Episode 9 Ch.1 Low and Behold

The next morning for Lily and Spencer was absolute bliss. They were finally back together and even better they were married, and it was going to stay like that forever.

Spencer watched as Lily slept peacefully. It felt like everything they had been through was all worth it in the end.

Lily slowly opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Spencer smiling back at her. "What are you doing?" She giggled.

"I'm watching my beautiful wife sleep." He pushed her hair away from her face. "You are absolutely gorgeous when you're sleeping."

"Drool and all," she laughed.

"Yes drool and all," He leaned over and kissed. "Because you are my wife, and I'm going to happily love you forever." He kissed her again. "And I can't wait to tell everyone that we are finally married."

"We can't," Lily sat up in the bed. "We can't tell anyone that we are married."

Spencer squinted. He was confused.

Lucas is staring at his cell phone.

Peyton walks into the bedroom and shakes her head with a giggle. "Lucas Scott, what are you doing?"

Lucas sighs, "Lily sent me a text message saying that she was fine, but she didn't give me the details. I need to know the details."

Peyton shakes her head and joins her husband on the bed. "You are such a woman. It is none of your business, and Lily will tell you the details when she wants you to know them."

Lucas squinted. "I'm just curious. I really hope that she got to Spencer in time."

"The only thing that matters is that Lily is happy, and if she is happy without Spencer then you will be too."

"Yeah, but if they ended up together then you know I'm going to take the credit." Lucas laughed.

Peyton shakes her head again and then takes Lucas' head in her hands. "I love you Lucas Scott even if you are the nosiest man I know." She leans in and kisses him.

Aidan is laying on his couch surrounded by beer cans when Caroline comes in. "Aidan…honey…why don't you go get yourself cleaned up?"

"I'm fine mom. You can leave."

"I know that this sucks, but you can't let the darkness get to you. This is going to eat away at you if you let it."

"I'm letting it." Aidan told her matter of fact.

"I think that you should take a shower and take a run or something. You need to get out of this house." Caroline was really worried about him.

Aidan sat up on the couch. "I think you are right mom. I need some more beer." He walked into the kitchen and grabbed his keys.

"Aidan…you don't need to drive…you've been drinking…don't let this failed engagement bring you down."

Aidan looked at her snidely. "I'm sobered up. Trust me on that one." Aidan walked out of the house leaving Caroline at a loss for words.

Keith is teaching his class, and the bell rings. "Okay guys remember your papers are due tomorrow." He told them as they ran out of the room.

"Yeah whatever," Tanner said as he walked out of the room.

Keith could not stand that boy, but he didn't say anything. He knew Tanner would get his one day.

Stephanie walked up to his desk. She always stayed after class every single time. She loved being able to talk to Keith.

"Yeah Stephanie…How can I help you?"

"I think I'm going to need some help on my paper. Can you help me?"

Keith looked at her paper. "Um yeah I can help you. Why don't you come back after school?"

"Thanks…Keith…you're the best teacher ever." She flipped her hair and walked out of the classroom. Keith smiled. He was glad someone thought so.

Lucas is still sitting on his bed, something that he did all the time lately. He heard a knock at the door. "Come in…if you have cookies…" He laughed.

"I think I have something much better." Elizabeth said as she walked in holding Emma.

Lucas smiled, "Oh yeah I think Emma Peyton is much better than cookies. Bring me my little cookie."

Elizabeth laughed at him. He was hilarious when he was around Emma. He was a big teddy bear around her. "Here you go Grandpa." She handed him Emma. "She loves you so much."

"Well I love her too." He made faces at Emma. "She's my girl."

"Well your other girl was wondering if you would watch your main girl. Noah and I would like to take a little break."

Lucas smiled at Emma. "I would love to watch her for a little while. Yes I would." He made a sound that sounded a lot like a giggle. Elizabeth just shook her head.

Natalie and Lucy run into the room and jump on the bed. "We want to help too." Lucy told him. "We're good babysitters."

Lucas looked at Elizabeth to make sure it was okay.

"I think Emma would like that a lot."

"Me too," Natalie touched Emma's forehead. "You don't want to stay with your stinky old grandpa. He's a boy."

"And boys drool." Lucy wrinkled her nose.

Lucas laughed. "I hope you guys remember that when you are sixteen." He knew they wouldn't though. Elizabeth shook her head. They would never remember that when they turned sixteen.

