"Hush little Allie don't say a word… mommy's going to buy you a mocking bird…if that mocking bird don't sing… mama's going to buy Chloë a diamond ring… if that diamond ring turns brass, Mama's going to kick the Jewelers ass and get you babies some platinum! Please girls… sleep! Mommy has to look hott tomorrow and that isn't going to happen if we stay up all night singing about coke birds and cheap jewelry!"

"They're still awake?" Lucas yawned walking into the bedroom where the girls beds were set up. Brooke looked so frustrated and Chloë and Allie were enjoying every minute of it… for them it meant Brooke giving in and playing with them as long as they wanted.

"Do they look like sleeping babies to you?"

"Come here girls… mommy's cranky"

"Am not" Brooke whined handing the girls to Lucas. Of course she was… but she couldn't let Lucas be right. What woman did that, other than Haley? It was so much easier to whine and get sympathy than give him the satisfaction of being right.

"Brooke, go to bed. Get your beauty sleep"

"What about you?"

"We both know I look hott with or without sleep" Lucas laughed patting the girls backs and rocking them back and forth. Of course they were already falling asleep…typical.

"Hmm… I've rubbed off on you, Good night rosemary's babies…I cant stay mad at these 2, luvies girls"

"Say night, night mommy"

"Sleep…or phone" Brooke sighed hearing the phone ring. It would be so much easier to through it out the window than answer it but she decided that since tomorrow was the wedding she had better answer it this one time.

"Its 3 in the morning"

"Maybe its Rosemary asking for her babies back!"

"Your mother really does love you girls" Lucas laughed as Brooke stomped off to answer the phone.

"Hello"

"Brooke! We got the call!" Karen yelled into the phone almost bursting Brooke's ear drums, if she wasn't deaf before she definitely probably was now.

"The call?"

"THE call"

"I'm sure you did Karen…" Brooke sighed rolling her eyes at the phone and flipping her middle finger at her ear.

"No from the agency! They have a 5 year old boy who was in foster care and he needs a home"

"Didn't you guys like JUST put your name on that listy thing?"

"I have a friend down there" Karen shrieked… hurting Brooke's ears again. Why was it that all the happy moments in her friends and family's lives had to happen at in the middle of the night? Nothing could wait until morning!

"Karen that's great… really but considering I am getting married tomorrow… I've got to sleep! Give Andy a hug for me and tell him congrats"

"I will when he gets home"

"Home? What he's so nervous about being a dad he had to go get drunk… Yea I don't blame him I think if I could have gotten drunk before I had the girls I would have" Brooke laughed sitting down in the kitchen chair. This was pointless… at this rate she was going to be on the phone right until she walked down the isle.

"No… he went to pick him up!"

"Already?"

"He needs placement now! His name is Brandon" Karen squealed. She sounded so excited Brooke felt guilty for being so snappy. If any 2 people deserved this it was definitely Karen and Andy. Everything she and Lucas had put them through the past couple years, they deserved some happiness.

"Hey Luke! You're a brother!… again"

"Ok… I'll let you go, I'll see you all in the morning! I'm just so excited"

"Good… night Karen" Brooke giggled hanging up the phone and walking back in the bedroom. Lucas had on his anxious face… she probably should have just given the phone to him… after all it was his mother and his brother.

"What did she say?"

"They have a 5 year old named Brandon"

"Seriously?" Lucas asked trying to grasp what Brooke had just told him. How awkward was that… suddenly having another brother over night, no time what so ever to prepare or anything. Not to mention the fact that he was so young… and already an uncle.

"Yea… more info in the morning… sleep!" Brooke whined falling into Lucas's arms after he put the girls in the crib.

"Girls are out" Lucas whispered kissing the top of her head

"Look! You can't even tell they are evil when they're sleeping"

"What did we do without them?"

"I don't know… and I don't want to remember, lets go to bed husband" Brooke smiled kissing both the girls and then talking Lucas's by the hand

"Not yet…"

"Close enough… Luke…"

"What? No… Brooke" Lucas whined knowing exactly what Brooke wanted to do. She had that look… the same look she got every night after they put the girls to bed.

"But look at them…"

"They aren't sleeping with us tonight"

"Why… Its our last night with them and they want too so bad! Look at those precious little faces!" Brooke whimpered looking pitiful. Why… she didn't know. Lucas was going to say yes anyway! And even if he did for some reason say no… she was still going to bring them in there after he was asleep.

"They aren't even awake!"

"Luke…. Pleeeeease?"

"Fine… but if they wake up" Lucas started but Brooke kissed him to stop him from talking

"You'll get them back to sleep! Exactly!"

