—1 month later
Lucas has been away from Peyton (in Charlotte)
Peyton paces back and forth. Anxiety rushes through her. She wishes she could turn back time and forget what happened. She realized time was up and looked at the test. It was positive.
Lucas and Nathan are getting the whole basketball team to sign the basketball. Then they will set it on their father's grave
in memory.———————————————————————————————
Haley walks with Brooke. They were talking about their lost love lives and how they would never love again, even though Brooke thinks there is a chance for Haley and Nathan and her (Brooke's) sex life.
Lucas and Nathan just decided to get the cheerleaders to sign it too—they supported the team, all the way.
Lucas goes over Peyton's, expecting her to forgive him for not calling. He knocks on her door, and then realized she was probably in her room, listening to music and opened the door. Peyton was standing right there in the doorway, about to open it. Lucas then was so curious to see what she was doing. She stared at him the way she did before. He looked at her again.
After a moment, she started to tell him. "Lucas, I don't know how to—" She sighed and then spoke again, "I don't know how to say this but I think I'm—" She let out her almost non—existent breath before shortening to a whisper, walking slowly toward Lucas. She stops when she is about an inch away from him. She closes the door behind her and faces Lucas.
He asks, "Peyton, what's wrong? I mean, you can't be."
"I'm two weeks late, Lucas. I took the test and it was positive."
"No, you're not. I've already been through this!"
"Shh, Luke, My dad is home. Wait, you've been through this before?" Peyton gives him a confused look.
"Brooke didn't tell you?"
"Tell me what?"
"That she thought she was pregnant for a time after we had broken up."
"No, she didn't tell me anything about it."
"Well it turned out that those things happen and she wasn't pregnant."
"She never told me anything, Luke. I didn't know."
A beat. "So, are you sure? I mean have you been to a doctor?"
"No, not yet. I was hoping you'd take me."
"Now?"
"Yea."
So the couple drove off in Luke's truck to the nearest clinic and signed up for an appointment.
5 days later
Lucas was anxiously waiting for the test results. His mother suspected something was wrong, but Luke refused to tell her. He didn't want to jeopardize her relationship with Peyton's father.
Karen warned him, "Lucas, whatever it is remember I still love you," as he left for school.
Luke responded, "I know mom, I love you too." As he went to school, he pondered whether Peyton was pregnant, and was constantly thinking what he would do if she was. Then he saw her at school. She had a depressed look on her face and from that moment on, he knew everything would never be the same.
