(Listen to No Light, No Light by Florence + the Machine.)
Days Later
Lucas smiled up at the sight of Penelope with her mother. Focusing his view on the two of them as he recorded the video on his phone.
The two were in the living room. Steps away from Lucas. Brooke beamed with happiness as she took hold of her daughter's hands. Watching as the baby took her first few shaky steps.
Brooke smiled warmly at Penelope. (That's right honey. Look at you walking. Daddy and I are so proud of you. Soon you'l be running and playing right along with your big brother.) She said.
The little girl took a few more steps with the assistance from her mother then plopped right back down on the floor.
Brooke laughed as she scooped out the baby in her arms.
(You did good today. You rest up now. We'll try this again later.) She said. Placing kisses all over her daughter's face. The young girl's laughter filling the air.
Brooke walked over to the playpen carefully placing Penelope inside it.
Lucas walked over to Brooke. Wrapping his arms around her. Placing a kiss on her lips.
Brooke kissed him back. Eventually the two seperated.
(She's growing up so fast. They both are.) Lucas said. Looking over at Marc. Who was close by coloring in his coloring books. Sitting close by his sister. Who he was becoming more protective of as time went on.
Brooke smiled up at him. (I know i want it slow down yet i'm enjoying watching them become their own people. As for our upcoming wedding. We are on the same page.)
(Private and personal. We want to happen in the church where your mom and Keith got married and the repection will be at your mom's home. She has that spacious backyard area. And we can hire a chef and a band to play. And all the other fun personal details we like. We are in agreement that we'll right our own vows. After that it's just me getting my dress you getting the tuxedos.) She said.
Lucas looked to her. (The honeymoon has to be booked but that's enough. Somewhere warm, with water, sun, delicious food, and a variety of stores for shopping in town. In a matter of months we'll be married.) He said. Smiling up at her.
Brooke leaned over kissing him.
(I cannot wait to become Mrs. Brooke Davis Scott.) She said. Letting go of his hand. Grabbing her purse off the chair as she gazed up at him.
(I'm off to the store you let me know what Lindsay has to say about how your book is being seen by your fans. I'm sure they are going to love it. You have this way with words that just tugs at your heart.) Brooke said. As she headed out the front door of the home.

Sometime Later
Peyton looked out from her window at the clothing store Clothes over bros. She got out the car and began to walk towards the store. She was done waiting on Xzavier to act. She had cut ties with him. If wanted Brooke out of the picture she was going to have to take matters into her own hands.
Peyton thought to herself as she entered the store with her gun in her other hand.
At the sight of Peyton. Brooke took a breath and braced herself.
(What do you want Peyton. ? I'm not going to keep doing this back and forth with you. We are adults now i've moved on so has Lucas. I hope you find peace, gain closure and do the same.) Brooke said.
Peyton pointed her gun straight at Brooke and spoke. (I need you out of my life and Lucas's this is the only way it can happen.) She said. Pulling the trigger.
Brooke rushed into the back storage room.
(Damn it!) Peyton yelled. Realizing she had missed her shot.
Brooke locked the door to storage room and attempted to gather her emotions. She listened closely as the door to the store opened again.
An unfamiliar voice spoke with Peyton.
(She's in the closet. I missed the shot now it's time for plan B.) Peyton said.
Brooke heard heavy footsteps coming towards the door.
The sound of a gun going off was ringing in her ears.
The door swung open. (Brooke Davis. Come with me.) The man said. Touching her face with his hand.
Brooke kicked him and spit in his face. (You are not going to get away with this. You and Peyton are isane. She's using you. To get back at me. I have alot of people who love me and will notice that i'm gone.) She said.
He stuck a needle in her arm. Which caused her to black out and go limp in his arms he picked her up and carried her out of the store.
Peyton drove as fast as possible with the night sky above them.
