Author's Notes: Thanks to all who are following my story, I REALLY appreciate it!!

  Well, here's the ninth chapter to the story, and I wanted to add a twist because so many stories have just the couples getting pregnant and it all ending happily ever after.  Well, I didn't want to be like everybody else, so I twisted it up a little bit.  Again, thanks to all who reviewed and all who are reading this story.  Please review and tell me if you like the twist or not.  ENJOY!!!!

***FLASHBACK:  "Peyton," he said, "I really have to tell you something… Please don't get mad."

END OF FLASHBACK***

"Peyton, don't get mad, but you know me and Brooke went out for so long, right?  And you know how we were all caught up in some kind of love triangle, right? Well, right after Brooke and I broke up, we hooked up, right?  So really it has only been like a couple weeks since Brooke and I broke up, right?"  Lucas was getting nervous and getting really scared about everything that was happening. It felt like he was drowning and couldn't help himself.

She was scared of what Luke was about to say, and she really didn't wanna hear it.  "And…?"

"Well, she just called and said… that she's… pregnant too…" Lucas looked down at his shoes.  He felt like th e lowest guy on earth.  Why didn't he just get the whole Tree Hill female population pregnant?  He thought sarcastically. 

"Oh My GOD! I can't believe you!"   Peyton jumped up and slapped him on the face, leaving a red handprint across it.

"I guess I deserved that."

"You deserve way more than that, Mr. Scott.  Did you plan to do the same thing as your dad?  Did you plan to be just like him?  Did you? DID YOU?"  Peyton's face was red by now, her fury raging as hot as a fire. 

Lucas never thought of it that way.  In a way, he was acting exactly like his dad.  But, in a different way he wasn't.  He really wanted to be a part of Brooke and Peyton's life.  He also wanted to be in his children's lives.  He knew he would be a better father than his father ever was.  But, the problem was, could he convince Peyton and Brooke-who both hated him, by the way- that he was going to stick around and be there for them?  He knew he had to tell his mom, and Keith.  But, more importantly, he had to convince Peyton that he loved her, and that he was going to be there for her.  Because he knew how Peyton was, and he knew she would end up doing something crazy if he didn't talk to her.    

"Peyton, I am really sorry.  I do love you, I promise.  And I really want to be here for you and our baby.  But, you have to let me be there.  You can't push me away.  It is my baby too."  Lucas felt like the lowest person in the world.

"Whatever.  I love you too, but I can't believe you anymore."  Peyton was sad again, and Luke knew she was going to get in one of her depressed moods again.  "Just leave me alone for now."  Luke left a depressed Peyton, lying on her bed. 

Peyton knew what she had to do.  She picked up the Tree Hill phone book, and looked under DOCTORS.
