One Tree Hill

My Version of Season 3... But when Brooke comes back she doesn't just 'date' Lucas she wants to just be friends with him... Why? Because during the summer Peyton talked to her telling her she had major feelings for Lucas. So Brooke immediately put her feelings aside so Peyton and Lucas could be together. But Peyton has been telling Brooke that she knows Lucas has feelings for her so that way Brooke wouldn't think that Lucas wanted to be with her anymore. Lucas has tried contacting Brooke but can't get through, while busy helping Peyton with finding her birth mother. Haley James-Scott is back in town and Chris Keller has followed her! Brooke and Haley are now living together and Nathan is having a hard time adjusting to having his wife back. Meanwhile a certain face that everybody thought was gone shows back up again...

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Show Must Go On

Haley woke up with a huge smile on her face, her head was on her husband's chest. Today was her wedding day, and she could not wait. Her heart was already racing and her nerves were jumping all over the place. And the great thing, no morning sickness!

Nathan hadn't been to bad when she told him she was pregnant, in fact he was excited. He wanted to be the father to his child that he never had, and he would never be like Dan.

A fact that Haley loved more than anything, she didn't know what she would do if Nathan cheated on her and had two children at the same time and then decided to be cold-hearted towards her.

She'd fucking kill him.

Brooke was already up, a rare fact since it was almost nine in the morning. The brunette usually woke up towards noon, but not today. She was up since four in the morning and kept Lucas up although he was trying to sleep.

Eventually he gave up with all of her muttering and moving around and glared at her. "Alright, I'm up." He groaned and sat up in bed and rubbed his face.

Brooke smiled and put down the three dresses she was walking around with on his chair and pounced onto the bed. "Yay." She said excitedly and kissed him softly.

Lucas frowned at her, and tried to keep his face in an angry pose but her dimpled face was too cute. He reluctantly broke out into a smile and kissed her back. "Why are you up?" He asked her and brushed her unruly hair behind her ear.

She shrugged and played with his hand. "I just couldn't sleep anymore. I just needed to make sure the dresses were perfect for the wedding today. And I was really excited to see you in a tux." Brooke said smirking at him.

Lucas chuckled and shook his head and patted her hip for her to move so he could get up.

Brooke moved off of him and watching him stretch before walking towards his door. "Hey when my mom gets up just tell her I'm in the shower." Lucas told her while leaving the room.

Brooke nodded and followed him but she went into the kitchen and made herself a cup of coffee before going back into Lucas' room to get dressed.

Peyton was sitting in Jake's bedroom waiting for him to come out. Things weren't completely normal between them again, but they were getting there. So Peyton spent the night because Jake was driving Peyton and Jenny to the wedding. Which he reluctantly agreed to taking Jenny with them.

Jake walked over to her and smoothed down his dark red tie and did a little spin with a smirk and his arms splayed out wide. "Well, what do you think?" He asked her.

Peyton smiled and nodded. "I like it." She told him standing up and took the lapels of his jacket and nodded again. "You look nice."

Jake smiled a bit and kissed her forehead. "Thanks."

"So you're gonna be one of Nathan's best men?" She asked him smiling a bit.

Jake nodded. "Yeah, shocked me a little too. But I wasn't gonna tell him no."

"Well, I'm glad you two are close." Peyton said smiling slightly.

Jake nodded. "Yeah, I'm close to the two guys you have been with." Jake said scoffing.

Peyton immediately let go of him and put a hand in her hair. "Well, um, Brooke is coming over in a bit to help me with my hair and make-up."

"Alright." He said as he walked out of the room.

Cooper and Rachel were getting ready in his apartment. Rachel Gatina was actually nervous about something, she wondered if everybody there would act differently because she was there.

"You're quiet." Cooper commented as he zipped up the back of her dress for her.

Rachel shrugged. "Maybe I'm just thinking about the hot sex we shared in the shower." She teased him and turned around after he zipped her up.

Cooper chuckled and shook his head at her. "Don't start." He told her as her arms went around his neck. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." She told him and kissed him softly.

He didn't quite believe her, but he knew better than to argue with her. Besides if it was truly something bad, she would tell him.

So he didn't push it.

The Wedding

Haley was pacing inside of her dressing room as Brooke and Peyton were in there trying to calm her down.

"Hales, everything is going to be perfect." Peyton told her making her sit down.

Haley looked up at her and nodded. "Yeah, everything will be just fine." Haley said still nodding her head.

Brooke grinned. "Don't worry. Today is your day. Everything will be absolutely perfect for your wedding and nothing on earth will spoil it. Or they will have to deal with the wrath of Brooke Davis." She told her relieved Haley let out a small laugh.

"Yeah and nobody wants that." Peyton said quietly, knowing exactly what was Brooke's wrath.

