A/N-Here is another update so I hope you enjoy it. READ AND REVIEW PLEASE! I've actually had this written for over a week and it totally blew my mind that I forgot to update this story or I already thought that I had, but anyway I didn't discover it until I wrote another chapter so you are lucky and getting two in one.
Chapter Five: It's Impossible
Brooke looked at her daughter in shock.
"You are telling me that Gracyn is Peyton and Lucas biological daughter."
Sam nods her head.
"That's impossible."
"No it's not she was given up at birth like me nothing is impossible."
"But I held her and I was there when she was born I don't understand how couldn't have known this whole time."
Sam smiled sadly at her mother.
"Look, Grace is just trying to move on which is why she wants signatures. Mom, you have to tell Peyton because I know what she looked like. She looked like Rebecca."
Brooke frowned at the words coming from her daughter's mouth. Rebecca was a sore subject with Brooke even with Julian.
"I didn't mean to bring her up, but the point is Rebecca wanted me back and Peyton had that same look, but I don't think Grace feels the same way. Just tell Peyton to sign and that's it."
Brooke stands up from the bed.
"How can you just say that Sam? Peyton is my best friend."
"Yeah, well Grace is mine okay? I do what's best for her. If Peyton wants to know her than fine, but if Grace doesn't want her too that's okay to. I'm sticking with my friend mom and if that doesn't fit with your decision then it's too damn bad," Sam says before storming out of her room.
Julian walks into Sam's room after hearing the front door slam.
"What was that about?"
Brooke sighs and shrugs her shoulders.
"Difference of opinion."
"That's nothing new," Julian says trying to lighten the mood.
"I have to tell Peyton."
Sam walked out of her house and down to the river court where Grace was sitting staring at the water.
"Hey best friend."
"Hi," Grace responds with a slight smile.
"I have a confession to make."
Grace raises an eyebrow.
"I told my mom who you were."
Grace groans and lays her head down in the grass.
"Everything isn't going as I planned. All I wanted to do was to get the signatures and be on my way. It's proving harder to do every single minute."
"My mom held you when you were born."
Grace looks at Sam and frowns.
"I'm jealous actually. I never got that. I mean you are learning it now, but I never got that. I was never held when I was born only just by the doctors and the nurses and the social worker, but no one else.
"I'm sorry."
Sam shakes her head.
"It's not your fault and besides I fought with my mom earlier I just came here to get calmer before I go back."
Grace chuckles.
"I think the universe is funny."
"Why is that?"
"Because your mom is friends with my birth mom and we have been friends for a very long time and never figured out the connection."
"Who cares? As long as we are friends that's all I care about."
"Me too," Grace agrees before looking up at the clouds and getting lost in her thoughts.
Brooke walks into Peyton's house and sees Peyton sitting on the floor.
"What are you doing?" Brooke asks as she sits down next to Peyton.
"I told Lucas and he walked out. What are you doing here?"
"I had a fight with Sam and she walked out," Brooke says with a sigh.
"Then why don't you look for her?"
"Because she needs to cool down and besides I think she is hanging out with your daughter, she always is."
Peyton looks at Brooke in confusion.
"Sam informed that Gracyn Scott her best friend is the biological daughter of two best friends you and Lucas."
Peyton looks at her friend in shock.
"How long have you known Gracyn?"
"Since I've known Sam which is awhile and I never figured it out."
"I need to talk to Gracyn."
"My guess is check the river court. They go there often."
Peyton stands up and nods her head.
"Thanks Brooke."
"No problem."
Peyton wipes at her eyes and runs out of the house. She hops into her car and drives down to the river court.
Peyton pulls up and notices Sam right away. She hops out of the car and slowly walks up to them.
Sam and Grace sit up when they hear footsteps and Sam and Grace instantly get to their feet when they come face to face with Peyton.
"Grace, I'm just going to go home. I have to settle things with my mom."
Sam walks away and nods her head to Peyton who nods in return.
"Hi," Peyton says hesitantly.
"Hi," Grace says back before turning to look at the water again.
Peyton walks closer to Grace and looks at the water also.
"I don't really know how to do this," Peyton admits.
Grace shrugs her shoulders.
"Me neither."
"I talked to Lucas."
Grace nods her head.
"He's okay. He did what I asked him to."
"I take it that you want me to sign the papers too."
"You wouldn't be wrong in that assumption."
"Can I ask you something?"
Grace looks at Peyton with a raised eyebrow. Grace eventually nods her head.
"Has your life been okay?"
"Do you want the truth or the lie I tell people all the time?"
"The truth."
"My life sucks which is why I need you to sign the paper so that I can just move on from everything."
"Oh um…wow."
Grace rolls her eyes and takes out the paper from her pocket and a pen.
"Do you carry that around with you everywhere?"
"Pretty much, can you sign please?"
Peyton nods her head and signs the papers.
Grace smiles when she sees the paper.
"Look, I need to go, but thanks for this. Now maybe a judge can grant me emancipation."
"Are you sure that's what you want?" Peyton asks hesitantly.
"I have no other choice," Grace replies. "But thanks again."
Grace starts walking away and Peyton watches her go.
What did I just do?
