Chapter 28: The Wedding


Kate peeked through the door she saw her mother standing in the room with a beautiful white wedding gown on that Brooke had designed. Kate had to admit her mother looked stunning on this particular day, okay so what Kate was thinking that she was the luckiest girl on the planet. She had her mom and her dad and they were getting married. Married. MARRIED! It was like a fairy tale; Kate had only dreamt of this moment her whole life. Today was the day, the day her mother and father would be married in holy matrimony. Kate loved the idea of weddings, she had been to her fair share of them; Brooke's when she was seven as the flower girl of course, Lucas' and Peyton's when she was eight, and Mouth's and Millie's when she was twelve. She loved weddings, and today's was even more special. Since her mom asked her to be the maid of honour. Kate flashed back to the day her mom asked her.


Kate was sitting on the couch watching a movie, it was some romantic comedy. Haley walked into the room and sat down beside her.

"Hey Kate" Haley said

"Hey Mom" Kate remembered not looking up still watching the movie

"I was thinking about the wedding" Haley stated. Kate paused the movie and looked over the Haley.

"Yeah, what about it?" Kate asked

"Just looking at my bride's maids and such" Haley said

"Me, Brooke and Peyton?" Kate asked

"Actually just one in particular" Haley replied

"Yeah" Kate said

"I was wondering if you would be my maid of honour." Haley asked. Haley watched Kate's jaw drop. Kate was speechless. "Because I feel that we've gotten a lot closer as mother and daughter and I feel like you're the one person who gets me" Haley continued

"Yes!" Kate exclaimed. "Wait why me?" Kate asked a second late

"You're the only person I feel that will do the best job as maid of honour than anyone else" Haley told Kate.


Kate smiled at the thought, and walked into the room. Haley was standing in front of the mirror.

"Mom you look great" Kate spoke

"Thank you my gorgeous daughter" Haley replied when she turned around to saw her daughter. Haley look over how gorgeous her daughter looked, her hair was softly curled into an up-do. Her face perfectly smiling, and the dress she had let Kate pick out was prefect on her. It was a light shade of baby blue which brought out the colour in her eyes. Four months ago Haley couldn't believe she knew nothing about this lovely daughter of hers, and now she knew a hell of a lot more.

"This isn't about me; it's all about you today" Kate rebutted.

"I'm sorry, it's just I never imagined this wedding ever happening, or even knowing you" Haley said with tears in her eyes.

"Mom don't cry you'll ruin your makeup" Kate said going over to comfort her.

"It just it's my wildest dream" Haley said as tears ran down her cheeks.

"It's like an unreal fairy tale" Kate said as tears started to well up in her eyes as well.

"I'm sorry" Haley said

"It's okay" Kate said. They both hugged while crying. Brooke walked in on their little emotional moment.

"Man oh, man both of your makeups is going to have to be redone now" Brooke said rolling her eyes.

"I'm sorry" Kate said

"Me too sorry Brooke, we had a bonding moment" Haley replied

"You two are full of bonding moments, but no more crying until after the wedding" Brooke told them as she started to fix their makeup.


Nathan stood in a black tuxedo, waiting, waiting, and waiting for the wedding to start. He was standing at the front of the church waiting for his beautiful fiancé to walk down the aisle. Over the past seventeen years, since he first met Haley he had been waiting for this moment and now finally it was here. Lucas as his best man, Adam as a groomsman along with his uncle copper, he waited. The music started and with that Peyton walked down the aisle, followed by Brooke, followed by Kate, who looked prefect to her father's eyes, along with Adam of course. As soon as Kate reached the front of the church and took her place. Nathan looked out to the aisle to see Haley looking stunningly gorgeous. In her long white dress that fit her perfectly, her hair perfectly arranged. This was the woman he was going to marry and spend the rest of his life with, finally. Finally she would be his forever, finally his own. Haley was walked to the front of the church by her father. Not a sad face in sight at this wedding everyone was so happy.

Haley reached the front of the church, and she handed her bouquet of flowers to Kate. Nathan took her hand and helped her up to where he was standing and the minister started.

"We are gathered here today to witness to bonding of Holy Matrimony between Nathan Royal Scott and Haley Lydia James. I can see from their faces that they are just waiting to be married. Now they have both chosen to do their own vows. Nathan let's start with you" The minister stated

"Haley James. You are the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen in my life. You are the mother of my children, the U in us. I am so very much in love with you and have been since the day I laid eyes on you, at the Raven basketball game against Bear Creek. I promise you that this marriage will be the best thing that ever happened to you. I promise to take care of you whenever you need my help. And I promise that I will love you until the day that I die, hopefully after that" Nathan spoke; he looked right into Haley's eyes. Haley was speechless and she had to follow is speech.

"Haley it's now your turn" The minister said

"I was fifteen years old the first day I fell in love with you. Everyone told us our love wouldn't last and for a while I believe them. Now seventeen years of loving you, I can finally love you forever. I can finally be yours; we can be a real family like we've always wanted. I love you with my entire heart, and even more. Love can be painful but this is like a never-ending fairy tale when I am with you. You make my heart skip a beat, you take care of me and I love you." Haley finished. She was about to cry, Nathan just looked into her big brown eyes and fell even more in love, if that is even possible

"Can I have the rings please?" The minister asked. Kate handed a ring to Haley and Lucas handed a ring to Nathan.

