Hope you like the update guys :)

Peyton and Lucas sat there for a few moments in each others arms, while Peyton tried to get herself under control. Every time she tried to speak she couldn't get the words out. Giving up, she instead handed over the test to Luke for him to see.

"It's ok, I don't have to look"

"Yes, you do"

Reluctantly, Lucas despondently grabbed the test ready to see another negative result, only to see that it was a very much positive.

"Wait… you're….. we're pregnant?!?!"

Peyton laughed through her tears. "Yes, I'm pregnant!"

"So these are happy tears then!"

"Very happy tears! Luke, We're having a baby!"

"Well then why couldn't you just say that! Crazy women and crying all the time!" Lucas said as he grinned down at his beautiful wife.

Gazing into her eyes, he gently placed his hand over her stomach and kissed her passionately on the lips.

"We're going to have a baby!" Lucas said.

"Finally! I guess that Comet really is a baby making machine just like we predicted" Peyton joked kissing Lucas back.

Sam and Brooke were sitting in the café having a drink and catching up. It was their regular thing now, with both of their busy schedules to make time to see each other, even if it was only over coffee. Sam had settled back into life with her mum, after a little bit of a rocky start. She had a little brother and a little sister, and it was nice to see some similarities between her and someone else, rather than thinking that she was all alone in this world. The time was coming for her to look at applying for colleges, so that was also big on her list of things to do, yet she wasn't sure, after taking so long to find a family, if she really wanted to move so far away from home. Just in case after all it was just a dream and everything will disappear when she moved away.

"So kiddo, what's new with you?!"

Sam smiled. "Not a lot really… just busy finalising all of this college crap, which is kind of silly because I'm not even sure if I want to go"

"What do you mean you don't know if you want to go?"

"Well…. I'm just not sure I'm college material. I mean c'mon, you met 15 yr old me. Doesn't really scream 'college type' does it?"

"Sam…. Don't be silly! You have changed so much since then. Why sell your career short. You have all of these amazing opportunities to do great and become someone amazing, don't you think that the experience will help?"

"I guess so….. did you go to College?"

"Yes, sure did"

"And did it help you?"

"Sure it did."

"See – I've done my research on you Brooke, and I think that regardless of college or not you would still be as amazing at your work as you are today."

"Oh my God, she called me amazing" Brooke winked. "But yes, maybe that's the case, but if nothing else I made connections while I was at college. They've helped me over the years"

"So you're saying that college is as much about the friends and connections that you make just as much as they are about the stuff you learn in classes"

"Yeah…sure!" Brooke said after a pause.

"And were all of these friends designer friends?!"

"No, they were all over, you know you get to know everyone around campus and all…" Brooke tentively said thinking back to her college experience.

"So then you're saying that college is more about frat parties and having a great time as much as it is about what you learn in classes… I mean that's where you make your connections right? Plus I remember reading up about the old Brooke Davis, and she was kind of skanky" Sam cheekily said.

"What! No, that's not what I'm getting at! I mean yes… you'll have parties, and that's all part of the experience, but… it's more about…. What I'm trying to say is… Damn it Sam! Stop mixing my words around!" Brooke said exasperated while playfully hitting Sam across the table.

"I'm gonna tell everyone you said that… I mean after all you have quite the reputation! So… tell me…. Were you worse in High School or College?!"

"I'm not going to answer that" Brooke said coyly

"Oh it was soooo college" Sam grinned

Lucas and Peyton were lying in bed, face to face, staring into each others eyes, the other one smiling as they remembered their happy news. They'd finally done it again. They both however still had a sinking feeling…. Will this pregnancy be like Sawyers? Will everything be ok? Is the baby ok?

"We should go to the doctors?"

"At 2 in the morning?" Peyton teased

"No, tomorrow… you know to make sure everything is ok"

"Here in New York?"

"Sure! That way I can be here. We can always ring up Dr Williamson to get him to converse with the doctor here?"

