The car pulled up to the entrance of the church, Haley turned around and squeezed Brooke's arm in reassurance while Rachel got out of the car to just make sure that everything was ready before the three of them entered those dark wooden double doors.

"Haley, I'm nervous," Brooke said softly in her raspy voice. Haley smiled at her best friend; there was no reason for Brooke to be nervous, everything was going to be amazing. Today was a day that everyone, most importantly Brooke and Lucas, would remember for the rest of their lives. Everyone knew that, or hoped, that this day would come, well apart from the three people that were involved in the infamous and certainly unforgettable love triangle. But Peyton was out of the picture now, it was all about Brooke and Lucas and it always will be.

"Don't be nervous Tigger, today is going to be by far one of the greatest days ever," Haley said with the most genuine, heartfelt smiles ever, and with that Brooke relaxed instantly. Rachel exited the church and nodded her head signalling to the girls that they can go in now. Brooke breathed a heavy, nervous and excited filled sigh as Haley helped Brooke out of the car and Rachel thanked the driver. Rachel hugged Brooke softly and whispered into her ear, "Let's rock this bitch," before winking and walking up the steps towards the church.

Brooke laughed shakily as she held Haley's hand in her own and walked up the steps, with each step remembering things that Lucas had said to her all over the years. "Pretty girl," "I keep those stuff as a reminder of how bad I hurt you and that if I got another chance I would never let you go," "you're my world Brooke," "I love you…"

Swiftly the doors of the church opened and Lucas waited eagerly for Brooke to walk down the aisle. The soft chords of the church organ played sweetly as both Haley and Rachel walked down the aisle, both holding a bouquet of white roses and blue pansies.

As the music continued playing and all the guests were standing, Lucas' breath hitched in his throat as Brooke started to walk down the aisle with her signature dimpled smile on full show. Nathan leaned closer to Lucas and whispered, "Wow, Brooke looks gorgeous." Lucas smiled as he responded, "she always does," as pictures and memories flashed in his mind as Brooke continued to walk down the long, petal covered, aisle. "I get to do something that you like to do, and then you get to do something I like to do." "I love you Luke." "And that's how I spent my summer, wanting you," "Broody…"

"Hey," Brooke whispered to Lucas when she finally reached the aisle and stood next to Lucas, holding his hand gently.

"Hey Pretty Girl," Lucas replied and smiled brighter as Brooke's dimples appeared again, to which he kissed the right on tenderly.

While the vicar was speaking, Brooke and Lucas were staring at each other lovingly and intently. Everyone was listening to the vicar as well as looking at the pair who stood in front of them. It was like a fairy-tale ending although this fairy-tale consisted of numerous amounts of heartbreaks, tears, pain, but most importantly, an indescribable and undying love that no one has ever experienced, apart from the couple in front.

The joy filled cries of Karen echoed through the church, it was clear that Karen had waited for this moment to come and it was happening right now. Brooke was like a daughter to her; she had always rooted for 'Brucas', well admittedly, not at first, but when she saw how crazy Brooke was for her son all those years ago, she fell in love with the love and care that Brooke held for Lucas specially and knew that this was going to happen eventually.

"Lucas, would you like to say your vows to Brooke?" The vicar's voice broke everyone from their deep thoughts. Lucas couched to clear his throat and rubbed the back of his neck nervously, but all the nerves disappeared as he heard the cutest giggle form Brooke. "Yeah," Lucas said shakily and began.

"Brooke if all of my love for you were to be put down on paper for you to read, I think that you'd probably die before you even got halfway," everyone chuckled at the simple joke that Lucas said which made him relax as he continued. "Seriously though Brooke, many years ago I told you that I was the guy for you, but what I didn't say was that you were and are the girl for me. When we first met, we were complete opposites. I was the thinker and tortured, and you were the bubbly, vivacious girl with the most amazing heart; Broody and Cheery." He paused for a moment to see Brooke smiling warmly at him and he continued.

"Nobody understood our relationship at first, but we didn't care, actually if I remember correctly, when I first told Haley about us she said, 'what, Brooke Davis the captain of the cheer sluts?!' Anyway, then things got bad, I hurt you but you forgave me, so we tried again, and again I hurt you. Hurting you was the biggest mistake of my life and I will never forgive myself for that," Lucas stopped as he began to get angry with himself for hurting Brooke so bad. Brooke tentatively placed her left hand on his cheek and Lucas turned his head and kissed her palm softly before continuing.

