I own nothing—thanks for the reviews.

Okay, so the premiere was amazing! Leyton angst was wonderful. I was hoping they wouldn't be together just so we could see them pining for each other.

The way he told her about Lindsey made me upset just cause he was like bam about it. She was there and she saw Lindsey kiss his cheek, that was sad and it pissed me off lol, but I wanna know why they weren't talking to begin with. Then the whole 'you're art matters' speech was amazing. But the fact that he started writing again . . . all Peyton! Gahh, obviously I love them lol.

I cannot wait till next week.

Lindsey: Should I be concerned (or something like that)

YES! BE CONCERNED.

Naley. I kinda like jerky Nathan just because when he gets better he will make up for it. Jamie is ADORABLE; seriously that little kid melts my heart.

Brooke. I've always had a soft spot for her and I love her interactions with Jamie. Her being so supportive of Leyton is odd, but we'll see where it goes. I think there are other things behind it, but we shall see.

Sorry, but I needed to let that all out.

Seriously enough of my rambling. Here is the chapter.


Sometimes I feel so full of love

It just comes spilling out

It's uncomfortable to see

I give it away so easily

But if I had someone I would do anything

I'd never, never, never let you feel alone

I won't, I won't leave you on your own

Peyton groaned as the sounds of a baby filled her room.

"Stupid baby monitor", she muttered into the pillow.

She gave herself another minute, mostly to gather her thoughts. Last night she and Lucas became a couple; again. She prayed that things would work between them because honestly, she couldn't handle one more heart ache. Her eyelids were growing heavier and she felt her dreams returning. Until that damn baby monitor wailed again.

She loved motherhood and she loved Keith, but the feedings every few hours were taking a toll on her. The past few weeks were taking a toll on her. Her body was tired and aching and all she wanted to do was curl up into a ball and sleep the world away. Again with the crying!

She groaned once more and threw the covers off her body.

"I got it!" a voice boomed over the walkie-talkie. She couldn't help but to smile. Those had turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

"What the hell are these?" Peyton asked in slight amusement.

"Walkie-talkies", Lucas responded as he concentrated on opening the damn things. Why was this plastic super strong?

"I got that", she muttered with annoyance. "I wanted to know why you have them."

"Ah, well, since I'm living here too, I don't expect you to do everything. I know that you're breast feeding, but I also know that you use the pump. So, if he ever cries during the night or whenever, I can use this to let you know I got him, this way we both aren't up because that wouldn't make sense."

Lucas smiled with determination as he pried the packaging open.

Peyton smiled at how amazing he was.

She lay on her back for another minute. Considering how tired she was before, she was suddenly quite restless. She threw her legs over the bed and pushed herself up. She was curious and she was a mother. Both meant she had to see what Lucas was doing.

She walked down the hall and delicately peered into the nursery. Lucas was sitting in the rocker with Keith safely in his large arms.

"Calm down, little guy", Lucas cooed. "I know, I know . . . actually I don't know", he chuckled at his own honesty. "Your mom is a whole lot better at knowing what you need. When she was pregnant with you she was terrified that she wouldn't be a good mother. She didn't have a whole lot of that in her life, you'll learn about that later, but anyway, she was scared. She doubted herself and her abilities. I was scared too, we're eighteen; I'm lucky if I remember my homework and now there was you and you needed me to remember everything. Honestly I doubted myself. But, I never once doubted your mother. I knew she would be amazing because she has a huge heart and she has a lot to give."

Before she literally burst into tears at his words, Peyton walked into the room.

"Hey boys", she cooed as she knelt down and brushed Keith's cheek.

Lucas took notice of her flushed face and sniffling nose. "Have you been here long?"

She looked at him innocently. "No, I just wanted to see how you were doing", she lied with a smile. Lucas squinted his eyes in the way she loved, but slowly nodded his head.

"I think he needs a bottle", she spoke softly.

"You're probably right", he said honestly. She smiled and grabbed his free hand.

"Lets feed our boy", they both grinned and walked into the hallway.

"So, it's Sunday, what do you want to do today?" Lucas asked as they walked down the stairs.

"Mmm", she sighed and leaned into his free side, his arm wrapped around her waist. "How about we go for a walk later? You, me, and Keith."

"That sounds good", he mused while they walked into the kitchen.

Brooke was at the kitchen table eating a bagel with her head in a Calculus book.

"Hey Momma Sawyer, Papa Scott", she greeted without lifting her head to look at them.

"Hey B. Davis."

That simple statement made the brunette's head snap up to face the blondes. She wasn't sure what it was, but the tone of Peyton's voice intrigued her. The sight before her intrigued her even more.

"What's this?" she asked with a smile. Lucas stared over at Peyton and smiled brightly.

"This is something more", Brooke smiled and nodded at Lucas. Peyton looked on curiously.

"Are you guys seriously having a moment?" she asked incredulously.

"Oh hush", Brooke waved her off. "So, sit, tell me what's going on."

Lucas walked to the refrigerator for a bottle and Peyton took a seat.

"We're together and we're happy and we're in it for the long haul", the blonde spoke to her best friend.

"I'm happy for you", Brooke said sincerely. Peyton winked and Lucas took his seat.

"What's got Brooke Davis up this early on a Sunday morning?" Lucas teased as Keith sucked his bottle.

She rolled her eyes. "Stupid Calculus", she muttered as she closed the book with a slam.

"Oh school", Peyton thought aloud. Brooke and Lucas stared at her with furrowed brows.

