So since I know last chapter was probably hard to read, I wrote the next installment. I got a few negative comments of people saying they hated it so anyways here it is. Hope ya'll enjoy.

It was Karen's going away party, they closed Tric down for the night as she was wanted close friends and family. Nathan, Haley, Lucas, Karen, Lily and Peyton. Of course Lindsay was there as well as their baby boy, Christian.

"How you holding up, Peyton?" Haley approached her as she was leaning against a wall watching Lindsay.

"As best as I can I guess." Peyton said not taking her eyes off of Lindsay.

"Hey, is it just me or that baby looks nothing like Lucas or Lindsay?" Peyton asked not seeing any resemblance.

"Glad I'm not the only one. I told Nathan but he thinks I'm just trying to start drama."

"I don't know I have this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that something's not right."

"You sure it's not cause you somehow hope that the baby is not Luke's?"

"And why would I want that?" Peyton said shrugging her off.

"Cause that's the only thing standing in your way."

"No Haley. It was me who told him to be with them; he wants me back but…"

"But what?"

"So much happened you know? I don't know it's like we always fought."

"That's not true and you know it."

"It doesn't matter. Watching them there right now, seeing Luke smiling at that baby; it feels good knowing he looks happy." Peyton explained.

"But he's not happy. He was only happy when he was with you and deep down I think you know that." Peyton took a deep breath and just kept watching Lucas cooing and playing peek-a-boo with his son Christian. Haley took her cue and went back to Nathan. Karen saw Peyton was keeping herself a lot so she tried to get her to join the fun.

"Peyton come over here" Karen said yelling as she waved her hands. Lucas looked at her, Peyton looked sad. He wondered how was it going with Scott. He wondered if she missed him as much as he missed her. Peyton moved from the position she had been standing in for the last hour and made her way towards Karen.

She embraced her.

"I'm going to miss you so much Karen" Maybe said holding her tight.

"Sweetheart, I'll miss you too but I'll be back. You'll see I'll be there the day you marry my son." Peyton pulled back and looked at her perplexed.

"You'll find your way back to each other I know it." Peyton just shook her head.

"He's happy Karen. He's got a wife and kid and he's happy."

"Oh please. My son is far from happy. If you don't see that you're blind." They both turned and looked at him, Lucas felt the intense glaring as he turned and locked eyes with Peyton. She immediately lowered her head and turned from his gaze.

"So when is your flight?" Peyton asked trying to change the subject.

"Subtle but tomorrow at 7 am."

"Oh wow that's early. Is Lucas .."

"Is Lucas what?" He asked joining them.

"I.. Uhh. Was just asking your mom if you we're taking her to the airport?" Lucas nodded his head.

"Yeah, we have to be there 3 hours early so it's either gonna be a long night or a short one." Lucas finished.

"Well you guys' should probably go soon as I'm sure your son needs his sleep." Peyton said looking at him.

"Well that is my cue. I'll let the two of you talk some."

"It's your party Karen stay."

"Oh I'm staying I just think you two need to talk." Karen said pushing her a little closer to where Lucas was standing.

"Thanks a lot." Peyton whispered to Karen as she gave her a death stare.

"I'll miss you too." She said laughing as she made her way to her grandson.

"So.." Lucas said.

"So… how are you?"

"I could be a whole lot better to be honest." He answered.

"Oh please don't do this right now." Peyton begged.

"Why not?"

"I give up." Peyton said throwing her hands up.

"What does that mean?" He asked.

"Nothing. I have to use the restroom, so if you'll excuse me." She said as she turned. Lucas grabbed her arm.

"Let go please." She begged and just that suddenly she screamed.

"Owwwww" Hunched over holding her stomach as a sharp pain took over. She fell in Lucas's arms.

"What's wrong?" Lucas asked but Peyton didn't answer. He pulled her face up and she wasn't responsive.

"Someone call an ambulance NOW." Lucas yelled as he tried to get her to open her eyes. But still nothing.

"FAST" Lucas yelled again.

It felt like hours to Lucas but an ambulance arrived within 5 minutes. Lindsay watched as the scene unfolded infront of her not understanding why Lucas was holding this woman in his arms. Nathan took her home while Lucas, Haley and Karen went to the hospital.

