A/N: So, I wasn't planning on updating this story at all because of a review that left me in a really sour mood about this story. It was anonymous, so I don't know who it was, but I was just upset about it. This is their review: Brianna is nothing but a spoiled brat! Where is the BREYTON? You know the reason I started reading this fic. OC characters should be nothing but background window dressing to the main story but I guess you aren't writing a Breyton fic! 2 thumbs down…
Now I can admit that maybe Brianna has been in the limelight for awhile, but I try my hardest to even out character time in each of my chapters. I also never said that this story was strictly Breyton either, plus OC characters are just as important as main characters or whatever.
I'm just wondering if others are feeling the same way about this story and whether or not I should continue because I really have no problem finishing this part of the story and not adding to it later on.

Part 3 Ch. 11: Being an Adult
"Sometimes, I hate my job," Peyton grumbles for the third time that night since getting a work phone call. Apparently one of her artists is having a tough time and they don't want to perform the rest of their tour. Now Peyton has to fly to Los Angeles to settle everything. "I don't want to leave you or Evan."
"Honey, this is a part of your job though. Sometimes musicians are temperamental," Brooke says as she places a few shirts of her wife's into her suitcase. Brooke was upset that her wife would be leaving until further notice, but someone had to stay home and watch their son.
"I know, I know," Peyton sighs and sits down on their bed. Brooke quickly does the same and settles against her wife's side.
"I'd be more than happy to come, but like you said, you don't know how long this is going to take and for obvious reasons, Evan can't watch himself. I love you, Peyton. We'll only be away from each other for a little bit."
Peyton grabs her wife's hand and kisses the back of it.
"I wish I didn't have to leave."
When Peyton had started Red Bedroom, she thought the hardest thing that her job entailed was to find an artist, but she had been completely wrong. Finding artists weren't the hardest thing in her job description. The hardest thing was leaving your family behind when things didn't go to plan.
"I wish I could go with you," Brooke whispers into the silent room.
Evan had been put down for the night an hour ago.
"Maybe you could," Peyton says as an idea comes to mind. Peyton cheerfully stops sulking. "We could ask Brianna and Skye to take care of Evan for a few days. Tomorrow is testing for freshman, sophomores and juniors. Seniors have the day off. Skye and Brianna should be free."
"Isn't Brianna studying though?"
"She can do both, can't she?"
Brooke smiles and gets up from the bed to go grab her phone.
"Let's find out."
-I Need You Now-
"No, I'm sure it will be fine. Yeah, mom, I got it. He's my brother. I know how to take care of him. Yes, mom. You two have fun, okay? I love you, too. Alright, bye."
Brianna hangs up the phone and returns to her studying. Skye just raises an eyebrow at her wife. Skye was flipping through TV channels trying to find something to watch. The volume was on low so it wouldn't disturb Brianna.
"Care to tell me what the phone call was about?"
"Um, Evan is going to stay with us for a few days."
"Brianna, any other time I would welcome it, but I have to work all weekend and you have to study. How are we going to do this?"
"I can do both. You just work your little heart out," Brianna says sarcastically.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Skye asks offended.
Brianna sighs and closes her eyes.
"It means nothing. I'm sorry. This whole test thing is freaking me out and I'm stressed and you've been gone."
"I just started this job. This is a great way to get the experience for what I want to do later on in life."
"I know and I'm sure all the kids love you. You're my wife and I miss you."
"Aww, baby," Skye coos as she gets off of the couch and crawls next to her wife. Skye sits down in Brianna's lap and kisses her softly. "I miss you, as well. You've been studying really hard. I think you should take a break."
"I c-can't," Brianna stutters out as Skye places small kiss on the column of Brianna's neck.
"Yes," Kiss. "You," Suck. "Can," Lick.
Brianna pushes her things off to the side and turns all her attention towards her wife.
"Don't you have work in the morning?"
Skye bites the bottom of her lip and nods her head.
