So, big shocker in the last chapter! Please read and review! Find out how Peyton and Jake will react in 3...2...1...
"I'm what?!" Peyton asked sitting up, looking at the screen. "Pregnant. I'm guessing at least two weeks." Peyton looked at Jake who had a scared and disappointed look on his face. "But...but we haven't..." But then she remembered that night she apologized to him in Savannah. She looked at Jake and he looked at her. What in the hell were they going to do now?
Jake and Peyton drove home in total silence, except for the odd somewhat silent cry of the blonde sitting next to him. He'd been through all of this before, but that didn't make it less terrifying.
When they got home Peyton collapsed in his arms. Jenny safely tucked away in her bed. Peyton lied on top of Jake on the couch, crying her heart out. What was her dad going to say? What were Jake's parents going to say? Jake already had a child when he was under 20, now he was going to have two?
Jake was shaking. He knew being with Peyton wasn't a mistake, but maybe this was a sign. That they were going to be together forever.
"Jake..." Peyton chocked out. "What are we gonna do?" Jake kissed the top of her head. "I don't know baby, I don't know." Peyton cried onto his chest harder. Soon, the front door opened.
Jake and Peyton pulled apart instantly and Peyton wiped the tears from her face. They stood up as Peyton's father entered the room. "Hey, honey I'm back!" Larry Sawyer said as Peyton charged into his arms. "Daddy!" She said hugging him tightly. "Hey baby." He said kissing the top of her head. "And who is this?" Her father asked walking towards Jake.
"Daddy, this is Jake...my fiancé." Larry Sawyer nodded. He knew about the engagement. Jake shook his hand and Larry smiled. "Larry Sawyer." He said tightly gripping Jake's hand. "Jake Jagielski." Jake said back.
Larry Sawyer was never the violent type; he was just really protective of his daughter. She was all he had. Larry let go of Jake's hand and looked at Peyton. "How long you gonna be back for?" She asked, hoping he wouldn't say long. She didn't want to have to break the news to her father right then and there.
"About a week." Peyton nodded. "Alrightie, so considering I'm back for a week, we need some ground rules." Peyton and Jake nodded. "Okay..." Peyton said. She changed sides so she was on Jake's side, Jake putting his arm around her back.
"Okay, so, always call me to tell me both were you are, no making out...at least not in front of me. And no sex. Understood?"
Peyton stifled a giggle. "Jake and I never have sex. Right honey?" Peyton asked seriously, with a teeny smile on her face. "Oh yeah, never." Jake looked at Larry seriously.
"Okay. Good. Understood?" Peyton nodded. "Understood." Larry nodded. Okay." He said. "Daddy..." A little voice was heard at the door. "Oh, daddy..." Peyton started. "This is Jenny, Jake and my daughter." Larry raised an eyebrow. "You mean I missed all that?" He asked, Peyton laughed.
"No. Jenny is Jake's daughter biologically, but she's my daughter no matter what." Larry nodded. "Alright princess, let's go back to bed." Peyton said picking up the tired little girl. "Mama...daddy! Daddy!" Jenny repeated as Jake and Peyton walked into her room. Well, technically Peyton's room. Larry shook his head. This was interesting.
Peyton shut the door behind him as Jake placed Jenny in her crib again. Peyton paced around the room. "Jake...I can't tell him now! He just got back!" Peyton said rubbing her temples. Jake placed Jenny in her crib and walked over to her. "Baby you have to." Peyton shook her head. "No, no I can't. You do it." Jake shook his head. "Peyton..."
"Oh my god Jake what are we gonna do?!" Peyton asked again crying in his arms. Jake held her tightly. He knew that her thoughts were pure horror. He was trying to think the best of it. "Maybe we should get married right away." Jake asked. Peyton looked up at him. "Like how soon?" She asked sniffling.
"The weekend?" He asked. She nodded. She was in no mood to argue. They just held each other for a little while. But Peyton was so confused. Did she have cancer or not? What were Jake and her going to do? How was she gonna tell her dad? Arrggg...
Jake and Peyton walked hand-in-hand downstairs were they found her father sitting at the kitchen table. They sat down and Larry looked at them. "What's up?" He asked looking up from his bowl of cereal. "Daddy, I have something to tell you."
"Are you expelled?" Larry asked. Peyton shook her head and smiled. "No." She answered. "DUI? Jail time?" Peyton shook her head again. "No, daddy. It's bigger then that." Larry smiled. "What, are you pregnant?"
It may have been a joke, but it caused Peyton's heart to beat wickedly fast. She stayed silent for several moments, hoping that he would take a hint. "Are you..." He started after a little while.
He pointed at Jake. "This guy got you pregnant?!" He asked standing up.
"Daddy...Please don't be mad at Jake. It was my fault!" Peyton said getting up and stepping in front of her father.
"I can't believe this is happening!" Peyton shook her head. "Neither can I, trust me." Larry shook his head again. "This is what I come home to? After four weeks of work I come home to a pregnant and engaged daughter? Did I teach you absolutely nothing?!" Larry yelled at his daughter. Peyton started to cry and that's when Jake stepped in.
"Mr. Sawyer, it was a mistake. My daughter Jenny was a mistake, but me getting married to Peyton is a choice. We are in love. And just because this is happening does not give you the reason to yell at her. I understand you're upset. But please, just hear us out."
Larry sighed. "I'm sorry, Peyton." Peyton shook her head. "I'm sorry baby." Peyton walked closer to Jake and kissed his cheek. "Thank you." She whispered in his ear. She walked over to her father and hugged him.
When they parted Larry looked at Peyton. "What are you gonna do?" He asked. Peyton smiled. "I'm gonna keep it."
