Part 11:
With the prom only a few weeks away, Lucas decided to forget about the drawing for a while, at least until the prom. Peyton came back.
"Hey. Are you ready to party?"
"Hey. Actually I'm gonna take off"
"Why?"
It was pretty hard to see her in underwear and not want to hold her in his arms.
"I'll call you tomorrow"
"Lucas. What's wrong? It's raining outside"
Damn, he forgot. She was right.
"Yeah. Maybe I should sleep in the ground then"
"Don't be silly. There's enough space for us here"
"Ok"
Peyton slipped a silk gown on since she wasn't getting anywhere with Lucas. Then she slipped under blankets as she watched him take his clothes off, leaving only his boxers on. He laid down next to her. Peyton rolled over and her back was facing him. He found it very difficult to keep away from her. It was her plan actually. Lucas looked up and decided to give up. He cared about her a lot to treat her like this. He rolled over to her side and wrapped his arms around her, after placing a soft kiss on the back of her neck. Peyton trembled a little and smiled. She turned around a little to look at him. One arm was still around her and the other was supporting his head. They stared at each other, trying desperately to see what the other one was thinking.
"Lucas, I..."
He shushed her by placing his index finger on her mouth. Then he leaned over and kissed her briefly.
"Luke. Where's the love we had?"
"I don't know" He sat on the bed.
"I'm scared. Everything is bitter"
"Yeah"
"I wanna find it"
"Me too"
"This was the first time I felt anger in one of our kisses"
"Yeah"
"Whatever is bothering you, you can talk to me" She placed a hand over his.
"It's..." He held his thought. He couldn't tell. "The prom. It's all stressed out. Things, clothes"
"Yeah" Peyton knew he was lying.
"But you know what? I can forget about it for a while. I have a beautiful girl under me wanting to be kissed"
Peyton blushed a little.
"You look so cute when you blush"
"Lucas Scott effect" She smiled.
Lucas smiled before kissing her neck and shoulders softly. Peyton threw her arms around his neck and enjoyed the moment. All the pain they were feeling early were replaced by passion. They clapsed their hands as Lucas moved to kiss her mouth. They quickly ripped off each other's clothes and made love. A few hours later, they were resting in each other's arms.
"How was it for you?"
"Good. For you?"
"There was better"
Peyton placed her hand on her belly.
"How would you like to name the baby? You want it to be a boy or a girl?"
"A girl, and I'd like to name her Evelyn.
"Evelyn Sawyer Scott. Sounds nice"
"She would be a mini you"
Peyton giggled.
"Yeah"
"I mean it"
"You think so?"
"Yeah. A blonde curled girl with a talent for cheerleading and for basketball too"
Peyton smiled at the thought of the girl and for a moment she seemed to forget about the dilemma. She just wanted to seize the moment with Lucas.
"Do you realize that this time next year our daughter or son will be here?"
"Yeah. It feels so good but yet it freaks me out. I have no idea what to do to be a good father"
"I know what you mean. I'm afraid I won't be a good mother Luke. I really want to be"
"Shhh, it's ok. Let's not hurry now ok? Let's just enjoy the pregnancy"
"Ok"
"Tomorrow we're gonna go to the clinic ok?"
"Let's wait, at least until prom ok?"
"Ok"
Peyton snugged closer to Lucas' chest as he wrapped his arms around her tight.
"I love you so much Peyton. I don't think you'll never even know it"
Peyton looked at Lucas.
"How come?"
"Well, I say it but I feel like that's not enough you know?"
"Then don't say it, show it. If it makes you feel any better"
"Yeah"
He looked softly at her eyes.
"What you thinking?"
"Oh I'm just thinking how much I would dislike if you moved just an inch away from me. And how sad I'd be if you walked away through that door. I could hold you in my arms forever Peyton. I want to"
"Lucas"
"I mean it. I want to give you the family you've always wanted"
"Luke. I don't know what to say"
"Then don't. Just let me give it to you"
"Aren't you the sweetest?"
Both of them smiled as Lucas caressed Peyton's cheek. But her mind drifted back to the though of maybe carrying a baby from the younger Scott. Lucas would be so devastated. She couldn't do this to him. She had to end it.
"What's wrong?"
"Uh, nothing"
"Ok. I should probably go. I'll stop by later ok?"
"Ok"
"Take care" Lucas kissed her then her belly. "Call me if you need anything"
"Sure"
"Oh and get ready for a big night"
"What are you gonna do?"
"It's a surprise"
Once he was gone, Peyton rushed to the phone. She couldn't turn to Haley for help. She called the first person she could think of.
"Hey, it'd me. Peyton. Look, I need you to do me a favor"
"What favor?"
"I need you to go to the family clinic with me"
"Ok. Why?"
"No questions ok? I'll explain later"
"Ok. Sure. What time?"
"Now"
"Now Peyton? Ah ok. Fine"
"Thanks"
Peyton hung up the phone as she still absorbed who she called to. Lucas walked in the café.
