"Hannah baby girl come here" Brooke said as she watched Hannah run around the beauty shop in Tree Hill as she got her hair done for Karen and Andy's wedding.
"Mommy" Hannah said as she walked over to Brooke and held her arms up so that Brooke would pick her up.
"Hannah Banana mommy can't hold you right now" Brooke said as a beautician put hot rollers in Brooke's hair.
"Pwese mommy" Hannah asked holding her arms up.
Karen looked over at Brooke and Hannah and smiled "Hannah sweetie come over to grandma and I'll hold you"
Hannah looked at Karen and then at Brooke. "Go on with Grandma Karen" Brooke said.
"Ok" Hannah said running over to Karen and smiling as her grandmother picked her up and set her on her lap.
"So what time do we have to be at the church?" Haley asked looking in the stroller at a sleeping Leah before looking over at Brooke and Karen.
"We have to be there at 4 the wedding starts at 6" Karen said before placing a kiss on Hannah's cheek.
"Are you nervous?" Haley asked
"No, I mean I haven't felt this way about anybody since Keith" Karen said looking over at Brooke and Haley.
"I'm sure Keith would be so happy for you" Brooke said.
"He would. It's just hard because I look at Lily and I watch Hannah and Isaiah and I know how much he would have loved to of seen them grow up" Karen said sadly.
"I don't know about you guys but I can't wait to eat some of that cake" Haley said trying to lighten the mood.
"Me too…I haven't had wedding cake since Rachel and Mouth's wedding" Brooke said
"I can't wait to dance with Nathan" Haley said "Maybe have a few glasses of wine and see where things go and if we happen to have red hot sex on the table then we will"
"Haley" Brooke squealed
"What?" Haley asked "Nathan has been so stressed lately and I just want to make things better for him."
"What's he so stressed about?" Karen asked looking down at Hannah who was now sleeping and draped her blanket over her.
"Nathan wants to try out for the Charleston Chiefs" Haley said.
"Aw that will be really great" Brooke said.
"I hope so he really wants this and he deserves it so much" Haley said.
"What do you girls know about positioning?" Karen asked.
"What?" Haley and Brooke both asked looking at Karen
"I was just wondering what I should be in for tonight" Karen said.
Haley and Brooke looked at Karen before looking at each other and burst out laughing.

Later That Day.
"I look like a whale" Peyton said looking into the mirror.
"No baby you don't look like a whale" Jake said walking up to her and wrapping his arms around her growing belly. "A horse maybe"
"Hey" Peyton said turning her head to look at him.
"I'm just kidding" Jake said laughing as he kissed her on the cheek.
"This is your fault anyway" Peyton said leaning back into him.
"Yeah but there's boys are going to be awesome" Jake said kissing her shoulder.
"What makes you so sure that they're both boys?" Peyton asked
"Cause I know" Jake said.
"I'd have to laugh if they're both girls" Peyton said yawning.
Jake shook his head and turned Peyton and got down on his knees in front of her belly "Hey in there. Look I know that you're busy growing and what not but I ask if you're both girls that you PLEASE give daddy a break when you are teenagers. I could tell so many stories on your mommy but they don't ALWAYS paint her into a good light especially the ones that have to do with her and daddy's friend Lucas but we won't talk about that"
"Jake" Peyton sighed before smacking him on the shoulder.
"What? I think our twins need to know what they're being born into" Jake said standing up.
"I think we need to go to the wedding before I kill you" Peyton said taking Jake by the hand and walking out the bedroom door.

Nathan and Haley's House
"Daddy" Leah said looking at Nathan as she walked into the living room.
"Fat kid" Nathan said "Come see daddy"
"Jamie?" Leah called
Nathan shook his head and picked Leah up to sit on his lap. "Jamie is already at the church with Uncle Luke and Aunt Brooke we'll see him soon"
"Mama?" Leah asked
"Mommy's getting ready pumpkin" Nathan said flipping the TV to Sports Center.
"There's my beautiful girl" Haley said walking into the living room.
"Hi Mama" Leah said looking up at Haley.
"Hi baby" Haley said.
"Hales you shouldn't talk to Chris Keller like that in front of Nathan" Chris said walking in the living room behind Haley.
"Ha ha Chris" Nathan said standing up and kissing Leah on the forehead
"It was a joke" Chris said.
Haley took Leah from Nathan and kissed her before sitting her down in her play pen. "We should be back form the reception around midnight no later than 12:30. Please Chris keep her in one piece"
"You know babies love them so Keller" Chris said.
"This isn't a joke Chris" Nathan said narrowing his eyes at Chris.
"I'll take care of her" Chris said looking at both Nathan and Haley.
"You better" Nathan said helping Haley with her coat.

The Church
"I can't believe how big that he is now" Andy said looking at Lucas as he fastened the buttons on Isaiah's baby tux.
"I know it. He's come such a long way from when he was in the NICU. I remember when Brooke had him the second he came out of her I thought he looked so unreal" Lucas said "Now he's chubby and thinks he needs to pull Hannah's hair all the time"
"He's great though Luke…he really is" Andy said as he slipped his tux jacket on.
"Hey he really is" Lucas said picking Isaiah up and setting him on the floor. He watched as Isaiah pulled himself up and held onto the couch in the grooms dressing room before taking a few uneasy steps along the length of the couch.
"I really do love your mom Lucas" Andy said "I love your whole family"
"I know you do Andy and I'm so glad that my mom has you because you've made the past few years so great for her and Lily and even me and my family and I want you to know that if I had to pick someone for my kids to call papaw it would be you" Lucas said
"Thank you Lucas that really means a lot to me" Andy said. Andy really took that as a compliment when Lucas said it because he knew that Lucas wasn't the same person after Keith was murdered and the fact that Lucas would tell him that really made him happy.
"Just don't hurt my mom ok" Lucas said
"I'd never hurt your mother" Andy said
"Good…cause I know where you live" Lucas told him raising an eyebrow at his soon to be step father.
"Good point" Andy said before exhaling deeply.

