Age Is Just A Number
Chapter 21 We Need To Talk
Later that evening Peyton and Lucas cuddled on the couch, as they watched a movie that neither one had ever seen or heard of. Payton wasn't really pay it any attention, she wasn't really sure if Lucas was either. Her mind was on the little conversation she shared with Nathan today. She wondered if Lucas was serious about cutting Nathan and Haley from his life. She wondered about Jamie and how this little fight would affect a four-year old. She wondered if Lucas knew how much Jamie adored him, and loved him. She hope that Lucas wouldn't ignore Jamie to, because honestly this silly fight between them has nothing to do with him. Jamie has no say and what his parents say or do to anyone.
She knows they need to talk and, now as they lay together on her couch seem like the prefect time. "Lucas."
"Hmm."
"Lucas, I think we should talk." she said, as she turned around in his arms to face him.
"About what?" He asked, as he continued to watch the movie.
"Well..." she began, "I kinda had a little talk today." she said, as started to play with the buttons on his shirt.
"With who?" He asked, still watching the movie.
"Um...Nathan." she whispered.
"Nathan who?" he asked, finally taking his eyes off the movie.
"Nathan, your brother."
"Why?"
"He was in the library this morning when I got there. He asked me if we could talk."
"What the hell did he say to you?" he asked, as he sat up.
"Lucas calm down, he didn't say anything wrong." She said, as she also sat up. "He told me about your little visit to his house last night."
"He had no right."
"Well, I'm glad he did. If it wasn't for him. I would had no idea about the DNA test today. Nathan told me about it. How else did you think I found out, you sure in the hell didn't tell me."
"I thought maybe Chase called you or something and, I was going to tell you."
"When after it was over?"
"No, I...I wanted to call you last night when I left that place in tell you. But I wasn't sure if you would pick up." he reached over for hand. "Then seeing you last night standing in my doorway, was like a dream. I wasn't sure if you were real, till I actually got to kiss you. " he smiled, "Then I wanted to tell you last night, but you looked so damn beautiful, and it felt like forever since the last time I got to touch you and hold you, make love to you. So I just push it aside, because I needed you, I needed to feel you, I needed to be with you mental and physically."
"I understand that." she said, as she touched his cheek. "I needed you and the same way last night." she leaned over in kissed him. "I love you, and I want to be able to talk to you, so I need you to talk to me."
"Peyton, we do talk."
"I know, but I want to talk about Nathan and Haley and, this whole cutting them out of your life thing."
"Peyton, they lied to me."
"About what?" she asked, she didn't remember Nathan saying anything about lying to anyone.
"Figured, he left out the part where he looked bad huh?" he said, as he shook his head.
"What did the lie about Lucas?"
"Nathan and Haley knew about Josh for the last five months."
"Wow!" was all she could say.
"I know." he said, as he stood up. "Some family huh? they are supposed to love you and, be there for you and look out for you. "
"Maybe they had their reasons." she shrugged.
"What? I can't believe you just said that. there are no excuses to lie to your family." he said, coldly.
"But?"
"Peyton, they lied to me." he yelled, causing Peyton to jump a little. "I don't want nothing to do with them."
"Lucas. You can't mean t...
"Yes I do mean it Peyton, I am done with them, " he said interrupted what she was going to say.
"What about Jamie?"
Lucas looked at her, "I love Jamie, I would never do anything to hurt him."
"Cutting his parents out of your life, Don't you think that is going to hurt him."
"Why are you on their side? You are my girlfriend, you are so supposed to be on my side. Hell Peyt, they can't stand that we are together. They even brought Lindsey back to town hoping I still had feeling for her. Then I would dumb you and be with her. But yet you're here defending them."
"I'm not defending them, And I honestly don't believe Nathan, really had anything to do with the whole getting you and Lindsey back together. And Nathan didn't ask me to talk to you about him and Haley. He was just been a father, he was worried about Jamie. He told me how much Jamie adores you and that Jamie likes you better than Chase."
"He did." he said, as he smile. "Well he is right, Jamie doesn't like me better than Chase." he smiled. "I don't know what to do."
"Look I can't make you trust Nathan or Haley or even talk to them again. That is your decision. But I want to get to know Jamie, and I wanted to get to know you're whole family. But if you don't want me to...
"I do Peyt, I want all them to know you, because I know that they will all love you, if the give you a chance. But I just can't get over the fact that Nathan lied to me."
"Find how about we take it one step at a time. I will call Nathan and set up some time for Jamie to spend with his uncle Lucas. And then we will wait in see what happens, maybe one day you will be able to let Nathan in again."
"Okay, I want you and Jamie to meet." he said, as he walked back over to her. "What else did you two talk about?"
"Well he told me, that Lindsey admitted that she really didn't know who the father was."
"Yeah, I was so convinced that Josh was mine and now that I know that there is a chance that he isn't. I'm kinda happy about that.
"You are?"
"Yeah, I mean I want kids I do, but I want to be in love and married, when I have kids."
He said, as he wrapped his arm around her.
Peyton bit her lip, as she laid her head on his shoulder. she wondered if she sure tell him now. She wondered if he even sees her in his future.
"Peyt,"
"Yeah"
"You meant what you said early right." He asked, as he played with her hair.
"About what?" she asked, as she looked up at him.
"About Josh."
"Lucas, I love you, whatever the results say, I'm not going anywhere." she said, as she stroked his cheek.
"good, because I went crazy without you for a week. I don't know what I will do if I lost you for good." he whispered, as their eyes stay locked.
"Do you see me in your future?" she needed to know before, she told him her news.
"Peyton, baby you are my future," he whispered, as they share a smile. "You're always on my mind, all the time, from dusk to dawn. You mean so much to me, you're the wind and the rain, you're a river that takes away my pain. You're the sun that comes out on my darkest days. You're everything to me. You are the only thing that keeps me going, And when I look in your eyes in see the love you hold for me, that alone keeps me alive. Because a love like our just had to be, I Love you so damn much Peyton Sawyer, And it will be a true blessing if I get to spend the rest of my life with you beside me."
Peyton eyes were full of tears, with he finally finished. She cried, as he wiped away her tears, and kissed her forehead. After hearing that little speech she knew that now was the prefect time. " Lucas. I have something to tell you."
"What baby?" he said, as he rested his forehead against hers.
"I'm pregnant." she whispered,
