Graduation Day:

"I can't believe we graduated!" Brooke cheered, throwing her arms around Lucas' neck. "Pretty Girl, I'm happy that you're happy. But we need to get to the hospital!" Lucas reminded her. In the middle of Haley's valedictorian speech, she went into labor. Nathan and Haley insisted that their friends stay and finish graduation before meeting them at the hospital.

"Oh yeah! Let me just change my shoes and then we can go!" Brooke shouted, running into Lucas' room to grab her flip flops before running out to the car, meeting Peyton and Jake there. "You ready to go be a godmother B. Davis?" Peyton asked, climbing into the backseat of Lucas' car, Jake following her. After the last time Jake left to find Jenny, he returned two months later with sole custody. Nikki had signed over her parental rights. Peyton could not be happier.

"That's -soon-to-be-Scott to you!" Brooke laughed, jumping in the passenger seat, "And hell yes I am!"

"So when is this wedding supposed to take place?" Jake asked. "Jake, you're a groomsmen, how do you not know when the wedding is?" Brooke asked shocked. "Lucas never told me!" he exclaimed. "And Peyton is the maid of honor! You had to have heard from her!" Brooke laughed. "Yeah, because I listen to everything Peyton says!" Jake joked, earning a punch from Peyton. "You better listen to me buddy!" Peyton warned, "And the wedding is in six weeks! Which gives Hales just enough time to recover from child birth!"


At the hospital:

"I have a son!" Nathan shouted, running into the waiting room where everyone was. When Lucas, Brooke, Peyton, and Jake got to the hospital, they were met by Karen, Deb, Mouth, Skills, Junk, and Fergie.

"Luke, Brooke, Haley wants you guys in there now!" Nathan told them. Lucas and Brooke jumped out of their seats and raced into the room. When they entered the room, they were greeted by Haley sitting up in the bed holding the most gorgeous baby boy they had seen. "Guys, meet James Lucas Scott," Haley introduced, holding him out for Lucas to take him from her arms. "Hales, he's gorgeous!" Brooke complimented, "And I love the name!"

"Well, we thought he needed a strong name. James for my parents, and Lucas, the best uncle he's going to have, as one of the strongest people we know," Haley explained. "Thank you Hales," Lucas whispered, leaning over to kiss her on the forehead.


Later that day:

"I can't believe Nathan and Haley are parents!" Brooke laughed as she lounged back on Lucas. They were laying on the couch in his living room. "I know. But they are going to be amazing parents!" Lucas commented. "No, we are going to be amazing parents!"Brooke said, earning a worried look from Lucas.

"Brooke, are you….?" Lucas started to ask before Brooke started laughing. "God no Luke! I just meant one day we will be amazing parents!" she explained. "You want kids?" he asked. "Yeah. Why?" she questioned. "I don't know. We've never really talked about it before. How many?"

"Two boys and a girl! I think that would be perfect!" she gushed. "Perfect huh? Have you already picked out names?" Lucas asked her. "No. Not yet. I mean, I have one name in mind for a boy. Keith Sawyer Scott," Brooke told him. "Keith? Really Brooke?" Lucas was amazed at her heart.

"Of course. Lucas, Keith was a big part of your life. You loved him, just like everyone else did. I think it would be nice to honor him that way," she explained to him. Lucas didn't even know what to say. He just leaned forward and quickly kissed her lips before hugging her.


Six weeks later:

Karen sat in the room of the church designated for the groom and the groomsmen watching her son fix his tie. Of course she was happy for him. But she couldn't help but feel that she was losing him.

"What do you think Mom?" Lucas asked, turning to face her. "You look very handsome," she whispered, a few tears escaping her eyes. Nathan and Jake both saw this and decided to step out of the room to give them a moment alone. "Ma, what's wrong?" Lucas asked. Karen stood from her seat and gathered her son in a hug.

"I'm just being an emotional mom!" Karen laughed, "But I am very proud of you Lucas. I know Keith would be too!"

"Thank you Mom. Hey, do you think you could go check on Brooke? She's probably going crazy right now!" Lucas joked. "Of course! I'll send the boys back in too." Karen agreed. "Mom? Before you go," Lucas said as Karen reached the door, "I just wanted to say thanks for being okay with this. You could have been against it. But I just want you to know that Brooke means so much to me. I can't imagine marrying anyone else!" Karen smiled and nodded before leaving the room.


