A/N : Sorry for the delay, life got into the way. Enjoy!
Lucas was just about to fall asleep when he heard tiptoes coming in the bedroom and the bed dip. He knew it wasn't Peyton because she had already fallen asleep. He turned around and met his daughter's eyes. He raised an eyebrow at her and she smiled sheepishly, placing a finger on her lips.
"What are you doing here, crazy girl?" he asked, pulling a mean face. She was supposed to be asleep by now, since they had put her to bed two hours ago.
"There was a big monster in my bedroom. I heard it!" she whispered, her eyes widening in exaggeration. Lucas couldn't help but laughed quietly.
"Oh, really?"
Sawyer nodded her head hastily. "Mhm-mm. He's hiding in my closet."
"Isn't it just an excuse to sleep with mommy and I?"
The little girl fell silent and Lucas shook his head with a smile. "Just for tonight. But you have to promise that you won't tell mommy you slept here. So you have to be in your room tomorrow morning before she wakes up," he extended his hand toward his daughter. "Deal?"
She slid her little hand into her father's and shook it. "Deal."
"Okay, come here." She snuggled against her father's side and rested her head on her chest. He kissed her hair line as Sawyer let out a content sigh.
"Daddy?" Sawyer asked, moving her head upward so she could meet her father's blue eyes.
"What now?" Lucas sighed, definitely wanting some sleep.
Sawyer pressed her lips to his chin and murmured, "I love you."
He didn't know that a four-year-old could do that to his heart; making it melt into his chest. He placed a kiss onto his daughter hairline and whispered back, "I love you too, baby girl."

Peyton woke up the morning after, feeling more exhausted than she was before going to bed. The pregnancy had taken a lot on her and now the newest Scott had decided that her belly was the new roller coaster in town. She groaned when she realized it was only seven in the morning and that she couldn't go to work, being eight months pregnant.
"Can you let mommy rest a few more hours baby?" she asked, placing her hand on her expended stomach. She felt a pressure beneath her hand and rolled her eyes. "Guess not."
Rolling over her back to see if Lucas was still in bed, she bumped into a smaller body and raised her brow. Sawyer was comfortably tucked in her father's side, her head resting on his chest. She shook her head slightly, knowing that Lucas had once again agreed to let her spend the night with them.
An hour or so later, while Sawyer was eating her breakfast and Peyton finishing cooking her and Lucas', he walked into the kitchen.
"Well, you two are up early," Lucas said as he rubbed his tired eyes. Sawyer's head snapped up and she grinned sheepishly.
"Daddy, we've got lots and lots of things to do today. We gotta go to the rivercourt!"
Lucas grinned at his daughter enthusiasm. He leaned down and dropped a raspberry kiss on her neck, making the girl erupt into a fit of laughter.
"I don't know if we can, remember, mommy is tired. It's not safe for her and the baby to do too much," he glanced at his wife who was killing him with her eyes. Peyton snickered and placed her hand on her hips.
"Lucas," she said, clenching her jaw. He held up his hands in surrender and walked to her.
"I'm sorry. I guess it's not too much." he kissed her good morning, his hand grazing her belly. "Why are you up so early?"
"Your son thinks my uterus is a roller coaster," Lucas chuckled and he once again received a death glare from Peyton. "Not funny. I'd like to see you with a human in your uterus." she snapped, walking past him and to the table.
And he thought hormonal moments were over.

"Sawyer!" Peyton shouted from Sawyer's doorway while the little girl watched cartoons. "Could you come in here please?"
Sawyer groaned but hopped off the couch and walked down the hall. "Yes?"
"Why is your room a mess?" Peyton asked, putting a hand on her hip. "I tidied it up yesterday. You're going to do it now, please."
"No!" Sawyer cried out, crossing her arms over her chest, her bottom lip advancing to form a pout. "I don't want to."
Peyton almost rolled her eyes. "Well, I don't care. If it's not clean before lunch, no river court."
"But..."
"I don't want to hear it. Now go." Peyton said firmly, pointing to Sawyer's room. The little girl squinted and huffed, walking past her mother ans slamming the door of her room. Peyton sighed slightly and shook her head. As she walked into the kitchen, she saw Lucas leaned against the doorway, an amused smile on his lips.
"Why do I always have to the bad guy?" she said, placing a hand on her hip.
"You don't. I scowl her too." Lucas said, following her into the kitchen. A laugh escaped Peyton's mouth.
"Right," she bit off sarcastically.
