Hey guys! Thanks for SO many people making me their favorite author and this there favorite story! I appreciate it so much! Please review! This chapter is kinda short!

Jake sat alone on the couch as he heard the front door slam, shaking the whole house. Where was she going? Jake held his head in his hands and sighed. "I am so stupid..." He said aloud to himself.

Peyton walked down the streets of Tree Hill taking in the cold air. She sighed as she realized that this is what marriage is about. You can't just expect to live happily ever after, even though how much you want to. But it was their fairy tale, Jake and Peyton a Fairy tale that would never die.

This had been their first real fight. Except for the fight in Savannah of course. She didn't even notice were she was walking until she ended up there. Brooke's house. Brooke had always been a friend to Peyton and she knew she could go there for anything she needed, even if Brooke wasn't exactly at her best nowadays.

Peyton tapped lightly on the door and Brooke opened it, wearing her oh-so-stylish Clothes over Bro's maternity wear. It seemed her stomach was getting bigger and bigger every day.

"Hey P. Sawyer!" Brooke said cheerily. Things had gotten a lot better with Brooke lately. Lucas was by her side and promised not to let her down, and Karen was being a big supporter of this whole thing. But, Brooke was happy. She was going to have a family, something she never had before.

Peyton was just about to answer when she noticed Lucas sitting on Brooke's couch watching TV. Peyton knew now wasn't the best time to be hanging around Lucas, but Jake didn't know. She was at Brooke's house after all.

"Hey...What's wrong?" Brooke asked and Peyton shook her head. "Jake and I had a fight. Can I stay here for a little while?" Brooke nodded. "Sure, come in."

Lucas turned and saw Peyton. He smiled at her. "Hey Blondie. You're just in time to watch American Idol!" Lucas said sarcastically. He hated American Idol, but Brooke insisted they watch it. It was her favorite show after all.

Peyton laughed brokenly and sat down beside him.

Jake was still on the couch thinking an hour later. He wanted to call Luke; to see if he knew were Peyton was. He was kind of hoping he didn't.

He dialed Lucas's cell phone number and it began to ring, soon Lucas picked up. "hey man!" Lucas said smiling. "Hey. What's up?" Jake asked, and Peyton turned to Lucas. Was that Jake's voice? Uh-oh.

"Oh nothing much. Just watching TV. You?" "Same." Jake answered. "So, have you seen Peyton around?" Jake asked. Peyton quickly turned to Lucas and shook her head. Mouthing the words "No!" And making some weird symbol with her hands. Brooke was doing the same thing as Peyton.

"Sorry Jake, what are you doing?" Lucas asked both of them as he covered the phone with his hand. "Don't tell Jake I'm here!" Peyton whispered harshly. Lucas nodded. "No, no can't say I have." Lucas said. "Okay, well thanks anyway. Gotta go." Jake said hanging up.

"Why don't you want Jake to know you're here?" Lucas asked as Brooke sat down beside him. "We had a fight." She responded. Lucas nodded. "Lucas and I never fight! Right honey?" Brooke said, playfully pinching his cheeks. "Yeah..." Lucas said sarcastically. Brooke laughed.

Peyton arrived home hours later at shut the door quietly. She was happy Jenny was with Jake's parents. She walked into the living room and saw Jake, sleeping peacefully on the couch. She walked past him and the breeze woke him up.

She turned around as he groaned tiredly. "Hey..." Peyton said waking over to him. "Hey." Jake answered sitting up and brushing his hair with his fingers. Peyton walked over to him and sat on his lap. Burring her head in the crook of his neck. "I'm sorry." She whispered in his ear. "I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have said that. I love you." He said as Peyton looked at him. "I love you too." Jake nodded. "And I always will." Peyton smiled.

"Well that's good, because I have something to tell you."

Jake arched his eyebrows.
