Prefect Match
Chapter 16
The sound of the little voice made the couple jumped back from each other. Both sets of eyes widen, shocked that they were caught. They looked down at their daughters who both were standing side by side, with their big eyes looking at their parent. Mouths open wide, confusion written on their little faces.
Lucas sighed, as he looked at his daughter, than Peyton's daughter, then Peyton. He was nerves to the core. This wasn't how he wanted them to find out, this could ruin any chance that they had at an actually relationship, especially with Peyton's rule "If either one of the girls aren't happy that were together, we end it." He wasn't ready to end it, not yet, not ever. Hell, he finally told her the three words he's been holding in, and she said them back. They were finally on the same page, but he was afraid they won't be for long. Especially, since what Katie told him last night.
Peyton mouth fell open, and her eyes widen dramatically as she placed a hand on her chest. she looked at her daughter, then Lucas's daughter, then a quick glance at Lucas. Before she looked back at her daughter, who was staring at her with her eye brow raised, a frown on her face, in her eyes looked confused, sad, or maybe not sad, she noticed that look it was her look of hope, the look she gives her when she is begging for something. But Peyton wasn't sure exactly what that look meant. This wasn't how she expected to tell her, she had tonight's dinner all planned out in her head. Maybe, not the exact words, but she had a little idea,of what she wanted to say.
" mama," Kelly said, causing Peyton to come out of her thoughts. " why was you kissing Lucas?" she asked innocently
"um..." Peyton sighed, still unable to speak. She couldn't believe how afraid she was to talk to her own daughter, what if she isn't happy about them dating or she doesn't like Luke, would she really have to end the best thing that's ever happen to her in years, hell best thing that has ever happen to her ever, expect having Kelly..
Brooke watched Peyton for a moment, then Lucas, then the girls. She didn't know Lucas or his daughter that well, so she couldn't really readied them, Kelly looked excited but confused, coarse Brooke knows that Kelly wants Lucas, and her mom together, and vice versa for Katie. She remember the fair in how the girls kept pushing Peyton and Lucas together or doing anything in their power to keep her away from Lucas. She also remembers how Peyton and Lucas were joined at the hip that day to.
She looked back at Peyton who was looking at Lucas now, it was like they were having a conversation with their eyes. Then it hit her, she'd known Peyton since they were six, she has witness a happy Peyton, a sad Peyton, a broken Peyton, even a devastated Peyton. But she never seen this Peyton, the Peyton who moments ago was smiling and saying I love you, an extremely happy in love Peyton. Not that Peyton didn't love Marshall, she knew the blond did. But Lucas knocked those walls down, Lucas was teaching her how to trust again, how to love, how to let go... She'll admits at first she thought the whole thing was an acted, but there was no denying that what she was seeing was more than attraction, lust, or pretending, theses two weren't pretending anything. Their in love, yes Lucas said he was, Peyton didn't, which makes sense to Brooke, she's afraid of Kelly's reaction, and she won't let Lucas all the way in till Kelly approves. That little girl means the world to Peyton, and her happiness means more than Peyton's own Happiness. Which Brooke could understand, being a mother herself. She bit her lip, as she watched as Peyton tried to find the words to explain what they girls saw. She watched as Lucas nodded to Peyton, giving her some kind of sign..
And in that moment Brooke knew what she has to do. " I should get going." she announced causing everyone in the room to look at her. " our plane leaves an hour, so..,"
" your leaving aunt Brooke?" Kelly asks sadly.
" yeah, sweetheart, I got to get back to LA." she said, as she walked over to the sad little girl.
"I thought you were moving here?"
Brooke smiled, " I've decided that moving isn't a good idea right now. I belong in LA,"
" oh" Kelly said, as she looked down at the floor.
" hey, " Brooke said as she picked her up. " I will call you every week. and I will send you all kinds of new pretty dress' that I'm going to make especially for you"
"Really?" she asked with a voice full of excitement
" You bet, your my favorite six-year-old in the entire world."
" cool, I love your dresses. Your my favorite aunt Brooke in the entire world."
Brooke hugged her tightly, " I love you." she was holding back tears, knowing that this was really goodbye.. But she was doing the right thing, Peyton is happy here. And walking away is the right thing to do, if she ever wants a chance for Peyton to forgive her one day.
Peyton watched as Brooke and Kelly hugged. Her eyes glazed over, knowing that this will probably be the last time they see each other for a while at least. She was shocked when Lucas grabbed her hand, she looked up at him, he smiled, letting her know that everything was going to be okay. She could believe how well he could read her sometimes.