"And I am marrying you why?"

"Because I'm so hott, plus you got me knocked up with your babies remember?" Brooke asked rolling her eyes at him and giggling.

"So it has nothing to do with that fact I love you?"

"Nope… its purely about the lust and sex and the fact you knocked me up"

It seemed like as soon as Brooke closed her eyes to go to sleep, morning had come and the alarms known as Allie and Chloë were climbing all over her and Lucas to wake up and feed them. Typical morning for the not so typical day. Brooke sat up and looked down at Chloë who was grinning up at her with her very few teeth. And mischievous Allie was trying to pull Lucas's finger out of socket. Lucas being the wonderful tolerant dad her was just laid there as Allie tugged away. This was her life now… no more keg parties, or spending time wondering what she was going to be when she was grown up. This was it playing mommy and being a wife… and although it wasn't what she had hoped for, being a Super Model who was never going to get married or have kids, somehow it as better. One smile that Allie or Chloë gave her was so much more rewarding that anything else. And just being there with Lucas made her happier than having 10 guys. But what worried her was how long was this feeling going to last? It obviously couldn't last forever…being a stay at home mom was great, but how long before that got old? What would she do once the girls went to Kindergarden? All of this thinking about the future was starting to make her feel nauseous. Finally Allie and Chloë snapped her out of it by deciding it would be fun to tackle mommy.

"Hey ho, whore… how are we this morning? Are you 2 ever going to learn to talk when I speak to you? I guess you could be hooker mimes or something… Thank you for my slobbery kisses and hugs too this morning! I love hugs from my girls! Thank you… now go slobber some on daddy" Brooke teased tickling the girls. No wonder they never talked… she talked for them. It wasn't like she meant too she just knew what they wanted… she was their "mommy" after all.

"No…" Lucas grunted burying himself futher under the covers

"Ok then go punch daddy with some of that Tae Kwon Do stuff…. Or… maybe I'll just pinch him!"

"Oww!"

"Better…" Brooke giggled winking at the girls who had found something new to amuse them…trying to get to Lucas under the covers. Neither of them could figure out where he had gone and they were both starting to worry. Times like this was when Brooke saw how different their personalities really were. Allie being the typical oldest sat and thought about it and then experimented by hitting the sheets… while Chloë whined and waited for a reaction.

"That was mean" Lucas griped finally coming out and hugging the girls who were thrilled to see him.

"No… that was nice! What was mean was not letting our precious little angels sent to us from god snuggle with you this morning! And also! Hitting me in the head with your watch last night… that was mean too… girls say Mean daddy"

"Is this mean too?"

"Lucas! No tickling! That's cheating… help Chloë… Allie… body slam him… attack… something…" Brooke squealed in laughter between breathes.

"Help me tickle mommy and I'll give you cookies for breakfast"

"Traitors…"

"My god you guys are like an after school special… well at least the bad porno kind" Haley laughed walking into the bedroom. They were definitely back in Tree Hill… no one used the doorbelle.

"Morning Hales"

"Morning… ok, lets get this show on the road! Its wedding time in 12 hours"

"We haven't had a shower…" Brooke whined burying her face in Lucas's bare chest just to see Haley cringe.

"Fine… fine… you 2 take your little kinky gross shower thing and I'll take the girls and feed them something healthy… that's probably time they'll eat healthy for weeks"

"Ha ha… kissies babies! Go with Tutor bitch"

"Hey!" Haley shrieked

"If the name fits…"

"Your lucky its your wedding day…"

"I know… shower time lover" Brooke giggled winking at Lucas who was trying to go back to sleep. He was such a light wait when it came to sleep. It made her wonder how they ever got through those first few months when they girls didn't sleep through the night.

"You 2 are gross"

By 7:30 Brooke and Lucas were finished getting ready and met Haley downstairs where she was waiting with Nathan, Andy, Karen and Brandon. A little blonde boy with blue eyes missing his 2 bottom teeth. He was nothing like Lucas's had expected. He had been prepared for a quiet shy little boy who was scared and alone… instead there sat an energetic 5 year old who seemed to have no shyness in him what's so ever. In fact as soon as Lucas and Brooke walked down he gave them both a hug and introduced himself.

"Hi" Brandon said shaking Lucas's hand like an adult. He had apparently had a lot of practice at this… he was more polite at 5 than Lucas was at 23… no thanks to Brooke.

"Hi…"

"I'm Brandon"

"I'm Lucas" Lucas said awkwardly. He wasn't exactly sure what to say to this kid… with Allie and Chloë it was easy… they were HIS babies and he could say and do with them as he pleased without worrying about doing or saying the wrong thing… but this kid wasn't his… it was his moms, which made things ten times worse.

