Lucas arrived home exhausted for a hard first day at work and also emotionally drained for seeing Brooke again. Lucas had no idea how to break the news to Peyton that Brooke was back. Lucas walks into the apartment looking for Peyton and finds her lying down taking a nap. He decides that her day must have been really hard and lets her sleep. He is hungry so he orders some take out Indian food and watch some basketball. Peyton finally wakes up a few hours later when she smells food. She ventures out into the living room to see Lucas watching tv. "Hey babe" Lucas looks over to see Peyton walking in. "Peyt do you want some dinner I ordered Indian food?" "Sure" Peyton sits down with the takeout and watches some basketball with Lucas. Lucas decides that this might be a good time when both are relaxed to tell her about seeing Brooke today. "Peyton there is something we need to talk about." Peyton gives Lucas a weird look, "What did you do this time?" Laughing, "nothing, but the thing is I had a couple patients today, and actually my first patient was someone from our past, Brooke Davis" Peyton's face registered a look of shock. "Trust me that is how I felt." Peyton just sits there. "Luke does she want to be back in our lives?" "She never mentioned it, she doesn't even know we are together, I didn't want to bring up my personal life, unfortunately she is a regular patient so I am going to be seeing her once a week. I hope she doesn't want to be part of our life, I am afraid what is going to happen if she does just because of highschool. Haley told me not to worry that much though." Peyton sighed some relief just because she knew that Brooke didn't know anything about Lucas's private life and Peyton was hoping that it was kept that way. She didn't want Brooke to meddle in their lives again. Peyton snuggled up against Lucas and felt some comfortable in his arms. They watched the end of the basketball game and then made their way into bed.
The next morning Peyton and Haley met for coffee where they talked about the whole Brooke issue and also Haley and Nathan's relationship. Peyton confided in Haley that she was afraid that Lucas would start having feelings for Brooke again after seeing her for the first time in a few years. "Peyt don't worry about it, if you remember Lucas was the one that broke up with Brooke to be with you, not the other way around. He loves you. Brooke and him where together for a few months, the two of you have been together for 4 years and are engaged. You don't need to worry about anything at all." Peyton was glad and relieved with what Haley had said. "So Hales what is going on with you and Nathan?" "I don't know everything seems to be going along really well right now, we are getting along perfect, and actually I have a shock for you, Im pregnant, but Nate does not know yet." "Hales congrats!" That means I am going to be an aunt soon. Haley and Peyton spent the rest of the time talking about how Haley is going to tell Nathan. "The only problem I have is that I am afraid that Nathan is not going to want a kid right now, I mean we are just starting our official grown up life where we are working and not in school. He always has issues with Dan and being a father." "Hales don't worry, I mean have you and Nathan talked about having kids yet? I am sure Nathan is going to be super excited about being a father. His issue with Dan was a long time ago, he and Lucas have worked on the issues" Peyton and Haley both walked away feeling a lot better.
Lucas decided to have lunch with Nathan to have him weigh in on the whole Brooke issue. Although Peyton said that it didn't matter that much that she was there I mean I hope that Brooke will never become part of his private life, just the working aspect of it, Lucas still did not believe that Peyton was ok with the whole thing. He would rather loose his job than upset Peyton. Lucas and Nathan meet at their favorite lunch place where they would always have lunch during college. "Luke I cant believe Brooke is back" "I know I am worried about my relationship with Peyton, I mean we are at the perfect place right now, we are engaged and settled in and everything that I would die if anything happened with our relationship." "Dude, Luke Brooke wont screw it up, don't worry Brooke wont ever come between the 2 of you again, I will make sure of it." Lucas was a little relieved that Nathan had his back and would support him through everything. "So Luke have you noticed anything different with Haley?" Lucas gave him a weird look. "I had lunch with her yesterday and she seemed perfectly fine, why?" "I don't know it feels like she has been acting weird lately, maybe just towards me, like last night I just wanted to watch a movie and snuggle but instead all she wanted to do was just sleep and go to bed." "What do you think is wrong with her?" Lucas thought for a little while, "the only thing I can think of, if she is tired a lot is that maybe she is pregnant, if she was what would you do?" "I actually would be very excited, I really feel like I could be a good father and do well, so I would not be worried or scared at all. I am afraid though that she might think differently just because when we first got married we discussed not having kids for a long time because we were young and also all my issues with Dan, but I have worked those out now."
