Peyton sighed as she saw the passenger's pass and sighed as she saw the number of people waiting for people to come and get their loved one. She sort of felt out of place, compared to all these lovey dovey happy couples that were kissing and reuniting in the airport. She longed for that, someone to cause shivers through her spine, someone to comfort her and Kaylee when things went wrong or after a stressful day at work. She longed for a man that would make her and Kaylee feel safe, secure and protected. Her mind drifted to one person that would make her feel that way and she sighed. She needed to stop thinking about him, she didn't come back for him at least that's what she kept telling herself but her heart was being a worthless bitch and thought otherwise.

"Hello were you even listening to me!" Brooke's angry voice shot through her mind and parted her thoughts. She looked at the short brunette that had her hands on her hips and a raised eyebrow. She shook her head.

"Sorry, did you say something?" Brooke sighed.

"You know what forget it." Peyton could only shrug, she looked around the airport.

"Who's supposed to pick us up, again?" Brooke Grinned, her dimpled smile lighting up the airport and her teeth flashing.

"Naley." Peyton rolled her eyes.

"You know, you have a real knack for finding weird nicknames." Brooke smiled.

"And don't you forget it, besides you love my nicknames." Peyton could only smile as she gave Brooke a one armed hug. She was grateful for her best friend.

She looked down at the beautiful sleeping body in her arms and sighed. She hoped to god that nothing ever came between her and her little baby. This baby was her life, her saving grace, the person that lit up a smile from her face whenever she felt down; Kaylee Anne Scott was a blessing in disguise, an angel and for that she couldn't be happier.

"I can't believe she's grown that quickly- I mean I remember when I held your hand after you yelled for 10 hours and she popped herself out of your umbilical cord." Peyton laughed.

"You've always been there for me, Brooke; someday I'm gonna repay you." Brooke waved her off with a hand.

"You're my Bestestfriend Mama Sawyer, and I love you. Hoe's over Bro's, remember?" I laughed.

"You mean Hoe's over Psycho's." I said as I remembered the second attack from Ian or Derek- whatever the hell his name was and how Brooke saved me from him. That night held many memories for me but the one that stuck out was Brooke and I's friendship restored that day and it's been growing since. Brooke smiled sadly.

"I was so scared that day P, I swear I would've had a heart attack if it wasn't for the fact that my head was made up on saving you." Peyton could feel tears coming into her eyes and cursed herself when she had realized when she had become a girl.

"I love you Brookie," Brooke grinned as she gave me a one armed hug.

"I love you too Mama Sawyer." she grinned as an after thought.

"As long as you never call me Brookie ever again." Peyton Grinned holding onto her tightly.

"Deal."

A figure slowly made their way towards the 2 girls with the sleeping 3 year old and smirked.

"Sorry to ruin your moment." And as the girls lifted their heads up Peyton could only gasp.


Nate smiled as he heard his best friend gasp. He figured he should be mad, angry, furious even that his so called best friend hadn't even the nerve to contact him over the years they've been apart and had completely gone MIA on their ass but as he looked at the blonde in front of him that had developed into one stunning lady, he knew all emotions of hurt and fury had been thrown out the window. These two were what made Tree Hill complete, he had missed them greatly and he wasn't about to pass up the opportunity to reconnect with them once again.

"Well, Well, Well, if it isn't tutor husband." Nathan smirked at Brooke only to grin as Peyton launched himself into his arms.

"Nate!" Nate grinned; his arms immediately formed a position around his best friends waist.

"Sawyer, how've you been?" Peyton sniffed.

"I've missed you." Nate grinned.

"I've missed you too, Sawyer." Brooke pouted.

"You know, you have a way of making me feel left out and Brooke Davis should never feel left out." The two best friends shared an eye roll as they pulled the pouty brunette into a tight hug.

"Ok, girlies hands off my husband." Peyton and Brooke looked at each other before bursting out in laughter at the married woman who held a playful smile on her face.

"Well, Look's like Hales over here is claiming her mark, the horror!" Haley laughed as she hugged the petite curly haired blonde.

"How've you been Peyton?" Peyton smiled.

"It's been hard for a while; I've really missed this place and all the people in it." Said the blonde with a smile as she hugged the brunette once again.

"We've missed you girls too, Peyton."

"Tutor wife!" Haley grinned as Brooke launched herself into her arms like a petulant little child, only to be smacked upside the head.

"Ow!" Brooke glared.

"Where's my godson!? You didn't forget him all by himself did you!?" Haley laughed.

"No. Luke's taking care of him." She instantly regretted it when she caught the pained look on Peyton's face at the mentioning's of her ex-boyfriend.

"Sorry." She directed to the blonde, the blonde instantly shook her head , an empty patch on her heart growing while Brooke pouted.

"Tutor Girl I wanted to Introduce Jamie to Kaylee!" She instantly regretted the words that came out of her mouth as she clasped her hand over her mouth, her eyes wide. It was then that Nathan and Haley noticed the sleeping body in Peyton's arms and the glare that Peyton shot Brooke followed by the sheepish grin Brooke gave her best friend. It was confirmed when the sleeping body shifted and looked at her mother with sleepy eyes.

"Momma?" Peyton kissed her daughter's forehead.

"Go to sleep, baby." The girl could only nod as she fell back asleep and the married couple could feel their eyes widened.

"Her eyes are exactly like-"Haley decided to finished the sentence her husband trailed off with, mesmerized by the three year olds beauty.

"Luke's."


Lindsay sighed as she looked at Luke. He had just told her that his two exgirlfriends were coming back to tree hill and the news was still seeping into her brain. She sat back in her seat in shock. His ex-girlfriends were gorgeous, beyond Gorgeous and one in particular which goes by the name Peyton Sawyer was once a girl that held the key to his heart. She had read his book and to tell you the truth right now, if anyone were to ask if she felt threatened she would nod her head and say definitely.

"Lindsay?" Lindsay sighed as she looked up at him and looked deeply into his blue serious eyes that she loved so much.

"Lucas, Should I be worried about us?" Lucas furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"No, why?" Lindsay gave him a disbelieving stare.

"Lucas, two of your ex-girlfriends are coming back for good. You used to be in love with one of them, deeply in love. "She sighed. " Should I be worried about us?"

"Lindsay, what happened between Brooke and I is way in the past and as for Peyton. We're over, have been for a long time. I love you, Lindsay. Only you."

"You wrote a whole book about her, Luke! How am I supposed to compete with that!?"" Lucas sighed as he took the girl in his arms.

"Lindsay, listen to me." He looked into those expressive brown eyes of hers and instantly had a reverie of green emerald eyes staring back at her before shooting the thought away.

"Yes, Peyton and I had a past. Yes, once upon a time I was in love with her but you have to remember the key point here. I'm with you, not Brooke, not Peyton- you. I love you and Peyton and Brooke's return isn't gonna salvage that- this is long term baby." Lindsay smiled at him, before dipping his head down and kissing him full of passion. She knew he loved her and knew that he would never want to hurt her, it was just the throb of emotion that kept playing at her, kept pushing up against her; that deep feeling of something going wrong was one too strong that she couldn't ignore. She only hoped that her doubt was wrong and nothing would injure the happiness she felt with her dearly beloved.

"Eew! Uncle Luke! That's worse then Momma and Poppa!" Shrieked Jamie as he looked down at them in disgust and Lucas could only laugh as he carried the boy in his arms.

"Let's go home, Jim-jam." Answered the blonde with a smile and as Lucas held on to her and Jamie's hand, she nodded. She could believe it, so why didn't she?