"Ok… I like your PS2"

"You wanna play with it?"

"Ok… I'll play you in NBA finals!" Brandon yelled running over to the couch. That was easy enough… even Karen looked shocked at the little boy's reaction to everything that was going on.

"Your on! This kid rocks"

"Broody… wedding?" Brooke asked. She knew this was his new brother and all but he did have a fiancé who needed this wedding to work perfectly. He had the rest of his life to play with his brother but their wedding only happened once.

"1 game?"

"Have fun with your new brother… just be dressed and at the church by 5? I'll seriously hurt you if you aren't…I'm talking serious injuries"

"I'll be there… Love you" Lucas smiled kissing her. She just giggled and rolled her eyes at him as she kissed back. He was so easy going, compared to her and that's what she loved about him. Here it was their wedding day and he was more excited about playing NBA finals on a playstation… typical guy! But it didn't matter… he was her guy.

"Love you too"

"Ew… gross"

"Dude… not gross, if you get a hott woman like this when your older… kiss her, a lot" Lucas laughed giving Brooke one last kiss. Partly to apologize to her for not totally focusing on the wedding, and partly just because she was so much fun to kiss.

"I'll call you later"

"Girls are gross…"

"Allie, Chloë lets get you out of this environment… I think it might be damaging to your self esteem" Brooke sighed grabbing the girls and waving bye to the guys.

"Brandon come on…"

"Cant I stay here and play with Lucas?"

"I think you better come with me" Karen said not wanting to leave her newfound son behind. After all she had only had him for 4 and ½ hours and here he was already wanted to stay with the guys.

"Come on mom… he's my brother remember? I wont see him for like a week after today"

"Fine… I'll be back in an hour to check on you men though" Karen finally caved letting the boys be. At least he'd have some time with Lucas and Andy…

"Bye babe… wave bye bye to daddy girly girls"

"Look at those 2… you mean to tell me you aren't going to give him a son?" Haley whispered pointing to Lucas and Brandon as they left. Brooke knew what she was doing… trying to make Lucas feel guilty that all of the guys he knew now had sons and he had not 1 daughter, but 2.

"Haley… girls can play Playstation too…"

After the girls were gone Lucas was left with Andy, Nathan, Little James and Brandon. They were never going to get anything done… especially with 2 kids to deal with while they were supposed to be getting ready. He had to admit it was pretty cool to have a brother… Of course he had Nathan but that was different. He had spent the first 16 years of his life hating Nathan and had never gotten to know him as a kid… but here was Brandon who was only 5. Lucas had his whole life to get to know him… although it still surprised him how well adjusted this kid was. He was already calling Karen and Andy mom and dad… from what Lucas had heard and read that didn't happen very often in these kind of adoptions.

"So… how long have you been in foster care?" Lucas asked as they played. He wasn't sure if that was something he should ask or not… but since Andy and Nathan had gone out to get some things from the car he figured now was as good of a time as ever to get to know this kid.

"My whole life… I didn't think anyone was ever going to adopt me! Hey… how'd you do that?"

"Hold down square and up at the same time…"

"Are those babies yours?" Brandon asked after a long pause.

"Allie and Chloë? Yea… they're spoiled rotten" Lucas smiled. He knew he probably shouldn't take so much pride in saying his girls were spoiled rotten but he couldn't help it… at least they were spoiled and sweet at the same time.

"Did you adopt them?"

"No… Brooke had them, they were kind of a surprise"

"A good one?" Brandon laughed still playing the game.

"A very good one…"

"Brooke's pretty"

"Yea she is, you'll have to come over sometime after we get back and get to know her and the girls" Lucas said letting Brandon hit a shot. This was a lot easier than everyone had made it out to be… this kid was definitely something else.

"Can we play more play station?"

"Sure"

"Do you only have girls?" Brandon asked again bringing up Allie and Chloë. He seemed really interested in them and Lucas wasn't sure why.

"Yea… just Brooke and the twins"

"Aren't they boring?"

"Girls are never boring dude…" Lucas laughed shaking his head. He remembered how he had thought at that age… He didn't even like Haley back then, it had been just him, Fergie and Skills.

Meanwhile Brooke, Haley, Karen and the babies had hardly anytime to breathe. Between hair and make up and dresses… and then doing all of this to two babies, it was definitely chaotic. Chloë kept refusing to keep her hair bow in her hair and Allie wouldn't wear the shoes. Then after finally getting them totally dressed they both decided they were whiney and wanted mommy… only in her strapless dress Brooke couldn't pick them up which caused tears all around. Haley and Karen were no help. Both of them believed babies should learn how to comfort themselves… they were so the anal parents on Meet the Fockers. Luckily Lucas and the guys got there an hour early and came in to see what they could do, that is until Karen kicked them out leaving them at square one again with 2 crying babies.

