Hey Guys, I have a new story, Yes I'm aware of the ones I have in progress, I will be updating them. I'm kind of stuck on Prefect Match, but I am working on it. Hoping to have an update soon.
Anyways, here's a little 411 on my new story, Everything up to 4x6 happen. Except, Naley didn't get pregnant in season four, So Brooke knows of Peyton's feeling for Luke, but Peyton never told Luke she loved him that night, so they never got together. Lucas never wrote a book, Peyton did go to LA, but then came back, Lucas and Peyton friendship stay strong. I think all other questions will be answered as I go on.
A Baby Changes Everything.
Chapter 1
"Hey J. Luke , how does a sandwich sound to you?"
"A sandwich with chocolate?" the kid asked hopeful, taking his eyes off the TV, for a quick second
"If you want." she answered, with a shy smile.
Sometimes, being around Jamie, hurt just too much, It reminded her that she wasn't a mother and probably never will be . It made her feel empty, she just turn thirty, and she is still single and childless. Yes, she was happy career wise. Her label was the third in the state, her artists were climbing the charts daily. She had amazing friends and family, but not a family of her own. Haley and Nathan had Jamie, who was the smarts five-year old she had ever met. Brooke and Julian had Kaylee, an outgoing loveable four-year old and a handsome little boy named Elijah, who just turn one. Both her girlfriends were married and mother's living a great life. Sometime she would feel left out as Haley and Brooke would talk about the crazy things their kids did or said, she would just sit there with a fake smile and giving a little laugh here and there. She was becoming a great actress with them. Pretending to be happy around them was getting harder by the day.
She carefully placed the plate on the coffee table in front of Jamie, who thanked her with a big smile. She smiled back, softly, and moved towards the door again, stopping in the doorway to look at the boy. Nathan was out-of-town and Haley was at a teachers meeting. So she was asked to watch Jamie, which is something that always brought joy to her.
"Can Milo come on the couch, Aunt Peyton? I think he'd like to watch cartoons with me." Jamie asked, as the puppy begged.
"Oh, sure, don't worry. I always let him come on the couch. with me"
She continued to watch him, as she thought about her life and her wants, She has never told any of her friends she wants a family, Well, maybe her longing for a family has disappear, what she really wanted was to be a mom. Then an insane idea popped into her head as she started thinking about a movie she was watching on Lifetime the other night. she smiled big as she thought about it, " No, I couldn't" she said to herself , she bit her lip as millions of things started to pop into her head. "Hey J. Luke, I have to make a call, I'll be right back okay?" He nodded, and she grabbed her phone hurrying up upstairs, her body trembling excited.
She dialed the number feverishly. "Luke, I have to ask you a question."
"Are you okay?" he asked in a concern voice.
"Do you think I would be a good mother?"
"Yes, of course"
"Do you think I could do it on my own, you know like a single mother thing?" her knuckles were turning white.
"Peyton..."
"Do you?" she repeated insistently.
"Yes, I do. What's happening, what are you talking about?"
"I-I was watching Jamie , and, I just..."
" Slow down and breathe." he told her, wondering where she was going with all this talk.
She closed her eyes, trying to think of a way to say what she wants to say, " Look, are you busy tonight?"
"No not really Why?"
" Well, Haley is supposed to pick Jamie up at five, so do you think you could come over tonight, I want to talk to you, about something."
" Yeah, I'll be there."
She smiled a nervous smile, " Thank you Lucas, see you tonight." she said in a shaky voice
Lucas picked up her tone, But before he could question it she hung up, leave him wondering what she was up to..
Peyton watches the rain come down, as she stares out the window, seeing it track down the glass. She presses her forehead to the glass and her eyes search for any sign of Lucas's car. She wondered where he could be its a little after eight, Lucas is never late when she asks him to come over. Lucas Scott was like her best guy friend, he was her hero, always saving her. He was always the one she called, he always knows how to fix her problems. Though Peyton doesn't want to admit it, her feelings for Lucas are still there, Something about his eyes and his smile make her weak in the knees.
