Our Time
Chapter 8
Getting back to work. Doing what i love. Is what needed to happen. The hours fly by. I get to be creative. Work with my team and focus on the story i want to tell. I loved being a writer.
But being a father was my purpose in life. It gave my life meaning.
My friends were my family. I depended on them and they have always shown up for me and i try my best to show up for them.
Brooke and Blaine are so important to me. But i have a difficult time expressing that. I don't let them get too close even though distance is the last thing i want from them.
I want to be the best father i can be. Yet i find myself making more mistakes then wins.
I keep Brooke at arms length. Because i need her more then she needs me. I love more then i thought possible but don't know if i deserve her.
"Lucas. Someone is here to see you." The receptionist said.
"Send them in." Lucas replied.
Minutes later. Peyton appeared.
Lucas wasn't sure what to make of her being here.
"Are you going to get you're record player and records or not?" Lucas asked.
"I left that behind for you. A keepsake of our time together."
"I did love you and i'm sorry i hurt you."
"I'm pregnant. I wanted to tell you before the rumors came out." Peyton explained.
Lucas looked her up and down then stared at her stomach.
"You just got with Julian so the baby is mine." Lucas said.
"I'll always love you the most." Peyton admitted.
Lucas reached over and put his hand on her stomach.
"What do you think Luke? "Boy or girl?" Peyton asked.
"A healthy baby is all i care about." Lucas replied.
Peyton smiled up at him. She had still. His heart. His love.
It was all she wanted.
"What about Julian?" Lucas asked.
"The baby could be yours. Or Julian's." Peyton admitted.
