Chapter 12
*Month Five Part One*
It was April and basketball season had ended the month before with the Ravens winning the state championship.
*Peyton's House After School*
"I knew this would happen!" Peyton yelled throwing her third pair of jeans on the floor.
"Calm down, it's not the end of the world. You knew this would happen sooner or later." Haley sat on her bed.
"I was hoping for later."
"Let's go shopping." Haley suggested. "They have some really cute maternity clothes now."
"You mean fat woman clothes." Peyton said sarcastically struggling to pull on another pair of jeans.
"You're not fat, you're pregnant. There's a difference." Haley told her.
"Not to me." Peyton sighed.
"Just come shopping. What do you have to lose?" Haley pleaded.
"Alright, but if this is a horrible experience I won't let you live this down.
They got to the mall and Peyton stood outside the maternity store in denial.
"I can't believe I'm doing this." She mumbled as Haley pulled her inside.
"Look, don't you think Lucas would love this?" Haley asked holding up a green sundress.
"It's not so bad." Peyton agreed. By the end of her spree she had purchased three pairs of jeans, four pairs of capris, six shirts, the sundress and a black skirt.
"I told you it wouldn't be so bad." Haley teased. Just then her cell phone rang. "Hi Luke... Yeah Peyton's with me...Okay hold on." She said. "He wants to talk to you." She handed Peyton her phone.
"Hi Honey...Sure that sounds great. See you in an hour...I love you too. Bye." Peyton said. "He wants to go out tonight, this is our five-month anniversary.
"That sounds fun. You can wear one of the outfits." Haley suggested.
"Okay let's go. I only have an hour." They rushed back to Peyton's house.
"Which one should I wear?" Peyton asked holding up the green dress and the skirt with a red sweater.
"Well where is he taking you?" Haley wanted to know.
"He said it was a surprise and that he would pick me up."
"Then go with the skirt and sweater. It's safer." Haley told her.
"I agree. Thanks for the help."
"I have to go to work now. Have fun." She said before leaving. Lucas was at the door fifteen minutes later.
"Looks like someone went shopping." He commented on the bags of clothes.
"Yeah, I had to give in to the maternity clothes." She sighed.
"I think you look beautiful." He gave her a kiss.
"You better, you promised. Where are we going anyway?"
"You'll see." Lucas said pulling her out the door.
