Hey guys, I have a new story I would like to share with you guys. I watch OTH Monday in I'm not to happy with it. I'm miss Leyton like crazy, I can't believe that they didn't even tell us where Leyton moved to, Why did they move? What are that up to? Is Lucas still writing? They should of give us Leyton lovers something.

Anyways, I decide to try to write my own season seven. I know I have other stories and, I promise I will not give up on them. I just wanted to put out this first chapter to see if you guys wanted me to continue or not.

Here is what you need to know for this story. Leyton did not leave Tree Hill, this story is taking place 14 months in the future. Nathan still in the NBA, Brooke and Julian are together, I'm not to sure if I will be adding the new Dan in yet or not . Lucas is still writing he just finished his sixth book. And Peyton did not give up her label, because honestly I can't believe she would do that. I know been a mom is hard and it takes up a lot of time, but Peyton is a strong women, she could so handle, a career, been a wife, and a mother.

So please let me know what you think or if you want to see something happen. This is short chapter, I just wanted to get it up to see what the response will be. Thanks again and please enjoy.

CHAPTER ONE

Beside you through it all.

This starts off at Jamie's Birthday party. Everything happen expect Jamie didn't get a gift from Lucas.

The party was going great and Jamie was having a great time playing football with his friends and, one of the greatest players of all time Jerry Rice.

Haley and Nathan stood of to the side smiling at their son, as he try to tackle Jerry, but Skillz tripped him.

"So un fair man" Jamie yelled to Skillz from down on the ground.

"Hey, football is a hard game if you can't handled it, go be a cheerleader" Skillz joke, as he helped Jamie up.

"Hey,, cheerleading in not so easy Skillz" Haley yelled, from the side of the yard.

"Whatever Hales" Skillz yelled back, laughing at her.

"It is hard" she poured.

"Yeah I know babe" Nathan said, as he kissed her forehead. "I really thought Lucas would be here by now"

"Yeah me to" Haley said with a sigh," He is on the road so much with the new book, I feel bad for Peyton. It has to be hard for her, running the label, and been mommy and daddy to Sawyer."

"Yeah, but you and Mia help with the label, Brooke loves watching Sawyer, so does Skillz, I wish I was able to help more"

"Oh honey, you do help. Peyton is thankful that you include Sawyer when you are spending time with Jamie. And yeah Mia and I do what we can, just like Brooke & Julian and Skillz, But we are not Lucas, she needs her husband to."

"I kn......." Nathan begin but stopped at the sound of Jamie's voice.

"UNCLE LUCAS, YOU MADE IT" Jamie yelled, as he flew across the yard.

"Well, I guess someone missed me huh?" Lucas joked, as he picked up his nephew.

"I did, I really did, now what did you get me" he asked, all excited

"OH, I see you only want your present. you didn't miss me" he said, acting like he was hurt

"I did miss you uncle Lucas, but I really want to open up my present aunt Peyton said, I had to wait till you got here."

"She did, did she" Jamie nodded, "Go get" Lucas said, as he sat Jamie back on the ground,

"Where were you?" Haley asked, as her and Nathan walked over to him.

"Well nice to see you to Hales?" He said, as he rolled his eyes, he knew that everyone was going to be upset that he was five hours late.

"Sorry Luke, I just missed you" she said, as she hugged him, "I'm glad you finally made it"

"Yeah man, I feel like we haven't see each other in years" Nathan joked, as he pulled his brother into a hug. With both brother on the road so much there hasn't been very much brother time for them.

" Yeah I know, I'm sorry I'm late the plane was delay in Texas for two hours, and then we got delay in Tennessee, for about forty five minutes. I'm just glad to be home for a couple of days." he smiled, at the two. Haley looked at Nathan with a confused look. Nathan just shrug his shoulders.

"A couple of days, Peyton said that you were back for awhile." Haley asked. She was curious to why he was only home for the weekend.

"Yeah that's what I thought, but Lindsey and I thought it would be good to do a tour in Canada, We have never done one there. It will be different, I'm kinda excited about it" He said, smiling

"Wow" was all they could say they were both happy for him. but they was more worried about Peyton's reaction. She was so happy this morning, when she came in the office. She told Haley that she made plans for the three of them this weekend so they could be a family. And Monday Brooke was going to keep Sawyer for a couple of nights so Peyton and Lucas could have some alone time. This was definitely going to change, her plans now.

"So where is my two girls, with Brooke" He asked, as he looked around the yard. He was missing them so much. He couldn't wait to see them. He felt bad that he was missing out on Sawyer life. She was already 14 months, Lucas loved showing pictures of his little girl to all the fans who asked about his family. Sawyer was a picture of Peyton with her curly hair and Lucas blue eyes.