"What if something's wrong Lucas?" Peyton asked quietly

"Lets not think about that! I mean, you knew really early when you were pregnant with Sawyer, and you haven't had any symptoms yet, so that could be a good sign"

"Or a bad sign… I've had nothing yet… no pains, no upset tummy, no morning sickness…"

"It will be fine! We'll just go and see the doctor in the morning!"

Peyton moved in closer into Lucas' arms. As excited as she was, she needed to feel safe right now. Lucas wrapped her up in his embrace and without even thinking, gently places his arms around her stomach.

Peyton stirred as the sun streamed in through the windows and it took her a second or two to realise where she was. Smiling at the memory of last night, Peyton rolled over feeling for Lucas only to find the bed empty. She then heard in the distance the clatter and quiet noise telling her that Sawyer and Lucas were both up and in the kitchen. Groaning, Peyton pulled herself up from bed and went to join them.

"Hey you" Lucas said as he saw Peyton enter the kitchenette. Smiling he went over to kiss Peyton. "And hey you" Lucas said tickling Peyton's stomach. In response Peyton half smiled. She was still too nervous to be completely excited over this pregnancy. She wanted to see a doctor first and hear from them that everything was ok. As though he was reading her mind, Lucas piped up "I've booked an appointment for us at 10am at the local OB-GYN. I've called Dr Williamson, who says congratulations by the way, but he said that he'll see us when we return home, but things are sounding good so far…"

"What time did you get up to organise all of that!?" Peyton asked.

"It didn't take that long, besides I couldn't sleep. I need to know as much as you do, and I've got the day off today, so wanted to make sure someone could see us."

"You're too good to me" Peyton said, leaning into her husband and kissing him. Then, it dawned on her that something was missing from this breakfast scene. It was a lot quieter than usual, and she wasn't being harassed by a certain little person.

"Where's Sawyer?" Peyton asked innocently

"Oh she's watching TV" Lucas replied tentatively.

Going across the room to see her daughter, Peyton then caught sight of the television. Mouth agape, she turned back to Lucas

"Hannah Montanna?! Seriously?! You're letting our daughter get even more obsessed with Hannah Montanna?!"

Lucas laughed "She likes it!! You can't stop her from watching it!"

"Our daughter who was raised to listen to some of the best music of all time and in the country, and yet, she still falls in love with Hannah Montanna… I swear this is not a child of mine! This would be something…. Brooke would watch as a kid!"

Lucas laughed, clearly enjoying Peyton's exasperation that her daughter didn't seem to be developing her same taste in music. "Hush you… she was brought up from day one listening to The Cure. The poor kid needs some happy and cheery music in her life, or she will think that this world is a very depressing place to be!"

Peyton rolled her eyes and playfully hit Lucas "You love The Cure. You're just too stubborn to admit it."

"It's like listening to songs at someone's funeral" Lucas muttered under his breath.

Peyton pretended not to hear.

"Ok out with it! You've been playing with that phone the whole time I've been here with you! What's going on Sam?!"

"What?!" Sam asked evidently not aware that she had the phone in her hand. "Oh… that." She said sheepishly looking at the phone.

Brooke waited for Sam to start, and tell her what this was about but was only met with silence. Exasperated, she tried again "Aw C'mon… tell me! Is it a boy?"

"What.. No, it's not a boy… well not really…. Ok maybe it's a boy"

"Ha! I knew it! What's his name, what's going on? Is he from school, or is he one of those gorgeous college guys that you sooo shouldn't be dating I might add"

Sam, deciding that if anyone was going to help her through this issue it would be Brooke, decided to spill.

"It's a guy I met a few weeks ago. He's in my year, but he doesn't go to Tree Hill. We went on a date last week and since then we've been messaging and talking on and off. But I dunno… it always seems like it's me that's starting the conversation. I don't want to be one of those needy, clingy girls that has to hear from her boyfriend every day!"

Brooke smiled. Boy, she had forgotten how confusing and frustrating teen romances could be.

"Aw hun, you just gotta let it be. You've made contact with him a few times right?!"

"Yeah"

"And it's always been pretty casual?"

"Well… yeah"

"And he responds to your messages?"

