"Are you ok P. Sawyer?" Brooke asked. "You look a little pale."
"I'm fine, just a little run down. Work has been so busy with Mia back in town"
"Are you sure?"
"Positive Brooke. Don't worry about me."
The truth was Peyton was feeling very off over the last few weeks. It immediately came to her mind, cancer. She had lost Ellie to the disease and Ellie once said that it could be genetic. Just the thought terrified her.
"Maybe I should get checked out", she thought.
Wondering if she should tell Lucas about her possible suspicion she decided to wait and get checked out. After all she was getting way ahead of herself; she probably just caught a bug or something. She always thought of the worse.
"Peyton Sawyer, the doctor will see you now", the nurse said
Peyton walked into the doctor's office hoping that her suspicions were dead on wrong.
"Hello, Miss Sawyer."
"Hello"
"What seems to be the problem today?"
"Umm…I've been feeling really run down and tired lately and a little dizzy. It's been for about a week and a half now. I just want to get checked out."
"Alright, since you are a new patient can I just have a little family history for your record?"
"Sure."
"Are you married?"
"Not yet, engaged."
"Congrats."
"Thank you"
"Do you have any illnesses as of now?"
"No."
"Do you have a family history of any illnesses? Diabetes, Heart Disease, Cancer?
"My mother died of breast cancer about 5 year's ago." she said as the doctor scribbled something down on the clipboard.
"Do you drink?"
"Once in a while but not much."
"Any allergies?"
"Umm, penicillin."
"Are you sexually active?"
"Yes"
"When was your last period?"
"Umm, I'm going to say about 6 weeks ago but I am usually irregular."
"For now I am going to recommend that you get some rest. You look exhausted. I want to run a blood test to make sure everything is ok. If you feel the same at the end of the week come see me again."
"Ok, thank you."
"Hi, it's Dr. Winters from Tree Hill Memorial."
"Oh, hi doctor." Peyton said,
"We have your blood test results back." The doctor said as Peyton listened and nodded.
"Did anything look unusual?"
"We did find something."
"Is it cancer? I have been really worried that it is. My mother's cancer could possibly be genetic."
"You are not sick Peyton; in fact you are perfectly healthy."
"Ok then why are you calling?"
"Miss Sawyer you are expecting a baby. You're pregnant?"
"What?" she said as she almost dropped the phone.
"You are pregnant, congratulations."
"Are you sure? Could this be wrong?"
"Its 100 accurate."
"Ok. Thank you."
"Would you like to make an appointment to get yourself checked out?"
"I can't right now but I will call back later."
"Take care Miss Sawyer."
"You too."
Peyton leaned back in her chair and thought about how this news would change her life forever. She was pregnant. Pregnant!
This had seriously been the farthest thing from her mind. It didn't even occur to her. How could she have missed this?
It was a miracle, and she truly believed that. Ever since knowing Jenny she knew she would love to be a mother one day. Who knew someday would come so soon?
On the other hand she was terrified. Scared out of her skin. So many questions ran through her head.
"How should I tell Lucas?"
"What if he isn't happy?"
"What if she is a horrible mother?"
"What if the baby hates her?"
"What if Lucas went back to Lindsey?" This has been an insecurity in the back of her mind for months. How could it not be when Lucas said "I do to her just earlier in the year."?
But deep down she knew that Lucas and her would last this time, nothing would come between them.
She was going to have the family she never had. But that didn't make the fact that her and Lucas were going to bring a child into this crazy world any less scary.
I''m sorry there was no LP or Julian in this chapter but there will be in the next. I felt it was important to get this info out of the way first. Please Review. - Alyssa
