Episode 6 Chapter 4 No Surprise
Lucas, Peyton, Natalie, and Lucy walk into their house. "Take a seat girls," Peyton told them in a stern voice.
"We're sorry mommy…Isn't that enough?" Lucy asked.
"I don't think so." Peyton sat down beside them. "Who wants to tell me what happened?" The girls were silent. The teacher had already told her, but Peyton wanted to see if the girls would tell them the truth.
"Come on…we would love to know what happened?" Lucas looked at both of his girls.
"Daddy, this is a girl thing." Natalie told him.
Lucas felt his legs falling out from under him.
Peyton let out a slight giggle. She saw the expression on Lucas' face. He was heartbroken.
"Excuse me…you are only five."
"Yes daddy but we don't want to talk about this in front of you." Lucy told him. "Could you go?"
Peyton was in shock, but was loving the comedy show Lucas was putting on. His face was absolutely priceless.
"Okay…I'll go…but you guys can always talk to me about anything."
"We're not boys daddy." Natalie reminded him.
"I'll be upstairs." Lucas looks at Peyton and shakes his head.
The girls waited until Lucas had left. He was secretly listening from the top of the stairs. They were five. They weren't supposed to have girl problems or secrets from him. They were his babies.
"Okay so start talking…"
"Well," Lucy stood up with her hands on her hips. "Connor likes me."
"No he doesn't," Natalie stood up. "He plays blocks with me."
"But he holds hands with me." Lucy yelled at her.
Lucas was biting his bottom lip.
Peyton smiled. Wow how they started young these days. "Okay…sit back down…take a breather…the fight was over a boy?"
"Yeah Connor…he's the cutest…sweetest…boy in our class." Lucy told her.
"And he likes me."
"Wait," Peyton intervened before they could start arguing again. "Okay let me tell you something that I learned a long time ago. Friends are so much more important than boys. You should never let a stinky old boy get your way."
"But what do we do mommy?"
"I think you should both tell him that you just want to be friends….and you all can play together…"
"Will that work?"
"I think it will, and if he doesn't want to play with both of you together then maybe you should find other people to play with."
"That's no big deal mommy. We're popular." Lucy reminded her.
"Very popular….that's why Connor likes us…we're the cutest." Natalie smiled.
Peyton shook her head. She wished she could see Lucas' face. She knew it would be priceless.
"Well no more fighting over boys….no more fighting period….and I think your dad would agree with me when I say no TV for a week."
"Mommy," they both groaned.
"Hey…you got in trouble at school…you know the rules….now go upstairs and think about it okay…"
"Okay," they both gave her a hug and ran upstairs.
After he knew they were gone Lucas walked downstairs. "You know you ended up with the stinky old boy that came between you and your best friend." He laughed.
"Yeah but I figured I would leave that little detail out for…um forever…" Peyton kissed him. "You know I think everything will be okay."
"See I told you…As long as we have a boy."
"What? I thought it didn't matter."
"Oh it matters….I don't think I can handle anymore of this daddy you need to leave the room stuff…They are five…we're going to have to lock them up before they turn ten." He laughed.
"Yeah but you love every minute of it."
"Yeah I do, but," he touched her stomach. "I have a feeling this one is a boy."
"That's the feeling you had last time…you were dead wrong…We had two girls." She laughs.
"I'm right this time. I have that husband of a pregnant woman intuition….Everyone has it these days."
"I love you," she pulled him into a kiss.
In that moment she realized that everything would be okay. It always was as long as she had Lucas.
Summer walks into her apartment. Chase is waiting on her. "I love you so much."
"I love you too." Summer smiled. She was a little confused. "What's going on?"
"I saw you today with Jeremy. And at first I was jealous."
"Chase…"
"No look listen…I was wrong…I know that you and Jeremy are over and that we're going to be together for the rest of our lives."
"You have nothing to be worried about."
"I know that now."
Chase touches her face. "I don't know what I would do if I didn't have you in my life."
"Well you will never have to find out Chase because I'm going to love you forever." She leans in and kisses him. "You know I think we have some time before we have to pick up the boy."
"I think I know where you are going with this, and I'm so for it."
They fall back on the couch laughing and kissing each other.
Jeremy is still sitting with Colin. "So you stayed away because you thought it would be the best thing to do for me?"
"Yeah…I love you Jeremy. And I know that you don't think that is true, but I do."
Jeremy shook his head.
"I'll only stay in Tree Hill if that is okay with you. If you don't want me to stay then I will leave."
