Thanks to those who have reviewed, favourite, or alerted this story it means a lot to me!

It's Friday morning- game day, the first game of the season and Lucas couldn't be more nervous or excited. He wakes up at 5.30 like normal except today he doesn't have to train the boys so he can stay in bed and hold Peyton for just a few more hours. He can't believe how lucky he got, never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that having a one night stand in Vegas 7 months ago would have been the best decision he had ever made. Peyton is lying on her back so he pull down the covers over her stomach careful not to wake her up, he then lifts up his shirt that she is wearing to reveal her protruding stomach that is holding his twins. He gently places his hand over her stomach and rubs it softly as he can feel the kicks of his little babies- letting him know that they are there. He leans down and places two kisses to Peyton's stomach, one where he felt each kick. He then leans back and smiles. His face is still so close so he does what he does every morning before Peyton wakes up, he talks to his kids. "Good morning babies, I really can't wait till I get to meet you, your getting so big... I just want to let you know that I already love he both of you more than life itself, so I need you guys to do daddy a favour... I need you to look out for each other, because there are only three more months until we can meet you; you both need to come out strong and healthy babies. You also need to give your mother a very easy birth so one day when you both are older I can talk her into having more babies with me. And, like always I promise that I will get a commitment out of your gorgeous mother before your first birthday."

Lucas kisses Peyton's stomach one more time as he feels a hand playing with his hair and a whispered "Morning Luke" he looks up with a smile on his face, and leans back up towards Peyton's face and places as soft gentle kiss to her lips.

"So you're talking to the twins again?"

Lucas smiles as he tries to hide his blush "Yes, how did you know?"

"You've been doing it every day for the last month- the twins have made me a light sleeper" Peyton says with a laugh, Lucas buries his head in Peyton's chest as he lets out a muffled groan whilst she is laughing at him.

"I can't believe you promised the twins that you would get a commitment out of me by their first birthday, and how the hell can you already be thinking about having more kids?"

"Well to answer your last question, it is a hell of a lot of fun making the babies" he then starts placing butterfly kisses all over her neck and down her chest as he un buttons the shirt that she is wearing, and he slowly makes his way down, until Peyton pulls his head back up to meet hers in a searing kiss. When they pull up for air Lucas says "maybe we could practice." As he slowly enters her Peyton screams "God I love game day"

It's 8am and after a nice breakfast and an amazing shower the soon to be parents are heading off to school, "ride with me Miss Sawyer" Lucas whispers in Peyton's ear as he takes her keys from her hands, he then moves away and opens the car door for Peyton and waits for her to take a seat. He closes the door, and leans through the open window and gives her a soft kiss before he walks to his side of the car and takes a seat and drives off to school.

They pull into the school parking lot that is surrounded by students, and they get out of the car- Lucas grabs his bag, and Peyton's bag from the back seat and without realising that they have an audience he gives Peyton her bag, places his hand on her stomach and whispers something into her ear that makes her smile, before giving a gentle kiss to her forehead. They then walk off towards the school together leaving the student body in the car park to marvel at what they just saw.

Peyton is sitting in her senior art class, and is surprised at how quiet her class is, she looks around at her students, and notices that they are all smiling and giving each other sly looks. So her being the 'cool teacher' that everybody likes thinks that she can get to the bottom of this. She gets up from her chair- slowly mind you, and with the help of the table. She then walks around her desk and leans on it. Peyton's movement gets her classes attention.

"Ok guys, what's going on? Are you nervous about the game tonight?"

Q one of the basketball players speaks up "Nah Coach Scott has prepared us pretty well for tonight we're just anxious to get on the court tonight. Thanks for your concern Mrs. Scott" Q says as the class tries not to laugh. Peyton is sitting there with shock written all over her face when a female student says "how the hell did you score Coach Scott his a hottie" and before Peyton answers Q buts in once again, and says "the question is how did Coach Scott score Miss S"

Peyton says as she puts on her teacher voice as she says "Ok guys quiet down, and explain to me what you're talking about." Her hand is gently rubbing her stomach where the twins are kicking as she waits for one of her students to explain the situation to her.

The class is quiet for around five minutes until Laura speaks up "We were in the car park this morning and we saw you get out of Coach Scott's car, and you both were very cosy."

Michelle then joins in and adds, "He rubbed your stomach, whispered something to make you smile in your ear, and then kissed your forehead as you guys walked towards the school."

Peyton is standing there trying to comprehend what her students were telling her. "So you saw us this morning?" and at her questioning look the entire class screamed "YES."

"So how did you guys get together, is he goanna be your baby daddy?" Louisa asks slyly.

Peyton is still gently rubbing her stomach and blushes at that question- "as your teacher, I'm not supposed to talk about my love life."

"Oh come on Miss Sawyer" Q says, "At least if you tell us the truth you won't be any rumours going around the school."

"Ok fine" Peyton gives in, "but I'm only giving you the cliff notes, and when I finish you HAVE to get back to work."

