3 Years Later:

The view from here was the most amazing she had ever seen. She wasn't looking at the scenery, which was a cliff overlooking the ocean, she was looking down the isle at all of her family and friends, but most of all the love of her life at the end of the isle. She bent down and whispered, "Ok, I want you to walk to daddy, and don't drop these rings." The three year old glanced up at his mom, gripping the pillow tightly and smiled widely, then he turned his attention to the goal at hand, reaching his dad. The man was bent down waiting for the boy to run to him, and once the little one reached his dad, he hugged him. He turned and looked at everyone who was watching his performance, and got a frightened look on his face, but then the safe warm arms of his granny reached out and pulled him onto her lap.

The music began and she slowly walked down the isle holing her father's arm, she wanted to control herself so she looked at the crowd. She saw her grandparents, her in-laws, Peyton and Jake along with their children and Peyton's very pregnant tummy. She glanced at her bride's maids, Haley and Beth, both smiling the same bright smile. She glanced over her soon to be husband and landed her eyes on his groomsmen, Nathan and Tyler, both looking at her with the same Scott smirk, and she knew her fiancé had the same look on his face. At last she reached him and looked up at him, he didn't hold the famous smirk, instead he looked at her with undying love and admiration. A look that she had never seen before from any man.

"I would like to introduce, Mr. And Mrs. Lucas Scott." Nathan called out to all of their family and friends, after the priest was finished. They watched, standing and clapping as the happy couple made their way down the isle, and ready to start the reception. "We are so happy for you," Haley gushed hugging them both, following her was Nathan. They all smiled and laughed and talked. The DJ began playing the music and everyone let loose and danced, ate and had a good time. Brooke noticed Hayden, Emily and Brandon playing in the sand together, she couldn't help but smile.

"He's great Brooke," Jake's voice said behind her watching the children as well. She turned and glanced at him.

"He is, and you're missing out on a wonderful child." She said to him.

"I know, I wish I could go back. Does he know that I'm…"

"No." Lucas said coming up and wrapping his arms around his new bride. "He will only ever know me as his father." He said satisfied.

"You know?" Jake asked Lucas but it was intended for Brooke.

"Yes, I told him. I told him before we started dating, I'm not going to be in a marriage that's based around a lie."

"I'm Sorr…"

"You don't have to apologize to any of us, we are happy. You might want to apologize to yourself though, because you really are missing out." Lucas said to him, and then lead his wife back inside.

"I love you Lucas Scott." Brooke said looking up at him.

"I love you Brooke Davis-Boudreaux-Davis-Scott." He said, she laughed and swatted him on the arm, "I love you Brooke Scott." She sighed and leaned into his hug, "That's how it should have always been." He whispered in her ear.

When the reception was nearing the end, Haley, Nathan, Lucas and Brooke all sat down talking together. "So are you finally moving out of our house?" Brooke asked the other couple laughing. They were supposed to stay for a year, but the remodeling of their house took much longer.

"Yea, we will be out by the time your back from Europe." Haley said laughing with them. They all glanced at Beth and Tyler who were making their way over to the group.

"You don't mind watching them do you?" Brooke asked meaning the four children.

"No we love them." Nathan responded.

"It's gonna be a lot different now isn't it?" Lucas said.

"What do you mean?" Haley asked.

"Well Beth is moving in with you guys, and Tyler is gonna be living with us." The group nodded, except for Brooke who smiled.

"Nope, not weird, perfect." Haley smiled because she knew where she was headed.

"Like it always should have been."
