1 year later:
"Can you just stop moving for a second?" Asked Haley with slight annoyance in her voice. "I'll never succeed to lace this damn dress up if you don't stop."
"Damn dress?" Asked Brooke with disbelief. "You're hurting me little sis!" She added in mock hurt "This dress is perfect! And it fits me to perfection! What do you think goldilocks?" Asked Brooke getting Peyton's attention, while still keeping her eyes on her own reflection.
"You're perfect!" Said Peyton with a smile. "If Lucas wasn't about to marry you already I'm sure he would propose all over again. Don't you think Glenda?" Asked Peyton to the last bridesmaid.
"Yeah!" She said nodding positively. "You 're absolutely stunning." She added sincerely.
"I know!!" Squealed Brooke.
Hearing such a squeal made the three other girls laugh.
"So Jenny bee…" Said Peyton looking at the little girl in the beautiful pink dress. "Do you remember what you've got to do?" Peyton asked kneeling to rearrange the little girl's halo.
"I'm not a baby anymore…I'm four!" Said Jenny showing four fingers.
"Yeah you are baby." Said Peyton with nostalgia. "You're growing up so fast!"
"So Brooke…" Asked Haley who finally succeeded in lacing the back of the dress. "Ready to get married."
"I can't wait any longer!" Said Brooke excitedly. "I just need a minute," she said sitting down.
"Okay…." Said Haley kneeling beside Brooke. "You know everything will be fine right?"
Brooke nodded positively. "Just one minute," she repeated. "I can't believe we made it you know…" She whispered to her sister.
"I know, but you were the one who told me that people who are meant to be always find their way at the end," Said Haley taking her hand. "We'll wait outside, just open the door when you're ready to go okay?"
"Yeah…Okay…Thanks." Said Brooke smiling at her three friends and Jenny.
Once they were outside Glenda looked at Haley. "Where are the little angels?" Asked Glenda curiously.
"Oh they're at home with the babysitter." Said Haley with a laugh. "It's not a good idea to bring twin one year olds to a wedding." She added shaking her head.
"Yeah..." Said Peyton nodding. "Especially Daniel! He has the same big mouth as his Aunt Brooke." She added a bit more loudly for Brooke to hear.
"Hey! I heard that!" Shouted Brooke from behind the door. She looked at herself in the mirror. "You're good enough…. He loves you…. Everything will be fine." She whispered to her reflection before turning around and opening the door.
"I'm ready," she said with some apprehension in her voice.
--MEANWHILE--
"So man you ready to be in the married with kids club?" Nathan joked not noticing Lucas' face drain of color as Jake looked between the two in confusion.
"Wh…What…Brookes preg…pregnant?" Lucas stuttered with his eyes wide in fear as he looked between his two groomsmen.
"Yea with triplets," Nathan said biting the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing at Lucas' look of horror before winking at Jake to let him know he was kidding.
"You didn't know?" Jake questioned feigning shock. "Crap Nathan now we're going to get in trouble. Brooke told Haley and Peyton we weren't suppose to say anything to Lucas," Jake said putting his head in his hand so Lucas couldn't see the huge smile on his face.
"3…3 babies?" Lucas asked holding up 3 fingers in disbelief, before sitting down. "But…I…we…were going to spend time being married without kids for a while…but now 3…wow," Lucas said shocked.
"You know having a kid isn't too bad," Jake defended.
"Yea watching Haley when she breastfed the babies was pretty sexy," Nathan agreed remembering how she wouldn't wear a bra when they were in the apartment so it was easier access for him.
"Gross dude she's like my sister," Jake said his face scrunched in disgust.
"Yea mine too," Lucas said feeling that any moment he was about to puke.
"Oh get over it," Nathan said rolling his eyes. "Just think if Brooke is anything like Haley she'll be extremely horny, but watch out for those mood swings and then the crying at all hours of the night. You remember that part don't you Jake?" Nathan asked looking to his left.
"I don't remember the horny part, but the crying was worse cause Jenny had colic and man she had a good set of lungs on her and I only had one. The screaming had to be worse for you Nathan you had two," Jake said remembering the screaming and no sleep.
"But…Brooke's going to have 3," Lucas said holding three fingers up before whimpering.
Just then there was a knock on the door. "5 minutes men," the voice said poking their head in before disappearing.
"Well lets get you married," Nathan said with a smile as he started walking out the door as Lucas was just sitting there with his head in his hands mumbling to himself.
Nathan nodded at Jake to go before he stopped and turned around. "By the way Brooke's not pregnant at least not yet," Nathan smirked before shrugging his shoulders and running away from the room as Lucas shot up. "You ass," Lucas screamed running after his cousin. Jake just stood their laughing as he took his place by Nathan while Lucas glared at them.

They were all in the room waiting for the band new James-Scott couple. Haley was keeping an eye on one of the tables where Glenda and Damien were talking quite actively.
