Chapter 13

*Month Five Part Two*

Lucas led Peyton out to the car and blindfolded her.

"Can you please tell me where we are going." She insisted.

"No it will ruin the surprise."

"What possessed you to do this in the first place? It's not even our six month anniversary."

"Haley told me how badly you were feeling lately and I wanted to do something special for you." He confessed.

"That's really sweet but I wish I knew where you were taking me." She sighed.

"Well you don't have to worry about that now, we're here." Luke leaned over and took off the blindfold. She opened her eyes and realized they were parked in front of the movie theater. All of the lights were off.

"Lucas it's closed." Peyton said sadly.

"Just come with me. It's not what you think." He took her hand and went inside. The theater was empty accept for the manager.

"You must be Lucas and Peyton. Come with me." The manager stated. He sat them in the very back and went to start the film.

"What is this about?" Peyton was bewildered. "And how does he know our names?"

"You are so impatient." The lights dimmed and the screen turned white. Pictures of Peyton and Lucas through their lives' came up starting with baby pictures until they got to the present. Then the sonogram picture from their first doctor's appointment appeared. Peyton squeezed Lucas's hand and he know that he had achieved his goal. The rest of the baby's pictures of the baby joined the original. The movie ended with the words 'I love you Peyton' written on the screen.

"Oh Lucas." Peyton started to cry. He gave her a kiss.

"Did you like it?" He asked.

"I loved it. How did you get all the pictures?"

"I did some investigating and got a little help from your dad." He told her.

"This is so sweet of you. This is why I love you." She wiped a tear from her cheek, "I can't believe I'm crying."

"It's okay, crying is good." He comforted.

"Thank you for this. It really did cheer me up."

"I'm glad to hear it because I hate to see you suffer because of me."

"Not because of you, because of us. This is us." Peyton took Lucas's hand and placed it on her stomach. They thanked the manager and went back to Lucas's house. They were surprised to find Deb's car in the driveway.

"I wonder why she's here." Peyton said.

"Let's go find out." Lucas suggested. They walked in the door and Karen was sitting on the couch next to Deb.

"I'll let you guys talk." She said before slipping out the door.

"Mom what are you doing here?" Luke ran over to her.

"I decided to come home a week early and surprise you." She gave her son a hug. "Oh Peyton, how are you feeling? You look wonderful." Karen hugged Peyton.

"Thank you Ms. Rowe. I'm doing pretty good."

"Oh please call me Karen. You're having my grandchild. You're family now." Peyton blushed when Karen said this.

"Now we really have to talk about this." She Karen pulled them over to the couch. "I know you want to keep the baby but have you made any other decisions?"

"We know that we both want to go to college but we're not sure where yet." Luke replied.

"Well you need to start figuring these things out. In a few months you will have a baby to take care of and you won't have time to think about college." Karen explained before starting to cry.

"Mom are you okay?" Lucas asked.

"Yeah, it's just overwhelming. I mean I knew about you guys but now coming home and seeing you together really brings it home....You know what, let's do this some other time."

"Okay, Peyton I'll take you home." Lucas stood up.

"I was nice talking to you Ms Ro- I mean Karen." Peyton called before leaving.
