A/N: FINALLY AN UPDATE!! I'm so sorry for making you guys wait so long, I promise to try harder to make the updates closer together.

As Nathan walked out of the locker room he couldn't help but feel the depression setting in that the season was over and he hadn't done as best as he wanted to. As he walked out of the arena he smiled when he saw Brooke and Adam waiting for him. The only good thing about not being in the playoffs is that he gets to spend even more time with his son and Brooke, who he knew was having problems being the perfect CEO mommy. "Look who is it Adam, its daddy!" Brooke exclaimed making the little baby laugh. Nathan stopped shortly in front of him and couldn't believe that Adam was almost a year old. As Nathan finished walking over to them Adam flung his arms out wanting Nathan to hold him and Nathan couldn't refuse that face, he pulled him out Brooke's arm who looked relieved to have a little break and happy to see how happy Nathan was with Adam.

"So buddy I was thinking that this afternoon you and I would have some daddy son time so that mommy can maybe get some work done." Brooke smiled in thanks and kissed his cheek grabbing Nathan's bag so he could put Adam in his child seat.

"Thank you that would mean a lot."

"Eh it's fine, plus Luke, Peyton and Jessica are in town so you and Peyton can get stuff done while Luke and I take the kids to the park or something." Brooke yet again smiled and kissed him wondering how she got so lucky to have an amazing husband like Nathan.

When they got home they found that Luke and Peyton had already arrived and where waiting for them in them in the house. Brooke was happy to see her friends and as soon as she and Peyton hugged the two were talking about the business leaving Nathan and Luke to take care of the kids. Brooke and Peyton went into the office but moments after she entered she rushed back out to tell Nathan something but he kissed her silencing her. "Go back into that office and get some work done. I have some free time so I'm going to play stay at home dad." Brooke nodded and let Peyton drag her back into the office and Nathan settled into the living room with Luke since Jess wanted to watch a movie.

Later that evening after Nathan had put Adam to bed for the first time in what felt like forever and Brooke and Peyton had finally come out of the office the 4 friends sat in the living room catching up. Nathan finally went over to his gym bag and pulled out his cell phone noticing there were 2 messages for him. He looked at Brooke silently wondering who would call him and as he listened to the message from his coach and from his agent he began to worry.

"What's wrong babe?" Brooke asked when Nathan came back into the living room with a weird look on his face.

"I have to call the coach tomorrow morning."

"Why?"

"I don't know he just said that he wanted to talk."

"For all you know he probably wants to congratulate on a great season." Nathan shrugged shaking his head before joining the conversation. There was no point in over thinking about it because he wouldn't find out until the next morning. He just hoped that it wasn't bad news.

The next morning after Nathan had to almost fight Brooke over who would get to get Adam up and feed him breakfast, which of course Peyton distracted Brooke so Nathan got to play with his son and spend some time with him, Nathan called the coach and they decided to meet up later that afternoon. Luke looked over at Nathan while he played with Adam and noticed the weird look on his face. "Hey Nate what's up?"

"It's nothing."

"Come on little brother, I know that something's wrong."

"It's just what does the coach wanna talk about? I thought did okay this season."

"You did great this season so don't worry for all you know it could be around some charity thing or another." Nathan nodded thinking that he was just overanalyzing it and shook his head smiling at Adam who had just thrown his spoon at Nathan's shirt. "What time is your meeting?"

"He said that I could just stop by later this morning."

"Well you go get ready I'll take care of Adam till you get back."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah I'll take them outside and they'll be a piece of cake to watch."

"Thanks Luke." Nathan smiled at him as he got up and kissed Adam's head before going upstairs and getting ready for his meeting.

Nathan walked into the coach's office with an uneasy feeling; he took a deep breath and sat down in front of the desk his hands are beginning to sweat. "Hey Nathan thanks for coming in and don't worry this is nothing bad." Nathan smiled a little bit feeling a little bit better.

"Then what is it about?"

"Well I remember you saying this season how much going home means to you because your roots are there and well an opportunity has come up so if you wanted to you could go back home."

"Really?"

"Yes but you only have to go if you want to you are more than welcome to stay here."

"Well I'll have to talk it over with my wife but I'll get back to you."

"Alright." Nathan stood and shook his hand walking out of the office with a huge smile on his face. He had the chance to go home, back to Tree Hill, where some of the most important people were and as he drove home he realized that if they were to move back to Tree Hill Brooke could get help from Karen and his mom with Adam so she wouldn't be so burned out and then maybe they could spend some time together as a family because right now with the way things are going Nathan had hardly seen her the past couple of weeks it was like Brooke played mommy until Nathan got home and then locked herself in the office until well past midnight and the next day the cycle would repeat itself. Nathan knew it wasn't fair for Brooke to neglect her company but sometimes Nathan was left with feeling like he wasn't even a priority. Pushing the negative thoughts out of his head as he pulled into the driveway Nathan hoped that he could talk to her.