They we're all sitting in the waiting room. Waiting for some news.

"Is Haley James Scott here?" a doctor came into the waiting room. Haley immediately got up.

"Hi Im Dr. Baxter, are you Peyton's next of kin?" She asked.

"Yes I am. What's going on."

"Well it looks like Peyton was pregnant." Haley took a step back as shock overtook her. This was noticed by both Karen and Lucas. They both immediately jumped out of their chair.

"What is it? Is she okay?" Lucas asked panicked.

"As I was telling Mrs. Scott, Peyton was pregnant."

"PREGNANT?" Lucas and Karen both yelled out.

"Yes pregnant but she had what you call an ectopic pregnancy that's a complication of pregnancy in which the embryo implants outside the uterine cavity." The doctor explained.

"What does that mean?" Lucas asked freaked out.

"It's when the embryo attaches itself to the fallopian tube. This condition can potentially lead to death."

"What are you saying she's going to die?" Lucas asked.

"No, she is going to be alright. She was already 3 months along. Normally past the 12 week mark it is deadly and we don't know why she never had symptoms before this but she was extremely lucky."

"What about the baby?" He asked

"I'm sorry when this happens, the baby never has a chance of making it." Even though Lucas didn't know until right now that there was a baby. He felt the heartbreak. A baby. A product of the love they shared.

"Can we see her?" Karen asked.

"Yes you can but she has to remain calm so please limit the time and do not upset her." Dr. Baxter then left.

Karen, Lucas went to see Peyton while Haley called Nathan and told him what happened.

Peyton was highly sedated and was slipping in and out of consciousness.

"Hey Peyton" Karen said apparoaching her. She grab her right hand and squeezed it.

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm a bit groggy but okay I guess."

"What happened?" She asked.

Lucas couldn't stand this small talk as he blurted out

"Why didn't you tell me?" Peyton looked at Lucas who looked a mix of sadness and anger.

"Tell you what?"

"Honey do you know what happened?" Karen asked her.

"No. The doctor hasn't come in yet. Why?"

"You we're pregnant." Lucas yelled out "Tell me you didn't know because if you tell me you did and you kept it from me.."

"Pregnant?" Peyton asked stunned "What?"

"You didn't know" Lucas muttered in a surprise tone.

"Peyton, darling you had an ectopic pregnancy, that's when.." Karen started to explain

"I know what that is.." Peyton said.

"You do?" Lucas asked.

"Yeah. My step mom had one, so I know. I also know the baby never survives."

"Oh God I was pregnant." Peyton said holding her head. Lucas ran to her side and grabbed her left hand.

"Baby it's going to be okay. Everything's going to be okay."

"How?" Peyton was still trying to adjust to the news she just got.

"How in the world is it going to be okay? I didn't even know." She pulled her hands away from both Karen and Lucas as she covered her face while sobbing. Lucas took her in his arms and was rubbing her back soothingly.

"Shhh it's going to be okay."

"Peyton" Haley said entering the room. She looked up at her.

"How did this happen to me Hales." Peyton starting crying again.

"Excuse me Peyton" Dr. Baxter said as she knocked on the door.

"Are you the doctor .."

"Yes I am Peyton. Umm there's 2 things we need to talk about. Do you want them here or?"

"It's fine they can stay." Peyton said.

"Okay well there was a bit of complication during the surgery and your right ovary had to be removed."

"Removed? Is that good or bad?"

"Well you need your ovaries to be able to get pregnant."

"What are you saying? I'll never be able to have children?"

"Let her finish sweetie." Karen said.

"You can still get pregnant. People who only have ¼ of one ovary go on to have multiple children. Just by law we have to inform you of this. But don't worry, you will still be able to get pregnant it just might take you a little longer that's all."

"Okay that's good I guess. What's the second thing?"

"You'll be able to go home tomorrow but you'll have to take it easy for a few weeks so we can only discharge you if there's someone who can take care of you."

"I'll do it." Lucas said.

"You can't. You know why." Peyton said looking at him "And even if.."

"I'm going to cancel my flight." Karen jumped in

"Non sense Karen. You're leaving in the morning you have to go."

"She's right Mom." Lucas said.

