It's been about an hour since I left Brooke at my house, I have been walking around everywhere trying to find him. I looked everywhere I could think of the rivier court, his mom's café, the school gym, Haley's, the library, the beach, and now I was on my last stop the place I didn't expect him to be at all Nathan's apartment. I walked up to the door and knocked on the door as softly has I could. When Nathan opened the door he slammed it back in my face, something I was not expecting at all. I knocked again and I herd shushed voices coming from behind the door. This lasted for what felt like 2 hours, until finally Lucas walked out of the door and motioned for me to start walking. He walked in silence for about five minutes until he finally asked the question I had been waiting on for the last hour and a half.
"So you are really pregnant?" All I could do was nod my head, I didn't trust my voice enough to speak.
"What are we going to do? We are only 16 years old."
"I know, I know that is all I have been able to think about since I went to the doctors."
"When did you go?"
"3 days ago."
"Why didn't you tell me, you know I am not like Dan? I would have been there for you. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Honestly I don't know. I don't think I could have dealt with your nerves has well has mine. I mean I have been going crazy for the past 3 days. I knew that you would have been there for me, but truth be know I felt horrible for being….being…..being ..."
"Pregnant?" he finished the sentence I didn't have the heart to finish.
"Yeah, I mean I know that things between you and Brooke were finally getting better and then I found out that I might be…. You know. So I felt horrible because I knew there was no way I could keep quit about what happened between us anymore and I knew it would ruin everything that you had worked for with her."
"Truthfully I never wanted her I settled for her because you didn't want me."
"WHAT! That is crazy; I have wanted you ever since I saw you stop in front of my car because I almost ran over you." At the last line we both giggled a little.
"Really it didn't look that way to everyone else. Truthfully it looked like you were pushing everyone but yourself away. The only reason I started to date her was because of what you said in that room at Nathan's party, if you hadn't have said that I would have been with you if you would have let me."
"That's all I wanted but I didn't know how to let you in yet. I need my walls then, and when you started to bring them down it scared me so I had to find a way to build them back up even higher. That's why I said what I did; because truthfully I wanted all the things that you did and I really wished I could have faced my fears earlier, maybe if did we wouldn't be in the mess we're in right now."
"You know you could have thought about that like a month and a half ago."
"Ha-ha, very funny. Seriously what are we going to do Lucas we are 16, not together, and I am pregnant with your child."
"Well isn't that what everyone's doing nowadays?" I could hear the thick layer of sarcasm hiding the fear in his voice, well at least trying to hide it.
"No, just kidding well I mean we have to tell our parents first and then we could deal with the whole problem of us not being together." My ears peaked at the last thing on his list of thing to do.
"Or we could just deal with the last problem first and them move on to the first."
"Now I like your idea better then mine" he said this has he wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me to him, and when he stopped walking he kissed me hard on the lips. It wasn't a kiss of urgency, lust, or of vengeance. It was a kiss full of want, need, and most of all love.
"Now see we are already working has a team. Now the only thing that we need to do in the next couple of days is find a way of telling your dad and my mom about this baby without me getting killed."
I laughed at the thought of my dad or his mom shredding him to pieces because he had gotten me "knocked up".
"think I am kidding I have seen the looks your dad gives boys when they are stairring at you, I could only imagine the violence that is going to erupt when you tell him that I got you pregnant when we weren't together, or even out of high school yet. And my mom, well she is going to be something else when she finds out. That is the only thing that she has begged me for was not to make the same mistake that her and Dan had made when they were 17, but here we are talking about how we are going to tell our parents that you are pregnant."
"I know how bad this is going to hurt you, I mean telling your mom and all, so if you want I will tell your mom and you can tell my dad." I smiled hoping he would do this one thing for me even though I knew it was a long shot.
"Or I could tell your mom and we could tell my dad."
"How about we both tell them together I could talk my mom into inviting you both over for dinner in a few days and we could tell them there together!"
"Yeah okay that sounds nice, but how about for right now we just go back to my place and hang out and be teenagers while we still can."
"Yeah I would like that." He said while kissing me again!