"What?" Lucas cried out. "It's true!"
"Oh yeah?" Peyton said, turning around. "Care to explain what she was doing n our bed this morning?"
Lucas closed his eyes and winced. "Damn it. We had a deal."
"Oh, you have a deal? Now you two conspire behind my back?" Peyton asked, kinking her eyebrow.
"No! Well yes but...it was Sawyer's idea," Lucas defended himself.
Peyton bit back a laugh. "Oh, I didn't know I had two four-year-old in the house. I thought my husband was a little more mature," she teased, patting his cheek.
"Haha, very funny." Lucas rolled his eyes and slipped an arm around her waist, pulling her body to his. He kissed her hard on the lips. Peyton moaned and went to deepen the kiss when the door bell rang. Lucas groaned and pulled apart.
Suddenly, it seemed as if a tornado was passing through the kitchen. Sawyer was running madly to the door closely followed by Rocket. "It's uncle Chris, it's uncle Chris!"
Lucas scoffed and shook his head. "How can she like him so much?"
"Stop being jealous." Peyton warned, slapping his shoulder.
Meanwhile, Sawyer had got to the door and checked that it was indeed the person she was expecting. Opening the door, her eyes lit up with excitement. "Uncle Chris!"
Chris laughed and was caught off guard when Sawyer jumped into his arms. "Hey little bug," he said as he shared an amused smile with Brooke who was standing right behind him.
"I missed you!"
"I missed you too Sawyer," he put her back down and crouched to her level. "Wanna know a secret?" the little blonde girl nodded. "You're the person I missed the most."
"That's not possible. You missed autie Brooke the most 'cos you looove her," Sawyer said incredulously, pointing to Brooke. "Hi aunt Brooke."
"Hey bug. Wow, I love your dress. The color is perfect for you," Brooke commented as she watched Sawyer twirl around in her blue sky dress, the same color as her eyes.
"Thanks."
Lucas and Peyton walked to the door and hugged Chris, who had just come back from his tour. Chris pulled away from Peyton and raised a brow. "Wow, you've gotten big."
"Shut up, Keller," Peyton warned, rising her finger. Chris actually took a step back and looked at Lucas with a frown.
"Geez, Scott. Control your woman," Chris said with a laugh, looking at Peyton who was smiling while shaking her head. He actually sighed a breath of relief.
"What are you guys planning anyway?" Brooke asked as they all walked into the living room.
"We're going to the river court! Me and Daddy are gonna play basketball and Momma is going to draw 'cos Daddy doesn't want her to do a lot 'cos it could hurt her or the baby and we don't want that 'cos I want to have a very very healthy baby brother." Sawyer rambled on and Lucas and Peyton's eyes widened at the last piece of information she had just given to Brooke.
"Wait...A baby brother?" Brooke asked then looked up to her friends. "You're having a boy?"
Sawyer's hands covered her mouth. "Oooops. I wasn't suppose to tell."
"It's okay baby," Peyton told Sawyer. "Yes, we're having a boy. We wanted to keep it as a surprise but well...We're having a son!"
Brooke squealed and ran to Peyton to hug her. Chris just patted Lucas on the back and they shared a man hug. Once the high had come down, Lucas asked,
"So what brought you two by?"
"We wanted to spend some time with Sawyer. So if you want to spend a little time alone with your wife we can take her tonight and the whole day tomorrow." Brooke said and then looked down at Sawyer whose gaze went up to Lucas.
"Can I? Can I?"
Peyton nodded and Lucas did the same. "Sure you can."
"Cool!"

"Now, once you have the ball firmly placed between your two hands, you have to look toward the hoop," Lucas explained as he stood behind his daughter whose tongue stuck out in concentration. "And when you're ready, you throw the ball in it."
Sawyer looked up to the hoop and did the best throw she got, but it wasn't high enough to go in. "It's alright, you can try again. I'm gonna go see your mom, but I'm watching, 'K?" Lucas said as he handed her the ball. Sawyer nodded and positioned herself to make a shot.
Lucas hopped on the bleachers next to his wife and peeked her drawing. "Woaw, I'm handsome on this,"
Peyton snickered and cocked a brow. "A lot of people tell me that I have the tendency to draw people a lot more handsome than in real life."
"Ouch," Lucas said, placing his hand over his chest and mocking hurt. "Gets me right here Peyt."