Brooke laughed slightly and watched as Haley put a hand on her stomach and her face went white. "Oh no! No, no no! You are not having morning sickness after I spent an hour on your gorgeous face!" Brooke yelled at her and handed her some crackers and a small bottle of water.

Haley looked at the water questionably. "Should I really drink that? I mean, I might have to pee in the middle of the ceremony."

Peyton rolled her eyes and took away the water. "Haley, stop worrying."

"What if I throw up on my way down the aisle?" Haley asked now standing and shaking her head. "Maybe we should wait until after I have the baby? Yes? I think so."

Brooke stopped her. "No. Haley, you won't puke going down the aisle. You're just nervous and that is completely normal."

Haley nodded and her eyes grew wide when she heard the music start. "Oh my God." She groaned as Peyton and Brooke led her outside to her carriage where she would ride in.

"You'll be fine." Peyton said smiling at her.

Brooke gave Haley her flowers and winked at her as they began to walk. "See you there, Tutor Girl."

Lucas was waiting with his arm out for Brooke to take. She looked absolutely gorgeous in her dress and he had a hard time of keeping his mouth closed.

"You look breathtaking." He whispered to her as she took his arm.

Brooke smiled up at him and kissed his cheek softly. "Thank you. You don't look to bad yourself." She said as they began to walk down.

Lucas looked down at her quickly and smiled a bit. "You know I can't wait until this is our day." He said softly, and smiled a bit wider when he saw her dimple appear.

"One day at a time, Luke. One day at a time." Brooke whispered to him as they separated and went to their rightful places.

Jake held his arm out for Peyton to take and she smiled softly up at him and he returned it.

"You look very nice." He told her and kissed her hand softly.

Peyton looked down and tried to fight a blush, but knew it was inevitable. "Thanks." She said as they began to walk down the aisle.

Jake and Peyton were silent for the walk down, there was still a lot of unresolved tension between them. But they were trying not to let it show, especially on their friends' big day.

Jake and Peyton both separated and walked to their sides and looked towards the trees where Haley was going to be ridden in from.

Haley was being ridden in and her eyes were glued to Nathan's. Her cheeks were flushed and she carefully got off of the carriage and began to slowly walk her way down the aisle. Her heart was racing and her hands were sweating and shaking. Her knees felt like they would give out on her any minute but she couldn't wait to get down there to him.

What felt like an eternity later, Haley finally made to Nathan and they shared a smile.

"You are stunning." Nathan whispered as he took her hand.

Haley smiled and looked at him.

"We are gathered here today..."

Later

Brooke was waiting for Haley and Nathan to come out to the reception when Peyton came up to her and smiled a little at her.

"Hey." She said as she stood there and crossed her arms.

"Hey, what's up?" Brooke asked the blonde next to her.

Peyton shrugged. "Nothing really. I was just bored, besides Jake is trying to feed Jenny."

Brooke chuckled. "Oh, she's a cranky baby right now?"

"Surprisingly, she doesn't like being in dresses or having her hair done." Peyton said sarcastically.

"Wow, she really does take after you Peyton." Brooke told her smiling a bit.

Peyton nodded and then looked at Brooke seriously. "Brooke, listen, I'm really sorry. For everything I've done to hurt you."

Brooke nodded and smiled sadly. "I know you are." She said quietly.

Peyton looked at her. "That's it?" Peyton laughed a bit.

Brooke shrugged and shook her head. "Peyton, I don't think you understand how much you hurt me."

"But, Lucas hurt you too." Peyton told her frowning.

Brooke shook her head a little. "Yeah, but he's a guy. You were always my best friend. God, Peyton, I love you. You were, still are, my best friend."

"But..."

"But, this is the second time it's happened. When are you going to stop?" Brooke asked exhausted over the whole situation.

"I am done. I'm trying to fix things with Jake." Peyton told her.

Brooke smiled and rubbed her arm. "I'm happy for you. I am."

Peyton nodded. "I also found out I have a brother. His name is Derek." Peyton said happily. "I'm meeting him soon and I'm really excited."

Brooke hugged Peyton and smiled. "I'm really happy for you, P. Sawyer. I really am. I hope everything works out great."

Peyton grinned and they released each other. "Me too."

Brooke smiled at her and then squealed when she saw Nathan and Haley finally arrive. Brooke ran over to Haley and hugged her.

"See, I told you, you wouldn't throw up going down the aisle." She said and heard Haley laugh a bit.

Haley smiled. "Your right."

Brooke released her and then hugged Nathan tightly. "Goodness, congratulations buddy!"

Nathan smiled broadly and nodded. "I know, I feel like I'm the king of the world."