"Knock-knock!" Karen said, poking her head into the Bridal Room. "Karen! Thank God!" Haley breathed a sigh of relief seeing Karen in the doorway. "What is it?" she asked, walking into the room and noticing Brooke on the floor in tears.

"Brooke! What happened?" Karen asked frantically, rushing to her side. "I don't think I can do this Karen!" Brooke cried. She was sitting against the wall next to the bathroom, the skirt of her wedding dress balled up around her, mascara running down her cheeks.

"Brooke, honey, you can! Why are you acting like this?" Karen questioned. Brooke turned to look at her, trying to stop her tears, "Karen, I don't know if I'm ready to be a wife!"

"Brooke, I just left Lucas. And you know what he told me? He said he couldn't imagine marrying anyone else! He loves you Brooke. And I know you love him. Anyone can tell by just looking at the two of you. So if you really want to doubt that, then change your clothes and Peyton will gladly drive you home. But if you can calm down for moment and realize your love for Lucas, then we'll go wash your face, redo your makeup and get you ready to walk down that aisle," Karen told her. Brooke looked at her for a second, sniffling, before saying, "I do love him Karen. Will you help me get ready?"

"Of course I will, sweetie. Come on, let's go into the bathroom. Haley, will you calmly explain to everyone that we will be running about ten minutes late?" Karen asked her, guiding Brooke into the bathroom along with Peyton.


Lucas stood at the altar next to Nathan and Jake waiting to see Brooke. The opening chords of Sara Evans' song "No Place Too Far," started, signaling the beginning of the wedding. Lucas watched Haley walk towards him, Peyton following her, in dark red knee length dresses and matching heels. After the reached the altar and took their places, Brooke appeared at the back of the church. Her parents had helped pay for most of the wedding, but were unable to be in town for it. So Brooke decided to ask Whitey to walk her down the aisle. He swelled with pride in his tux, walking Brooke towards Lucas. Out of all the groups of students, this group meant the most to him. When they reached the altar, Whitey kissed Brooke on the cheek and took his seat next to Karen. Brooke took Lucas' hands, letting Peyton grab her bouquet. Looking him in the eyes, she knew she made the right choice to stay. Before she knew it, it was time for the vows. Lucas was first.

He took a deep breath, looked into Brooke's eyes, and began, "I once said 'Remember tonight, for it is the beginning of always.' But I don't think I really knew the meaning of that until today. Because when I look into your eyes, I know that you are my beginning of always. You are my belief in love. My decision to rise above the pain of the past. I know now that love will always be the guiding force in our lives because our love only grows with each passing day. And I know that in fifty years from now, I will look into your eyes and promise to love and care for you with as much passion as today. This I vow to you today, and all the days of our lives." By the third line of his vows, tears were already escaping Brooke's eyes. She took a second to wipe her tears before beginning her vows.

"Earlier this year, we all heard Haley tell Nathan that she found a bravery in herself with him. And Lucas, the same goes for you and me. Before I met you, I admit I made my fair share of mistakes. But because of you, and the bravery I found with you, I can stand here and tell you that there is no one else in this world for me. You are my partner, my confidant, my best friend, my soul mate, and now my husband. I promise to love you in good times and in bad, when life seems easy and when it seems hard, when our love is simple, and when it is an effort. I promise to cherish you, and to always hold you in the highest regard. These things I vow to you today, and all the days of our lives." She was surprised to see a tear or two roll down Lucas' face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Scott! You may now kiss your bride!" the pastor said. Everyone started cheering as Brooke wrapped her arms around Lucas' neck and joined him at the lips.

"That was the best kiss ever Husband!" Brooke laughed as they pulled apart. They then began walking back down the aisle hand in hand, Peyton and Nathan following them, with Haley and Jake behind them. They all gathered together in the Bridal Room for a moment before heading to the reception.

"I'm married!" Brooke shouted, hugging Peyton and Haley tightly. "I'm so happy for you Brookie!" Haley said, hugging her once more. Nathan, Jake, and Lucas stood off to the side watching the girls.

"Congratulations big brother! I'm happy for you!" Nathan told Lucas, giving him the man hug. "Me too Luke! You got a great girl!" Jake cheered, giving Lucas the man hug also. "Thanks guys! I did get a pretty good girl didn't I? She's perfect!" Lucas smiled, watching Haley and Peyton gush over Brooke.