She laughed and leaned toward him. "Kidding. I think that my husband is so hot that I can't to have him all for myself tonight." Peeking a glance to their daughter to assure she wasn't paying attention at them, Peyton bit Lucas' earlobe slightly.
"Oh," Lucas murmured, suddenly feeling very hot.
"Come on, go teach our daughter basketball."Peyton then said, patting his leg.
Lucas stood up and turned to her. "I love you Mrs. Scott."
"Yeah, I kinda like you too,"
An hour later, they had decided to leave the rivercourt and go eat an ice cream along the lake where Lucas and Peyton first met. They were walking by the bank of the water, Sawyer walking ahead of Lucas and Peyton, in quest of finding some leaves to make an album. All of the sudden, she stopped and turned to her parents with a frown.
"Can I ask you a question?" she asked.
"Sure Doodle."
"Where do babies come from?"
Lucas chocked out his ice cream and Peyton cleared her throat. They both looked at each other and then to their daughter.
"Well, you see...When two people love each other..." Lucas began but felt the lump form in his throat.
"You know what baby girl?" Peyton asked Sawyer. "I'm sure Chris would love to answer your question."
"Really?"
"Absolutely. Why don't you ask him tonight?"
"Awesome!"

Brooke and Chris were tiding up the kitchen after dinner while Sawyer watched a cartoon in the living room. Brooke checked her watch and noticed that it was way over Sawyer's bedtime.
"Sawyer, time for bed!" she said as she walked into the living room. She heard a heavy huff and Sawyer's head appeared from behind the couch.
"Already?" she whined. Brooke nodded and placed a hand on her hip, rising her brow. Sawyer sighed dramatically once again and turned off the Tv. "Fine."Chris appeared in the doorway and Sawyer's eyes lit up as she remembered her parent's suggestion earlier in the day."Uncle Chris! Can you read me a story?"
Chris copped Sawyer up into his arms. "You really think you've been wise enough?" Sawyer nodded her head, "Alright."
They walked to the guest bedroom and he placed her down on the bed, tucking her beneath the covers. "So, which story do you want? We have The Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, Shrek..."
"I want you to tell me where babies come from!"
Chris coughed as he looked at her. "What?"
"Mommy and daddy told me you'd love to answer the question so I'm asking," Sawyer said, slightly shrugging her shoulders.
"Alright," Chris sighed and sat on the bed next to her. "When two people really love each other, they want to have a baby, like the result of their love. So they cuddle and poof, the baby appears In your mommy's stomach."
"Really? That's it?" Sawyer asked, her eyes widening.
"Yup. Pretty simple, huh?"
"If that was simple, how come you and aunt Brooke don't have any babies? My baby brother would love a cousin to play with!"
"Can you keep a really big secret? You have to swear not to tell," Chris whispered.
"Huh-huh, I promise!"
"There's already a baby in your aunt Brooke's tummy. But no one knows that except me, Brooke and now you. Can I trust you?" Chris said as a smile spread over his face; they had learn about Brooke's pregnancy a few days ago. He extended his hand toward Sawyer's who shook it without an hesitation.
"Yep, I won't tell anything, I swear."
"Good," Chris said. He kissed Sawyer's nose, shut off the light and left the room. That's when he realized his wife had heard the whole conversation, standing at the doorway.
"So they cuddle and poof, baby in the tummy?" she asked, kinking a brow.
"You have to remind me to have a talk with Lucas and Peyton."
LPLP
"I wonder how Chris managed the whole 'where do babies come from' thing with Sawyer," Peyton said as she took a spoon of her ice cram while Lucas and her where watching a film, her laying on the couch and Lucas massaging her feet. He chuckled and looked at his wife.
"I bet he chose to tell her the rose and sprout thing."
"Yeah," Peyton said with a laugh before gently rubbing her belly, "You know what?"
"No, but I have the feeling you're going to tel me anyway. No, wait," he checked the clock on the wall. "Ice cream time?"
Peyton rose her eyebrow playfully, "Don't act like you know me,"
"Oh, I sense the déjà vu," Lucas replied, winking at his wife. " 'Why are boys such jerks?' "
"Please," Peyton rolled her eyes. "And it's a little creepy that you remember everything that I said that day."
"Well, that day is engraved in my mind. It's the day that the girl I've had a crush on for the past three years talked to me. How can I forget?" He said as he moved on top of her and kissed her lips.
Peyton's hand ran over his cheek, "You're a dork,"
"Maybe, but the dork still got that girl he fell in love with to marry him. Peyton Sawyer will become Peyton Scott."
