Six Months Later

The morning sickness was gone which made Peyton happy. She was also very hormonal at times. The other night she started crying because of a cat food commercial. They had gotten a lawyer to do the papers for Derek to sign away his rights to the baby. Derek immediately signed them but not before telling Peyton that they will always be connected.

"What are you doing?" Lucas asked as he walked into the kitchen one morning. Peyton was looking at a real estate paper.

"I'm looking for a new place to live. I can't live here forever. I can't go home because there's too many bad memories. I figured that I should have a house ready for when the baby comes." Peyton explained.

"That sounds reasonable. I'm going to miss you though. I've kinda gotten used to having you here." Lucas said.

"I was thinking. If I got a house with three bedrooms, would you be willing to move in with me? I'm still a little scared of being by myself and I could use your help with the baby." Peyton suggested.

"If that's what you want then I will. Let's see which ones there are. We can circle the ones we like and then we can go to the real estate office today and ask to look at them." Lucas said as he sat down. When they were finished they had circled five of them. They went to the real estate office and they were lucky someone was willing to take them to see the houses. The first four they didn't like because it was too small.

"If you don't like this one I brought a list of houses that you might like." The real-estate person said. The second Peyton walked into the house she was in love. There was a fireplace in the living room and the kitchen was huge.

"Look at the size of this kitchen Luke!" Peyton said. They went upstairs.

"Holy crap! These bedrooms are huge! This is the house Lucas!" Peyton said.

"Are you sure?" Lucas asked.

"Very. This is the perfect house." Peyton said.

"You heard the lady. We'll take it." Lucas said with a smile.

"You made a good choice. Let's go to my car and do the paperwork. The agent said. Within the hour the house was there's.

A/N: I know it's a little fast but I wanted to get the living arrangements out of the way.
