Chapter 16
The entire gang spends the rest of the night catching up with everyone and their life. Finally the night was ending the everyone decided to go home because they were tired. It had been an emotional day, meeting and getting to know everyone again. They all decided to meet at the riverside court the following morning, so the guys could play some games like they did in highscbool and the girls could just sit around and cheer and catch up since they didn't have a lot of time tonight.
Lucas and Peyton head home to spend a night together, the kids were with Keith and Karen that night and they were thankful because Lucas and Peyton had not spent a night alone since the kids were born.
Lucas: Pety what are we going to do tonight since the kids are with my mom, we have the entire house to ourselves (they had rented a house while staying in Tree Hill)
Peyton: Oh I am sure we can think of something (said with a devilish grin)
Lucas: Peyt get your head out of the gutter, I nmean don't get me wrong, there will be plenty of time for that, but I mean what about tonight what did you think of everything?
Peyton: I don't know, I guess it was great seeing Nathan and Haley again, we hadnt seen them in such a long time, plus I miss Jenny I cant wait to see her tomorrow, it has been ages, do you think she remembers me?
Lucas: I am sure she remembers you, you spent a lot of time with her in highschool babysitting her. I am sure that Jake and Brooke talk about you all the time
Peyton: That's the thing, I don't know if they do talk about me
Lucas: Trust me they do, why would they? Everyone loves you, especially me
With that Lucas leans in and gives Peyton a nice long passionate kiss
Peyton: Well Mr. Scott I do believe we should be going to bed now
Lucas: Speaking of bed Mrs. Scott I think I can find a few things to do before we go to bed, maybe to even tire you out
Lucas, being the ever romantic sweeps Peyton off her feet litterally and carries Peyton into the bedroom where Peyton found flowers and candles waiting for her
Peyton: Lucas what is this?
Lucas: Honey you don't think that I would forget about our anniversary
Peyton: Honestly I kinda forgot about it, with the excitement of the reunion and everything, I just kinda figured that maybe we would not celebrate it, or celebrate our anniversary when we got home. So I am sorry I don't have your gift here or anything
Lucas: Don't worry about it, it is my night to pamper you for everything you do for both me and also the kids
With that Lucas reaches into his pocket and pulls out a ring box. Peyton has a surprised look on her face
Peyton: Luke what are you doing?
Lucas: Well I thought that maybe it was time to upgrade your rings
Peyton: I love my rings thought Luke they mean so much to me
Lucas opens the box and Peyton lets out a big gasp
Peyton: Luke where did you get this?
Lucas: I talked with your dad for months and we finally found it and I decided to get it polished
Peyton: I thought that ring was gone forever, I always wanted to wear it, and thank you so much, I will cherish this for the rest of my life. I love you so much.
Lucas: Well since I knew you always wanted it, and I could not find it for either our engagement or wedding, I figured for a special annviersary, I would spend as much time I could to find your mothers ring and give it to you. I know how much you miss her and wish she was here to watch her grandkids grow up and see you get married, but now at least you can have a part of her both of you always cherished
Peyton: How did I get so lucky with you Luke
Lucas: I always ask myself the same question aout you, we must been good in some other life
Peyton: Thank you so much for everything you have done for me, I love you with all my heart
Lucas: I love you Peyt, thanks for such a good life
With that they share a very passionate kiss and then dift off into a dreamless sleep
The next morning Peyton wakes up and looks over at her left hand making sure last night was not a dream
Peyton: I still can not believe Luke did this for me (she is talking to herself, she thinks Luke is still asleep)
Lucas: Believe it babe, it is true you were not dreaming
Peyton: I didn't know you were awake, I hope I didn't wake you up
Lucas: No I have been up for awhile now, just thinking, it seems unreal that it has been 10 years since we have graduated highschool, I mean it still feels like yesterday we were all saying our goodbyes
Peyton: I know, I mean I don't think that we believe that Tim would be successful and married, and I mean same with Nathan, I knew that he was going to Stanford but I always figured somehow he would end up in basketball, either playing or doing something behind the scenes. Not working under the third richest man in the world
Lucas: Life has changed on us. I mean we have kids, Tim and Izzy have kids, Brooke and Jake are soon going to be a family with kids, and in 9 months Nathan and Haley will be having a little baby joining them
Peyton looks shocked, of course she knew that Haley was having a baby, I mean Haley had told her the other day, but she had never told Luke, so she had no idea that he knew
Peyton: Luke how did you know that Haley was pregnant, I didn't talk in my sleep or anything like that again did I?
Lucas: Nope, don't worry you didn't give it away, Nathan told me the other night in the limo Peyton: Wait, how does Nate know Hales hasn't told him yet
Lucas: You forget that Nathan was always sneaky. I mean he use to have to sneak around all the time when living with his dad
Peyton: I know he is sneaky, but how did he find this our
Lucas: Haley had been acting strange the last couple of days and Nathan didn't know why, at first he thought that it was the stress of work and also the stress of the reunion, so he put it out of his mind for a few days. A couple days later he found her pregnancy test aand saw that it was positive. He never told her figuring that she would come to him, and she still hasn't yet which kinda scares him
Peyton: How, Hales knows nothing about this at all. She is afraid to tell him actually I mean she thinks that he doesn't want to be a father because of Dan
Lucas: See that was in the past, I mean at first I didn't think I wanted to be a father either cause of Dan and look at me now, I have kids and I love it. He has come to understand that, and he is excited he said, he just wants to be able to share it with her
Peyton: This day is already shaping up to be very interesting
Lucas looks over at the alarm clock on the bed
Lucas: We should probably get going, we need to be at the rivercourt in an hour and we all know how long it takes you to get ready
Peyton: Very funny, you know it takes you long when dealing with basketball, because you have to get the right shoes and the matching jersey and everything
Lucas: Well if it takes so long then I really should be getting ready, im off to the shower
With that Lucas leaves the bed giving Peyton a short kiss
