Chapter 33- So this is love
Ooh,ooh
This is love
This is love
This is love
This is love
Lucas trudged through the clan of passengers boarding as he moved towards the seat he was assigned to. He raised a coy smile to his face as he saw his protruding fiancee of twenty weeks staring back at him with a sheepish grin as he sat next to her and in his seat.
"I thought you were gonna come meet me,"
" I chickened out." Squeaked the blonde, afterwards smirking in true Sawyer fashion. " You're just gonna have to join the mile high club all on your own."
" I think I just did." he murmured, senting his fiancee to corrupt into fits of laughter, her face flushing red as she did so.
"Eew!" Gasped Peyton as she smacked him lightly causing Lucas to laugh quietly before pulling a face at her, giggles making him smile, afterwards putting an arm around her.
" So, where would you like to get married Peyton Sawyer?"
" I love that question." Answered Peyton with a dreamy sigh which Lucas took notice of and raised an eyebrow, playfully nudging her.
" I better be the only one that's ever asked that question."
" Only you." Murmured Peyton reassuringly, a glowing smile on her lips as she gave him a quick kiss.
" Are you sure you don't wanna join the mile high club? I could make it worth your while." He said in her ear, his voice hoarse and deep, filled with lust making Peyton shiver before slightly pushing him away.
" Oh shut up- I think we've had enough sexual escapades to last us a lifetime, don't you?"
" There's always room for improvement." Murmured Lucas carelessely which Peyton had to laugh at.
" You, Lucas Scott, are a typical guy."
" I'd like to think so." He teased, yelping as Peyton smacked him on his shoulder, a smirk intact on her lips.
" Such nice behaviour for the guy that got you engaged."
"Yes,indeed." She teased before turning to look at him with a beatific smile. " To answer your question, I don't know- why don't we find a place we both like and make that a beginning."
"Ok." Said Lucas with a nod, grinning as he saw the twinkle in his fiancee's eyes as she twirled her engagement ring around her finger. " I'm glad you love it so much."
" It's beautiful,Luke." Said Peyton,mesmerized by the stunning ring she now possesed. It was a three stone blue diamond & white diamond ring that twinkled underneath the sun, still marvelling Peyton at the sight of its beauty, Lucas smiled down at her.
" Only the best for the future Scott to be."
" Peyton Sawyer-Scott. Sounds perfect doesn't it?"
" Sounds like a dream come true." Murmured Lucas, sending fit of laughter into Peyton's system once again.
" Charmer."
" You love me for it." He paused. " And I think the baby agrees with me." He whispered as he felt the light thumpings his unborn baby was currently giving him.
" I love you, you know that?"
" I love you too,Peyton." He said with a grin as he dipped his head down and met his scrumptious fiancee in a long, passionate kiss. They pulled back when air became a problem and leant their foreheads on one anothers before a yawn escaped Peyton's face.
" Tired?" At her vast nod, he smiled. " Go to sleep,Peyton." Peyton nodded, giving him a last much needed kiss before settling her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes and landing into the land of sleep. Lucas grinned as he looked down at his fiancee, her soft snores filling the room like music to his ears, her lucious curls caressing his fingers as he ran his hands through it. He had once doubted that this dream they had worked so hard for would come true, doubted that this would become reality; but all in all, he had gotten what he wanted, Peyton Sawyer was becoming his bride.
Flashback- yesterday night.
He was nervous.
Scratch that- He was fucking nervous.
He felt his leg tremble violently, felt his breathing quicken as he tried to restore his fast beating heart into a normal pace while he fiddled with the ring in his pocket. They had just arrived in L.A merely three hours ago yet it felt like they had been there since the existance of time. They had done all the neccesities : Spent two hours listening to the ravenous, pumped up music he called the Clash blaring through the speakers and had trudged back into their hotel room for a much needed, relaxing romantic dinner. He found himself wracking for ways Peyton would react to the announcement he planned to announce and several reactions made sweat to beam off his forehead, lucky for him- Peyton didn't notice, taking a look around the room they had been in, merely three years ago.
"God- I still can't believe that crack in the walls still there-" She shook her head with a slight smile. " Who would have though we'd be in the same hotel room we were three years ago."
" Seems like a dream,huh? Fate seems to be springing them together."
" More like deja vu." mumbled Peyton with a smile, worries reflecting through her sunkissed face as she stared at him knowingly. " Hey, what's wrong? You've been all distant and trembling all night. In Brooke's words, you're broodier than usual."