Brooke smiled and felt a pair of arms come around her waist. "Come on, Pretty Girl, got something to show you." Lucas' soft voice whispered into her ear.

Brooke nodded and her smile lit up her face as he led her away from the festivities and towards a small lake about five minutes away from the party.

"So, this is what you had to show me?" Brooke asked smiling as she sat down on the bench with Lucas. "I've been here before."

Lucas laughed a bit and shook his head. "No, actually I want to show you something that I haven't shown anybody. But you can't freak out when you see it, alright?" He asked her carefully fingering the small black box in his jacket pocket.

Brooke nodded slowly. "Alright, what is it?" She asked curiously.

Lucas slowly pulled it out and her eyes widened at the sight of it and watched as she shook her head. "It's not for right now." Lucas promised her and opened it showing her the 10 carat oval diamond ring.

Brooke stared at the diamond ring in front of her it was gorgeous. "Lucas, I..." She trailed off shaking her head.

"Like I said before, it's not for right now." Lucas told her watching as her eyes were glued to the ring. "But I want you to know that whenever your ready, my ring will be on your finger." He told her and she looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

"Lucas." She said and shook her head and carefully wiped away the tears without ruining her make-up.

Lucas smiled and he set the ring down in his lap, and took her hands in one of his and wiped away a tear that managed to escape. "I hope these are happy tears." He said quietly.

Brooke nodded. "Yeah, a little bit of shock to." She told him laughing slightly.

"I love you Brooke Davis. You're my Pretty Girl, and I'm never letting you go again. So whether we do get married or we don't we are staying together." Lucas told her and kissed her hand softly.

"I'm stuck with you, huh?" Brooke finally managed to choke out while still smiling.

Lucas nodded and let go of her hands and held the small box again. "So you want it now or later?" Lucas asked her softly.

"If I say later, will you be upset?" Brooke asked cautiously, the last thing she wanted to do was put Lucas in a brooding mood.

He shook his head a small smile on his face. "Of course not. It's your when you want it."

Brooke nodded and leaned forward to kiss him softly. "I am going to want it Lucas and trust me when I do want it, you'll be the first to know."

Lucas smiled and kissed her again. He was the luckiest guy in the world right now, and he doubted anything could bring him down.

Peyton was now sitting next to Jake as he finished feeding Jenny and a small smile was on her face as she watched Haley and Nathan dance slowly together. His head was dipped to so their foreheads were touching and both had smiles on their faces.

Jake noticed her watching and nudged her gently. "What's up?" He asked her noticing how she was watching Nathan and Haley.

Peyton shrugged and looked at him. "I guess I've just always wanted that, even though I never really say it. I want my happily ever after, I want my prince Charming to sweep me off my feet." She said a little sadly.

"And that's not me?" Jake asked quietly, it didn't hurt him as much as he thought it would. He was actually finding himself questioning why he was with Peyton.

Peyton looked at him and shrugged. "I don't know right now." She whispered and dropped her gaze to Jenny. The real reason she was with him right now was because of Jenny, she didn't know how she would react is Jake took Jenny away from her.

Jake saw her looking at Jenny and smiled a little. "You know, I'll still let you see her. You're still going to be the person she looks at too call mom."

Peyton smiled and nodded. "I would hope so."

Jake nodded and wrapped an arm around her. "We had a good run, while it lasted I guess." He said and kissed her hair.

Peyton shook her had and looked up at him. "And I told Brooke I was working things out with you." She said sadly.

Jake chuckled and tightened his arm around her. "Let's face it, you love Lucas way too much to be with me. And I guess I'm just never going to be able to let go what you did with Lucas. Twice." He told her honestly.

Peyton nodded and a tear spilled out of her cheek but she still kept her gaze on him. "I'm sorry. Even though those words aren't enough for what I did, I really am sorry."

Jake nodded. "I know, I know, and I do forgive you. I guess I'm just a really sucky forgetter."

Peyton laughed a bit and nodded. "Wow, so did we just break up?" She asked like it was unreal.

Jake laughed himself and looked down at her. "I think we did."

Peyton shook her head and looked down. "You know, this feels like we're in the twilight zone."

Jake nodded a small smile on his face. "Yeah, you know I didn't really think we would break up."

Peyton sighed and looked towards where Brooke and Lucas were walking back hand-in-hand with smiles on their faces.

"Me neither." She said softly while watching the blonde boy she loved obviously love his girlfriend unconditionally.

The party was slowly dying down people began to leave and Haley and Nathan both decided they should leave, Haley was getting tired and she was trying to not let it show but her feet were killing her and she was beginning to have a headache.

"Hey guys, we're gonna get going." Haley told Brooke and Lucas who were sitting by themselves at the table.

Brooke nodded and smiled at them. "Alright, I guess we'll see you guys later."

