Brooke left two days later, on Thursday, and the two had already done the paperwork necessary for getting their marriage license on that Friday. The more they thought about it, and the longer Brooke was there, the more they wanted this for themselves.

Brooke talked of dresses and cakes and reception halls and the city, and it all just brushed off Peyton's shoulders with the knowledge that this wedding would be just for their family and friends and not really for them. Brooke took her relaxed nature to be just Peyton being Peyton, having never been one for the formalities and frivolous things that come along with weddings.

Friday morning, they woke in each other's arms, as always just as the sun chose to make it's appearance through the blinds in their bedroom.

"So, Peyton Scott, huh?"

"Not until this afternoon..." she says, playfully smacking him across the chest and then sneaking a kiss to his chin.

"Tell me this... does the fun go out of the bedroom once we're married?" he asks, running his hands underneath the covers to trail over her body.

"I don't know, but just in case, we should probably make the most of our last few hours as an engaged couple, shouldn't we?" she says in a mocking serious tone.

"I certainly agree Miss Sawyer."

He leans down to kiss her, placing his body over hers in that seductive way that drove her crazy. Slowly they took away the barriers between them, their breath getting heavy as they continued the dance that they had perfected in these past months.

Of course, nothing was ever perfect, since right when they were about to hit that oh so wonderful moment, the door swung open and a young Jamie Scott entered the room.

"Good morning!" he screams, thinking that he was being funny by waking them up.

Lucas' initial reaction was to drop over Peyton as fast as he could, which caused a slightly embarrassing and not pleasurable moan to escape her mouth.

"What are you guys doing?"

Peyton had started to laugh as Lucas turned his head to face his nephew, "You know what? Jamie why don't you go get some bowls and spoons out and we'll all eat some cereal for breakfast?"

"Okay!" he says, running back out of the room and not questioning anything that he did or did not see.

Peyton, still laughing just started to laugh harder in that moment.

"I'm glad that you think that this is so funny."

"Seriously, Luke? That is the third time that the two of us have been walked in on while we were having sex! And we haven't been together a year! You think someone is trying to tell us something?"

"I don't know, but this totally sucks..." he says, rolling off of her and realizing that the mood was basically gone.

She turned to face him, placing a hand on his chest and kissing him chastely. "Just be glad that you're marrying me... cause I'm pretty sure that what we started will get to have an end at some point..."

"And now?"

"Now, we need to put our pajamas back on and go eat cereal with our nephew, because he is probably going to be coming in here again if we don't get out there soon."

Right on cue, Jamie chose that moment to call out to them to say that the bowls and spoons were ready for their cereal.

As they finished up their cereal, it was time to get into what they were going to do that day, but the couple insisted that it be a surprise to Jamie, partially because they thought he would get a kick out of it being presented as such, and partially because they knew that the longer her knew, the more of a chance there was that someone would find out.

"Jamie, why don't you go get your nice khakis on and a dress shirt?" Peyton asks him after grabbing his bowl and putting it into the dishwasher.

"Why? Where are we going?"

"You'll just have to wait and find out!" Lucas says, picking him up and the pointing him in the direction of his room.

"And you need to go get ready yourself Miss Sawyer, because I know that there is a beautiful dress in that closet just begging to be worn by my beautiful bride."

"Why don't I get ready in our room, and you and Jamie get ready in the other bathroom? That way I can have some mystery with the groom not seeing his bride before the wedding."

"Sounds fine to me. I'll grab my suit and leave you to it."

Of course, leaving her to it meant giving Peyton a good few hours to get herself ready. Which of course meant that the boys had to keep themselves amused by playing yet another round of basketball on the Xbox. Looking at his watch again while they were playing, Lucas told Jamie to go see what was taking her so long.

"Aunt Pey...woah..." he starts, and then stops when he sees her walk into the room. "You look really pretty Aunt Peyton."

"You think so?" she says, bending down to his level.

"Yeah... Uncle Lucas, doesn't she look pretty?"

Lucas presses pause on the game and turns to see the person who had stolen his heart, realizing she would steal it away every single day that she spent with him. The dress was simple, an off white, strapless sundress that fit all of her curves perfectly. A silver chain sat around her neck and her hair fell in long curls past her shoulders.

When he met her eyes for the first time, he knew that she was sending him the same amount of adoration that he was sending her, admiring the person that he chose to spend the rest of his life with.

"Peyton, you look beautiful..."

She blushes, embarrassed that he can make her blush like that with just his words.

"You aren't too bad yourself, Scott."

"You ready for this?"

She just nods, looking down at Jamie, who hadn't said much since she came into the family room.

"Where are we going?"

Lucas picks him up and places him on the kitchen counter, right at eye level for the pair to talk to him.

"Jamie, we want you to keep a very very big secret for us."

"Really?!" he asks, excited already.

"Yup. You, me, and Peyton are the only people that can EVER know about what we are going to go do today... you got it?"

"uh huh... what are we doing?"

"Your Uncle Lucas and I are going to get married."

"I knew that! And Brooke and Grandma Karen and Andy and everybody knows that... that isn't a secret."

"Well we know that you know that part, and that we're going to have our wedding and the party in March, but we decided that we wanted to do something special with just the three of us."

"Okay..." he says, still not understanding what they were doing.

"So, we are going to get married today. And the other wedding is just going to be like a pretend wedding for everyone else to have fun."

"Really? I don't have to go to school?"