" Peyton will stay with Nathan and I." Haley offered which Peyton agreed to.

"Okay, so Mrs. Scott discharge is at 10 AM tomorrow morning just make sure to be here before then." Dr. Baxter said as she left

"Dr. Baxter?" Peyton called after her.

"How far along was I?"

"12 weeks which is 3 months." She explained.

"Do you know what it was? I mean a boy or a girl?"

"Normally it's really hard to tell this early but from what I saw it was a girl."

"Thank You" Peyton said as she watched her leave.

Peyton felt back in her bed. Shaking her head. How had her life become such a mess. A senior in high school and pregnant and worse she didn't even know it.

"How did this happen?" Peyton said to herself.

"Well Peyton when two people.." Haley began saying..

"I know how I got pregnant Hales thank you very much." Peyton said cracking a smile for the first time since finding out.

"I'm in high school. How could I let this happen? Not that it matters anymore but My God I could have given birth at prom or something." Peyton said.

"Well can't be worse then Hales over here. Her water broke during her speech at graduation." Lucas said laughing at the memory.

"Seriously?" Peyton asked surprised, she hadn't been told that.

"Okay well I think we should get going. I have a flight to catch and you have to drive me." Karen said pointing at Lucas.

"Not to mention you have a wife at home waiting for you." Peyton said looking at Lucas.

"The hell with her." Lucas snapped.

"I'm not going anywhere."

"Lucas please just listen to your mom. It's not like I;'m going anywhere anyways."

"Fine"

"But wait what's gonna happen with school?" Peyton asked.

"Well my nickname was tutor girl for a reason." Haley said smirking.

"I'll have Nathan and Luke talk to the school tomorrow." Lucas nodded. Karen kissed Peyton's forehead.

"Take care of yourself Peyton and don't worry about the diner. We'll close it early if we have to."

"It's okay Karen I'll figure it out don't worry." Haley said hugging her goodbye. Lucas leaned down and kissed Peyton's lips. Right now in this moment, they didn't care what was going on between them they both had just suffered a great loss and that's all that mattered.

"Bye" He said. She waved them goodbye.

"You should go too Hales."

"Okay. I'll let Nathan know that you'll be staying with us. I'm sure Jamie will be over the moon."

"Jamie, my buddy." Peyton said smiling.

"It's okay Peyton one day you'll have another baby." Peyton smiled and watched Haley leave.

Following day, Haley came by at 10 AM and after getting all her discharge papers they headed home. Peyton had asked Nathan to tell Scott what happened knowing she wouldn't be going to school for a while. He said he would as he left for school. Nathan had talked to most of the teacher's explaining what had happened and they all agreed to give him the assignments and have Haley tutor her. Since Lucas had no classes that day after dropping off Karen at the airport he headed straight over to Haley's. He had gotten there too early so he watched Jamie as Haley went to get Peyton. Once they arrived, Lucas helped carry Peyton up to the guest room and she settled in. She was feeling a little tired so she took a nap. When she woke up, she saw Lucas sleeping in the chair in the corner of the room. She smiled at seeing him there. As he opened his eyes, he saw Peyton smiling at him.

"Hey" He said as he got up from his chair and took a seat next to her on the bed.

"Hey back" She said

"How you feeling?" He asked

"I'm feeling a little better today." And silence fell upon them.

"You should go home Luke, I'm sure Lindsay is worried sick."

"Peyton" He objected just as Scott came into view.

"Scott Hey" Peyton said smiling at him

"What are you doing here?" Scott asked looking at Lucas. Lucas was taken aback.

"As far as you know I'm Mr. Scott kid." Lucas said with too much force if you asked Peyton.

"Scott, Lucas is Nathan's boyfriend in case you didn't know, he was just checking on me." She told him as she gave Lucas a stern look.

"Right. I forgot for a second." Scott said as he approached Peyton and leaned down kissing her lips. She was hesitant which didn't go unnoticed by Scott. Peyton glanced at Lucas who saw the whole scene unfold in front of him.

"Lucas, do you mind?" Peyton asked. Lucas nodded leaving the room. He knew it came out not the way she had intended but she couldn't let Scott know about her and Lucas. Lucas left the bedroom and joined Haley in the kitchen.

