Chapter 17
"I know you want to be apart of our daughter's life," Peyton says, now laying on Lucas' side while he holds her. "It's just… I am worried how she is going to take it. I mean I know that's why she drove down here while I was away. I am just worried that she is going to want both us in her life, now. I mean I know that's what she wants and I want to give that to her, but how am I suppose to give that to her when you live here and we live there. It's just going to be hard. I want all of this to work out, Luke."
"I know you do," Lucas says, placing a kiss on top of Peyton's head. "It's all going to work out. I promise you it's all going to work out. Funny, it sounds like something I would have said to you when you would have told that you were pregnant, but I get to say it now while you're in my arms. A lot has changed in the few hours we have been back together, in the same room. When I first saw you this morning, I was so mad and then we kissed and everything changed. Listen, Peyton, I don't want you and Sawyer to leave my life again. I can't risk you two escaping me. Don't leave me."
"Lucas," Peyton sighs. "I know you want us to be a couple, but we are going to have to work from the start, work at being a couple again. If you want to be a couple again, which I know you do, I know I want to be a couple again. But it's not just us we have to consider, we have our daughter to consider. Is dating really going to be the best thing for her? My life revolves around Sawyer. I don't want her to get hurt."
"Peyton," Lucas sighs. "I am not going to hurt Sawyer, I want to get to know Sawyer, I want to get to know my daughter. I don't want to be the father that my mother was. If I could go back in time and change all of this, I would. I would try to stop you from leaving and then we would have been able to raise our baby, our daughter together, but I can't do that. Although now with you two back, I finally get that chance. I am not going to ruin that now that I have a chance."
"Lucas, the thing I am really worried is like I said before is how Sawyer is going to take all of this. I know, I know the whole reason why she drove down here without my permission which I am still very upset about, but that doesn't really mean that she is prepared to meet you, to meet her father. I can't help but be worried about Sawyer after I am her mother, I should be worried."
"I get where you are coming from," Lucas says. "Maybe it would be best if we work up to have us meet if you think that is best. I can handle letters for now."
"I know that's not what you want to do," Peyton says, leaning up on her elbow. "You have been waiting for sixteen years to meet Sawyer. I have kept her from you for sixteen years and I don't want to do that anymore. It is the time that you two meet. It is the time that you meet your daughter and it is time for your daughter to meet you. You are going to meet your daughter, Lucas."