"You think you can keep it a secret?" Peyton asks, nodding her head as she does so, and laughing about the fact that he was probably more excited that he didn't have to go to school than getting to see his Aunt and Uncle get married.

"Why does it need to be a secret?"

"Well, because we don't want anyone to be mad that they didn't get to see us get married, and we know that everybody wants to have a big huge party for getting married."

"So then why do you want to have two weddings?"

"Your Uncle Lucas and I just want it to be about the three of us. We are a family now, and we don't need anybody else to know it but us, and we want you to be there because you are a huge part of this family now. The wedding and the party aren't that important, but this is."

"Okay... this is cool... it's like a spy operation."

Lucas laughs, picking him up off the counter and telling him to get into the car. After watching him walk through the door to the garage, he pulls her to him.

"For the record, Peyton Sawyer, you do look absolutely beautiful."

"Well, thank you... are you sure about this whole thing?"

"I am. Are you?" he asks, and she nods in response, "I just hope he doesn't spill the beans, at least until March."

"Yeah, this could be interesting."

"You know what though?"

"Hmm?" she says, turning back to him as she was already on her way to the door.

"Haley and Nathan would have loved this..."

"Why?"

"They basically did the same thing, realizing that what they had was a lot more important than a big party or huge ceremony. And I think that they would be happy that Jamie gets to be a big part of this too."

"You think that if they were still here, we would be doing this?"

He places his hands on her hips, and looks into her eyes then, allowing all his feelings to surface, "I would have proposed soon, without a doubt. I would have probably gotten just as impatient with waiting to marry you. And Brooke would have probably driven you to want to elope eventually anyways."

She laughs, knowing that the last part is totally true if this past week was any indication. "I love you Luke."

"And I love you." he says, kissing her like he didn't get to finish kissing her that morning.

With a door slam, Jamie enters the house again, "Come ON! Don't you want to get married?"

With a laugh in his direction, they left, and a few hours later, Peyton Sawyer became Peyton Scott. No one was to know that they had gotten married, at least no one that they knew. She wore her wedding band on a necklace around her neck, but still proudly wore her engagement ring, which they had engraved with the real wedding date the next morning.

The next few months was filled with wedding planning, mainly by Brooke, and surprisingly Karen, who had grown quite excited herself with the idea of her "baby boy" getting married.

Jamie had stayed true to his word for the most part, but finally letting it slip to Dr. V. in one of their sessions, after Jamie had really started making a lot of progress.

"So, are you getting excited about the wedding that your Uncle Lucas and Aunt Peyton are planning? I know that they must be talking about it a lot."

"No, not really. It doesn't count anyways."

"What do you mean that it doesn't count?" Dr. V. asks, confused at Jamie's words.

Jamie's eyes go wide, realizing that he shouldn't have said what he did. "Nothing."

"Jamie, is there something we need to talk about? I thought that you were excited for them to get married?"

"Uh..." he says, not knowing what he could possibly say next.

"We talked about how even though they are getting married, they still care about you, and you are going to always be safe with them."

"I know!" he says, nodding his head quickly.

"Then what is the problem?"

"You can't tell them that I told you!" Jamie says, leaning in towards the doctor and whispering.

"What did you tell me?" he asks back in a whisper.

"They're already married..."

"If they are already married, then why are they having a wedding?"

"It was their secret wedding. It was just me and Uncle Lucas and Aunt Peyton... and some old guy."

The doctor laughs, assuming that the "old guy" he was referring to was the judge, "When was this?"

"A few months ago... but you can't tell!"

"Well why can't I tell anyone?" he asks, amused by the situation, but genuinely curious as to what they had been thinking, entrusting this secret to a six year old.

"Because, they said that everyone else wants a big wedding, with a big party, and they just wanted it to be about our family."

"Your family?"

"Me and Uncle Lucas and Aunt Peyton. So I'm the only other person that knows... It's a big secret, and no one is ever going to know."

"So you are okay with them being married now?"

"Yeah... and I think that mama and daddy would have liked their wedding." he says, bringing up his parents without anyone asking for the first time.

"Why is that?"

"Cause Mama and Daddy had two weddings too... Uncle Lucas said that it was because the first time they got married, it was just because they loved each other so much that they couldn't wait. And the second time was for their friends and family."

"Okay..." he says, sensing that there was more to be added.

"And I like it... because... I know that they loved each other a lot. They made silly jokes at each other all the time and they kissed in the kitchen every morning. I think that's why they loved me so much."

"They did love you a lot Jamie. I didn't know your mom and dad, but I do know that..."

"So, I like that Uncle Lucas and Aunt Peyton couldn't wait either, because that means that they love each other a lot, just like them."

The timer went off just as he finished, and the doctor couldn't have been happier with the timing of the end of the session, having hit somewhat of a breakthrough with Jamie that day.

When he walked Jamie out, he gave a wave to Lucas and Peyton as he always did, but he felt the urge to poke fun at the situation and called out after them. "Mrs. Scott?"

Peyton turned automatically, not thinking anything of it, and then a look of shock crossed her features. It quickly turned into a smile when she met the eyes of the doctor who was smiling back at them. With a look to Lucas the pair waved goodbye back to the doctor, knowing that the secret was still safe.

As they were walking out the door, Peyton ruffled his hair a little bit, laughing at him as she did, "You had to tell someone, didn't you?"

"I'm only six! What did you expect?!" he says, with an innocent smile on his face.
