Episode 11 Chapter 2 Angel's Lullaby
"Lucas, come on honey we've got to go." Peyton called for husband once again.
"Mommy, how do we look?" Lucy said as she ran down the stairs.
"We're beautiful aren't we mommy?"
"So beautiful." Peyton smiled at her gorgeous little girls who were both wearing the same exact white flower girl dresses.
"What about me?" Savannah smiled. She was wearing a beautiful green dress.
"All of my girls look amazing."
Charlie walked downstairs.
"Oh Charlie you look so handsome." Peyton messed with her son's hair.
"Thanks mom."
Savannah just looked at him and rolled her eyes. She still wasn't talking to him.
"Lucas Eugene Scott if you don't get downstairs right…"
She stopped talking when she saw Lucas walk downstairs. But he wasn't dressed.
"Luke," Peyton noticed that he looked a little weak and tired. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine. I just don't think I'm going to be able to make it to the wedding."
"Daddy, do you need to go see a doctor?" Natalie asked him.
"No baby…I'm okay…I don't need to see a doctor…I just…daddy just needs to rest."
Peyton was worried about him. "Honey I don't have to go to the wedding. We can all just stay home."
"No…the girls are the flower girls. They have to be there. And so do you. I'll be fine..I didn't sleep well last night. I really just need to rest." Lucas kissed her forehead. "I'll be fine."
"Okay," Peyton sighed. "I'll call and check on you." She told him.
He knew she would.
"Okay guys let's go so daddy can rest." She smiled at Lucas and then walked outside with the kids.
Lucas walked to the kitchen and pulled out his medicine. He took out his bottle of Nitroglycerin and took a pill. He had already taken one earlier that morning. His heart was killing him.
Chase walks into the church. He couldn't wait to see Summer in her wedding dress. And he couldn't wait to see Drew walk down the aisle as the ring bearer. They were all going to be a very happy family. And Chase hoped that one day soon they could add to their happy family.
"Hey big brother," Isabella walked up behind him. "You're looking hot."
"Thanks…" He couldn't stop smiling.
"You know your face is going to stick that way."
"I think I'd be okay with that."
Isabella hugs him. "I know I've said it before, but I am so happy for you."
"Thank you…I just keep thinking about when I was younger and mom. You know I thank God every single day that she adopted me and gave me this life."
Isabella smiled and then looked at her watch. "Where is mom?"
"I don't know, but I hope she makes it."
"She'll make it. She wouldn't dare miss your wedding."
"I hope you're right."
Summer was in the bride's room staring at her beautiful dress.
Lily walks in. "Wow…you look beautiful Summer."
"Thank you."
"What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about a lot of things. I can't believe this day is finally here."
"You know I've been thinking a lot about us…I mean me, you, and Chase. We went through a lot."
"Yeah…when I was sixteen I never in a million years would have ever thought that I would one day marry Chase Davis…The two of you caused me a lot of pain." Summer told her now best friend.
"I know…And if I could take that back I would. I am so sorry."
"Yeah but I feel like we all had to go through that to get where we are now. You know if you and Chase wouldn't have done what you did I might not be standing here in this dress right now…Everything happens for a reason…So I don't think we should have any regrets…What is done is done and we can never take it back…But we can be stronger and smarter…"
Lily hugs her. "I love you so much Summer soon to be Davis."
"I love you too Lily Roberts. By the way how is your husband?"
"He's gonna be okay. We're gonna be okay." Lily smiled. "We have God on our side."
"I think everything is finally going to be okay. We're all going to get exactly what we've always wanted."
"My mom would be proud of you." Lily knew that was true. Karen absolutely loved Summer. She thought of her as a daughter.
"She'd be proud of both of us."
Chase is now standing alone. Eligh and Lexie walk up behind him. "Chase," Eligh calls out, and he turns around.
"Hey guys…I'm so glad you could make it." He hugs them both.
"We wouldn't miss this for anything in the world." Lexie told him. "Congratulations."
"Thank you…" Chase still had a big smile planted on his face.
Jamie walked in pushing Ansley and Scott's stroller.
"Oh are those the twins?" Lexie walks over to them and starts making baby noises.
"She loves babies." Eligh soon joins her.
Chase and Jamie are standing at the altar. "So this is it? You're about to be a married man."
"Yeah…It feels great."
"Yeah…"
"Where's Breanne? Carter is in the wedding. Why didn't she come with you?"
Jamie bites his bottom lip. "We um…it's a long story, but I think we're just going to call it quits."
"What? That's crazy. I thought the two of you would be next. You're so in love."
"Yeah well I guess things just changed."
