Hey guys, I'm back with an update. Thanks so much for the reviews they really mean a lot. Also, thanks to TivaxBrulianxKibbs and Dani OTH for the video request people. I sent out a request so hopefully I will have a video for this story. I just have to say OTH was super cute last night. Also, I know you guys will think I'm crazy when I say this but the scene where Nathan and Clay are getting out of the pig truck and they unfold the map and are arguing, I swear I think James had a hickey on his neck. It looks really noticeable I mean I saw it anyway, so did my best friend. I guess I should take it easy on him next time….but we were in the moment and it just kind of happened. I made that last part up but not the part about the mysterious marking on James's neck. Maybe something from Sophia? Yeah, I know that she's "friends" with Austin or whatever but I choose to believe that her and James are still together. I know, get a life Ashley and get on with the update. So here you guys go.

"Fired?" Lindsey asked getting up from the couch.

"Lindsey…you have to understand that…." Lucas started

"Understand what? That you're an ass?" Lindsey asked "Cause I have that part down"

"Lindsey, this is hurting Brooke, I have to get a new editor" Lucas confessed

"Since when do you care what Brooke wants?" Lindsey asked harshly.

"What?" Lucas asked

"You heard me" Lindsey said "You've been lying to her about where you've been. I know that you love me, Lucas"

"Lindsey, I need to go" Lucas said shaking his head and walking to the door.

"Lucas don't go please" Lindsey said grabbing him by the hand. "I know that I can make you happy. You and I were so good together"

"Lindsey, what's happened to you?" Lucas asked moving out of her grasp.

"Remember?" Lindsey asked as she leaned up and kissed him. She wrapped her arms around Lucas' neck and stood on her tiptoes to deepen the kiss.

Lucas grabbed Lindsey's shoulders and pushed her away from him "Lindsey, what the hell is the matter with you?"

"Luke, I know I can make you happy, you don't want Brooke" Lindsey said her eyes welling with tears.

"How can you say that?" Lucas asked

"Because of your writing Luke. The Unkindness of Ravens was about Peyton and your love for her and The Comet was about Peyton too, but this new book is about you and me" Lindsey explained as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Lindsey, you're out of your mind the book is…." Lucas started.

"The book is about love ending and beginning again, it's about how the male lead looks all his life for something that was always right in front of him it's about how when he realized how the love of the girl had changed him into what he knew he could be. It's about how even though it hurt the guy to be away from the girl, he knew they were destiny…that all roads would lead back to her" Lindsey explained. "It's about us, Luke. I just know it is"

"Lindsey, the book has nothing to do with you and me. There is no you and me" Lucas shook his head and tried to walk around Lindsey to the door.

"Lucas, you don't mean that. I know you love me. I love you, I've always loved you. All I need is a chance to make you happy again. We were happy, Luke. Until Brooke came back into your life. She should have just stayed in LA all she does is drag you down, she's a bad wife and a bad mother" Lindsey said her voice trailing off.

"What did you say?" Lucas asked his eyes darkening with rage.

"Nothing, I….was just…" Lindsey stuttered as Lucas walked towards her. Lindsey walked backwards until she felt the wall at her back.

"I'm going to give you some advice Lindsey. I know you're hurting right now but, if I hear you ever talk about my wife like that again you'll be sorry, do you understand me?" Lucas asked his voice laced with venom.

"Yeah" Lindsey nodded quickly her voice shaky with fear.

Lucas backed up off of her and walked to the door. "Goodbye Lindsey, forever"

Haley and Nathan's House

"I just wish that there was something we could do" Haley said resting her head on Nathan's shoulder as they lay in bed.

"I know it Hales, I don't know why Lucas gets himself into these situations" Nathan said placing a kiss on his wife's forehead.

"I just can't believe that he would talk to me like that" Haley curled deeper under the covers and threw a leg over Nathan's.

"I'm going to talk to him about it" Nathan said. Lucas might be hurting right now but it was no excuse for him to talk to Haley like she was a dog.

"Nathan, don't say anything. I shouldn't have said anything to Brooke and then none of this would have happened" Haley ran her hand along Nathan's red sleep shirt.

"Hales….I'm not going to start a fight…I just want him to apologize to you" Nathan explained.

"He will. It's just been a long time since we had a fight. A real long time…like the last fight we had was over you." Haley said furrowing her brow as she thought back.

"Me? What did I do?" Nathan asked.

"Um, what didn't you do in high school Nathan? You were awful to Luke and you know he didn't take kindly to you and I seeing each other" Haley answered.

"Haley, I was not that bad to him" Nathan said shaking his head.

"You were" Haley nodded. "Lucas would cry"

"You know what Mrs. Scott, you are full of it" Nathan looked at Haley who had cocked her head to look up at him.

"I'm not, ok maybe he wouldn't cry but he still was hurt" Haley acknowledged leaning up to kiss Nathan on the cheek.

"Do you ever think about what would have happened if Lucas would have just stayed on the River Court?" Nathan asked "I mean, I'm glad things turned out like they did but do you ever think about what would have happened?"

"I think things sure would be different. I mean, you would probably still be with Peyton. The two of you and your house full of smart ass, basketball playing, music listening artists…who drink on the weekends and have premarital sex with everyone that will stand still" Haley said.

"You shouldn't talk about mine and Peyton's imaginary kids like that. In all honesty they would be having premarital sex with your and Luke's kids. I could imagine them one like Luke who's a brooding, loner and one like you who doesn't have the fashion sense that God gave a goose" Nathan said shaking his head "What a sad world that would be"

"You're such a jerk" Haley sighed "If I would have had kids with Luke, they would of beat your kids ass"

"I don't think so. I could see us at our reunion. You and Lucas at the loser table with the River Court gang and Me and Peyton at the table in the middle sitting with Brooke, looking at pictures of her 6 kids, all with different dads" Nathan stretched and rolled him and Haley over so that he was on top of her.