"Are you ever coming back?"

"Yes Brooke, I'll be back tomorrow."

"Really", Lucas said with genuine surprise.

"Well, the week after Keith was born it was spring break so we had off for the week. I'm up to date with all my work because Turner made me take extra classes, so I took last week off. We only have like a month left so I think I should go back sometime", she said sadly while looking at her small son.

"He'll be fine, Peyton", Lucas assured once he saw the melancholy in her eyes.

"I just feel weird; he hasn't been left with a stranger—"

"It's not some stranger, it's my mom", Lucas reminded her with a chuckle.

Peyton shoulders slumped. "I know! I just, he's so cute", she whined adorably; well Lucas thought it was adorable. Brooke smirked.

"Is someone going through mommy withdrawals?" she quipped.

Peyton scowled and Lucas sent Brooke a hard glare. They both knew how Peyton's post birth hormones had been. One second she was laughing and carefree. The next she would be angry at the world.

Little comments like that set her off.

Brooke opened her mouth, but Lucas cut her off. "Here, take Keith up and you both get ready for our walk", he stood and handed the baby off. Peyton smiled, kissed his cheek, glared at Brooke, and walked towards the stairs.

"Thanks a lot", he muttered.

"Sorry, I didn't think it was still that bad", she said truthfully.

"This is going to be a great walk", he mumbled sarcastically as he went to get changed.

------------------------------

"You know, I may be biased, but I think we have the cutest son ever", Peyton said happily as she and Lucas strolled down the sidewalk, each with one hand on Keith's carriage.

The walk hadn't been all that bad. She had complained at first about Brooke and how insensitive she was. Lucas nodded at all the right moments and eventually she got the hint. They had walked through most of Tree Hill. They went to his mother's café. They checked in TRIC because Peyton hadn't been there in a while. They walked to the Rivercourt and Lucas held Keith as he explained the significance of this blacktop.

All in all, they were having a great family day.

Lucas pretended to think and then peered down at a sleeping Keith. "I think you're right", he said with a head nod. Peyton giggled and immediately blushed.

"I love when you do that", Lucas said with a smirk. Peyton raised a brow.

"Get embarrassed?" she asked with slight southern twang that he loved.

"No, giggle."

"Well, I love that you are the only one that makes me do that", she whispered into the warm May air.

"I love you", he stopped walking and faced the blonde. He never got tired of saying those words.

She closed her eyes and smiled. She let them soak into her skin. She knew she would never get tired of those words.

"I love you too", she leaned forward and kissed him. The kiss was quick and innocent. Not nearly filled with the hunger that it could have been, but for now it would have to do. They were on Main Street. With their child in a stroller. Needless to say, it wasn't the best place to start a make out session.

"Mmm, I missed that", Lucas spoke as they broke apart. He watched as she kept her eyes closed for another moment longer. They fluttered open and her green eyes were filled with passion.

"I missed that too", her voice was thick and it sent shivers down his spine. He quickly cleared his throat and turned to continue walking.

"So, prom is in two weeks. Are we excited?" he asked with a grin. Peyton showed her excitement by groaning and shaking her head.

"I don't even want to think about that. I have all this baby weight to lose and I hardly feel sexy enough to be out all night dancing and I don't even have a dress . . ."

Lucas cut her ramblings off with a kiss.

"You are gorgeous babe. Sexy as hell and if you don't feel like dancing – or walking – I'll carry you around the entire night."

"Now see, its things like that that make you the best boyfriend ever", she grabbed onto his collar and pecked his lips quickly.

"I do what I can", he said simply as he shrugged. Keith started to cry and Peyton instantly furrowed her brows.

"I think he's hungry", she spoke with uncertainty.

"Nah, he just wants his daddy to hold him", he cooed as he put the brakes on and kneeled down to unbuckle the infant.

Seeing him handle Keith with such elegance made her want to kiss him again and again and again. The second he picked the child up the crying stop. It brought Peyton back to the one sided conversation she overheard earlier.

"For the record . . . I never doubted you."

------------------------------

Brooke sat in the living room with the phone curled in her hands. They hadn't talked in a while, she had been busy and she imagined he was too. Lucas and Peyton had left a while ago with Keith and she needed a break from Calculus. Seeing the two blondes with their blonde offspring gave her a longing feeling she hadn't experienced. She was longing for something she had never really thought of before. A family.

Her own family.

She dialed the number she knew by heart and listened as it rang. Once, twice, three times, until finally the voicemail picked up. The beep ended and she did as the message instructed.

"Hey, it's me . . . umm; I was just calling to see how things were. I know you're probably busy, but I just wanted to talk. I miss you. I miss talking to you. It's weird because I've never missed another person. Not even my parents or Peyton when she went to visit her Aunt in Virginia one summer. I like having a friend like you and I like that we talk so easily. I know I'm rambling and I'm sorry for that, I just feel lonely and talking to you helps me not be lonely, I guess. I'll talk to you soon."

She ended the call with a sigh. She couldn't pin point her feelings right now, but she knew that she really liked talking to him. He made her laugh and she felt smart when she voiced her opinions. Things were good when she talked to him. She felt genuinely happy. It didn't matter that he was miles and hours away. Right? She looked around the empty house and bit her lip.

She knew things would be better if he was here.

And I know that it's a wonderful world

But I can't feel it right now

Well I thought that I was doing well

But I just want to cry now

Well I know that it's a wonderful world

From the sky down to the sea

But I can only see it when you're here, here with me