She smiled. I knew I was right to sit them together, She thought happily.
Nathan walked beside her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I love you," He said with a smile kissing her neck.
"Hmmm…I love you too," she said putting her hand on top of his, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Please welcome for the first time Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Scott!" Mouth announced since he was the DJ for the wedding.
They all clapped their hands and it was easy to see that Lucas and Brooke were blissfully happy.
"They're so cute!" Said Haley against her husband's shoulder.
"Yeah they are," he said hugging her tighter. "Do you regret it?" He asked curiously.
"Regret what?" Haley asked confused.
"The way we got married…I mean you deserved a big wedding in front of everyone and I didn't give you that." He told her sadly.
Haley turned around to face her husband; she couldn't believe he would say something like that. "Nathan no!" She almost shouted. "I loved our wedding. It was the best day of my life…. Well…until our babies of course." She added with a smile. "The only thing that mattered was standing there with my eyes in yours. I don't care about all the fuss, I never did." She cupped his cheeks with her hands and stood on her tiptoes to give him a chaste kiss. "You make me happy and that's all that matters. I love every single day with you Nathan."
"How did I get that so lucky?" Asked Nathan with tears in his eyes hugging his wife tight.
"It helps that you're hot!" She said winking to her husband.
They laughed together walking to the newlywed table to congratulate the new couple.
"So I'm not the only James-Scott," Haley told her sister jokingly bumping into her hip lightly.
"Actually you still are," Brooke said looking at Lucas. "I decided to just go Brooke Scott, Brooke James-Scott is too long to write," Brooke joked.
"Man you missed Lucas freaking out," Nathan told Brooke and Haley while Lucas's face turned crimson.
"Broody you freaked out about us getting married? Did you not want to get married?" Brooke asked freaking out herself.
"No someone said we were having triplets," Lucas mumbled while glaring at his cousin.
"Nathan Royal Scott why would you try to scare Lucas?" Brooke said shooting daggers at Nathan with her hand on her hip.
"Cause it was fun," Nathan smirked before Brooke slapped him upside the head.
"Ow Brooke what the hell was that for?" Nathan asked rubbing the back of his head as Haley reached up to start massaging it. Sure it wasn't right for Nathan to do that but she didn't have to hit him so hard she thought.
"She hit me really hard," Nathan pouted giving Haley his puppy dog eyes as she leaned up to kiss him.
"I know baby," She told him rubbing his head letting her hands get caught in his hair forgetting about the two in front of them.
"So will you make it up to me later?" He whispered huskily in her ear the sound of his voice and hot breath made her moan at the contact.
"Damn you just had two kids and you're at a wedding calm yourselves you two horn dogs. It should be me and Broody who are all over each other. Broody you better come kiss me right now," Brooke ordered with a dimpled smile.
"Gladly," Lucas said before kissing her passionately.
"Hey guys," Peyton and Jake said walking up to the group.
"Oh my god," Brooke screeched seeing Peyton's hand as the 5 covered their ears.
"What the hell Brooke?" Haley questioned.
"That," Brooke said pointing to the diamond ring on Peyton's left hand. "P. Sawyer you're getting married!!" Brooke yelled, as everyone looked their way.
"Girl time," Brooke said pulling Peyton and Haley away from the guys. "Now gimme the details!!" Brooke said excitedly.
"Come on Brooke you just got married!! Don't you want to spend some time with your brand new husband," Peyton asked trying to avoid the details.
"Quit stalling now spill Sawyer soon to be Jagielski."
"Fine," Peyton said throwing her hands up in the air in exasperation. "He proposed last night," Peyton said before Haley interrupted her.
"Geez Brooke you must be losing your touch. You couldn't tell when Nathan and I got married and now it took you this long to notice Peyton's engagement ring?" Haley said with a smile while holding in her laughter.
"Shut up, yours I couldn't see your ring and earlier I was more worried about my wedding duh?" Brooke said with a pout on her lips.
"Hey quit picking on my wife," Lucas said walking over and wrapping his arms around Brooke as Peyton and Haley looked at each other and rolled their eyes.
"My husband my hero," Brooke said chuckling softly as her love adorned eyes locked onto his.
"Well I guess its true, love does make you blind," Peyton snorted at Lucas being a hero.
"Nice," Haley agreed laughing at Brooke glaring at Peyton.
"Hey Luke, Mouth wanted me to tell you its almost time for your first dance," Jake said walking up to the newlyweds.
"Would Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Scott please come to the floor for their first dance as husband and wife," Mouth spoke into the microphone.
"May I have this dance Mrs. Scott?" Lucas asked cheekily holding out his hand.
"I'd love to Mr. Scott," Brooke said giddily taking his hand as he led them to the floor.
