Lucas and his daughter, Becca, were walking around the little town of Tree Hill. They always did this when Peyton was at work. Suddenly Becca looked up. She was staring at the most beautiful wooden horse in the world, or at least to a 4 year old. Lucas noticed Becca wasn't holding on to his hand anymore and looked back to see where she was. "Becca? What are you doing?" He walked towards the little girl looking in aww. "Daddy, I want that horsey?" Becca looked up at her father with those almond brown eyes. Nobody could resist Becca. Not even Brooke and Nathan.

Lucas looked down at his daughter once more. He held out his hand and Becca grab it and pulled him into the store, where he met a man. The man had blonde hair, a mustache and beard, and emerald green eyes. He was around Lucas' age, maybe a few years older, no older than 30, though.

"Hello, my names, Jeff Willow, welcome to my shop...?" The man, Jeff stated. "Lucas," Lucas told him, "and this is my daughter..." Jeff looked down, now realising there was a little girl in te room,"oh?" Jeff perked an eyebrow.

"My names Becca Penelope Scott!" Becca cheered,"I was named after my mommy's bestest friend, Brooke, her middle name is Penelope too!" Now Jeff was staring contently at Becca, Lucas felt uncomferable, but Becca just kept babbling on.

"And my mommy's name is Peyton...Peyton Eliz..." She was cut off by her father. "Becca, why don't we get what you wanted, your mother is going ot be back soon," Lucas said sternly.

"Okay daddy," Becca replied a little depressed, but cheered up when they walked out of the shop with the wooden horse.

Flashback

------------------

"Hey Peyton, how about Haley sings tonight!" Brooke Scott joked with her best friend, since High School Prom everything had changed, for the better, for the worst for some people, if that's the case.

It was night of Prom, and Lucas Scott walked in alone. Right aways, Brooke spotted him. "Where's Peyton!?"Brooke questioned him,"I thought you two were coming together, did something happen, did you hurt her?"

"Brooke, calm down, nothing happened, she just told me she didn't won't to come after she had that fight with you,"Lucas told her. "I gotta go talk to her, is she at home?" Brooke asked about to bolt out the door. "Um, I think so, she wasn't answering the door...what happened to your dress?" Lucas asked now staring at her dress, that under the blacklight, clearly sported the word, 'Whore'.

"She cares," Brooke told him," and so do I, this is supposed to be the bext night of her life, and I ruined it, I'm gonna go talk to her..."

Peyton's house

"They told me you were in JAIL!?" Peyton screamed as she finally woke up from being knocked out from the punch. "I was, now obviously I'm not,"'Derek' told her smirking.

'Knock...Knock' "Peyton, open up NOW! I want to talk to you, please, I'm sorry for what I said earlier, please Peyton..."

That night, 2 things were saved and one of them was a very great friendship!

End Flashback

"Yea, right, sure Tree Hill Haley would've not Haley that abandoned Nathan and moved ot California before the baby was born," Peyton said noticing Brooke sarcasism.

After the tape, Haley realised her heart wasn't with Nathan and moved to California, hoping after the baby was born, to get back on tour and restart her music career. Nathan never heard from Haley about their son or Haley.

Soon after Haley left, Nathan was devistated, Brooke took care of that, and about two months later, they were married, and Brooke Davis became Brooke Scott, and was now expecting a baby Scott.

Brooke wanted to name it Brathan, but Nathan wouldn't have his kid named that, he remembered that Brooke made up the name Naley for him and Haley and pushed the thought aside. When he found out Brooke was pregnant, he made sure Brooke was positive about them staying together, and this baby was more planned then an accident.

Now Peyton stood in front of a 6 month pregnant Brooke, and thanked god for her best friend, especially when she had Becca. Peyton found out she was having Becca a few months after Prom, and she was actualy thinking of getting an abortion, afriad that Derek had raped her and it wasn't Lucas. But she soon found out, he did nothing like that, so it was definetly Lucas'.

"So how's it going with Becca?" Brooke asked. "I don't know, she's been having these dreams lately. She would come running into our bedroom, crying, and sleep in the bed with us," Peyton told her," it's been happening for about a month now."

"Maybe she's just going through a phase, it will be over in no time," Brooke said sitting next to her friend on a bar stool, barley fitting. "I don't know, Brooke, she's been clinging to Lucas alot, sometimes when I walk in the room she won't say anything, I think I've been gone too long during the day, she spends all that time with Lucas, just talking to him, I just want her to talk to me, she is four years old, and she still is growing, I want to be there for her!" Peyton told Brooke.

