"Luke, they're going to take all the tubes and things off of Peyton so they can take her to the morge now." Patrick said.

"Bye Peyton." Lucas whispered as he kissed her lips one last time. He turned around to leave and her heart monitor started to beep.

"What the hell?" Lucas asked. Patrick checked her heart.

"She's breathing on her own. She must've responded to your kiss." Patrick said.

"Does this mean she's going to wake up?" Lucas asked.

"I don't know. She's breathing on her own for the moment but that could change." Patrick said as he left.

"You're trying to back to us aren't you baby?" Lucas asked as he sat down next to Peyton's bed and took her hand.

"Luke, I'm sorry about yelling at you. You had enough on your mind without me yelling at you." Haley said as she came into the room.

"It's ok. I should've listened to my gut. She's a fighter." Lucas said as they hugged.

"Remember when she gave you crap about looking at her drawings the first time you fixed her car?" Haley asked. Lucas smiled.

"It scared me. Keith had come out to see what was going on and then went back in. That's nothing compared to when I sent her drawings into Thud Magazine. You never want to mess with Peyton Sawyer." Lucas said as they laughed.

"You also don't want to wake her up before 9:00 in the morning. She is so not a morning person." Brooke said.

"Can anyone join this party?" Andy asked.

"Why not. It can't hurt. Where's Austin?" Lucas asked.

"Right here." Karen said as she came in.

"There's my little man." Lucas said as he took Austin from Karen. Everyone stayed and laughed for a few hours before they left.

"Is there anything you need?" Andy asked.

"Can you go home and get me the bassenet and stuff for Austin? We're going to stay right here until she wakes up." Lucas asked.

"Ok. I'll be back in an hour." Andy said as he left.

"Alright Peyton. You can wake up now." Lucas said.

TWO WEEKS LATER

Lucas spent as much time with Peyton as he could. Patrick had an orderly bring in another bed for Lucas to sleep on. They set it up so that Lucas could hold Peyton's hand as he slept. Austin was with him during the day and Karen came and got him at night. Austin was very fussy all the time. Lucas even had Patrick check him out. His eyes had turned green and he had more curls

"Austin, what's wrong? I know you you're not hungray because your nanna fed you an hour ago. I just changed your diaper so you don't need another one. Do you want me to sing to you?" Lucas asked. Austin immedeatley calmed down.

"Yeah. I figured that would stop you." Lucas said as he put him back in his bassenett. He looked and saw Peyton's eyes were open.

"Oh my god! You're awake! Can you hear me?" Lucas asked as he pushed the call button.

"Luke, why are you here? You're supposed to be in LA. Why is there a baby in here?" Peyton asked as the nurse came in. She saw Peyton was awake and ran to get Patrick.

"You're in Tree Hill Peyton. This is our son, Austin Keith Scott." Lucas said.

"No. I lost our baby after Julian beat me up." Peyton said as Patrick came in.

"You're awake. Welcome back. Do you know who you are?" Patrick asked.

"Peyton Sawer. Oh my god! You look just like one of the characters on General Hospital!" Peyton said. Lucas laughed. Peyton loved General Hospital. She could never go a day without watching it. She even had a TV at the studio so she could watch it. If she missed it she was not a happy person.

"I get that a lot. What's the last thing you remember?" Patrick asked.

"I was working in my office and Julian came in drunk He tried to kiss me but I rejected him so he got angry and beat me up." Peyton said. Patrick checked her over while Lucas called the others.

"You seem fine. If everything goes ok you should be able to go home in a week or so." Patrick said as he left.

"Peyton, you didn't lose the baby." Lucas said.

"I had to have lost it. He kicked me hard in the stomach." Peyton said.

"He's a fighter, just like you. I promise you that Austin is our baby." Lucas said.

"Maybe he's not. I don't remember anything after I passed out. He could've raped me. I could've lost our baby and got pregnant with his." Peyton said.

"Trust me. Austin is not Julian's. The doctors did a sonogram when you were brought in. It showed you were 4 weeks pregnant already. If it will make you feel better I'll get the to do a DNA test." Lucas said.

"No. If the sonogram showed I was pregnant then I didn't lose the baby. How old is he?" Peyton asked.

"He's three weeks, two days and 5 hours. He doesn't have my HCM. He's perfect." Lucas said.

"P. Sawyer! It's about time you decided to wake up!" Brooke said excitedly as she came in.

"Yeah well I heard you tell me that I wasn't allowed to leave." Peyton said. Lucas laughed.

"That's right. Everyone still needs you. By the way, you've got the cutest little baby I've ever seen." Brooke said.

"Of course he is. Lucas is his father." Peyton said as Austin started fussing again.

"Austin, you're killing me." Lucas said as he picked him up.

"Let me hold him." Peyton said. Lucas put Austin in her arms and Austin stopped crying.

"OK. How'd you do that? He's been fussy since he was born and now he's happy." Lucas asked.

"He just wanted his mommy, didn't you sweetie?" Peyton asked as she kissed his head. Austin looked up at her with his big green eyes.

"Did you know that my doctor looks like one of the characters on General Hospital?" Peyton asked.

"I know. I almost had a heart attack when I first saw him." Brooke said. Lucas laughed.

A/N: I had you going. I could never kill Peyton off. Especially after she and Lucas just had a baby. How did you like the General Hospital joke?
