Two Hearts, One Dream
Chapter 4 Two Weeks Later..
Peyton was fixing dinner with Lucas walked into the kitchen. " Your boys are going to break one of the neighbors windows you need to go talk to them." he joked..
"Why me?" She asked, as she turned to face her husband.
" There your boys." he smiled as he walked over to her.
"Why are they my boys?" she asked crossing her arms over herself.
" There your boys when they are breaking windows." he told her, as he stopped in front of her. Giving her that playful smile, she loves so much.
" When are they your boys?' she questioned, As she wrapped her arms around his neck.
" When they sign with the Lakers or the Bobcats." he teased, wrapping his arms around her waist.
" You know baby, they might not play basketball when they get older."
" There Scott's Peyton, they will play basketball." He said, in a serious tone. That made Peyton smiled widely. she didn't reply back. she just kissed him sweetly...
" Did you have a good day?" she asked, as they held each other.
" It's always a good day when I get to come home to you." he said, kissing her again.. "So you didn't call me today, or answer by calls. What did the doctors say."
" I'm sorry, I was busy, I forgot to charge my phone. And the doctor just confirmed what I told you two weeks ago." she said, as she pulled away. from him. Not really wanting to have this conversation.
" So we're having a baby, how far along are you?" he asked, putting his hand on her stomach, giving her a big grin. Yeah five kids were a handful, but he knew that as long as they had each other, they would be fine.
" Ten weeks," she said, as she turned away. and started to cut up the carrots..hoping he would drop the subject.
Lucas watched her for a moment, before asking.." Peyton your happy about the baby right." he asked, lately he knew something was bothering her, and it killed him that she wasn't talking to him.
"Yeah." she said, in a low voice, not looking at him.
He leaned up against the stove, " it doesn't seem like it..."
She rolled her eyes, " Luke, I'm very happy about the baby.. okay.." she yelled, locking eyes with him.
" Your pregnant?" Elizabeth voice broke their eye contact..
They both looked over at her, Peyton just looked at her, she really didn't want to tell the kids, hell, she really didn't want to tell anyone. But she knew Lucas would.
Lucas waited for Peyton to answer her, then after a few seconds, he realized she wasn't going to. " Yeah, sweetheart we are..." he told her happily.
" Wow!" Elizabeth said, as she walked over to them, " So another baby,,, I figured you guys would give up after have the evil twins" she joked about her brothers.
" Your brothers are not evil" Peyton said, as she noticed the clothes her daughter was wearing.." I like you outfit" she said, in a happy voice, she was actually wearing bright colors, something other than black...
"You do?"
" I do,"
" You look beautiful" Lucas said, even thou he wasn't to happy about her choice of hair color, he was happy that she seemed to be slowly coming out of her emo stage. Or whatever it is that she was or is going through.
" Look, can I stay with Carly tonight?" she asked nervously..
Peyton's eyes widen, she was shocked, she hasn't stay with Carly in months. " yeah, if uncle Nathan and Aunt Haley are okay with it. " Peyton said,
" We asked aunt Haley today at school, she's fine with it.."
" Do you want me or dad to drive you over,"
"No, Anna is dropping me off on her way to Destiny's" she told them, as she turned around hoping to get out of the room, before they questioned her more. She hated lying to her mom.
"Well, have fun baby." Peyton said, as Elizabeth rounded the corner. " Elizabeth, " she yelled,
"Yeah" she said, as she peeked in the kitchen.
"Could you not tell your sister about the baby?" Peyton asked her Elizabeth give her an odd look. " I want to be the one to tell everyone." she said, noticing te look she was giving her.
"Sure.I understand." she said with a smile.
"Thanks baby." Peyton waited till she heard her going up the stairs. " Maybe,, it was just a stage like you said." she said, quickly hoping to stop his questioning.
Lucas nodded, he knew she was trying to avoiding his questions about what she just asked their daughter. " Yeah she has acted different the past two weeks, she seems to be coming out of the dark place she was in for so long."
Peyton smiled, " Hey, maybe its a boy." she said, turning towards her husband.
"Oh no.." He said, as he shook his head.." She is not dating Peyton, she is only fourteen, she doesn't need to be out with these lame boys who only want one thing from her.. She is going to stay single."
Peyton laughed, at his childish attitude.." Lucas, she is growing up and we...
" No," he said, cutting her off, " I'm standing my ground here Peyton, she is to young to date, I didn't get a say with Anna, but my voice will be heard with Elizabeth." he said, crossing his arms over his chest, waiting for his wife to snap him off, saying it was sexism, they way he treats his daughters, all because he never had a problem with Andrew dating.
" Whatever you say Luke," she laughed, at his surprise face, she knew he was waiting on her to yell at him, they have had this chat to many times over Anna, she knew it was coming for Elizabeth one day..." Go play ball with your boys," she said, giving him a quick peck..
" Yeah, " he said, agreeing with her. "You sure you don't need any help?" he asked,
"No baby, I got this." She said, as he pulled her to him." Go have fun with the boys now, then later tonight you see what I'm rocking under these jeans."
