Can't Find The Words

Peyton is sitting at a table with a cup of coffee and her notebook. The waiter comes to her table and puts a glass of milk and 3 chocolate chips cookies in front of her.

Peyton looks up, "Oh I didn't order—"

The teenage waiter smiled, "It came from the guy at the bar."

"Which one," She asks arching her eyebrow, smirking.

"That one"

Peyton couldn't see who he was pointing at so she took a napkin, scribbled something on it and told the waiter to give it to the man. The waiter came back with another napkin.

It read, I know.

Peyton got paranoid so she paid for her coffee, puts her things in her purse and leaves the restaurant and her phone starts to ring.

Peyton pulls her phone out while looking over her shoulder, "Hello?"

There is no answer so Peyton hangs up. "What the fuck."

There is a tap on her shoulder. Peyton jumps and turns around. It is the waiter. "Sorry didn't mean to scare you but this is the last thing he told me to give you."

Peyton takes it and opens it and it says, follow my instructions and I promise I will leave you alone. If you don't then well I will just have to keep bothering you until you do.

Peyton weighs her options in her mind think Sawyer, you have a knife in your purse and you have been hitting the gym, If this psycho really turns out to be a psycho, you can take him, Peyton shrugs and continues to read.

Go to the main ballroom and sit at the center table. There will be a small note somewhere on the table you find it and you will know who it is.

Peyton did as the napkin said. Before she could find the note someone comes and covers her eyes. She elbows them in the stomach then turns around ready to swing.

"Oh my god LUCAS"

"Damn it Peyton yea it's me" Lucas says as he is doubled over in pain.

"Serves you right for scaring the hell out of me" She helps him to the seat she was sitting in and sits across from him laughing hysterically.

Peyton stopped laughing, "What are you doing here?"

He groans, "I wanted to surprise you."

Peyton smirked, "Mission accomplished. Oh shut up it didn't hurt that much."

"Come here let me do it to you see how you like it." He spat back.

"Come on lets go get you some water. I am hungry too." They walk back to the restaurant. Lucas is still holding his stomach and the same waiter comes over.

Even he is laughing, "How may I help you?"

"He will have a glass of water and I will have, umm, burger and fries I guess."

Peyton takes out her cell phone that had just begun to play "My Dad's gone Crazy" by Eminem.

"Hello? Your brother is in pain thanks to you."

Nathan chuckles, "What"

"Let me talk to Haley"

"Hold on"

Haley took the phone, "Hello"

"Haley"

"You didn't say no did you?" Haley shouts.

Peyton raised her eyebrow and looked at Lucas, "What? Say no to what?"

"Uh I got to go" Peyton looks at her phone and then looks back at Lucas.

"What? I am the one in pain here."

The food comes and Lucas eats half her burger and fries as Peyton tells him about the road and he tells her about the games and how everyone is doing. Peyton excuses herself and goes to the bathroom.

When she comes back all the plates are cleared and there is a small black box sitting on the table where she was sitting but Lucas is no where in sight.

She sits down and places her hands on either side of the box. She looks around for Lucas but she still can't see him.

She gets the courage to open the box then immediately stands up "OH MY GOD!! LUCAS EUGENE SCOTT!!" She shouts. Lucas comes running over to her and gets on one knee.

"Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer, 5 years ago I made a mistake. I couldn't wait for you. I could only see what I wanted. I am here now asking you to be my wife always."

Peyton had tears in her eyes, "Y-yes I will, of course!!"

Everyone claps as Lucas puts the ring on her finger. She kisses him and stares at the ring closely.

"Lucas, where did you get this ring?"

Lucas smiles, "From your Dad"

"Wait I don't understand" She said looking at him, tears streaming down her face.

"I asked your father for this ring, your mother's ring because I remember you telling me how much you loved it."

"Lucas—"

Lucas stopped her, "I told you, I would do anything to make you happy."

"You did it. I love you Lucas Eugene Scott."

"And I love you. I couldn't wait 3 months."

Peyton wiped her eyes, "I am glad you didn't."

5 month's pass, turns out Peyton was becoming an asset on the road and had to extend her stay, much to everyone's dismay, but finally Peyton is on her way home.

On the tour bus, Peyton is sitting across from Mia and her band.

"I can't believe this is coming to an end."

Mia smiled, "I know, make sure you give me the date for the big day, it is going to be drama filled and I can't miss a minute of it."

"Yea I bet" She says rolling her eyes.

"Seriously"

xxxxxxxxxxx

Lucas driving to Tric smiling. He parks outside of Tric and dials his phone.

Back on the bus, Peyton's phone starts to play "Write it out" by Dashboard confessional starts to play.

Peyton smiles, "Hey you"

"Hey"

Mia and her band start to make kissing sounds in the background.

Peyton laughs, during Peyton's stay on tour they have learned to memorize Peyton's ring tones.

