Lucas stood in the doorway, awaiting an answer. "What about Brooke?" A shaky voice asked, almost too softly to hear.
"I love her, but I can't live my life without you." Lucas walked into the house and hugged the women.
"So, you're actually saying that Brooke was right?" The voice said.
"Let's go and tell your new daughter-in-law that she was right!" Lucas enveloped his mom in a hug.
"But I'm not dressed!" Said a teary eyed Karen."
"It doesn't matter! If I'm not there in 5 minutes, Brooke's going to kill me!" Lucas ran out of his old house, with his mother in toe.
"Brooke, don't freak out!" Haley tried to convincingly say to Brooke. It wasn't working. Payton was zipping Brooke into her dress, which was made for her.
"How can I not flip out!" Brooke said, walking out of the dressing room. She looked like a princess, a pregnant princess. Her dress was made by Vera Wang. It was an ivory strapless A-Line gown. It had rare re-embroidered lace adorned with hand-sewn pearls and Swarovski crystals. It had a long train with a scalloped hem. Her hair was curled up and she truly looked like a princess, and the minute she walked out, everyone knew it. Brooke however, couldn't be paid enough to see it. "I'm fat and my fiance's left me 5 minutes before our wedding!"
Brooke turned around as she began to cry. Haley and Ashley began to cry with her, for no other reason than the fact that they were pregnant and hormonal. But, they weren't the only ones crying. As Brooke turned around, she saw Karen in tears running towards her.
"Brooke, Lucas didn't leave you!" Brooke couldn't believe her and just sat down and continued to cry.
"I would leave me if I were him. Look at me!"
"I am looking at you Brooke, and you look beautiful." Brook wiped her eyes and for the first time she looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.
"I do look beautiful don't I?" Brooke was beginning to become her usual cherry self. But that didn't last long. She began to cry again.
"Brooke, Lucas didn't leave you! He loves you and would never do that to you." Karen said, trying to comfort Brooke, a task that was almost impossible for anyone but Lucas. "He went to tell me that you were right." The minute those words came out of Karen's mouth, Brooke stopped crying.
"And you're not fat." Payton said looking at Brooke, putting Jenny on the ground. "Isn't that right Jenny? Is Brooke fat?"
"Bookie..." Jenny said smiling and pointing to Brooke's belly.
"See, even she thinks I'm fat!" Brooke said, but couldn't finish before Jenny spoke again.
"Bookie, baby. Hi baby!" She said, giving Brooke's belly a kiss.
Brooke laughed and everyone in the room awed at the cute toddler. Brooke wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled. "How long have you been working on that?" Brooke said, picking up Jenny and giving her a kiss.
Payton took Jenny from Brooke and rolled her eyes. That had taken her and Jake almost a month. They had been working on it ever since she first started saying Brooke's name, or Bookie as Jenny called her. "Just consider it your wedding present from Jenny!"
Everyone started to laugh, and Brooke sat down next to Ashley and Haley and sighed. But soon, the room was silent. The music began to play and the girls knew that it was time to start. Brooke stood up and went to the mirror. She put the veil on her head and played with her train. "I can't do this guys." She said, trying not to cry yet again!
"Yes you can!" Said a voice from the door.
"Lucas," this was the first time anyone had seen Brooke smile, really smile all day. They knew that everything was going to be fine. They all left the room, knowing that they needed some time alone. Really they left because they didn't feel like hearing Brooke scream at Lucas and then cry again. They had all had enough drama for the rest of the year, but knowing Tree Hill, there luck wouldn't be that good.
"Lucas, you're not supposed to see me before the wedding! It's bad luck." Brooke had been really superstitious lately. She refused to buy anything for the baby, like furniture, until after her 7 month appointment. She figured that after 7 months, if the baby was born, she would most likely be fine.
"Don't worry, my eyes are closed!" Lucas said, laughing. He loved Brooke, even when she was neurotic and hysterical.
"Lucas," Brooke said walking towards the door and holding Lucas's hand. "Where were you?"
"I went to get my mom. You might want to film this, because I'll totally deny it later. So here goes." Lucas took a deep breath and opened his mouth. "You were right! I need my mom, you need my mom, and Sydni needs her too." Lucas took his hand from Brooke's and put it on her belly.
"I love it when you say I'm right!" Brooke said, in her usual 'Nananana boo boo' voice.
"I love you. I gotta go. See you up there baby." Lucas said.
Brooke looked in the mirror as she took one last deep breath. She knew that this was her last moment as Brooke Davis. From here until eternity, she would forever be Brooke Davis Scott, and she couldn't be happier.