"But it isn't morning now is it?"
Brianna grins as Skye gets off her lap and grabs a hold of her hand and races to their bedroom. Clothes were torn off bodies in a matter of minutes.
-I Need You Now-
"Where's Skyler?" Brooke asks as she walks into the house with her wife and her son. Brooke sets Evan down on the ground and he stumbles his way towards some of his toys that he had left from his visit before. They were spread around the living room.
"She's working," Brianna states as she shuts the front door.
"Are you sure you can handle this?" Peyton asks hesitantly.
"Why does everyone think I can't handle this? You two are supposed to be my parents. You are supposed to have confidence in me."
"We do sweetheart," Brooke says with a fake smile.
"That smile is fake," Brianna pouts.
Brooke and Peyton laugh as Brooke wraps her arms around her daughter.
"I'm sorry. You'll do just fine. I'll only be gone the weekend."
Brooke pulls away from her daughter with a smile.
"Brianna, hopefully I'll be done by the weekend as well so no worries," Peyton reassures.
"Whatever you say. When does your flight leave?"
"Not for a few hours. We figured we would stay and catch up a little bit."
Brianna smiles at her parents.
"I would really like that. Skye has been working the last week or so and I've been kind of lonely."
Brianna, Peyton and Brooke sit down on the couch and begin to catch up.
-I Need You Now-
It was around five when Skyler arrived home. She walked into the living room and saw Evan playing quietly on the floor. A glance to her left and she smiled at the sight. Brianna was snoring softly on the couch and holding a stuffed teddy bear in her arms. Her school work was scattered all over the table. Skye chuckles and turns to Evan.
"What are you doing buddy?"
Evan looks up from his cars. His eyes are wide as he glances at his sister.
"Shhh, B seepin."
"Okay," Skye whispers. "How about we let your sister sleep and you can help me in the kitchen and make some dinner?"
"K."
Skye picks Evan up and they move to the kitchen to start preparing dinner.
Brianna wakes up to the sounds of pots banging in the kitchen. Brianna quickly sits up on the couch and rubs her eyes. She glances to the floor when she realizes that she couldn't hear the sounds of her little brother playing anymore. Brianna stands up from the couch and stretches before walking into the kitchen. Brianna leans against the nearest wall and watches the scene in front of her.
"Evan, it is never too late to learn how to cook. When you are older and you get a girlfriend," Skye pauses for a second. "Or a boyfriend, it will be one way to show your appreciation to that person. Your sister can cook, but she doesn't do that very often." Skye turns to the stove and places the egg pan on top of it and places butter into the pan. She then turns to Evan who was watching her intently even though he had no idea what was really going on. Evan didn't really care. He was just glad that he was getting attention. "Do you want to help me crack an egg?"
From her spot on the wall, Brianna winces because she knows known of this was going to work. She had tried to show Evan this before.
Evan nods his head enthusiastically.
"Yeah, yeah!"
Skye grabs an egg and cracks it against the bowl before letting the egg drop inside. She places the egg shell in the trash. Skye hands Evan an egg.
"Now it's your turn."
Evan carefully grabs the egg. He looks at it and then at Skye who smiles at him in encouragement. He then looks inside the bowl and smiles before slamming the egg into the bowl, breaking the egg and egg shell all over.
Evan smiles and claps his hands. He was proud of himself.
"I didn't see that coming," Skye states as she cleans up the spills.
Brianna puts her feet forward and walks further into the kitchen.
"I did," Skye looks at her wife with a smile. "I tried to show him that once and he did the exact same thing."
"B, play," Evan says with a toothy smile.
Brianna grins at her little brother before picking him up and off the counter and throwing him in the air before catching him again. Evan laughs and drools at the same time, but Brianna didn't care. She wanted to hear the laughs and giggles.
"Alright you two, enough horsing around and come help me," Skye orders the siblings.
Brianna places Evan back on the countertop and looks at her wife.
"You sounded like a mom just then."
