The big day finally arrives, everyone is gathered in the small country inn to celebrate Brooke and Lucas' wedding. Lily and Lucas are with everyone in the garden while Brooke gets ready in one of the rooms of the house. Of course, Victoria and Dan are absent from the guest list, but also from Brooke and Lucas' minds. They only wanted to think about themselves and the wonderful happiness they were about to experience.
Busy putting the last touches on her makeup and hair, Brooke hears someone knocking at the door.
Karen : It's me, Brooke. Can I come in?
Brooke : Sure, Karen.
Karen then enters the room, and she can't hide her emotion when she sees Brooke in her wedding dress.
Karen : You really look beautiful, Brooke. Lucas won't believe his eyes.
Brooke : Thank you, Karen. You really look beautiful too. And your dress is very elegant.
Karen : Thank you. It's been a long time since I've had the opportunity to dress like this. With the restaurant, Keith and I hardly go out anymore.
Brooke : If you want to go out, Chase and I can very well run the restaurant ourselves from time to time, you know.
Karen : Why not? That's a good idea. And then, since Chase doesn't seem inclined to get married, it won't be tomorrow that I'll be able to put on a pretty dress again.
Brooke : Never say never, Karen. You might be surprised. Did you know that Lucas invited his secretary?
Karen : Yes, I saw her downstairs. Why?
Brooke : Because she and Chase are talking right now. Come take a look.
From her point of view, Brooke can indeed see that Chase and Lucas' secretary are deep in conversation. The two have been talking like this for several minutes and even share a few knowing laughs. Karen, who has joined Brooke to observe them discreetly, then shows herself very interested in the young girl Chase is talking to.
Karen : What's this young woman's name?
Brooke : Mia. And from talking to her a little, I know she's single.
Karen : That's interesting. Do you think I should get involved?
Brooke : Absolutely not, Karen! Chase seems to be doing just fine on his own! Don't go playing matchmaker again.
Karen : No, but a little help never hurt.
Brooke : Sure, but I doubt they need it.
Karen : We'll see about that. In the meantime, are you ready?
Brooke : Yes, more than ready!
Brooke and Karen leave their observation post and leave the room smiling, arm in arm. Slowly going down the small staircase with her wedding dress, Brooke can see Keith, who is waiting for her at the bottom of it. He had indeed offered to accompany her to the altar, in order to replace her late father. She of course accepted with joy and emotion, and therefore immediately takes Keith's arm when arriving near him. Keith then looks at her with admiration and pride, and gently pats her hand, like a father would.
Keith : You are absolutely radiant, Brooke.
Brooke : Thank you so much, Keith. And thank you again for accompanying me to the altar. It means a lot to me, you know.
Keith : Thank you for giving me the privilege of doing this, Brooke. Because it is a joy and a blessing for me. So? Are you ready? Because I know someone out there who is just waiting for you.
Brooke : Yes, I am ready. We can go.
Moved and impatient, Brooke lets Keith guide her through the inn, then into the garden, in order to reach the altar. They then present themselves at the end of the central aisle, both advancing slowly, to the sound of the wedding march. Lucas does not take his eyes off Brooke for a single second as she approaches him, her heart beating. His eyes are fixed on her, shining with infinite tenderness and absolute love, without ever blinking. Finally arriving in front of Lucas, Keith gently lets go of Brooke's arm, with a smile, before going to sit next to Karen. Lucas immediately takes Brooke's hands in his while Haley and Clay stand near them. Lily, as for her, also stands next to Brooke and Lucas with a big smile and seeming to restrain herself from jumping for joy.
Lucas : You really are beautiful, my love. Lily was right, you look like a princess.
Brooke : Thank you, my heart.
Lucas, unable to wait for the exchange of vows, leans towards Brooke so that he can tenderly take her lips. The priest gently teases him, calling him to order and provoking laughter from everyone.
Priest : In principle, you must only kiss the bride when I tell you to, my son!
Lucas : Excuse me, father.
Priest : It's okay. I was just joking. Well, are you ready to begin?
Lucas : Yes, father. We are ready.
The priest nods and then begins the ceremony, under the gaze of the entire assembly. Then, the most important moment finally arrived, Lucas and Brooke exchanged their vows in a voice vibrating with emotion.
Priest : Lucas Eugene Scott, will you take Brooke Penelope Davis, here present, as your wife and do you promise to be faithful to her? In weal or in weal, in sickness or in health, to help her all the days of your life?
Lucas : I do.
Priest : Brooke Penelope Davis, will you take Lucas Eugene Scott, here present, as your husband and promise to be faithful to him? In weal or in wedlock, in sickness or in health, to love him all the days of your lives?
Brooke : I do.
Priest : Then, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.
Lucas and Brooke laugh for a moment with the priest, then Lucas captures Brooke's lips to kiss her passionately. They share a long kiss, to the applause and cheers of the guests. They finally separate, Lucas looking at Brooke with tear-filled eyes, before resting his forehead against hers.
Lucas : I love you, Mrs. Scott.
Brooke : I love you too, Mr. Scott.
Lily clinging to his leg, Lucas lifts her into his arms, then places a sound kiss on her plump cheek.
Lucas : So, sweetie? Are you happy?
Lily : Yes! Can I call you daddy now?
