"Hey Lucas, hurry up! The doctor won't wait all day!" Peyton laughed.
"I am coming, I am coming! So do you think this is a 'fatherly' looking shirt?" he asked.
"Lucas, the doctor isn't going to care if you look 'fatherly'! But yes, you look like the sexiest father I have ever seen," she said and pulled his shirt so that she could kiss his lips.
"Mmm…are you sure we don't have an extra…"
"No, Lucas! Besides I don't know what kind of tests the doctor needs to run…we can't be doing that!" she giggled.
"Hmmm….ok but you owe me…So since Sam came back yesterday, do you think we should tell Brooke our good news?" he asked as he grabbed his coat. Peyton quickly placed her hand in his and pulled him out the door.
"Yea, maybe we should tell her tonight? We can call her after we talk to the doctor."
"Ok. Do you think with what happened with Angie, that she will be sad?"
"Maybe…but Brooke is usually so positive and happy. I think she will be happy for us. And of course she will be ecstatic when I ask her to be the Godmother," Peyton smiled.
"I knew you would. You guys have been best friends forever. So should we make Nathan Godfather?"
"Yes, that's what I think," she said as they got in the car and drove away.
…
"Hey little man, how about we get some ice cream?" Skills asked as he and Jamie high fived.
"Ok. After my day at school, I need something to relax…"
"What happened at school?"
"Some kid placed a frog in the teacher's desk. When she opened the drawer she started screaming. Then we all had to sit and wait for someone to confess. So when no one did she searched everyone's desks for some kind of proof."
"Oh, yeah? Did she find any?" Skills said with a laugh.
"Yes, she did," Jamie said seriously.
"Come on man, what did she find?" he laughed. When he seen Jamie's face he quit laughing.
"A small pet cage was found in a backpack. It was found in my backpack."
"What? Jamie you didn't put a frog in the teacher's desk, did you?" Skills said now sounding stern.
"No, but I got in trouble anyway. I had to stay in while all the other kids got to go out to recess. I know who did it too. There isn't any way for me to prove it either," Jamie sighed.
"Well how do you know who did it then?" Skills asked.
"Because about five minutes before she opened her drawer, Brandon turned around in front of me and goes 'rib bit, rib bit'."
Skills couldn't help laughing. Jamie glared at him
"Sorry, little man, but that is funny!"
"Well it would have been, if it hadn't been me who got in trouble," Jamie pouted. They pulled up in front of the ice cream parlor and got out of the car.
"Jamie!" came a shriek from behind them. They turned to face Brooke and Sam.
"How is my wonderful little Godchild doing today?" Brooke asked with a huge grin. She was holding several large shopping bags. Sam, who was carrying one small shopping bag, rolled her eyes.
"Well, I got into trouble today for something I didn't do," he pouted. Brooke grabbed him into a big hug, shopping bags and all.
"Well I believe you, do you want me to tell your teacher that?"
"Brooke, you don't even know what happened!" Jamie laughed.
"No, but I know you and if you tell me you didn't do something, well then I believe it!" she winked at him.
"Thanks Brooke! You always make me feel better! So what are you guys doing?"
"We are on the way to get our Christmas portraits done!" Brooke smiled, and Sam groaned.
"Please, help me, Jamie!" Sam muttered.
Jamie laughed as Sam stuck her tongue out at him. She ruffled his hair and grinned.
"We are going for ice cream, wanna come?"
"No thanks buddy. We really have to get to the photo studio," Brooke said as Sam tried to say, "Yes!"
"Ok, well I will have a scoop for you, k, Brooke?" Jamie grinned.
"Definitely, and make it chocolate!" she grinned.
"Yummy!"
…
"I must say that was the best doctor's appointment I have ever been to. It's amazing how much we can find out about our baby so soon! Do you think we should find out the sex when it's time?" Lucas asked.
"I haven't decided what I think of that. I mean a surprise would be cool but yet planning would be easier if we knew…" Peyton muttered.
"Hey, are you ok? I mean here this is one of the happiest days of my life and you seem…off?"
"I am just thinking that's all. I mean a baby is a huge thing, right?" Peyton asked. Lucas nodded and kissed her on the cheek.
"Let's tell everyone tonight! Or do you think we should wait until after Saturday?" he asked, implying their wedding date.
Peyton was quite for a moment. "Let me think about that for awhile Luke. I mean can't this be our little secret? I mean just for now. Most of them know we are pregnant…let's just keep the due date for now. Especially since I still have to tell Brooke, I mean, I am just not sure how she is going to deal with this."
"I thought you figured she would be happy?" Lucas asked.
"Yeah, silly, happy for us but that doesn't mean he heart won't be breaking."
"Okay, whatever you think is best," he said and kissed her cheek.
"Lucas, would you care if I told her alone?" Peyton said after a moment.
"Maybe that would be best. You guys have such a strong relationship I am sure she will be happy for you."
"Thanks," Peyton said her thoughts turning elsewhere. Lucas sat wondering what his beautiful fiancé was worried about.