"Brooke! He isn't supposed to see you before the wedding… Its bad luck!" Karen shrieked slamming the door in Lucas's face before he could see Brooke, like it was some big secret.

"So is having sex before the wedding… and we did that! Not to mention we also had our children out of wedlock… if that doesn't kill us nothing will"

"Chill out… Erica's here, I'll take them to her and she can take them to Lucas" Haley said picking up the screaming babies who seemed to be attached to Brooke's legs. She had never seen 2 babies who hated to leave their mommy THAT much. James could care less when she left him… and now that Nathan was starting to work through some of his issues she was finding herself doing it more and more.

"Why cant I just take them to Lucas?" Brooke whined trying one last desperate time to hold the girls. She hated to see them cry when she couldn't do anything about it… but it was pointless… there was no way in hell that dress was going to allow her to hold 2 babies.

"Because you'll screw up your make up making out"

"Fine… ok girls I'll see you in a little while! Stay pretty…Ok?" Brooke asked kissing both the girls on the cheek to make them smile. It worked for a minute at least until they realized what was happening.

"Those chairs are filling up… Brooke you look beautiful!" Erica Shrieked running over to hug Brooke. The dress wasn't very good when it came to hugs either.

"Thanks!"

"Any cold feet?"

"Of course… I'm going barefoot" Brooke giggled pointing out her perfectly manicured toes.

"You know what I mean"

"I'm fine… how's Lucas?"

"He seems ok to me…" Erica sighed pretty much ignoring Brooke and playing with the girls.

"Good… ok lets get this show on the road, right girly girls?"

"15 minutes"

"Butterflies?" Haley asked seeing Brooke suddenly turn pale

"With really big wings" Brooke sighed. This was it…

"Ok… you guys go take the girls, I'm going to go find my son"

"Ok… We love you Brooke!" Haley squealed giving Brooke a quick squeeze.

"You look beautiful!"

Karen listened as the girls all hugged and giggled and went on and on about how pretty Brooke looked and how everything looked so nice. They were right of course, Brooke looked beautiful in her long strapless dress, tight at the top and 'fuffy' at the bottom as Brooke described it. Her hair was down in light curls and her make up was simple and elegant… nothing like Brooke's usual dramatic eyes. Everything was pretty much perfect from Allie and Chloë's pale pink dresses to the brides maids simple pale purple. It was a sunny day and all the chairs were set perfectly out of the beach… which they should have been as much as they had paid for them to be like that. But when Karen looked at Brooke or Lucas for that matter she didn't see them as two 23 year olds getting married. She still saw them as those 2 little 4 year olds on Halloween so many years ago. Lucas had dressed up as James Bond and Brooke a fairy Princess. The only reason Karen even remembered this was because when she had taken Lucas to the Halloween carnival in his James Bond Tux everyone seemed to think that he was the Groom and Brooke was the bride. Its funny how at the time you think nothing of these things… only do they find their way back into your memory long after they had happened.

Down the hall Lucas was waiting with Nathan and Mike laughing about something. He looked so handsome in his tux… it was hard to believe that was her baby boy, of course now she did have her Brandon. But Lucas was her first… and Andy had know that, which was exactly why he had suggested getting a girl first, since Karen had never had a daughter. But with a boy she already knew how to raise him… what they liked to do and play with, not to mention the fact she already had Brooke, who she had seen as her daughter for the past 8 years, and 2 little grand daughters… a son just seemed more logical. But as she stood there looking at Lucas so grown up her heart broke into a million pieces and she couldn't help but cry.

"And so we just talked to Dan for a few hours until he finally got mad and left us at his house…" Nathan said to Andy referring to the events of the talk with Dan the other night.

"Mom… don't cry" Lucas said seeing Karen walk towards him all teary eyed.

"I cant help it… your not supposed to be getting married, or have kids… your supposed to be 4"

"I'm almost 24"

"Stop it… come here, let me straighten your tie, then its time for our little talk" Karen whispered. She knew she was going to cry… so much so she was starting to wonder why she had spent that much to get her make up done.

"Mom… do we have too?"

"I already put Brooke through the talk earlier, we had to have it before all the make-up was done so that tears didn't ruin it"

"Its going to ruin yours now" Lucas smiled wiping a tear away from her eye with his thumb. He hadn't seen her like this since his first day of Kindergarten… she hadn't even been this choked up when the girls had been born.

