Chapter 20: " What's the point in all the screaming "

The nurse looked back down at her sheet.

"Mr. Nathan Scott." She said looking at Lucas, who pointed to him brother.

"Me?" Nathan said in shock. "She's mine?" Nathan said again.

Lucas gave his brother who was still in shock a big manly hug while Haley stood back in the corner, arms wrapped around herself protectively, unsure of what to feel.

Nathan looked over at his wife with tears in his eyes. She smiles a small smile and then went to hug him.

"We can do this." She whispered in his ear.

He nodded.

Lucas had never seen his little brother so venerable before, but he knew, in time t hat he would make an amazing father.

Lucas kept Logan that last afternoon, and went to pick her up that night in Lukes apartment. Lucas sat Logans last bag by the door. He held Logan one last time as his own.

"You're beautiful." He said bouncing her up and down. "I wish that you had been mine… but your daddy is a good guy. Anyway, I guess I am your uncle now… But don't worry, I'll be right downstairs." Lucas told her. Nathan walked in just then. "Hey man."

"Hey."

"Where's Hales?" Nathan asked

"On the roof." Nathan responded. "Don't worry, she won't jump, she's pregnant." He said taking is daughter out of Lucas's hands.

"She's what!" Lucas said in shock. Haley was his best friend. How did she not tell him.

"Yeah." Nathan said nodding.

"All of her stuff is in here." Lucas said handing Nathan the final bag.

Nathan nodded.

"I wanna show you something." Nathan said gesturing for Lucas to follow him up to is place. Lucas headed out behind his brother, who was holding Logan, now asleep.

Nathan pushed the door open to one of his two guest rooms… The walls were painted a pale purple, and there was a border with purple dancing teddy bears. A new crib sat against the wall, with a matching dresser, rocking chair, and changing table. Teddy bears were all around the room. The curtains were while lace.

"So this is how you spent your afternoon?" Lucas asked looking around.

Nathan nodded.

"Yeah doing this and baby proofing the cabinets."

Lucas smiled at his brother.

"You can do it man." Luke said

"I've got to." Nathan said. "I've got another one coming in 6 months." He smiled.

Lucas walked back to his apartment thinking of Spencer and all of the time that he missed with him. But there was on thing that he forgot to think about…

"Marcy!" He said opening his door to see his fiancée sitting on the couch.

"So how did the tests go?" She asked not looking up. He went and joined her, head down and all.

"There is something that I need to tell you."

"But the tes-" He cut her off.

"I am in love with another woman." He said

"Excuse me!" Marcy said standing up.

"Well it's not some random woman off the street! She is the mother of my child!" Lucas said.

"Lucas how could you do this to me? I loved you!" She said crying hysterically.

"I am sorry. I am! It just happened."

"Love doesn't just happen Luke!"

"With Peyton and I it happened a long time ago, it's been happening. I am so sorry Marcy. I NEVER in a million years wanted to hurt you!"

"Well you did." Marcy said. She turned and sat her ring on the coffee table. "You hurt me a lot Luke." She said before she left the building.

Peyton and Jake sat in Jakes apartment talking over coffee.

"So Spencer is asleep in the back with Jenny?" She asked

"Yeah." Jake said "Can't pull those two apart if we tried."

"This situation is just asking for trouble." Peyton said laughing

"Do you believe that you can meet your soul mate when you are young?" Jake asked taking a sip of his coffee.

"I believe that you can meet your soul mate in the womb." Peyton said

"You mean that your soul mate could be your brother or sister?" Jake asked

They laughed.

"YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN! You can meet your soul mate whenever." She said

"Do you think that Lucas is your soul mate?" He asked

"This conversation is so over!" She said laughing.

"No really though. Do you think that he is?"

Peyton shrugged.

"Today he tried to kiss me…" She said

"Did you kiss him back?"

"No. He is still engaged to Marcy. I don't want to be the "other" girl again."

"Well I don't think that you are going to have to be "that girl", much longer." Jake said s smiling.

I know Haley wasn't in it but she will have a big part in the next chapter.
