Chapter 39-For Blue Skies
"Where on earth are they? It only takes 10 minutes to get here" Peyton said
"I don't know, I hope something didn't happen to them" Haley replied, looking at the entrance of Tric worryingly, thinking of her own wedding day.
"I bet I can guess where they are" Rachel said, raising her eyebrows
Peyton looked at Rachel before realisation dawned on her.
"Oh come on!" she replied
"What?" Haley asked
"Well they are probably busy getting busy" Rachel said
"Oh god" Haley said, closing her eyes momentarily.
"Hey everyone their limousine in approaching" Mouth said of the PA
"Finally!" Rachel exclaimed
"It's my pleasure to finally introduce, Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Scott" Mouth spoke over the PA.
Lucas and Brooke walked in, hand in hand, their hair slightly tussled, both grinning widely.
"Told you" Rachel muttered as the group watched the couple take to the center of the floor. The spot light centered on the newly married couple, as music started playing in the club.
"Hey I forgot to ask you what song you picked" Brooke said as she pecked Lucas on the lips.
"It's a surprise" he said, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"You know how much I like surprises, Mr. Scott" she murmured as they started dancing
"I do at that, Mrs. Scott"
Blue Skies played through the club as the couple began to sway to the music
"Why did you choose this one?" Brooke asked surprised as she rested her head on his shoulder
"Because it was the moment I knew that you were the only one I could ever love"
It's
been a long year
Since
we last spoke
How's
your halo?
Just
between you and I
"It's taken us a really long time to get here, you know?" Brooke said, looking into Lucas' eyes
"God I know, but I don't think I would change it for the world" Lucas said pensively
"Really? Change the cheating and lying? The fighting?" she asked
You
and me and the satellites
I
never believed you
I
only wanted to
Before
all of this
What
did I miss?
Do
you ever get homesick?
"No, because if we didn't go through what we did, we might not have ended up here" Lucas replied
"I don't believe that for a minute"Brooke exclaimed
"You don't?" Lucas asked
"I don't, because we are meant to be, Broody, plain and simple"
I
can't get used to it
I
can't get used to it
I'll
never get used to it
I'll
never get used to it
I'm
under that night
I'm
under those same stars
We're
in a red car
You
asleep at my side
Lucas chuckled as he twirled Brooke across the floor
"What?" Brooke asked self consciously
"I just remember when I found you in the back seat of my car junior year"
"Oh that" Brooke replied "Well I figured I needed you to take notice me"
"Believe me; you didn't need to strip in my car to do that"
I
forgive you
I'll
forgive you
I'll
forgive you
I
forgive you
"I love you, Lucas Eugene Scott"
"I love you more, Brooke Penelope Scott"
"You know, they seem more in love then they did when we were 16" Rachel said
"And thanks to your skanky ass, they would have been together a lot sooner." Peyton replied. Haley shot her a look. "Kidding. Mostly" she said
"Hey girls, we need to go sit down. Speeches are about to start" Nathan said as Lucas led Brooke towards to the wedding party's table. Each table was draped in white and burgundy material, with giant thrones standing in the middle of the wedding party's table.
Peyton and Haley walked towards the stage, as the chatter of the guests died down.
"So we are the maids of honor" Peyton said into the microphone
"And we just have a few words to say about Brooke and Lucas" Haley said "Shakespeare said 'The course of true love never did run smooth.' and we all know that Brooke and Luke can attest to that." she continued
"Brooke and Lucas, or Brucas as they are affectionately known, were meant to be from the first time Brooke called dibs on him at Lucas' first basketball game for the Ravens"Peyton said, winking a Brooke.
"Hey I didn't know that!" Lucas said, as he kissed his wife.
"What can I say husband, you are easy on the eyes" Brooke replied
"And who could forget the 84 letters that Brooke wrote Lucas the summer in California" Haley continued
"But what we are trying to say is, no matter how many love triangles Brucas were involved in, Brooke and Lucas seemed to gravitate back towards each other."
"And without that, they wouldn't have their beautiful daughter, Ella" Haley continued.
"So, please raise your glasses to Brooke and Lucas, a couple that can endure anything" Peyton finished
Nathan made his way to the stage, stopping briefly to kiss Haley on the cheek and continued to walk to the microphone.
"Now, everyone knows that Lucas and I didn't have the easiest start. As for Brooke, we have known each other since kindergarten, isn't that right, Davis?"
Brooke visibly rolled her eyes at Nathan.
"These two knuckleheads wouldn't have found each other if it weren't for me and the Ravens"
"The Ravens and I" Haley called out from the corner of the stage
"Anyway if it wasn't for the Ravens, Brooke and Lucas may never have found each other. If Luke didn't join the Ravens, he wouldn't have become popular, got the attention of Brooke, and the rest is history. And to think if Brooke and Lucas hadn't have met, Luke and Haley might be married right now".
