Age Is Just A Number

Chapter 22 Stop With The Okay's

"What?" Lucas asked, as if he didn't hear her correct.

"I'm pregnant." She said, again this time a little louder.

Lucas looked at her confusedly for a moment, She wasn't should what he was think or what he was going to do next. He had an unreadable look on his face. "Lucas, " she said, as she sat up a little straighter. "Tell me what you're thinking." she said, as she bit her lip.

"Okay," he said, as he sat up straighter to.

"Okay, What?"

"Okay, you're pregnant." He said, as he shrugged his shoulders

"Okay, you're pregnant." she repeat what he said., giving him a confused look. "That's all you can say, I tell you I'm pregnant, in you say okay."

"Okay, so are you hungry, I know I'm." He said, as he got up.

Peyton watched him walk into her kitchen. She was definitely not expecting this kinda of reaction. She thought he might yell or get upset, Question how it happen, how can they be so stupid, She also thought maybe he would smile and tell her he loves her and, that he's really happy, Anything, but Okay. What the hell does okay mean? She was getting upset now.

"What the hell does okay me?" She yelled, as she walked in the kitchen.

Lucas turn around for the stove, "What?" he said, as he walk over to the sink and started to wash off the tomato's.

"I said I'm pregnant you said okay, in now you're in my kitchen." she looked around the kitchen trying to figure out what he was doing. "Cooking something, What the hell is going on?"

"I want a taco, so I thought I'll make some." he said, as he started to cut the tomato's up. "Do you want one?"

"No, I want to know what the hell does okay mean?" she yelled, she put her hands on her hips,

Lucas looked over at her in shook his head, she was standing there hands on her hips, confinement and angry written all over her face. Her green eyes where glaring at him, like they were about to attack him. "God you're beautiful." he said, as he walked over to her.

"Stop." she said, as she backed away before he could kiss her.

"What?"

"You're girlfriend just said she was pregnant, and all you can say is okay. "

"Okay,"

"Damn Lucas, stop with the okays I hate that word."

"Peyt,...

"This is not what I expected, " she interrupted him

"Expected for what." He wasn't sure why she was getting upset with him.

"When a girl tell her boyfriend she is pregnant, she expects some kinda of reaction. I expected you to be upset or to question me how it happen since we use protecting all the time." she took a deep breath. "I even thought maybe after hearing you're speech a little while go. that you, would be happy. I didn't expect you to say okay, then go make you're self a damn taco. "

"I'm not Chase." he said, as he crossing his arms over his chest.

"What?"

"You wanted me to reacted like Chase did when he found out about Brooke."

"No you're not Chase,"

"I know," he said smirking at her.

"No you're not Chase because Chase actually had a reaction. you had nothing. I kinda wish you would have asked me if it was yours, then I would know you actually care or something."

"I do care,Peyton. I love you. But I know what you're doing," he said, still smiling at her.

"What? What the hell am I doing Lucas?"

"You are testing me?" he said, as if it was the most simple thing in the world.

"I'm testing you?" she shook her head, "What in the hell does that mean? I'm testing you." she was pissed off now.

"You were so upset with the way Chase reacted to Brooke been pregnant. That you just wanted to see if I would reacted the same why?"

She couldn't believe her ears, "Why would I do that?" she yelled, as she dropped her arms to her side.

"Because of your little comment earlier, After you ran out of the apartment all pissed off at Chase, I told you I didn't do anything. and you said not yet. Which means you were comparing me to Chase." he said, as he walked back over to the stove. "You wanted to test my reaction, just to see if I would have reacted the same way he did. And I didn't, so there I'm not like Chase."

"Like I said before, you're not like Chase." she said, as she walked over to him, She couldn't believe he actually thought she was fooling him.

"I know, I'm better." he smirk. giving her a wink.

"Yeah, if you say so, but in my book, you're a fucking moron." she said, in a cold voice.

"Excuse me?" he asked, as he turn back around to see her right behind him, giving him a hated look.

"I can't believe you actually thought that I was testing you're reaction. What kinda of girl does that?"

"Peyt,

"Shut up Lucas, it's my turn to talk. Yes I was pissed at the way Chase took the news, and yes I was kinda comparing your reaction to his. I really wasn't sure how to tell you, I wanted to tell you this morning, but when I got back in over heard what Chase said, I panic, because I thought you would reacted the same way. " she closed her eyes, trying to hold back the tears that were coming.

"Peyt...

"Shut up I'm not done. I'm pregnant Lucas, ten weeks to be exact. Which mean two months and two weeks. I found out the day we had dinner with your mom, I was going to tell you that night, but then all the drama happen and I got scared. This is not a test to see what your reaction would be, this has nothing to do with Chase or Brooke. This is about you and me and the life we created. I'm keeping this baby, I want this baby with or without you." she said, with a half-smile, and still holding back her tears.

He was shocked, he really thought she was trying to fool him. But now as she stands in front of him, tears slowly coming down her face, he knows that she is serious. "Luc..." Before she could speak he kissed her lips, gently at first, then more deeply and urgently until their mouths were open with passion.

Seconds later, he pulls back in rested his forehead on hers, "Seriously, this is real, no joke." he asked, as he helded her close.

"Yes, I'm having your baby Lucas Scott." she said, as more tears fell. "And if you say okay, I swear to god I'll ripe out your heart right out of your chest." she joked,

He knew she was joking, but he still believe she could cause some damage, as mad as she was, so he didn't say okay this time. "I love you Peyton." he said, as he wiped away her tears.

"I love you to," she whispered, as he kissed her again.

"We're having a baby." he said, still in shock but in a good way.