They knew that Brooke had picked, "Like a Virgin" by Madonna. Skillz picked "The Good Life" by Kanye. And Haley picked, "Feel like a woman" by Shania Twain. So whenever Lucas called they would tease Peyton to no end.

"You guys come on." Peyton walks to the back of the bus to get a little bit of privacy.

Peyton stops laughing, "Hey, how are you?"

Lucas loved her laugh but was sad he couldn't see her face light up when she did, "I would be better if you were here."

"I—oh I think I am going to be sick" She runs to the bathroom leaving Lucas yelling on the other line.

She came back and picked up the phone, "Are you okay?"

"Yea just a little nauseous" She said tossing a piece of gum in her mouth.

"You know Brooke is going to know as soon as you walk off that bus."

"Have you told anyone?"

Lucas shook his head. "Nope, you"

"Naw uh, I mean besides Mia and the guys, but you already knew that." She said pulling her hair up.

"Well we can do it tonight at your welcome back dinner." Lucas said sighing.

Peyton smiled, "Okay—Lucas"

"Yea"

"Are we really doing this?" She said looking at her feet.

Lucas laughing, "Yea, yea we are."

"I--I'm nervous"

"About what babe," He asked nonchalantly.

Peyton exhaled deeply, "All of it forever is a long time."

"Good" He said laughing.

"Lucas I'm serious. How do I know you won't leave when we argue or when you don't get your way?" Peyton whined out.

"You don't." Now he was just messing with her. He knew how hormonal she had been lately.

"Lucas Scott" She yelled.

Lucas chuckled, "Peyton I don't know you won't do the same to me. I guess what I am saying is nothing is guaranteed. Look at Nathan and Haley, their lives haven't been perfect but they work at it and try because they love each other."

"I guess you are right. I just—don't know what I would do if I lost you and that scares me."

"What do you mean?"

Peyton started to tear up, "I love you and I just have lost so much, so many people I don't want to lose you."

"Peyton, why are you talking about losing me? We are going to be together, you and me "til death do us part."

Peyton dried the tears that fell. "You promise?"

"I do. Do you?"

"True love always, I do. See you soon."

Peyton hangs up as the bus stops. Peyton says her goodbyes and runs off the bus into Lucas' arms. She can't help but cry as their lips crash.

Lucas laughs, "Peyton it's only been 3 months."

Lucas decided to stay with her for 2 and a half more months until he had to go and meet with his publishers after their stop in New York.

"I know." Lucas gets her things from the bus as Peyton grabs her bags from the inside the bus.

"You ready for this?" Lucas says grabbing her hand.

"I have been waiting for this for so long."

Lucas and Peyton pull up at Peyton and Brooke's house.

"Brooke? You home?"

There was silence.

"Good she isn't home." Peyton tries to bring her bags into her room. Lucas stops her.

"Let me do it. Sit down."

"Lucas I am not helpless, not yet anyway."

Lucas shakes his head, "Peyton just sit down and it would make me feel better."

"Well can I at least get something to eat?" She says making her best puppy dog eyes that she knows he can't refuse.

"Oh okay" He concedes. Peyton walks over to the refrigerator but sees nothing she wants.

"Lucas?"

He comes out of her bedroom, "What's up?"

"I want a chili dog."

"Okay" Lucas says laughing.

"Mmm let's go to Checker's I want some of their fries too."

"Let's go."

xxxxxxxxxxx

They get Checker's and as they are leaving Peyton's cell phone rings.

Peyton has a mouth full of food, "Hey Brooke."

"What are you eating?"

"A chili dog and Checker's French fries," Peyton says rolling her eyes.

"Peyton you hate Chili dogs."

Peyton shrugged, "Apparently not."

"Whatever, I take it you are with Lucas?"

Peyton smiled at the mention of his name and looked over to him. "Of course"

"You know that new band you were telling me about?"

Peyton rubbed her nose and Lucas laughed when she still had ketchup on it. "Which one"

"Hate, or anger something like that." Brooke said rolling her eyes.

"What, you mean Downfall?" Peyton laughed out wiping her mouth.

Lucas couldn't take it anymore so he reached over and wiped her nose and smiled when Peyton looked cross eyed and licked his finger.

"Uh hello, Earth to Peyton"

"Oh yea sorry, what was that"

"I said, do you think you could get a showcase together for the fashion show next month?" Brooke whined.

"Oh yea, sure, they said they were coming to start working in a couple of days."

Brooke clapped, "Great and I need you to help decorate Tric and tell your husband to be to come too."

"Yea okay, see you in a bit okay?"

"Yep. Bye slut"

Peyton laughs, "Bye bitch."

Peyton hangs up and Lucas is smiling at her.

"What?"

"You just got back and you are already filling your calendar."

Peyton shrugged, "I don't know how to stop I tell you. Oh and Brooke has volunteered us to help set up with her fashions show as well as me getting entertainment."

Lucas sighed, "Peyton—"

Peyton rolled her eyes, "What? Lucas I'm pregnant not disabled!" She yelled.