"I'm sorry man. If it means anything I'm sure that one day you will find the love of your life just like I found Summer. She is everything to me and more. You know I never thought that I could feel this way, but I wouldn't have it any other way."
"I'm happy for you man."
"Thanks…" Chase hugged Jamie. "I'm glad we're not enemies anymore."
"Yeah…I like being brothers a lot better."
They both smiled. They had come a long ways from hating each other, and it was nice.
Hunter is picking Clare up from her house. "You looking amazing."
"Thank you." She kisses him.
Smith is watching them from afar. He had to figure out away to get Clare back. He knew that they belonged together.
Jamie decides to take Ansley and Scott outside on the church steps for some fresh air.
"Daddy," Carter jumps into his arms.
"Hey buddy."
Breanne walked up. "Um I had to be here."
"Yeah…" Jamie looked at Carter.
"Daddy, where were you this morning?"
"I had to help Aunt Lily with some things."
"Oh…will you tuck me in tonight?"
"I'll try my best." Jamie felt so bad inside. How was he going to tell him the truth? "Why don't you go find Uncle Chase okay?"
"Okay daddy…I love you."
"I love you too son." Jamie stares at Breanne, who is trying to figure out the right words to say, but nothing comes to mind. "By the way I got those papers. I am officially his father."
"He loves you so much."
"I'm his father Breanne. I'm always going to be in his life."
"Even if you're not in mine?"
Jamie didn't say anything.
"What are we going to tell him? He's going to be devastated."
Jamie rolled his eyes and shook his head. "You probably should have thought about that before you slept with your boss."
Breanne dropped her head. He sure knew how to make her feel worse.
Jamie didn't say anything else. He just walked back into the church with Ansley and Scott.
Noah and Elizabeth walk up with Emma.
"Hey guys," Daniel greets them. "Hey cutie pie."
"Dan..Dan…" Emma wanted Daniel to take her.
Elizabeth smiled. "She loves you Daniel."
"Yeah man you're going to have to have kids soon."
"I don't see that happening anytime soon." He looked over to see Isabella and John kissing, laughing, and holding hands in front of the church. At least she was happy.
Peyton walks into the church with all of her crew.
"Hey…where's Luke?" Nathan asked.
"He's at home. I'm worried about him Nathan. He didn't look so good when I left him."
"Well if you need to go check on him go ahead."
"No…he doesn't want me to treat him like a child, and I'm sure he is going to be okay." Peyton looked around. "Where's Brooke?"
"I don't know, but she better get here soon, or I don't think I'll be able to forgive her."
Summer is alone once again. Andy walks in. "Hey pretty girl…"
"Hey daddy," she walks over and hugs him. "How do I look?"
"You look like my little girl…you know I can still remember a time when you still needed my help…but now you don't need me anymore…you're not that little girl who used to ask me to tie her shoes or kiss the boo boo's away."
Summer smiled with tears in her eyes. "Daddy the truth is I will always be your little girl. And I will always need you. I love you so much daddy."
"I love you too baby girl." He hugs her. "I have something for you." He hands her a jewelry box.
"Dad…"
"Just open it okay…"
She did as he asked. "Oh my Gosh dad, are you sure you want me to have this?"
"Yes…It was your mom's mom mom's…" He laughed. "It's been handed down for years, and I wanted to wait until the perfect moment to give it to you, and well I couldn't imagine a more perfect moment." It was a beautiful necklace.
"Me either," she smiled as her dad wiped away the tears. "This is the perfect present dad. Thank you so much…"
"I just want you to know Summer…If you ever…ever…need anything all you have to do is call…If Chase gives you a hard time I'll take care of him…I promise."
"I don't think you ever have to worry about Chase giving me a hard time…He's gonna be the perfect husband because he is the perfect man…he reminds me a lot of you…I guess that is why I love him so much."
"I just want you to be happy."
"I'll always be happy as long as I have Chase in my life."
It was getting close to time for the wedding. Chase was beginning to think his mom was going to be a no show when she walked into the door. "Mom," He ran and hugged her.
"Hey baby boy…I told you I would be here." Brooke smiled.
She looked almost exactly the same except for her hair was a little shorter.
Nathan just looked at his estranged wife. She was more beautiful than ever.
Sophie walked in shortly behind her. "Daddy," she ran to him quickly. "I missed you so much daddy."
"I missed you too angel." Nathan was hugging her so tight he wasn't sure if she could breathe, but he didn't want to let her go ever again.
Brooke watched as the father and daughter interacted. She really had missed Nathan more than she ever thought she would.
Let me know what you thought. And the title comes from a song by Reba McIntyre.
