AN-This chapter takes place 10 months after the last chapter
''Brooke wake up.'' Peyton said as she shook Brooke.
''Go away Peyton.'' Brooke said swatting Peyton's hands away.
''It's time to get up. You still have hair and makeup to do.'' Peyton said. ''Or do you not want to get married anymore.'' Peyton asked her.
''I do but I can be late. It's tradition for the bride to be late. Who has Alexia.'' Brooke asked as she got up.
''Deb has her along with Jenny and Lily.'' Peyton said. ''Are we getting hair and makeup done in the back room at the church.'' Peyton asked as she sat down on Brooke's bed while Brooke went to get changed. ''Have I ever told you that I hate you. You have live in babysitters and this gorgeous bedroom.'' Peyton said.
''Yeah you have said that everytime you are here. Get over it. It was 10 months ago.'' Brooke said. ''Yeah so we may leave now.'' Brooke said. ''I can't believe it has been 10 months already.'' Brooke said as the two of them walked down the stairs. ''Morning everyone. Where's my baby girl.'' Brooke said when they got into the kitchen where Deb, Lily and Jenny were sitting finishing their breakfast.
''She's in her bassinet sleeping. She has been fed, changed and burped.'' Deb said. ''Are you ready to become a Scott there is no going back now.'' Deb said joking with her.
''Deb are trying to tell me not to marry your son.'' Brooke asked pretending to be shocked.
''Let's go or Lucas will think you aren't coming.'' Deb said as they all got ready to leave the house. Brooke Lifted Alexia from her bassinet. Once everyone was strapped in they headed for the church.
30 minutes later and all the girls had their hair and makeup done. Brooke came out from behind a small curtain in her dress. ''Brooke you look gorgeous.'' Peyton said.
''Yeah Aunt Brooke you look like a princess.'' Jenny told her
There was a knock at the door. ''There is a delivery for the bride.'' Dan said as he stood beside Christopher who was holding a bunch of pink roses.
''Go on in. I'm going to go see Luke.'' Deb said.
''Hi momma. Daddy said these are for you.'' Christopher said holding the flowers out for Brooke.
''Thank you for the flowers baby.'' Brooke said taking the flowers from him and handing them to Peyton. ''Don't you look handsome in your suit.'' Brooke said when she saw her 6 year old son.
''Brooke I'm going to take the girls and see if they are ready for us yet.'' Peyton said as she took Lily and Jenny and left the room.
Brooke nodded her head. ''I know you asked me to walk you down the aisle because your father wasn't coming but what if I was to tell you that your dad didn't know you were getting married because he never received an invite.'' Dan said.
''He did I sent him one.'' Brooke said. ''So why wouldn't he have gotten it.'' Brooke asked.
''Because Victoria never told me. Your mom and I are divorced. We have been for 4 years.'' Richard said.
''How did you get the message then.'' Brooke asked him.
'Lucas and Dan both got in touch with me and told me about the wedding.'' Richard said. ''I'm sorry I wasn't supportive when you were pregnant and I'm really sorry for not getting in touch with you when your mom and I divorced.'' Richard told her.
''I would like for you to stay but I already asked Dan to walk me down the aisle.'' Brooke said.
''Brooke if you want your dad to walk you down the aisle I don't mind. I'm still one of Luke's groomsmen.'' Dan said.
''Since Dan is okay with me changing my mind then would you walk me down the aisle.'' Brooke asked Richard.
''I would love to.'' Richard said.
''Dan you are needed up front then if Richard is going to walk Brooke down the aisle.'' Deb said Dan left the room to meet Nathan and Jake at the altar with Lucas. Deb lifted Alexia as Brooke, Richard and Christopher step out of the room ready to walk down the aisle.
Deb went first with Alexia in her arms and Dalton holding her hand. Then Lily and Ryan went followed by Christopher and Jenny. Then the tune to here comes the bride began and Brooke and Richard started to walk down the aisle when everyone stood. Lucas watched and smiled from his place at the altar beside Nathan. Once Brooke reached Lucas, Richard handed her over to him, they both turned to face the priest. ''Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to join Lucas and Brooke in matrimony, which is commended to be honourable among all men; and therefore is not by any to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and solemnly. Into this holy estate these two persons present now come to be joined.'' Father Murray said as he began the ceremony. '' Therefore if any man can show any just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace.'' He continued.
