Episode 20 Ch.3 Marriages, Surgeries, and Dreams

Brooke is lying on her bed with Nathan standing on one side of her, and the minister is on the other side. Their kids are in the room with them, and Deb, Peyton, and Luke are standing outside looking in through the window.

They exchange vows and rings, and the minister pronounces them man and wife. Nathan kisses his bride, and there is not a dry eye in the room.

…………………………..

Lily is at her locker when Jamie walks up to her. "Your grandpa is back in town," Lily tells him.

"Yeah I know I can't wait to see him. I'm sure my mom will invite him over tonight."

"That sounds cool."

"You know there is a part tonight."

She shrugs, "Okay."

"Oh come on stop being a nerd," Jamie teased her.

"I have a lot of studying to do, and Jenny is coming home," she wasn't much of a partier.

"I know, and she's coming to the party. You need to get a life Lily Scott."

She points at her books, "This is my life James Lucas Scott. Maybe you should try studying ever now and then."

………………………..

Back at the hospital Jamie is sitting with his head in his hands. "Hey baby," Becky rubs his back.

"I can't believe all of this is happening."

"They are all going to be fine."

"I hope you're right because our family can't take any more tragedy."

………………………

Chase walks over to Isabella. "It's going to be okay. Things are going to turn out different this time." She breaks down in his arms.

……………………

Summer and Jeremy are at home. "I feel like we should be at the hospital."

"They will call us when they have more news on Brooke."

Summer phone rings, and they both kind of laugh. "You have good timing. Hello dad, oh okay we're on our way."

"What's wrong?"

"Lily was in a car accident. It is really bad."

………………………

Lily is sitting at a lunch table by herself. Jeremy walks over to her. "Hey."

"Hey," she always got nervous around him.

"What's up?"

"Oh you know just studying," she smiled. She had the biggest crush on him, but he was the star of the basketball team, and she was just a nerd.

"Cool, can I sit here?"

"Sure," she was excited.

"So after the game tonight there is a big party. I was wondering if you were gonna go."

She smiled, "I um sure."

"Great I can't wait until tonight." He smiled.

She was so excited. She had always dreamed of dating Jeremy Williams, and now she might have her chance.

………………………………..

Elizabeth was at the vending machine when Ashton saw her. "What the hell are you doing here?" Ashton asked her.

"Brooke was hurt, and Lily was hurt, and everything is messed up right now."

"Everything but the fact that your boyfriend woke up this morning," Ashton told her.

Elizabeth shook her head, "My boyfriend is Noah. I waited for Tyler for months, and I'm finished with waiting."

"You don't have to wait anymore. He's awake."

"And he's not my boyfriend anymore," Elizabeth walked off. Ashton sighed. She had no idea what she was going to tell Tyler.

……………………………..

The doctor came in to see Jacey, "You can see your friend now," he told her.

"How did the surgery go?"

"We were able to remove the bullet, but there is still a chance for infection. We are going to watch her closely and make sure that her fever doesn't spike."

"But there's a chance," Jacey was scared.

"Breanne is still not out of the clear. I'm sorry."

Jacey was trying to hold back her tears.

The scene changes to Jacey walking into Breanne's hospital room. Jacey couldn't believe how pale and weak she looked. "Jacey," Breanne said weakly as she saw Jacey come in.

"Hi," she was trying to hold it together for her friend.

"Have you seen my little boy yet?"

"Not yet but I heard that he did so good. You're gonna be so proud of him."

"I need you to promise me something Jacey," Breanne had tears in her eyes.

"Anything."

"I need you to take care of my baby. Make sure that he has everything he could possibly ever want."

"You're gonna be able to do that Breanne. I know it."

"Jacey there's a chance that I could die, and I need you to promise me that you are going to take care of him. I trust you with him."

Jacey didn't want to say yes because then she would be admitting that Breanne might die. "Yes Breanne I'll take care of him if I have too, but I don't think that I'm gonna have too. I think you're going to be able to do that when you get better."

Breanne smiled, "You were always the optimistic one."

"I have to be for both of us."

"I want his name to be Carter Jace Michaels."

"I thought you had decided on something else."

"I had but Ryan always wanted his name to be Carter, and that's what is going to be." Breanne smiled. "Will you go see him for me please?"

"Yeah," Jacey finally let tears escape her eyes.

"Tell him that his mommy loves him very, very much."

"I will, but I think he already knows it."

…………………………….

