Peyton stood with her back against a tree, overlooking the calm lake. The sharp bark cut into her back as she gazed around the park, her eyes avoiding the figure staring down at her. She broke away from her various thoughts as she forced herself to steady her gaze and look into the crystal blue eyes before her, the small folder still in her thin fingers. The warm moisture was building up behind her eyes, but she was determined to hide her emotion. She knew what she had to do and she knew it was for the best, but just incase she changed her mind she knew she wouldn't be able to tell him so she brought the paper's from the doctor's office.

Flashback

"Alright Peyton, well we ran some tests on the blood and the urine sample we took from you and we have your results." She opened the manila folder and looked down at the white papers with neatly printed black ink across the page. The woman rummaged through her desk and pulled out a small stamp. Peyton could hear the harsh slam of the stamp colliding with the white papers, leaving behind the sticky red 'COPY' sign that still smelled fresh.

"Peyton what's on your mind? You're kinda scaring me." Lucas laughed lightly as he tried to lighten the mood Peyton was causing. The blonde looked up at him and gave a small smile.

"Nothing, but we need to talk." She turned and looked across the lake again, uncertainty still running through her veins.

"Why do I not like the sound of that?" Lucas voice was almost trembling as worry overtook him. He walked over to the tree and leaned next to Peyton's body. He searched her eyes for a hint of anything to come but there was nothing.

"Lucas…I…" He knew the sound in her voice and he knew what was coming.

"Peyton please don't do this. Talk to me, maybe we can work things out. Whatever's bothering you just let me know, but please don't shut me out again." Lucas knew he was babbling but he didn't care. He just didn't want things to end between them just as they were getting good.

His voice was caring and worried. It rang through her ears like the warm, gentle breeze circling her. She wanted to tell him but she didn't know where it would get her.

"Brooke I don't know what to do." The tears streamed from the blondes eyes as she sat on her bed staring at her best friend, searching for answers.

"Peyton I don't know what to tell you other then to talk to Lucas. He needs to know, you can't just keep him out of this. Peyt, hun he deserves to know." Brooke grabbed Peyton's hand and smiled the best she could.

"But what if he decides this is too much. What if he doesn't wanna deal with any of this? I mean it's not just something small Brooke, this changes everything." She closed her eyes and felt her stomach knot at thought of losing Lucas.

"Peyton I know he would never leave because of this. That's not what Lucas is like and you know that. Besides, he loves you." Brooke raised her brow hoping that Peyton remembered how much Lucas cared about her.

As the conversation played in the blonde's head a small smile played on her lips. She knew she had to tell Lucas and although part of her was petrified that he would abandon her much like everyone else, another part of her didn't want to leave him. She wanted him in her life as long as possible and she knew she had no choice other than to tell him.

"Peyton are you still with me" Lucas waved his hand in front of Peyton's face, pulling her back to her harsh reality and removing her smile.

"Yeah" She looked down into the freshly cut grass, the smell still lingering around the park. She gripped the thin folder tighter as the thought of Lucas's reaction played in her head. She suddenly didn't want to tell him anymore, she felt too nervous.

"What you got there?" Lucas pointed to the folder in her hand. She wasn't sure how to respond to the question. She knew that if she lied he would know, she didn't have time to come up with something believable that he wouldn't want to see. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, a small tear slipped from beneath her closed lids. Lucas wiped the drop from under her eye and cupped her face paling face in his calloused hands. He leaned down and kissed her tenderly, pushing away all her fears, but as soon as he pulled back everything came rushing back to her. She had to tell him, she couldn't keep it inside anymore.

"Lucas I went to the doctor's yesterday because of how I've been feeling lately. When I went in to get my results from the doctor she told me something that changed a lot. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do but Brooke said that I should tell you and that I should trust you." She stood on her toes and kissed him gently. When she stepped away she handed him the manila folder, and as soon as he took it she walked over tot eh edge of the lake.

The clear blue wanted seemed to settle her nerves. She couldn't look back as she heard the folder open and the shuffling of papers. She lets her tears of fear slide down her face because she didn't know what else to do. She wanted to walk away form everything but her legs wouldn't carry her, they stayed stuck in their position waiting for Lucas's response.

"Peyton" She heard his mellow voice behind her as she felt his arms slide around her waist, comforting her. "How did you think I was gunna take this?" Lucas placed his chin on her slender shoulder.

"I don't know. I was scared Luke, I didn't know what to expect, I still don't." She bowed her head, feeling ashamed for a reason unknown to her.

"Peyton I love you and I would never leave you because of this. We'll get through this and I'm gunna be there the entire time. I swear that to you." Lucas loosed his grip around her waist and he moved to stand in front of her. He leaned down and kissed her like he had before. She enjoyed the warmth of his lips pressed against hers. Like always he had away of making all the pain and fear go away.

The couple pulled away from each other. Lucas rested his forehead against hers as he smiled, getting lost in her hazel eyes. This wasn't what he expected, in fact it was one of the last things he wanted, but he was determined to make the best of the situation. He knew Peyton was worried enough for the both of them and he wanted to be strong for her. He wanted to be her rock no matter what it took.

"Peyton I'm gunna be here for you through it all. I care about you, all of you." He placed his hand on her stomach and smiled. "You're not alone."

"You promise?" Peyton wasn't used to having someone there for her all the time, but she liked the thought of it. It was something knew but something she wanted.

"I promise. I love you Peyton Sawyer." Lucas smiled as her kissed her lips lightly before he dropped to his knees. He lifted her shirt and planted a tiny kiss on her bare stomach. "And I love you too." He leaned his head against her stomach causing her to laugh at the goofy look he had on his face. Neither of them expected to fell happy about this but they did. Peyton's worry faded away as she saw how well Lucas seemed to take everything. Lucas knew that he had a huge responsibility ahead of him but he had concluded that there was no one he would rather go through this with then the curly blonde standing in front of him. He couldn't stop the happiness flowing though his veins.

Lucas got to his feet and grabbed Peyton's waist. He hoisted her into the air and spun her around, both of them laughing. Peyton let the warm breeze blow through her hair as the sun beat down on her golden curls. For the first time in years Peyton felt whole again.

"Peyton you have nothing to worry about." The doctor handed Peyton a small blue book before she continued talking. "That should explain some of the things you've been experiencing. It's really all common for your first pregnancy."
