Tree Hill, North Carolina August 4, 2007

"Nate? Hales? Are you guys here?" Brooke shouted as she poked her head inside their house."

"Brooke oh my god, when did you get here?" Haley asked as she rounded the corner.

"I got in late last night with Sam. She is out in the car getting some clothes I brought you." Brooke said wrapping her arms around Haley. "Where is Nate and Jamie?"

"The boys are out back in the pool. Nathan is doing his exercises and Jamie is out there floating around with him." Haley replied.

"Oh good because Sam has her bathing suit and she is dying to meet Nathan and Jamie. She loves Riley so I know her and Jamie are going to get a long so well!" Brooke squeeled.

"Okay well when she gets inside I'll have to meet her and we can all go swimming." Haley laughed.

"So what's new with you? You look very happy and glowy." Brooke said as they sat down in the living room.

"Ha, it's uh funny that you mention that, because Nathan and I have some news." Haley said nervously.

"Oh well what's the great" Brooke started.

"Hello?" Sam called out quietly

"Oh Sam we're in here." Brooke said standing up.

"Here are the clothes." Sam said handing them to Brooke and staying close to her side.

"Sam this is my other best friend Haley. She is just about to tell us why she so happy so take a seat."

"Hi, Sam it's nice to meet you." Haley said holding out her hand and smiling."

"Hi Haley." Sam said shaking her hand.

"So you were saying." Brooke said after they all took their seats.

"Nathan and I found out two days ago that I'm pregnant."

"What, are you serious? That's amazing! How far along are you?" Brooke asked excitedly.

"I'm seven weeks today. It's still really early, but we're excited." Haley said smiling

"Haley!" Shouted an outdoor voice. "Can you come get Jamie so I can get out?"

"That's Nathan, come out back with me. He'll be excited to see you." Haley said getting up and leading Brooke and Sam through a glass door.

Haley, who was in shorts and a t-shirt, quickly stripped off her t-shirt and jumped into the pool in her shorts and bikini top. Brooke and Sam stood in the doorway as Haley took Jamie from Nathan and swam over to the side of the pool with him.

"Brooke can you take him please?" Haley asked.

"Yeah sure. He is my godson." Brooke said walking toward the pool.

"Hey Brooke when did you get here?" Nathan said looking up.

"You already missed this conversation Nate. I got here last night with Sam."

"Oh cool where is she?" Nathan asked as Haley helped him walk faster toward the stairs."

"She's over here. Sam come out here." Brooke said waving her out.

Once Nathan and Haley got out of the pool Haley handed Nathan a cane and he limped over to where Sam and Brooke were cooing over Jamie.

"Well since you're already wet can I hug you?" Nathan asked.

"Oh what the hell." Brooke said as she wrapped her free arm around Nathan. "Nathan this is my other daughter Sam. Sam this is Nathan one of my other best friends."

"Hey Sam." Nathan said nodding at her."

"So I heard someone is going to be a big brother next year." Brooke said holding Jamie up in the air.

"My dad got someone else pregnant!" Nathan joked as they all laughed their way into the house.

They spent the day tanning by the pool, cooking out, and planning for the new baby.

Brooke walked into Nathan and Haley's house without walking. Haley had gone to the grocery store with Jamie and Sam, while Brooke had offered to pick Nathan up from physical therepy. Brooke pulled up to the hospital where Nathan was waiting outside.

"I'm sorry I hope you weren't waiting long." Brooke said as Nathan got in the car.

"No actually I just got outside so we're cool."

"Okay good. I would have been waiting for you, but Julian called me right before I left." Brooke replied as she pulled out of the hospital parking lot.

"So, how is Peyton doing." Nathan asked.

"She still hasn't called you?" Brooke asked in disbelief."

"No I've been too busy to talk to her. I was really scared when I found out she fell. I'm glad her and the baby are okay."

"Well you don't even know the half of it. When I got to the hospital she had just woken up, but they wouldn't let Lucas see her and they didn't know about the baby. So I guess Lucas went back in the room with her so they could do the ultrasound and their doctor couldn't find a heartbeat. She didn't tell them that she just left and went and got an older doctor who told them that the baby died."

"Oh my god that's horrible. How did they find out the baby was still alive."

"Lucas followed both doctors out when they left the room and asked them to try again. The older doctor said no and that she was going to go talk to a nurse about inducing Peyton's labor to give birth to the baby. So she walks off and Lucas turns to their regular doctor. She said she'd do it, but they would have to keep the other doctor from coming in. That's when Lucas came and got me and told me to distract this doctor if she tired to get into their room. Then when the old doctor finally busted into the room they had found a heartbeat. Nate, you should have seen the look on the lady's face when this other doctor told her they found a heartbeat. It was priceless. She kinda apologized and then left really fast."

"Wow, Peyton must have been freaking out. Had Lucas and Peyton made up?" Nathan asked.

"Sam told me no. She said they didn't make up until the next day right before I got there with Peyton's clothes."

"I'm so excited to see her. I barely remember seeing her when she was here in June. Is she big?" Nathan asked excitedly.

"Ha yes she is. She is actually really huge, but it's only her stomach. Well and maybe a little bit of her butt. I keep forgetting that you've been there since almost the beginning." Brooke said laughing.

"Yeah I'm really excited to see her and surprisingly I'm really excited to see Luke."

"Lucas I'm pregnant not impotent. I can pack a box of clothes." Peyton sighed.

"Yes I know you're pregnant. You're eight months pregnant to be exact and the doctor said you needed to rest." Lucas said trying to get Peyton to sit down.

"Lucas so help me god if you say that one more time you're the one who is going to need rest because I'm going to beat you to a bloody pulp!" Peyton yelled. "We leave in three days and we still have a ton of things to pack so I'm going to help pack. The doctor said I could move around and pack. I will be sitting down anyways. I have all my clothes to fold."

