Hiya, first fan fic for me. I hope ya'll like it. Okay, so it's their first year of college. Brooke and Jake are married, and Jenny is Brooke's biological daughter. Luke has published 'Ravens'. Brooke, Peyton, Nathan, and Jake live in Los Angeles. They all go to UCLA. Haley and Lucas live in Tree Hill still.
"What's the room number for-" But he was cut off by the loud yell of Brooke. Sheepishly he walked over to her, "Hey, Brooke." He said hugging her.
But she rejected the hug, "Where the hell have you been!? She's been asking for you for like 2 hours, and she practically broke Jake's hand."
"Not practically, she did." Jake said as he came and stood behind, Brooke. "Dude, please get in there, I don't think Lucas can handle her much longer."
"Luc's here?" They nodded. "Oh, I'm surprised he got away from, Lindsey. What room is she in?"
Brooke smiled, "Yeah, I'm shocked the man faced bitch let him out the house, oh and she's in room 1223. She decided of all days she wants to be a bitch so watch out."
"Good luck, man" Jake said giving him a guy hug.
Brooke hugged him too, "Hurry up, so I can be a godmother."
"Jake, can I talk to you real quick?" Nathan asked uneasily. Jake nodded his head pressing a chaste kiss to Brooke's cheek he followed Nate. He waited until they were alone, when he pulled out a small black box.
Jake shook his head, "I'm flattered but, Nate I'm married and daughter. Plus, I just don't swing that way." He said laughing a little.
"Funny." he said sarcastically. "I want to propose to her, I want me and her to be together again. But, I don't want to do it if she's gonna say no. I mean the last time we were together, we kinda both broke each others heart."
Placing a hand on his shoulder, "You really think she'll say no? That girl loves you. You aren't doing this cuz she's having the baby?"
Shaking his head, "No. That's part of the reason, but I really do love her."
"Then go be with your girl. Go man." Jake said pushing him in the direction of her room.
Nathan ran down the hallway to his girl's room. He was anxious, but nervous. His life had changed so much since junior year, when he emancipated from his family. Life was hard back then, but it was so much easier then what it is now. He was about to become a father. He always thought he become one, but it came sooner than he thought.
Junior year he never thought he'd get married, or that his brother would join the basketball team and they become close like they are. He didn't think him and Peyton would stay as close as they did but eventually getting closer. He didn't think his best friend, would make Brooke Davis, now Jakelski settle down.
But he really didn't expect he'd be a father at nineteen.
Everything that had happen this last year, was so unexpected. He didn't get excepted to Duke, but got a full ride to UCLA.. Haley had went on tour, and came back mid senior year. They got a divorce, but they managed to get along again.
He became a godfather to Jenny, Brooke and Jake's daughter, they had junior year. He was also Jake's best man at his wedding.
He and Peyton, were good friends. When Haley left to go to tour, she had been his crutch. He tried to spend as much time with her as he could, even though she was dating Luc. And ever since he had moved to Los Angeles, him and Peyton had became closer as friends.
Way closer than, they ever were.
Los Angeles could be cold sometimes, and the college life was tough. The lonely nights, eating take out Chinese food, and watching re-runs on television shows he watched as a kid. And with out Peyton, he would have hit insanity.
She had been there, when Deb went into rehab again right before the championship game. She'd been there to bail him out of jail the few times he was in there. Giving him words of encouragement, and setting him straight when needed.
But he was there for her too.
When Ellie came, and died he was there. School shooting he was there with her as she almost bled to death on the library carpet. He was there when 'Ian' said he was her brother. And he was there, when Lucas proposed, and she said someday. Not no.
And now he was here with her, while she's about to give birth to their child.
He was having a kid.
A kid with Peyton Sawyer.
He turned the corner just as Lucas was coming out the room. He came up and hugged Nathan, in a brotherly manner, "Go make me a uncle, man." He said with a smiled as he walked off.
Taking a deep breath, he stepped into the room. Leaning against the doorway, he watched as she laid her hands on her stomach smiling at something. She looked like an angel, her blonde hair making a halo over her head. Given the circumstances she looked peaceful.
Until she had a contraction.
Instincts kicked in as he jumped towards her, until he saw the look she gave. He took a step back, regaining his composure he started towards her again. Sitting in the seat beside her he grabbed her hand, as she squeezed it.
Peyton turned her head and looked at him, "You came." She said tiredly.
"Of course I'd come. I wouldn't miss this for the world." He fluffed her pillow, and fixed the blanket. He got up, and made sure everything was alright. "You okay? Ya need anything?"
She laughed, "I'm fine, as of right now. But you really need to calm down, or I'm gonna start freaking out too."
