Age Is Just A Number

Chapter 27 Lucas Scott, You Are Blank The Father

"Wonder what is going on in there?" Haley question, as she looked back at the closed-door, that Peyton went through a couple of minutes ago.

"I'm sure everything is fine." Nathan said, as he pulled his wife closer to him.

"Yeah, they are probably having sex or something." Brooke said, as she came out of the kitchen,

"Brooke!" Haley yelled, give her a glare

"What? Peyton has been so horny late,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Brooke!" Haley yelled again, "Do you mind, My son is in the room. I don't want him to hear certain things."

"Oh, sorry I totally forgot he was here." Brooke said, as she looked over at Jamie who was sitting on the floor watching spongebob. "He is just so quite."

"Not always, you should see him at bed time" Nathan said, as Haley agree with him.

"I can't wait to be a mom," Brooke said, happily. As she looked at Chase, who pecked her lips.

"Yeah it a wonderful feeling, but is not always ea...

"I know Haley," Brooke said, cutting her off. "I know it's not all fun and games, there will be some hard times. but I can handled it."

"We can handled it," Chase said.

"We can handled it, I like the sound of that." She smiled and give him a sweet kiss.

"Me too,"

"I won't be anything like my mom, I will love our daughter no matter what she does."

"I know you will." Chase said, as he pulled her closer, knowing how much the lack of support and love from her mom, has cause Brooke a lot of heartache.

"Daughter?" Haley asked,

"OH, yeah I totally forgot to tell you two." Brooke said, as she stood up. "You guys are going to have a niece in few months."

"Aww, I'm going to have a niece." Haley said, as she went over to hug Brooke than Chase.

"Does Peyton and Lucas know?" She asked, as Nathan kissed Brooke's cheek

"Yeah I told then yesterday, Now all we need is for Peyton to have a girl, then our girls can be best friends and best cousins."

"That's it" Haley said, as she looked back at the still closed door.

"What's it?" Chase asked, as he and Brooke sat back down.

"I know what is going on in there." She said, as she motioned to Peyton and Lucas closed door.

"What?" Nathan asked.

"You guys said, that Luke was fine till he got home. right?"

"Yeah, till he was going through his mail."

"Exactly,"

"Exactly what Haley you're not making sense right now,"

"It's been about six weeks since Lucas took the DNA a test. I think he received the results in the mail today."

"Oh" Nathan said, as she looked back at the close door. "I wondered what it said."

"I guesses he is the father." Brooke said, sadly as she thought about what Peyton was going through

"How do you know that?" Chase asked.

"Because they have been in there for a long time. If he wasn't the father I'm pretty sure they would have been out here sharing the good news with us, or we would heard something."


Lucas watched Peyton's face for any kind of sign. A few tears fell from her eyes, that caused her eyes to gloss over, So he was unable to read her like he usually does. She was biting her bottom lip, like she always does. When she is scared or nervous. They have sat there for like twenty minutes, but to Lucas it felt like hours, hell maybe days. He was nervous, in scared to why she hasn't said anything, She had readied the first line but then stopped, before telling him what he has wanted to know for weeks now, He really needed to know, he didn't want to wait anymore.

"Peyt?" He said, as he reached over in lifted her chin. Making her look at him, She was still wearing an unreadable expression.

"Baby, What does it say?" He asked, in impatient tone.

She still says nothing, she still has an unreadable expression. Which makes him feel more nervous than he has ever felt in his life. Then it hits him, her silent, her frown, her tears. Could only mean one thing.

He closes his eyes, as he whispers. "I'm the father aren't I?" his tone is a disappointed one. He he hates that it sounds like that. It's not like he doesn't want to be a father, He wants to be one, more than anything in this world, he wants to be a father. Just not with Lindsey . He wants it with Peyton.

He just wanted to experience the ups and downs of parent hood with Peyton. Yes at one time he wanted it with Lindsey, but she didn't want to have his baby, at least that's what she told him before, now there is a baby, adorable, innocent little baby, who he would be honored to call his son. He just wished, that it wasn't true. He doesn't even know anything about Josh, which is all Lindsey fault, he had only seen him that one time. Lindsey has avoided all his calls and emails. Which made him think that Lindsey was lying about him been the father, She was just saying it to scare Peyton off, which it didn't work. Well, he wasn't to sure if Peyton was going to be sticking around now. He has never been unable to read her, and that scares him the most right now.

