lucas: “the doctor didn’t say something could happen. he said there was a very good chance. peyton, he said we could lose the baby anyway. we don’t have to make this decision now. we can take a couple days before we go back in.”
peyton: “for an abortion.”
lucas: “that’s not what the doctor called it.”
peyton: “that’s what it is.”
lucas: “look, nobody is..”
peyton: “that’s what it is. okay, if you would like to talk about it, then call it what it is.”
lucas: “how could this happen in a month?”
peyton: “i had some pains earlier in the pregnancy.”
lucas: “why didn’t you tell me that?”
peyton: “cause i didn’t want you to worry, and they said it was nothing.”
lucas: “this isn’t nothing.”
peyton: “maybe it is.”
lucas: “what does that mean?”
peyton: “it means whatever happens, happens”
lucas: “that is really selfish, you know that.”
peyton: “excuse me?”
lucas: “okay, fine. you want me to be the bad guy? fine, we’ll call it what you want. but if continuing this pregnancy means i lose you, we end it.”
peyton: “its not an it. luke, this is our baby. alright. you saw its heartbeat, you saw its little tiny fingers, and its toes.”
lucas: “stop it. stop it.”
peyton: “no, i’m not gonna stop it. i want you to think about it, okay.”
lucas: “then we’ll try again. okay, we can adopt. if your parents never would’ve adopted, we never would’ve met.”
peyton: “i know, i know honey and i love you for that. but this little life inside of me.. its you, and its me. i want him to have your goofy squint, and i want her to have my chickedy legs.”
lucas: “i don’t need this kid to look like me. i don’t care about that. i care about this child growing up without a mother. look what it did to you.”
peyton: “you are really trying to guilt me into this.”
lucas: “yes i am. its exactly what i’m gonna do if in the end, it keeps you alive.”
peyton: “you are such a dick.”
lucas: “then fine, i’m a dick.”