"I know, buddy, but you could always borrow, Brathan, if you want," Brooke whispered. Across Tric Nathan yelled, "I heard that Brooke, we are not naming the baby Brathan!" "Okay Nathan whatever you say!" Brooke yelled back, then turned to Peyton and whispered," Brathan is a keeper."

Peyton and Lucas'

----------------

"Daddy! I want it over here, by the window, over here daddy!" Becca screeched. "Okay, Becca hold on," Lucas told her, carrying the wooden rocking horse into the pink nursery.

Even though Becca was four she still loved that pink nursery, and since she got everything she wanted, she wouldn't let Peyton and Lucas change it. Even her favorite aunt Brooke, couldn't make her change it.

"Hey guy's, I'm home!" Peyton called thoughout the house. "Yea, were home!" Brooke called sarcasticly. "Yey! Brookie!" Becca screamed and ran down stairs. Lucas rubbed his hair and walked out after the little girl.

"Brookie!,"Becca almost jumped in Brooke's arms, but Lucas grabbed her arm just in time. "Becca, remember aunt Brookie's baby,"Peyton told her daughter. "I'm sorry, mommy, I didn't mean to, I weally, weally didn't, I forgwot?" Becca flashed her mother the famous Scott smile.

"It's okay, Becca," Brooke said, with her hand on her stomach as she bent down near Becca," she didn't mean it Peyton." Peyton stood up from where Becca was and walked out of the room, into the hallway and eventually made her way up to Becca's nursery.

"Hey,"Lucas whispered soothingly as he stood in the doorway. Peyton was sitting in the rocking chair on the far side of the room, her gaze directed out the window, apperently not paying attention that Lucas was in the room.

Lucas walked over to her. "What's wrong, Peyt." Even though they have been out of High School for more then 3 years, they were still in high school in their hearts, and sometimes, Peyton visited her past, the way she used to be. Dark and closed. "Nothing,"she whispered,"everything."

"It's Brooke isn't it?"Lucas asked her. "Not exactly, I mean it's just me, she's my daughter, Luke, mine, why does Brooke always act like Becca is hers. I mean I know she desn't mean it and I love having my best friend back. But Becca is always clinging to you and I look like the bad guy, you didn't even punish her for almost jumping on Brooke," Peyton took a deep breath.

"Peyton, I know that's not true, Becca loves you, your her mother, not Brooke, and I didn't do nothing, because she hadn't done anything wrong, what's the sense on punishing her when Brooke said it was fine?" Lucas knelt down on the floor and patted beside him.

Peyton slipped off the chair and leaned on him, her head resting on his shoulder. "I know, I'm making a big deal out of it," Peyton mumbled,"I've been thinking..." Lucas glanced at her," What?"

"Well I thought maybe I should sell my half of Tric,"Peyton blurted out. After Karen had died, she had left her club, Tric, to Peyton and Brooke. "Peyton!"Lucas said," why?"

"Because I would have more time to spend with Becca," she told him. "I don't know Peyton, my mother gave you that,"Lucas said, looking hurt, thankfully Peyton couldn't see it. "Your right, I won't sell it, I just want to spend more time with Becca...where did that come from?" Peyton stared at the wooden horse.

"I bought it for Becca today, she wanted it really bad, and I couldn't resist," Lucas told her. "Oh, that's okay," Peyton said,"I guess I couldn't either, it's beautiful."

"yea, just like you," Lucas said," we better get back down there." "Yea who knows what Brooke could turn our daughter into next!" Peyton joked.

Later that night

--------------

"Becca's tucked in,"Peyton said as she walked into the bedroom. "That's good,"Lucas told her,"come on, Becca is going ot be fine, she's not gonna have a dream tonight,I promise."

"MOMMY, DADDY!" Becca screeched as she ran into their bedroom,"he's coming, he's coming, he's coming!" She was out of breath as she climbed into their bed and huddled under the covers near Peyton.

Peyton hugged her daughter and quieted her. "Everything's gonna be alright,I promise Becca." "No he's coming,"she screeched her eyes closed, tears falling. "Who's coming baby?"Lucas asked her. "He's coming,"she whispered."He's coming after me...Derek's coming"

Becca took one last breath as she slipped into a short sleep at her mother's side. Peyton looked at Lucas, terrified.
