Lost in the Past
Chapter 8
A/N - I'm trying to get the updates out a little faster. I think you'll all like this chapter. It mostly deals with the babies but here it is!!
We last left off with Luke telling Peyton he cheated and she ran to the woods to talk to Brooke. Jake was sleeping. Nathan and Haley were on the phone.
Nathan got off the phone and told Haley he would call her back. He walked upstairs to where Lucas was sitting in front of his bed. Tears dripped very lightly while he sat there by himself. "Lucas?" Nathan said walking into his bedroom. "She's gone, and she's not coming back and it's all my fault," he spat back. Nathan looked at Luke in pain and felt himself become very angry at his brother again. "What did you do to her?" Nathan asked nastily. "Look, Nate, I really don't feel like talking about it, ok?" he said louder than before. "Oh no, we're gonna talk about this now. If you're sitting here hurting and you're the one who caused it then she's gotta be ten times worse than you. You're gonna answer me," Nathan replied logically. "Fine! You really wanna know?! I cheated on her! It's over for us! She never wants to see me again! Are you happy? I can't hurt her anymore!" he yelled stomping out of the room.
"You bastard!" Nathan yelled running down the stairs to possibly hurt his brother. He got to the foot of the stairs and Lucas was already gone.
Haley laid in bed quietly dreaming about Nathan when Chris walked in again. "What don't you understand?! I don't want you in my life! Stay out!" she screamed as she got up and pushed him out the door. "God!" she yelled to no one.
Peyton and Brooke sat in the woods for hours while Peyton talked. Brooke listened intently until Peyton stopped. "Brooke," Peyton said unsure. "Hmm?" "Are we ok again?" Brooke understood what she meant. "We're friends. Not the best of, but...better than we were," Brooke replied confidently.
"Oh my God! I left Nathan with Karen. She has no idea where I am," Peyton said jumping up. "Ok, we'll go get him and you can spend the night at my place," Brooke said informing Peyton. Peyton smiled weakly as they got in their separate cars.
They were soon at the café looking for Karen. They found little Nathan eating a bowl of ice cream and it was all over his face. Peyton laughed at the sight of her son and wiped his face. "Brooke, do you think you can take Nathan? I need to talk to Karen, but I'll come over as soon as I'm done," Peyton asked reluctantly. "No problem. I want to get to know this little guy. How bout we go get a toy?" she said to the 3 year old. He nodded his head vigorously as they walked out to the car. She strapped him in the backseat and they were going to Kay Bee toys.
Peyton sat down and looked at Karen. Karen already had a feeling it was something serious. "He...h-he cheated on me," Peyton stuttered nervously. "Honey, I had no idea," Karen replied. She was honestly shocked.
They discussed everything for about 45 minutes and then Karen had a question. "What is your heart telling you to do?" Peyton was totally caught off guard by the question. "I love him, but I really don't think I can trust hi anymore. The only thing I can think is that he didn't love me enough. Have you ever regretted a decision you've made," Peyton asked redirecting the conversation.
"I really can't answer that. I mean every decision you make has an effect that kinda alters the way things turn out. I always ask myself what would've happened if I had stayed with Dan. Luke would've been raised like Nathan. Deb and I wouldn't be friends and I wouldn't have Keith in my life the way he is. I don't think I'd ever regret what I did. Do what your heart is telling you now and I doubt you'll regret it," Karen answered. "Things will work out in the end, " she said giving Peyton a hug. Peyton then got in the car and headed to Brooke's.
She slept in a double bed with little Nate and cried herself to sleep. "Mom, what am I supposed to do?" she whispered into the darkness. This caused little Nathan to wake up. "Whatsa mattew, Mommy?" he asked sleepily. "Nothing, baby. Go back to sleep." She continued to cry until there were no tears left.
9 MONTHS LATER
Peyton had announced she was pregnant a while ago. Lucas was shocked and he continued to try and reconcile. She never went back to the house and this devastated Lucas. So here she was in the delivery room getting ready to push with Nathan holding her hand. She and Nathan weren't going out, but she wanted him there by her side. She and Luke still weren't really on speaking terms, so he was the last person she wanted to help. He sat in the waiting room helplessly waiting. "Come on Peyt, push!" Nathan shouted encouragingly. "I can't!" she yelled back. "You can do it," he said quieter. The doctor counted and with another push out came a baby girl.
Meanwhile in England, Haley had gone to the hospital too. She was also in labor. Her brothers and sisters all came to help her through labor, on account of the fact that her parents were furious that she was pregnant in the first place. Nathan still didn't know.
