Age Is Just A Number

Chapter 26 Six Weeks Later

It's been six weeks since the dinner at Haley's and Nathan's. Brooke did convince Peyton a week later to go out to lunch with her and Haley. Lucas wasn't to happy about her spending more time with Haley, but he knew better than to stop her.

Things between Peyton and Haley were going good. Haley had decided to let go of the past in live for now. As long as Lucas was happy, she was happy,The three girls have spent the last five weeks, talking baby's and wedding stuff. Peyton wanted to get married soon. They haven't set a date yet, mainly because Peyton was waiting on the DNA results. It's not that she doesn't like Josh or doesn't want him in their lives. She would accept him if he is Lucas, she was more afraid that Lindsey would want Lucas back. She believes with her whole heart that Lucas loves her, but she still can't shake the feeling that if Josh is Lucas, that she will lose Lucas to Lindsey. And would be left alone to raise her baby.

Lucas would go out to dinner with them, when Peyton would ask, just to make Peyton happy. But he was still having trouble trusting Haley again. He would treat her right, he would talk to her, but he still kept a close eye on her. He to was wondered about Lindsey reaction to Peyton being pregnant with his child and their engagement. He was afraid Haley was only playing nice with Peyton till the DNA results come back. If Josh is his, he knew Haley would be back on Lindsey side, which means she will drop Peyton. Which will hurt Peyton, because Peyton was actually loving having Haley in her life. Haley was able to answer all her questions about her pregnancy and the labor.

Haley was okay with Lucas keeping a close I on her, She told him she understood, and she would wait till he was ready to be friends again. She just prayed it didn't take that long. She needed him to trust her again, But she knows once trust is broke, it's hard to get back.

Brooke, Peyton and Haley decided to go shopping today. Well the boys hit up the river court. They were coming at of Macy's carrying lots of shopping bags, when someone knock Peyton down.

"What the hell?" Peyton said, as she was knock on her ass.

"Peyton you okay?" Haley asked, as she helped her up.

"Yeah I think." she placed a hand on her stomach.

"Don't you watch where your walking?" Brooke asked, the person who knock Peyton down. "Crazy Bitch."

"Sorry." The person said,

"It okay I...Lindsey" Peyton said, as she looked up at the person who knocked her down. She wasn't sure why Lindsey was in Tree Hill, She had been avoiding Lucas phones calls and Emails for the last six weeks.

"Peyton" Lindsey said, she was also shocked. But more shocked when she looked behind Peyton. "Haley"

"Hey Lindsey" Haley said, as she picked the bags Peyton dropped. "What are you doing in Tree hill?"

"Well, I was missing my best friend, but I see she isn't missing me." Lindsey said, in a cold voice,

"Sorry, I've been kinda busy" Haley said, as she hopped Lindsey didn't start anything, She really didn't need Lucas to be more upset with her.

"Yeah, I can see that so what are you hanging with high school girls?" As she eyed Peyton up."I think you should cut down on your drinking, you're getting a beer gut." she said, smiling, at the little bump that she anyone could see with the little red top, She was wearing.

"I pregnant you bitch." Peyton said, in the same cold voice, but with a big smile.

All three girls watched as Lindsey's eyes widen and her jaw dropped, "P...pre...pregnant?" Lindsey questioned.

"Yeah, I nineteen weeks, And, I know for a fact that Lucas is the father. We won't be having any DNA testing done for this one." Peyton said, still smiling. But on the inside she was worried.

"Wait..."Brooke said, "This is Lindsey as and Lucas ex-wife Lindsey?" Brooke question, Looking at Haley and Peyton.

"Yeah, "Peyton said, clearly remembering that Brooke never met her. "Brooke Davis meet Lindsey Str...

"Scott." Lindsey interrupted her.

"Excuse me?" Peyton said, as she raised her eyebrow.

"My name is Lindsey Scott,"

"She kept the Scott name after the divorce. " Haley said, as she noticed the look on Peyton's face.

