Rucas

Rachel and Lucas walked around the house in Tree Hill. They loved it, it was perfect and they couldn't wait to make it home. The house was a two-story house with four bedrooms upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs, one of them is the master bedroom. All the rooms had a lot of space with their own restroom attached to it. A ½ bath downstairs, an open floor plan, with a pool and playground for the kids and a basketball court. It was good for the Scotts, with it being right across the street from Naley house was much better and it was right down the street from the beach. One Scott still wasn't sure this was a move that he wanted to happen, but apparently it needed to be done.

"They're going to love it Luke" Rachel said to Lucas before hugging him.

"Well let's hope so" Lucas said a little unsure. It wasn't the house he was unsure about it was the whole thing about moving back to Tree Hill. "You sure moving back to Tree Hill is a good thing?" he asked the girl in his arms.

"I don't know, I mean it would be nice for the kids, but then again after that happen the last time we were all here. I'm pretty sure you miss your brother and Haley and that godson of yours, so this will be good for you," Rachel stated and Lucas nodded his head at her statement.

"Yeah I really think the kids would like it here, I just I don't know if it's good for them. They spent their whole life in New York and now I moving them from the only home they know, and what about you." He says defeated.

"Hey look at me," she said with all seriousness in her voice raising his head so their eyes meet. "They love you and yes, it will be hard at the beginning, but they will adjust, we all will adjust. You hear me?" she asked and he nods his head. "Now get out of the gloom, we have to go furniture shopping so this house can be livable by the time they get here." He smirks at her then start dragging her from the room laughing.

"We will take it," Lucas told the realtor when he ran into her.

"Good! Well can you come fill out the paperwork and sign it and the place is all yours." She replied. Lucas left Rachel to explore more of the house and was glad they had actually found a house that they can agree on.


Braley

Brooke picked up the phone and dialed a number she thought she had long forgotten and cursed herself for letting so many years passed by without talking to the girl she once called her best friend. She was always scared that Haley wouldn't forgive her for how things is because it was her fault they relationship was so strained. The phone begun to ring causing her thoughts to drift away and then she heard a voice she haven't heard in 5 years.

"Hello Scott Residence," Brooke froze, not knowing what to do or how to react. "Hello" the voice said, getting irritated. "Okay, I'm hanging up…"

"Haley" Brooke whispered into the phone finally catching her bearings.

"Brooke!" Haley said excitedly. "OMG Tiger I missed you," she yelled into the phone at her best friend.

"I missed you too Tutor mom" Brooke releasing a breath she didn't know she was holding. "How have you been?"

"I've been good Tig, I really missed you though. How have you been?" Haley asked.

"I've been busy with the company and my personal life has been an emotional roller-coaster over the years, but it has finally mellowed and I'm happy. How is Hotshot and that handsome godson of mine?" she asked with her dimples showing.

"They are good, Nathan is still playing for the Bobcats and is here every chance he gets and Jamie is about to turn 6 in a few weeks and he looks just like Lucas for some odd reason." Haley laughed.

"Tutor-Girl are you trying to tell me something?" Brooke laughed.

"Ha-Ha yeah that's just gross on so many levels Brooke, I can't even think of him in that way." Haley grimaced at the image. "So Tigger, when are you coming home for a visit."

"Well that's why I'm calling, I will be there at the end of the week," Brooke paused, taking a deep breath "for good."

Haley squealed into the phone "Brooke that is great, I was just telling Nathan about how much I missed you and wanted Jamie to meet you. I mean the gifts over the years were great but I am glad I get to see my best friend in person. I'm glad everyone is finally coming home." Haley finished her rambling.

"Everyone?" Brooke asked not for sure she was ready to see a certain blonde that she haven't seen or talked to in over 5 years.

"Yeah, I mean I don't know about Mouth and Peyton but everyone else should be on the river court this Saturday." Haley replied.

"Well Rachel, Mouth, and I will be there. I can't wait to see you again Hales," Brooke said.

"Ugh Rachel, if she must come, but I can't wait to see you too Brooke." Haley replied. "So anyone special in your life." She asked after a long pause.

"Be nice," just then there was a knock at the door. "Hold on hales." I said into the phone covering the receiver. "Come in" I said the person on the other side of the door. The door opened to reveal Mouth holding a boy with three girls not far behind.

"Mommy" "Aunt Brooke" the girls yelled, running up to her.

"Hey my little munchkins, y'all ready for lunch." She asked, while giving them all a hug.

"Yes" they all chorused at the same time.

"Okay hold on," she told them as she returned to the phone call, "Hey Hales, I got to go, I will talk to you later."

"Well okay but we still have to talk. Bye Tigger." Haley said reluctantly.

"Bye Tutor-Mom," Brooke said, hanging up the phone before turning to the kids. "So who is ready to go?"

"Me." they all replied as they ran out of the office. Brooke grabbed her purse and hooked her arm through Mouth's and she went to have lunch with her family.
