A/N: Hey guys, thanks for all the reviews. I'm glad you are enjoying it. This will be my last chapter for a little while. Read, enjoy and I'll continue in the New Year.

Merry Christmas everyone!

"See this here Sawyer?! This is one of Aunt Haley's records. She's a famous singer you know?!" Peyton said as she showed Sawyer around the platinum records hanging around the Red Bedroom Record studio.

"And this here, is Mia Catalano. She was your Mama's first record deal. She's doing real good now. You'll get to meet her when she returns from her tour soon." With that she put Sawyer down and let her wonder around the studio.

"Pretty Mama!" Sawyer said pointing to the "Friends with Benefit" album on the wall. Peyton smiled.

"That's right. This was a CD I helped make with your Nanna Ellie, just before she died. It was our bonding session." But Sawyer wasn't listening. She was too engrossed in the design on the front of the CD, as if in awe of the fact that her mother's face could really be on a CD, much less with wings too.

It was hard to believe that it had been two years since she had last been in this studio. There had only been minor changes to the room, mainly with a few more records hanging on the walls than before. It would be good to work close to the studio now. The business was going well, but it certainly had its hard moments to keep the record company afloat. Haley had done a great job, but with juggling her record, looking after her family, Nathan's NBA and doing the odd tutoring job, there was a lot on her plate. Peyton had taken time off when Sawyer was young, but had since been working at LA, helping out when she could. She was sure that things would flow much smoother now that she was closer to home.

"My my, a two year old in a room off from a bar… we are starting them young!"

Peyton looked up to see Haley standing in the doorway.

"Haha, what can I say, what better place to leave your child as you work" Peyton joked.

"It's good to see you back in the seat where you belong!"

"Hi Aunt Haley" Sawyer said shyly.

"Hey Chicken!" Hayley said while walking over to give her little niece a hug.

"I can't believe how big you are already!" Peyton said indicating to Haley's already growing stomach.

Haley laughed "Well I am six months! Plus they always say with your second child you grow…. faster?!"

"Ok…. then.. I can't believe you are six months already! Really…. Six months?!"

"Well… lets break it down shall we. I let you know when I was two months, it took almost 3 months for you and Luke to get your butts into gear and over here, and almost a month for you all to settle in! So yeah… six months!".

"You must be so excited! I'm excited for you!"

"Yeah – Nathan and I are pretty excited too. I mean the timings right this time. But what about you? I always imagined you and Lucas with heaps of kids. Do you think you'll have more?!"

Peyton sighed. "I don't think I'm the one to ask Hales. I would love more. You know that. I've always wanted a big family. But… you also know Lucas… and how worried he was with Sawyer's pregnancy and he is just not willing to try again. And I'm too worried to ask him after the last time I did and he completely shut me down."

As if on cue, Sawyer, who had enough of wondering around the studio, came over and climbed onto her mother's lap.

"It's just…. I love being a mum so much…. It's everything and more than I imagined… you know?!"

"You should talk to him Peyton. Let him know how you feel. I mean it's a big decision, but surely he won't be adverse to talking to a doctor about the risks or something like that!?"

"Yeah – I guess you're right. I just don't know if I can hear the definitive answer from either of them… Luke or the doctor. It would make it so…. final".

"Yes, but what if you heard the right answer?! The answer you wanted to hear? Look Peyton. Lucas is scared, I get that. But I know that he wanted more kids, he wants more kids. So if he knew that it was ok for you, he certainly would want more."

"Yeah… I know. Thanks Hales. Don't get me wrong, I love my family, more than you can imagine. But, it just doesn't feel complete yet. "

Haley and Peyton smiled at each other. It was nice to have someone understand how she was feeling about everything.

"Anyway! Changing the subject…. What do you think of these new sounds?! I found these really great bands and I think we should contact them. Their sound is really unique and I think that you will love it!"

After a day of hard work, Peyton took her time closing up the studio. She really loved this place. It was such an important part of who she was. The start of making dreams happen. Opening Tric with Karen's help, starting up her own record label and of course making some great friends along her way. Peyton was happy. She loved her life. She was surrounded by those she loved and had a beautiful family. This family thing was more than she ever dreamed of. Should she really tempt fate and potentially ruin everything by bringing up this topic again?

But then, like Haley said… what if she heard the right answer??

"C'mon Sawyer, let's go home" Peyton called, holding out her hand as her daughter ran up to grab it.