He step back, checking her out for a moment, " Really?" he smirked at her. "I can't believe we actually have the whole house to ourselves tonight."
"I know, I can't wait." she told him, as she thought about the last time they actually had the place to themselves. It was before the twins was born, the boys were going to Skillz for the weekend, Anna was going to Destiny, and now Elizabeth was going to Carly's. "Go check on our boys their very quiet and I don't like it."
" Okay" he laughed knowing what she was thinking, it is never a good sign with the boys were quite. " Love you." he said, before placing a simple kiss to her forehead.
"Love you to." she whispered, she watched him walk out the back door. Knowing she is going to have to make the most out of tonight, because what she needs to talk to him about he wasn't going to like it. Well, if she even tells him, she wasn't to sure on that part yet.
.After dinner, the girls headed out and Peyton packed the boys bag so they could go to Skillz for the weekend. " I can't believe Skillz and Megan think they can handle our rugrats plus their own, for a whole weekend." Lucas said, as she came downstairs with the boys stuff.
" Hey, I warned him, and I even told Megan she better buy a whole much of aspirin " She told him, as she went to get their jackets, the doorbell rung. " Nicholas, Keith, Uncle Skillz is here."
"We come mama.." Keith yelled...
Lucas open the door, " Did you hit your head?" he asked, his old friend,
Skillz gave him a confused look, "What?" he asked, as he walked in the house shutting the door behind him.
" How the hell do you think your going to handle, three five-year old hyperactived boys?"
" Lucas, leave him alone." Peyton said, as she help the boys put on their jackets.
"What? I was just wondering."
"first off Luke, Lebrun stay outside shooting hoops all night, so we hardly know he is even home."Skillz laughed, thinking about his oldest who reminded him of himself at that age. "And Jordan wanted to have a night party for his bday, and he loves playing with you boys, so I figure what the hell, it can't be that bad.." he shrugged, then looked at Peyton. "Can it?"
Peyton smiled, " Everything will be fine, because they " she said, as she looked at her boys, " Promise mama that they were gong to be on their best behavior, right.."
" Yes mama, we will be good for uncle Skillz.." Nicholas said, as he grabbed his bag.."Lets go" he said, as he started to run to the door.
"Wait!" Peyton yelled, "Don't mama get a hug?" she asked in a sad voice..
"We fogot...love you" Nicholas said, as he hugged her.
" Be good please.." she said, giving him a kiss on the forehead. "Go tell daddy bye."
"Bye mama, I love you more than Nick does"Keith said, as he throw his arms around Peyton's neck.
"No!" Nicholas yelled. " I love her more, you don't love much as I do."
"Yes I do, I love her this much.." Keith said, opening his arms as wide as he could..
" So...I..love
" Alright stop" Lucas told them, as he picked Nicholas up. " We all love mama," he said, giving Peyton a wink. " Now be good, have fun, and I love you both the same." he told them, " And you both love me the same amount." he knew if he didn't say anything, they would just get into another disagreement.
"Have fun man." Lucas told Skillz, as the boys ran out to the car...
" We will, we always do thank you." Skillz said, as he walked out the door..
" I give it three hours," Lucas said, as he walked out on the porch with him.
"Whatever man," he laughed. " Um..Hows Peyton?" he asked, as soon as they were out of sight from her.
"What do you mean?"
Skillz made sure the boys were in the car, before continuing " Megan said, she saw her at the doctors today, and Peyton wasn't acting herself,. We were just wondering if everything was okay?"
Lucas looked at him for a moment, " Yeah, everything is fine, it was just a yearly check up." he lied, not sure what to say apparently Peyton hasn't said nothing to anyone which was really odd.
"Okay, that's good.." he said, as they walked down the steps, "Well let the headache began." He joked, as he got in the car. Lucas just laughed, before he started to walk away.
"Wait.." Nicholas yelled, as Skillz started the car. "Daddy" he yelled from the window.
Lucas turned around, "Whats wrong?"
"Could you get my basketball?"
"Doesn't Jordan and Lebrun, have basketballs?" Lucas asked, knowing they did.
Nicholas rolled his eyes, " yeah, but I like my ball better, please...I love you.." he said, giving Lucas his sad puppy eyes.
Lucas sighed, he swears they get that from their mother. " Where's it at? your room?"
"No, its in mama's car the back seat I think..."
Lucas walked up the driveway to his wife's car, he opened the door, and climbed over the drive seat in reached for the ball, as he was climbing back out something caught his eye. He reached for the blue folder , and opened it up, studied them for a minute.
"Daddy!" Nicholas exclain.."Hurry up...
Lucas laid the folder on top of the car, then walked the ball down to Skillz car, " Here you go, you boys have fun." he said as he waved out them. He waited till they were out of the driveway, before walking back to Peyton's car and grabbing the folder, he slammed the car door and head inside. He knew his romantic night with his wife was about to be ruin.