Katie went up to do the opening reading.
Lord, behold our family here assembled.
We thank you for this place in which we dwell,
for the love that unites us,
for the peace accorded us this day,
for the hope with which we expect the morrow,
for the health, the work, the food,
and the bright skies that make our lives delightful;
for our friends in all parts of the earth.
Amen
''Now if Lucas would like to say his vows.'' Father Murray said.
'' Brooke, today I take you for my wife. Now we will feel no rain, for each of us will be shelter for the other. Now there will be no loneliness, for each of us will be companion to the other. There is only one life before us, and our seasons will be good and long. I promise to love, honor, and cherish you, no matter what lies before us, for as long as we both shall live.'' Lucas said.
''Lucas, today I take you for my husband. Now we will feel no rain, for each of us will be shelter for the other. Now there will be no loneliness, for each of us will be companion to the other. There is only one life before us, and our seasons will be good and long. I promise to love, honor, and cherish you, no matter what lies before us, for as long as we both shall live.'' Brooke said.
Dan went up to do the second reading.
The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.
But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips
''Now it is time for the exchange of the rings.'' Father Murray said.
Christopher came forward with the rings. Lucas picked up the ring for Brooke. ''I Lucas give you Brooke this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you.'' Lucas said placing the ring on Brooke's finger.
Christopher came forward again and this time Brooke picked the ring up. ''I Brooke give you Lucas this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you.'' Brooke said placing the ring on Lucas' finger.
Brooke and Lucas lit the unity candle while the song amazing grace plays in the background.
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, Through many dangers, toils and snares, The Lord has promised good to me, Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, The world shall soon dissolve like snow, When we've been there ten thousand years,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The sun refuse to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.
''By the power vested in me by the State of North Carolina, I now pronounce you husband and wife.'' Father Murray said. ''You may now kiss the bride.'' Father Murray concluded. Brooke and Lucas kissed. ''I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Scott.'' Lucas and Brooke walked down the alter hand in hand while the others stood. Nathan and Peyton followed behind, followed by Katie and Jake, Samantha and Dan, Ryan and Lily and Christopher and Jenny.
''Could everyone please stand and help in welcoming the new Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Scott.'' The DJ said as Brooke and Lucas entered the reception area.
Everyone stood as Brooke and Lucas walked to their seat at the head table with the wedding party. Dan stood and tapped the glass of champagne to get everyone's attention. ''I'm going to do a short speech before I hand it over to the best man.'' Dan said. ''I would like to welcome Brooke into the family. You have been like a daughter to us from the moment you and Lucas began dating 9 years ago. So please stand and help me in wishing Lucas and Brooke many years of happiness.'' Dan said rising his champagne glass.
Nathan took the mic from Dan. ''Welcome Brooke to the family. Last night Lucas told me he was looking forward to the wedding night as he saw Brooke's lingerie and her outfit from Victoria Secrets. '' Nathan said as everyone laughed and Brooke slapped Lucas' arm. ''All the best to Brooke and Lucas.'' He added before sitting back down.
''On behalf of Brooke and myself we would like to thank you for coming and we hope you enjoy yourselves. Dinner will now be served.'' Lucas said.
The dinner arrived of a 3 course meal, for starters the adults had a prawn cocktail and the children had vegetable soup. For the main course the adults had Roasted Chicken Breast with fresh Rosemary & white wine butter sauce with Roasted Garlic Mashed Yukon Gold Potato & Cabernet Essence. The children had chicken nuggets and fries. For desert they all had a choice of chocolate fudge cake and strawberry cheese cake with fresh cream. ''Could I have the bride and groom on the dance floor for their first dance of man and wife.'' The DJ said after the dinner was over.
From this moment life has begun From this moment I have been blessed
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
''I love you Luke.'' Brooke said giving her new husband a kiss.
''I love you too Brooke.'' Lucas said after they ended the kiss. I give my hand to you with all my heart From this moment as long as I live You're the reason I believe in love From this moment as long as I live
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on
''Mom, may I have this dance.'' Lucas asked Brooke once Lucas and Brooke left the dance floor.
''I would love too.'' Deb answered.

