The next few days passed by very fast. Peyton and I were just fine. Kissing when ever we could, but we still had yet to take that final step and go all the way again. I knew that even though she was pregnant with my child and we were already in love with each other she was going to need some time before we went that far. I love her so much that I could wait though. For her I could wait forever, I just hoped she didn't make me wait that long.

Over the past few days everything had gone just perfect. People had started to leave us along at school and no one was questioning us about it so much anymore. Luckily no one had mentioned my pending fatherhood to my mom either. This made me very happy because we really want to wait to tell her until we tell Peyton's father. I knew it was going to be a shock for her and she would be angry at first and so would Peyton's father but I also know that they wont be angry for to long and I know that no matter what they will be there for us when we need them. I was also hoping that my mom could help Peyton out because I could see how scared she was already. She was worried that she wasn't going to be a good mom because her mom had died at such an early age, but I also knew that Peyton was going to be the perfect mom to our baby. She just didn't have the confidence yet. So that was my plan for tonight. Peyton was coming over for dinner and before dinner I was going to talk Peyton into telling my mom tonight and then I was going to have my mom talk to Peyton before we told Peyton's dad about the baby.

I also wanted to tell my mom first so that she wasn't angry when we told Peyton's dad because I knew that he was going to be angry and I knew that I wasn't going to be too safe. Of course Peyton would because she was pregnant and also her father would never hurt her, but me well I was a different story. I have no physical injury or anything that doesn't allow him to hit me and I was also not a blood relative either. So I wanted to be able to have a little back up.


Tonight was the night! I was going to talk Lucas into telling his mom about the baby. I know that he wanted to wait to tell her so that we could tell him with my dad, but I knew that I was having some stupid insecurities and I needed her help sorting them out. So I wanted to tell her tonight, because well I was already going over there for dinner tonight and it would be perfect if we could just tell her tonight. I knew that Karen was going to be able to help me with what I needed, so I really wanted to get over her anger so that we could move on and she could be the supportive mother that I had seen her be so many times with Lucas. I know that she is not my mom, but I could really use that right now. All I could think of every time I thought about me being a mother was just what Brooke had told me last week, which was that I had no mother my mom had died when I was eight years old and I could hardly remember her. So how was I supposed to know how to be a mom? How was I supposed to know what to say when my baby woke up with nightmares or an upset stomach? What was I suppose to do when my baby wanted something and I had not clue what she wanted? I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by these thoughts and I know that I should talk to Lucas about them because he was probably thinking the same things but I didn't know how to breach the subject and I really didn't want him to see me with such insecurities. I love him so much but I still wasn't really use to him being there I mean we had only been a couple officially like two and a half weeks. I couldn't wait to be able to tell him everything not matter what it is, but I just wasn't there yet. I really wanted to be there, but I wasn't and there was nothing I could do to help it. It would come along on its own, I was just hoping that it was soon because it wouldn't be to long and we would have this baby.

There was also the fact that we were going to have to figure out just what we were going to do when the baby came. I mean I am only sixteen and I am not ready to be married or engaged yet so that was out even though I am sure that Lucas is thinking about it. I didn't know what his mom would say to us getting our own apartment and living together, hell I didn't know what my father or Lucas would say to that. Ok actually I take that back my father would say Hell no and Lucas would say "when are we moving?" and my father would punch him. So even with the possibilities running through my head this one really stuck I wanted him to be there for everything with this baby including the crazy one or two am feedings and the being up in the middle of the night to calm the baby down or if it was just seeing the baby smile for the first time or even if it was just to calm me down when I got frustrated and couldn't get the baby to calm down. I wanted him there for everything that he could be there for. So this was just another reason to tell Karen before telling my dad because I knew she would understand why I wanted what I wanted. First was the issue of getting Lucas to go along with it first and telling him my ideas for after we told my father.


I herd her shut the door of her care, a comet, and was suddenly very nervous. I was really hoping that she would go along with me and let me tell my mom tonight. I was sure she was but I was just hoping that I wasn't wrong. I waited a few seconds and then there was a knock on the door that led outside out of my room. I stud up to go let her in and was suddenly hit with a wave of comfort. I opened the door and pulled her in for a kiss. What I wanted to be a sweet and innocent hello kiss turned into a deeply passionate lust kiss when she changed the angle and allowed my tong into her mouth. After a short time when air became necessary we broke apart.

"Well that was one hell of a way to say hello to a guy." I said pulling her into me.

"Well you know what they say, every women knows how to please her man."

"Huh well you sure has hell know how to please yours."

"I was hoping that you would say that!" she said with a sexy grin.

"Okay none of that because my mom is in the other room and I know that if we get started there is no way that we will be able to finish, so don't even tease."

"Okay fine. I need to talk to you anyways."

"Really, I need to talk to you too, but you go first." I said has we both sat down on my bed.

"Okay well I know that you wanted to wait to tell your mom about the, you know but I would really like to tell her tonight if you don't mind." She said glancing at me nervously.

"You have no idea how okay I am with that. I was actually going to see if you wouldn't mind if we did it tonight. I know your reasons are probably different from mine but you would have no idea how okay I really am with that."

"Good because I could really use her to talk to about this, but there is one more thing before we go and tell her."

"Okay what?"

"Well I don't know if you have thought about what we are going to do in the long run, but I know me and I know you and if I know you, you were thinking that we could just get married because well you know I am pregnant and I know that you are going to want to be there for everything. Am I wrong?"

"No, you are right on track. I don't want to miss a single thing and even though we are young I know that you are the one I want forever so no I wouldn't mind getting married. But I also know you and that is not what you want, which is why I haven't brought it up."

"Okay you are completely right. I don't want to get married, but I also don't want you to miss anything either. So I was thinking about it and I am willing to compromise and get engaged to you has I also know that you are it for me and I want you forever."

"Okay I am thrilled at that idea, but I also know that there is something further that you haven't said yet."

"Yes there is I am willing to get engaged to you, but I also want us to find an apartment together and move in as soon has possible."

This was the best idea ever! I would surely not pass up the chance to be engaged to Peyton or miss the opportunity to live with her. The thing was my mom we were going to have to do a lot of convincing and we would also have the same problem with her dad.

"Are you kidding? If you are this is very cruel, but if you aren't my answer is YES! YES! Yes!"

"Okay so if we can talk your mom into it we are going to become engaged and end up moving in together before this baby is born?"

"Yes!"

"Okay but just because I brought it up doesn't mean that you can get out of the whole sweet, romantic, beautiful engagement moment."

I laughed has I already knew that much. Peyton was the love of my life and she deserved the best and I was going to give it to her if it was the last thing I ever did.

"Of course I not, you deserve the best Peyton and that is exactly what I am going to give you."

"Aw you're so sweet. Are you ready to go tell your mom about the baby?

I was about to answer when another voice brought the words right out of my mouth.

"Yea Lucas are you ready to go tell your mom about your BABY!"

I turned around slowly and saw my mom standing in the door way with the most furious expression on her face. I couldn't help but swallow out of nervousness; this was going to be a rough night.
