Alright guys, I know I said I would have more to this story… the only problem is that I've lost inspiration for this story. I've tried to work on it, while I was finishing up I got the boy… with no luck. And looking back, I believe that it was in a good place to do a small time jump, and wrap it up a bit.

So therefore, I present to you the epilogue to this wonderful story. I got so wrapped up in trying to make it so perfect and giving you all the answers that you deserved that I wrote too much. SO it will be in two parts. So here's the first, and I will post the second (and final) part in a few days.

Again, I loved this universe. And I loved this concept… so I'm so sad to have to say goodbye to it, but I can't continue it on and drag you on forever if I have no inspiration… so having said that, if any time in the future I have an idea, I will more than likely write a few one shots in this universe and post them. Such as a lot of other writers have done, except it would be in the same world as this.

Either way, for now, this is the end to this story. I thank you all for the support and kind words on this story. I wasn't sure how well anyone would take to it due to the crossover, but you all welcomed it with open arms and that means so much to me.

Enjoy PD, I'm watching now ;)


FOUR YEARS LATER

"I'm coming, CHILL." Jay groans, heading throughout the house, and to the front door. He manages to maneuver past all the shoes and toys, before yanking open the front door. His grimace is replaced with a gigantic smile, as he laughs genuinely. "Ah man, what the hell are you doing here?"

"Are you kidding?" Adam asks, hugging his friend quickly. "Dude you invited us!" Adam chuckles stepping inside, looking around the beach house, as Jay moves to greet Kevin and Kim who were standing behind him.

"Well I wanted you guys here, but I didn't think Voight would let his entire team off." Jay laughs, hugging Kim before she follows her fiancé and friend inside the house.

"Well you didn't think we'd miss your big day, huh Halstead?" Hank asks, stepping around the corner, catching Jay completely off guard. He had been parking the car, since he did not in the least trust Ruzek to drive.

Jay's smile grew as he saw his former boss, the man who had helped him through so much and meant a great deal to him, step inside the door. "Wow, I really didn't expect to see you. How will Chicago survive without you?"

"It won't. I'll be headed back to a mess and I'll have to clean it up as usual." Hank chuckles, glancing around the house. "Where's my girl?"

"BRIA!" Jay shouts, resting his hand on the staircase and yelling up to his daughter.

"WHAT?" She yells back, but doesn't surface. Jay rolls his eyes. His little girl wasn't such a little girl anymore. She was 9, going on 10, and already had the mood of a teenager. He dreaded the day she actually became one, because he knew that he and Brooke were in for pure hell.

"What did I say about that?" He yells back after her, causing everyone to laugh. He gives them all a look. "Get down here!"

The five of them hear a groan and footsteps approaching. Bria appears at the top of the staircase, just about to argue with her father, when her face lights up. She flies down the stairs and into Hank's arms. "Grandpa!"

"There's my favorite girl!" Hank mutters, squeezing the young girl tight and placing a kiss to the crown of her hair. "God I've missed you so much. Look how much you've grown." You could hear the sentiment in his voice, and Jay felt terrible. It wasn't often that Hank showed that side of him, but since the day he had met Bria, when she was only a few hours old, he had a soft spot for the little girl.

Jay and Brooke had made sure to return to Chicago with Bria many times over the last four years, but it was still a hard adjustment for both Bria and Hank. She was all Hank had left after his son Justin had died. His wife Olive had moved his only grandson hundreds of miles away and he never saw him.

"Uh what about us Little Halstead?" Adam asks, extending his arms and shooting his niece a look. This in turn, causes Bria to roll her eyes before laughing.

"Sorry Uncle Adam," She says moving to hug him. He smiles and wraps his arms around the little girl. "And you know I hate when you call me that."

"That's why he keeps doing it," Kim informs her, while hugging Bria tightly. Bria giggles.

"So where's the wife to be?" Kevin asks, following Jay and sitting down. He sits in the chair off to the side while Adam and Kim take the small love seat. Bria sits on the couch in between her dad and her grandpa.

"She's working at her shop. Trying to get everything ready to take a couple days off after the wedding."

"She doesn't have someone to take care of it for her?" Kim asks. "That must be a lot of work."

"No she does." Jay smiles. "Nadia is the store manager and she runs the day to day stuff. And she's gonna watch the store and the kids while we're gone, but Brooke's just trying to make sure she doesn't get left with a whole work load."

"How's she doing? I haven't heard from her in while." Kim asks, once more. She and Nadia were never best friends when Nadia was still in Chicago, but being the only girls Voight trusted to work in his unit, they had become somewhat of friends. Of course living so far apart, the two didn't get to talk as much as they liked.

