Episode 9 Chapter 2 Love Winter and Death

"Hey guys," Lily said as she opened the door.

Summer and Jamie were standing in front of her. Jamie was holding Landon in his carrier, and Drew was standing next to Summer.

"Aunt Willy," Drew jumped in her arms and gave her a big hug. "Where wis Anwee and Scott and Scarwett?"'

"They are playing in Scarlett's room."

Drew jumped down. "Mommy I'm going to find them…otay?"

"Otay," Summer smiled.

Drew ran off.

"That boy is too cute."

"I love that he calls you Willy," Jamie laughed.

"Haha," Lily gave him a look. "Let me have this little boy." Lily took Landon. "This kid is pretty cute." Lily kissed his forehead.

"Where's Spencer?" Jamie asked.

"He's in the kitchen. He is cooking us a five course meal."

"I'll join him." Jamie walked off.

Lily smiled, "You guys look pretty happy."

Summer smiled. "That's because we are." Summer didn't know how it happened, but it did. She had finally found away to be happy again.

…..

Breanne opens the door. Jeremy kisses her. "You are so beautiful."

"What are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to see you, and I thought we were going to have dinner."

"Well we were, but Carter decided to stay home. And I think it would be weird for him."

"We are going to have to tell him eventually."

"I am not telling my son that I am sleeping with you."

"I meant the fact that we are dating."

"We're not dating," Breanne reminded him.

"We will be soon enough." Jeremy smiles and then kisses her.

"STOP," Carter screamed. "Don't kiss my mommy." With that said he runs upstairs, and Breanne drops her head.

….

Daniel walks into his mom's house holding Emma.

"Daniel…"

"We wanted to see grandma." He smiled.

"She's so beautiful." Michelle took Emma in her arms. "What is she doing with you?"

"I'm her dad, and tonight is the first night that she gets to stay with me...She's going to start staying with me. We want to get her adjusted to the fact that she is my daughter."

"Have you gotten adjusted to that fact yet?"

Daniel nodded, "I'm happy that everyone knows the truth now."

Michelle smiled. "She looks like you."

"I think so too. It's all crazy you know. I never thought that I would ever be able to call her my daughter in public. It feels really good…although I'm still a little hesitant…I don't know how it makes Noah feel."

"You and Noah are going to have to learn how to raise Emma together…You are both her fathers."

"I just hope I can make her proud."

"I think Emma is going to love you. Daniel, sweetheart, she already loves you."

Daniel smiled. He really loved her.

…

"Grandpa Larry has arrived," Larry laughed as he walked into Lucas and Peyton's house.

"Thank goodness." Lucas looked tired.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine." Lucas lied. "I need to go get ready. Can you take Zander?"

"Of course…come here little man."

"Thanks…and thanks for doing this."

"No problem." Larry watched as Lucas walked upstairs. He looked exhausted, and Larry could tell that something was definitely bothering him.

…..

Brooke is sitting on the couch. Nathan walks over and wraps his arms around her. "Hi babe," she kisses his cheek. "How are you feeling?"

"I miss my little girl."

"Have you called her yet?"

"No," Nathan sighed. "I want her to call me first…which will probably never happen."

"It will Nathan…Don't worry…She will call you."

"I sure hope so." He kissed her forehead. "Have you tried looking for Chase's twin?"

"I think I know where he might be…it is just a matter of flying there."

"Do you still want too?"

"He won't be Chase."

"No but he is Chase's brother."

"You still think that it is a good idea to find him?"

Nathan nodded his head. "I think you need to find him. He might not be Chase, but he should know that he had a brother."

Brooke rested her head on his chest. "I guess I'm just scared."

"You don't have to be scared Brooke…..I'll be there for you every step of the way."

….

Clare is sitting on her bed looking at a magazine.

Andy knocks on the door and walks in. "What are you doing sitting on the bed? You should be getting ready for the dance."

"I'm not going. Smith isn't here, and I don't want to go without him."

"You have to go Clare."

"I'm sorry but that's not going to happen."

"Dang," Smith walked into the room. "I got all dressed up for nothing."

"Smith," she was shocked.

"Hi baby…I missed you so much."

"I'm so glad that you are here."