" Is broodier even a word?"
" I dunno, you never know when it comes to Brooke Davis." Murmured the blonde before moving closer to him, hand on his shoulder. " What's wrong,baby. Talk to me. Is it something bad?"
" Depends on the way you look at it."
" What do you mean by tha-" She was cut off as a gasp of surprise filled the room, taking in the way her boyfriend's suddenly stiff legs went down on one knee, his head looking up at her, eyes with a fury of emotions which revealed hope, anxiety, panic , nervousness, love and so much more. She closed her eyes quickly, the moment feeling like a dream where she'd wake up and realize in a blurry haze that it had been all a dream.
Her eyes opened and he was still there, still in that position; her heart fluttered in her chest.
" Peyton, I love you-" He said as he revealed the goregeous ring that held a sparkling grace to it, emitting tears to come into the pool of green eyes he adored so much.
" I've been in love with you since longer than I can remember. I remember the first day I ever saw you, all skinny arms and lucious curls like an angelic halo. You've changed my life,Peyton. Many times more than others. I've done mistakes, hurt you to avoid hurting myself; but never had I ever felt a deep emotion of love with anyone else but you. You complete me,Peyton. You save me, you fix me and you make me a better person. When we're apart, there's this void that is emptied inside me, growing stronger and stronger each minute. You've given me everything, a child, another one on the way, family, the will to be a father; but most of all you've given me love which is the truest treasure of all. You said, your dream was reanacting this scene- me proposing to you and you saying yes; let me make that wish come true,Peyton. Let me give you all the happiness you deserve, make your wishes come true. You said we're true love always and if you're not ready, then I'll wait forever,Peyton Sawyer- I'm not being added to the list of people who always leave. So do me the honours Peyton, will you be my bride and give me the chance to show you what our love's all about?"
"Yes,baby,yes!" Shrieked Peyton, tears swimming down her face, a full out grin etching her gorgeous features as she saw the grin that had formed on her fiancee's face before he slipped the elegant ring on her finger with such poise. " Perfect fit." She whispered, beaming down at him.
" You've made me the happiest person to ever walk on the face of the earth, Peyton soon to be Scott."
"Likewise." She whispered with honesty and love before smirking down at him. " Now stand up and kiss me, you look silly down there." murmured Peyton, giggling as he moved vastly to his feet before connecting her lips with his, they're tongues meshed together as they battled in complete bliss. Her dream was coming true and as she caught the smile that her fiancee had done. hovering over her's. She made a mental correction- they're dream, and she couldn't wait.
Flashback ended-
And as Lucas stared back at his fiancee, he knew their time apart, had been a cover for the greatest year of his life; and he owed it all to his new fiancee.
So this is love
So this is love
I'm all a glow
And now I know
The key to all
Heaven is mine
My heart has wings
And I can fly
I'll touch every
Star in the sky
So this is the miracle
That I've been dreaming of
So this is love
Lucas entered his brother and his sister in law's home, a glowing smile permanentely etched on his face. His smile grew wider as he caught sight of the guys, Skills, Nathan and Jamie all playing Nitendo Ds and by the looks of it, failing terribly at the game his namesake was currently winning at.
" Unbelievable!" Gasped Lucas in mock-horror. " You're having a guy's day without me?"
" You're always with Auntie Peyton,Uncle Luke." Said the four year old with a childish grin which Lucas had to grin at as he ruffled the kids head.
" Hey! Watch the hair!" Cried out the boy in panic, which they all had to laugh at as Nathan nodded approvingly at his son and went on his diatribe of ' the kid learns from the best'. Lucas rolled his eyes playfully, ignoring the boy's shriek of protest as he scooped him up.
"Well I'm not with her now."
" That's a first." Mumbled Nathan, laughing as his brother glared at him heatedly.
" Well, I guess you guys don't want to hear the good news."
" What news?" Asked Mouth.
" Lemme guess, y'all are having twins?"
"No." Said Lucas with his eyes narrawoed as he answered Junk's question. " Atleast, I wouldn't know. Peyton won't let us know the gender."
" Then what's going on?"Asked Fergie in confusion.
" Well for starters, you could be congratulating the newly-engaged Scott brother." Bragged Lucas with a grin, his grin widening as he saw the shocked,estatic looks that transmitted on his group of friends faces.