"Peyton, Baby, I know this isn't how we wanted it to go." He paused for a second. " Josh is my son and I accept that. I hope you understand why I can't just walk away from him. He is apart of me and I need to be in his life I need to get to know him. I want you beside me as I do this, I need you beside me as I do this. I love you, so damn much Peyton, this doesn't change my feeling for you, I want to be here with you and our baby, Please Peyton don't leav...

"He's not yours Lucas,." She says in a low whispered cutting him off,

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

"Josh isn't yours, " She says, a little loud this time. "Your...not his father." she cry.

"Seriously?" his voice his high,

"Yes it says so right here." She says., as she handed him the letter.

"You are not Joshua Dylan Stevens father." He reads the words, out loud four times, It feels like a load that he had carried had been lifted from him. He felt like he could breathe again.

"I kinda want to slap her." Peyton says, a few moments later.

"What? why?"

"We bumped into her today and she told me that her last name was still Scott,and that Josh's was a Scott to, but obviously that was a lie."

"Well, sorry to say, she is still a Scott, I wish she wasn't but she is. And Josh isn't a Scott, the letter says that it's Stevens which is Ricky's last name. The guy she cheated on me with. Why would she tell you Josh's last name was Scott?"

"I think she got upset when I told her I was pregnant. So she thought that she was going to get some kinda reaction out of me. by telling me Josh had your last name. Which she kinda didn't. Not with Josh as much as with her." She stood up,

"What do you mean?"

"I felt a little jealous" She whispered, as she looked away from him,

Lucas was surprise at her reply."Baby, why would you fill jealous over Lindsey?"

"I don't feel jealous over her. I just..." She sighed. "I hate the fact that she..." She shook her head, then stood up.

"You hate the fact that she what?" Lucas asked, as he walked over towards her.

Peyton crossed her arms over her chest, closed her eyes. "I hate the fact that she was married to you. That she will always have a piece of you."

Lucas smiled, as he wrapped his arms around her. "I love you Peyton, you know that. And I can't change the past, boy do I wish I could sometimes. But you know I would change anything about mine and Lindsey relationship."

"You won't?" She asked in a disappointed tone.

"No, Lindsey was everything I thought I wanted, I loved her, and she was supposed to be my happy ever after. I believe everything happens for a reason, Lindsey didn't want to have a family with me, Lindsey didn't see forever with me, that's why she slept with Ricky, Yeah it hurt like hell, and I was ready to throw in the towel on all girls. Then Chase talked me into a guys night out. I never thought I was going to meet my dream girl that night. Peyton, I love you more than I have ever loved anyone including Lindsey, she was my first love, but you are my last love, I will love you forever Peyton Sawyer. I want you to be mine forever, and I believe you and I are going to make it. nothing could ever change how I feel about you, and nothing could ever pull us a part, because our love is strong, and as long as we have each other. We will make it. And Lindsey doesn't have a piece of me, even if she thinks she does, let her think it, Because you have every piece of my heart Peyton. And as far as I can tell, you always will. Lindsey means nothing to me anymore, you mean the world to me. i will spend the rest of my life showing you have much you really mean to me."

"Lucas" she whispered, as he kissed her. "I love you so much, and I do believe in us. I promise you I will never hurt you, I will always be here for you."

"And I promise I will never hurt you either and, I will always be here for you too, and our baby." He said, as he placed his hand on her belly.

"So you really told Lindsey that your pregnant?" He was shocked, but really happy that she did. He was just wondering what she said..

"Yeah, I also told her that, we didn't need a DNA test for our baby, because I know you're the father."

"And I couldn't want anything else in this world." he said, as he kissed her. "Well, expected."

"Expect what?"

"There is something I want more than you carrying my baby."

"What?" she asked, clearly confused.

"For you to be Peyton Scott"

She doesn't say anything, she just smiles, as she pulls him into a passionate kiss. She could definitely give him that now. She wants everything he wants, she wants to marry him, she wants to give him his first son, his first daughter, hell even his second and third. She wants to come home to him and a house full of kids. And now that Lindsey is no longer a problem in their relationship, she was now ready to set a date. She couldn't wait to be Mrs Peyton Scott either. The soon the better she thought.