"That's a mean fantasy. Especially the part about me having to sit at the table with the guys from the River Court" Haley frowned looking up at Nathan.

"Then you should be glad that Lucas joined the Ravens. Someone had to get you out of the future you were headed towards. Although, sometimes I do wonder it's kind of odd that our son looks more like his uncle and less like me" Nathan said brushing Haley's hair across her forehead.

"Well, I guess it's time I confess. Nathan, the night that we went up to Rachel's cabin, Luke and I had sex. Crazy, wild sex while you guys were sucking up to Pete Wentz I was suck…." Haley started.

"Don't finish that sentence" Nathan said rolling off of Haley and onto his side.

"Aw, Nathan what's the matter?" Haley asked.

"This story isn't funny anymore…and now thanks to you I'll never be able to listen to Fallout Boy again" Nathan sighed to loudly.

"I'm sorry" Haley said as Nathan rolled over and looked at her.

"How sorry?" Nathan asked "Sorry enough to do the thing I like?"

"Nope, I'll never be that sorry" Haley said laughing quickly and shaking her head.

"Haley, it was an accident. I just wasn't expecting you to…" Nathan explained.

"It's ok" Haley said quickly as she moved to straddle him. "It was a lesson learned"

"So you forgive me?" Nathan asked.

"I think we can work something out" Haley said raising an eyebrow before leaning down to kiss him.

Jake and Peyton's House

"I'm so ready for this game thank you DVR for your precious gift of recording the playoff game for me" Jake said kissing the remote to the DVR before pressing play.

"Jake, you do realize that it's just a game…I mean it's sad how into it you get" Peyton said adjusting herself on the couch.

"Peyton, I've waited all evening for this. I didn't watch Sports Center or get on the internet I just want to watch my game and see who wins for myself" Jake explained.

"I can tell you who wins…..the" Peyton said.

"LALALALALALALA" Jake said covering his ears.

"Real mature Jake…I don't know where our kids get it" Peyton said as Hayden came into the living room.

"Hi" Hayden said as he walked over to the couch.

"Hayden Jacob what are you doing up this late?" Peyton asked her 3 year old son.

"I wake up" Hayden explained as he pulled himself up on the couch. "Basketball"

"That's my boy alright" Jake said proudly as he set his son on his lap.

"Well you can be the one to deal with him in the morning. He may look like you but he got the Sawyer temper" Peyton explained.

"Oh well, let's go Lakers kick some ass" Jake said.

"Kick ass" Hayden repeated.

"Real nice Jake" Peyton said looking at her husband.

"Peyton, just shhhh that's all I've got to say. I've got a whole bag of shhhh for you over here" Jake said.

"Is there anything else you'd like to teach our 3 year old before I go to bed?" Peyton asked.

"Peyton, he's going to learn it somewhere may as well be from his old man" Jake explained.

"Now I know why your mom and dad always put him in timeout" Peyton sighed as she tried to move herself up off the couch.

"It's not my fault…he's got the "Sawyer temper" remember?" Jake mocked.

"You're lucky I love you Jake cause I'd punch you right now if I could" Peyton said.

"Yeah right" Jake joked as Peyton finally got up and punched his arm before walking out of the living room. "Hey…ow" Jake rubbed his arm and looked at Hayden.

"You see what your mama does to me?" Jake asked.

"Bad daddy" Hayden said.

"No, bad mommy" Jake corrected.

"Bad daddy" Hayden said again.

"Um…Jake?" Peyton called.

"Just a minute" Jake said

"I don't have a minute" Peyton said.

"What's wrong?" Jake asked looking over at Peyton in the doorway.

"My water broke"

Brooke and Lucas' House

"I don't know what you want me to say, Lucas" Brooke said softly from where she was sitting on the couch she looked down at the red roses in her hand and then at her husband.

"I just want to be honest with you Brooke" Lucas explained. "I love you"

"It doesn't feel like it" Brooke replied as fresh tears welled in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry about Lindsey. I just thought that I could do this edit without her getting emotional about it. I didn't mean to put my dream ahead of you. That's not fair" Lucas explained.

"It's not just about me Lucas. I want you to be happy. I want all your dreams to come true" Brooke confessed. "I don't want to be the reason you fired Lindsey"

"You're not baby" Lucas said. "I did it because I knew I needed to. I knew that being there with her and anything that she had to offer was nothing compared to being with you"

"Lucas…" Brooke started.

"No, Brooke I don't know what's happened to me these last couple of months all I know is I love you. I love our kids. I would lay down my life for this family and I shouldn't have let something so stupid ruin that"

"I just don't want to lose you Luke. I can't do this alone" Brooke said looking away from him.

"You're not going to do anything alone. I promise you that cause I love this girl named Brooke Scott a whole lot I love everything about you. I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. I love you Brooke and nothing is ever going to change that. I am never going to hurt you" Lucas said.

"I love you, Lucas" Brooke finally said as she scooted closer to him and let him wipe her tear stained cheeks.

"I love you, too. So much Pretty Girl" Lucas said leaning in to kiss her.

"It's going to take time Lucas" Brooke said as she pulled back from the kiss just as the phone rang.

"I know that" Lucas said smiling for the first time since their fight his smile fell as he watched Brooke put the phone back down on the hook.

"We've got to go" Brooke said.

"Why?" Lucas asked

"Peyton's in labor"