The rain is easing up a little, so she decides to go sit in the swing on the front porch and wait for him. She swings gently for a while, finally dozing off, as the rain patters down harder outside the porch. She finally looks up, as headlights sweep across the yard, and Lucas's car pulls into the driveway.
. "Why are you sitting outside in the rain,?" he says, wiping his wet hair out of his eyes. The rain has soaked his t-shirt, plastering it to his body, and she has a hard time not staring at him.
"Um, waiting for you," she finally manages to say. " Your late?"
He sits down beside her, " Sorry, I was at tric lost track of time."
' What was so important at Tric, that made you forget about me?" she asked in hurt voice, with a fake frown.
" First off, nothing in this world is more important to me then you, Ms Peyton Sawyer." his voice full of honesty. She blushed a little, she hated how his words made her weak to. Sometime he reminded her of the boy their junior year, who wanted everything with her. A time that she wished she could live over. they swing quietly for a few minutes. " But Bevin and Skillz were celebrating, "
" celebrating what?"
" Bevin finally got pregnant, so in about eight months we're going to have a little Taylor baby, I can..." He stopped when he noticed the look in her eyes. " Hey, you okay?"
She looked up at him, " Yeah, just a little shocked, guess I need to call them later." she wanted to be happy, truly she did. But now everyone but Mia and Chase were going to be parents, Life just kept getting more unfair.
Lucas stands up and holds his hand out to her. "C'mon, let's go in, it's damp out here and I'm soaking wet." After a moment of hesitation, she takes his hand and lets him pull her to her feet. She stands up too quickly and loses her balance, tipping over against him. He instinctively takes her arms to steady her, pressing her against his body. Shock waves run through her at the sudden contact of his lean body against hers so intimately. She tilts her face up to him in the dim light, and their eyes meet. For an insane moment, he looks like he is going to kiss her, the surprise in his eyes mixing with something else. Then there is an unexpected crack of thunder, and she jumps back, heart racing.
"Sorry, Luke," she says. "Lost my balance. Let's get inside, it sounds like the storm is getting closer."
As they go inside, there is a flash of lightning, and another crack of thunder shakes the house. "Go get a towel," she says, heading for the kitchen. "I'll get us a beer." Peyton is still feeling hot and flustered from their embrace, berating herself for being so silly. It's just Lucas, after all. Get ahold of yourself Peyton. if you want things to go as planned, you can't let him see you doubting yourself.
They sit on her couch, sipping their beers,. " So you want to finish that conversation you started earlier?"
She nodded "I was baby sitting Jamie today and well not just today for a while now,..." she trailed off, Lucas looked at her confusedly, hoping she would go on. " I want a baby." she `blurted out
"You're not thinking about kidnapping him, right? Because you sound a little crazy at the moment." He teased, not really knowing what she wanted him to say.
She punches his shoulder. "Lucas! No, and I'm not crazy!"
"Hey!" He massages his shoulder, and makes a grab for her hand. " You want a family Peyton that makes sense."
" No, I don't know, about the family part, I just want a baby,".
"You mean adoption?" He asked as he took a sip of his beer.
She bit her lip, " Adoptions take to long Lucas," she sighed, " I've looked into them, and a lot of the agency prefer you to be married. And that's not going to happen anytime soon."
" You want me to marry you so you can adopted a baby?" he asked with a smirk, She knows his smirk is a teasing one, but the tone of his voice seemed serious.
She shakes her head, " No, I don't want to get married,,I just want a baby, so I thought...
" You thought what?"
She took a deep breath. " Lucas I know we are really good friends, and I value our friendship more than you could ever understand, I love how close we are, your like my second best friend. And I don't want to lose you, I need you in life. "
He smiled, " Same here, I don't want to lose what we have either, I promise no matter whatever happens you and I will always remain friends. I need you as much as you need me."
He had her heart beating fast again, " Okay, I need to ask you a favor, kind of." she said, as she pushed herself to tell him.
" You can ask me anything Peyton, you know that I would do anything for you. I promise whatever it is I'll do it."
She swallowed hard, not to sure he was going to be able to keep that promise. " I want a baby?" she repeated, she closed her eyes, just say it Peyton, just let it out. She opened her eyes, locking them with his baby blue ones, " I want you to get me pregnant"
