We compute the scattering amplitude in Wilson Chiral Perturbation Theory for two flavors. The lattice spacing effects due to the explicit chiral symmetry breaking are kept through O(a^2), and we consider the regime where the quark mass m is of order a^2 Lambda_^3. Analytic expressions for the scattering lengths in different isospin channels are given. As a result of the O(a^2) terms the scattering lengths do not vanish in the chiral limit. Moreover, additional chiral logarithms proportional to a^2 ln M_pi^2 are present in the one-loop results. These contributions can obscure the continuum chiral logarithms and the determination of low-energy constants from numerical lattice simulations.
