A/N: Wow, it's been a while, but I have good reason. I have been planning the rest of Part 3 out and I've got most of the summaries written done. Now I just have to write them so you should get more constant updates.

Part 3 Ch. 5: A Damaging Relationship

It's been three weeks since Brianna and Skye's housewarming party and Brianna and Brooke have not spoken one word to each other. Skye had tried many a times to get Brianna to speak to Brooke, but Brianna would have none of that.

Peyton had no success with Brooke either.

Currently, Skyler and Brianna were in the living area in their home. Brianna was flipping through the television to try and settle on a station to watch as Skye was going through a stack of brochures for colleges. Skye was getting a little irritated because her wife didn't seem to care about college.

"Honey, are you ever going to stop watching the television and join me down here?"

"I'm going where you are going, obviously so I don't care," Brianna says nonchalantly.

Skye groans and Brianna looks at her wife with a raised eyebrow. Brianna sighs and shuts off the TV.

"Look, I don't see the big deal in choosing a college. You and I are married and I refuse to have a long distance relationship so I'm going to apply to wherever you want to apply. Basically, all you have to do is pick the ones you want and I'll follow."

"But I want us to chose together," Skye whines.

Brianna smirks and crawls from the couch and onto the floor where Skye was sitting. Brianna pushes the table away and crawls into her wife's lap. Skye grins and brings her arms around her wife.

"Just because you are giving me a lustful gaze does not make this conversation over, you know that?" Skye scolds.

"Maybe not, but at least I can distract you for awhile," Brianna says before bending down and capturing her wife's lips in a kiss.

Skye knew where this was going to lead and she was all for it. Skye's hands found residence on Brianna's ass as Brianna's tongue found their way into her wife's mouth.

Skye pulled away out of breath. She tugged Brianna's shirt over her head and in a quick moment Brianna was on her back and the rest of their clothing were lost quickly.

-I Need You Now-

Brooke walks out of her bedroom with a yawn just as Peyton comes out of the guest bedroom.

"Are you ever going to come back into our room?"

Ever since the housewarming party things with Brooke and Peyton were at a standstill. Peyton had been trying to get Brooke to talk to their daughter and when she realized that Brooke's stubbornness was going to win, Peyton had moved to sleeping in the guest room. She missed her wife, obviously. She missed the warmth that she felt when Brooke was in her arms, but she didn't want to them to be the parents that their child hates and with Brooke not talking to Brianna it was starting to turn out that way.

"Are you ever going to sit down and have a civilized conversation with our daughter and not you yelling at her and telling her what a mistake it was to get married?"

Brooke remains silent and Peyton shakes her head.

"I thought so. Look, I'm going to get ready and head to the studio. I know you have to go to the store so do you want me to take Evan or do you want him with you today?"

"You can take him. Let me go get him ready."

Peyton nods her head and grabs onto Brooke's hand.

"I love you Brooke, but I just think this thing with you and Brianna has got to end. I don't want to miss out on my daughter's life and I don't want you too either. You don't have to like that they are married, but you could at least accept it or try to."

-I Need You Now-

Skye and Brianna were cuddled up on the floor and lying on throw pillows and covered in a big blanket that Brianna had gotten after their love making had ended. Neither girl wanted to get dressed so they could feel every amount of each other as they cuddled. They felt closer that way.

Brianna was softly running her fingertips up and down Skye's back as Skye talked about her possible college choices.

"I don't want to go somewhere really expensive. I don't want to be stuck in huge school loans and I'm sure you don't either."

Brianna chuckled.

"We probably won't be in debt. We have a lot of money Skyler. I was left with all the money my mother had when she died and she was a good investor. I'm still making money as we speak and I'm not doing anything."

"But I don't want to us that money. I want to use that money for other reasons. We don't need them to pay for schooling at least not right now. We could use some of the money to pay back the loans right away. I just think that money would be better suited for when we are a little older and more settled."

Brianna gave Skye a kiss and pulled away.

"Do you mean when you want us to start a family?" Brianna asked with a grin.

Skye closed her eyes and nodded her head. She placed a kiss on the top of Brianna's breast.

"Yes."

Brianna hummed.

"I like that idea. But I also like the idea of us getting dressed because we have college applications to fill out."

Skye sat up and gave Brianna a grin.

"Are you really going to fill them out with me?"

Brianna nodded her head with a smile.

"You bet I am."

-I Need You Now-

"I didn't get to see my daughter get married. I have a right to be upset. I mean every mother dreams about that day and I know Brianna is young, but I was young too and that's not what upsets me. I'm angry because I wasn't there. It just pisses me off. Don't you feel the same way?"

The startled customer looks at Brooke with wide eyes.

"I just wanted some pants," the customer murmured before hurrying out the door.

Brooke sighs and bangs her head on the counter. The bell above the door rings as the door opens. Brooke's head is still on the table so she doesn't see who comes in.

"Oh oh, buddy, I think mommy's having a bad day."

Brooke looks up at the sound of her wife's voice and smiles slightly. Peyton puts Evan on the ground and Evan walks over to his mommy.

"Bad day."

Brooke picks up Evan and sets him on the counter.

"Yeah baby, mommy had a bad day, but you are making it better."

"Bri Bri."

Peyton hides her smile because her son was a smart man. He knew his sister hasn't seen him lately and he didn't like that one bit.

"Brianna is busy Evan. You won't see her for awhile, but I'll have momma give her a call for you," Brooke explains to her son.

"No I won't. You can make that call for your son Brooke and while you are at it, fix things with our daughter," Peyton says before walking into the back.

Brooke frowns at her son.

"Momma doesn't play fair."

"No play," Evan says as he shakes his head.

Brooke sighs. She wasn't ready to forgive Brianna and she was starting to think that she may never be ready.
