A/N: And I have an update for you all. I'm really glad I got this out there. College has been kicking my ass and it's only the second week and I missed class today because my phone was on vibrate so I slept through my damn alarm. I haven't really been happy today.
This story will again be updated in about two weeks.
Chapter Nineteen: Brunch
"Do you really think this is a good idea?" the blonde haired woman says in the passenger seat of the car.
"They don't own Tree Hill. I can step foot in it any time that I want and that's what I am going to do."
"Yeah, but couldn't things get a little crazy. I mean I would assume everyone hates you right now. You gave up your daughter Lucas."
Lucas takes his eyes off of the road for a few seconds to looks at Lindsey.
"Linds, I love you okay. I divorced Peyton and Sawyer is her daughter. Sawyer can be hers and Brooke's for all I care. That's why I gave her up."
"I don't know how I would feel if you gave up Keith," Lindsey says as she turns her head around to the baby in the backseat. Her little boy, Keith Andrew Scott was sleeping soundly wrapped up in his blanket. "I don't think I could survive that."
"It's a good thing that you don't have to," Lucas says as he grabs Lindsey's hand. He smiled at the ring on Lindsey's finger. Hopefully this trip would mean good things.
-Complications of the Heart-
Aria had joined Sam's for a family brunch. It was a good thing too because Aria hadn't had time to grocery shop so she was currently foodless in her home. Later in the day she was going to shop.
"How are things going with school, Aria?" Peyton questions as she places plates and bowls of food on the table.
"Things are great with me. I'm keeping my GPA up and playing basketball is my stress reliever. I couldn't be happier."
"I'm happy to hear that. Our girl here needs a smart chick to date," Peyton says with a grin as she looks at Sam who blushes. Both Sawyer and Brooke laugh at Sam's reaction.
"Baby, sit down and eat," Brooke orders with a small smile.
Peyton listens to her girl and takes a seat next to her daughter.
"It's good momma," Sawyer says with a grin. Some of her jelly from her toast had ended up on her cheek.
"Thank you, baby, but your aunt Brooke helped too," Peyton says with an impish grin as she throws a wink at Brooke.
Brooke smiles into her glass. They had first attempted to make breakfast early in the morning, but other activities lead them to spend most of their morning in the bedroom instead of in the kitchen fixing breakfast.
Both Aria and Sam look at Brooke and Peyton's not so secretive looks and they both blush. That was a little too weird to be thinking about at the moment. Or ever!
"Enough about this please. Can we get back to breakfast or brunch or whatever this is," Sam says with a slight laugh.
"It's okay Sammy, momma and mommy are funny."
Everyone at the table froze at Sawyer's words. This was the first time that Sawyer had called Brooke anything other than Aunt Brooke. Peyton looked up at Brooke had small tears in her eyes. No one knew what to say or do. They all sat frozen.
Sawyer looked around at the table and then she turned to Brooke. She had tears and Sawyer didn't like that at all. She got out of her chair and crawled into Brooke's lap. Brooke wrapped her arms around the small girl.
"I won't call you that no more. You cry. I don't like when you cry. I sorry Aunt Brooke."
Brooke looks guilty down at Sawyer. Brooke looks at Peyton who smiles and nods her head indicating that she was going to go with anything she said.
"Sawyer, baby, its okay, sweetie. You caught me off guard. That was the first time you called me mommy."
Sawyer sniffles and nods her head.
"You're my otter momma, cept I call momma, momma so I gots to call you mommy. You do all things momma does. You feed me and read me stories and tuck me in and scare all da monsters away. I love you and I want you ta be my mommy."
"I'd love to be your mommy," Brooke says with a watery smile. "I love you sweetheart."
Brooke leans down and kisses Sawyer on the forehead. Peyton secretly wipes the tears from her eyes.
"Let's finish eating, shall we?"
Under the table Sam and Aria gripped their hands tighter.
-Complications of the Heart-
Nathan opened his front door and instantly frowned at what he saw. Lucas was standing their holding Lindsey's hand and Lindsey was holding baby Keith in his carrier.
"Hey Bro. Mind if we come in?"
Normally Nathan would have slammed the door in his brother's face, but considering Lindsey and a baby was with him he thought otherwise. He begrudgingly let his older brother in. Nathan was glad that Haley and Jamie were out having a mother son day because Haley would be furious with what she sees.
"What do you want Lucas?" Nathan says as he enters his kitchen.
"I just wanted to introduce you to my son Keith."
Nathan looks at the baby and smiles inwardly. He was cute, but he couldn't say anything to Lucas about it.
"Yeah, you also have a daughter you gave up. Her name is Sawyer, do you remember her?"
"Nathan, I don't expect you to understand why I did what I did."
"You're right. I don't. By doing what you did you became the one man we all hate," Nathan looks at Lindsey who was attending to the baby. "Look, Lucas, coming here is going to ruin the normality that Brooke and Peyton have set up for their family. Just go back to New York and don't show up here again. I'm glad you have a son, but you once a daughter. You can't make that up to somebody."
Lucas nods his head.
"Are they okay?"
"Peyton and Brooke are dating and Sam is getting better and Sawyer is happy. Leave them alone."
Nathan walked Lucas and his new family out the door hoping that they never come back, but who was he kidding. He lived in Tree Hill. Drama is what they are known for.
