When I was younger
I was so lost and proud.
I've gained the world.I'm coming home
To start again.
A couple months Later
The friendgroup gathered together for double positive hopeful events. The birth of Naley's third child. And Skills/Bevin's wedding. A second daughter named Courtney Quinn Scott. She had father's eyes and her mom's brown/blond hair.
The parents were overcome with joy and happiness. Jamie and Lydia beyond happy and looking forward to life with their new sister.
As the friendgroup welcomed their newest member taking turns visiting. Snapping pictures and recording videos.
Eventually leaving the hospital room. In pairs.
"That is going to be us one of these days soon." Lucas said.
Brooke smiled feeling warm and hopeful at the possibility of that.
"Can you imagine us married. Me pregnant.?" Brooke asked with a laugh.
She had never allowed herself to picture them with a family.
Given how her life and circumstances seemed to happen.
Wanting that seemed like testing the limits.
"Yes i've thought about and dreamed about it."
"Having our careers. A beach house. Two boys a girl."
"I can see it." Lucas replied. Taking her hand in his.
Brooke leaned over kissed him.
"Oh i didn't the two of you would still be here." Peyton said.
"Of coure we hung around longer. Kids are a soft spot for us." Lucas replied.
"How is married life?" Brooke asked.
"Great. Better then expected." Peyton replied.
"Is Julian around?" Lucas asked.
"He just left on a business trip. He''ll be gone for awhile." Peyton replied.
"We have to get going." Brooke said.
Lucas leaned over kissing her.
Leading the way away from the nursery.
Peyton felt herself boiling. Her eyes rolling back.
"Julian. You better show up at this wedding. I will not be staying home." Peyton warned clutching her cellphone nrear the exit doors.

Weeks Later
Brooke and Lucas on seperate sides as they watched beloved friends of theirs commit to life together. Skills and Bevin's vows were funny and heartfelt. Very them.
The priest announcing them The Taylors. And them sealing their union with a double kiss. Was the start of their life.
The reception went on for hours.
Peyton was practically shaking with envy. Julian hadn't showed up. And having to seeing Brooke and Lucas in love without a care in the world made her want to scream.
But instead she left the wedding with some guy she didn't know and had sex with him in the bed she shared with Julian. While imagining it was Lucas.