" I love you to aunt Brooke." Kelly whispered as she kisses her cheek.
" be good for your mom, remember you need anything you got the number," Brooke kissed her forehead. " Lucas is good for your mom." she whispered in her ear.
Kelly just smiled, " I know."
Brooke put her down" it was really nice meeting you all." she looked at Nathan and Haley, then Lucas, " Peyton's got a pretty good...," she looked at Peyton. " family here." she looked at Lucas. " take care of her, "
" I will." Lucas promised.
She then walked over in grabbed Jeff from Rachel. " let's go home baby boy." she walks to the door, she turns one last time to look at her ex friend, " be happy Peyton, " she said as a few tears fell. " you deserve to be happy, so let yourself be happy." Peyton walks over to her in hugs her and Jeff, but doesn't say anything, Brooke knows it more of a goodbye, safe trip hug then a forgive you hug. They break apart giving each other a small sad smile, Brooke opens the door, in steps out, she then turns back to Peyton. "I know you mostly likely won't, but if you ever need anything please don't hesitate to call me. I still want to be in some part of yours, and Kelly's life. And again Peyton I'm really sorry." she didn't wait for a responses she just left.
Peyton stood there, process everything, tears running down her face. Kelly walks over to her in hugs her. " it's going to be okay mama, I promise."
Peyton smiles, down at her brushing her hair away from her face. She knows her little girl is still confused on what happen between her and Brooke, and one day, unfortunately, she's going to have to tell her. But tell isn't that day. " I know it will," Peyton told her as she lifted her up." as long as I have you in my life. everything will be okay."
" you always have me mama" Kelly said, as she kissed her cheek. " Even when I get bigger and marry Justin Bieber." she says. Making everyone in the room laugh.
Rachel smiled, " sorry to interrupt but I think it's time I head back to LA to." Rachel said as she walked over to Peyton.
" Rachel you can stay, as long as you like" Peyton told her.
" I know and I thank you for it. " she sighed " I think I should go back with Brooke, you got it pretty good here Peyton. your surrounded by people who love you, people who will take care of you, look after you." she smiled at Lucas. " Brooke doesn't have anyone, but little Jeff, and I think she's going to need a shoulder to cry on. At least for a little while."
" you just got here aunt Rachel." Kelly cut in.
" I know pumpkin, I'll be back, I promise.." she kissed her forehead.
" you promise?"
" Kelly Nicole Sawyer, have I ever broke a promise to you?"
" no." she smile
" and I don't intent to either. I'll be back for Christmas "
" cool, I can't wait."
" I'll call you peyt," she said as she give her a side way hug.
" be good pumpkin " she hugged her than whispered in her ear." Lucas is really good for your mama." Kelly smiled, in nodded.
" bye everyone." she said, as she walked out the door. Peyton shook her head, as more tears came down. " mama you gots to quit cryin everything is going to be okay." Kelly reassured her.
" what would I do without you?" Peyton asked her very smart daughter.
" I don't know." Kelly said with a shrug. " did you like Lucas?" she asked a few seconds later out of the blue.
Peyton's eyes widen, " what?"
" did you like Lucas?" the curious six-year-old asked again.
Peyton looked at Lucas, in smiled, then back at Kelly " Yes, I do sweetheart."
" like really like him," She asked in a happy tone.
" yes."
" really really really like him." Her eyes widen.
" Kelly where is this coming from?" Peyton asked curiously
" aunt Brooke said that Lucas was really good for you, and so did aunt Rachel. So I just wondered if you like Lucas? That's all." She answered with a shrug.
" and aunt Haley said you guys do like each other but your just scared to admit it." Katie chipped in.
" she did, did she" Peyton said as she looked over at the chair where Haley was sitting on Nathan's lap. Haley just smiled, Nathan shook his head, knowing his wife was involved somehow.
" sounds like Haley." Luke said. as he looked at them to.
" but we don't believe her because you like someone else." Katie said as she walked over towards the couch in sat down with a frown on her face.
" princess what are you talking about ?" Lucas asked as he walked over in sat down beside his daughter.
Peyton who was still holding Kelly, walked over in sat beside Lucas. " who do I like?" she asked the sad little girl.
" I don't know,but that's what you said." she replied looking down at the floor.
" when did I say that?"
" at the fair, you said you had your eye on someone else."
" oh.. Sweetheart, I was actually talking about your daddy."
" you were?" both girls said at the same time. Katie's head snapped up..
