Chapter 16

If there was one thing Brooke was born to do it was plan a wedding. Ever since the plan had been set in motion Brooke had been focused on one thing, the wedding. Bridal magazines were strewn all over the house, fabric swatches sat everywhere, flowers, cakes, you name it, anything wedding related and Brooke had it.

Even though she only had two weeks Brooke had been able to throw a wedding together. She had been on the phone constantly with Haley, Karen, and Deb. Lucas wanted a small wedding and Brooke swore it was, but he wasn't so sure. The wedding was set for this coming Friday night when Lucas had two days off between games and then a few games at home.

They had chosen only to tell a few people of the real plan and let the others believe they were getting married for real. Jason and Francis were still in the dark and were thrilled at the thought of Brooke becoming their mom. It worried Lucas what would happen with them when it was all over and done with and Brooke and him divorced.

The judge was a little skeptical at first but then Brooke had talked with him and cleared it all up. As luck would have it he was now performing the wedding for them. Brooke and Lucas agreed that it would be wrong to have a person of religion perform a sham wedding.

Lisa still had not given up. She refused to believe that they were getting married and would tell anyone who would listen. The judge had listened to her complaints and agreed that they would watch the marriage very closely to see if it was just a ploy to get custody of the kids for Lucas.

Lucas sat by his pool contemplating everything. He had been banished from the house due to Brooke's bridal shower and was killing time before he had to go get Jason from school and Francis from mother's day out. The wedding was tomorrow night and he was starting to get scared. He knew it wasn't going to be a real marriage, but was still scared at the thought of being married again. Everyone had assured him time and time again that things would be fine, but he still wasn't buying it. Unable to just sit any longer Lucas got up and decided to get his kids out of school early to go out and have some fun before the madness of the weekend took over.

Brooke sat in the living room with her friends and family giggling over every little thing. They had each had one too many cocktails and it was beginning to show. They had played the normal bridal shower games and were now getting to Brooke's favorite part, the presents.

She sat in the middle of everyone with stacks and stacks of presents surrounding her. Her friends had really outdone themselves this time. Haley shoved a present towards Brooke and demanded she open it. Brooke greedily tore off the wrapping and opened the small box to find a pair of handcuffs. She picked them up with one finger and dangled them in front of Haley.

"Care to explain Mrs. Scott?" Haley blushed a deep crimson.

"We always seem to have fun with them. I just thought you and Lucas might enjoy them as well." The whole group burst into giggles again and Brooke could not believe her sweet and innocent Haley used handcuffs during sex with her husband.

"You naughty girl you." Brooke continued to open her presents and enjoy each and every one. It seemed all her friends felt she needed new lingerie to impress her soon to be husband with. She received just about every different type of nightie, lingerie, and nightgown ever. After everyone had left and she was cleaning up the thought struck her, she and Lucas could have sex. The thought had not really occurred to her yet, but the impending wedding and the shower brought that fact to her attention. They hadn't discussed anything of the sort yet, but when they would occasionally kiss to emphasize that they were in love all Brooke knew was that they were hot. A new excitement came over Brooke as she began to think of all the things she could now do with Lucas.

The whole Scott clan sat in the Maverick's skybox. They had all come in for the wedding and decided to go and see Lucas play the night before. Everyone but Nathan was there who had his own game to play and would fly into Dallas that night. As Brooke looked around at all these people she began to have doubts about their plan.

These people cared about one another and except for Karen, Deb, and Haley thought that Lucas and Brooke were getting married for real. They had all been so kind and loving towards her and Brooke did not like the feeling that she was deceiving them. But she reminded herself that she was doing it for their family. If she didn't, Lisa would get custody of Francis and Jason and who knows what would happen then.

She was sad too, even though her wedding was a sham, her parents hadn't thought it important enough to take off work to come down and participate. According to them she would have other weddings and they would come to those. So much for supporting their daughter Brooke thought.

Brooke looked down at her hand, on her ring finger sat a gorgeous 2-carat, round cut diamond in a platinum band. Lucas had bought it for her. She didn't even tell him what kind of ring she wanted, he just went out and bought it and it was perfect. She watched him play and noticed how graceful he was on the court. He shot and scored and the crowd erupted. She was so proud of him. The past few months they had become good friends and Brooke had thought about being with Lucas on more than one occasion. They were now getting together, but not under the circumstances she had hoped for.

"You alright sweetheart?" Karen had come over and sat down next to Brooke.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just thinking that's all." Karen wrapped her arm around her.

"It'll be okay. Everything will work out all right. At first I was a little skeptical of this, but now not so much. Everything happens for a reason Brooke." Brooke looked at Karen and smiled. She knew then that everything would work out.