Nathan and Haley both nodded. "Hey, thanks for everything, and thanks for coming." Haley told them and kissed Lucas' cheek and hugged Brooke.

Lucas nodded. "No problem. We'll make sure to look at all your presents and take the stuff we like and then give you the crappy ones." Lucas told them with a solemn face.

Haley squinted at him. "Don't you be taking my new coffee machine, I need it and I know it's in there somewhere."

Lucas smiled and nodded. "Alright, and congrats again." He told them.

Haley nodded and Nathan kissed her head and smiled at them. "Bye."

Then they left.

Brooke smiled at Lucas and he stared at her with a questioning face. "What?"

She shook her head, but still had the same smile on her face and she moved over so she could sit in his lap and she wrapped an arm behind his neck. "Nothing really."

Lucas smiled sweetly at her and kissed her softly.

"I could get used to that." Brooke said quietly.

Lucas nodded. "I thought you could, and you really don't have a choice."

Brooke giggled and shook her head. "You know, I can't wait to plan our wedding." She told him dreamily. "You won't get say in a lot of it though, you're horrible at decorations and colors."

Lucas gave her a look and she shrugged.

"You can make the thank you cards and even pick some of the music." Brooke told him like that would make him feel better.

Lucas chuckled and shook his head. "You know I don't care, you can plan everything you want. Because I will give you anything you want." He told her and softly kissed her nose.

Brooke nodded. "God, I love you." She told him and kissed his cheek.

"I love you too." He told her and turned her head so he could kiss her lips.

Brooke pulled back and sighed a bit watching as everybody left and one particular couple caught her attention.

"Do you think Uncle Cooper and Rachel are together?" Brooke asked a surprised smile on her face.

Lucas laughed and indeed saw Cooper help Rachel into the car before getting in himself. "I guess. I don't really know."

Brooke shrugged and then looked back down at him. "So how happy are you that Dan didn't show up?" She asked laughing a bit at the relieved look he had on his face.

"Oh my God, immensely." Lucas told her laughing a bit.

Brooke nodded. "Have you talked to Deb at all?"

Lucas nodded. "I had a conversation with her, she seems pretty stable now."

"You know, it's kind of silly but I kind of sent my mother a letter saying that my eighteenth birthday was coming up." Brooke said looking down at his hand on her lap and played with his fingers. "I was kind of hoping she would call me or send something back to me to let me know she would be here."

Lucas sighed and kissed her forehead. "Well, you're gonna be too damn busy that day anyway." He told her softly. "With me. You completely mine for the day." He said smiling. Lucas hated when Brooke did this to herself, even though she wanted to say she didn't want her mother around there would always be apart of her that just wants her to accept her.

Brooke smiled at him. "Oh yeah?" She asked with a small smile on her face.

Lucas nodded. "Oh yeah, don't make any plans that day. You are all mine."

Brooke nodded and kissed him. One of his hands found their way to her hair the other to her chin and he held her head in the position he wanted it, enjoying her mouth.

His phone ringing had him groaning in protest but pulled back from her and opened his cell phone which was on the table and answered.

"Hello?" He asked into the phone.

Immediately he sat up straighter and tensed. "Are they alright?" He asked frantically and moved so Brooke and he could stand up.

"Yeah, we're on out way." Lucas said before closing his phone and grabbing Brooke's hand and led her to his car.

"Lucas, what's going on?" She asked as he all but dragged her to his car.

Lucas opened the door for her and let her in before getting into his side and starting the car immediately. "There's been an accident. Cooper and Rachel's truck was in the water and Nathan jumped in. Haley and Deb are on their way to the hospital right now."

"Are they okay?" Brooke asked quickly as held onto her door because of Lucas' driving she was getting car sick.

Lucas shrugged and didn't let up on the gas. "Let's hope to God." He told her and increased his speed.

Karen was going through the purses looking for Brooke's. Lucas called her and told her what happened but Brooke and he needed their things but were in such a rush they forgot them.

Keith came into the room and looked at Karen. "What are you looking for?" He asked as he watched her go through yet another purse.

"I'm looking for Brooke's purse." Karen told him picking up the second to last purse. She went through it and found a wallet and opened it. It had Brooke's drivers license but that wasn't what caught her attention.

"What's wrong? Is that her's?" Keith asked stepping more into the room.

Karen nodded and turned around. "Yeah, and is this her's too?" She asked him holding the pregnancy test box, that was unopened.

Dan sat down in his study, he had a bottle of whiskey in his hand and his cell phone on his desk. What he did, needed to be done. He needed to make sure he had more control over everything, it seemed like everything was spiraling out of control and he had nothing to stop it.

Dan smirked as he took another drink of his whiskey. He'd be damned if anybody would find out what he did and has done.