" yes, I was, I like your daddy " she said as she looked at Lucas and intertwined their hands. " and when I said that I was talking about him, he was the someone I had my eye on, I swear,"
"So why didn't you just say, you had your eye on Lucas?" Kelly asked her mom
" Well..." she bit her lip as she thought about a way to explain it to her. " I just wasn't ready for anyone to know yet, and I was worried you didn't like Lucas, and honey you matter more to me than anything and the world, so I...
"But I do like Lucas, a lot" she said, as she smiled at Lucas
" You do?" Peyton asked, Kelly nodded.
" so you like my daddy?" Katie asked excitedly, interrupted the chat between mother and daughter
Peyton turn to face Katie," yes, I do," she said with a huge smile, Katie and Lucas smile to. Then it dawn on her. she turns her attention back to the little girl in her lap. " wait was that why you were mad at me last night?" she asked Kelly
Kelly frown, " yes, I sorry, I didn't say I love you back last night I was just hurt cause we really wanted you and Lucas together."
"You do?" both adults asked surprise, this wasn't what either one thought was going to happen.
" yeah, and I sorry I said I didn't like Peyton last night daddy cause that's a lie, I really like her." Katie said as she smiled at Peyton.
" you guys will be okay with us seeing each other?" Lucas asked still a little shocked on how easy this conversation was going.
" duh!" Katie said, "we want to be sisters and aunt Haley said that we couldn't be sisters unless you guys were married. So we wanted you to get married but aunt Haley said you had to be in love to get married. so we and aunt Haley decided to push you guys to fall in love. That's what we been doing."
The couple shared a look, then looked at Haley who had her face buried in Nathans shirt. " Can we know the plan?" Peyton asked the girls.
" like asking you to teach me cheerleading, I really didn't want to be a cheerleader Peyton. I just said that so I could spend time with you and tell you all kinds of good things about my daddy." Peyton and Lucas shared a look
" and I didn't want to learn basketball Lucas, I'm sorry, I just wanted to spend time with you to, so I could tell you stories about mama."
"and at the fair when I yelled at Brooke, daddy in you got mad, I did it because I thought Brooke liked you, and I didn't want you with Brooke. I wanted you and Peyton together, that's why we kept wanting to go on the same rides in stuff cause we wanted to pretend th...," she drifted off..
" pretend what?"
" that the four of us was a family." Kelly finished for her. " when we got on the third ride the lady said we had a cute family, and we liked that people saw us that way."
" wow!" was all Peyton could say.
" a family?" Lucas repeated. as he looked back and forth between them.
The room was silent for a moment, as Peyton and Lucas both processed what the girls just told them, " so your my mammas boyfriend?" Kelly asked, breaking the silents she stares at Lucas with her big green eyes like her moms.
Lucas smiled, " yes, yes I am." he squeezed Peyton's hand.
" and your daddy's girlfriend?" Katie asks as she stood up.
" yes"
" so that's why you were kissing Lucas." Kelly said with a huge smile. " cause boyfriends and girlfriends kiss all the time and make out a lot to."
" Kelly!" Peyton yelled, " how do you even know anything about making out,"
" oops." she looks down at the floor.
" I'm waiting young lady?"
" Aunt Brooke lets me watch Jersey Shore and Gossip Girl, and teen mom and some other show but I can't remember the name."
" those are not shows suitable for a six-year-old. " Peyton told her. "when we get home tonight, you and I will have a little talk and mammas going to block some channels to."
"Yes mama" she said, as she looks down at the floor, the room went silent again. Katie's the one to break it this time.
"So does this mean you guys are getting married. " she asked in a hopefully voice. As she looks at them both, Kelly looks at them to. " Cause it will be so cool, we can have pink roses and..
" And mama's dress can be green" Kelly said cutting Katie off. " We can wear green dresses to, cause we want to be in the weeding. "
" Yeah that would be awesome" Katie said, as she in Kelly start to plan their parent wedding. Peyton turn pale as a ghost, but Lucas looked calm. " OMG!" Katie yelled, casus everyone to look at her, " I got and awesome idea,"
"What?" Kelly asked
" We can get Justin Bieber to sing at their wedding, " Katie said causing both girls to scream " Yes, that would be awesome"
Peyton run her fingers through her hair, " Girls, calm down" she said, as she moved Kelly from her lap. Lucas watched her closely, "look we're not making no promises here." Peyton said, she looked at Lucas, who was giving her a confused look. She stood up and looked at both girls.
" What do you mean Peyton?"
