Chapter 4 Double Checking
When Lucas woke up that morning he realized he wasn't dreaming. It wasn't a dream I'm going to be a father, he thought. He rolled over and stared at Peyton as if she would disappear. Quickly but quietly he got up and began making breakfast, not before finding the number for Peyton's doctor to schedule an appointment for later on today.
Peyton rolled over to fell the empty spot which Lucas had occupied. No. It was a dream, she thought to her self. She got up out of bed and walked into the kitchen to be welcomed by Luke with a kiss.
" Hey, beautiful!" said Lucas
" Morning-" before she could even finish she was off running to the bathroom. Lucas was not to far behind her to pull her hair away and rub her back. After a few minutes she sat back to get up but was hit with another wave of nausea, and went back to throwing up. When she finally finished she sat back in Lucas' lap.
" Peyt, you ok?" asked Lucas with concern in his voice
" Do I look ok?!" snapped Peyton.
After seeing the dejected look on his face. " Oh gosh, Luke I'm so sorry." Peyton said putting her head down in shame.
" It's ok. You ready to get up?"
"Yeah" She got up and walked to the sink throwing water on her face and brushing her teeth. Once finish she walked back into the kitchen and sat down.
" I scheduled you an appointment today it's at 3. But after seeing you earlier I'm pretty sure you're pregnant." in a mocking tone.
" Thanks for the concern, what time is it now?"
" Um, it's 10." He said nonchalantly
"I'm meeting Brooke and Haley down at the store. Then we could push our lunch back an hour and finally go to the doctor's appointment?" Peyton stated more than asked.
" Ok. I have practice in an hour anyway. So eat up, while I go get ready"
" Yes, sir!" she said with a fake salute. She sat there eating her breakfast. But couldn't help to think about her and Lucas were having a baby. Once she finished eating, she got up threw her stuff away and prepared for her day.
Walking into the gym he couldn't hide the ridiculous grin he had on his face. Some people would have thought he got laid, but this was for a better reason.
"Yo, dog." said Skills walking up to meet Luke fro a manly hug and a fist tap. " What's with the smile?" he asked but already knew.
"No reason". Lucas said but still having a child like grin.
"Peyton must have told him." butted in Nathan.
" So you know?" Lucas said asked
" Yeah Haley told me and I told Skills."
"Then I told Mouth who told-"
Lucas jumped in before Skills could finish. "Don't worry Peyton already explained that to me." He clarified.
"So you're happy, right?" asked Skills getting defensive for Peyton's sake.
" You kidding, I'm ecstatic! She actually has an appointment at 3." Luke said.
" Well lets get this over with so you can go." Nathan blew his whistle and then called for practice to start.
Driving in her Comet was always her place of solace. Any other day she would be speeding, but knowing she was late to meet Brooke she drove rather slow. Plus she knew Brooke would give her an earful for being late. When she arrived at her friend's boutique she walked in very slowly.
"P. Sawyer-Scott!" said an angry Brooke.
"Hey to you too." mocked Peyton with sarcasm
" Enough with the small talk. How did he take it? Tell me everything and don't leave a thing out!"
" Ok well when he first came home I didn't know what to do or say......" Peyton went on to tell Brooke all about last night and this morning before she got here to her store. " and now I'm here telling you what happened."
" Oh my gosh I would have punched him, he took that long to answer?"
" Yeah, I was trying so hard not to cry."
" But enough about you, I need my maid of honor to help me with my wedding."
"Brooke I'm going to be fat, by the time the wedding comes."
"Your going to be fat!"
Haley exclaimed walking into the store just in time to hear Peyton's comment.
"Gosh Tutor Wife trying to give us a heart attack." Brooke said trying to catch her breathe.
" My bad, but Peyton the wedding is in a month. And I'll be fat by then, as skinny as you are you'll barely be showing." explained Haley.
" You never know Hales." teased Brooke.
" Thanks for the support Brooke." replied Peyton
" Have you and Luke scheduled an appointment yet?" asked Haley.
" Yeah it's at 3. When I'm done here I'm going to meet him for a late lunch then we are off to the appointment."
" That's good. Lucas must be excited."
" He wasn't at first." whispered Brooke
" What do you mean?" asked Haley getting a little angry.
" Well Tutor Mom times 2....." Brooke began to explain the events of last night to Haley, even though it was Peyton's night. " and now I'm telling you."
" Thank's Brooke." Peyton said sarcastically.
" Your welcome." Brooke said completely ignoring the sarcasm.
" Ok I have a lot today so lets do what we came here to do." said Haley showing her teacher side a bit.
The girls sat there a good hour discussing Brooke's wedding plans. From the colors to the flowers and the guest to the seating charts. Once finish they just hung out like old times. Brooke suggested it as one of the last times to really hang, before she gets married and Haley and Peyton have their babies.
" So Brooke have you and Chase thought about kids?" asked Haley while instinctively rubbing her protruding stomach.
"No not really, but I want to have them right away."
" Oh that's good Brooke. Just don't scare him off too fast." joked Peyton. Not hiding her laugh Haley nudge Brooke in the arm.
" Hilarious, you know what I'm going to miss this." said Brooke with sincerity.
" You act like we're moving." Peyton said.
" No but once you have a baby, it's like you have." Haley said. The three women laughed at the comment. They talked for another 10 minutes before Peyton had to leave to meet Lucas for lunch.
" Good luck Peyton." Haley and Brooke said at the same time while Peyton was walking out.
Scene 4
Their lunch had been normal. But Peyton held in her excitement throughout the whole meal. Now sitteng down in the office she couldn't help but feel a little scared. Waiting for them to call her name was just adding to the tension. Lucas could sense something was up so he grabbed her hand and kissed it.
"Mrs. Scott?" called the nurse
Upon hearing her name she jumped up grabbed her purse and walked in behind the nurse. With Lucas right behind her.
" My name is Dr. Matthews and I'll be you doctor. With the intro over can you please sit up there and pull up your shirt." she instructed. Peyton did as she was told and looked over at Lucas for support. Seeing the look of need in her eyes he grabbed her hand. " Ok I must warn you this is rather cold." Even with the warning she still wasn't ready for the coldness. Now with the gel on Dr. Matthews put the doppler on Peyton's stomach. " Now that little thing right there is your baby." she said pointing to the screen. " you're about 6 weeks along and you look fine. I'm going to schedule an appointment for you next month. Congrats!" she said while handing Peyton and Luke a picture of their baby.
" Luke, that's our baby." she said in awe.
"Yeah, that's ours. Something for you and I to share." he said with a teary smile.
A/N Hope you liked it. I tried to include the other characters but I don't think I did so well with that. Um, my first 2 reviews were nice, I truly wasn't expecting that but thank you any way. I need ideas.. Should I skip ahead a month or so and do Brooke's wedding or just write the got married and kinda describe it to you. I'll update as soon as possible. Thank You!!
