Nathan's Return
A dark haired man stood outside a big white house. His wife and children were already in the car.
"Goodbye," he whispered to the wind. He wiped away a tear, and got into the car. It was a long drive to Tree Hill, but it would be worth it. Nathan's wife, Melissa, knew about his past in Tree Hill, and had accepted him for who he was. Together, they had 6 children: 3 boys and 3 girls. First came the twins who were named David Andrew and Nicholas Daniel. After that came the triplets, Christopher Lucas, Emma Peyton, and Leah Haley. The last one born was Ashley Brooke. Melissa was also pregnant (Currently, the twins are 6, the triplets are 4, and the singleton is 2). It would take at least four hours to get to his birthplace. So, they started out at 5 in the afternoon, hoping to be there at night. Most of their stuff was moved, so only a little bit of stuff was left. He hoped to make peace with his past.
At Karen's café, four hours later, a meeting was taking place. The kids were scattered around playing various games, as it was 9:00 at night. The café was still open until 10. All the adults were discussing a very important topic: Nathan Daniel Scott.
"He's coming back today," Lucas sighed.
"What should we do?" asked Peyton, who was holding Andy.
"We can't do anything. He has a family," came the blonde man's reply.
"He does?" asked Haley, Brooke, and Peyton. Lucas nodded, and showed them pictures. One was of Nathan and a blonde haired, green-eyed woman named Melissa, who looked pregnant. The next one was a picture of two little blonde haired green eyes boys, David and Nicolas. The next one was of the three little blonde haired blue-eyed children, Christopher, Emma, and Leah. The last one was of a little brown haired, green-eyed little girl, Ashley. All of a sudden, the bell chimed, signaling a customer. Karen turned around, and her eyes went wide. Nathan, Melissa, Dave, Nick, Chris, Emma, and Leah stood there. Nathan was carrying Ashley who was asleep. Melissa put her hands up.
"We just came by to let you know that we were in town. Dan and Deb are dead," she said. Then, they walked out. All except one little blonde boy.
About five minutes later, Nathan's family was packed up. They got halfway to the house before realizing that Chris was missing. He doubled back to get his son. Meanwhile, at Karen's Café, a little boy walked out of the bathroom. He looked around for his mommy and daddy. He began to cry, realizing that they had left him at the strange place. He looked around spotting a man that looked like him. He walked over.
"Can you help me find my mommy and daddy?" Chris asked Lucas. Lucas nodded, not wanting to upset the young boy further. Lucas called the number on the letter, and waited for Nathan or Melissa to pick up. It would be funny if Nathan hadn't noticed.
"Hello?" Nathan asked frantically. Lucas thought Nathan would never worry about anyone other than himself.
"Hey Nate, its Lu-" Nathan interrupted.
"Can't talk right now Luke. Chris is missing," he said.
"Calm down man. Chris is here," he said. He heard Nathan sigh, and relay the news to Melissa. Nathan said he'd be here soon. Lucas hung up and turned to Chris.
"Your mommy and daddy will be here soon," he said to the child. Chris smiled, and hugged Lucas. Brooke silently awed at the slight. It was adorable. Lucas and little Chris looked so much alike. Both had blonde hair and the traditional Scott blue eyes. It was so cute.
Ten minutes later, Nathan burst in and picked Chris up in a hug. Nathan smiled his thanks and walked out laughing with his son. After he was gone, Peyton turned to Lucas.
"That was...weird," she said. Everyone else shrugged. They talked for a few more minutes before Kate, Sam, Lizzy, and Andy fell asleep. Then, they split up. Tomorrow was a school day.
The next day Michael and Jessie were sitting in their class, talking about meeting their cousins last night. All of a sudden Miss Harrison walked in with Dave and Nick behind her. The boys were obviously shy, and looked to the floor. Miss Harrison introduced them.
"Class, this is David and Nicholas Scott," she said. James Marshall raised his hand.
"Are you related to Mike?" he questioned. Dave and Nick locked eyes with Jessie and Mike. They nodded.
"Yes," the twins said in unison. Everyone smiled. Dave and Nick sat down. They knew just as much as everyone else. Miss Harrison set them up next to Jessie and Mike. They got along well.
After lunch, it was recess. Jessie and Mike went off to play with their friends. Dave and Nick stood by the wall. They didn't know anyone besides their cousins. As they were standing there talking, a boy came up to him. It was Adrian King, the bully. He began taunting them, and hitting them. That was until Jenny noticed. All the kids were out on the playground now. She got Victor and Victoria to walk over with her. When they reached them, Jenny tapped on his shoulder.
"What are you doing to my cousins?" she asked. Adrian gulped.
"N-n-nothing," he stuttered. Jenny, Victor, and Victoria just glared at him until he ran away. They turned to the 6-year-olds.
"Are you ok?" the twins asked in unison. They both nodded. Victor made it his personal responsibility to watch them for the rest of recess. He actually had fun with the younger twins.
That afternoon, they rode the bus home with Mike and Jessie. Dave and Andy got off the bus and walked into their very large house. Melissa was at the table.
"How was your day?" asked Melissa. The twins said it was ok, and settled down to do homework.