The little girl's request takes Lucas by surprise, he doesn't know what to say and questions Brooke with his eyes.
Brooke : If Lucas agrees, of course, sweetie.
Lucas : Of course I agree. I'll be very happy if you call me daddy, my darling.
Overjoyed, Lily puts her little arms around Lucas' neck to give him a big hug. Lucas hugs her tightly, before taking Brooke's hand to walk up the aisle together, with their daughter. The guests applaud them, cry and laugh even more, then follow the bride and groom to join the tables. These are outdoors in the garden and are magnificently set for the meal.
After sharing a delicious dinner together, Lucas and Brooke are now undulating their bodies to the music of their opening dance. Lucas had placed his hand on Brooke's lower back, hugging her against his muscular body and whispering in her ear:
Lucas : Aren't you too tired, love?
Brooke : A little bit, but it'll be fine. Don't worry.
Lucas : Are you sure? We can slip away now, if you want.
Brooke : In a little while, okay? I want to enjoy everyone a little bit more.
Lucas : Okay.
Brooke : Have you seen Chase and Mia? They're still talking.
Lucas : Yeah, I saw. They haven't left each other's side since Mia arrived.
Brooke : It looks pretty promising, right?
Lucas : Yeah, as long as Karen doesn't come and ruin everything.
Following Lucas's gaze, Brooke can then see that Karen is walking resolutely towards her son and Mia. Brooke and Lucas can't help but laugh.
Brooke : Poor Chase and Mia! I feel sorry for them!
Lucas : Me too. Maybe we should go help them, shouldn't we?
Brooke : Yeah, I think so!
Hand in hand, Lucas and Brooke head towards the trio, before Brooke addresses Karen, as if nothing had happened.
Brooke : Karen, could you look after Lily for the rest of the evening? Since I'm a little tired, Lucas and I will be heading to our room soon.
Karen : Sure, Brooke. It's always a pleasure for me to take care of her. I'll leave you, in that case.
All eyes follow Karen as she walks away. As she joins Lily at the table, Chase thanks Brooke for skillfully getting rid of her mother.
Chase : Thanks, Brooke. You did us a great favor, you know?
Brooke : Yes, I know. When Lucas and I saw that your mother had activated her "matchmaker" mode, we had to act.
Chase : And you did well, because I had no idea how to get out of it!
Mia : Why? Is your mother really that terrible? I think she's pretty nice.
Chase : Nice, she is! That's not the problem! The problem is, she can't help but pry into my private life! She tried to set me up with Brooke as soon as she came to work for us!
Mia : Really?
Brooke : Yeah, but since my heart was already taken, it was doomed to failure!
Lucas : Taken by who?
Brooke : In your opinion?
Lucas smiles and kisses her languidly... then they decide to say goodbye to Chase and Mia, to leave them alone.
Brooke : Well, we'll let you talk quietly now. Enjoy it!
Chase : We'll try! Have a good evening, lovers!
Lucas : Have a good evening to both of you too.
Still hand in hand, Lucas and Brooke leave Chase and Mia, to slowly join the inn. As they enter the inn, Lucas suddenly takes Brooke in his arms, in front of the door of their room.
Brooke : What are you doing?
Lucas : It is customary for the groom to carry the bride across the threshold, Mrs. Scott.
Bursting out laughing, Brooke lets herself be carried into the room. Lucas closes the door with his foot and crosses the room to gently place her on the bed, before coming to lie down next to her. He caresses her face then her stomach, looking at her with tenderness, but also with a slight worry.
Lucas : Are you sure everything is okay?
Brooke : Yes, don't worry. I don't hurt at all.
Lucas : Good, that reassures me.
Relieved, Lucas starts to nibble Brooke's earlobe while one of his hands ventures behind her back.
Lucas : Let's see if this dress is easy to take off now!
Brooke's dress being indeed easy to take off, it doesn't take long for her to find herself seen in front of Lucas. Lucas' eyes immediately light up and his hands start to roam Brooke's body, while Brooke's undresses him. Finally skin against skin and husband and wife, Lucas and Brooke can't wait any longer to become one. Lucas slowly penetrates Brooke while she wraps her legs and arms around him... Their two bodies tightly entwined while Lucas starts to go in and out of Brooke slowly, his eyes in hers. Lucas thus prints a gentle cadence, his gaze overflowing with love for her. The pleasure finally reaching its peak, a cry escapes them, while the enjoyment surges over them. Eyes still in those of Brooke, Lucas then deposits a rain of kisses on her face, before taking her lips.
Lucas : I didn't hurt you, my love?
Brooke : No, you were perfect.
Exchanging a tender smile, Lucas then lays down on his back, pulling Brooke with him. His arms hold Brooke tightly against him as Brooke's head rests on his chest, the beating of her heart soothing him.
Lucas : Tomorrow, we have to pack our bags, my love.
Brooke : Oh really? Why?
Lucas : Because we're going on our honeymoon.
Brooke : Where?
Lucas : In Mexico, where I proposed to you. But that's not all. There, I'll have a surprise for you. A gift.
Brooke : Is that true? What is it?
Lucas : You'll see that once we get there, my love. But I'm sure you'll like it.
Brooke : Okay. I can't wait to be there then.
Brooke snuggles closer to Lucas, and they quickly fall asleep, their two bodies seeming to be one.
