A/N: Alright, so my schedule is going to be incredible busy for the next two months so updates for my stories will be at random and hopefully once a week. If you don't see an update for this story one week, plan on seeing it the next week. I can't keep to a schedule right now, my apologies, but volunteering is kind of important to me so my writing comes second. I hope you all understand.
Sorry I couldn't get this up when I said, but at least I have it up now.

Part 3 Ch. 3: Brianna's Secret
Skyler walks upstairs in search for her wife. Things had started to get a little overwhelming with the adults.
Skye found Brianna sitting on the bed staring at something in her hand.
"What do you have there?"
"I'm not exactly sure. The letter was kind of vague," Brianna states as she hands the letter to her wife.
Skye reads the letter and Brianna waits patiently for her to finish. When she does, Brianna continues.
"I'm going to go see what's in the safety deposit box tomorrow. I don't want to make any decisions until I figure out what's in that box."
"I agree. From what the letter says it might be important."
"I love you," Brianna says after five minutes of silence.
"I love you, too, you goof," Skye says with a laugh.
Brianna grins at her. Skye reaches for Brianna's hand and squeezes it.
"We should go back downstairs; see what the rents are talking about."
Brianna nods her head.
"Are you going to tell them about the key?"
Brianna shakes her head.
"No, I want to know what's there before telling anyone. Will you come with me?"
"Of course I will."
-I Need You Now-
The next day, Brianna and Skye walked into Tree Hill bank with curiosity filling their minds. Brianna had given her key to a lady at the desk who showed them to the safety deposit box. The lady let them be as they went through their things.
Brianna twisted the key into the lock and popped the lid open. Skye sat patiently while Brianna went through the box.
"I can't believe that woman," Brianna says as tears fall from her eyes.
"Baby, what's wrong?"
Brianna hands Skye the paper and smiles softly.
"We don't have to find a place to live. We already have one."
Skye reads over the papers quickly and carefully and she is completely stunned at what she sees.
"Is this really a deed to a house?"
Brianna nods her head as she looks through more papers.
"Yeah, it was my childhood home. I never knew what really happened to it. So many things were happening at the time. I kind of just forgot about all of this."
"What exactly is all of this?" Skye questions as she places the deed to Brianna's childhood home next to the safety deposit box.
"A few accounts in my name and my brother's, but since he's gone it got moved into my name."
"Wow."
"Yeah, the money will help, too. Apparently I bought our wedding rings with my credit card."
Skye winces.
"Yeah, I know," Brianna says as she takes the rest of the papers and a set of keys from the box. "Are you ready to go? We can go swing by the beach house I guess on our way home so I can tell my parents what the hell is going on."
Skye's eyes widen.
"A house on the beach?"
Brianna nods her head.
"Yeah."
"Brianna, that house is going to be hell to pay for you know that right?"
Brianna stood up from her chair.
"Mortgage is paid for already…all we would have to pay is utilities and stuff."
Brianna leaves Skye sitting in her chair in shock.
-I Need You Now-
When Brianna parked the car at 508 Augusta Avenue, Skye couldn't believe her eyes. The home was gorgeous and she could already see herself living there. Brianna smiles at Skye's expression.
They both get out of the car and start heading up the walkway.
"It's a 3 bedroom 2 bath home, with a wraparound chair porch. From what I remember it had beautiful arched entryways. It's an open floor plan," Brianna says as she unlocks the front door. "Living room is in front, family room is in the rear. Large kitchen with island, built in oven and microwave, countertops with tile edging, kitchen desk, and breakfast area with doors to deck."
Skye and Brianna notice the plastic wrapping on the furniture and Brianna was grateful that they didn't need to buy new furniture.
"Split bedroom plan, large master suite with walk-in closet, double vanities, separate tile shower."
Skye opened the curtains and let the sun light the master bedroom.
"You really grew up here?"
Brianna nods her head.
"Yeah, I did, but I really don't want to talk about. We need to get home so I can Peyton and Brooke to stop looking for apartments. I need to set up electricity and other things and then we need to get this placed cleaned up and in living conditions."
Skye walked to Brianna and wrapped her arms around her.
"This is a huge step."
Brianna lifted up Skye's left hand.
"So, was getting married."
"You're right it was, but we were drunk. We are actually going to move in here and be an actual married couple."
Brianna grins.
"Yes, we are."
-I Need You Now-
When the girls got home they had a long talk with Brooke, Peyton, Melissa and Ty about what their future held. The adults had been surprised on what Brianna had discovered.
A few days later they were all invited to the house to help Skye and Brianna clean so they could live there dust free. It took a few days, but once that was clean, all that was left to do was set up the utilities and move in.
Brianna was in her room packing her things when Peyton and Brooke stepped in.
"I can't believe you're leaving already. You were supposed to leave for college not halfway through your senior year."
Brianna placed her final clothing in boxes.
"I know and I'm sorry about that, but we have to do this. Skye and I are married and luck was just on our side that's all," Brianna says with a small smile. "You guys can visit, but make sure you call first."
Brooke and Peyton frown.
"I don't want to think about that," Peyton says honestly as she gives Brianna a hug. "You're our daughter and we love you. We expect weekly dinners and you and Skye still need jobs."
Brianna nods her head as she pulls away from the hug.
"I know that and we will. We'll get settled in first and then hopefully everything will fall into place."
Brianna turns to Brooke who has tears in her eyes. Peyton grabs the last of Brianna's boxes into her hand.
"I'll go put these in the car."
Peyton leaves the room and Brianna wraps her arms around Brooke.
"I'm not that far away. You can call and visit. I promise."
"I didn't expect this to be so hard. I'm such a mess."
Brianna pulls away with a smile.
"No you're not, you're just a mom."
-I Need You Now-
Skye and Brianna quickly settle into the house. It had taken a few hours to unpack everything, but now that they had they settled on the couch. Skye was going through take-out menus and Brianna had her laptop in her lap getting ready to write.
"Any preference on food?" Skye asks as she switches between Pizza menus.
"Nope, not really," Brianna says as she logs into her account.
Skye smiles at Brianna's concentration and picks up Brianna's cell phone.
"I'm calling," Skye says before getting up and walking out of the room. Brianna smiles and watches Skye leave.
It's been sometime since I've been on here and I must admit that I am sorry for that. Lots and lots of things have happened in my life and I can't explain it all on this update so I'll give you all the majority of it. If you want more just message me and I'll see what I can do.
Skye and I have been through our ups and downs. We broke up and dated other people. She dated Julie and I dated Mark.
Now Skye and I are together and Mark is expecting a child with Julie. (It's a totally long story and really not about my life so you'd have to track them down)
My eighteenth birthday changed my life.
I went to Vegas with Skye and got drunk.
Now I am sitting in my child hood home, yes you read that right, childhood home with my laptop on my lap and telling you that I am proudly wearing a wedding ring on my left ring finger.