Keith was sitting alone until Elizabeth sat beside him. "So you want to tell me why you're here?"

"My family is in trouble," he snapped at her.

"Why is there blood on your shirt?"

He took a deep breath, "It doesn't matter."

"It does matter Keith. What happened today?"

"I made a lot of mistakes Elizabeth, and I can't take them back."

"What did you do?"

He shook his head, "It doesn't matter."

"It does matter."

"Breanne could die, and if she does it will be all my fault."

Elizabeth was shocked. She hugged her brother tightly.

……………………………..

Jacey was in the NICU with baby Carter. He was absolutely beautiful. He looked a lot like Breanne. She touched his small hand, "Hey Carter, I'm your Aunt Jacey, and I wanted to tell you that everything is going to be okay. I promise. And your mommy loves you so much, and soon enough she's going to be in here with you telling you that herself."

………………………………

Keith is at home watching television when Dan comes in. "Hey big brother."

"Hey," Keith smiled. "I'm glad you're back little brother."

"Me too," Dan sat down beside him. "You know I've been thinking about a lot of things lately Keith, and I'm glad that we finally came to an understanding. I'm glad that we became close."

"Me too Dan, I always wanted us to be close."

"It took a lot of work, but I finally saw the error of my ways. I'm happy that you have let me be apart of Lily's life. She's an amazing girl."

Lily walks in, "I'm right on time."

"Hey there's my pretty girl," Keith gets up and hugs my daughter.

"Hey Uncle Dan."

"Hey Lily."

Lucas, Peyton, and a much younger Keith(But they call him Sawyer because Keith isn't dead in Lily's dream) and Elizabeth walk in. Peyton is pregnant. "Hey guys," Lily told them.

"Aunt Lily can we play in your room?" Sawyer asked. He is about ten.

"Sure go ahead but don't break anything."

"We won't we promise," Elizabeth and Sawyer run upstairs.

"They are too cute," Lily told their parents.

"Yeah well they are a handful," Peyton laughed.

"So Peyton do you know what you are having yet?" Dan asked.

"I'm having a little girl," Peyton told him.

"That's great."

"Yeah we're pretty happy about it," Lucas told them.

"Are you gonna leave the kids here tonight while you go out and celebrate your anniversary?" Keith asked.

"Yeah if that's okay," Peyton smiled.

"Of course."

"How many years has it been?" Dan asked.

"Eleven years today," Lucas smiled. "The happiest years of my life."

"Yeah well it took you long enough to finally admit that you loved me."

"I'm sorry okay. I didn't want to hurt Brooke."

"Yeah well I think you guys hurt Brooke anyways," Lily laughed.

"Lucas hasn't always been the smartest person when it comes to women."

"I have apologized to Brooke over and over again about the almost wedding."

"Me too," Peyton said. "But it's been eleven years and she still hasn't spoken to either one of us."

"Maybe one day, things have a way of working out sometimes," Lily told them. "Right dad?"

"Right baby girl." He looked back at Dan and nodded his head.

………………………………

Ashton walked back into Tyler's hospital room. "I thought you were getting Elizabeth."

"She's um busy, but she'll be here soon."

"Good I can't to see her," he smiled. "I fought for her, and I woke up for her."

………………………………

Lucas was still pacing back and forth when Spencer, Andy, and Michelle came in. Lucas looked at him angrily. "This is all your fault," he pushed Spencer.

"Lucas," Andy stepped in between them.

"He did this."

"Lucas," Peyton grabbed his shoulder.

"If she wouldn't have been with him she would be fine right now. I swear to God you better stay away from her, and you better hope she is okay because if she isn't you won't be either."

Lucas glared at him, and Spencer actually looked scared.

"Mr. Scott," doctor walked in.

"Yeah."

"Lily is out of surgery, but she is still unconscious."

"What does that mean?"

"She has a broken leg, we had to remove her spleen, but we're not sure the extent of her head trauma. We have to wait until she wakes up."

"She will wake up though, right?"

"We just have to give her time."

The doctor walked out of the room, and Peyton put her arm around Lucas' shoulder. She knew that it was going to be a long ride to Lily's recovery.

AN: Okay so in Lily's dream a lot of things are different. Keith didn't die in the shooting. Him and Dan made up. Lucas and Peyton didn't get together until after college. He stayed with Brooke and broke her heart when he said Peyton's name on the alter. Lily isn't the popular cheerleader.

I only have two or three more chapters left and then this part is over. I'm trying to get it finished today so hopefully i will.