Jeremy didn't say anything.
"I'm sorry about what happened to you. I'm sorry that you lost basketball, and you lost your family."
"I guess I turned into you after all."
"No…you are nothing like me at all…" Collin shook his head. "You are a good person Jeremy. You just made some mistakes."
"Mistakes that I can never take back."
"No you can't…"
Jeremy sighs.
"But you can be the best father that you know how to be. I know you're a good father."
"Now I am."
"Well you didn't have a very good role model growing up, and I'm so so sorry for that."
"I can't blame you for all my mistakes." Jeremy told him. "And I can't keep blaming you for all of yours, but I'm not ready to let you back in."
Collin nodded.
"But if you give me time I might be able to let you back in eventually." Jeremy smiles at him. "I think you should stay here. Tree Hill is your home."
That was something Collin really wanted to hear.
"It's over." Holly told Shane. "Jeremy was hugging Summer. They are getting back together."
"Summer is getting married to someone else."
"Well it didn't look that way to me." Holly sighed and sat down. "We just weren't supposed to be together I guess." Holly didn't want to believe that but she had too. It was over.
McKenzie walks into the Tree Hill High office. "Hi…yes I need to get another students address. He missed a class today, and I need to take his stuff to him."
"Okay well just give me the name and I'll find it for you." The woman behind the desk told her.
McKenzie smiled. She was finally going to figure out what Mark was hiding.
Elizabeth is sitting on the other side of the window at the prison. Jared is brought in and sits on the other side.
He was surprised to see Elizabeth. "I wasn't expecting to have any visitors."
"I wasn't expecting to be one of your visitors." Elizabeth told him.
"Then why are you here?"
"Because you made me see that people make mistakes but just because they make mistakes that doesn't determine who they are." Elizabeth had tears in her eyes. "I got to know the real you. I hate you for what you did to me, but I don't think you were ever really that person. You just did a stupid thing. I don't want you to be in jail. I don't think jail is a place for you."
Jared was shocked to hear her say those words. He never expected her to feel that way.
Jessica finishes playing her song.
Jamie is amazed. "You are amazing." He walked over and hugged her. "My mom would be proud to hear you sing that song." They continue to hug.
Breanne walks in to see them hugging. She leaves without saying anything.
"Hey baby," Jacey walks into Keith's classroom.
"Hey," he was happy to see her. "How's my beautiful fiancé?" He kisses her.
"I'm perfect." They kiss again. "But you don't seem so perfect. What's wrong?"
"I had to fuss at my brother today. It wasn't a whole lot of fun."
Jacey makes a face. "Well you are his teacher, and if he is doing something he isn't supposed to be doing then it is your job to punish him."
"I know but it sucks."
"I see now that I am going to be the one doing all the punishing with our kids."
"I can punish our kids." Keith laughed.
Jacey smiled and kissed the man she loved again.
Savannah and Drake are walking down the hall together.
Charlie is standing next to three girls; Hannah, Kayla, and Corey. "You know you're sister is ruining her popularity." Hannah rolled her eyes.
"You better stop this." Kayla said.
"That guy is such a loser." Corey shook her head.
"I'll fix it." Charlie told them. He wasn't going to let his sister date such a loser.
Riley walks outside the school to see Millie sitting alone. "Hey," he sits beside her.
"Hey," she loved seeing him. "You are so hot."
"You're not so bad yourself." He kisses her forehead.
"I was thinking that we should go shopping for what you are going to wear to the junior high fall dance."
"What?"
"The junior high fall dance…we have to go together."
"I'm not in junior high."
"Yeah but your girlfriend is." She couldn't believe he didn't want to go.
"Millie I'm not going to some stupid dance okay…That's just not my think."
Millie was pissed. She was in junior high. He was her boyfriend. And they should be going to the dance together.
Lucas and Peyton are sitting on the couch. Lucas hands her a phone and he has a phone. "I want to tell the kids now."
Peyton smiled. "Me too…."
She couldn't believe she was having another baby after all these years. At least they were a family and they had each other.
Lily is holding Ansley. "I can do this myself." She told Spencer.
"I know. You are an amazing mother but you can't do it alone, and I have to go back to work."
"This is my job and I will manage. I don't want my kids to be raised by a nanny."
"They wouldn't be raised by a nanny. She would just help you out."
"The answer is no…and if you don't want to be here right now you can go back to work….I can handle things without you…." Lily walks off with Ansley.
Spencer sighed.
Okay so let me know what you thought and I will try my best to update tomorrow.
