We set the date for the following winter, just three months later. I wanted to have a picturesque winter wedding. I envisioned myself walking through a snow flurry in a simple white gown. Maia was ecstatic that we were getting married. She was a little upset that we were moving back to Tree Hill, but I promised her that during the summer we would come back to Stars Hollow. I left my store to be run in the capable hands of my manager.
When the day of the wedding came it was nothing like I had thought it would be. Of course my dream wedding in the snow was instead a wedding on a record breaking warm day. The temperature was 60, but I didn't care. I was finally marrying Luke. We were finally going to be an official family. I had Haley as my bride's maid along with Maia. Matt and Nathan were Lucas's best men. The wedding was perfect even without the snow. My parents even came and my father gave me away. It was the first time I had seen them since Maia was about 3. They hadn't ever been too great at keeping in touch. I had made it on my own though, proving them wrong. Even though there was tension between us, it was nice to have them at my wedding. After the ceremony, which was held at Lorelai's inn, we danced the night away in true Tree Hill style. Everybody we knew and loved was there: Haley, Nathan and their little girls, Hannah and Grace and of course, Peyton was invited and she brought Jake, Jenny and Andrew. Karen came with Matt and even Dan came. Deb stopped by too, but left early. Lorelai and Rory were there of coarse too. They had been my saviors in Stars Hollow. Luke and I had a magical night, and the moment when we were introduced as Mr. and Mrs. Scott for the fist time, I felt like I was on top of the world. It was up there on my list of best moments: 1. Maia's birth, 2. Mine and Lucas's first kiss, and now being called Mrs. Scott.
We didn't want to move until after Maia finished the school year, so six months later in early July, we moved back to Tree Hill. We bought a house in the same neighborhood as Haley and Nathan lived. Our house was a small brick house with three bedrooms and a small yard. Lucas was busy writing another book, and I started up another store. In early September, just after Maia started school, I got news that would change our lives.
"Lucas, I think I'm pregnant."
"Really, I'm so excited Brooke." He said as he pulled me in for a hug and a kiss.
"I
have an appointment tomorrow if you want to come and find out."
"I
would never miss an appointment." I smiled. It was different having
him there, but it was the perfect kind of different.
Needless to say, I was pregnant and the baby was due in May. This was so exiting. I wanted to know what the sex of the baby was, but Lucas didn't so we didn't find out. Maia, now nine was excited to have a new brother or sister.
On the eve of May 9th, the new baby was born. She was perfect, ten little fingers and ten little perfect toes. Her eyes were mine, but she looked like Lucas.
"What
should we name her?" I asked Lucas.
"Lets
see, Emma?"
"No, she doesn't really look like an Emma. How
about Sarah?"
"No, she is far too blond to be a Sarah. Every
Sarah I know has dark hair. How about Jane?"
"Jane is too
boring. What about Jamie?"
"Jamie
just reminds me of Jimmy, and that reminds me of Jimmy Edwards, and
he killed Keith."
"So
no?"
"No."