Peyton is just standing there trying to get her thoughts in order, what the hell is she going to say to her students, she can't tell them that she got pregnant from a one night stand and only found the father because coincidently he was the brother of your best friends fiancé who none of them have met before. So instead she sticks to the basis of what she and Lucas told Principal Turner.

"So I went to Charleston over the summer break- I went on my own for two months of rest and relaxation. Coach Scott used to live there, and we met halfway through my second week. We got along really well and started dating. After the two months were over I came home and we kept a long distance relationship going, and we would see each other every weekend. I found out that I was pregnant, and told Lucas- he was over the moon and it worked out really well because he then told me that he applied for a coaching position here and got it."

"Wow, so he was moving to Tree Hill, packing up his life just so he could be with you, how romantic." Jessica says with an awestruck expression on her face.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Peyton says whilst smiling "now get back to work before I fail you all."

Peyton has a free 4th period so she heads off down to the gym so she can visit her baby daddy. She knocks on the door, and to her surprise Nathan answers it "hey Nate, what are you doing here?"

"I couldn't very well miss my brothers coaching debut now could I?"

"I guess not" Peyton says as Nathan releases her from a hug.

"So what are you doing here Sawyer? Came to see my brother did you, I didn't know you knew him." Peyton slaps Nathan up the back of the head "Shut it Nathan." She then excuses herself and approaches the man in question. Lucas is sitting at his desk watching his girl interact with his brother, and he can't help but smile at the friendship that they have. He is bought out of his thoughts as he sees Peyton slap Nathan across the back of the head before she approaches him. He slides his chair out from under his desk so Peyton has enough room to sit on his lap. She smiles at him when she sees this move and he grabs her hand and pulls her down on top of him, slowly joining their lips together, whilst one of his hands moves to tub her belly.

Nathan is standing near the door clearing his throat trying to get his brother and best friend to remove their mouths from each other. When he finally manages to slam the office door, the two blondes finally break apart. "Was that necessary Nate?" Lucas asks with annoyance in his voice whilst Nate raises his eyebrows and says "well yeah" Peyton just buries her head on Lucas's shoulder as she says "Nate don't you have your own wife you could be kissing right now?"

Nathan pouts his face before he says "yeah but she's in class and won't ditch to make out with me- I already asked."

Lucas and Peyton try to stifle their laughter at what Nathan just said because that is so Haley.

"Luke, I actually needed to talk to you about something" Peyton says after she composes herself.

"Do you want me to leave?" Nathan asks.

"Nah its fine, nothing bad I promise."

"What's up Peyt?" Lucas asks

"Well I had an interesting conversation with my students this morning, after calling me Mrs. Scott" Peyton blushes whilst saying that "they told me that they saw how 'cosy' we were on the car park- and I relented and told them that you were my baby daddy and that I spent 2 months of the summer in Charleston and I met you on my second week there. When I came home we had a long distance relationship and saw each other on weekends, and when I told you I was pregnant, you told me you got a job here."

"Wow, you gave them heaps of info" Nathan says "But I thought you guys had a one night stand"

"Nathan Scott- do you want to die?" a feisty Peyton asks. Nathans response is to just laugh in the corner.

Lucas grabs her attention back to him and is about to speak before Peyton buts in one more time "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have given them so much information- but you know how teenagers and rumours are..." Lucas cuts off her rant by placing a kiss to her lips, they slowly pull apart and Lucas says, "Its ok baby, I like that story of how we met so we will stick to that, plus I don't want any random rumours going around about you or our babies."

Peyton just rests her head back down on Lucas's chest and he holds her just a little tighter.

The quiet is disturbed by a knock on the door; Nathan doesn't wait for Lucas and Peyton to separate before he opens the door "So apparently Miss Sawyer snagged the hot coach Scott" Haley says as she walks through the office door, they all can't help but laugh at that. "Yeah how did I manage that?" Peyton asks sarcastically "well you did get pregnant" Nathan teasingly responds "that's it; you have just forfeited your god father rights." Peyton says as she pouts like a four year old.

"Not that I don't love being stuck in this office with all of you, but it's lunch time and the sun is out, how about we head out doors for some vitamin D" Lucas says as he gently pushes Peyton up off his lap and the four of them head out to lunch in the quad just like when they were in high school. Only this time they're not the Jocks and the cheerleaders they are the basketball coaches and teaches, and life doesn't seem so simple anymore.

"Are you boys ready for the game tonight?" Haley asks, Lucas takes a deep breath and says "The boys still have a long way to go but it should be good"

"Yeah well the twins are defiantly excited for the game tonight; they have been going crazy all day- I guess they can't wait till they see their daddy in action for the first time." Peyton leans over and rests her head on Luke's shoulder as he rubs her kicking belly.

"Speaking about the twins" Haley asks, "Do you know if you're having basketball players or cheerleaders or one of each?"

"we do have an appointment in a week so hopefully we will find out then" Lucas says with a huge smile on his face, one he gets whenever he talks about his soon to be twins.