"What? YOU'RE PREGNANT?" Haley had just walked up with Jamie in tow and neither one of them saw her.

"Yea we were going to tell everyone tonight." Peyton's cell phone rings.

"Yea Brooke"

"You're pregnant aren't you?" Brooke squealed.

"What?"

Brooke kinked her eyebrow, "Oh please, chili dogs? How far along are you?"

Peyton laughs, "Two months, but we have to go to the doctor's so the doctor's in Tree Hill will know."

"Congrats P. Sawyer"

Peyton smiles, "Thanks."

She hangs up. "Come here SIL to be and give me a hug."

They hug as Jamie sits there confused. "Uncle Luke what does pregnant mean?"

"It means you are going to have a little cousin in about 7 months and I am going to be a daddy."

"Awesome!!" Jamie knocks fists with Lucas.

Haley and Peyton say in unison, "He hangs out with Skillz way too much."

About an hour later Peyton and Lucas enter the doctor's office.

"Uh Sawyer-Scott?" A nurse calls looking at her chart.

"Right here" Lucas says raising his hand.

She smiles, "Right this way."

Lucas and Peyton follow the nurse and once they are in the room the nurse says, "Change into this and the doctor will be in shortly."

Peyton nods and does as instructed 10 minutes later the doctor enters.

"So what are we in for?" He says as he sits down.

"I am 2 months pregnant, I was on tour and went to a doctor in New Hampshire and she gave me these and told me to come see you as soon as I got home." She said handing him a folder.

He nods as he looks over her paperwork. "Well we should just go ahead and do a test to make sure everything is moving along well, okay." He states looking from Peyton to Lucas who are both nodding in agreement.

The doctor examines Peyton. "Well looks like everything is progressing as it should be."

Peyton feels there is more, "But—"

"But, you have a lot of scare tissue so you will have to be very careful and we will have to keep a close eye on the baby."

Peyton's smile fades when she hears this. She thinks back over the past year.

Lucas speaks up, "We have been thru a lot in the past year."

"Well hopefully this will brighten up the New Year." He says looking at the couple.

Lucas kisses a worried Peyton on top of her head as he shakes the doctor's hand. "I want to see you in every month."

"Yes sir" Peyton said looking at her shoes.

"If you have any questions don't hesitate to call the office. Congratulations."

Peyton and Lucas say, "Thank you."

Peyton gets dressed as Lucas pays and makes her next appointment. Peyton rubs her stomach the whole way home and is not paying attention to where they are going until they stop.

"Where are we?" She says looking around.

"I wasn't going to show you this for awhile but I think now is the time to show you."

Peyton looked at him, "Show me what?"

Lucas gets out of the car and holds his hand out for her to follow him. They are by the beach. Lucas stops in front of a house. "What do you think of this house?"

"It's beautiful. I love the porch. I would put a swing there and a table and sitting area over there and maybe set up a drawing area in the corner over there. Why?"

Lucas shrugs, "Just curious. Let's go check it out."

"Lucas this is crazy it's getting late, we are going to be late for dinner and the wind is picking up." She says pulling his arm back towards the car.

Lucas takes off his jacket and puts it around her shoulders. "Please?"

"Fine" She says pouting.

They walk up the walkway and enter the house. Peyton looks around and imagines what her life would be like in a house like this. They go thru all the different rooms and imagine a different scenario in each one. A game room, her child's bedroom, watching TV, even eating dinner then Lucas interrupts her thoughts.

"What is going on inside that head of yours?" He asks placing his hands on her shoulders.

She shrugs, "Just thinking."

"Well there is a reason I brought you here."

"I know and you should get it."

"Umm Peyton I already did, for us, not just me." He says dangling a key in her face.

Peyton nods, she wasn't really paying attention, "Oh okay—wait what?"

"Yea I bought it two weeks ago, I was just waiting to tell you." Peyton runs into his arms and kisses his face over and over again. She pushes away from him.

"Wait, what am I going to tell Brooke?"

"She is the one that helped me pick it out. She was going to sell the house and move in with Owen."

Peyton rubs her temples, "I was only gone for 6 months."

Lucas lets out a hearty laugh, "Well a lot has changed."

She nods.

Lucas and Peyton finally arrive at Naley's house where everyone was gathered. There was a big welcome back banner. Peyton was so overwhelmed she started to cry.

"I am such a girl. Sorry."

Nathan puts his arm around her, "It's okay Peyt."

"Well I have hormones coming out my ears. Oh sorry Luke."

He smiles, "It's okay."

"What? You're pregnant?" Karen asks walking over to them.

She nods thru tears. Karen reaches over to her and envelopes her. This makes Peyton cry harder.

"Congrats man." Nathan says clapping him on the back.

"Thanks." Lucas motions for Nathan to talk to him in private. They go into the kitchen.

Nathan crosses his arms, "What's going on?"

"I am going to need your help man."