"Do Nathan Royal Scott take thee Haley Lydia James to be your lawful wedded wife, in sickness and in health, till death do you part" The minister said.

"I do" Nathan said as Haley slipped the ring on Nathan's finger.

"Do you Haley Lydia James take thee Nathan Royal Scott to be your lawful wedded husband, in sickness and in health, till death do you part" The minister said.

"I do" Haley said as Nathan slipped the ring on Haley's finger.

"Well that settles it, you may now kiss the bride" The minister smiled

Nathan and Haley shared a long sweet kiss, before breaking it apart. "I now present you ladies and gentlemen. Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Scott" The minister said as Haley and Nathan walked down the aisle and down to the limo. There was not a dry eye in sight at this wedding all tears full of happiness.


In the limo on the way to the reception Nathan and Haley sat in the Limo.

"We're married!" Nathan said his arm was around Haley.

"That we are Mr. Scott"

"Mrs. Scott"

"I could get used to that"

"It sucks that your pregnant, you can't drink at the reception"

"I can do other things after the reception"

"And the honeymoon?"

"Kate's going to be there" Haley stated

"So we have night" Nathan smirked

"That we do"

"I love you Mrs. Scott"

"I love you too Mr. Scott"


Later at the reception questions flooded the happy married couple about Nathan's comment about the mother of his children, and how children is plural, meaning that there has to be more than one.

"The tabloids with know about the twins now" Haley said as she sat down at their table.

"I'm sorry Hales" Nathan said joining her.

"Can I have everyone's attention up here please?" Brooke said into the microphone. Everyone turned. "Well some of us thought we should show all of you how Nathan and Haley's love came to be. So we have a short play for you all" Brooke said. As the curtains opened behind her, and out walked Kate and Adam, Kate had an ugly hat and poncho on. Adam was dressed in Raven's gear.

"Nathan are you going to listen to me?" Kate asked

"I'm opening up my cracker jacks box" Adam replied

"Well, you think you can score your touchdowns and all but I'm math and maths don't care" Kate said

"I play basketball not football, and does English care cause I'm failing at too" Adam replied

"Just focus okay" Kate said. As He continued to play with the Cracker Jack box, until he opened it.

"Don't say I never gave you anything" Adam said slipping a small bracelet on her arm. Kate then stood up.

"Fast forward a couple of months" Kate said

Adam throwing rocking at a window on the stage.

"Are you trying to wake up my parents? That's there room" Kate asked

"Wait, Haley I need to apologize, okay" Adam said

"You should buy them in bulk if you going to hand apology's out that often"

"It's just I don't know how to do this, alright I'm not like you"

"What does that mean?"

"I screw up a lot alright? And being around you I just don't want to be that guy anymore"

"Well who do you want to be Nathan?"

"I want to be somebody who is good enough to be seen with you"

"You should of thought about that last night, you know I keep putting myself out there and you keep blowing it. And it's probably a good thing because at this point there's nothing you can say or do that's going to surprize me" Adam leans in a kisses Kate. "Except that… you should have done that Nathan" Kate said

"I wanted to" Adam replied

"Yeah" Kate said leaping into Adams arms. "Now we all know my mom and dad shared their fill of fights, so here is the cutest one Aunt Brooke told me about.

"Nathan, your soaked what are you doing?" Kate asked

"I just went for a run to clear my head… I guess this is where I ended up" Adam said, Kate tried to move around him to get passed but, Adam stopped her

"Look Haley, the picture of Peyton didn't mean anything, okay?" Adam said looking at Kate with regretful eyes

"It did to me. Clearly you still have feelings for her" Kate said looking up at Adam.

"I saved that picture back when we were still dating. The other ones too you can go back and look. Her web cam hasn't been in her closet for months" Adam said

"Why didn't you tell me that last week?" Kate asked

"Cause I should of deleted those images a long ago; I just felt bad because I didn't do it besides Haley I don't want Peyton. I want you" Adam said

"Is that it?" Kate said looking up at Adam.

"You know my pride says yeah that's it. Just walk away and let Haley deal with the fact that she's threaten by a sexual relationship. But, my heart says just forget about your pride you idiot. You love this girl, and even if you're going to catch a cold, your ass is going to stand out in the rain, till you convince her to forgive you." Adam said

They both paused "Just come on Hales meet me halfway here" Adam said

"Why should I?" Kate asked

"Because I'm sorry, cause I love you, and because you're looking really hot standing out here in the rain and I'm thinking I have to kiss you" Adam said

Kate smiled and ran her fingers through her hair "Well if you have to"

"Know you've seen how they got to know each other over tutoring, now see where they grew closer after finding out they were pregnant with me" Kate said walking off stage.

