Episode 9 Ch.2 Low and Behold

Lily and Spencer are sitting next to each other in bed. "Lily I thought you wanted to get married. I didn't force you into anything you didn't want, did I?"

Lily shakes her head and kisses him. "No…I wanted to marry you. I want to be your wife, but ever since I was a little girl I had this idea of what my wedding was supposed to be like, and although I am thrilled that we are husband and wife I want Lucas to walk me down the aisle."

Spencer kissed her forehead. "If that is what you want then our marriage can be our little secret."

"You would do that for me?"

"I would do anything for you Lily Roberts." He kisses her and they fall back on the bed.

Aidan walks into the local liquor store to be greeted by Holly. "Aidan…"

"Holly," he was surprised to see her. "What are you doing here?"

"I probably should ask you the same thing. I didn't take you for much of a drinker."

"Yeah well…things change…"

Holly nodded. She was worried about him. "Shane and I decided to stay in Tree Hill, and I got a job here."

"Nice…" Aidan looked around the store.

"Aidan I'm sorry about the wedding. I really wanted the best for the two of you."

"Yeah well whatever…If I wanted to be married to Lily right now I would be. It was never meant to be." Aidan walked away from Holly. She shook her head. She had never seen him like that before, and it was scary.

Lily and Spencer are now walking the streets of Las Vegas holding hands. Her phone won't stop ringing. "Is it Lucas again?"

"Yes," she rolled her eyes. "I sent him a text message. I thought that would send him the picture that I don't want to talk."

"Just answer it…I'm pretty sure he wants to know if we are together or not."

"Why would he care?"

"Because he tried to convince me to stop the wedding."

"What?"

"He wanted us together…Don't say anything to him because he was right. We have always belonged together."

Lily was glad to know that Lucas cared that much about her life. It was a little weird, but nothing with Lucas ever seemed normal. She finally answered the phone. "Hello…"

"Hey Lily…thank God you finally answered." Lucas was relieved.

"I sent you a message telling you that I was fine."

"I know, but I wanted to hear your voice."

"Well you heard my voice so can I hang up now?"

"Actually….I was just wondering if…."

Before he could finish Lily handed the phone to Spencer. "Hey Lucas…" He laughed. "Lily's fine and we're together."

Lucas smiled. He had been right all along. "Yes…" He felt that it was because of him that they were finally together.

Natalie and Lucy looked at him and rolled their eyes. They thought he was a little goofy sometimes.

"Now will you please stop calling me?" Lily asked him.

"Yeah…I'm glad that you're okay…I love you Lily."

"I love you too Luke." Lily hung up the phone. "He sounded excited that we were together."

"I told you he was going to be." Spencer took her hands in his. "I sure know that I am." He pulls her into a kiss.

"How romantic," they kiss again.

Lucas looks up to see Natalie trying to change Emma's diaper. "Whoa…what are you doing?"

"I'm changing Emma's diaper. She's stinky." Natalie continues to attempt to change her diaper.

"Why don't you let me do that?" Lucas wanted to take over.

"Um I can handle it."

"Yeah daddy….Natalie's got this…" Lucy told him with her hands on her hips.

Lucas just shook his head and laughed. "Here let me help…" He tried to make it look like Natalie was doing most of the work. She was so independent, and Lucy was so sassy. He knew that he was going to have his hands full in a few years. He kind of already did.

Elizabeth and Noah are sitting at the café. Elizabeth is eating a hamburger. "So I love our daughter, but this is nice. I've missed alone time."

Noah looks around the café. "Yeah but we're not really alone."

"I know, but this still feels good. I miss her though."

"Yeah I do too." Noah smiled.

"I could hurry up and eat and we could go spend some time with her."

Noah reached his hand across the table. "As amazing as that sounds honey I think we deserve a little time to ourselves."

"You're right…" Elizabeth smiled at him. "I actually have something that I want to talk to you about."

"Okay what is it?"

"I want to go back to school."

"You can go back to school next semester. It is too late to go back this semester."

"Actually it's not. I talked to some people and I can still get into a few classes."