Since Ashley had significantly lowered her stress level since Felix had died, and she had no more complications since the miscarriage of the first baby, the doctor decided that she could walk down the aisle. Pachelbel's Cannon started to play and the doors to the church opened. Ashley walked down the aisle first. All of the brides maids were wearing long Celadon green dresses with ivory Lilys. Haley went next, she looked at Nathan standing next to Lucas at the end of the aisle. She mouthed 'I love you' and stood next to Ashley. Payton, the maid of honor, went next. She and Jake stood at the end of the aisle and dangled Jenny's favorite toys to get her to walk to them down the aisle.
Jenny was wearing a Vera Wang flower girl dress. It was ivory and had celadon flowers along the waist and had a bow tied in the back. She was smiling all the way down the aisle, clapping for herself when she got to her parents. "Momma, jni go gur?" Everyone laughed when Jenny talked, how could they not.
Then it was Brooke's turn. She took a deep breath and felt someone tap her on the shoulder. "You ready?"
Brooke turned around and looked into the blue eyes of Whitey. HE had believed in her when no one else did. He was more of a father figure to her than anyone else in her whole world. He felt like she was his daughter, and couldn't be prouder that she asked him to walk her down the aisle.
"Yup! Let's go." The bridal marched started to play and the whole church stood. Brooke slowly began walking down the aisle, trying to savor every moment. As she walked down the aisle, she didn't see all of the people looking at her, crying at her beauty. All she saw was Lucas. She couldn't take her eyes off him at the end of the aisle.
"Just make her smile, that way she won't cry. You know if she cries, than you'll cry too." Lucas kept thinking that over and over in his head. He was doing whatever he could to make Brooke smile. When Brooke saw Lucas smiling at her, she knew that everything would be fine.
They reached the altar and Whitey lifted Brooke's veil over her head and kissed her. "Thank you Whitey, for everything." Brooke whispered to Whitey, who for the first time in his life, let people see him cry.
The Priest told everyone to be seated and began to start the ceremony. "Who gives this women to this man?"
Nathan, Haley, Payton, Jake, Mouth, and Ashley shouted "WE DO!" and Nathan added a "finally!" The whole church broke out in laughter.
"Thank you! And now, Lucas and Brooke will say their vows that they have written for each other. Lucas." The priest backed away as Luke took out a crumped piece of paper out of his pocket.
"'The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less than a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must-in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures-and that is the basis of all human morality' JFK said this, and I can't think of a better quote to describe you. Courage. You have so much courage Brooke you don't even know. Brooke, when I first met you, I thought that you were this cherry cheerleader, who would never even look at a guy like me. But I was wrong about you, well, not about your cheeriness." Lucas was fighting back the tears but continued on. "You showed me a part of my self, that I would have never known without you, and would be a lesser man because of it. We almost didn't get her today." At this point, Brooke was starting to cry and Lucas was barley holding it together. "I messed up, and I lost you. I never knew what love was until I DIDN'T HAVE YOU. But you, being the courageous person that you are, took a chance and gave me a second opportunity to be with you. You and I seemed to be the only person who believed in US. Now look at us, we've proved everyone wrong. We're having a baby" Lucas and Brooke, and almost everyone in the room, well the women anyway, had lost it. Lucas put his hands over Brooke's and placed them on her belly. The minute he did this, he felt Sydni kick, and it made everything that much more real. "Sydni, I want you to know that your mom and I loved you, even before there was a you. I loved you then cherry, I love you now, and I'll love you always."
Lucas folded the paper and placed it back in the inside pocket of his tux. Now it was Brooke's turn. She took her piece of paper out of her bra, in true Brooke fashion. Everyone laughed and it gave Brooke one more minute to breath. "Lucas. I'll always remember the first time we talked. The first words that I ever said to you were 'hey broody.' Since then, it's always been broody and cheery. Even when we weren't together, we were still broody and cheery." Brooke took a hankie from Payton and wiped her eyes and then Lucas's. "If you would have asked me last year if I would be getting married to Lucas Scott, I wouldn't have believed you, but you always did. Now we're having a baby! Most people would say that teenage pregnancy is a bad deal all together, but they're wrong. I love Sydni, just like your mom loves you. There is a quote from a book that a wise woman gave to me." Brooke looked at Karen, who was smiling and crying at the same time. "She said that she would read it to her son, and well, he turned out to be the most loving, caring, sexy man in the world, the man I love. 'I'll love you forever. I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my BROODY you'll be.' I'll love you forever broody. I love you." Brooke folded the paper and handed it to Payton, who placed it through the ribbon tied around Brooke's bouquet.
The priest began to speak, but Brooke and Lucas were lost in each others lives. "May I have the rings." Nathan and Payton handed him the rings. "Lucas, place this ring on Brooke's left ring finger and repeat after me." Lucas took the ring from the priest.
"With this ring."
"With this ring."
