18 months later

Haley smiled softly as she looked around the garden. Everyone she loved was here. The scene before her was reminiscent of the last barbeque she had hosted. Only this time, there were a few more faces. In particular, Lucas'. He was currently at the barbeque with his brother directing him on how best to cook the steaks and been yelled at by Nathan for "showing off his inherited cooking skills."Lucas let out a loud chuckle at his brother. It was good to see him laughing again Haley thought to herself.

The last 18 months had been tough on everyone. There had been bad times and good times. Haley was pleased that the good far outweighed the bad. There had been fun times, trips, catching up with family that had moved back and many accomplishments. There were three key events that had topped them all though.

Haley watched as Lucas steadily walked over to the table. There was a slight limp in his step, something that he unfortunately would always have as a reminder of his accident, but this didn't faze him. Lucas, as well as the others had been overjoyed that he could walk again. That was the first key event that had highlighted the last year and a half.

The second was shown by the rings that were placed on both Lucas' and Peyton's left hands. Shortly after he had begun to walk again, Lucas had got down on one knee and popped the question on Christmas Day in front of them all. Peyton had screamed yes even before Lucas had a chance to finish his romantic speech and practically threw herself onto him. They had married a few months later.

Haley couldn't help but smile as she watched her best friend sit down next to wife, placing an arm across the back of her chair. The happiness that radiated off the couple was infectious and she couldn't think of two people who deserved it more.

The third thing that had topped the list was nestled snugly in Peyton's arms. A little baby with a tuft of bright blonde hair was the main reason for the couple's happiness. He lay there in his mother's arms without a care in the world as his father softly stoked his head. The little baby was just two weeks old and in that fortnight he had brought Lucas and Peyton more pleasure than they ever could have imagined. The whole family had been ecstatic at the news of Peyton's pregnancy and they had once again spent many hours clock watching in the hospital. Only this time, it was for a much better reason.

Moving away from Lucas and Peyton, Haley continued her observation.

Jamie and Lily were currently having a great time splashing about in the pool under the ever watchful gaze of Karen and Deb, who were seated the side of the pool.

Andy, Karen and Lily had moved back to Tree Hill after their world trip and had settled in nicely. Lily was in the same classes as Jamie, Karen had opened a restaurant and Andy had a teaching job with the local university. Everyone was over the moon that they had decided to come back, especially Lily who was given a large number of clothes from Brooke, much to her delight.

"Foods ready!"

Hearing her husband's voice pulled Haley from her trance as she made her way to the table and sat down next to Brooke, who was currently holding what she nicknamed "Baby Leyton"

"And how is my favourite nephew?" Haley cooed as she stroked the baby's soft tuft of hair.

"He's ready for his nap" Lucas said as he made he was over and took the baby from a very reluctant Brooke.

Placing a kiss to the baby's forehead, he adjusted him in his arms and made his way over to the travel cot that had been set up just inside the house and placed the little boy in it. After arming himself with the baby monitor, he returned steadily back to the table and resumed his place next to his wife, placing a kiss on her lips as he did so. Peyton smiled lovingly at him before joining in the conversation at the table.

"Everything ok Hales?" Nathan asked.

Haley smiled and looked around at her family before answering.

"Everything's perfect" she replied.

There you have it! I know it was probably a predictable mushy ending, but I thought that they all deserved it after all the crap I put them through! I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! Please leave one last review and let me know what you thought of the ending!