"So how are you feeling?" Scott asked once they we're alone.

"No offence Scott but I'm kind of tired of people asking me that question." He nodded knowing she was probably asked that question a million times by now.

"Does your ex know?" That was the first thing he asked and she closed her eyes.

"He.. Um.. Yeah he was there last night." Is all she said.

"Good at least he had the decency to show up."

"Can we not talk about him please?" Peyton said as she sat up a little.

"Fine by me." He said leaning down and kissing her lips again.

"What's wrong?" He asked sensing something was going on.

"It's just been an emotional 2 day you know?" She said trying to brush him off.

"I know it has but I feel like something's off like if you're trying to break up with me."

"Can we not do this here, right now? I just want to focus on getting out of this bed." She said ignoring the topic.

"Peyton, I don't want to push you and I won't but I just kind of would like to know if you're trying to break up with me."

"I..I.." She began

"Say no more." Scott said as he got up and turned to leave.

"Wait don't leave."

"I'll come by maybe tomorrow or sometime this week to check on you but I get it I do." And with those words he disappeared. Lucas spotted Scott running down the stairs and out the door without even saying a word. He looked at Haley who just shrugged her shoulders. Lucas got off the stool and went back upstairs to Peyton's room.

"What happened?" Lucas asked entering the room.

"Nothing at all" Peyton said

"Did you guys break up or?"

"Luke what are you still doing here. I told you to go home."

"Just answer the question." Lucas said

"Yeah. I guess we did. I don't know."

"Well it's either yes or no." He said.

"It doesn't matter okay. Just go see your wife."

"I'm right where I wanna be." He said as he sat down next to her.

Quiet settled on them. Peyton's mind was running wild with having Lucas so close.

"I miss you" she blurted out. Lucas glanced down at her. He didn't know what made him but he leaned down and captured her lips, and she kissed him back. He knew right then and there. She still loved him, not that he thought she didn't but hearing those words would help ease his mind. Though she didn't say those 3 little words, her kiss said it all.

"I miss you too babe." He said as he pulled back.

"Luke, I .."

"Peyton don't say anything right now." He said.

"I wasn't.. I just.. I know this is the worst possible time but I can't stop thinking about it."

"Thinking about what?" He asked. Peyton sat up and turn a little towards Lucas.

"Haley and I we're talking about Christian at the party and how he doesn't resemble either of you."

"Stop right there Peyton."

"Luke I just I don't know I have a bad feeling."

"We took a DNA test Peyton. Christian is definitely mine."

"You sure? Maybe you should take another one." She suggested.

"Just stop." He begged.

"Fine. I won't ever bring it up again then." She said as she laid back down.

"I'm going to go." Lucas said standing up.

"I didn't mean to upset you." Peyton said.

"You didn't its fine. Truth is I've seen what you've seen too. I just.. I don't know."

"Okay" is all she said as she watched him leave. Peyton heard the door shut downstairs and she knew he left the house.

Lucas drove straight home knowing in his heart what to be true. He needed to know the honest truth.

"Luke, where have you been? It's almost 3PM." Lindsay asked.

"Is Christian mine?" He asked.

"What? Of course he's yours why would you ask me that."

"Lindsay. He looks nothing like me. Or like you. And you and I know both know who he looks like." Lucas accused.

"That's not true."

"Just tell me please. For once tell me the truth."

"Luke"

"Lindsay the fact that you can't even answer the question is giving me my answer."

"I'm sorry I lied."

"WOW. Do you enjoy turning my life upside down or something?"

"I'm sorry. You're my husband."

"No Lindsay. That won't work. I don't love you and you know it. And I'm sorry for Christian because I won't do this. I'm not going to raise another man's baby."

"Lucas wait"

"I'm going to stay at Haley's you have 2 days to get out of here. The divorce should be finalized by next week anyways."

"What?" She asked stunned.

"I filed for divorce over a month ago on grounds of adultery."

"You can't do that."

"Oh yes I can and I showed them the proof that I have right here in my phone." He said as he wiggled his phone in front of her.

"It's about that girl isn't it? Peyton?" Lindsay said. Lucas just looked at her.

"Goodbye Lindsay." And he slammed the door shut.
