It was 7 O'Clock at night, and October and Lucas had just finished cleaning up after dinner.
"So, what DO you want to do tonight?" Lucas asked.
"Do you love me?" October smiled.
"Of course I do," Lucas laughed.
"Can Lilly sleepover please?" October smiled.
"Sure," Lucas said, "But first do you want to go to the River Court with me?"
"Yeah sure! Can we get icecream?" October said excitedly.
"Okay," Lucas smiled.
On the way to the river court, the two stopped into an ice cream shop and got a two scoop
each. They also ran into Tim.
"Wow, Luke landed yourself a young one hey?" Tim said holding up his hand for a high-five,
"No, okay." Tim put his hand down.
"Yeah not really," Lucas laughed.
"Oh, right, you two are just good friends right?" Tim winked, "She kinda looks like Brooke."
"That's because she's Brooke's daughter," Lucas explained.
"Man I bet you she would freak on you if she saw this," Tim said putting his hand up again.
"No, she's my daughter to you idiot," Lucas laughed.
"Oh, gosh, I'm going to go over here now," Tim said, walking away.
After the two had walked to the court they sat on the old picnic table.
"So..." October said.
"Yeah," Lucas said.
"What are you going to do?" October asked.
"I have no idea," Lucas replied, "I'm turning into my father all over again."
"No you aren't," October said.
"Yeah, two children, at the same time, different mothers," Lucs said, "I'm my father."
"You mean the abandoner slash murderer? You guys might have the same situations to deal with but you're not him," October smiled.
"Thanks," Lucas smiled back, "So, how are you feeling about this?"
"Excited, I get to be a big sister twice, but I'm upset on my mom's behave," October explained.
"She isn't too happy, I can tell you that, can't blame her at all though," Lucas sighed.
"What about Peyton, how is she?" October asked, "How far along is she?"
"Peyton just seemed scared, which is understandable, and she says she's just over two months pregnant," Lucas stated, "Now are you willing to brea your mother's code of secrecy and answer some of my questions."
"Possibly," October said.
"When did your mom find out?" Lucas asked.
"We both went to the doctor's..two days ago I guess," October said.
"And everything was fine?" Lucas asked.
"Yeah, but I think you need to talk to her about this, more than me," October said softly.
"I know, I figured she would want some time with Haley first," Lucas said putting his head in his hands.
"She would, you know her pretty well, huh?" October asked.
"I met her in grade 11, so about 18 years now, I knew her before that, but that's when we began talking," Lucas smiled.
"It's so weird to think of her in highschool, and that she's had a past and stuff before me," October said.
"It's so wierd to be thinking of YOU in highschool, grade 10 is almost over, feeling old?" Lucas asked.
"Kind of, we have to choose our courses on Monday, I have no clue what to take," October laughed.
"Well, what do you want to do in college?" Lucas asked.
"I'm not sure yet, that's the thing," October said.
"What do you like to do?" Lucas laughed.
"Everything," October said laughing, "I like clothing class, I love english, I like science, I like Math, I like sports, I love foods class, mainly because I get fed food other than poptarts, and I really like social studies. I'm a complete nerd! I just don't know what I like the most, and what I'd like to do for the rest of my life."
"I guess you will just have to take a bunch of random courses next year, you'll figure it out, don't worry," Lucas said, "Maybe you will even get a schoalorship from the soccer team."
"Yeah, I applied to go to this program for soccer in California over the summer, I got in," October said excitedly, "I don't know about leaving mom though."
"That's great! I'm so happy for you. You're definitly going, your mom will be fine with all of us here," Lucas said.
"So, are we just going to sit here, or are we going to play?" October said kinking her eyebrow.
"You look freakishly like your mother you realise," Lucas grinned.
"You should see me when I try!" October laughed.
October grabbed Lucas' basketball and quickly whipped it at his head, 'Think fast."
"Hey! Not cool, I'm not even going to go easy on you now!" Lucas said loudly.
"Bring it on dad!" October yelled back.
They both played for about a half hour, when they decided they should go pick Lilly up.
As they were walking to Karen and Lilly's house, they ran into Peyton who was holding hands with a man October had never sen before.
"Peyton?" Lucas said, as they neared the couple.
"Oh, my god, um hi Luke," Peyton said, letting go of the man's hand.
"Who's this?" Lucas asked.
"This is Matt, from work," Peyton explained.
"Hello, nice to meet you," Matt said holding out his hand, which Lucas uphappily shook.
"This is...October," Peyton said to Matt.
"My daughter," Lucas said.
"Nice to meet you too," Matt said.
"Nice to meet you." October replied, "Hello Peyton."
"Hi," Peyton said looking at the ground, "So, We better be going."
"Okay," Lucas said, as he started to walk away.
"Peyton?" October asked.
"Yeah?" Peyton said.
"Can we talk for a minute?" October questioned.
"Uh, I suppose so," Peyton said, confused. Why was Brooke's daughter wanting to talk to her?
The two girls walked away from Lucas and Matt.
"My dad told me," October said.
"I figured he would, I'm guessing your mom knows too?" Peyton asked.
"Yeah, he told her," October said, "I just wanted to tell you that even though things between my mom and you aren't exactly...good at all, I would like to have the chance to be apart of your baby's life, if you are okay with that?"
"Your mom won't be happy with that," Peyton said softly.
"Do I really care?" October smiled.
Peyton laughed, "No, but yeah of course, I guess are kind of are the baby's big sister."
"And I'm a good babysitter too," October smiled.
"Good to know," Peyton smiled.
"I guess we should go back there before dad starts drilling that Matt guy on his whole history," Octobr laughed.
"Yeah, probably," Peyton smiled, "I like you, and I really didn't want to."
"I like you too, and I wanted to like you, otherwise this whole thing would be even more screwed up than it already is." October said.
"Yeah, your dad who is your mom's boyfriend's ex girlfriend is having his baby, it is fairly screwed," Peyton said sadly.
"Not only that, but my mom's pregnant too," October said.
"Oh my god," Peyton said, stopping in her tracks, "She must be freaking right out."
"Girl's night with Haley, does that tell you anything?" October asked.
"Oh yes, she is freaking out," Peyton nodded.
"And she is going to freak out when she knows that I actually talked to the dreaded evil backstabbing girl of a best friend Peyton Elisabeth Saywer," October said dramatically.
"Ahh, when will the drama of Tree Hill end?" Peyton asked.
"Never," October smiled.
