I'm posting two in one night, just for you guys.

Chapter Eighteen

Another month had passed, and the gang was sitting quietly outside a restaurant in the middle of New York City.

"Hey guys, we have something to tell you." Peyton said.

"Oh my God!" Brooke exclaimed. "You're pregnant aren't you!"

Jake, currently taking a sip of water, spat the water back out at hearing this.

"No, no. Definitely not that." Peyton laughed.

"Thank God!" Brooke said, receiving weird looks from everyone in the group. Noticing this, she began to explain. "If Peyton gets pregnant, and Haley's already pregnant, then I'd have to get pregnant too. And I am soooo not ready for that!" Everyone laughed at Brooke's comment. It was a classic Brooke Davis.

"So what's the big news?" Haley asked.

"Well.." Jake started. How was he going to tell them this?

"We're moving back to Tree Hill." Peyton finished for him. She looked around at the wide eyes from everyone at the table.

"Wait...when?" Brooke stuttered out.

"We're not sure. We looked at several houses when we were down there last month, but we need to buy one first. But we want to be married there and start our family there. It's our home, not this city." Peyton said She really hoped her friends would be okay with this.

"Aww, I'm going to miss you P. Sawyer Jagielski-to-be!"

"We're going to miss you guys all so much, but we'll visit and you had better as well!"

The rest of the night they spent reminiscing old times in Tree Hill. None of them had realized how much they all really missed it.

Unlocking the door, Lucas let Brooke into their apartment. She took of her coat, hung it up in the closet, and walked over to sit on the couch.

"What's going on in that beautiful head of yours?" he asked her.

Looking up, she smiled at him. "Oh, nothing."

Lucas laughed at her. "Am I really supposed to believe that? Really, Brooke, what's up?"

"I was just thinking about how much I miss Tree Hill. That's all."

"Yeah, I miss it too. I miss my mom, and not having the chance to know Keira better."

They sat there quietly for a few seconds, until Lucas spoke up again.

"Why don't we move then?"

"What?" Brooke looked at him surprised. "Lucas we can't do that."

"Why not? We could buy a house there. It'd be perfect."

Brooke smiled at the thought of buying a house with Lucas It was perfect. It would have to have a red door. And a big back yard for their kids. Wait.. kids? She liked that thought more than she thought she would. Just as she was warming up to the idea, reality hit her.

"What about school?"

"We transfer."

"And your job?"

"There's always another job, Brooke. It doesn't matter where I am. I just know I want to be in Tree Hill, with you."

Brooke smiled. "Let's do it!" She hugged him. "Let's move back to Tree Hill!"

They spent the rest of the night huddled around Lucas' computer, searching and looking at houses for sale.

"Aren't you jealous of them, Hales? Jake and Peyton I mean." Nathan asked as he and Haley lay in bed before bed.

"Yes." She whispered. "I would love to raise our family in a place like Tree Hill. I'm not sure about living in this city."

"Are you excited?" he asked, changing the subject.

"Yeah, and scared. What if I'm horrible at it, Nathan?"

"I doubt that Haley."

"How about you? Are you excited?"

"I just can't wait to hold 'em, you know? I can't wait to shoe 'em the world."

Haley smiled at her husband, leaning over to kiss him.

"I love you so much, Nathan."

"And I love you."

Haley settled further into the bed, trying to get comfortable, something that was getting harder and harder to with her belly.

"Haley, I have something to tell you."

She looked up at her husband more nervously now.

"Well, that doesn't sound good."

Nathan realized that it probably didn't sound too good, and smiled to reassure her. "Trust me it's good. Well, at least I think it is."

"Oh, okay. What's up?" She was still slightly nervous.

"Well, a week or so ago, I called my agent and asked him if there was any possibility that he could pull some strings, and get me traded or transferred to North Carolina. When we were down there last month, I realized how much I missed it, and how much I wanted my family there. Tonight after dinner he called me back, saying it was almost a done deal."

"Wait, we're moving to Tree Hill?" she asked.

"We're moving to Tree Hill." He said flatly, unsure of how she felt.

Haley squealed. "We're moving to Tree Hill! Nathan I love you!"

Nathan took this as a good reaction, and pulled her into a hug.

"You're not mad I didn't ask you?"

"No! This is the best surprise I've ever had. I can't wait!"

"I can't either."

He reached over and flicked off the light, and pulled Haley close to him.

"Goodnight Haley."

"Goodnight Nathan."

"Goodnight Baby." they said in unison.

The next afternoon the gang had decided to meet at the infamous diner they loved so much.

They all sat there in slight conversation, eating French fries and sipping on their sodas.

"Okay, I can't hold it in any longer." Haley started." Me and Nathan have something to tell you."

"Me and Lucas do too." Brooke said sipping her Cherry Coke.

"Okay, you first then." Nathan said.

"Uh, okay. We'removingtoTreeHill." Lucas said too fast.

"Okay, what was that?" Jake said.

"We're moving to Tree Hill."

"No way!" Peyton exclaimed.

Haley's face was in shock. "Us too."

"What!?!" Peyton said even louder.

Nathan laughed. "It's looks like we're all moving back to Tree Hill."

"Damn, I was just about to get rid of you guys too." Peyton joked, her voice filled with sarcasm.

"Hell, a coma couldn't get you away from me." Brooke laughed causing everyone else to laugh with her.

They continued on planning their life and return to Tree Hill. They were all happy to be going back home.