" No way!"
" Proposed to her last night." He said, answering Nathan's exclamation.
" Dude, congrats. It's about time." Said Nathan, proud of his brother stepping up to the plate.
" Yea man, we were all wondering when you be tying the knot and there you go , surprising us with a bang!" Exclaimed Skills as he clasped his best friend on his back. " Congrats man, I couldn't think of anyone else to marry skinny girl."
" I second that." Mumbled Mouth with a smile as he hugged his friend.
" Uncle Lucas, do I have to wear a tux?" Asked the little boy innocentely. " 'Cause that didn't work out so well last time."
" Sorry , you kinda have to." He smiled at him. " How about, we let you pick out your tux this time."
" Alright!" Shrieked the four year old in delight as he pumped his fist in his air, making everyone drop into fits of laughter. " Does that mean Auntie Peyton's gonna be my real auntie now?"
" Got it one,Jim-Jam." Exclaimed Nathan as he took a hold of his son.
" Alright! She's cool."
" Glad you think so, I feel the same way." Grinned Lucas as he took a seat on his brother's set of chairs. Fergie and Junk grinned at each other before looking at the newly-engaged Scott brother in front of them.
" Well since Lucas ova' here decided to ditch the land of singles and got himself engaged-"
" We decided how better to celebrate his engagement than to kick his scrawny ass in a game of basketball." Ended Junk as he finished off Fergie's sentence.
" I think, he accepts the challenge." Murmured Lucas, emitting a rave of cheers through the room as they exited the back way to the backyard court. Skills grinned as he looked at the four year old in his arms.
" You think we can handle em' losers if we work together?"
" Damn straight, Uncle Skills!" Cheered Jamie which He had to laugh at as he shook his head at the boy.
" Let's hope you play like your father."

Haley James Scott walked into Brooke Davis's store, the chime of the bell making her brunette friend to look up and smile at her as she pulled the rest of her form into the packed store.
" Hey Tutormom!" Chirped Brooke as she hugged her friend.
" Hey Tigger." Answered Haley with a smile as she reciprocated the movements of her portruding brunette friend of 10 weeks. " How's pregnancy treating you?"
" Like a bitch." Groaned the brunette as she rubbed her slightly swollen abdomen. " Morning sickness sucks."
"Well that's pregnancy for ya." Teased the brunette, earning a pout to form from Brooke's lips. She laughed and put a consoling hand on her friend. " Is everything okay? I heard about Victoria."
" Yeah, she's a bitch as everyone already guessed and she made her way over to the store and basically called me a whore- unfit mother- unfit to take care of this company and dissed my friends, my boyfriend and my unborn child."
" Oh Brooke-" Said Haley, as she put an arm around the brunette.
" It's okay, Peyton already dealed with the whole rage blackout thingy majiggy."
"Rage blackout?" Asked Haley with amusement which Brooke had to roll her eyes at.
"Release of pent up emotions." She smirked. " By the way, I think someone watches too much of the O.C"
" I enjoy watching the thrill of drama in someone else's life instead of ours, sue me." Teased Haley with a smile.
"Well hopefully, there won't be much of that anytime soon." Said a voice, making Brooke and Haley to look up at Peyton with a smile on they're face.
" Hey P ."
" Hi,Mommy."
" Hey guys,miss me? of course you did"Exclaimed Peyton as she gave them each a form-fitting hug.
"Well aren't we cocky today?" Teased Haley as she nudged her friend.
"Maybe I am."
" Ok spill P, what's got you smiling? Did Lucas give in to your sex-craved hormones?""
" That and maybe this has to do with it!" Squealed Peyton, lifting her hand up to show her engagement ring and laughing as her friend's squealed and hugged her tightly.
" Oh my god,Momma Sawyer !"
" I knew you would say yes, your like a magnet when it comes to that boy!"
" You knew?" Asked Peyton with curiosity at Haley.
" Who do you think managed the hookups in twenty four hours?"
" I should've figured, you two are best friends."
"And we always will be." Murmured Haley, Brooke rolling her eyes only to squeal as she marvelled the ring.
" It's beautiful Peyton, Broody knows how to pick em' "
" I was surprised myself- then again his first ring was a stunner as well." Haley smiled as she hugged her blonde friend.
" I'm happy for you, think of it like this, you'll officially be my sister in law!" Squealed the brunette, laughing as Peyton took a minute before revealing her girly side and squealing with her.