"They went home about two hours ago" Nathan said,

"oh" he said in a disappointed voice. "I thought she would at least wait till I got here"

"She wanted to, but Sawyer had a little to much birthday cake"

"Yeah she helped herself to half the cake, it was really cute, you should of seen her. Wait I took a picture" Haley said, as she pulled out her iphone." Look" she said, giving Lucas her phone

Lucas smiled, as he starred at the picture of his little girl's beautiful face covered in white and red icing. "yeah that's cute" he whispered, this was what he was missing, the cute things that little kids do. He was missing out on all of Sawyer's big moment, he wasn't even there when she took her first step. He had to watch her walk for the first time on a video that Peyton sent him.

"Thanks uncle Lucas" Jamie yelled, as he ran over to the three adults

Lucas smiled down, at him." Your welcome J-Luke, I hope you in enjoy that as much as I did when I was your age. "

"So great uncle Kieth gave this to you"

"Yeah he did" he smiled, remembering the day Kieth gave it to him. "That ball was my best friend, till your mom enter my life" he looked over at a teary eyed Haley, she always got misty eyed when Kieth's name was mention.

"Mom, can daddy and uncle Lucas and I, go to the river court, I want to test out this old ball" Jamie said, as he tossed the ball to Lucas.

"I don't see why not?" Haley said, looking up at Nathan who winked at her.

"I'm sorry J-Luke, I kinda want to go home in see Sawyer and aunt Peyton, it been a month. I miss them. It that okay" Lucas said, hopping he didn't disappoint him. He just really wanted to hold his daughter and kiss his wife, it has been way to long since he has kissed his wife. Yeah they talked every night and did video chats. so Sawyer could see him, but it just wasn't the same, as touching them.

"Yeah sure I know how Sawyer feels," Jamie said, as he looked over at Nathan who gave him a sad look.

"Thanks little man"" Lucas said, as he handed Haley back her phone and, tossed the ball to Nath."I can't wait to tell Peyton my news, she is going to be so happy for me"

"Yeah she will, we all are Luke" Haley said. " Bye, give Sawyer a kiss for us"

"I will" he said, as he jogged to his car. With a huge smile on his face like a kid on Christmas morning. He could wait to get home to see his family.


If was a little ever eight when Lucas finally made it home. Still wearing a huge smile, as he got out of his car. He quietly walked in the back door, the house was dark expected for a light that was on in the living room. He stopped at Sawyer's room, he open the door, their she was asleep in her bed. He stepped quietly over to her. She was spread out on the bed, like she was just so ware out. She wearing a Dora the explore purple night gown.

Lucas kneel now, and gently touched her check. "God you getting so big" he said, as he watched her for a moment. He looked around the room, noticing new picture of Sawyer and Nathan and Jamie. A picture of her in a raven jersey with Skllz holding her on his shoulder. He was really missing a lot, but he knew he had to keep doing the book tours. He wants to be able to give her whatever she wants.

He looks back down at her, "Daddy loves you baby girl" he whispered, as he kissed her forehead, then covered her up with her pink Dora blanket. He then walked out of her room, in search of his wife.

He found his beautiful wife also asleep, she was sleeping on the couch. She was still wear her clothes, and had her shoes on still. There was two stack of cd on the coffee table, so she must of been going through demo's. She looked exhausted, so Lucas smiled, as he picked her up. Carrying her bridal style to their room.

As he laid her on their bed, she started to wake up. "Hey" she whispered, "Your home"

"Yeah I'm home" he said, as he kicked off his shoes, then climb on the other side of the bed, his side of the bed.

"I missed you" she said, as she turn to face him. She felt like this was a dream, like she was going to wake up, anytime now. And he wouldn't be here.

"I missed you to baby" he says lovingly while pushing a strand of hair off her face and caressing her cheek. "God I missed you" he kisses her, his tongue graze her lips begging entrance into her mouth which. Peyton eagerly accept, his tongue shoots out to meet her, as they deepen their kiss, not able to get enough of each other. It was that moment she realized this wasn't a dream, he was here with her, kissing her. It has been a month since they have shared a kiss like this, with so much love and passion.

Lucas' hands run up and down her sides, Peyton's hands running up and down his back. They both have news to share with each other, but they both have missed been with each other in this intimate way. So the continue to kiss and explore each other body like it was their first time all over again.

Their news would just have to wait till tomorrow. They both thought, as they started to make love.
