"Sawyer, do you want to come with Mummy for a walk?! I can show you all our old haunts?" Peyton asked as she buttoned up her daughter's jacket.

"Yes Mama! Where you met daddy?!"

"Yes Baby. I can show you where I met Daddy, where we got married, and where Daddy fixed my car too! I can show you my house growing up. Would you like to see that?" Peyton asked while secretly thinking about some things that might need to wait till Sawyer was a little older. Things like stalkers, school shootings and crazy love-triangles.

"Yes Mama!"

"Ok then, lets go!" Peyton said as she led Sawyer out the door.

"Geez Little Brother! Have you not exercised at all since high school?! C'mon man, I bet Jaime could run faster than you!" Nathan teased.
"Oh I dunno Nate.. Something called a heart condition might have something to do with it" Lucas panted, completely exhausted.

"I should have known better... I mean what was I thinking, an early morning jog with my elite athlete little brother….this could kill me you know!"

"Nah man, nothing like a little bit of exercise. Good for the soul! C'mon, just a little bit further. We'll run down to the River court. I think I can see Jaime down there shooting some hoops." And with that Nate took off leaving Lucas no choice but to stagger after him.

"See this here Sawyer. This is where your Daddy and I got married. Aunt Haley married us under this very tree. This is where I found out that your Daddy apparently had a crush on me since like the 8th grade."

"Pretty!" Sawyer replied, evidently in awe of her surroundings.

"And over here, this is where I first met your daddy. Right by this river."

Sawyer looked on and took in the atmosphere before running off to investigate all the little nooks and crannies of this new area with Peyton following close behind.

"C'mon Sawyer, I'll take you over to the River-court. You can see where your Daddy learnt how to play basketball!"

"Wow Uncle Lucas…. You look really bad!" Jaime said just as Nathan and Lucas ran up to the river-court.

"I agree! What are you trying to do Nathan? Kill my husband before he reaches 30?!" Peyton asked as she and Sawyer came around the corner. Spotting her father, Sawyer left her mothers side and ran to her father jumping into his arms.

"Hey You!" Lucas said picking up his daughter.

"Ewww Daddy – you smell!" Sawyer said curling up her nose and making a face.

Laughing, Lucas placed her back down on the ground.

"Hey guys, I'm going to keep on running. None of this 'easy running' that my big brother seems to have taken on!" Nathan teased.

"Jim, let Uncle Lucas take you home ok!"

"Sure Dad. Just a few more hoops first"

"We might head off too" Peyton said

"Leave you two boys for some bonding time. Jaime, you take care of my boy, make sure he doesn't over-do it ok?!"

"Sure thing Aunt Peyton"

"And you…" Peyton said, returning her focus to Lucas "I will see you at home" she said seductively. "I expect to see you still in one piece and alive and kicking!"

Lucas laughed. "Sawyer, come here and say bye to Daddy" Lucas prompted before hugging his daughter farewell.

"Bye Daddy" Sawyer chirped, before running off ahead of her mother.

"So… whatdoyasay Jimmy boy to a quick game of 'horse'?!"

"You're on Uncle Lucas! Want me to go easy on you? I'm getting pretty good now?!"

"I'll have you know Mr Jaime that I was once the star shooting guard for the Tree Hill Ravens. Your dad, uncle skills and I helped win that championship flag!"

"Haha. That's what Uncle Skills says right before I beat him!"

"I can't believe it! Beaten by a 7 year old" Lucas said with a mock shock in his voice.

"I am almost 8 Uncle Lucas!" Jaime replied.

"Well – I guess you are your fathers son after all… either that or it was that super cool ball we were playing with"

"Yeah – that was one of the best presents ever!"

"So Jimmy Jam, how do you feel about becoming a big brother?!" Lucas asked.

"Uncle Lucas, I'm almost 8 years old… nobody calls me that anymore! It's so childish!"

"Uh… I see.. so it's just Jaime now then?!"

"Yup. Just Jaime. But as for the baby. I guess I'm excited. I mean… it would be pretty cool to have a little brother or sister… but… things will be so different. I'm so used to it just being the three of us…"

"Yeah – I know buddy. It's going to be a big change, but a pretty awesome one don't you think?! Did you know, I was 18 when my little sister Lily was born"

"Yeah. She's about the same age as me isn't she Uncle Lucas"

"Yup – a few weeks apart. And do you know, it was so cool to have a new baby around the place. I love being a big brother. One that can watch over my little sister and actually remember watching her grow up. The best thing about it for you Jaime is that you get to be there for your new brother or sister. You'll still be able to share every moment with it. That's the only thing I miss. I miss not seeing Lily and my Mum every day and watching my little sister grow up, like you will be able to watch your little sibling grow up."

"I guess you're right Uncle Lucas. It would be pretty cool. At least it will give me someone else to beat in basketball" Jaime joked.

Lucas laughed. "What say you and I head back. You can tell your dad how your Uncle Lucas whipped your bum in a game of horse"

"Sure thing… like he would believe that!" Jaime said as they jumped off the benches and headed back to the Scott household.