"She's doing well. She stays busy but she loves it here." Jay says, smiling thinking of what a better life the girl he considered a little sister was living here. She had lived with him and Brooke for about a year after she followed them to Tree Hill. Her room was upstairs across from Bria's and the young girl had been ecstatic. She had taken her time, going to work for Brooke and getting herself settled before she had found a house of her own. She worked hard, and she was able to buy it all the while falling crazy in love with her boyfriend Chase. The two were now living together and Jay knew it was only a matter of time.

"What about you man?" Adam asks. "What's your job like?" He asks, referring to the detective job Jay had landed when he first moved to town.

"It's different," Jay chuckles. "Not as busy or crazy, but I like it. It allows me to be home with my girl and my kids, so that's all that matters."

"It sounds like you've really made a good life for you, Halstead." Hank smiles, clapping him on the shoulder. He missed him, and he really missed him on his team, but he was genuinely happy for Jay. He had finally got the life he deserved after Allie had been so suddenly ripped from him.

"Daddyyy" The group whips around to face the kitchen, where a little girl with Jay's curly hair – the color of Brooke's - was making her way into the living room. The small girl was rubbing her eyes, having just woken up from her nap.

"Hey Elizabeth," Jay smiles, reaching over and pulling his three year old daughter into his lap. "You have a good nap?" He asks, pushing the curls out of her face.

The little girl nods, tiredly before glancing around the room with wide eyes. She didn't know anyone. The first couple times Jay and Brooke had traveled to Chicago with Elizabeth, and her twin brother Ethan, they were still tiny babies so they didn't remember it. The last time Jay had taken Bria to Chicago to visit, the twins were sick so Brooke stayed home with them.

"She's gotten big," Adam smiles, glancing to his friend. Jay smiles before leaning down and kissing his youngest daughter's head.

"They all have," Jay mutters glancing from Elizabeth to Bria, and thinking of Ethan. "It's unreal how fast they grow man."

"That it is," Hank says giving Bria yet another squeeze. She smiles, leaning back into her grandpa's embrace.


"Hey baby, we're home." Brooke says walking through the front door. She sits her bag down on the small table as her three year old son flies past her and further into the house. She laughs, and shuts the door behind her before headed toward where her fiancé sat at the counter. His face was buried in a file, and his computer, as he worked.

Ethan had now joined Elizabeth where she sat at the coffee table coloring, and was playing with his toy dinosaurs. Bria was nowhere in sight, so she assumed she was upstairs.

"Baby," Brooke says once more, placing her hand on Jay's shoulder. She leans over and kisses his cheek, finally earning his attention.

"Hey you," He says tearing his eyes away from the file he had been studying. He offers her a smile as his hand wraps around her waist, and pulls her into him. "Get everything squared away?"

"Sure did." She says smiling down at him. She runs her hand through his thick head of hair before placing it on his shoulder once more. "We didn't get to a few things but it's nothing Nadia can't handle. What about you? Are you about ready?" She asks, referring to his load of work he was going to be leaving behind. Their wedding was two days away, and they were leaving that night for a weeklong honeymoon.

"Just about – give me a few more hours and I'll be set."

"You don't have a few more hours, Jay. The rehearsal dinner is in three hours."

"I know," He assures her. He sits back, showing her he was already dressed in the black pants and the light blue button up shirt she had planned for him to wear tonight, so that he was matching her light blue strapless dress. "Elizabeth is ready, Bria is upstairs getting ready. I'll get Ethan dressed, and then finish this before we leave. You just worry about taking your time and doing what you need to do to get ready, okay?"

"You're amazing."

"Duh," He smirks, causing her to laugh. She leans down, kissing him before starting toward their bedroom.

"Wait, your friends. Did they get in?" She asks, turning around to face her soon to be husband who was standing in their twin's bedroom door. Ethan had already set down his toys and was walking into the bedroom, per his father's request so he could dress him for their night. Elizabeth still sat quietly at the table, drawing.

Jay nods, smiling. He had spent the better part of the morning visiting with everybody before they headed to the hotel to get ready. "They did, and they're back at their hotel. Nadia is going to meet them and show them the way to the beach."

Brooke nods, and smiles before turning and heading into the bedroom to take a nice hot bath.

"Alright buddy," Jay says walking into the bedroom to find Ethan sitting on his bed, playing with more of his toys. "Time to get ready,"

"No daddy," the little boys argues, "I play."

Jay chuckles. "You can play after we get dressed okay?" Jay reasons, sitting down on Elizabeth's toddler bed across from him.

Ethan glances from his toys to his father before sighing. He was only three years old, but he had just as much attitude, if not more thanks to his mother, that Bria had at his age. It was tiring. "Okay."

