Lucas went home and still could not believe what Nathan had said. Brooke is getting married. Who was she marrying? Had she really been in New York long enough to meet someone? Let alone marry someone? Lucas thought about the day he let Brooke Davis walk out of his life…

"Lucas, this internship is really important to me, why can't you see that."

"I guess I thought I was more important to you then some stupid internship."

"You are, but when do I get to start living my dream? Here we are still in Tree Hill going to college together; all the good fashion design programs are in New York… I should be in New York."

"Well maybe you should just go then… I obviously can't stop you."

"Luke, why would you want to stop me from following my dreams? I stayed here and let you follow yours. You are about to graduate from College, you got a job offer at Tree Hill High like you wanted, when is it my turn?" At that Brooke left…. And he hadn't tried to stop her.

That was only 3 months ago….

"Hales, I missed you" Nathan said as he gave Haley a kiss as she walked thru the door. "I told Luke today about Brooke getting married"

"I missed you to mommy," Keith said in a cute sad voice.

Haley picked up her son and kissed him, before getting the details from Nathan "You did? What did he say? Why did you tell him? It wasn't exactly your place Nathan."

"Gees, so many questions, Hales… He's my brother, am I just supposed to let him find out for himself? He was devastated."

"Well out with it then? What did he say? Did he really seem heartbroken?" Haley had put Keith down in his room, and she and Nathan had just tucked him in.

"Oh…. All he said was oh."

"Well I guess 'oh' isn't really so bad" Haley was now trying to sort her clothes from her suitcase.

"But it wasn't just an 'oh' because then he was like a zombie for 45 minutes. Keith thought he did something wrong. So I hit Luke with the basketball" Nathan said, sounding mighty proud of himself, "And then we called it a day. We're gonna meet up at Karen's tomorrow morning."

"Well Luke made his own bed… If he loved her so much, he should have gone after her. I hope he just doesn't try anything, she's really happy. Besides, Brooke will be here with Chris next week scouting out the perfect wedding location. And since I'm one of the maid's of honor we are going to throw them an engagement party." Haley said kissing Nathan on the cheek before she walked away.

"Well this should be fun…" Nathan had just turned on the basketball game when something occurred to him, "Hales… did you just say Chris Keller is going to be in MY house?" Haley simply smiled and laughed silently to herself from down the hall.

Nathan was still talking to himself when Haley re-entered the room, "That was a long time ago Nathan, I came back to be with you remember? After everything we've been thru I still love when you get a little jealous"

Nathan pulled his wife into an embrace and said "I AM NOT jealous of Chris Keller; he was just such an asshole. Remind me again why Brooke and him are together?"

"It's funny you should say that, Brooke says the same thing about you," Haley knew that statement didn't have one grain of truth but it was still fun to watch her husband squirm.

"Peyton I love you, why isn't that enough?" Jake asked sounding a bit upset with the whole conversation.

"Jake I guess I just wanted to know what you were waiting for? I mean I am practically Jenny's mother already. Why can't we just get married? You know make it official?" Peyton felt like she was pleading a case against a very stubborn judge.

"Speaking of Jenny… how would you like to be her mother for real? I have wanted to ask you if you wanted to adopt her. Nikki has been gone ever since she turned over her rights and Jenny loves you so much… What do ya say?"

"YES!" Peyton screamed… maybe she could wait a little longer for the perfect wedding proposal.

--------------

Brooke woke up the next morning and panicked when she saw the alarm clock. "Oh my God! Chris did you turn off my alarm? I'm going to miss my flight" Brooke jumped out of bed and ran to get some clothes out of her closet.

Chris just rolled over and mumbled... "I guess we aren't supposed to go to Tree Hill today" rolled over "Too bad. Come back to bed."

Brooke was annoyed now "You did this on purpose didn't you, Haley is picking me up... I have plans to look at three different places. I might as well cancel now. Thanks to you. Gees Chris sometimes I think you never want to get married at all" She just walked away, calling for a cab since Chris would be no help. It was bad enough he had told her he wouldn't be able to come out till tomorrow night because he had a meeting with some BIG WIG at his record label.

Meanwhile in Tree Hill...

Haley was just waking up and she heard Nathan from the bathroom, brushing his teeth. "Morning sleepy head... so you're picking up Brooke and Chris today at the airport? I still can't believe I agreed to letting CHRIS KELLER stay in my house."

"Actually I'm only picking up Brooke, Chris isn't going to be able to come out till tomorrow... Some record label thing." Haley said as she walked past Nathan to turn on the shower.

"Oh so Brooke will be here ALL BY HERSELF till tomorrow night?" Nathan said letting a small grin appear on his face.

"Yeah why?"

Nathan hugged Haley, "Oh no reason..." He was thinking Luke might have a perfect opportunity to get back something he lost.

"Ok, I'm going to take a quick shower before I get ready to leave can you make sure Keith is awake. Oh and call Peyton for me… Keith decided he wanted to come with me to pick up Brooke." Haley said as her and Nathan hugged.

He kissed her forehead and said, "Sure, I'll give Peyton a call, that girl is notorious for being early, so hopefully she isn't already here."

"Thanks Nathan, you're a life saver. What would I do if you were still on the roads with the Knicks all the time?" Haley was now getting undressed, reaching for a towel.

"Ummm, well I guess my agent would have to find you a filler." Nathan said while staring at his wife. Haley shot him a dirty look and got in the shower.

Thanks!