"I'm seventeen I am way too young to be pregnant" Kate yelled

"Hales, we will figure it out I promise"

"What about basketball?" Kate asked

"Where ever you are I am" Adam stated

"I love you Nathan Scott" Kate said

"I love you too" Adam replied

"Hey everyone I hope your enjoying our little show about my mom and dad, now jump forward sixteen years and you see them sitting over there happily married to each other. Well as the maid of honour I'm to give a toast, by standing up in front of you all. So up on our little show, you saw they story of Nathan and Haley Scott. 'You don't chose who you love' someone once told me and its true you find who you love, the person that makes you crazy in love. My parents were lucky enough to fall in love at fifteen. And then they we're able to fine each other after sixteen years. When they look at each other you can see the spark between them. I love them so very much. As a kid I remember the first time my Dad told me about my Mom, he told this elaborate story about how she was this princess of music and she was out spreading the joys of music to the world. He told me how beautiful she was and how I was just like her. Over the years of course I got to know the real reason. But Four months ago when she walked into the café, my views on her changed. That simple story told me an underling problem that any girl at the age of seventeen would do. Hell if I was a mother at that age I would do the same thing. Looking back on that story, the way my father told it. It was like he still loved her every day. Times he'd pretended he moved on but, he hadn't. Ever since the first day he laid eyes on Haley James he wasn't able to resist her. Now as I said before up until four months ago all I knew about my Mom was what I read on the internet. Today I stand before you explaining, that I love her and have always. I am her. In these short months our bond has grown so strong, I tell her everything. I know scary right? But I've built a trust with her. Now I've wanted this family ever since I could remember, and now I have it. To my parents! They will live happily ever after just as the world intended them to do!" Kate said holding up her glass.

Applause rang through the hall; everyone seemed to love Kate's speech. Haley looked up to Kate and smiled, it meant so much to her hearing Kate say that to everyone. Nathan saw his beautiful mature daughter give a speech just like her mother would. Kate walked over to sit back down at her parents table.

"Kate that was…" Haley started to say pausing at the end. "Amazing"

"Thanks, I did it for both of you because you both deserve it so much"

"I loved to so much I might start crying again" Haley started to tear up

"Mrs. Scott don't start crying on me now" Nathan said putting his arm around Haley.

"Don't you think it was amazing too? We made that, and now we have two more that we're going to get to raise together" Haley said

"Kate I was really good, I quite enjoyed both, minus you kissing Adam" Nathan said

"Thank guys, oh like Uncle Lucas' turn" Kate said

"I think everybody knows that Nathan and I got off to a pretty sketchy start. Nathan, mutual hatred sounds about right?" Lucas said. The group laughed "Yeah... You see, and then a funny thing happened. Haley. She showed me that you can find the good in everybody, if you just give them a chance, the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes, people disappoint you. Sometimes they surprise you. But you never really get to know them, until you listen for what's in their hearts. And that's what Haley did for Nathan. That's what we should do for them. So for you sceptics out there, prepare to be surprised. So this is to my brother... and my little sis... in-law, and in love. The last time I made a speech about Nathan and Haley was, well, at Kate's Baby shower. I remember saying "Prepare to be surprised." Well, I have to say even I was surprised. Because, you see, they do something very rare to see in someone our age. Actually, it's very rare to see in anybody. They give their hearts to each other, unconditionally. And that's what true love really is. It's not this fairy tale life that never knows pain. But it's to souls facing it together, and diminishing it with unconditional love, to Nathan and Haley Scott." Lucas said.

"Now I know this isn't my place to have a toast but I wrote this about the time when Haley told me she was pregnant, so I figured I should probably say it, I'm not the most eloquent speaker, so I thought I would bother a few words from Shakespeare. 'Love is not love, which alters when it alteration finds. When life gets hard, when things change, true love remains the same.' I look at Haley and Nathan and somehow I feel safer. I don't know if I can explain that but they give me hope. And I'm afraid to say it out loud because maybe if life finds out it'll try to beat it out of them and that would be a shame. Because we all could use a little hope, you know? That feeling that everything is going to be okay. And there's going to be someone there to help make sure of that. So this is to Nathan and Haley. And here's to hope and a love that will not alter" Brooke said.

"Now I wanted to say this when little Haley got pregnant, but I didn't because I was too afraid to. As the father of Haley I have to say is. For those who say they're too young, let me just say: Hell, you can drive at sixteen, go to war at eighteen, you can drink at twenty-one and retire at sixty-five. So how old do you have to be before your love is real? I've waited too long to say that and now that I have think about the love in young people, when is it real? To my daughter Haley and her husband Nathan Scott." Jimmy said

"It is now time for the father daughter dance, Haley if you'd get your father" The MC said. Haley and her father went up for the dance and the song started slowly as the song progressed more father daughters went up. Nathan looked over to Kate and nodded, Kate nodded in an agreement and the two met on the dance floor for a father daughter dance.

As the evening started to draw to a close, guest started to leave. This was the best night of the entire families. Everyone had gotten what they wanted. Kate was smiling, Haley was happy and Nathan finally had the girl of his dreams, it was a good day for a Scott family. As Nathan started to pack up the gifts into his car, he saw an unlikely figure walking his way, he was tall, he was smug, it was someone he thought would never show up. He didn't like this one bit.