"Yes we are." she whispered, happily

"Are you happy about it?" he asked, as they stay locket together. "I mean you're only eighteen and I don't...

"Yes," she said, interrupting him again. " I'm young and no I never thought that I would be pregnant at a young age. I really don't think any girl plans on getting pregnant at eighteen. I never thought I would be so in love at eighteen either, but I'm, and I'm ready for whatever happens next. I don't know how to be a mom, I don't know if I will even be a good mom, but I want to try, I know I can do this with you beside me. I going to finished school and I want to go to college, and I want to raise this baby with you."

"I want that to and, you are going to finish school, you are going to college. And you will be amazing mother and incredible wife." he smirk.

"What?"

"Come on Peyton, pregnant or not, I have planned on making you my wife someday."

"Really." she was shocked now.

"Really I want to spend the rest of my life with you." he said, as kiss her sweetly. "I wanted to wait till you're graduation, but now just seems so right." he said, with another kiss. "Stay right here."

"Where are you going?" She questioned, as he ran out of the kitchen.

"I'll be right back." he yelled, before going out the door.

Peyton shook her head, then after a few seconds she walked into the living room. She looked out the window. Noticing his car was gone. "What the hell?" she said to herself,

About ten minutes past by, so she decided she would finish the taco's Lucas started. She was in the middle of making her one. When she heard the door open. "It's about time. Where did you go?" she said, as she turn around expecting to see Lucas standing there. "Brooke" she said, In a surprise voice.

"What are you doing here?"

"I still live here right?"

"Yes, you do," Peyton said, as the two hugged, "Why didn't you call me? I was so worried about you. I know what Chase said, in ...

"Peyt, it okay, I'm fine. I missed my best friend."

"I've missed you to, So you are back for good right?" she asked, with so much hope in her voice.

"Yeah, you're all the family I..." she put her hands on her stomach, "You're all the family we have now." she said, as a few tears fall.

"So I take your parents didn't take the news while huh?" she said, giving her a sympathetic look. Brooke just nodded, "We don't need them, we don't need Chase either. I will always be here for you and my god-son or god-daughter." she smiled.

"Same here," Brooke whispered,

"Peyton I back." Lucas said, as he ran into the kitchen, also shocked to see Brooke there. "Hey, Brooke." he said, giving Peyton a look.

"Hey Lucas," Brooke said, in a low voice.

"Brooke back for good Lucas." Peyton said, still smiling.

"That good, I'm really happy, now maybe Peyton will quite complaining so much" he teased,

"Hey" Peyton said, as she hit his arm. "Where did you go?"

Lucas smiled, as he remember why he left, "I had to get something." he said, sweetly, I want to make it official.

"I'm going to leave you two alone." Brooke said, she was starting to feel unconformable

"No Brooke, please stay" Lucas said, as he gave her a pleading look. "You're Peyton's best friend. and I think she would want you here for this." He said, as he looked back at Peyton who was giving him a look. Brooke nodded, as she lean up against the counter.

Lucas took Peyton's hand and placed it against his chest. "Tell me can you feel my heart beat." she nodded, still confused. He took her hand off his chest in kissed it. "Tell me as I kneel at your feet, you can hear it beat." he said, as he looked up at her. Her eyes when wide when she realized what he was about to do I know there would come a time,When these two hearts would entwine. Just put your hand in mine, and I'll promise to love you forever. I'm ready to begin this journey. I'm with you with every step you take, And we've got a whole lifetime to share, And I'll always be there, Baby I swear. So please believe me, For these words I say are true, And don't deny me, A lifetime loving you, And if you ask will I be true, Do I give my all to you, I will say I do. Let me be you're everything, Let me give you everything you have ever dreamed of. I love you Peyton Sawyer, and I promise to love you and to cherish you, forever. Will you marry me?" he said, as a few tears fell from his eyes.

"Yes, Lucas yes I will." she cried, as he smiled then slipped the ring on her finger. She pulled him up, then throw herself in his arms. "I love you so much."

Brooke stood back also crying at what she just witnessed. She was happy for Peyton, but she was kinda jealous that Peyton got the good Scott. Because she knew that the Scott she was in love with would never do anything that sweet and, caring like Lucas just did. She watched, as Lucas pinned Peyton up against the stove, kissing her all over her face, then her neck. then kissed her stomach. He whispered. "I love you to and, I promise to be good dad." And that moment she realized how lucky Peyton really was. She just wished, she was lucky to. She quietly step out of the kitchen to give the happy couple some alone time.


Chase laid in his room staring at the empty walls, wondering what he could do to make it up to Brooke. He sighed as the door bell rang, he slowly got up and walked towards the door. "Whatever you're selling we ar...Brooke." he said, as he open the door, clearly surprised by her appearances.

"Hey Chase," she whispered, as she played with the hem of her jacket.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, as he looked her over.

"I got lonely in LA"

"Really."

"Yeah, I miss my best friend and, I thought what the hell I have no family and LA anymore. So why stay."

"Come in" he said, no sure what else to say.

She smiled, as she stepped in his apartment, she sat on his couch, feeling kinda uncomfortable. "I'm sorry I just popped up, I think we...

"Need to talk" he finished for her. She nodded, "I'm sorry Brooke, I'm sorry for what I said, I'm sorry for accusing you of sleeping around, I know you have change since we met and, I meant everything I said to you that night on the phone, I love you, Brooke I do, and I want another chance, I want to prove to you that I can be a better man, and I want to be father to our child. " he begged, as he reached for her hand. "Please Brooke."

Brooke sat there speechless and motionless, she didn't expect this to happen at all. Maybe all the Scott brothers were great catches. And maybe she is as lucky as Peyton is. But the question was can she trust him, not to hurt her this time.