"I thee wed."
"I thee wed." Lucas placed the ring on Brooke's finger.
Brooke took Lucas's ring from the priest. "Brooke, repeat after me. With this ring"
"With this ring"
"I thee wed."
"I thee wed." Brooke placed the ring on Lucas's left ring finger and almost lost it again.
"And now, by the power invested in me, by god and the state of North Carolina, I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss your bride." Everyone clapped as Lucas and Brooke kissed each other.
They were officially husband and wife, neither of them could believe it. On the way to the reception, Lucas just kissed Brooke and held her in his arms. "Brooke Davis Scott, I love you so much!"
"I know baby." Brooke said, kissing him back and admiring her giant ring, a platinum band with pink diamonds all around. Inside, Lucas had inscribed, "Lucas and Brooke, fairy tales do come true. 12-5-05", the same inscription in his all platinum band.
"I just want you to know that. And I'm so sorry if I made you think that I didn't." Lucas said kissing her again.
They got to the party and waited for their big entrance. "Ladies and Gentleman" Mouth said into the microphone. "Please stand and join me in welcoming for the first time, Mr. And Mrs. Lucas Scott!" Everyone stood and cheered for Lucas and Brooke.
As they sat down, Brooke put her feet up on the special matching footrest Lucas had the party planner order as a present for her. Everyone went up to congratulate the happy couple.
"Brooke, you look like a princess!"
"Thank's Bevin." Brooke said, giving her a hug.
Tim shook Lucas's hand and slipped him some condoms. "Dude, for the honeymoon!" Tim said and winked at Lucas.
"Dude, Brooke's pregnant!" Lucas said laughing.
"Oops, my bad." Tim said, "Uh, can I have them back then?" Tim said. Lucas gave them back to him and shook his head as Tim ran off after Bevin.
Lucas and Brooke were just sitting down to eat after making the rounds when Mouth came over the microphone again. "And now, it's time for Brooke and Lucas's first dance as husband and wife."
Champagne Supernova (Lyrics by Oasis, sung by Matt Pond Pa)
How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky
Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from you eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the Sky
Cos people believe that they're gonna get away for the summer
But you and I we live and die
The world's spinning round
We don't know why
Why why why why
How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were gettin high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landside
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky
Cos People believe that they're
Gonna get away for the summer
But you I we live and die
The world's still spinning round
We don't know why
Why why why why
How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
They finished dancing, and sat down. It was time for the toasts. Nathan stood up and raised his glass. "I'd like to make a toast, to my brother and new sister-in-law. A few years ago, no one ever would have thought that I'd be saying that, especially me. Lucas and I weren't really brothers, or even friends, until last year. Now, I don't know what I would have done if we hadn't gotten close. We helped each other out, and we also did more for each other than I think either of us will ever know. But, if it weren't for you being you, and me being an asshole, I would have never met haley, and well" Even Nathan was starting to cry, was this hormonal thing contagious? "I don't know how I would have survived without her. Brooke, what can I say? Thank you for keeping my big brother sane. I don't know if we'd have the same relationship if you weren't there cheering us on! I know that it's weird, not having our dad here Luke, but you know what, I think that you and I are going to prove him wrong about us. We're going to shove it in his face, that we can be great dads and still be great basketball players. So cheers to Brooke and Lucas, forever together!"
"Cheers!" Everyone clapped and took a sip of champagne, (or in Broke, Haley, and Ashley's case, sparkling cider.
Then it was Payton's turn. She raised her glass and everyone followed suit. "Ok," She knew that this was going to be hard. "Brooke and I have been best friends for as long as I can remember. Last year was rough for us, but even when I was with Lucas, I could tell that he didn't feel for me, the way I felt for him. I loved Lucas, but he loved Brooke." She took a breath and stopped herself from crying until she was done. "When they're together, it's almost as if the whole world stops. You two belong together. It's almost as if they're the only two people in the whole world. Congrats you guys. I love you! Cheers!"
The party kept going and eventually Brooke had passed out in the bathroom from pure exhaustion. They were the last to leave though. Brooke was never one to leave a party early, especially if it was her's.
"Brooke, come on, wake up! You're never going to believe this." Lucas said, trying to wake Brooke up.
"I'm sleeping now, comeback later." Brooke was being stubborn, but Lucas knew that if she didn't see this, she wouldn't believe it. He picked her up and took her outside, she immediately woke up when she felt the flakes of snow falling on her hands.
"Lucas, it's snowing! I can't believe it!" Brooke said, snuggling into Lucas's chest.
"I know! It's perfect isn't it!" Lucas said, kissing her on the head.
Brooke looked into his eyes, "The picture perfect fairy tale ending to a fairy tale wedding. Come on broody, lets go home!"