"Congratulations,P. Now how about we celebrate,free girls night on me." Exclaimed Brooke with a smile, her smile widening as her friend hugged her.
" I say, what are we waiting for."Ended the blonde, as she wrapped her arms around both Brooke and Haley.
" I love you guys,"
"We love you too, Peyton." Exclaimed Haley, as she hugged her friends before pulling back and smirking at them. " Now let's get this moving-momma's ready for some fun." She said, making laughter emit from their mouth as they exited the store. Brooke smiled at her glowing friend, for once she was proud of Lucas Scott ; despite everything he's done in the past five years, he finally is getting the chance to settle down - with the right girl.

Lucas Scott walked into his house and grinned as he saw his fiancee, clearly trying to get something on the shelves and chuckled at her frustration before deciding to help her out; putting a hand around her waist as he moved to get the said object with ease.
" Thanks,baby."
" No problem, so what did my soon to be wife do today?"
"Well- I told the girls about our engagement and they were so thrilled, we indulged in a girl's night"
" Girls night?" Asked Lucas with a raised eyebrow which Peyton had to giggle at as she kissed his cheek.
" I think she was bummed about the whole no drinking rule so she decided to have some fun- our engagement is just her outing."
" Ah- I see."
" What about you,Scott? I haven't seen you since we left the airport." She gasped in mock-horror. " You're not ditching me already,are you?"
"Never." He mumbled. " I couldn't even if I tried."
"Good, otherwise I'd have to sucker punch you and I'm not really in the mood to hurt you."
"You'd never do that." Exclaimed Lucas with a tint of amusement as he pulled his fiancee flush to him. " You love me too much."
" Yes, I do." She said as she got a hold of his face and kissed his lips, longfully and full of passion as their tongues meshed together as one. He started to trail his hands down her top, making the outline of taking off her shirt when the slamming of the door pulled them out of their R-rated make out session. They looked down to see a three year old run in with a huge smile on her face.
" Mommma,daddy!" Exclaimed Kaylee as she ran full speed ahead into her parent's embrace.
" Hi bumblebee, have a good day at Grandpa's?"
" Mhmm!" Chirped the three year old smiling. " I beat him in step-step party step,Momma. He fells flats on his face!" Exclaimed Kaylee with a smirk which the adults had to laugh at.
" That's great,princess." He smiled as he shared a look with his fiancee, pulling the two of them in his arms. " How would you like to know our little surprise."
" I wove surprises!" She exclaimed, beaming up at them.
" We know you do,bumblebee. Which brings us to our question, how would you like to wear a pretty little dress for a wedding."
" Who's wedding, if it Lindsay's, I no goin' " Answered the petite blonde, with a stubborn shake of the head which Lucas had to laugh at.
" It's not Lindsay's baby girl, It's more like- Mine and your mother's." At the look of confusion that etched on Kaylee's face, he laughed. " Mommy and I are getting married."
" Weally! We gon' be a real family now!" Squealed the petite,blue eyed three year old which Peyton had to laugh at.
" Absolutely!"
"Yay!" She shrieked with delight as she clapped her hands in satisfaction, she kissed her father's cheek. " You did good,daddy."
" I think so,too." Exclaimed Peyton as she kissed her fiancee.
" I've misses you,Momma and Daddy."
" We've missed you too,baby girl." Exclaimed Lucas as he kissed his little three year old's forehead. Kaylee smiled up at her parent's before her eyes going wide and struggling out of her parent's arms.
" Where are you going?"
" To tells Lilly and Grandma Karen,daddy!" Said the three year old excitedly as she grabbed a hold of the phone. Peyton laughed as she watched her daughter scramble to the living room.
" How long do you think it will it take for her to realize that she can't work a phone,yet."
" I'm guessing three seconds." Answered Lucas as he kissed her forehead, laughing as true to his word, a whine of ' daddy de stupids phone no workin' ! ' flowed through the room.
"Let's go bail her out, Scott."
" Right behind you," Murmured Lucas before spinning her around in his arms and looking straight into her eyes. " I love you, you know that?"
" I love you too, Lucas." She said as she took his lips in hers quickly and Lucas had to grin as he put an arm around his portruding fiancee's waist before heading into the living room where a pouty three year old awaited him- He loved his life,he came to the conclusion that his fantasies are coming true; like he was dreaming wide awake.
Until tonight
