A/n: thanks for reading my story you're a star

Summary: what happens when Peyton finds out she pregnant with Lucas's baby will she pack her bags and leave for good?

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from one tree hill.

Lucas came into the café after practise. He was tired and not in the mood for anyone but Peyton wanted him. But he promised Haley they'd spend some quality Haley/Lucas time together he hated it when he had to choose between his best friend and his secret girlfriend.

Hi

Hey Luke

Hales look I'm sorry but Peyton wants to talk to me and I think its urgent can we arrange for another time.

Oh ok well I guess I have ditched you a lot for Nathan so… is she ok?

I don't know she seemed upset I'd better go round there & see

Ok I'll call you

Lucas got into his car and drove round to Peyton's.

Lucas knocked on the door.

I'm so sorry Luke but we need to talk.

Ok go ahead what's wrong?

You no that time when we went to that party & we realised that we're meant for each other?

Yea and we ended up back here I don't know where your going

Lucas can't you see what I'm saying?

Nope look Peyton say what you have got to say you can tell me anything

Luke I'm…

Peyton's phone began to ring.

(To Lucas) hold on

Hello

Hello is that Peyton Sawyer?

Yes can I help?

Well yes we have Mr Sawyer here he had a nasty fall at work & we need his next of kin here is it possible that you could come down

Yes of course I'll be there in a min.

Peyton you ok?

Its my dad he's had I fall I got to go to the hospital I'm sorry wait here

No I'm coming with you grab your coat and I'll drive.

Lucas grabbed he's keys and started the car. The journey was awkward and full of silence, both didn't dare to break the silence.

I believe my dad was brought in.

Ok what's his surname?

Sawyer Tim Sawyer

A nurse will be with you in a second please take a seat.

Both went to sit down. But this time Lucas could break the silence.

It'll be all right Peyton he'll be ok honest

Luke how do you know that? What if he dies?

Peyton you don't know how serious the injuries are they could be minor

But what if they are major what if…

Peyton don't fear the worst

Hello you must be Miss Saunders.

Yes that's me. Is my dad all right is he going to die?

He's injuries are fatal but he is conscious his head had been seriously knocked and he doesn't look good so please keep that in mind!

Can I see him?

Yes of cause come rite this way.

They followed the nurse in what seemed to be they longest walk in life not knowing what to expect a couple of bruises or her dad hooked up to loads of machines what would she expect?

Ok his just in there

Will he be able to hear me?

Yes he will but he can't speak and his eyes can't fully open either. (To Lucas) sorry are you a relative?

No no I'm not I'm just here to support Peyton

I'm afraid you're going to have to wait out here for the moment.

I won't be long I promise

Take as long as you want Peyton.

Peyton walked into the room where her dad was she saw him lying there helplessly hooked up to the many machines the nurse explained what each was but Peyton wasn't concentrating al she could think about is how could anyone let this happen to such an innocent man?

I know you're not a relative to either of them but she needs your love and support right now and to be honest the doctors don't think that he will make a full recovery. I'm sorry but you need to be there for Peyton she needs you more than ever before.

I'm there for her I always will be thank you.

Lucas sat down on the floor and waited for Peyton. 2 hours later she came through the doors. (Crying)

Peyton what's wrong

Peyton ran off in tears. Lucas followed the hurting women

Peyton come here she went to him and hugged him for a good few mins what's wrong hey (he wiped the tears form her face)

He's dead Luke he's dead.

Oh no come here (still hugging) we can get through this we can

Peyton pulled away

No we won't Luke cos there is no us there never will be either

Peyton ran. Lucas ran after her

Peyton wait Peyton.

Peyton turned around

What do you mean me & you have been sleeping together for weeks there is me & you I want there to be a Lucas & Peyton I want it to carry on forever.

Yea well there never will be because every time we try to make this work we keep it a secret & then we lie to our friends and I hate having to do that.

Well we will tell people if that's what you want Peyton I'll do anything for you I mean that.

Really you really mean it?

I've never meant anything more in my life!

They kissed

Lets go come on where u wants to go?

I just want to go home will you come with me?

Of cause Peyt, I will I'm here for you now I'll always be here for you no matter what happens

They got into the car & drive off whilst in the car… Hey what was that important thing you needed to talk about anyway?

It doesn't matter at all not one bit

It must have been important though

Not as important as this.

They arrived at the house (still in the car)

Luke I thought I could handle this but I can't I just can't going in there knowing my dad will never enter that house again knowing he's not going to be here ever again Luke take me somewhere else please.

Don't worry I no where we can go

Lucas drove them to a motel.

We here we'll spend tonight here then think about tomorrow when tomorrow arrives.

Lets go.

In the motel

I'll ring my mom tell her I'll be spending the night here with you

Ok

Lucas talked to his mom on the phone whilst he is talking he realises that Peyton had something in a bag that she keeps on holding he saw her go into the bathroom and wonders what it is. He got off the phone with his mom. Walked to the bathroom door but it was locked. What was Peyton hiding?

Peyton are you in there

Yea I won't be a minute.

What are you doing in there?

Just doing my make-up

But you haven't brought any.

Well I don't feel very well.

Peyton can u just open the door please

Ok, Luke

She opened the door. Lucas went in he could see she was shaking.

So what have you been doing in here?

Umm

She ran to the counter she tried to grab something. But Lucas gets there first.

What's this? Is this a

Yes it is

Well is it mine?

No, no it isn't I'm here as I said before I'm here now & I always will be don't worry me and you will work this thing out together I will never leave I'm not Dan.

I'm so sorry Luke I really am.

No your not sorry you've got nothing to be sorry about this is my fault if anyone's. There's no need to be afraid because I'm here for you now and always.

Thanks Luke I wish I'd of told you before now.

When did you find out?

About a week ago.

You wanted to be certain then?

I've been in denial about it.

When is your scan?

It's tomorrow at 11am.

I'm coming to support you and the baby I want to be there for you.

Thanks Luke.

Ok well I'm pretty tired so I'm going to hit the bed.

Ok I'll be there soon.

Lucas walked over to the bed he lay on the bed thinking about what he's going to do how was he gona tell his mom? Would he be able to carry on with basketball? Peyton came over and lied next to him. He could see she'd been crying, he wanted so badly just to hug Peyton and tell her that everything would be ok but they both knew that nothing was ok will probably never be ok.

Hey Peyton you ok?

Yea I'll be fine I just need some sleep

Ok night (he leaned over to kiss Peyton he felt the softness of her lips)

The next morning Lucas came out of the bathroom, looking like a reck. His eyes were sore from the lack of sleep he looked awful.

Its ok I wasn't asleep

You ready?

As ready as I'll ever be

Lucas had a flashback and remembers when Brooke thought she was pregnant he remembered about his mom how she hit him and said that he was stupid maybe this time it would be different he thought I'm older now I'm starting college in 4 weeks I can look after a baby & Peyton maybe mom won't mind after all

Ok let's go

They got in the car & drove it was silent at first there was tension could Lucas really be able to manage this?

After the hospital we've got to tell my mom is that ok

Peyton: you don't have to ask my permission but yea cause you can will you drop me at off at Brooke's

Yea sure great you get to have fun well I go and face the demon!

She can't be that bad surely?

Nah she's not that bad.

They arrive at the hospital

Where do we have to go?

To the maternity ward

Ok let's go

They walked hand in hand to the ward. They both felt embarrassed they could see people looking at them then whispering something to the person next to them.
