Episode 19 Ch. 2 Christmas Continued

Almost everyone had arrived at Peyton and Lucas' house. She had ordered the perfect meal for the day. She didn't feel like cooking, and Lucas thought it would be best if they just ordered as much food as possible.

Brooke was helping Peyton get things set out on the counter. "I can't believe that we all actually fit in this house," Brooke told her.

"Next Christmas we can celebrate in our mansion," Peyton smiled.

"What mansion?"

"This one," she pulled out the folder.

"Holy crap that is a huge house," Brooke screamed. "That is absolutely gorgeous."

"Lucas had it built for us. We're gonna be able to move in soon. I am so excited."

"I wish I had a house like that. It rocks."

Nathan and Lucas walk over to where the girls are talking. "What are you two girls talking about?" Lucas asked.

Brooke looked at Nathan, "This amazing house that Lucas had built for Peyton. I want a house like this." she whined.

"Already done," he smiled and looked at Lucas.

"What's going on?" Peyton wondered.

Nathan handed Brooke a folder, "I was going to wait until after we were married, but I don't want to wait any longer."

"This is a house Nathan," she exclaimed. It was huge.

"It's our new house. We're gonna be a family in it." Nathan smiled. He was so happy to make her happy.

"Nathan this is incredible."

Lucas finally spoke up, "The best part about that house is it is located right next to ours."

"What?" Brooke and Peyton asked at the same time.

"We had the houses built right next to each other."

Peyton and Brooke looked at each other, "Oh my God."

"Thank you," Peyton said. "This is an amazing gift."

"An amazing gift for an amazing girl." Lucas kissed her and Brooke and Nathan followed suit.

Outside the house Larry and Grace are waiting to go in. The girls have already gone inside. "What are we waiting for?" Grace asked.

"Thank you," Larry told her.

"For what?"

"For giving me a family. I messed up with Peyton. I know that now, but you have given me a chance to make up for all of those mistakes. I'm gonna be a good father to those girls. Because I love them like they were my own."

"Thank you Larry," she smiled. "I love you."

"I love you too," they kiss. Peyton opens the door.

"Oh I'm sorry," she was embarrassed.

"Oh hi honey," he was also embarrassed.

"You guys better come in before you get cold." She held the door open, and they walked in.

……………………………………………………………………………………………

Breanne is sitting on the couch. Jacey and Keith walk over to her. "Hey girly you are supposed to be at home," Jacey told her.

"I didn't want to spend Christmas alone," Breanne told them.

"I don't blame you," Keith said. "I'm glad you are here Breanne."

"Thanks Keith."

Summer is standing alone when Lily joins her. "Where's your husband?"

"Outside I guess. He's not really talking to me," she said sadly.

"What's up with that?"

"He's mad because I didn't want to have a baby with him."

Lily shook her head, "Just because you're not ready for a baby now doesn't mean that you never want to have a baby."

"I do want a baby one day, but I have my whole life ahead of me. I love Jeremy, but I'm not ready for a kid."

"Maybe you should talk to your husband about all of this."

"I've tried, but he won't listen to me," Summer shrugged.

"Try harder…You're married and you two can get through anything together." Lily put her hand on Summer's shoulder.

"Like you tried with Spencer," she said as she walked away. Lily just looked at her. Maybe she was right. Maybe Lily should have tried harder with Spencer.

Chase and Laura are kissing in Lucas' study. "Merry Christmas to you too," Laura told him in between kisses.

"I think this is the best Christmas I have ever had," he kissed her again.

Brooke walked into see them kissing, "Oh my Goodness," she was caught off guard.

"Mom," he pushed away from Laura. "I'd like you to meet my girlfriend."

"Hi Ms. Davis," Laura said. She was a little nervous.

"Hi um," she didn't know her name.

"This is Laura," he said once he realized his mom didn't know.

"Hi Laura it's nice to finally know that my son has a girlfriend."

Brooke walked out of the room, and Chase followed her. "Mom are you mad?"