After hours of labor, Haley had a beautiful baby boy. "Ok, Ms. James. He's 7 pounds, 9 ounces and he was born on 12:30a.m. on July 23. We need the birth certificate filled out. She took it and filled out her own name as the mother and signed Nathan's name as the father. Then came the baby's name. William Joseph Scott. There was another infamous Scott boy in the family. He had Nathan's hair and eyes, but Haley's nose and shape of her face. She already knew that he'd have his father's ego.
Peyton was crying as she held her little girl. She decided to put her issues behind her for a little while, and let Lucas come in to see their daughter. "So what do you want to name her?" Lucas asked. "I was actually thinking Elizabeth Nicole Scott. Do you like it?" "It's beautiful," he replied staring at his baby. "She looks just like you," he said. "Thanks," she replied blushing. It never ceased to amaze Peyton that after all these years he could still make her turn as red as in high school.
"Peyton, why don't you just come home?" Lucas asked wanting his wife and kids home. "Lucas, not now, please," she demanded aggravated. "Peyton, we can get past this," he stammered. "No, not this time. I didn't want to do this here, but it's the only way," she said handing him a manilla envelope. Lucas felt his heart stop in his chest. He already knew the divorce papers were sitting in that envelope. His heart told him it was time to be a man and set her free. He signed the papers and hoped that she had it in her heart to let him have joint custody of the kids.
Lucas walked home trying to clear his head. He walked up the stairs to his bedroom. He looked at the room Peyton had decorated herself. It wasn't as gothic as he'd pictured it, it actually looked nice. He inhaled the stale air of the house he was hardly ever in and flopped back on the bed. He closed his eyes and laid there for hours.
Haley went home with Will 2 days later. She already had a little apartment off campus that she purchased with her savings. It wasn't big, but it gave her a roof over her head and the rent was fairly cheap. She wrapped Will up and laid him gently in his basinet. "This is going to be interesting," she said staring at the baby. She loved him so much, but she wanted Nathan too.
She picked up the phone to call Nathan for updates in Tree Hill. Not that anything exciting ever really happened. "Hey Nate!" she said happily when he answered the phone. "Haley! Wow, am I glad to hear from you," he said with a sigh of relief. "Sounds like something interesting may have finally happened in Tree Hill. Other than people converting oxygen into carbon dioxide that is," she said giggling at her own joke. She got a laugh from him too. "Yea, I have good news and bad news. Your choice," he replied. "Try good first," she said. "Ok. Well, Peyton had the baby on July 22 I believe. That was cool, and I was in the delivery room!" he said happily. "Wow, that's the day before...my friend had her baby," she said quickly covering up her secret.
"So, what's the other news?" she asked curiously. "Well, you already know Peyton left Luke about 9 months back. They were in the delivery room today after Peyton let Luke see Liz. They got in an argument about her coming back and she gave him the divorce papers. He signed them and now he's devastated. He's been in his bed all day. Peyton's a wreck too, but she won't let him see that. Everything's so messed up here," Nathan said sadly. Haley gasped at the divorce. "Oh...I"m gonna have to call those two. Well, separately that is. I gotta go though. Love you," she said lovingly. "Love ya too," he retorted.
Of course only to make her day worse, Chris was at the door. "And the hits just keep on comin!" Haley said in frustration.
Peyton continued living at Karen's with the kids. She got a job and was working her butt off to get a house, even though Karen said it was no problem they were there. Peyton wanted to be independent and stand on her on feet for a while though. She had dedicated her life to the kids too. They were her pride and joy. She really had become a great mom over the past 4 years.
Karen was feeling bad for her son and daughter-in-law. She knew they were on the verge of divorce, and the court date was set for some time next month. She could see they loved each other, but she knew the feeling to have no trust. Peyton just needed to do what was right, just as she had done with Dan. Peyton was like a daughter to Karen and she was going to let the kids live their lives and make their mistakes. She did have to admit that in recent years Peyton had really put the kids first and become a great mom. She was doing great for being so young. She had a big savings account and was trying to get back up on her own which Karen respected. In a way Peyton had ended up in the same situation long ago. She was on her own and Karen knew Peyton was gonna be ok. She just didn't know about her son. Next month was the official end of Lucas and Peyton.
HOPE YOU ALL LIKED IT!! I KNOW IT WASN'T THE MOST EXCITING BUT NEXT CHAPTER IS GONNA HAVE LOTS OF DRAMA. NEXT CHAPTER IS GONNA BE THE BIG PLOT SETTER. REVIEW AND I'LL TRY AS HARD AS POSSIBLE TO HAVE CHAPTER 9 UP BY AT LEAST FRIDAY BUT PROBABLY SOONER.