"Hi mom"
"Hey. You didn't sleep at home"
"Yeah. I spent the night with Peyton"
"Did you use protection?"
"Mom, it's not... yeah I did"
"Good"
"Mom, I have something to tell you"
"Go ahead"
"Peyton... she is... pregnant"
"What?" Karen slapped him.
"Ok. I guess I deserve this one"
"God Lucas! You're just a kid! Both of you are"
"I know. I know. But we're going to university soon. I'm ready to start a family with her"
"Well, you being ready doesn't mean she is. You should talk to her about this"
"I know. This is what I want mom"
"But Luke. You'll have to find a job. The baby will make you spend a lot of money"
"Look who's talking. I can handle it mom. Peyton will help me"
"I know she will. But I worry okay? I'm afraid you run out of money or something"
"Well, that's a risk. Don't worry mom. It's a big decision. But nothing's official yet"
"First Brooke, now Peyton"
"Mom, with Brooke it was an accident. With Peyton... well, it was an accident. But I'm ready now"
"Okay. I can't prove you wrong. You're gonna be a great father"
"Thanks mom"
"Can I be surprised you called me?"
"Yeah. I need to do something and I couldn't turn to Haley or Brooke. Not that I want to see her cause I really don't. So I thought you could help me"
"Yeah sure"
"Just keep your mouth shut okay?"
"Okay"
Both girls walked in the clinic. Peyton wasn't sure about ending it or not. She didn't want to cause anymore trouble. They waited until the doctor called her.
"Peyton Sawyer"
"Good luck friend"
"Thanks"
Peyton stood and followed the doctor into his room.
"So, how long are you pregnant?"
"Two months I think"
"Okay. Let's see the baby"
Lucas called for Peyton but she didn't answer. He went upstairs and no music was playing. He was actually surprised she wasn't home, especially when she knew he was coming. It was when he began to worry. The psycho was still out there somewhere.
"Is it Lucas'?"
"Yeah, it is" Peyton smiled.
Just after that her cell rang. She saw Lucas' number in the ID.
"Hey baby"
"Hi"
"Where are you?"
"I'm at the woman's clinic. Bevin's with me"
"Thank god. I thought the stalker had kidnapped you Peyton"
"Sorry. I should have told you. I didn't want to worry you"
"I'm worried either way"
"Sorry"
"Nah it's okay. Bevin huh?"
"Yeah. I know"
"And how's the baby?"
"Fine"
"Peyton. I thought you said we wouldn't go to the doctor before the prom"
"I know Lucas. Let's not discuss about this here and now alright?"
"Okay. Alright Peyton. Whatever"
"Lucas. Don't be mad"
"I'm not"
"Luke"
"I'm going there and pick you up okay?"
"Sure. I love you"
"Bye"
As Peyton and Bevin walked out the women's clinic, they were met with Mouth and Skills.
"What are ya doing here baby? You're not pregnant are you?"
"No"
"Actually I am, Skills"
"Baby Scott coming"
"Yeah. I guess you could say so"
"What's wrong Peyton"
"Well... I need to talk to someone Mouth. If you don't mind"
"No, of course not"
"Thank you"
"So... what's up?" Mouth asked after he made sure they were away enough from Bevin and Skills.
"Well... there's a slightly chance this baby isn't Lucas'"
"Then who's it?"
"The other Scott"
"Nathan?!"
"Well, it happened. I wish I could take it back. But I can't"
"You cheated on Lucas!"
"He cheated on me too okay? Anyway, I don't need you to yell at me okay?"
"Sorry"
"I don't know what to do Mouth. Lucas will be very mad if I kill this baby"
"I don't blame him"
"But I can't do this to Nathan"
"Well, too late for that don't you think?"
"Yeah"
"So Lucas thinks it's his"
"Yeah. He came up with this family thing and I freaked out"
"Why? I thought that's what you always wanted"
"And it is. But not now. I mean I'm completely in love with him but I'm not ready"
"Well, I'm not the one you should be saying it to. It's guy over there"
Peyton looked over and saw Lucas leaned against his car, staring at her.
"I must deal with the beast. See you later. Thank you"
"See ya. Good luck"
Peyton walked over to Lucas. He kissed her softly and for a moment she forgot about the drama.
"We need to talk" He said after she closed the door.
"Lucas I'm sorry"
"We agreed on waiting Peyton"
"I know. I know"
"What's going on then? I really hope you're not keeping thngs from me"
Peyton remained in silence.
"Peyton. I've told you a million times I love you. You gotta love me back"
"I do Luke. I really do. I'm sorry I'm being weird these days"
"I worry okay? It scares me"
"Sorry"
"Sorry. Can't you say anything else?"
"Okay. I'll be honest with you"
"Thank you. So what is it?"
"I..." She stopped for a second. She couldn't do this to Nathan and Lucas. But she couldn't keep it inside. It was killing her. "Well..."
"Peyton. Just saw it"
"Okay. There's a chance this baby is not yours"
Lucas looked at her in shock.
