A/N: This should've been up yesterday, but I am currently a volunteer for a program this summer so my hours are kind of wacky. I was just so tired to write yesterday…So, here is what I have been thinking and this is only for the next three months or so, but I was thinking that if you don't see an update for any one of my stories on the day they are supposed to be updated then expect to see one on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. That way I don't have to skip a week, you just have to wait a few days.

The poll results are in and I will be telling you guys the results of the poll.

Here is the order that I will be writing these stories…D, B, E, C, A

D=29 Votes, B=25 Votes, E=21 Votes, C=14 Votes, A=10 Votes

Chapter Fifteen: Declaration

It had been a few weeks since Sawyer had caught Brooke and Peyton kissing on the couch. It had also been a few weeks since Sawyer and Peyton moved into the Davis home. Sam was slowly healing, and slowly picking up details about the attack, but nothing serious had come about it.

Sam had still not been in school so Aria made it a point for her to grab Sam's homework and things so that she could spend her nights helping Sam get caught up. She loved spending time with Sam.

Brooke was a little nervous the moment that Sawyer and Peyton stepped into the house with their things, but eventually the nervousness disappeared and she realized that she loved having Peyton be there with her.

They all quickly fell into a routine. Breakfast was at seven every morning. Either Peyton or Brooke would make it. Peyton would try and get her studio back up and running while Brooke went to the store to work. Sam and Sawyer would be bounced between Peyton and Brooke at their jobs since Sawyer wasn't in school yet and Sam wasn't ready to be in school yet. Brooke smiled every morning because with breakfast she got a quick peck from Peyton and that jump started her day to the extreme.

Today, Sawyer and Sam were with Peyton at her studio. Brooke said she had to do some things and that Sawyer and Sam would be bored the entire time.

Peyton was busy on the phone while Sam and Sawyer played a card game on the floor of Peyton's office.

"Do you have any threes?" Sam asks as she looks down at the cards in her hands. Sam glanced over her cards and smiled at Sawyer's concentration. She had her tongue peeking out between her lips as she looked at her cards.

"Go fish," Sawyer states with a smile.

Sam grabs a card from the pile and puts it in her hand.

Peyton looks at the two girls sitting on the floor and she smiles. She loved having those two girls in her life.

"No, Red Bedroom Records…yes, I am planning to open it back up…Look, All I'm trying to do is get some artists to play…Thanks again…alright bye."

Peyton hangs up the phone and sighs.

"What's up?"

"I might not be able to run Red Bedroom again, but its okay. I'll figure something out."

"Sammy, I want a four," Sawyer cries.

Sam looks at her cards and smiles as she hands over her four to Sawyer. Sawyer grabs the card and slams her last card down on the floor.

"I win…I win," Sawyer cries out as she runs to her momma. "I won momma. I won."

Peyton grabs her daughter and settles her on her lap.

"That's great baby. I'm proud of you."

Sam starts cleaning up the cards and settles down on the couch with her eyes closed. Sawyer looks away from her mom to Sam and then back to her mom.

"Sammy's sleeping," Sawyer says with a whisper. "She tired momma."

Peyton looks over to a sleeping Sam on the couch and smiles slightly.

"She's tired, baby. Why don't you go lay down next to Sam. You should be taking a nap now anyway."

-Complications of the Heart-

Nathan looked at his friend in confusion.

"Why exactly are you talking about this with me?" Nathan asks as he quirks an eyebrow.

"Haley is working and I obviously can't talk to Peyton about this."

Nathan nods his head.

"This is the way I see it Brooke. Actually this is the way I've seen it since high school. If you love Peyton, then show her, tell her. Nothing is standing in your way anymore. Peyton has already started the divorce papers and Lucas being the ass that he is gave his rights away. Claim your woman Brooke."

Brooke groans and sits down next to her friend.

"I'm afraid to get hurt again," Brooke admits. "I'm afraid that I'll get into it too quickly and the rug will get pulled out from under me just like before."

"But isn't it worth the risk if the results is Peyton and a real family?"

Hearing Nathan's words made Brooke think about the future. She honestly could see herself and Peyton together with their two children and even possibly another child along the way.

"Look, Brooke, I get the heartbreak thing okay? Remember junior year when Haley went on tour. I was heartbroken and everyone kept telling me to give Haley another chance, that she loves me and it's enough, but what they didn't realize is, was that I needed to come to that conclusion by myself and I did and the payout was amazing. Now it's your turn."

Brooke turned her gaze back to her best friend.

"Has anyone ever told you that you are one smart guy?" Brooke asks with a grin.

"Haley tells me sometimes, but it's nice to hear it from somebody other than my wife."

-Complications of the Heart-

Peyton looks up from her computer when she hears the clacking of heels against the floor. She smiles when she spots Brooke walking her way. She was even more surprised when Brooke straddled her lap and places her arms on her shoulders. Peyton rests her hands on Brooke's thighs.

"Not that I'm not enjoying this, but what's gotten into you?"

"I just realized a few things is all and one of them is that I'm totally irrevocable in love you Peyton Sawyer and I know I'll be that way for the rest of my life."

"If it's at all possible, I think I just feel in love with you even more."

Brooke turns her head and spots Sam and Sawyer still sleeping. She turns back to Peyton with a smile. They lock eyes and Peyton grins.

"Are you going to just stare at me or are you going to kiss me?" Peyton asks Brooke.

And kissed her she did.
