Thank you for the reviews I have gotten so far. This is my first story ever, so really I would love to know if this is worth writing. This Chapter will deal with Lena finding out. The next Chapter will be the Tree Hill Gang and the reaction of finding out about Lena.

Lena has been sitting in her mother's office for the last 20mins. She arrived from the airport and was informed that Mark Riley was in a meeting. She just nodded her head and told them she will be in her mother's office and to let Mark know that. Lena couldn't help but take in her mother's office. Her mother has had the same office for as long as she could remember. Her mother was known to be one of the best lawyers in the state of North Carolina. She had started this firm with Mark when Lena was only 8years old. Lena remembered always thinking her mom was the coolest because she got to put bad people away. Lena couldn't help but to look at all the photographs her mom kept in the office. She looked at them as if she was looking at them for the first time. One wouldn't know at that moment if they saw her doing that, that most of the pictures she had framed as well in her apartment across the pond. She came across her favorite of all photos taken it was one of the whole family taken about 2years ago. She loved the photo because it was a candid photo of the family in the kitchen attempting to make chocolate chip cookies. She couldn't help but smile, even with a few tears streaming down her face at the picture. She could remember that day as if it was just yesterday. They were all home for a holiday and they were in the mood for some cookies. They were all laughing and dancing and joking around while they made the batter for the cookies. She then remembers Greg her step-father look at her and she then saw a spark of mischievous glimmer in his eyes, before she knew it he had thrown cookie batter at her. Next thing she knew they were all throwing it all over each other having one of the best times with each other. The picture was taken after they all had ran out of batter and were all just laughing and leaning against the cabinets in the kitchen. The housekeeper Megan couldn't help but take the picture of the family covered in cookie batter. Lena wipes her eyes just when she hears her mother's office door open. She walks over to her mother's desk and sits down in her chair, she then looks up to greet Mark with nothing more than a small smile.

"Lena I am-"

"Mark please do not tell me you are sorry. All day people are telling me they are sorry, I just can't take it anymore, please tell me what is going to happen now and what still needs to happen. I need to keep moving right now. Mark I know you are my mother's partner and she trusted you and I know this must be hard on you as well. So please tell me what is going on!" (Yes I understand that she isn't as emotional as maybe she should be, but remember for one thing she is a part of Dan Scott. Also I will be having flashbacks that will show real emotion. )

Mark can only smile at this young girl sitting in front of him, knowing she must be in the most pain she has ever felt but yet trying to be strong.

"Lena there is a reason I had you come into the office as soon as you landed. There were instructions left in your mother's will that we need to address."



Lena stands up and goes to stand right in front of Mark. She looks him straight in the eyes puts a smile on her face and only nodes her head. But the statement she says right after shocks the hell out of Mark.

"We need to address Dan Scott correct?"

Mark couldn't help but start to laugh after the shock of her statement wore off. He then looks right at her and says" your mother always did say you were too smart for your own good. Yes Lena we need to address Dan Scott. This was actually what your mother wanted you home for last month for your birthday."

"I figured that was what it was about."

"It might be easier for me if you let me know what you already know."

"To be honest just his name, I found my birth certificate when I was five. I saw his name on it. That is when I first asked my mother about who my father was. She told me when the time was right she would let me know."

"Well then that's a start. Yes Dan Scott is your father. Your mother has been keeping tabs on him since before you were born. She knew one day she would tell you and thought it would be better to have a lot of information for you. I know you must have a lot of questions. However due to your mother's will Dan Scott is being told about you as we speak."

Lena leaned back on the desk behind her and closed her eyes. She brought her fingers up to message her temples. After a moment she opens her eyes. Mark can tell that there are unshed tears in her eyes. But he has watched this young woman grow up before his own eyes and knows that she will shed those tears in her own time.

"Ok Mark I guess we need to get started with this. Tell me what my mother wanted me to do."

Mark nodes his head and turns to walk to the door. He opens the door and calls to Mrs. Logan, "Mrs. Logan can you please bring in the five boxes from my office."

Lena is a little shock to hear this request.

"What are the boxes for?"

Before Mark could respond, Mrs. Logan and 3 men walk into the office with boxes. They sit the boxes on the conference table in the office and then leave.

Lena is in shock again at the size of the boxes. She doesn't know exactly what to think.

"The answer to your question Lena is the boxes contain everything you could possible ever know about Dan Scott and his life for the past 21years."

Lena is a little scared but she walks over to the table. She then opens the box that reads on the side "Dan Scott 1" with shaky hands she opens the top of the box. She then proceeds to pick up the first 

folder in the box. Just like her father only 2 hours away she opens the folder and with barley a whisper Mark hears her say

"Daniel Anthony Scott"

It has been almost 7hours since she started to go through all the information her mother had provided for her and she still couldn't get over the shock of everything in the boxes. She now is in the back of the limo with the same five boxes she has spent the last 7 hours with being driven home, where she hasn't been in for almost a year. When they get closer to the estate David her driver makes a comment that actually puts a real smile on Lena's face since she received the phone call that changed her life.

"It seems that every light in the house is on."

"It's the only way it would be." Lena speaks softly to the driver.

David is a little confused on the statement, but doesn't question it because he catches Lena's face from the rear view mirror and sees a smile on the young woman's face.

Lena is standing in front of her childhood home's door with so much emotions she is not sure if she can walk through the door. All of a sudden she hears a song she hadn't heard in quite awhile being played from inside the house. She then reaches for the door knob and opens the door. She walks through the door and sees the only person that could understand what she is going through standing with his arms wide open for her. She doesn't think twice and she runs and jumps in his strong arms. With the feeling of home from his strong arms she then starts to break down.

"Finn you came" she cries softly in his ear.

He simply states the same statement from a few moments ago.

"Love, it's the only way it would be."

Both of them just lose it from there. Lena lets every feeling she has ever had come out with her tears while she holds on to dear life to her best friend Finn Morgan. Finn knows exactly where Lena is right now with her emotions because 5years ago he was in the same position. He knew if it wasn't for Lena he wouldn't be here today. Finn through his own tears holds Lena and whispers to her over and over again. "I promise you Tink I will never leave you. "

So I really hope there are people out there that like this story. Please review. Please let me know what I need to do to improve it or if you simply like it. There might be other stories out there like this but I haven't come across any yet. Oh yeah I am not sure if it was every said on the show Dan's middle name or not so I just made it up. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
