Today was the day we finally get to move to Texas and start over. I wake up my kids and they toss and turn as they moan not wanting to get up all except Madison of course, she was just like me the biggest morning person you'll meet and the sweetheart, Sirena on the other hand can always get an attitude of course. We make sure we're packed up and start putting everything in the trucks. Sirena, Collin, and Madison all had their little backpack carrying the very important stuff of theirs and they gently toss it in the trunk. We then put the kids in the car and head inside to say goodbye to the house we raised our kids in. We go inside and I wanted to tear up already it was so emotional you could see Cody was about to cry as well. I hug him and say "babe if you want I'll drive" and he hugs back and says "no it's okay it's just wow our first home together where we created these 4 amazing kids" I then say "don't jinx the fourth one" we giggle then kiss and walk outside of the house ready to leave. Cody and I were driving and we call everyone to make sure that they were in their way as well, the first one to answer was Dalton and he was with Peyton, Elizabeth, and Olivia saying goodbye at Peyton's apartment to all of them.   

Dalton's POV 

I was saying goodbye to my sister plus Elizabeth and Olivia I was a wreck inside but managed to control it on the outside. Everyone seemed so upset but we knew we'd see each other in a year and during the holidays. I end my goodbye with Peyton and end up hugging her for the longest time I knew I was going to miss her but it was time for a new start. I make my way out of the apartment and now Olivia and Elizabeth could have their own room. As I was walking out I saw Bella which was Ally's dog and I knew that if I tilted my head up just a little my heart would shatter and I would not be able to continue so I look away and make my way to the other direction.

Ally was the last person I expected to see but with my luck of course she'd be here. I get in the car drive past her and shed a tear, I still love her but that thought will live in obscurity. I think of Emma and she reminds me of Ally in different small ways. Emma is the nicest person you'll ever meet and had a little rough side that will forever hide in the shadows unless you make her bring it out, Ally was not as kind as Emma but she was really sweet and could be kind of rue as well. Emma's smile lit up the entire room and Ally had this smile that made you want to smile even if there was no reason for you to do so. My relationship with Emma was always amazing she loved me and cared for me always since day one and Ally was the same way. I know I'll move on but today was not the day.

Peyton's POV

Saying goodbye to Dalton was the hardest thing I've done in a while I lived with him for a while and after Emma and Kyle left he and I got really close and he was my partner in crime and seeing him leave opened my eyes and I saw that it was happening. I stay here with Olivia and Elizabeth but Olivia plans on living here for as long as she can and Elizabeth heads to Texas in two months while I'm here for another year. I wasn't happy about not seeing everyone for a while but I was always independent and if I get lonely I remember I have Ian. Watching my little brother get smaller and smaller into the distance was hard but what was harder for me was knowing Ian wanted a family and I couldn't give him the one he wanted. I go back inside and there was Elizabeth and Olivia inside sitting watching tv then I hear Elizabeth ask "so why don't you move in with Ian already? I mean you guys are married" and I say "he has some family issues he's working out all I know is that he said he doesn't want me seeing it". Ian loved making it look like his family was happy for the sake of everyone else but I knew they weren't as perfect as they sounded.

I join Elizabeth and Olivia and all of a sudden we hear a knock on the door and I knew it was Ian by the knock. I go let him in and the first thing he says is "hey babe I need to go wash my hands there was a problem in the car's engine I'll be right back". I close the door behind him and Olivia then says "so how many kids did he say he wanted?" and as I sit I say "he wanted 3-4 and I can't believe I can't give it to him". Before Olivia could say anything there was another knock on the door and I go answer it again. I open the door and it was an older guy in a suit and all he said was "you must be Peyton". I was shocked at the fact that he knew my name so I say "I am" waiting for him to introduce himself and all he says is "you're beautiful" and I say "thank you, um I'm sorry who are you?" and before he says anything I hear Ian yelling in the background saying "what the hell are you doing here" and he says "I know you asked me not to come but I couldn't help myself". I turn to Ian and ask "Ian who is this?" and he says "Peyton this is my dad... my real dad". I step back a little and say "what? what do you mean your real dad?" he left me and my mom when I was only two years old and he came back trying to apologize about a month and a half ago" I then say "well if you want to invite him in you can it's your decision". Ian breathes in and after he says "you have ten minutes to say what you need". His dad comes in and says "thank you, I want you to hear me out when I say I came with good intentions". Olivia and Elizabeth go to their rooms to give us space but I'm sure they were still listening". We sit down and Ian says "ok go" and his dad says "your sister is getting married" Ian interrupts him and says "you mean the girl you had with some other women in Maryland? that's not my sister don't call her my sister". Ian's dad stops to hold back hat seemed like a whimper and then says "well Sasha is getting married and she wanted you to be her fiance's best man since he doesn't know anyone here but I guess I know the answer now". I step in and say "Ian I think you should do it babe" and he says "no I won't" and I ask "why?" and then he says "my dad has money when I was seventeen I tried contacting him to pay for my college and do the whole father and son act but he paid Sasha's ok that's fine it's his daughter but also paid Annie and Mitchell"s college too who aren't at all blood related but denied mine, then senior year I invited him to my graduation he went to Annie's instead, finally my damn college graduation I let him know how well I was doing and he never wrote back at all so go ahead and let Sasha know why I'm not going it's been real dad I think you should go". Ian was on the verge of tears I've never seen him so angry and upset he could barely move. Ian's dad then says "very well son thank you for hearing me out" and Ian stays quiet then I say "come on I'll walk you out". I let him out and he says "does he treat you well darling?" and I say "hes the most caring sweetest guy I have ever met" and he says "he acts strong sometimes take care of him as well" and I say "I will" then shut the door as that thought reminded me off kids and how Ian may be putting up a front. 

I walk over to Ian and say "babe I'm so sorry you know if you would've just told me I would've understood" and he says "I just didn't want to have you involved in this mess as he lets a tear out. I go hug him and say "your dad did say one thing that's true you try acting tough for the sake of others and I want to know does it hurt you that I can't have kids do you still want to be with me after hearing that?" and he then looks at me pulls me closer and then wraps his arms around me saying "Peyton don't you ever think that, does it upset me you can't have kids? of course it's normal to be upset about that who wouldn't be but you are the best thing that has ever happened to me the day you walked into my life I didn't want to let go". I look at him and I wanted to cry as well here I am trying to comfort me and he being the amazing person he is ends up comforting me. I kiss him and we end up cuddling again trying to feel better then I see Olivia and Elizabeth peaking around the corner and I say "you guys can come on out" and Ian says "what do you guys think about a surrogate?" and Elizabeth says "could work but that's a lot of money for the big family you want" and I say "wait I know you guys want to resolve this problem but I just don't want to talk about it right now" we all then lay together and just talk about life it felt amazing.