"Trust your brother to turn his best man speech into something about basketball"Brooke muttered
"I know, but I wouldn't have it any other way"Lucas replied
"Seriously? You boys and your basketball!"
"So congrats to my big brother and little sis"Nathan concluded
"God, I'm related to him now?" Brooke muttered rolling her eyes once more.
"I guess, but doesn't that also mean that you are related to Haley?" Lucas reminded her
"Ohhh yay!!" Brooke said, clapping her hands excitedly
Peyton, Haley and Nathan made their way down from the stage as Mouth started the music again.
"Daddy!" Ella cried as she ran towards her parents
"Hey baby girl" Lucas exclaimed, picking up his daughter and placing her on his lap
"What's wrong, El?" Brooke said, stroking her daughter's head softly
"Jamie said I look like a lollipop" she said brooding considerably, just like her father.
"But you look like a very cute lollipop" Lucas replied
"Dadd-y" she replied, "I'm not a lollipop, I'm a princess!"
Brooke giggled at her daughters reply as she rested her head on Lucas' shoulder
"Ella is so your daughter" Lucas laughed
"Goodness don't they look like the perfect family?" Karen said, as she watched from afar. Brooke had rested her head on Lucas' shoulder and Ella was curled up in his lap.
"They do. Did you think that he would choose Brooke all those years ago?" Deb asked, knowing the drama that had surrounded Lucas' relationships with Brooke, Peyton and Rachel.
"I had no doubt" Karen said, as she took a photo of the couple.
"!" Peyton called from the dance floor
"Hmm?" the bride replied over the music
"Get your butt out onto this dance floor right now!" Peyton answered as the opening bars of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun played over the loud speakers.
"You want to come?" Brooke asked as she got up from her seated position. "We can put Ella in Peyton's office with the rest of the sleeping brood"
"Nah, that's ok." He said, kissing his wife on the lips, trying not to disturb Ella who had fallen asleep in his lap.
"I'll be back soon" Brooke said as she walked towards the dance floor, the dress trailing behind her.
Brooke, Peyton and Haley danced for a few songs, mainly 90's songs that they hadn't heard in years. Brooke felt a tap on her shoulder as the opening bars of Wonderwall began to play.
Mouth's voice boomed over the PA once more.
"Brooke and Lucas would like to invite all couples onto the floor to share their song"
"May I have this dance?" Lucas asked
"You may" she said, giggling
The couple danced in sync, only having eyes for one another. Around the room, couples began to join the newly married couple on the floor. Peyton and Jake danced to their left, and Nathan and Haley to the right. Lucas looked around the club briefly, he could see Mouth and Shelley dancing awkwardly around her baby bump, Skills and Bevin almost dirty dancing in the corner of the club and Rachel and Cooper laughing as he twirled her around in circles, as well as Lilly and Ella both dancing on top of Karen and Keith's shoes, respectively.
Lucas held onto Brooke's waist tighter, as he continued to dance with her. He looked at his bride, his Brooke, and couldn't imagine anyone else sharing this day with him.
"Brooke?"
"Hmm?"
"I will always love you, Pretty Girl"
"I will always love you too, Broody"
"Where are you and Daddy going, Mommy?" Ella asked as her lip started to tremble.
"Daddy and I are going on a little holiday. Remember when I said you are going to stay with Nanny Karen?"
"Yeah?" Ella replied
"Well your Daddy and I will only be gone a week, and I promise we will bring you back lots of presents"Brooke said, kissing Ella on the top of the head.
"You promise?"Ella asked
"I promise. Now give Mommy and Daddy a hug." The small girl gave each parent a hug and ran towards her grandma.
A single tear slipped down Brooke's cheek as she watched Ella talked animatedly with Jamie and Lily
"It's ok, Cheery, we will be back in a week" Lucas reminded his wife
"I know but I miss her already"
"Where are you guys going anyway?" Rachel asked
"New Zealand actually" Lucas replied
"Really, isn't it winter there?" Haley asked
"Exactly" Brooke replied, smiling widely.
Haley and Peyton hugged Brooke, as Nathan and Jake packed Lucas' mustang with their entire luggage.
"Miss you, " Peyton said as she hugged her best friend
"Miss you too P. Jagielski" Brooke, "Thank you, for everything" she said as she hugged Haley and got into the mustang as Lucas opened the door.
"Bye everyone" Brooke and Lucas chorused as they drove off. Beer cans rattling behind the car with "Just Married" painted on the back.
"They finally made it" Haley said as they waved at the married couple
"They finally did" Peyton replied.
