Disclaimer-I unfortunately do not own OTH.

Note-Wow I feel sad and happy. This is my first finished story. I hope you enjoy. I am very happy with the response for Meant to Be. So here is the final chapter of How Could this Happen.

Scene-3 years later; October's dressing room

October stood in front of an antique full length mirror starring at her reflection in disbelief.

"Don't be afraid," Brooke said as she finished buttoning October's wedding gown.

"Aunt Tober, you look pwetty!" Hannah Kaitlyn Scott exclaimed happily.

"Hannah Banana, you look pretty too."

Hannah smiled a Brooke like smile. "Mommy where's Trist?"

"Tristan is by daddy," Brooke explained.

"Kay. I go find him."

"Okay sweets."

Hannah ran out.


Scene-Will's dressing room

Hannah knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Lucas asked.

"Hannah!" she yelled.

"Hannah who?"

"You daughter, silly!"

"Oh that Hannah. Come in.

She walked in. "Grandpa Whitey, I haven't seen you in forevered." She hugged him.

"You saw me yesterday."

"Dats forevered!"

Finally everyone was dressed and ready. Brooke was the maid of honor. Haley and Karen were bridesmaids. Hannah and Bailey were flower girls. Tristan was the ring bearer.

The music swelled, and Whitey walked October down the aisle. Her parents had refused to come.

"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to witness the marriage of William Matthew Blackwell and Alexis October Scott. William you may recite your vows."

"October you were there for me through thick and thin. You've been my best friend, my lover, and now my wife. I will love you till the day I die," he said smiling.

"Will, it has taken us 13 years to get to this place. No matter what happened between us, you've always been there. I will love you till the day I die," she said tearfully.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Will carefully lifted her veil. He kissed her, and as he did he dipped her back.


Scene-the reception

Mckenzie, now a famous photographer, too pictures as her fiancé, Mouth, was the DJ.

Haley walked up to October and Will holding her and Nathan's 3 month old daughter, Lily. "You look beautiful," Haley complimented. "I would give you a hug, but I don't think Lily wants to be squished."

"That's okay," October replied.

Lily started fussing, so Haley excused herself.

"She's cute," Will said.

"Ours will be cuter," October replied with a smirk.

Will's mouth hung open.

FIN

So thats the end. But there will be a sequel :-) PLEASE REVIEW
