AN: Thank you to KTxx and OTHGirl24 for reviewing! Also thanks to those of you who alerted/favorited this (:

As KTxx pointed out in her review, if you'd like to do a suggestion, I'd be more than happy to see if I can write anything about it. I just go through the whole list in search of a little thing I can set the suggestion to then. So if you'd like to read something from a specific time/episode, feel free to let me know something!

The new drabble is set during 6x23 and yes, I know Karen wasn't at LP's wedding, but that always bothered me and even though I am respecting their storylines on the show I chose to include Karen at their wedding. Gotta love creative license to justify things ;) Hope you like it!


10. When His Family Loves You

"You look beautiful." Karen smiled as she walked into the room where Peyton was getting ready.

"You think?" Peyton asked, sounding a little unsure.

"Of course. You're one of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen." She assured her soon daughter-in-law. "I'd say you are the most beautiful, but Haley would kill me if she heard so." Karen joked, making Peyton let out a soft laugh.

Karen had known Peyton for years now and she knew just how much that woman loved her son, but there was this glint in Peyton's eyes that got her slightly worried. "Everything okay?"

"Yeah, yeah." Peyton answered, smiling faintly. "It's just... You are okay with this, right? Because not so long ago Lucas was supposed to marry Lindsey and –"

"Oh, honey. Of course I am okay with this. We all know Lucas has always been meant to marry you and I couldn't be happier about that. You are a part of this family, Peyton." Karen smiled before hugging the blonde.

"Thank you." Peyton whispered into the hug, smiling herself.