Brooke is working at COB when Nathan walks in with a single red rose. She smiles at him. "What are you doing here husband of mine?"

"I wanted to make sure that my lovely wife didn't have any plans for the night." He kissed her on the cheek.

"Depends on what my husband has planned for me."

"Well he has a really romantic evening planned for you. All you have to do is say yes." He smiled at her and kissed her other cheek.

"Then I think I can clear my schedule for you." She finally kissed his lips. "Thank you for the rose."

"There is more where that came from, and more of this." He kisses her again.

"It is nice to have you back," Brooke manages to say in-between kisses.

Ally seems to have the strongest little lungs as she screams at her very young father. "Come on sweet girl…please stop crying…I don't know what is wrong with you." He tries to give her a bottle again, but she doesn't want it.

"Come on Hunter…think of something…."

He turned his CD player on to a song that his brother sings. Ally finally stops crying.

"Thank you Jamie," Hunter says in relief. It seemed like Ally really liked Jamie's singing voice.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Breanne is looking at a picture of Jamie while on the tour bus Jamie looks at a picture of Breanne and Carter.

They both remember saying goodbye to each other.

Breanne and Carter take Jamie to the bus station. "I don't want you to go Jamie." Carter kisses his cheek as Jamie holds him.

"I wish I didn't have to go buddy, but I have too."

"But he's going to call us every single chance he gets." Breanne had to hold back the tears forming in her eyes.

"You promise," Carter melted Jamie's heart.

"I promise Carter. I will never forget you two. I love you with all my heart little man." He looks over at Breanne. "You too…I love you."

"I love you too. Go make us all proud." She was sad, but she was also happy that he was getting this chance. It was huge for him.

Jamie gave Breanne a big kiss before leaving. They were going to miss him so much. Breanne and Carter sat and cried for an hour before finally going home.

Jamie liked singing and being on tour, but he missed Breanne and Carter with all of his heart. They were his family, and he hated being away from them.

Okay so there is the first chapter of Episode 9. Everything is beginning to unfold and other stories are starting to come to life, and I'm really excited about all that.

Oh and I was freaking out for two days because I couldn't read reviews. It would show I was getting them but I couldn't read them. I was so upset. I love reading my reviews.

So thanks so much to all of you who do review and let me know what's on your mind. I really appreciate it.

LukeandLorealaidanes: You might be on to something with your idea about McKenzie. I liked the name too. I just feel like Jamie would get to name his child Haley since he is the oldest. I'm so glad that you love this story. I really have tried my best to make this one the best one yet. So it is really nice to read that you think so.

Suze18: Lily has a lot of secrets. She was gone for over four years. I'm glad Lily/Spencer are finally happy. That's how I always wanted it and it was hard for me to keep it a secret, but now I don't have too anymore. I promise the stuff with Jacey is coming to a close soon. It's interesting how it ends.

Saints and Sailors: So I checked out your story. I really think I'm going to like it.

A Amanda A: I'm so glad that you are liking how things are going. Jenny's story is going to take a break for a few episodes, but it picks back up in episode 12, and things are really going to start to unravel then. And as for the breakup I agree. It shouldn't be out in the open. So many shows have it that way, but I wanted this to be just between them. No one has to know what was said or why. They just know that it is over between them.

LeytonLove123: You are so right about Lily/Spencer/Aidan and Hunter with the baby. I'm trying to put the kids in it more this time. Some times I forget about the kids too, but I love them so I'm gonna try to use them more. Jacey's story with Eddie is heating up and some major stuff will happen in the next two or three episodes.

Jolleke24: You were right about them getting married right away. I had him propose to make it more real. And as for Eddie I promise that stuff is coming to a close very soon. I'm tired of him too. It's hard for me to write someone so mean and cruel. And I'm definitely going to put in some Spencer/Peyton for you. I like that they work together too.

SuperNaturallyCharming: You are so good with knowing what is going to happen.

AryannaMonroe: I agree with you. Spencer and Lily are perfect for each other. Oh and sorry about the whole Breanne/Jamie thing. Maybe it will turn out like you want it too.

leytonislove22: Sorry that Aidan and Lily didn't up together, but Aidan has a good story coming up. I promise.

*So thanks again, and I'm so glad that most of you were really happy about Lily/Spencer. I promise the love triangle is over with.

So let me know what you thought and I'll update soon.
