4 years later

Nathan looked around their bedroom. A smile coming to his face. As he leaned over looking at Haley. Watching as she slept. He couldn't believe everything that had taken place during these last few years.

Nikki and Chris were in prison and would remain there for many years. It was released later that Nikki had told the police everything her and Chris had planned and given their previous charges it was all the courts needed to assure that neither of them would have the ability bring any harm to anyone else. Everyone in the family was able to breathe easier and go on living their lives with peace and freedom.

Karen and Keith's vow renewal was full of family and friends. Outdoors with wind chimes and the roar of the waves. The sky was clear and the birds were chirping. Lucas walked our mom down the aisle. Keith waiting for her. With a smile and love reflected back in his eyes. Their ceremony was beautiful and filled all of us with excitement for the future.

Now the couple was off traveling the world. Enjoying this next phase of their life. But they visited as much as possible. And always bringing souvenirs back.

Jake and Brooke's wedding was elegant and beautiful. You could see the joy and pure love from both of them. Jenny was the flower girl. And Sam walked with Brooke down the aisle. There was not one person without tears when Jake after saying their vows and officially being joined together as husband and wife. Turned to Sam slipping a bracelet on her wrist.

Telling her the story of the tradition behind it. Which started with Jenny who had a matching one. Ending with her. Assuring her that now she had a father who loved her and a sister who adored and looked up to her. The four of them now a family for the rest of their life.

It was a sight to see the reception lasting for hours ending in the early hours of the next day. The newly married couple going on a honeymoon to Italy and Paris. Returning home weeks later.

Lucas and Peyton ended up becoming parents to Twin boys. Gavin and Keith Nathan Scott. So, cute and full of personality. They are 2 years old now. Haley and I are their god parents.

As for the three of us. Emmy is now 5 years old. Beautiful, friendly, and into music and basketball. Life is in the happiest place it's been in a long time.

Haley woke up. Her hand going to his face. "Morning Nate." Haley said smiling looking up at him.

"Good morning Hales." Nathan said. Leaning over kissing her.

"I have to get up Emmy has school and I have rehearsal." "But your off today so stay in this bed and wait for me to get back." "We can have breakfast in bed and some kissing and celebrate." Haley said. Smiling at him.

Nathan smiled back at her. "Celebrate what.?" He asked. Looking up at her.

"The two of us." "The day we met." "Happy anniversary baby." She said. Leaning over kissing him. As she got out of bed.

"Happy anniversary Hales." Nathan said back. Watching as she got out of bed.