The Bridal Suite
"I have to pee again" Peyton said getting up from the couch and walking into the bathroom.
"That's like the 5th time she's peed in 2 hours" Rachel said as she swayed with a now sleeping Abby.
"Rachel you remember what that was like" Brooke said as she fastened Hannah's shoes for her.
"Yeah but I seem to remember throwing up more than anything" Rachel walked over to Abby's stroller and placed her down in it before covering her with a light blanket.
"I remember being pregnant with Lucas and I promise you I spent the first 3 months in the bathroom calling Ralph on the porcelain throne" Karen said shaking her head
"Really?" Haley asked as she pulled Leah's hair into a clip on her head.
"Yeah…I threw up so violently that I burst tiny blood vessels in my face" Karen shuddered at the thought of when she was pregnant with Lucas and looked at Lily who was spinning around in her flower girl dress.
"What about her?" Rachel asked as she sat down on the couch and pulled Abby's stroller closer to her and looked in at the sleeping baby.
"I wasn't sick at all" Karen said
"Well sometimes Lucas makes me want to throw up so I see where it comes from" Haley joked
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The Wedding Reception
"I'm so happy for you mom…I know Keith would be too" Lucas told Karen as the two danced to the song "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You" by Rod Stewart
"Yeah he would have. I never thought I'd be happy after Keith died but Andy is so understanding and I'm thankful for that. He's funny, kind, and most of all he loves Lily like she's his own" Karen said looking over at Andy who was dancing with Brooke.
"It's so good to see you this happy" Lucas said smiling
"It's good to finally be happy" Karen looked at Lucas and shook her head "Have I told you how proud of you I am my boy?"
"Once or twice" Lucas said shaking his head.
"Well it's true….You are the most amazing son and it makes me so proud to see the man you've grown to be. You're a wonderful husband. I know I shouldn't say this but I'm so glad that you picked Brooke. It's not that I don't care about Peyton I think she's great. But Brooke brings something out in you that Peyton never did. When you're with her you're the kind of man I always knew you'd be. I see the way you look at her and I think it's what made me give love another chance. It's like the two of you are in on this big secret that no one else knows. I don't know a lot but I know that Brooke loves you very much…Then to see you with the two greatest grandkids a grandma could ask for touches my heart…those two kids worship the ground that you walk on and you and Brooke couldn't have done a better job raising them" Karen told Lucas before resting her head on his shoulder.
"Thanks ma…that means a lot to me" Lucas said
Peyton and Jake
"You feeling ok?" Jake asked Peyton as they danced to the song "You and Me" by Lifehouse
"I feel wonderful…especially since I'm here with the man I love more than anything in the world" Peyton said yawning.
"Well since they've cut the cake and you don't need to worry about catching the bouquet how about you and I head home and get in our pajamas, curl up in bed and watch a movie?" Jake asked
"That sounds so wonderful…will you rub my feet too?" Peyton asked pulling back from Jake and smiling.
"If you wash them first" Jake said
"Jake" Peyton gasped before slapping him on the shoulder
"Babe you've had them in high heels all day" Jake said "I'm sure they need it"
"You're such a jerk" Peyton said pouting as Jake pulled her back against him.
"Yeah but I'm your jerk" Jake said leaning forward to kiss Peyton on the forehead.
"Ok…lets go home" Peyton said taking Jake by the hand and pulling him off of the dance floor.
Brooke and Lucas
"I just don't know how I can thank you pretty girl" Lucas said as he and Brooke danced to the song "She's Everything" by Brad Paisley
"For what?" Brooke asked
"Everything that you've done to make this day so wonderful for my mom and Andy" Lucas said looking at her
"It's no problem. I love your mom…I think of her as my own…of course that's kind of weird cause that would make you my brother" Brooke joked as she looked up at Lucas
"I'm serious Brooke" Lucas said "You don't even know how much she appreciates this. You've made her dream come true. Just like you do for everyone you care about. Like you do for me everyday"
"Lucas" Brooke said shifting her gaze away from him. She loved Lucas so much more than what the word love could even express but she still didn't take a compliment from him very well.
"Look at me" Lucas took his hand and turning Brooke's head gently so she'd look at him. "I love you Brooke. I know I say it a lot but I do…and you don't even know how much. You don't even realize how much the things you do mean to people. I can't believe that something like you could ever happen to me and I'm so thankful that you chose to be my wife. It's such a for me to get to call you Brooke Scott"
Brooke couldn't hold back the tear that slid down her cheek "I love you Lucas"
"Right back at you pretty girl"
Nathan and Haley
"Have I told my girl how beautiful she looks tonight?" Nathan asked running his hand down Haley's back as they swayed to the song "You're Still the One" by Shania Twain.
"I think you've mentioned it" Haley said looking over at Jamie who was dancing with Lily before looking back at Nathan
"Good cause I never want to miss a chance to tell you something I know in my heart that's true" Nathan smiled at Haley and pushed a stray strand of her hair out of her face.
"I love you Nathan Scott…Do you know that?" Haley asked
"I had a feeling you might" Nathan said smiling at her
"You know I do…I love this song too because it resonates so much with you and I and our life together" Haley said as she listened to the song as it played.
"I do love you Hales way more than words could ever express to you" Nathan said looking down at her. "My heart still skips a beat every single time I look at you"
"You trying to get lucky?" Haley asked
"Maybe…Is it working?" Nathan asked raising an eyebrow.
"It is" Haley said leaning up to kiss him.
