Authors Note:
Thanks for the reviews! And here's some info about me. I am 14 years old and attending school. I have never been and don't plan on becoming pregnant anytime soon, nor do I have cancer, so I'm not sure how all that happens but I'm doing research! Thanks please R&R! (There is also some Naley in this chapter!)
Brooke shifted in her seat. She looked at him confusedly. He had a serious expression on his face, he wasn't kidding. Brooke felt her heart beat faster and faster. She loved Lucas, but was he the one she would spend the rest of her life with? Oh who was she kidding? She was having his baby for god sakes.
"Lucas...I..." She said. Lucas smiled. "Brooke, I love you. Will you marry me?" Brooke felt tears fall down her eyes. She nodded. Maybe this was the best thing. "Yes." She whispered and Lucas smiled. They kissed and embraced for several moments, Lucas letting Brooke cry tears of happiness on his shoulder.
The next day was Nathan and Haley's wedding. Everyone that was anyone was gathered at their wedding. Peyton had planned to leave the wedding party early to go to the doctor, who hopefully had good news. She was dressed in a silver gown that went down to her knees, with frilly things on the sleeves.
Jake was dressed in the normal tuxedo and jacket. All that day he was trying to forget that the girl he loved could be dying. But seriously, how do you forget that? He did his tie as he heard Peyton come out of the bathroom. Jake smiled. She looked so beautiful. Peyton grinned. "Shhh...Remember the last time you saw me in a dress?" She asked, and Jake chuckled.
"So, uh...It's a good thing were taking it slow right?"
"Yeah...slow."
"Yeah..."
Jake looked back on that memory and smiled. He took her hand as they walked to the car. He opened the door for her then walked into his side. Peyton could tell he was trying so hard to forget. The drive to the church was insanely quiet, until Peyton spoke up.
"So, are we gonna tell people?" Peyton asked suddenly. Jake, knowing exactly what she meant but trying to avoid the subject, asked, "What?" Peyton clutched his hand. "Are we gonna tell people about me?" She asked holding his hand and caressing it.
Jake looked at her, then back at the road. "I think we should keep it quiet for now." Peyton nodded. Maybe it was better that way. But how long could she pretend for?
As Peyton and Jake were driving to the church, Brooke and Lucas were still at home. Brooke couldn't find anything that fit and she was starting to get frustrated. She started to cry as she threw the last dress on the ground. Lucas walked in and saw how distressed she was. He walked over to her.
"Hey pretty girl, what's wrong?" Brooke looked at him sternly. "You know, maybe Rachel was right. Maybe I do have a fat ass considering I cannot fit into ANYTHING!" She said throwing a hanger across the room. "Woah!" Lucas said as the hanger hit the wall beside him.
"Woah, Brooke calm down." Brooke looked at him again. "Calm down? Clam down?! I can't wear anything I want, I'm freaking huge, and I have to pee every 2 seconds!" Lucas chuckled. "Lucas this is not funny!" Brooke said sitting down on the couch. "Brooke, come on there has to be something you can fit onto." Brooke nodded. "Yeah there is but it makes me look even fatter!" Brooke cried holding her face in her hands.
"Hey, Brooke come on. You look beautiful no matter what you wear. You know that. Please go to the wedding. No body will care what you wear because you'll still look like Brooke Davis."
Brooke nodded. "Yeah Brooke Davis the 17 year old knocked up cheerleader." Lucas frowned. "Stupid pregnant women hormones..." He muttered under his breath.
Brooke and Lucas arrived a half an hour later. Brooke, finding a dress that still fit was showing off a slight baby bump. Adults that were there looked at her disgustedly. Brooke frowned.
Peyton and Jake were sitting in an isle when they saw Brooke and Lucas. "Hey! Brooke, Luke! Over here!" Peyton waved as Brooke and Lucas joined them. Lucas sitting beside Jake and Brooke sitting beside Peyton.
Soon, the service started and Nathan walked up the isle, closely follwed by Haley. "We are gathered here today..." The priest started but Brooke tuned him out. She was going to be up there in a couple months, getting married to Lucas.
Peyton looked up at the alter and saw a tear slip down Haley's cheek. She smiled. She was going to be up there getting married to Jake soon. If she was okay that is. She promised herself and Jake that no matter what happened, she would always love Jake and Jenny. No matter what. And she would always be there for both of them.
"...But today I choose to listen, to the vows they have written for one another. Nathan?" The priest asked as Brooke and Peyton listened again.
"Haley." Nathan started. "I remember the first time we got married on the sun rise. The cool breeze blowing your beautiful red hair. And I knew at that very moment I was going to spend the rest of my life with you. And sure, we may have our doubts, and sure, we may have our fights. But no matter what I will always love you. Your mine forever."
Those last three words snapped something in Brooke's brain.
"So go ahead just read the last line!"
"Your mine forever? That sound pretty damn good to me."
"Yeah it sounds good. It sounded even better the first time I read it. In another letter you wrote. To Peyton!"
Brooke remembered that fight. The night she lost herself within him. They fought, and then made love in the rain. She'll never forget the 4 reasons why he loves her.
"Because you kink your eyebrows, when you're trying to be cute. You quote Kamu even though I've never actually seen you read, and because you miss your parents but you'll never ever admit that. And because, were both, gonna get pneumonia, but if you need to hear why I love you, I can go on all night."
Brooke smiled. She wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. She just hoped he felt the same way.
And he did.
"Haley?" The priest asked. "Nathan. Lucas and I were best friends in sophomore year. But we always knew there was another Scott. But one thing I didn't know was that I was going to fall in love with you. But I did. And as long as I'm with you I never wanna go home again. I just wanna be with you. I love you, Nathan."
"I never wanna go home again..." Those words hit Peyton right in the stomach. She remembered that night in Savannah and shivered. Jake took her hand and she smiled. Everything was okay now, right?
During the wedding party, Peyton had to leave. Jake had decided to go with her. He was her fiancé after all.
They entered the hospital. The doctors informed Peyton she had to have an ultra sound. She complied. She lied down with Jake in the chair beside her as she felt the cold jelly be applied.
The doctor looked confusedly at the screen. "Well..." He started. "I don't see any signs of cancerous materials...but I have to ask you a question." Peyton nodded as Jake looked at her confusedly. "Okay." She said.
"Do you know you're pregnant?" He asked.