"I'm not freaking out." His voice squeaked . He stood from the chair, "It's not everyday you become a father. And your best friend is having the baby, and it's also not everyday you figure out you're in love with her too." He said slowly. "It's just Peyton, these past months have been tough. We've been together in this the whole time. Over the time I've fallen in love with you again." Laughing nervously, "I guess I never stopped loving you. I love you so much, Peyt." Smiling, "I do."
She smiled, "Nathan, I - Ow!" She exclaimed, trying to reach for his hand. Quickly he sat back down next to her, and held her hand. Helping her with her breathing.
The doctor walked in, "Well, looks like Mr. Scott could join us." Nathan smiled at the him before going back to Peyton. " It seems your contractions are getting closer, we're going to prep you for delivery now. I'll be back soon, to wheel you to the delivery room."
Those next few minutes were the longest few minutes of his life. Peyton was just about to say I love you, to him. But man this kid had a way with timing already. The team of doctor and nurses came and wheeled her to the delivery room, and he hadn't left her side.
"Okay Ms. Sawyer, I need you to start pushing." The doctor said.
Leaning into her ear, "Come on Peyton, push baby, push." Squeezing his hand, she pushed. And before she knew it she could hear the cries of her baby.
"Congratulations, you have a healthy baby boy." He said lifting him up. Wrapping him up in a blanket they handed him to Peyton.
Nathan smiled, "I have a son, we have a son." He said kissing her forehead than his sons.
"You're a daddy." She cried. She looked up and he leaned down and kissed her, it wasn't passionate though, it was like a thank you kiss. She didn't say anything to him about it, but looked down at her son, "Welcome to the world, Elliot Davis Scott."
The doctors and nurses left the room, leaving the small 'family' alone. Nathan had gotten onto the bed with Peyton, an arm wrapped securely around her and his son. Son, he had a son. He had black hair, and blue eyes. He wondered if they would stay that color. But, he was hoping he would have green like Peyton's, though.
He was kind of shock when she said Scott, for his last name. He thought they agreed on hyphening it, but he loved that she choose Scott. He loved her, and his son too.
Brooke, barged into the room followed by Jake and Lucas. "I'm sorry, I couldn't wait any longer. Oh, he's so cute." She gushed as she walked over by the bed.
Jake stood by Nathan, and clapped him on the back, "Good job, Nate. Kid's cute."
"He's adorable, you guys." Lucas said. "What's his name?"
"Elliot Davis Scott." They both said. "But we're gonna call him, Eli." Nathan said.
Brooke's face brightened up, "Really, you guys I feel so special."
"You should." Nathan teased. "But, seriously we thought Davis was a strong name, and it also came from his Godmother so it makes it even better of a name."
Brooke skipped over and hugged Nathan, than ran back over and hugged Peyton too. Jake laughed at his wife. "Jake, we want you to be his Godfather." Peyton said. Jake smile got even bigger, as he mouthed thank you.
Everyone had left, and it was just the three of them again. Peyton had fallen asleep, giving Nathan alone time with his boy. "Hey buddy, it's your daddy. Remember, I was the one always getting yelled at." Eli, smile softly. "So, listen my dad wasn't the best dad, but he's been trying even more lately. But, I don't wanna be that kind of dad. I'm always gonna be here for you Eli. You're my son, and I'm your dad. I'm gonna protect you, okay." He walked over by the seat by the window and sat down with his son. "Let me tell you about your mom. She's incredible. We aren't married, but I hope to change that. I love her, and I know she loves you too. She's gonna be a great mom. I just hope, I'll be a good enough dad."
"You are a great dad already." She said quietly from the bed, he got back up and sat down by her. He placed Eli, back in her hands. "Earlier, before the delivery I was gonna tell you something." Nathan looked up at her, " I love you too, Nate. I think I've always been."
He smiled, and leaned down to kiss her. He pulled back, and drop to one knee. "I know this is unexpected, but God I love you Peyt. And I'm not doing this cause you had our son, it's apart of the reason why. But, I love you and I want to be with you forever." Pulling out a ring from his pockets he asked, "So, Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer will you marry me?"
Here she was again, being proposed too. By yet another Scott boy. Nine months to this day, Lucas was proposing to her, and she had said someday. But that someday eventually turned into never. And she never wanted that to happen again.
To be in love, and have him break her heart all over again.
But with Nathan he showed he cared, and if she so happened to say no, he wouldn't leave her. He would stay. But for how long?
They have a son, and ever since she held him not that long ago he had become her top priority. Any and everything about him was first. She could wait.
And if she had to wait on finding love, and getting married....than so be it.
Thinking about whether to say yes or no, the last nine months replayed in her head. The ups and downs, mostly downs. She saw nothing good from it. Besides having Eli. And Nathan being there for her.
So maybe saying yes, would be good.
But then again, she didn't know what was to be expected.
Okay. If you have any questions, you can ask in a review. Hoped you enjoyed!