She smiled, "No Chase I'm not mad. She seems like a sweet girl."

"She is, and I like her a lot," Chase smiled.

"I think I'm gonna like her a lot too," Brooke hugged her son.

Chase walked back into the study, "Hey."

"Your mom hates me," Laura told him.

"No," he shook his head. "She loves you. I promise."

They started kissing again.

Peyton was still in the kitchen when Nathan walked in. "Shouldn't you be resting Sawyer?"

Peyton laughed, "You do know that I'm a Scott."

"You'll always be a Sawyer to me." He smiled. "Don't change the subject. You know you should be resting."

"I'm fine Nathan. I promise, but thanks for caring." She smiled. "Are you nervous?"

"No, not when it comes to Brooke. She makes everything feel right."

"I never imagined the two of you together, but you really make her happy Nathan. I'm glad the two of you found each other."

"Me too," Nathan smiled. "Now go sit down," he demanded. "I'll finish up here."

She gave him a hug, "You are a good guy Nathan Scott."

"Hey Sawyer it looks like the two of us had a pretty good year."

"Yeah I think we both got everything we ever wanted this year. It was a damn good year," she smiled and walked into the kitchen.

Jeremy is outside shooting hoops in the cold by himself. Lily catches the ball. "Hey give that back."

"Not until you talk to me," she threw it across the yard.

"Damn it Lily."

"It's Christmas, and your wife is inside without you. Something is wrong with that picture."

"Lily I don't need a lecture."

"Well too damn bad. She loves you."

"I know she loves me. I love her too, but she didn't want to have a baby with me. That is what married people do. They have kids." He was frustrated with the whole situation.

"You're in high school Jeremy. High school kids shouldn't have kids even if they are married. Now stop being an ass, and go tell your wife how much you love her or I'm gonna be pissed off." She walked back inside the house.

The scene changes to Summer sitting alone. "Hey," Jeremy said as he sat beside her.

"Hi," she didn't smile like she usually would when she saw him.

"I'm an ass," he admitted.

She looked up at him, "Don't worry about it Jeremy."

"No Summer I'm sorry," he touches her hand. "You were right we don't have time to have a baby right now. I was just so excited about the idea of having a child with you. I know you are going to be a great mother."

"And you are going to be a great father someday," she told him.

"You're right someday we both will, but not yet. Let's just be married for a while." He smiled.

"I like that idea," she kissed him.

Michelle answers the knock at the door to find Andy standing in front of her. She didn't invite him in. She just walked away from the door.

"Michelle," he followed her.

"I don't have time for your excuses Andy."

"I don't have any excuses Michelle. I love you."

Michelle shook her head, "Okay."

"I was scared of taking the next step with you, but then I realized that love is all about taking a risk. I want to take a risk with you. We can live here or at my house or in a new home, but I would love to live with you." He walked closer to her.

"Are you just saying that to make me not mad at you because it is kind of working?"

He smiled, "I'm saying it because I love you, and I want to take this risk with you." They kissed.

Spencer walks into his house to see Joanna sitting on his couch waiting for him. "Hi, I was hoping you would get home soon."

"What the hell are you doing here?" he was pissed.

"It's Christmas, and you are supposed to spend it with the people you love, and I love you," She stood up to greet him.

He shook his head, "But I don't love you."

"Yes you do. I know you do Spencer."

She touched his hand, and he pulled away. "I don't love you Joanna. I love Lily, and I always will."

"Well she's not here now is she?"

"But she'll come back to me because I know that she feels the same way that I do," he was confident in his words.

"You are wrong Spencer, and you will see that soon enough. She doesn't love you."

He walked to the door, "She might not love me, but that doesn't mean that I love you. I will never love you, and I think that it would be best if you went back to Paris."

"Spencer," she pleaded.

"Leave Joanna because you are not wanted here."

Joanna finally took the hint and left, but she would never be gone from his life.

Alright so this was sort of a filler chapter. I'll have another chapter posted later today.