"No…" Noah was against it.

"No…I can't believe you are saying no. I need to do this. I need to get my life back." Elizabeth argued with him. This was very important to her.

Keith is reading over Stephanie's paper. "It needs a lot of work doesn't it?"

Keith shook his head. "Actually this is brilliant. It doesn't need any work at all."

"Oh, but I think it does." Stephanie argued with him.

"Nope…this paper is almost perfect….I don't know why you would ever think that you would need help. You are my best student. I'm proud of you Stephanie." He hands her back the paper.

"Thanks Keith…" She sighed. She was hoping to spend more time with him. She couldn't believe how oblivious he seemed to be. This was going to take a lot of work for him to get the picture.

"Hey," Breanne opens the door to see Jacey standing on the other side. "What are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to see my best friend." Jacey was a little on edge.

"I'm glad you came by." Breanne hugs her. "I still can't believe you are getting married."

"Yeah about that," Jacey started to speak, but Breanne interrupted her.

"But I also can't believe that Jamie is gone. God I miss him so much."

"Breanne I…"

"I mean I know that we'll be okay because we love each other, but I still miss him so much."

Jacey nodded. Breanne wasn't paying any attention to her.

"Is something wrong Jacey?"

"Well I…"

Breanne's phone starts ringing. "Oh this is Jamie…I've got to answer it. We'll you wait on me?"

"I've got to get to the store. I'll just talk to you later."

"Okay we'll talk about the wedding soon." Jacey walked out of the door. She was trying to tell Breanne about Eddie and the violence, but she didn't seem to care.

"Hey baby…I'm so glad you called."

Summer is at home getting ready to cook Chase a romantic dinner in hopes that he will propose to her.

Chase and Drew come in with a pizza.

"What is that?"

"It's a pizza." Chase looked at her confusingly. "Have you never seen a pizza?" He jokes.

"I was hoping that we could have a romantic dinner together. I was going to take Drew to my dads."

"No," Drew complained. "I want to stay here and play video games with daddy Chase."

Chase looked at him. "I promised him that we could hang out tonight."

"Please mommy…" Drew begged.

"Sounds like fun to me," Summer was disappointed, but Drew and Chase seemed content.

Brooke is in her bedroom getting ready for her romantic date with Nathan. She had a feeling it was going to be memorable.

Millie walked in. "You look amazing mom."

"Thank you very much."

"Is Nanny Deb coming to stay with us?"

"No," Brooke smiled at her. "I was thinking that you could watch Sophie for the night."

Millie's face lit up with excitement. "Really?"

"Yeah I think you are old enough, and Hunter will be right upstairs if you need anything."

"Thanks…I promise I'll do a good job."

"I know you will." Brooke continued to get ready, and Millie stepped out into the hallway.

She picks up her phone to call someone. "Hey…my parents are going out, and you have to come over. We're gonna have some fun." She hung up the phone and smiled.

Savannah is in her room studying when Charlie barges in. "Hey can't you knock?"

"I need your help." Charlie was in panic mode. "Mom and dad are going to kill me."

Hunter lays Ally in her crib. He was finally able to get her to sleep, thank goodness. He walks towards his bed and trips over something and makes a loud crash. "Damn it…"

Ally wakes up crying.

"Damn it," Hunter repeats his profanity.

Nathan walks in and smiles. "Don't worry son…things will get better as long as you don't get discouraged and down on yourself."

"I just got her to sleep."

"And you are just beginning to learn the art of parenthood. It'll get easier."

"I sure in the hell hope so." Hunter picked Ally up. "It's okay sweet girl…daddy is here."

Nathan smiled at his son. He was really trying hard and he was so proud of him for that. At least Hunter was taking responsibility for his actions. He was going to be a great man one day.

Aidan walks out of the liquor store and looks at his bag full of alcohol.

Lily and Spencer fall in bed together after taking a walk around the city. "I love you Mr. Roberts."

"I love you more Mrs. Roberts." He began to kiss her. "Life couldn't get any better than this."
