Chapter 10
Lucas reached over and took Peyton's hands into his. Peyton was sobbing by now.
"Peyton please tell what happened." Lucas said.
Lucas's heart was breaking and he did not understand why. Why was Peyton so special to him? Lucas needed answers. Peyton's eyes met his again and this time all she knew is she has to tell him. Lucas reached up with his thumbs and wiped her tears away. Peyton was trembling.
"Lucas no one attached me these babies were made with the one love of my life." Peyton told him.
Lucas still did not understand. Peyton knew he did not understand.
"Lucas it's you, you are the twins father." Peyton said through a trembling voice.
Lucas sat there paralyzed.
"Me how could this have happened?" "We never made love Peyton; I am with Brooke I could not do that to her." Lucas told Peyton.
"Lucas you were not with Brooked your with me." "Before your accident you and I were going to get married" "That is until you were shot." Peyton told Luke.
Lucas just looked at her he can't believe what he just heard.
"Peyton we cheated on Brooke before and vowed never to do it again." "I can't be the father." "Why are you lying?' "Who did this to you?" Lucas asked demanding an answer.
Peyton could feel her whole body tremble she saw the look in Lucas's it was a mixture of fear, anger, concern, and love. Peyton then got up and ran to her room and slammed and lock the door. Lucas sat there for a minute trying to process everything he had just heard. He finally got up and ran after Peyton.
"Peyton, I am sorry I need you to open the door and let me in." Lucas said.
"Lucas just leave, there is no need for you to be here or to come back." "Everything I have said is the truth weather you believe it or not." yelled Peyton.
Peyton had a pain that brought her to her knees. The pain rushed throughout her whole body. The twins were kicking something intensely. Peyton knew she needed to calm down. Lucas had heard Peyton's cry of pain.
"Peyton, are you ok?" he asked.
"Lucas did not get an answer.
"Peyton you need to open this door so I can help you or I am going to kick it in." Lucas told her.
Peyton was sitting on her bed the pain was just subsiding. Thirty seconds later crack the door came flying open. Lucas ran over to the bed. He saw that her breathing was becoming normal again.
"What happened?" he asked.
"I'm ok just leave Lucas please." Peyton told him.
"I am not leaving." Lucas stated matter factually.
"Just let me get some rest." Peyton pleaded.
"I will be downstairs if you need anything." Lucas said as he left the bedroom.
He went back downstairs where he called Brooke and Haley and told them what had just happened. He was confused, concerned and angry. Both Brooke and Haley told him they were coming over there. They called Nathan and Julian.
Fifteen minutes later they were all at Peyton's house. They walked in and saw Lucas just sitting there staring into space. He is having trouble trying to believe everything he just heard from Peyton.
Haley went over to her best friend and pulled him into a hug.
"Luke are you ok?" asked Haley.
"No Haley I am not." "I want to know what is going on where Peyton thinks I am the father of her babies." "I have not been with Peyton like that in a very long while." Lucas said.
"Lucas where is Peyton?" Brooke asked.
"She is up in her bedroom resting I hope." Luke told her.
"Haley let's go." Brooke said.
When Haley and Brooke got into the hallway, Brooke told her she was calling Karen and telling her everything. Haley went upstairs to see Peyton. Haley stood in the doorway of the now broken door and saw her friend lying on her side she could tell she was crying.
"Knock, knock can I come in?" Haley asked.
Peyton did not respond she just hoped that she would go away.
Haley walked over to the bed and sat down and gently touched Peyton's shoulder. Peyton thought to herself.
"No such luck would she just go away."
"Everything is just a mess; he does not believe me Haley." Peyton said with a trembling voice.
Brooke came upstairs and saw Haley and Peyton on the bed.
"Hey P everything is going to be alright." "What happened here is good though it may not seem so right now." "Karen, Keith and Dr. Hanson are on their way here." Brooke told her.
"Brooke, Lucas did not believe me." "He thinks I am telling him lies." "What am I going to do?" said Peyton.
Peyton tensed at the next wave of pain that went through her body. Brooke and Haley saw her and got closer to her then they were.
"Peyton, tell me what you are feeling." Haley said.
"Pain…" then she lost consciousness.