"It's going to get ruined when Brooke walks down that isle too… now sit here and listen to your mother"

"Ok"

"You know I'm proud of you right? You're my boy and… and I'm just so proud of you! Come here…" Karen wept streaming tears everywhere. She could barely get her words out… she had gone over this hundreds of times in her head and how she couldn't een say the first 3 lines. The same thing had happened when she was talking with Brooke earlier.

"Mom…"

"No… let me finish, Brooke couldn't be getting a better man… and let me add while I'm in here that you couldn't be getting a better woman so if you hurt her… sorry her parents aren't here to yell at you so I figured someone should, anyway just know I love you and… you'll always be my baby boy Lucas"

"I love you too mom" Lucas smiled hugging his mom. Somehow that seemed like enough… nothing else needed to be said. It wasn't like in the movies where the mothers always gave these long drawn out speeches to explain their emotions, Karen could do it in a simple hug to him, the same way Brooke could do with the girls… must be a mom thing.

"Ok… now go get married"

"There are my girls, you 2 look beautiful" Lucas smiled taking his girls from Erica. They were both thrilled to see their daddy… and the fact that he could actually hold them was a bonus. All tears came to a halt as the girls cuddled up to Lucas and held on for dear life.

"You have no idea what it took to get them this way… go to your daddy"

"Isn't that a site for sore eyes… where's the bride?" Whitey asked with his usual "Whiteyness" as he walked into the hallway.

"Hey coach…"

"Its Whitey"

"Right… mom wont let me see her…" Lucas sighed rolling his eyes at Karen, but couldn't help but smile at the same time.

"That's poppy cock! Why not?"

"Because its tradition!" Karen said giving Whitey the death glare.

"Uh huh…"

"Ok… everyone to your places"

Lucas carried the girls outside where everyone was waiting on the beach… whispering and laughing until they saw him come out. Then it was silent. Allie and Chloë seemed totally fascinated by all the people and were being complete show offs, so much so that when he handed them to Karen and Haley neither one of them let out a single whimper. How was the hard part. Watching everyone walk down the isle. Lucas had always found weddings to be boring… and he had to admit even though this was his wedding… it wasn't exactly fun to stand there and watch a bunch of people he didn't know stare at him. Finally the interesting parts happened. First Erica and Mouth walked down, then it was Haley and Nathan… along with Poor little Allie who looked dead tired, then Karen and Andy with Chloë who looked equally as sleepy but lit up when she saw Lucas. Then finally Brandon (Who Brooke had added in VERY last minute insisting that her new brother in law, well almost brother in law needed a spot in the wedding too) walked down with Jenny who was there with Trish. Then finally everyone got into their places and the music changed. There was Brooke, if possible more beautiful that he had imagined. Now he could see why Karen had made him wait. This right here was worth it all…Somehow now every fight they had ever had, everything they had been through in the past couple years seemed worth it. The tense moment was making his palms sweat until Allie decided to fix that by shrieking "Mama!" at the site of Brooke.

As Brooke walked the only thing that came to mind was "Do not trip" Over and over again. She was so nervous she could feel her hands shaking. What was wrong with her? It wasn't like walking down the isle was the hardest thing she had ever done… in fact if they tried long enough Chloë and Allie could probably master it.

"Lucas is a lucky man" Whitey whispered in her ear apparently seeing how nervous she was.

After that Brooke decided to focus on Lucas. He looked so handsome in his tux, his hair all spiky and ½ smile that he always had when he saw her. Seeing him like that seemed to make her less nervous… especially since he looked as nervous as she did. It was a good thing they had decided not to write their own vows because now that she thought about it she wasn't sure she'd be able to get them out without crying. She was also thankful she had decided not to wear heels. She changed her focus from Lucas to her 2 babies in the corner who were both waving to her with their little hands and grinning. Right before she got to Lucas she winked at the girls and gave them both a little wave. Then gave Whitey a hug and thanked him.

"You look… beautiful" Lucas whispered leaning over and kissing her on the cheek and then taking her hands. That made her feel so much better in an instant. No wonder she was marrying him.

"You don't look so bad yourself… please tell me your shaking as bad as I am"

"Worse…I think if I had had to walk down that isle I would have tripped"

"Ok you 2… I'm paid by the hour…" The minister whispered breaking up the longing gazes Brooke and Lucas were giving each other. It was right about then Lucas really wanted to hurt that guy…

"Right" Brooke giggled winking at Lucas

"Dearly beloved we are gathered here in the site of god and in the presence of these people to join together in holy matrimony this man and this woman"
