Waking up in Peyton's arms knowing that in a few hours we'd have to go to school and i'd have to face Haley and tell her everything - I knew it would be worth it because she's worth it. Our future is worth it. And sure, I could probably be happy with Haley, but it wouldn't be true love, real love. That's what I have with Peyton. And now that I have her back - I wasn't letting go. Noone could stand in my way.

Making love to her last night, was amazing. It reminded me of our first time together - Before I started to fuck up and used sex to forget about a bad grade, a bad pratice, or Dan. That's when we started to really fall apart.

This time - I wasn't going to let us fall apart. And I was going to go talk to Whitey about quitting the team. Focusing on just Peyt and the baby to be and spending time with her before it was born.

I'm prepared to be the best father ever. Better than mine ever was. I could imagine our child with blonde hair, and my blue eyes. I could imagine coming home to them both and my face breaking into a wide smile.

Peyton never thought I paid any attention to her and I knew that was a big problem, but I listened, I paid attention. To her art, to her music, even if it wasn't my taste. To her likes, her dislikes. I always remembered her mom's birthday and the anniversary of her death so I would always take her out to eat on those days. On the birthday I'd even get a cupcake to celebrate her mom's life. Peyt always smiled when I did that.

Lost in my thoughts I didn't hear her wake up until she let out a sigh and when I looked down at the curls on my chest and her smiling face looking at me I smiled down at her.

"Morning sleepy head"

"Morning Scott"

She lifted her head and I got the point and gave her a kiss. Before we even got into it, she went flying off the bed - still naked from the night before - and I heard her retching in the bathroom. I grabbed my boxers and put them on and grab her robe and went in the bathroom, kneeling behind her, putting the robe around her shoulders and holding her curls back. When she was finished I grabbed a glass of water.

"You ok babe?"

"Just morning sickness. It sucks."

"Sorry."

"Shower?"

I got up and started it for her, getting the temp right as she stood up and made her way over to me. She pulled my boxers off me and I took the robe off her shoulders. I leaned down and kissed her stomach.

"Good morning you."

"You're going to be such a good daddy Nathan Scott"

Hearing those words from her, I couldn't be happier.

She grabbed my hand and brought me in the shower with her. Grabbing the soap she started washing me. Slow and gentle. I took my time admiring her body and her new curves before she turned me over to wash my backside. Afterwards, I did the same to her and then we shampooed each other's hair and even though I smelled very fruity I could care less. I kissed her and then we got out of the shower, drying each other off.

I realized I didn't have enough time to go to my house for clothes when she let me know I had some still left there from before the break up.

Throwing on jeans and polo and my airforce ones I waited for Peyt to get ready. As she was I thought about what I was going to say to Haley. I knew I would have to tell her the truth about the baby and everything.

At that moment the door opened and Peyt walked out and my jaw almost dropped. She was wearing a longer light purple halter top with semi tight jeans that made her ass look amazing. She literally took my breath away at that moment.

"What, what's wrong? Do I look okay, do I look fat?"

I did notice her baby bump, but it was barely noticeable unless you knew what you were looking for.

I suddenly forgot how to speak no matter how many times I tried. Finally I was able to get out what I wanted to say..Well kinda.

"Damn, you look hot!"

And she laughed.

"Well thanks."

I motioned for her to come over and stand before me and I put my hands on her hips and my head on her stomach.

"I missed you so much Peyt. I never intended or wanted to be with Haley but when you said it was over and when Lucas was paying so much attention to you - I thought maybe you did deserve better than me. I hoped that we would find our way back together and we have and I don't want to lose you. The last week I saw you in sweats and not looking so good, now I know it was your morning sickness, but I just kept watching you and when you collapsed, I was so afraid. I ran right over and picked you up. There's going to be a lot of talk today, centered on us, because uh..I got emotional and I sort of teared up while holding you. But we are going to be a united front. I'm going to tell Haley the truth first thing, and then we'll face everyone else together? And if Lucas comes near you i'll kill him."

By this time we both had tears in our eyes since I hardly ever get emotional. So she knew I meant everything I was saying, and even with the hormones raging, and her crying she also had a smile on her face - one that I put there, and her eyes shined with happiness.