When Nathan walked into house and found Peyton with Luke sitting on the couch with Adam playing in front of them with his trucks and Jess was sitting in one of the arm chairs reading a book. He smiled at Adam who looked up and picked him up wanting to have the little guy around when he talked to Brooke so that maybe she won't get angry, if she got angry that was. Nathan looked up at Peyton about to ask where Brooke was when she walked down the stairs with wet hair and dressed in one of Nathan's t-shirts and a pair of sweats. "Hey how'd your meeting go?"

"It was fine we actually have some stuff to talk about." She looked alarmed. "It's nothing bad we just need to talk about it."

"Alright let's go into the kitchen." Nathan nodded and followed her out of the room bouncing little Adam as they walked making him giggle and smile. Nathan sat down across from Brooke who put Adam in his high chair and giving him some animal crackers to snack on. "So what happened at your meeting?"

"The coach wanted to talk to me about next season."

"The season just ended and you're already talking about next season?"

"He asked if I wanted to be traded to Charlotte." Brooke stopped playing with the box of animal crackers and looked at him. "I didn't tell him anything; I told him that I needed to talk to you about it and he said that I could just get back to him."

"What do you want to do? I mean we've only been out here for a little bit."

"Well I was thinking about it and moving back home could really help both of us out."

"How?"

"Well you wouldn't be burning yourself out so much with trying to raise Adam and work because you'd have my mom and Karen to help out and we've always talked about moving back to Tree Hill."

"Yeah but I thought that we would at least be out here for a little bit longer than a year."

"Well if you think about it it's beneficial for Adam too. I mean if we move now then he won't really have that thing about hating us because he'll have no idea what's going on. If we wait till he's older he could hate us and I don't know if this opportunity is a more than one time thing."

"I don't know Nathan."

"Just think about it." She looked at him and noticed how happy he seemed with the opportunity to go home and be closer to his family and when he brought up the fact of her having help it did seem like a good idea, with Karen and Deb around to help Brooke could get a lot more work done and she could easily run the company from Tree Hill.

"I'll have to talk to Peyton about it but I think we could make it work. I mean it just makes sense with the most important people in our lives being there and plus what would it hurt to actually look into it." Nathan jumped up from his chair and pulled her into his arms twirling around.

"You're the best."

"Well I love California but the pull of Tree Hill is just too strong to ignore." He kissed her passionately pulling her as close to him as possible. Luke walked in and instantly covered his own eyes.

"Get a room." Nathan pulled away a huge smile on his face. "That's gross Nathan, you're son's right there." Nathan looked at Brooke silently asking if he could tell Luke and she just smiled leaving the room to Peyton about the possible move. "Why do you have a huge smile on your face?" Luke asked sitting down next to Adam stealing some of his animal crackers.

"We're thinking about moving back to Tree Hill."

"What about basketball? You're quitting after a year?"

"No coach said that if I wanted to I could be traded to Charlotte because he knows how important going back to Tree Hill is to me."

"What does Brooke have to say about it?"

"Well it would help out a lot because Deb and Karen are there so they can help watch over Adam while Brooke is working and stuff plus it'll be nice to back in the place where it all started ya know?"

"You just wanna rub it in Dan's face that you made it without him."

"No not true, I wanna rub it in his face that I turned out better than he ever could have."

"That is true you've been married to the same girl for almost 8 years now."

"And that's not gonna change any time soon."

"Good because if it does we're going to have a problem." Nathan looked up at Luke and wanted to laugh, Luke never could pull of the threatening look but Nathan knew that behind the funny look on his face that Luke meant every word that he said.

"Hopefully if we move back to Tree Hill there won't even be a risk of anything happening soon." Luke nodded knowing how much Nathan had missed his wife with the craziness of the season and her being away on business almost every time he was home and had a few days off. Brooke and Peyton walked back in smiling and laughing at each other sitting down next to the boys.

"So we've decided that we can make the business work from Tree Hill."

"Wait, we?" Luke asked looking at his girlfriend who had a evil look in her eye.

"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you that maybe I wanna move back to Tree Hill too." Luke looked at her and smiled.

"Alright then it's settled?" Nathan looked at Brooke with a hopeful look on his face. She nodded and watched him rush up from his seat and run over to his phone instantly on the phone with his coach.

"So I guess we should plan a trip to Tree Hill." Peyton nodded looking at Luke for his acceptance of the idea of moving back to Tree Hill and smiled when Luke nodded his head knowing that he wasn't going to win the argument and plus it would be better for Jessica to be around her family more. Nathan walked in with a smile on his face and sat down next to Brooke. "We're going to plan a trip to Tree Hill to start looking for a house and to get everything in order, plus it's been forever since we've seen your mom and Karen."

"Well we might as well plan it for around the same time that I have my meeting with the coaches in Charlotte."

"So you're for sure going to be traded to Charlotte?"

"Well coach said that Charlotte is willing to sit down with me and I'll probably play around with a few of their players to see if we work well together but yeah it's a pretty good done deal." Nathan smiled and felt a wave of happiness wash over him again, he felt a sense of completeness wash over him as he thought of going home.

A/N: So that was a weird chapter but I thought that I should update because it's been too long and I'm going to start working on the next chapter and hopefully update soon!
