Episode 2 Ch.2 It's My Party

Brooke is still staring at Nathan. She hadn't seen him in over a month. "Daddy I'm so happy you are home." Sophie told him as he picked her up.

"I'm really happy to see you. I'm happy to see both of you." He looked at Sophie and Millie.

"Dad you have to talk to Brooke. She is being unreasonable."

Nathan looked at Brooke, and she threw her hands in the air. "It is nonnegotiable Millie. I don't care who talks to me."

"Argh…" Millie gave Brooke an evil look.

"Why don't the two of you go upstairs? I need to talk to your dad."

"Fine," Millie grabbed Sophie's hand. "Let's go Sophie Beth."

"Daddy please don't leave." Sophie begged.

Nathan smiled. "I'll be here when you come back down."

The girls walked out of sight.

"If only it was that easy?"

"What?" Nathan turned and looked at Brooke.

"Don't make promises that you can't keep."

"I plan on keeping that one. I'm gonna be here for a few days."

"Shocking…"

The mood in the air was unbelievably cold and harsh.

"Could we not fight?"

Brooke rolled her eyes. "I'm glad you missed the girls."

"Brooke…"

"It doesn't matter."

Nathan decided to change the subject. "Where's Hunter?"

"He's at his apartment."

"I thought he moved back home."

"He isn't moving back home. He intends on raising his child."

"That's so stupid. He is only sixteen."

Brooke started to argue but she heard a knock on the door, and Peyton walked in. "Hey…"

"What are you doing here?" Nathan snapped at her.

"It's good to see you to Nathan. I'm here to tell Brooke that Isabella called me."

"I haven't talked to her in a while."

"Well you need to go to New York."

"Why?"

"She was arrested last night, and she finally got the nerve to call someone."

"And she chose you."

"Yeah and I chose to tell you."

"I guess I better go." Brooke couldn't believe it. "I knew something like this would happen."

"I'll go with you Brooke." Nathan told her.

"No that's okay…I'll handle this…Besides you'll only be here for like two days…Your other children need you too."

Peyton could since the animosity. It wasn't good at all. "Nathan," Peyton looked at him as Brooke walked upstairs.

"What?"

"Do you remember when I was in a really low place? I couldn't figure out what I wanted, and you told me that we all had to grow up and make choices in our lives. We couldn't hide or run from our lives."

"I don't need a lecture."

"I wasn't lecturing you. I was just wondering if you remembered having that conversation with me."

"I remember."

"Okay good," with that said Peyton walked out of the house and Nathan was left a little confused.

Aidan and Lily walk into a three bedroom, two bathroom house with a living room, kitchen, and laundry room.

Aidan finally let's go of her eyes. "Surprise…"

Lily looked around, "What is this?"

"Your house," he smiled and led her to the back room. "This is going to be our room."

"Did you buy this house?"

"Yeah…It is ours."

Lily couldn't believe he bought a house without talking to her first.

"You bought my house." Lily couldn't believe that Spencer would do something like that for her.

"Yeah…Michelle helped me, but I love you, and I would do anything for you."

"This is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me." She kissed him.

"One day we're gonna live in the house together."

"I'm gonna hold you to that."

"Lily…Lily…"

"Oh sorry…"

"Aren't you excited? We can move in right away."

Lily nodded. "Yeah it's beautiful Aidan." She tried to pretend she was excited, and apart of her was. She loved Aidan and she always would. They were going to have a very good life together. She knew that they would.

Spencer is looking at pictures of Lily that he had on his computer. He thought that he had finally gotten her out of his mind, but then again he would never be able to get Lily out of his mind. She was his first love.

He felt a pair of hands touch his shoulders, and quickly closed the pictures. He turned around to see Julie smiling at him. "Hey…you…"

"Hey…"

"What's wrong?"

She was very observant, and she could always sense when something was bothering him.

"Do you want to go to a party tonight?"

"Yeah," she smiled. "What kind of party?" She sat in his lap.

"Peyton is throwing Lily a welcome home party."

"Lily," she knew exactly who he was talking about. "Wow the famous Lily is back in town?"

"Yeah…"

"That's incredible." She had heard a lot about Lily. "We have to go. I can't wait to meet her."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah…We can compare notes or something."

Spencer nodded. He was worried about seeing Lily again, and he was nervous. He never knew what to expect with her.

He stared at Julie. She was beautiful and exactly what he needed in his life. He leaned in and kissed her.

………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Elizabeth and Noah are lying in bed together. They decided to sleep in. "I've missed this so much." Noah told her.

"Yeah me too…."

"I still wish you would have told me."

"I know that, but I was scared Noah."

"Are you really going to give the child up for adoption?"

"I have too…this child would be a constant reminder of what happened to me."

"If you didn't want this child then why did you…"

"Shh…don't even say that word. I would never ever do that to any child no matter how they were conceived."

"That's why I have to believe that you love this baby, and I think it is going to be a lot harder for you to give him or her up than you think."

"This is what I have to do."

Noah shook his head. "If you want to keep the baby I'll stand right by your side. This could be our family."

Elizabeth didn't say anything. She had made her mind up, but Noah was convinced that he could change her mind.

He knew Elizabeth had a big heart, and she would love the child no matter what.

McKenzie walks downstairs to see her mom and the man she considered to be her father, Larry, sitting on the couch.

"Hey sweetheart," Grace smiled. "It is really good to have you home."

"Yeah it is good to be home." McKenzie walked over to the kitchen and grabbed some ice cream out of the freezer. "What are you guys looking at?"

"We've been looking at the adoptive parents." Larry told her. "It is very important that you make the right decision."

"I know that, and I will."

"Are you sure about this McKenzie?" Grace was afraid her daughter would regret her decision.

"Yes mom for the thousandth time I know this is what I want. I can't raise this baby, and I don't want the two of you to have to either. There are a lot of families out there that will love my child. I'm making the right decision."

"What about Hunter?"

"We talked to our lawyers. They think that we have a much better case than he does. I'm not worried." But she really was. She loved Hunter, and once she gave them baby up she was sure that he wouldn't want anything to do with her.

They heard a knock at the door, and McKenzie hobbled over to answer. It was Laura, her big sister. "Laura…"

"Hey baby sister….After we talked the other night I figured that you needed me."

"You were right," McKenzie hugs her big sister. She was so happy to see her.

…………………………………………………………………………………………….

Nathan stares at Hunter's apartment door. He had only been there once, and the visit had been pleasant. He threatened to cut Hunter off completely, but Hunter told him too. It didn't bother him. He would take care of McKenzie and their child anyway he could.

Nathan finally found the nerve to knock on the door.

Hunter answered, but he wasn't too happy to see his dad.

Alright let me know what you thought. Oh and by the way this episode has six chapters. Can't wait to hear from you guys.
