When I see you, I can read it in your eyes
Fate misunderstood
(But things are bound to change)
Swallowed the lies, can't blame you for,
Thinking with your heart
Sometimes life is altered
Break from the ropes your hands are tied
Uneasy with confrontation
Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right
And All Things Will End ~ Avenged Sevenfold
Peyton's POV
I yawned and Matt, Rosie and Blake all looked at me.
"Keeping you up?" Rosie asked laughing.
"How can you be tired?" Matt asked. "You slept for four hours this afternoon."
I shrugged. "I don't know, I'm just tired."
"Are you keeping her up?" Rosie asked Matt, winking at him.
"Something like that." I couldn't help it if I was so tired.
"So." Blake said. "Tell us about the house."
We were at Blake and Rosie's having dinner, celebrating the fact that Matt and I had bought a house together.
"It's really perfect." I said, pushing my pasta around on my plate.
"It's pretty big, but I can't wait to have parties." Matt told them. "The pool is great."
"How many bedrooms?" Rosie asked.
"Five, and they're all pretty big." Matt said.
"Ooh." Rosie smiled. "Five bedrooms to fill up."
I shook my head at her and Matt mumbled. "I don't think so."
"Well yes because this god child will be staying over on a regular basis." She said patting her stomach.
I smiled. "Of course."
Matt smiled and nodded. "Yeah of course."
"Good." Rosie added. "Cause we're gonna need some good babysitters and you two are it."
I was excited for Rosie's baby and I couldn't wait to look after him or her.
"Are you going to eat that?" Blake asked suddenly.
I looked at him and he was pointing at my plate. "Um yeah."
"Seriously Peyton?" Rosie said. "Because all you've been doing is pushing it around for the last half an hour."
I put my fork down. "I haven't been feeling well."
Matt looked at me. "Still?" He asked.
"Well obviously it's some sort of bug and it's hanging around." I told them.
"Yeah for a week or so." Matt said, putting his arm around my shoulder.
"I'm okay." I told them, putting a forkful in my mouth. "I'm almost over it."
I hoped I was anyway, because as I swallowed I felt my stomach start to churn again.
"Seriously?" Matt asked, raising his eyebrows at me.
I nodded, maybe a little too vigorously.
"Oh for godsake Peyton." Rosie said standing up. "Don't eat it."
She started gathering our plates and I stood up to help.
"Maybe you'll be able to stomach dessert." She said walking into the kitchen.
Oh yeah, dessert I could handle.
I followed her into the kitchen and began helping her clean up.
"Honey." She said looking at me. "You don't look 100%."
"I'm okay, I swear, now dessert."
I helped her with dessert and we took it out to the boys, sitting down.
"So." Blake said. "Three days. Are you ready?"
Matt nodded, smiling. "Absolutely, it's been long overdue this album."
Finally the new album was coming out this Friday and they were doing a show downtown for the release.
"Very exciting." I mumbled, shoving a spoonful of pie in my mouth.
Rosie looked at me strangely.
"Are you and Brian, well you know." Blake asked.
"Yeah." Matt told him. "Peyton made me sort it out with him. I'm glad I did, otherwise things would just be awkward."
"Well you couldn't exactly go on the way things were." I said to him.
"I know." He said smiling, leaning over and kissing me quickly.
I smiled at him, happy that everything had sorted itself out.
"Why don't you guys go and do manly stuff while Peyton and I clean up." Rosie told the guys.
"Really?" Blake asked, looking surprised.
"Yes really." Rosie smiled. "Now get."
Blake and Matt jumped up, Matt dropping a kiss on top of my head before disappearing somewhere in the house.
"Obviously he thought I was going to make him clean up." Rosie laughed, walking to the kitchen. "I can be nice sometimes."
I shook my head. "You can be mean to him."
"Oh he loves it." She laughed. "And me."
That was true, he adored Rosie, you just had to look at him to know. "I know." I said opening the dishwasher.
"Don't say it like it that Peyton. If I'm not mistaken you have your own man who is willing to fall all over himself for you."
I smiled, that was true, Matt and I definitely were happy.
"Now." Rosie said, putting her hands on her hips. "Let's get to the real reason why I volunteered to clean up."
"What?" I asked.
"You. You Peyton, you're the reason."
"Me. Why?" I was confused.
"Why, are you serious, put it this way, I'll be by to pick you up at about ten tomorrow." She told me.
"What?" I didn't remember making plans.
"Peyton are you thick?" She asked, looking at me. "You need to go to the doctors."
"No I don't." I told her. "I'm fine now." And I was fine now.
"Peyton." She said grabbing my hands. "Look honey, I'm not sure how to say this so I'll just say it." She took a deep breath. "I'm pretty sure you're pregnant."
I looked at her. "What are you talking about?"
"Peyton, you're pregnant."
Fuck.
