"Karen I'm so sorry but I have to sit down" Peyton bit her parched lips as she collapsed into one of the vacant booths. She watched as Karen made her way over and patted her leg lightly, showing her warm and inviting smile.

"Don't worry about it sweetie, just do what you can" Karen gave Peyton's growing stomach a small rub before heading back to work.

It had been 5 months since Peyton found out she was pregnant and for the past 3 she had been working at the café with Karen and Haley, who decided to go to a community college for her first year in order to stay with everyone. Peyton's stomach was a little smaller then the average size but it was putting a good amount pressure on her feet. She hadn't gained weight anywhere else so she looked slightly out of proportion and Brooke made sure to tell her that everyday.

Lucas pampered her as much as he could when he was around. He had continued working at the garage with Keith, but only part time because he hated being away from Peyton. For once everything in Tree Hill seemed to be calm, the drama that all experienced in high school was gone, but they didn't mind.

"Hey friend" Peyton looked up to find Brooke grinning down at her. The brunette leaned into the table and kissed Peyton's stomach, a tradition her and Haley had formed. "And hello to you too mini friend. Aunty Brooke is gunna spoil you rotten and then send you home to mommy and daddy when you start to tear up the house." Brooke stuck her tongue out at her best friend and then took a seat across from her.

"Remind me to lock my doors when you take my child." Peyton rolled her eyes as she returned Brooke previous gesture.

"Ohh pooh!" the two girls laughed at each other. "So how are you doing, you look exhausted."

"I am. My feet and legs and back and just about every other part of my body are in excruciating pain. I don't get it, how do people that put on like 50 pounds get out of bed in the morning, I'm tiny and I still feel like I'm carrying bricks." Peyton brought her head down against the table in frustration as the brunette giggled.

"Just make sure to torture broody tonight" She winked at the blonde who gave a small laugh.

"Oh I will, believe me I will." She raised an eyebrow before she felt a hand ruffle her blonde curls.

"You already do that every night but I don't mind at all." She craned her neck to look at him and then rolled her eyes. Lucas leaned down and kissed her lips gently and then made his way down to her stomach following the same tradition as the two girls. His blue eyes became eye level to Peyton's before he kissed her again. "Do your worst" He said smugly before giving her a small smile.

"You asked for it. We have an appointment soon right?" She asked as she picked herself up and walked over to the counter to sign out for the day.

"Yup so let's go." He waved to his mom and headed for the door.

"Hey Peyton…" Karen called as she looked in the blonde's direction. "My son thinks he's so bad…I say play it up." Karen laughed, knowing Lucas didn't hear her. Peyton gave both Karen and Brooke a quick wink before turning to face Lucas back.

"Lucas" her voice sounded pathetic as he turned around. "My feet hurt to bad to walk on anymore." She whined, putting on a puppy dog face. Lucas shook his head and made his way back over to Peyton. He picked her up and she wrapped her lanky arms around his neck. "Thank you" she cooed.

"She's good" Karen and Brooke both said as Lucas carried the curly blonde out the door.

Peyton and Lucas walked into the doctor's office, letting the cold from the AC circle their bodies. Lucas signed them in as Peyton took a seat and waited for them to be called. They didn't have to wait long and they held hands as they made their way into one of the back rooms. Peyton laid on the elongated chair as Lucas sat beside her, not letting go of her hand.

They were both anxious as the doctor applied the cold cream to Peyton stomach. It had been a little over a month since their last visit and they wanted to see the ultra sound pictures.

"Are you guys ready?" the doctor asked as she turned on the ultra sound. Lucas and Peyton both nodded eagerly. The paddle was moved around her stomach and before long a picture appeared, followed by the steady heartbeat. Lucas's eyes lit up in amazement as he watched the small baby.

"If you look right over here…" the doctor circled an area on the screen. "…you can see the head. Here are the legs and arms." A wide smile appeared on both their faces as the watched the doctor point out different parts on the screen. "Would you like to know the sex?"

Peyton looked over at Lucas and they both silently agreed. "We want to be surprised." Peyton replied as she turned back to look at the baby. She was in awe of the fact that she and Lucas had created that life inside of her. Every visit the baby looked different, each feature was more defined.

"Well your baby has a strong heartbeat as you can hear which means he's healthy." The two teens merely nodded, neither wanting to pay attention to anything other then their child. The doctor smiled at the soon to be parents and printed out 4 ultra sound pictures. She handed them to the couple and then cleaned the gel from Peyton's stomach. Neither teen wanted to leave but they knew they had to. The enjoyed the pictures as they walked back the Peyton's.

"Can you believe that in 4 months we're gunna be holding him in our arms" Peyton smiled as they walked through her front door. Lucas wrapped his arms around her as they made their way t her room.

"SO you think it's gunna be a boy" he teased.

"I don't know, but I don't wanna say it or anything." Peyton walked over to her web cam and turned it on, hoping that her friends would be watching.

"I hope it's a boy. I wanna teach him how to play sport and taking him on camping trips and all that other stuff I never really got to do with my dad." His eyes dropped as well as his face as he thought about all the things he missed out on as a kid. Peyton lifted his head with he finger and kissed him gently.

"Your gunna be a great father Lucas" she whispered into his ear causing him to smile. Neither of them could wait to be parents. They both broke the stare as an IM sounded on the computer.

-Enough with the PDA's, we want pictures- It was Brooke, but Haley and Nathan were quick to follow her with the exact same comment. Lucas and Peyton laughed as she picked up two pictures and held them in front of the camera. Peyton couldn't wipe the smile off her face, she hadn't been able to since she found out she was pregnant. She couldn't place why but she knew that she was truly happy for once and she loved it.

Lucas loved seeing her smile because it made her glow. She was like her mother, she looked like an angle on earth. No one expected Peyton to take to motherhood as well as she did but they were all glad about it. When they were finished talking to their friends, Lucas and Peyton laid soundly in her bed. Lucas had made a habit of staying the night at her house and his mother didn't mind.

Lucas placed a protective arm around Peyton's stomach like he did almost every other night. The more Peyton thought about it the more she realized she wouldn't have been able to do this without him with her. She knew he loved her and nothing made her feel more secure at night.

Okay I know this chapter was kinda short and it was quick but I just wanted to post something and I couldn't think of what to write. Don't forget to review.
