Previously in April Rain:
Peyton walked solemnly through the halls of the hospital until she reached Luke's room. She walked in and noticed that he was awake and sitting in his bed reading a sports magazine.
"Hey..." he said, a bright smile on his face.
She didn't reply. She just looked at the paper, then at him.
She handed him the paper. "Here," she said.
He took it, and just stared. He seemed to stare at that paper forever.
April Rain
Chapter Eight
Always
He just stared. He didn't exactly know what to think. What was he supposed to do?
Lucas stuttered, "W-w-hat are you g-gonna d-do?"
She sat down, tears welling in her eyes. "I don't know, Luke..." she said. She looked at him, "I cannot have his baby..."
He rubbed her back. "I know you can't..." he said.
Inside, Luke wanted that baby to be his with everything he had inside of himself. He wanted it more than anything just so that Peyton wouldn't have to go through with having an... abortion.
She layed there, Luke holding her tight as she cried out a river full of tears and just wondered to herself what she was going to do.
"Peyt... just know I'll always be here... always."
"I know you will be..." she said as he softly kissed her forehead and they fell asleep.
When they woke up, Peyton had a clear mind. But she had the biggest thing to tell Lucas. Something that she knew... would terrify him.
She sat up... "Lucas..."
"Yeah?" he said.
She waited a moment. Thinking it over if she should say what she wanted to say.
"Uhh..." she paused. "I want to keep the baby."
4 YEARS LATER
Peyton walked out into the front yard with a plate full of cookies where Lucas was playing basketball with Drew.
It had been four years since that day. Four long, dreadful, yet happy years. Peyton had had the baby... it was a boy. She and Lucas named him Drew Alexander Scott and as far as they could say... he was the best thing that had ever happened to the two.
"Hey.." Peyton said as she walked up to Drew and he ran to her when he saw the plate of cookies.
"Mommy!" he shouted as he grabbed a cookie.
In the last four years, they had been through troublesome times with the police and with having Drew.
At first, Lucas was totally against the fact of Peyton having the baby of the man that had raped her... but then he started to see her side in the fact that it was her baby too, and she couldn't go through with having an abortion.
They never found the men that did all of that to Peyton and Lucas. They figured that they had left the country or something happened to them... because they seemed to just have disappeared. They both found it hard to live with the fact that the people who did this to them would never pay for the crimes they committed and the horror that they caused them.
They were both 21 now, and totally grown up from the way they were before. They both had jobs and one of them would always be home to look after Drew. On somedays when they both needed to work, Karen would look after him and watch him until they got home. They both lived together in Peyton's house since it was only Peyton and her dad living there and he was barely home anyways. They had set up a room for Drew and probably bought him every toy a kid would want. They spoiled him way too much.
Drew was four years old now and seemed to take on a lot from Peyton. He would draw all the time, and he had her blond curly hair. As time went by, Peyton seemed to think that overall.. he had so much more in common with someone else.
It was late at night, and Lucas was watching a basketball game in the living room.
"Hey.." Peyton said as she walked up and sat next to him.
"Hey.." he replied, wrapping his arm around her and pulling her in closely to give her a kiss on her head.
"Is he sleeping?" he asked.
"Yeah... sound asleep..." she replied.
He smiled as all of a sudden, Peyton decided to speak up. "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure..." he said as he looked at her, not sure to be concerned about the tone in her voice.
"Have you ever noticed anything inparticular about Drew?" she asked.
"Umm... what do you mean?" he asked.
"Well.. I mean, his basketball skills, the way he talks, his smile, his nose... his eyes?"
"Peyton, we had a paternity test done..."
"I know.. I was just wondering..." she said.
That was the only thing that Lucas seemed to have on his mind the whole night. He knew it wasn't possible since they had the tests done, but he couldn't help but wonder how much she was right.
The next day while Peyton was at work, Lucas took Drew out with him. It seemed like it was forever that they waited to get in. Finally, a woman in a white and pink nurses suit walked up to them.
"May I help you?" she asked.
"Uhh.. yeah, I'd like to have a test done.."
(A/N: Hey! Well.. did I leave you hanging again? I know that I kind of just skipped right through to the future but I've had this idea for a while. I hope you all liked it and please leave reviews! Thx a bunch! BrOoKe)
