Authors Note: My dearest readers I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to update this story life has just gotten away from me. I hope you all enjoy this chapter.

Previously:

Everyone else came down the stairs and joined the rest at the table "Dang P. Sawyer what time did you two get up?" Brooke said grabbing a piece of bacon.

"We haven't been up that long and I was starving so I just figured we could make the food." Peyton said grabbing some eggs. Everyone was comfortable with the waking up early to get the day going.

Haley grabbed some juice from the table and started pouring drinks for everyone, she was so use to working at the café that it just came naturally. "Rachel I really can't thank you enough for letting us all come out to your cabin" Haley said giving her some juice. "Guys seriously it is no problem, like I said my parents barely use it so it works out for us."

For Abby this was one of the best things she loved about her friends they were always there for her. Tim leaned over and kissed Abby on the cheek, everyone was finally happy.

They finished breakfast in silence then Brooke and Lucas cleared the table. "How are you feeling pretty girl?" Lucas said kissing her forehead. "Oh we are doing just fine, just trying to get use to wanting to eat everything all the time" Brooke said giggling. Lucas could not be happier to know that he was going to be a father and an uncle at the same time.

Rachel and Mouth walked outside to the lake holding hands and laughing. "Oh Rach you have made me the happiest guy in the world." "I don't know what I would do without you handsome" Rachel replied smiling. It seemed that all of the issues of the shooting had resolved itself. Even though Mouth had lost a friend he still had a strong group around him. "Maybe we should take Bevin and Skills out on the 4-wheelers although I am not so sure how Skills would like it." Rachel said laughing. "Hey what are you laughing about?" Skills said coming around the corner.

"Oh we were just talking about going for a ride on the 4-wheelers and were wondering if you guys wanted to join us." "That sounds fun and possibly entertaining considering I have no idea what I am doing." Skills replied chuckling. As they were walking towards the garage Bevin jumped on Skills back and started laughing. Everything was falling in the right place everyone was happy and nothing could change that.

Once they got out on to the trails it was as if nothing was in their way and they all took off in different directions. Bevin and Skills met up half way down the one trail and found a quiet spot to be together. "I am so glad that we got this time together, I am so sorry I wasn't there for you on that day." "There was nothing that you could have done for me you being safe in the gym was the one thing that kept me going while we were are in the tutor center." Skills said kissing her.

As the four of them were outside having fun everyone else was hanging out in the living room of the cabin. The guys were playing a game and just relaxing. Haley and Brooke were talking about their pregnancies while Peyton was helping Abby with her hair. Brooke looked over at Lucas and smiled, this trip was exactly what she needed and having her friends around to support her meant the world to her.

"So what exactly is the sparkle classic, I know that it is coming up and I just don't want to make a fool of myself." Abby said looking up at Peyton. "Basically it is this big cheer competition and basketball game." Peyton replied. The sparkle classic was the one event that Peyton and Brooked looked forward to it meant that everyone was together and their cheerleading could be recognized. It was in a couple of weeks and she just hoped that the whole squad was ready for it.

"Listen Nate about our new sister, I mean are you really excited that we have a new sibling or are you upset with Dan?" "To be honest it is kind of nice to have a little sister, I am not the youngest and Dan has really changed I can already tell." Nate replied thinking that it will be weird to have a child roughly around the same age as his sibling. "Yeah I know but at the same time we are going to be fathers and it will be a little weird having a little sister be almost the same age." Lucas said sighing. "To be honest Luke I was just thinking the same thing." Both of the guys laughed and went back to playing their game.

Jake and Tim were sitting there watching the video game and just relaxing. "Hey does anyone know where Mouth, Rachel, Bevin and Skills went?" Jake said getting up to stretch, "Ummm no idea, maybe they are outside, I know Rachel said something about 4-wheelers." Brooke said getting up to go make some tea. Haley followed her into the kitchen not that she did not trust Brooke near a stove she just did not want the cabin to burn down.

As the water was boiling for the tea the girls continued to talk about how everyone seemed very at easy over both of them being pregnant. Once the water was hot enough and they were working on getting everyone some tea they heard the group coming in from outside. Adding some more water to the kettle they began to take the tea into the living room.

Everyone hung out in the living room talking and laughing, it was exactly the trip the all needed. They knew now that nothing would be able to break the bond of their friendship. Abby got up from next to Tim and walked into the kitchen to get the lunch that Karen packed from them.

When Tim walked into the kitchen he smiled he was so lucky to have this girl in his life and he was not quite sure how he would have handled her getting seriously injured by Marcus. With that he walked up behind her and gave her a hug then helped her carry the food in. "Look Karen made all of our favorites, Luke you really do have the best mom ever." Lucas just smiled he knew how lucky he was to have all the women that he did in his life and no one had to tell him twice.

Nathan turned a movie on and everyone curled up and at lunch, knowing they only had one more day out here they wanted to make the best of it. Instead of going out to a party that they heard about on the way in they watched the movie and made some popcorn while enjoying each other company.

Later that night when they all went to bed it was peaceful knowing they did not have to leave till late no one sat an alarm and they all agreed to not to make a lot of noise so no one was woken up. Mouth grabbed Rachel as they made it to their door and kissed her passionately "Thank you baby again for all that you have done for all of us." Rachel continued the kiss as they walked into the room; she kicked the door shut and smiled.

Tim grabbed Abby by the waist and pulled her into their room as she was saying good night to Bevin and Skills; Abby began to giggle and kissed Tim as she crawled onto the bed. Skills carried Bevin into their room and laughed as she tried to get away. Brooke was already in the shower when Lucas got into the room so he decided to join her; with a small scream Brooke let him into the shower.

Peyton and Jake barely made it to their bed before they both passed out from just the tiredness of lack of sleep from the previous morning. Haley and Nathan were cuddled in bed talking about what their future held now that she was pregnant and they both wanted to go to different schools after graduation.