"Yeah you'd think even though Brooke took three boxes full of clothes you'd barely have anything left. You still have at least two boxes worth." Lucas said.

"What do you expect. I'm best friends with clothing designer. I get free stuff all the time." Peyton said shrugging her shoulders.

"Fine pack your clothes, but in an hour you're going to take a nap." Lucas said leaning down toward Peyton's face.

"Deal." Peyton said before pressing her lips to Lucas' quickly.

"I don't know why you're mad at." Lucas said walking down the hallway.

"Are you kidding me? It's four in the morning and you don't know why I'm mad! Our flight doesn't leave until eight!" Peyton shouted as she waddled behind him.

"Yes, but we have to leave here by six-thirty at the latest and the movers Brooke hired are going to be here in ten minutes so go get dressed and make sure you have your suitcase packed, then when you're done I will have breakfast waiting for you." Lucas said.

"Ugh fine!" Peyton shouted before waddling back down the hall.

Tree Hill, North Carolina August 10, 2007

The morning moved quickly as movers were in and out of their apartment for an hour and a half. Peyton and Lucas got to the airport by seven against Lucas' own wishes. Their flight was five hours long with a twenty minute lay over in Charlotte. When Lucas and Peyton finally got to baggage claim it was twelve-thirty and Haley, Nathan and Jamie were waiting for them. Peyton immediately went to Nathan and hugged him as best she could. Lucas took Jamie from Haley and then pulled her into a hug. Nathan and Haley led them out the the waiting car. Nathan climbed into the drivers seat while Haley motioned for Peyton to take passenger seat. Lucas loaded the bags in the back of the car and then climbed in behind Peyton. They all agreed to go out to lunch at Rodney Grille.

"So Nathan and I have a bit of news for you guys." Haley said as they sat down.

"Oh yeah what's up?" Peyton asked.

"Well last week I went to the doctor and I found out I am pregnant." Haley said.

"Hales that's great! How far a long are you?" Lucas asked.

"I'm twelve weeks yesterday ." Haley said smiling.

"Now we'll have three Scott kids running around." Lucas said smiling.

"Who said I'm giving our son the last name Scott?" Peyton question looking at Lucas.

"Oh please we've had this conversation. There will be three Scott kids running around.

"So what you're due next year in late February?" Peyton asked.

"Yeah, February 21, 2008 is my due date."

"Well this is really exciting. I would suggest some celebratory champagne, but it would be no fun with just Nate and I."

"That's okay we can celebrate after both babies are born." Peyton said with a smile.

Tree Hill, North Carolina August 16, 2007

With a sharp intake of breath Peyton bolted up in bed. She sat there for a moment hunching over in bed as she let the contraction pass. She waited a moment until she finally caught her breath and looked at the clock. It was 3:20 in the morning. Lucas slept peacefully next to her completely oblivious to her pain.

"Luke." Peyton said shaking Lucas' side. "Lucas wake up?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Lucas said opening his eyes.

"I think I just had a contraction."

"Are you sure." Lucas said sitting up fully awake now.

"Yeah I think so. What should we do?"

"Well lets wait awhile until you have your next one that way we know how far apart they are."

Peyton and Lucas spent the next twenty minutes lying in bed with each other just waiting for another contraction to hit. Just as they were about to go back to sleep, at 3:45 Peyton felt a shooting pain go through her body. Lucas immediately grabbed Peyton's hand and tried to help her breath through it.

"You should call the doctor." Peyton gasped.

As soon as Peyton passed the contraction Lucas got up and called their doctor in Tree Hill.

" said to wait awhile until they become closer together. She said to try and get some sleep because you're going to need it later."

"Did you tell her the baby is three weeks early?" Peyton asked concerned.

"She said that's fine. She said it could go either way with the first pregnancy." Lucas replied calmly.

"Should we call anyone?" Peyton asked.

"I will call Nathan and Haley and you can call Brooke." Lucas said.

"Ring Ring"

"What the hell do you want?" Brooke said answering her phone.

"Brooke is that anyway to answer the phone when your best friend is calling to tell you that she is in labor?" Peyton said.

"What?" Brooke shouted sitting up.

"I'm in labor. It just started and I'm still at home, but I will call you when I go to the hospital." Peyton said laughing.

"Oh this is so exciting! Julian wake up!" Brooke shouted

"Hm? What do you want?" Julian mumbled into his pillow.

"Brooke don't wake him up." Peyton scolded.

"Shh I'm trying to wake up Julian. Julian wake up, Peyton is in labor!" Brooke shouted excitedly. "Okay we'll be on the first flight to Tree Hill." Brooke said hanging up her phone before Peyton could respond.

Naley's house

3:56am

"Ring Ring"

"What's wrong?" Haley asked as she answered the phone not bothering to look at the caller id.

"Hales, I'm gonna be a dad." Lucas said.

"Yes Lucas I know. Peyton told us about four months ago. Now why are you calling me at 3:58 in the morning?"

"No Hales, you don't understand I'm going to be a dad today." Lucas said even more excited than before.

"Peyton's in labor isn't she?" Haley shouted.

"What" Nathan said rolling over "the hell are you yelling about?"

"Nathan, Peyton's in labor!" Haley shouted. "Are you guys at the hospital?"

"No the doctor told us to stay here since her contractions are only like 25 minutes apart."

"Well you need to call us as soon as you guys go up there. I don't want to miss the birth of my godson." Haley said seriously.

"We will call everyone as soon as we leave for the hospital." Lucas laughed. "Hales could you do me a favor and call my mom. I want to go sit with Peyton before she has another contraction."

"Yeah sure no problem. Bye Luke!" Haley shouted before closing the phone.