Skye grins and Brianna can see a twinkle in her eye.
"I guess I did."
-I Need You Now-
After a day in LA, Peyton had still not been able to rectify the situation with her artist. Fortunately, the artist wasn't set to perform for another day or so. Peyton was hoping to get this settled before then. A canceled concert would not be a very good thing.
In the meantime, Peyton had been enjoying alone time with her wife. So far they have had one romantic dinner. They've cuddled by a fire and just talked, but tonight it was going to be different. As Peyton lights the last remaining candle she laughs when she realizes how long it has actually been since she and Brooke had been intimate with each other. She couldn't even remember the last time that had happened and in her opinion it means that it's been a very long time. It's hard when you are taking care of an almost two year old. Add to the fact that they work constantly, there just isn't enough time in the day to become intimate and when there is time, they are just too damn tired to do anything so they settle on cuddling in the quiet before falling asleep. Not tonight though. Oh no, tonight was time to rekindle their passion.
Peyton smiles as she slowly walks out of the room and into the hallway of the hotel. Brooke was ordered to do some shopping while Peyton set everything up. Peyton was going to meet her wife in the lobby.
Peyton sits down on a nearby chair and waits. She didn't have to wait long because she spotted her wife entering the lobby with a few bags in her hands. Brooke spotted her wife and smiled as she walked over to her.
"Baby, I thought you had to work some more."
Peyton stands up from her chair and grabs onto Brooke's bags.
"So, I might have been a little misleading when I casually mentioned you to go shopping."
Brooke raises an eyebrow.
"Casually mentioned?"
"Okay, practically forced, but it was for a really good reason. Now we need to go up to our room because I have a surprise for you."
"Oh, and what's that?"
Peyton leans closer to her wife to whisper in her ear.
"It's been awhile so I figured I could recreate our honeymoon."
Brooke's eyes open wide and she grabs her wife's hand to run the rest of their way up to their room.
The clerk at his desk sighed.
"Newlyweds," he mutters before turning back to the computer to play solitaire. He really hated this job.
-I Need You Now-
Four hours later and Peyton and Brooke were snuggled up together under the sheets. One of Brooke's legs was in between Peyton's and an arm was covering Peyton's stomach. Both had just come down from their orgasmic state.
"I'd say that was a lot like our honeymoon, only now we are older and we seem to have perfected the orgasm giving," Brooke says with a grin.
Peyton chuckles and kisses her wife's sweaty hair.
"I know this day wasn't much, but I wanted to do something. We haven't been this intimate for awhile and it was kind of scaring me for a minute," Peyton admits.
Brooke sits up in bed and looks at her wife in concern.
"If you were feeling that way, why didn't you say something?"
"I didn't think you found me sexy anymore. I didn't want to force you to do something that you didn't want to do."
Brooke smiles and shakes her head.
"I love you. That won't ever change," Brooke leans forward and kisses Peyton with fierceness. She pulls away after nipping Peyton's bottom lip. "You felt disconnected and I get that. We have been busy, but that doesn't mean I don't find you sexy," Brooke looks down at her wife's naked breasts before reaching out and grabbing them. "Because you are so fine," Brooke purrs.
"You're not so bad yourself," Peyton teases before capturing Brooke's lips in another kiss before lying down on the bed. Brooke returned to her previous position. "I think we need to make this a regular thing."
Brooke nuzzled her nose along Peyton's neck.
"What do you mean?"
"One weekend a month we could come back here. Hopefully, in the same room and just spend some time together. No pressures from our jobs or the pressures that are involved in parenting. We could just relax. It would be our own getaway."
"I love the sound of that," Brooke says before leaning up and kissing her wife on the lips.
A/N: Hopefully I balanced this chapter enough so that all the Breyton lovers are satisfied. Now, hopefully I won't get any reviews that are telling me that the people in my life are horrible (Considering I base most of my 'new' characters and the things that happen to them about my life).