"What I mean is that, your daddy and I do like each other a lot, but were not talking marriage or living together," Peyton told them, as the both looked away from her. " we are taking it slow, just testing things out." she said hoping that they understand what she's trying to say. She wasn't really sure how to explain this situation to six years olds. " Marriage is a big step, and we need to see how things go between us first, we need to date a little longer get to know each other a little better."
Both girls were still looking away, " Look you guys, I get why you want us to get married right away, but these things take time, I don't want to rush anything."
" We just want to be a family" Katie said,
" Hey, we can still be a family, without being married or living together." Lucas said, as lifted his daughter up on his lap, then Kelly. " How about we promise to start doing things together, we can have a...
"A family night " Peyton finished for him. Lucas just smiled,
" What is a family night?" Katie asked.
" It's one night out of the week, where the four of us will get together, and we can play broad games, watch movies, go out to dinner, go to the park, things like that." Peyton told them,
" That sounds cool" Kelly said,
" It sure does" Lucas agreed with her.
" Can we do something tonight?" Katie asked the two adults,
" Well, we were actually going to take you guys to dinner tonight,it's how we planned on talking to you two, but that got ruined." Peyton laughed.
"Can we still go to dinner, as a family?"
" That sounds prefect."Peyton told them, as Lucas winked at her.
"We can wear one of our new dresses." Kelly tell Katie. " Aunt Haley brought as two dresses at the mall today." Kelly tells her mom. " Lets go try them on again" she says as she runs out the room, Katie follows behind her.
Peyton sighs as she sit back down beside Lucas, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "That went better than I expected" she laughed. As Lucas kissed the side of her head.
" I know." Lucas said, as he played with her fingers, picturing a ring on her finger one day.
" So everything is prefect " Haley said, as she looked at the couple in front of her. " You two can finally be together, the girls are happy,...I'm having a baby...life is prefect." She bit her lip as she waited for her news to hit them.
Lucas and Peyton both nodded, Peyton's eyes widen, "What?" Peyton said, as she stood up, realizing what she just said. " Did I hear you right?"
" We're having a baby" Haley says, as she stands up. running towards Peyton.
Peyton pulls her into a hug, " Oh my god, Haley that's great" she said as she hugged her tight.
" Congrats man" Lucas says as he hugs his brother.
" I can't believe it's finally happening" Haley said, as she cried, " I wanted this for so long"
" I know" Peyton told her as she hugged her again. Knowing how much this baby meant to them, they have tried for two years. " When did you find out?"
" A few days ago" She said, as they pulled apart, " I'm sorry for not telling you, I just wanted Nathan to be the first to know."
" It's okay, I'm just happy for you, " She looked at Nathan " For both of you."
" I think we should all go out tonight, we have a lot to celebrate." Lucas said, as he pulled Peyton to him, wrapping his arms around her waist.
" We should do" she said, as she kissed him sweetly.
" I don't think the girls will like it," Nathan said, causing the them to look at him " They just seem so excited about having family night and I think us being there will ruined that."
" Nathan Royal Scott" Peyton said, " You guys are family, " Peyton said, as Lucas agreed, " And besides their going to be more thrilled over the fact that , their going to have a little cousin. "
" You think so?" Haley asked, as Nathan wrap his arm around her. Peyton nodded. " Then we will love to join our family tonight for dinner."
Peyton laid her head on Lucas shoulder, " I love you" he whispered, in her ear, She looked up at him. " I love you to" she replied they shared a simple sweet kiss.
" Is this what we are going to see every time we walk into a room now?" Kelly asked, as she in Katie entered the room
Peyton rolled her eyes and smiled, Lucas blushed, which was something new for her to see, but she liked it. " Probably, for a little while till Lucas gets tired of kissing me" she said, as she smiled up at him.
" I will never get tired of kissing you Peyton Sawyer," He said in a low whispered, smiling down at her,
Katie and Kelly share a smile at his words, Haley winked at the girls, Knowing what they are thinking, Wedding bells will be ringing in the future for them. The girls wish will come true someday. If Haley had anything to do with it, she will make sure that her best friend ended up being her sister in-law. She watched as Lucas picked up his daughter, and Peyton picked up her's they make an adorable family, " See prefect match I told you." she whispered to Nathan.
" Yeah." he said, as he placed his hand on her flat stomach, " I can't wait till that's us one day"
" me either." she whispered, as she picture herself holding their baby...
Well. I decided not to end this chapter with a cliffhanger, I figure it was time to end a chapter happily. So enjoin this happy one, cause as I said before, more drama will be coming. And let's just say it will included Lucas past.
There will be a time jump in the next chapter to..