"Oh" Peyton whispered, as she looked down at the ground. She bit her lip, as she wondered about Joshua's last name. "Does that mean that Josh has the Scott name to?"

"Well, Duh, Lucas is his father, So course he would have his fathers last name." She lied,

Peyton felt sick to her stomach, "Um...I should get home" she said, as she looked at Brooke and Haley.

"Peyt, we still have to hit up the new baby store across town."

"I know, but I'm not feeling really good. I think I need to go lay down." She said, hopping Brooke would buy it.

"Okay, Lets get you home." Haley said, As started to walk towards the car.

Peyton followed, as did Brooke, who was watching her best friend closely. "Haley, you can drop me off at Peyton's to"

"Brooke," Peyton started to protest.

"I'm not leaving you alone, if you're not feeling well."

Peyton just shook her head she knew better than to fight with Brooke. "Fine" she said, as she climbed in Haley's SUV.

"Peyton sweetheart, I hope you feel better soon. Tell Lucas I send my love" Lindsey said,

"Thank you" Peyton said, with a fake smile. "You take care Lindsey and I will for sure tell Lucas, when he is between my legs, making love to me, with his amazing cock." she winked, " You know since it's the best sex he's ever had." she smiled big, remembering the night Lucas told her she had the best pussy and that he loved being inside of her, she was the most amazing woman he ever be with.

Lindsey face went white as a ghost, her jaw dropped again, Brooke and Haley bust out laughing. "Oh my God, I can't believe you just say that, you are so bad." Brooke said, between laughing.

"I don't know, what came over me" Peyton said, as looked down. "She was

"Getting under your skin" Brooke finished, as Peyton nodded, "Good come back."

"Bye Lindsey," Haley said, between her own laughter. She liked Lindsey a lot, but she didn't like the way Lindsey was making Peyton feel. But hell she loved the look on her face when Peyton said, that to her.

Haley started the car, "I was right about one thing." Brooke said, as they started driving down the road.

"And what was that?"

"You and I are totally hotter than she is."

Peyton shook her head, but didn't reply back. She sat there listening to Haley and Brooke talk. Her mind couldn't escape, that Lindsey was still a Scott, she knew they was married, but she just thought that she went back to her maiden name. She didn't want it to bug her, but she couldn't stop thinking about it.

They arrived at Peyton's, Brooke and Haley helped her carry everything inside. They were all surprise to see the guys and Jamie sitting in living room. "Hey"

"Hey!" Chase said, as he walked over in took the bags from Brooke, then give her a quick kiss. Nathan did the same to Haley,

"Hey little man, was you good for daddy and your uncles today." Haley asked, her son as she picked him.

"Yes" Jamie said, as he started to giggle at the kisses his mother was giving him.

"Wheres Luke?" Peyton asked, as she noticed he was missing from the room

"In the bedroom," Nathan said, "He seems kinda down or something."

"Why?"

"I don't know, everything was fine till we got back here." Chase said, as he pulled Brooke down on his lap.

"Oh, I'll go check on him" Peyton said, as she picked up her bags and hurry to her room. She open the door, to find Lucas sitting on their bed, deep in thought, staring at an envelope in his hands.

"Hey" She whispered, as she shut the door. He didn't even look up at her, "Lucas, you okay?" she asked, as she sat down beside him.

"Hey baby," He said, as he looked over at her. "When did you get home?" he lean over in gave her a little kiss on her lips.

"Just now, are you okay?" she asked, as she wrapped her arms around him.

"Yeah, no, maybe, I will be, I think"

"What's going on?"

"It came today"

"What came to..." she stopped, once she looked down at his hands, "Oh, did you open it?"

"No I wanted to wait for you."

"You didn't have to."

"I know,But I wanted to."

"Well open it" she said, as she pulled away from him. She has waited weeks for these results, in now that their here, she was scared to death.