"Okay." Jay chuckles once more, reaching over and pulling his son toward him. Despite the groan he got in return, he pulls the t shirt over his little head and reaches over for the dress shirt that Brooke had chosen for him.


"Dude, I have to say I never thought I would see the day you would be getting married on a beach." Adam chuckles, walking up to his friend. He claps him on the shoulder as Jay laughs as well.

"Tell me about it," Jay says, shaking his head. "But hey, whatever makes her happy, right?"

Adam follows Jay's line of vision, to Brooke. Who was standing off further down the beach talking to the minister.

She looked amazing in her light blue dress, falling just below the knee. Her dark curly hair blew in the wind, and she was glowing. The longer Jay watched her, the more his smile grew. And Adam's. It had been a while since he had seen his friend so happy, and even though he enjoyed giving him crap about it, he was happy for him.

"She's so calm," Haley says walking up to Jay and Adam. "It's so not like her. Especially today of all days," Jay laughs, nodding his head in agreement. "I'm Haley – Brooke's best friend."

"Adam" He says holding out his hand to shake hers. "Jay's best friend."

"Sometimes," Jay corrects Adam, earning a dirty look from his friend and a laugh from Haley.

"THERE YOU GUYS ARE!" Brooke exclaims, in true over dramatic Brooke fashion. She walks over to the group. "We have got to get started before we lose the light!" She exclaims, referring to the orange sun, which would be setting within the hour.

"Brooke, we've all been right here all along." Haley says offering her best friend a smile. Adam chuckles stopping only when Brooke offers him a dirty look. She then offers Haley the same fate.

"Are you trying to stress me out?"

"Babe," Jay says stepping forward, wrapping his arm around her and pulling her into him. "We have plenty of time. We've ran through it twice and you wanted one more time. We have plenty of time til the sun goes down and before our dinner starts."

Brooke nods and takes a few calming deep breaths, per the request of Jay as he holds her closely. "I'm sorry, I'm a mess. I just want this to be perfect and we don't have much time."

"I know," He smiles, reaching down to push a curl out of her face. Due to the strong wind, it blows right back in her face and they both laugh. "You have every right to be a little high strung right now, but everything is going to perfect. I just wish you wouldn't worry so much."

"Jay, you should know by now I never fully calm down."

Jay laughs. "Oh that I know, Brooke Davis. But it's one of the many qualities I love most about you." He says leaning down to kiss her.

By the time the two pull away from the kiss, Brooke was now calm and had forgotten all about her many worries. She smiles up at the man she was going to marry in just a few days and just takes in his every little feature. She had no idea how she had landed such an amazing man. Lord knows she had her fair share of bad relationships, but this one… she couldn't imagine her life without him by her side, or their amazing children.

"What are you looking at, you goof?" He asks, once he realizes that she was studying him.

"Oh nothing." She assures him. He doesn't quite bye it, but he doesn't push her. "Come on, let's get this started." She says intertwining her fingers with his, and pulling him toward where their set up, and the minister were waiting on them. "Where's Peyton?" She asks, glancing around, looking for her best friend and maid of honor.

"Right here!" Peyton exclaims, making her way toward them with Elizabeth on her hip. "Somebody had to potty, but all is well." She says sitting Elizabeth down on the ground next to Nadia, where Ethan sat.

"Alright, let's go." Brooke says making her way to the back with Peyton and Haley, who was serving as her bridesmaid.

"Wait for me!" A very eager Bria shouts, running after them. She was serving as Brooke's other bridesmaid. She was fastly approaching her teenage years, and she without a doubt already had the attitude down, but she was so over the moon when Brooke asked her to stand with her during the wedding. Brooke had been around for so long, while she knew the story of how her birth mother died, Brooke was the only mom she knew. She was crazy about her, and she was so glad that after this wedding, she would finally legally be her mother. Brooke had filed for adoption the week prior to make it official.

"I couldn't forget my favorite girl," Brooke stops halfway up the aisle, as Haley and Peyton continue to the back. She turns and watches as her daughter ran to her. She slips her arm around her shoulders and hugs her as they make their way to join the others. "God, I love you baby."

"I love you too mom," Bria says hugging her tightly before moving to stand in her spot. Brooke stops, watching her, and feels her heart swell with pride. Though Bria had been calling her mom for quite some time, it still melted her heart each time.

Knowing full well what she was thinking, Haley meets eyes with Brooke. She offers her a warm smile and a wink before turning to Bria and whispering something in her ear.

"Are you ready or not?" Jay yells after them, from where he stands at the 'alter' with Adam who was his best man, and Kevin and Nathan who were his groomsmen.

"Oh hold on, you'll get to marry me in a minute!" Brooke yells back, earning a laugh from everyone. She turns around making sure once more that everyone was in order, before giving Lucas the okay to start the music.