"Someone very beautiful and amazing said to me that people who are meant for each other with always find their way in the end, and at that time I thought that you meant Keith and my mom, but what you really mean was us, and now," he paused to place one hand softly on Brooke's stomach on baby Dylan, and the other on Brooke's cheek, wiping his thumb over the stray happy tear that fell from her eye, "we have our ending. This, us, us three; this is our ending and I couldn't wish for anything else."

Rachel was in floods of tears as Lucas finished his vows, as was Haley and Karen, and the former Tree Hill Ravens. Rachel had seen Brooke and Lucas' relationship at its best and worst times in High School, heck she caused some of the drama, but this by far was the greatest love shown by one person to another, it was Brucas.

"Brooke, would you like to say your vows to Lucas now?" The vicar said, getting a nod from Brooke as she wiped another stray tear from her face as she began.

"Well, it's clear that mine isn't going to be as good as that, but it's worth a shot right? Luke, Broody, when I first saw you, to me you were just another guy that I would hook up with and then forget about after, but then I spoke to you, and I felt a feeling inside of me that I'd never felt before; it was love. Some people say that love at first sight doesn't exist, but to me it did. Lucas, the first time I saw you I fell in love with you. I was so happy when we first got together but it ended badly, I cried for days, but then we got a second chance at love and it was everything," Brooke laughed as she continued.

"The morning after we got back together and stayed up all night to just talk, when you left, I did this ridiculous happy dance on my bed because I loved, and still do, love you so much. Now after all of our Brucas rollercoaster, there should really be one of those… Anyway! After all of that we are finally here, together, forever, I dreamed about this day since I was sixteen when we got together the first time, and now I'm living it and I'm so completely and utterly in love with you Lucas Scott and I will never stop."

Haley and Rachel smiled, both finally recovered by their teary breakdown. Karen was in still in tears, as Nathan handed Lucas Brooke's wedding band, to which Lucas slipped gently on her finger a goofy yet loving smile plastered on his face. The same happened with Brooke, as Haley handed her Lucas' wedding band and Brooke too slipped the band on Lucas' finger happy tears escaping her eyes as she looked at the love of her life.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife, Lucas you may kiss your bride," the vicar said softly as Lucas lifted Brooke's face up gently with his fingers under her chin and kissed her lovingly and passionately.

"I love you Lucas Scott," Brooke whispered as their foreheads touch. She was complete, this was her dream, and this is her life, all of those years of being angry, sad and lonely all gone by this right now, right here, today, the day of the end but also the beginning.

"I love you too Brooke Scott," Lucas whispered back before pressing his lips gently against hers; Lucas and Brooke, Broody and Cheery, finally here. Peyton's gone, Dylan is arriving, and they are one, a whole and that is filled with so much love it shines through anyone who walks past, Brucas forever and infinite.

Lucas held Brooke in his arms, his right hand resting on her pregnant stomach with his thumb slowly caressing her stomach. Haley, Rachel and Nathan walked down the aisle behind Lily who threw white rose petals and blue pansies petals aimlessly at the guests who were standing up, some smiling, others crying. Coach Whitey with his baseball cap on his chest was wiping his eyes with a tissue in the other hand, as Brooke and Lucas walked down the aisle holding hands both smiling and chuckling as Uncle Cooper began 'whooping' and 'cheering' as they exited the dark brown wooden doors.

A happy ending but just the beginning at the same time, Lucas and Brooke smiled and laughed as the guests threw petals at them as they walked down the grey stone pathway and to the old fashioned car with red letters saying "just married" on the back window. Lucas opened the door and helped Brooke in the car as she waved at Rachel and Haley who were both standing close, crying with tears of joy. Lucas shut the door and walked around to the other side of the car, not before hugging his mother tightly and getting in the car with Brooke.

"We finally made it," Brooke said as she looked lovingly at her new husband. Lucas looked back at his new wife and kissed her forehead gently as he said gently, "We did, but this is only just the beginning.

Brooke giggled as she looked out of the car window and at the scenery outside and replied, "yeah, we've got this little monster to worry about," as she placed her hands on her beautiful pregnant stomach, and giggled again as Lucas raspberry kissed her hands as he said, "there's nothing to worry about, we'll do just fine."

"How do you know that?" Brooke said looking worried at Lucas who kissed her cheek tenderly again as he said, "We're Brucas, we can do anything."

Brooke smiled as she whispered, "Brucas, forever and infinite." This was the end, they had reached the end of the Brucas rollercoaster, yet it was the beginning all much more. Lucas was right, they could do anything and they will and this is the end.

There is only One Tree Hill, and now it's Brucas' home.
