Thank you for all the Reviews. I really appreciate them!

"Brooke?" Peyton said.
"In here." Brooke said sounding from the kitchen.
"Hey." Peyton said as she entered the kitchen.
Something had happened, Brooke knew it. They always could tell when the other was going through something. Their bond has become so strong over the years they were like sisters.
"What's wrong?"
"Could I crash on your couch tonight?"
"P. Sawyer what happened?"
"Lucas and I had a fight." Peyton said "About Julian."
"I thought Lucas accepted the fact that you two had a past in LA?"
"That's what I though too, but apparently not. He accused me of sleeping with him."
"What? Are you kidding?"
"No, he took Julian's word over mine."
"Oh honey." Brooke said as she hugged her best friend. "I'm sure he didn't mean it."
"I know but how could he even consider it?"
"Who knows? A guy's mind works in mysterious ways."
"There's more."
"What else is there?"
"I don't want to upset you. This is good news I think but I know how much you wanted it."
"You can tell me anything."
"Brooke I'm pregnant."
"What? Oh my god! Peyton that's great!"
"Really? You're not upset. I know how badly you want to be a mom."
"I'm not upset. And you are going to be a great mom. How long have you known?"
"About a week."
"Congratulations honey!"
"Thanks. I just hope Lucas reacts the same way."
"You haven't told him?"
"I've been so nervous about this I haven't had the chance. I was going to tell him tonight. I made a big dinner and everything. Then he accused me of cheating on him. He'll probably think Julian is the father."
"He is going to be so happy Peyton, and I 'm sure he believes you about Julian."
"This whole thing is sort of my fault."
"How so?"
"I've been so distant lately, because of the baby, I made him think I was falling in love with Julian."
"It's not your fault. Just go home and tell Lucas the truth. You do want to have this baby don't you?"
"Of course I do. I don't want to talk to him now though. Is it ok if I spend the night?"
"Sure honey."

Lucas tossed and turned all night. He couldn't believe how he acted towards Peyton. He trusts her, why would he say those awful things to her? He kept replaying the whole night in his head, and he came to the conclusion that he shouldn't have even believed Julian at all. Not even the tiniest bit. He has complete trust in her.
Now he just has to prove it.
Hoping she was still at Brooke's Lucas knocked on the door.
"Now's not a good time Luke." Brooke said when she opened the door.
"Is she here?"
"Yes, but its not a good time. Umm..She's not feeling to well."
"Is it her stomach again? Its been acting up for awhile."
"I don't know but she doesn't want to talk to you right now."
"She told you what happened?"
"Of course!" Brooke said "How could you have been such a jerk?"
"I know, I know. Just let me see her." Lucas said as he saw Peyton leave the bathroom. "Peyton"
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"We need to talk."
"Is that the phone? I'll get it.", Brooke said and then quickly left the room.
"Are you going to apologize or accuse me of cheating some more?"
"Peyton I'm really sorry. Truly. I didn't mean what I said. I know you would never cheat on me."
"Why did you believe him? Especially over me?"
"I guess I'm jealous."
"Jealous of him? Why? That's crazy."
"He got to spend all that time with you in LA and that's a part of your life I wasn't part of."
"Well that was your decision when you up and left without a goodbye."
"I know. And I'm sorry."
"It's ok. Don't listen to what he says. He's an ass."
"Won't happen again." Lucas said and then leaned in to kiss her.
"I just puked. I should probably brush my teeth before we do that."
"You're still sick? Maybe we should get you checked out."
"I'm fine Lucas; do you want to get out of here? Maybe go for a walk near the river?"
"Yeah."

"Last night you were right when you said I have been distant." Peyton said.
"Is something going on? Are you ok?"
"I'm fine, perfectly fine. It's just that I got some news and it gave me a lot to think about."
"News? Did you get that band for your brother's concert?"
"That's not the news I was talking about. I got a phone call last week while you were away."
"You are scaring me Peyton."
"Don't be scared, well it is a little scary, but we love each other and we will be fine."
"Still confused."
"Lucas I'm pregnant."