All I am, All I'll be
Everything in this world
All that I'll ever need I'd in your eyes
Shining at me
When you smile I can feel
All my passion unfolding
Your hand brushes mine
And a thousand sensations seduce
Me
Cause I
I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will, love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to
You
If your asking do I love you this much
I do
The two danced as Brooke looked in Lucas' eyes both radiating happiness and love. The crowd watched as they saw the magic surrounding the couple. They had put their relationship through hardships, but everyone in that room could see how much they loved each other. This was one couple that would make it forever.
In my world, before you
I lived outside my emotions
Didn't know where I was going
'Til that day I found you
How you opened my life to a new paradise
In a world torn by change
Still with all my heart
'Til my dieing day
"You know that verse is so true for us Lucas because I don't know where I would be without you. I love you so much," Brooke said emotionally tearing up as Lucas pulled her closer.
"I love you too cheery. I'll love you forever," He told her honestly.
I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will, love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to
You
If your asking do I love you this much
I do
"I'm going to go get us some drinks ok?" Nathan whispered.
"Ok hurry back," She told him still watching her sister dancing as the song ended.
"Mr. and Mrs. Scott would now like everyone to join them on the dance floor," Mouth said putting on kiss from a rose by seal.
Ba da ba da da da ah ya ya...
There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and,
The light that you shine can be seen.
"Dance with me," Peyton question Jake as he nodded and led them to the dance floor leaving Haley swaying while waiting for her husband.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh,
The more I get of you
Ooh
Stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
"So I got the adoption papers," Jake confided as he saw a smile light up on Peyton's face before she kissed him senseless.
"I can't wait to be her mother on paper," Peyton sighed happily.
"Daddy, mommy," Jenny said pulling on Peyton's dress. "Up" she ordered.
Just 6 months ago Jenny had started calling Peyton mom, and at first it shocked the two adults but since then they reveled in the thought of their little family. "Come here" Jake said picking her up as the three danced together as a family.
Haley smiled as she saw the little family before spotting Damien and Glenda sitting a few feet away from where she was standing so she made her way over whispering in Damien's ear. "Ask Glenda to dance, put your heart on the line," She told him before walking away a smile on her face.
You remain,
you...
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.. yeah.
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
"Wow what's a beautiful woman doing not on the dance floor?" A man with dirty blonde hair asked coming up next to her.
"My husband's getting me a drink," She told the stranger politely.
"Well he shouldn't leave a woman with your beauty alone." He told her as she blushed.
"I'll tell him that." Haley said keeping an eye out for Nathan.
"May I have this dance?" He asked her holding out his hand his gray eyes pleading.
"I don't know," Haley said pursing her lips together in thoughts.
"I promise just one dance please," He begged.
"Okay," Haley caved walking to the dance floor with him following her. She put one hand on his upper arm while the other took his, making sure to put enough distance between them.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Been kissed from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
stranger it feels, yeah.
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey,
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey,
I've been kissed by a rose
Been kissed by a rose on the grey.
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey,
And if I should fall, at all
After getting the drinks Nathan turned around and looked for Haley before spotting her on the dance floor. That guys hands way to close to my wife's butt, he thought with jealously before putting the drinks on their table and making his way to the dance floor.
I've been kissed by a rose
Been kissed by a rose on the grey.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
there's so much inside.
"So may I have a kiss from the beautiful rose I'm dancing with?" The stranger asked flirtatiously.
"I'm married," Haley said looking at him in disbelief and pulling away.
"I won't tell if you don't," He told her raising an eyebrow not noticing the raven hair man standing next to Haley.
"I don't think so," Nathan said coldly wrapping his arm around Haley's waist possessively as she soothingly ran her arm up and down his back to try and calm him.
"Then you shouldn't have left her alone," The man said walking away as Nathan clenched his jaw in anger.
"Baby look at me. The only man I want to kiss is you," Haley told him grabbing his face so he could see the honesty in her eyes.
"I'm just scared I'll lose you again," Nathan told her his arms wrapped around her waist as they swayed to the music and he inhaled her vanilla scented hair.
You remain
you...
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
"You'll never lose me," She told him stroking his cheek lovingly. "You know why?" She asked biting her lip.
"Why?" He asked curious to what she would say.
"Because we're always and forever," She said smiling as he captured her lips with his in an earth-shattering kiss.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
stranger it feels.
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you
"I love you Haley James Scott," He told her pulling away from the kiss.
"I love you too Nathan," She told him cuddling closer to his hard chest and listening to the beat of his heart.
Stranger it feels, yeah
stranger it feels. yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
"Love me enough for me to get lucky tonight?" Nathan asked with a smirk.
"Maybe," Haley said seductively while kinking an eyebrow.
"Than we should leave now," He told her trying to pull her off the dance floor.
"Not yet," She told him pulling her back to him and wrapping her arms around his neck.
"I'll make it worth it," He told her huskily sending sparks through her body.
"2 more hours and then we can go," Haley compromised desperately wanting to feel her husband buried inside her.
"Deal," Nathan said kissing her forehead and holding her.