He kissed her. "I don't want to be anywhere else."

"Dad, did you do this?"

Andy smiled.

"Thank you," she hugged him. "Oh my God I have to find something to wear…and I'm not even close to being ready."

"Here," Smith handed her a bag. "I think you will look great in this."

"You bought me a dress?"

He kissed her. "I would do anything for you."

All her dreams were coming true.

…

McKenzie opens the door to see Mark.

"Oh my God…You are absolutely beautiful." He kissed her cheek.

"Thanks…you look good too."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine…I'm excited." But she didn't seem excited.

Her phone rang, "Hello…"

"Hey sweetheart," it was Grace. "I'm sorry I didn't make it in time to see you leave."

"It's okay mom. That's not a big deal at all."

"You better take a lot of pictures."

"I will mom."

"I know you and Mark are going to look great together."

"Yeah," McKenzie sighed.

"I love you sweetheart."

"I love you too mom…I can't wait to see you."

"Goodbye sweetheart."

"Goodbye mom…"

"When will your mom be home?"

"She should be home in a few hours. I really have missed her."

"Well we will take a lot of pictures, and you can spend the whole day with her tomorrow."

"Yeah I can't wait."

"Shall we go," He extended his hand.

"Yeah lets go."

…..

Jason pulled up into Rebecca's driveway. "Maybe Rita gave me the wrong address." He spoke to himself. "She can't live here." He got out of the car and walked to the door.

"Jason," Rebecca answered the door. "What are you doing here?"

"I…I…"

"Jason," Rita walked downstairs.

"Rita," he was surprised…

"You are Rita's date?" Rebecca was really surprised.

"Yeah…"

"Do you guys know each other?"

"No," they said at the same time.

"I'm ready if you are Jason."

"I'm definitely ready." Jason took her hand and looked at Rebecca.

They walked outside. "She's not your mom is she?"

"No…" Rita laughed. "She's my sister…She's pretty amazing."

"Yeah…"

"Are you okay? You seem like you have just seen a ghost or something."

"No I'm okay…You look amazing."

"Well I have to look good to be your date." She kissed his cheek.

….

Ellie and Riley are sitting in the school parking lot. She kisses him passionately.

"What has gotten into you?" Riley laughed.

"I just want tonight to be special."

"It already is because I'm with you." He kisses her again. "Have you been drinking?"

"I just had a sip…no big deal…Like I said tonight is going to be fun."

…

Peyton walked downstairs. "Hi daddy…"

"Wow…you are absolutely beautiful."

"Thanks old man…." She walked over and hugged him. "Thanks for watching the kids for us tonight."

"Like I told Lucas it is no problem at all." Larry sighed, "Actually Peyton I think you and Lucas need to talk."

"We did talk dad. Why do you think we need to talk?"

"He looks miserable."

"My husband is not miserable."

"I think you should talk again." Larry hated getting in the middle of things.

"Hey guys," Lucas walked downstairs. "Wow Peyt you look fantastic."

Peyton looked at her father and then walked over to her husband. "Thank you husband." She kisses him. Her husband was fine.

…

Elizabeth was standing in Emma's nursery.

Noah joined her. "You miss her too."

"Yeah…I feel like she has been gone forever."

"At least she is with my brother…He is going to take good care of her." Noah touched her hand.

"Noah…do you really forgive me for what I did?"

"I love you Elizabeth, and although I don't agree with how you handle the whole situation, I forgive you because I love you…and I know that we are supposed to be together…when I close my eyes you and Emma are all that I see." He kisses her. "You are my life Elizabeth…I'm just glad that Emma has my blood in her. She will always be apart of me."

"Me too…" Elizabeth kissed him again. "Can we start practicing?"

"For what?"

"I think we should have a baby."

"Elizabeth, we don't have to have a child. You are not going to lose me."

"I want to have a baby with you….You are a wonderful father, and I want to have a child with you."

"I want to have a baby with you too." He kisses her again and leads her to their bedroom.

…..

Okay so I know some of you are surprised with the way Noah is handling things. Just remember that it has been three weeks, and he is slowly moving past it. If he is going to make things work with Elizabeth he has to let it go. And he really does love her.

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Not too many more to go and this part will be finished.
