It was a quiet Tree Hill morning. Nathan rolled over to see Haley sleeping peacefully next to him. He pushed the hair out of her eyes, she moved slightly but quickly got comfortable again. Things had been going good for them for a month now. Haley was finally OK with having Jaiden over which was pretty often now that Liz was dating Noah. Nathan got out of bed and pulled on a pair of fresh boxers and a plain T-shirt. He walked down the hall and peeked into the quest room which he redid to make it Jaiden's bedroom. He saw his daughter sleeping, he smiled to himself and continued to the kitchen where he began to make breakfast.
Liz woke to up see Noah gone from her bed. Things were going well for them. He called the day after there first date like he said he would and they have been dating ever since. Liz reached out for the note that he left her. She smiled when she read it. She rolled out of bed and pulled on her bath robe. While walking down the stairs something clicked in her head. She remembered that she was going to go talk to Lucas today. She turned around and got dressed.
Jake was in the kitchen making breakfast. Jenny was at the table coloring a picture. Jake heard Peyton throwing up in the bathroom.
"Stay here Jenny, I need to go check on Peyton."
"Ok Daddy." Jenny said returning to her drawing.
Jake ran up the stairs two at a time and burst into Peyton's bathroom. He held her hair back as she finished. She sat back against him breathing heavy. Jake reached up and grabbed the wash cloth that was sitting on the sink and wiped her face.
"I don't know what wrong with me. I have been like this for the past couple of days."
"Maybe it's just the flu." He suggested
"Maybe." Peyton answered thinking that it was something else.
Liz walked up to Lucas' door and knocked.
"Hey Liz, Brooke isn't here right now. She went out with Haley for the day."
"Well it's a good thing that I am not looking for Brooke, isn't it." Liz said walking into the house.
"What do I owe the pleasure then." Lucas said taking a seat on the couch.
"You know that I got that letter from Andy about a month back right?" Lucas nodded so Liz continued
"I told your mom that it was a good thing that she stayed in touch with him. She told me that she hasn't talked to Andy since the day they broke up. So that made me wonder, how did he know I was back in town."
Liz stopped for a moment and looked at Lucas who had a nervous look on his face.
"You told him didn't you?" She asked.
"I kept in touch with him after he left. He wanted to know how things went with Dan. We just continued to write back and forth through out the years." Lucas explained.
Liz smiled and got up to hug him.
"Thank you." She said
"For what?"
"Well if it wasn't for you then Andy would not have known about Jaiden and I wouldn't have gotten that check and now I have money to put in Jaiden's college account."
"Well consider me your angel then." Lucas said
Liz laughed at him
"I will if you tell your mother he is coming up for a visit."
"He's visiting? When?"
"The weekend of your wedding."
"That's great!" Lucas exclaimed.
The two went into the kitchens where they talked about the wedding and other things that have been going on.
Peyton walked into the drugstore trying to be unnoticed. She went to the aisle that had all the pregnancy tests. She looked at the options she had.
"My God how many do they have here." She said to herself. She finally decided on three that looked the best, check out and went home. Once at home Peyton checked the house to see if Jake was gone yet. He talked about taking Jenny out for the day but she wasn't sure if he had actually gone. Once she knew Jake was gone she ran up to her bathroom. After about five minutes she heard her timer go off. She walked slowly to the sink where she laid out the tests. All three said the same things. Peyton picked up her cell phone and called a number that she had known most of her life.
"Brooke."
"Hey Peyton, you wouldn't believe how many garters they have now a days. I am having trouble picking one out. I was thinking red to be a little different but the whites ones are pretty too." Brooke rambled.
"Brooke I need you to listen to me."
"What is it?" Brooke said concerned.
"I'm…" Peyton paused and looked down at her three tests again.
"Peyton talk to me. What's the matter?"
"I'm pregnant."
A/N: I know this chapter was short. I wasn't really sure where to go with it. I think the chapter after next will be the Brucas wedding and the return of Andy. The next chapter I think I will have Peyton tell Jake. I am not really sure. Review to me with your suggestions. I also need your vote. Yes or No to Liz getting pregnant with Noah's baby. REVIEW!