"Of course.. but…"

"Then you gotta let it lie. Let him make the next move. You might be freaking him out by being too eager. Let him sit on it for a while and make the next move. If he doesn't get in contact, then he's not worth it"

"Are you sure?! I mean what if he doesn't know that I'm interested in him?!"

"Well you've already been on a date right?!"

"Yeah"

"And you've made it clear when you chat to him"

"Sort of… I guess…"

"Then, lets hope he knows! You've gotta be flirty but not overpowering, present, but not hanging around like a bad smell. Give him breathing space…"

"Well I guess you are the expert on dating…" Sam teased. But, she was glad she asked Brooke. At least her answers were honest and gave her a little bit of a game plan.

"Hi, We've got a 10am appointment under Scott?" Lucas said to the receptionist as he entered the Doctors clinic. Peyton was still at the car, getting Sawyer out while he ran ahead and let the receptionist know that they were here.

"Sure, just one moment please" the lady said without looking up.

"For Peyton was it?"

"Yes, that's the one"

"Ok – I'll need you to fill out these forms" The lady said handing the forms over. She then looked up at Lucas' face and blushed.

"Oh… my god… how embarrassing…"

Lucas looked around him thinking that he may have spilt something on himself… "I'm sorry?!"

"Oh, not you… I'm just… don't you remember me? I'm the girl from the bar?"

Lucas paused for a minute before remembering… it felt like weeks ago. "Oh sure! I remember now. So you're a nurse?"

"No, just a receptionist. Saving money to go back and study nursing"

During their talk Peyton had come up behind them holding onto Sawyer and was helping Lucas fill out the forms. When they were done Lucas handed back the forms to the lady smiling, while Peyton went to grab a seat.

"She's definitely some girl" the receptionist said smiling.

"I think so" Lucas smiled as he went to join Peyton.

As he sat next to her Peyton smiled coyly to herself. She lent into Lucas and whispered "Oooh the girl from the bar hey?! So this is what you've been doing on tour the whole time?!"

Lucas and Peyton were sitting in the waiting room passing time by. Sawyer was playing in the kids section while Peyton glanced up from her book now and again to make sure she was ok. Right now she was too nervous to read. She had read the same page around 50 times and she still couldn't remember what she was up to. How was it that Lucas was sitting there so calm, reading away?

"What are you reading anyway" Peyton interrupted him.

"Catcher in the Rye. Always an intellectual book for you isn't it" Peyton teased.

"Troubled teenager, not sure where life is headed, a little bit broody… remind you of anyone? Although I must say, his luck with girls was perhaps not quite as good as yours" Peyton teased

"Hey, don't knock a good classic!" Lucas exclaimed defending his book.

"Do you ever read anything that's not heavy and intellectual?" Peyton teased. "I've only ever seen you reading the deep and heavy stuff"

"That's coz they're the good stuff" Lucas smiled, pulling Peyton into him and placing his arm around her shoulders. "I mean lets compare it to what you are reading.."

Lucas grabbed the book from Peyton's lap. "Twilight you are reading Twilight?! Oh dear god, if that is what you are going to read when I leave you alone for a few weeks, I should just cancel this book tour now!"

"Shut up!" Peyton exclaimed, grabbing her book back and hitting Lucas. "It's Hayley's fault anyway! She conned me into reading it!"

"Well I can see Hayley reading it, but really Peyton… I didn't see you as the vampire type!" Lucas teased.

"Hey watch it you, or I might have to trade you in for the newest model!"

"By all means, go right ahead, but your vampire won't be as good looking" Lucas replied before grabbing out his phone

"Oh somebody's full of themselves! What are you doing now?!" Peyton asked pointing to the phone

"Oh well if you're going for vampires, I thought I better go and get that girls number at the reception desk. I mean after all, I will be available soon and then we could go out on a date"

"Sure, if you think that'll help" Peyton laughed

Laughing, Peyton got up to check on Sawyer and bring her back to their seats. Before they settled back down the doctor came out

"Mr & Mrs Scott?"

"You ready?!" Lucas asked Peyton

"As ready as I'll ever be"

And all three of them got up and followed the doctor into the consult room.