''You do know that you will always be my son. I love you. Your dad and I are proud of you and what you have achieved. I know you were upset when you lost your chance at the NBA but no matter what you do, remember that I will always love you.'' Deb said.
''I love you too mom.'' Lucas said. ''Thank you for coming into dad and I life. You're a better mom than Karen could ever have possibly been.'' Lucas said. ''I thought when Karen turned up 10 years ago, that would be it, you would want Karen to take over as my mom.'' Lucas told her.
''I would never stop loving you, you are my son weather I gave birth to you or not. I love you the same as I love Nathan, Katie, Sam, Lily and Ryan.'' Deb said placing a kiss on Lucas' cheek.

''Thanks mom.'' Lucas said as they walked off the dance floor.
''Thank you for asking me for the dance.'' Deb said.
''Could I have the Bride and her father come to the dance floor for the father daughter dance.'' The DJ said.
Just once upon a yesterday
I held you in my arms
You grew into a little girl
with lovely childhood charms
Now it seems I only turned around
And I see you by his side
Oh, I can't believe my eyes today
My Daughter is a Bride
I guess somehow I always knew
This day would soon be here
Still I wonder as I look at you
What became of all the years
And no words could ever quite express
The way I feel inside
Oh, I can't believe my eyes today
My Daughter is a Bride
''I'm sorry I wasn't around much for you when you were growing up. I shouldn't have travelled so much, when you got pregnant at 18, I should have stood up to Victoria when she told you to get an abortion or leave the house. I'm sorry and I would like to get to know my grandchildren.'' Richard said. ''You grew up to be a wonderful and beautiful young woman, you are going to make a wonderful wife.'' Richard added.
''I would love you to meet your grandchildren and I forgive you for not being there for me when I was growing up and for standing by Victoria. But I want you to know that if you ever make a promise to any of my kids and break it, I will stop you from seeing them, because I won't have them losing faith in any promises made to them by anyone.'' Brooke said.
''I won't, I want to be a good grandfather. I was a bad father and I want to make it up to you and your kids.'' Richard said.
All the laughter and the teardrops
The sunshine and the rain
I would relive every moment, Dear
If I could bring them all back again
But now, My Love, the time has come
To send you on your way
So I wish you every happiness
And the blessings of this day
And I hope the love I've given you
Will forever be your guide
Oh, I can't believe my eyes today
My daughter - Oh, I can't believe my eyes
My Daughter - Oh, my angel and my pride
My Daughter is a Bride
''Thank you for dancing with me.'' Brooke said. ''Come with me and you can meet Christopher and Dalton. Alexia is sleeping in her stroller by the table we sat at for the meal.'' Brooke said. ''Christopher come here sweetie.'' Brooke called once they got off the dance floor.
''What momma.'' Christopher asked.
Brooke picked him up. ''This is your grandpa Richard.'' Brooke told him.
''Hello, Christopher.'' Richard said.
''Hi, are you momma's daddy, cause Grandpa Dan is daddy's daddy.'' Christopher asked.
''I am, you're very smart.'' Richard said.
''And this little guy is Dalton.'' Brooke said as he put Christopher down and Lifted Dalton.
''Hello, little man.'' Richard said.
''Hi.'' Dalton said.
A few hours later and the wedding party was coming to an end Brooke and Lucas shared on more dance together.
Let me be your hero Would you dance, if I asked you to dance? Would you tremble, if I touched your lips? I can be your hero, baby Would you swear, that you'll always be mine? I can be your hero, baby Oh, I just wanna hold you I can be your hero, baby I can be your hero, I can kiss away the pain
Would you run, and never look back?
Would you cry, if you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul, tonight?
Would you laugh? Oh please tell me this
Now would you die, for the one you love?
Hold me in your arms, tonight
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
Or would you lie? Would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?
I don't care you're here, tonight
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
I just wanna hold you, oh yeah
Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?
Well I don't care you're here, tonight
I can kiss away the pain, oh yeah
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
(I can be your hero, baby)
And I will stand by you, forever
You can take my breath away
You can take my breath away
An' I can be your hero
''I love you. Thank you for the best day.'' Brooke said.
''Anything for you Brooke. You and the kids are my life. Now let's get up to bed and you can show me that outfit again only this time with you wearing it.'' Lucas said with a cheeky grin.
