You know that feeling in the morning, right after you wake up? Usually it happens on good mornings? Those few seconds where you're not quite awake and the world seems perfect? For those few seconds all that exists in your world is the warmth of your bed and the sunlight that floods through your window? You have no worries and your life momentarily is just as you have always wanted it?
That's how Lucas Scott felt when he woke up the next morning, but the feeling didn't go away when he fully woke, it stayed. He lay on her bed and she lay next to him. In truth that was all he needed for his life to be perfect. He lay on his side, one arm stretched below her, the other placed on her rounded stomach. He had his fingers entwined with hers as she laid on her back her head facing towards him.
Her face was so peaceful and still. Her lips looked so perfect he wanted so desperately to cover them with his but didn't want to disturb this perfect moment. He had never seen her look so beautiful.
Peyton- You know you should ask before you do that?
He was shocked that she was awake she turned her body towards him pushing herself into his bare chest. She breathed deeply taking in his morning scent. He smiled and pretended to play innocent.
Lucas- Do what?
Peyton- Watch some one while they sleep.
Her eyes had still not opened as she snuggled into his chest. He lent his head down to kiss the top of her head.
Lucas- But you were just so perfect and you are my fiancé so I think that gives me watching rights.
He said it matter-of-a-factly. Peyton giggled softly into his chest, loving his answer.
Lucas- I could stay here all day.
He closed his eyes and lay his head close to the top of hers wrapping his arms around her.
Peyton- Too bad.
She jumped from the bed running quickly towards the bathroom. Lucas let out a funny moan of disproval.
Lucas- Oh come on!
She giggled happily at his reaction before she closed the bathroom door.

When she opened the door to the bathroom just minutes later he had turned from his previous position. She could see his eyes were closed and made her way towards him.
Peyton- Lucas?
He didn't open his eyes. She smiled widely at his behaviour.
Peyton- Lucas Scott are you pouting?
Lucas- Might be. What are you going to do about it?
Peyton- You'll have to open your eyes to see.
He opened one eye and saw her standing in front of him with a small white towel held loosely covering her body. He tried to seem unfazed by her actions.
Peyton- I have a surprise for you today as you had so many for me yesterday. But you need to get out of bed for it.
He laid still his eye still closed.
Peyton- Rather stay in bed, huh? Oh well, I guess I'll have to shower alone.
As she turned he opened her eyes. The towel she was wearing appeared to only cover the front of her body. He shot from the bed.
She heard him leave the bed and turned her head back.
Lucas- I think I can help with that.
Peyton- Yeah?
She raised her eyebrows seductively as she reached the bathroom with Lucas closely in tow.
Lucas- Definatly.
She giggled teasingly as his eyes grew wider when she dropped the towel and entered the shower.

An hour and a half later they were in Peyton's car with Peyton at the wheel.
Lucas- I still don't know where we are going.
Peyton- Good job I'm driving then. I told you it's a surprise.
Lucas groaned and threw his head back.
Lucas- I don't like surprises!
Peyton laughed at his response before turning off the ignition.
Peyton- We're here.
Lucas' head shot up.
Lucas- The hospital?
A look of sheer terror crossed his face.
Lucas- Peyton, what's going on? Are you alright?
Peyton was so amazed by how much he cared about her and the baby. She smiled.
Peyton- Yeah, everything's fine. Don't worry I have a doctors appointment. It's a good thing.
Lucas- I can come with you?
He was suddenly very excited. Peyton mimicked his excited tone.
Peyton- Yeah, you can come with me.

All through the time they had to wait and on their way to the room Lucas had bee babbling excitedly about the baby. Peyton was now wearing a nightgown and was position on top of the awkward hospital bed.
Peyton- Lucas please slow down.
Lucas- .. I mean is this your first appointment, well obviously its not but, you know, I'm really excited. Do we actually get to see it? Like the actual …
Peyton- Lucas! Stop!
Lucas quickly stopped talking.
Lucas- What?
Peyton gestured towards the door wear a female doctor stood displaying a happy grin.
Doctor- Its always good to see a happy father-to-be.
Peyton- Yeah, something like that.
She grinned at Lucas who looked back excitedly.
Doctor- Okay, Ms Sawyer …
Peyton- Please, call me Peyton.
Doctor- Okay, Peyton. We are just going to do another basic check up okay?
Peyton- That's fine.
Peyton lay back and the nurse applied gel to her stomach. Lucas held Payton's hand and grinned as the nurse began to look for an image.
The sound of the heartbeat took over the room. Peyton grinned she had heard it before and it always made her feel great. A lump appeared in Lucas' throat he had never heard a better sound. He stared at Peyton tears building in his eyes.
Peyton had never seen Lucas even come close to crying before. She realised right at that moment that she, her baby and Lucas would always be okay. She smiled at Lucas and he beamed back.
Doctor- Okay, would you like to know the sex?
Lucas and Peyton looked at each other before grinning and answering in unison.
Lucas/Peyton- Yes.
Doctor- Congratulations! Your having a baby boy.
Please Review!
