Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of OTH. I own Liz and Jaiden.

Liz had just gotten back from the Café. She was making dinner and Jaiden was at the kitchen table coloring.

"We had a busy day today." Liz said to Jaiden while putting some chicken into the oven.

"Yeah, I liked those people we meet today. Not the lady at the store but the other people."

"They are nice people, Brooke and Peyton are coming over tomorrow to help me paint the house."

"I like Brooke. She is so happy."

Liz smiled at her daughter. She thought back to the Café. She couldn't believe how much had happened in the last five year. Brooke and Lucas were engaged even after that whole non-commitment ordeal. The whole Peyton and her biological mother mess was too much to think about. Dan had lived through the fire and was now mayor of the town. Nathan and Lucas were coaching the Tree Hill Ravens basketball team and were finally getting along. Liz was about to put the finishing touches on her dinner when the door bell rang.

"Jaiden don't touch anything, I don't want you to get hurt." Liz ran to the door.

"Dan"

Nathan was at the river court when he saw Haley walk up to him.

"I figured I find you here." Haley said sitting next to him.

"I'm sorry for not telling you." Nathan apologized

"I have been thinking since you were gone, what are the chances that its yours."

"Excuse me"

"Liz does get around, you don't know that it's yours."

"You don't even know her, how dare you judge her! And Jaiden is not an "it" she's my daughter." Nathan shouted

"You sound like your still in to her." Haley said getting jealous

"I still care for her, she was there for me when you left."

"You had to bring that up again."

"That will always be there Haley, it will never disappear."

"You having a daughter will never disappear."

"I don't want it too. Jaiden is my child and I love her a lot. You will just have to deal with it." Nathan got off the picnic table where he was sitting and walked away.

"Dan what are you doing here?" Liz asked while pushing Dan outside and shutting the door behind her.

"I wanted to see my granddaughter." Dan said with his smirk

"How did you know?"

"I heard you were back in town with a kid, rumor had it that it might be Nathan's, went to the hospital and since I'm the mayor of the town I got the paternity results with no problem. You really had to do a paternity test. That doesn't make you look to good."

"I did it for people like you. Now I repeat why are you here."

" I don't want to ruining my son's future. I want you to leave again."

Liz couldn't help but laugh.

"Nathan's future is set, he's married and has a great job, what more can there be."

"He can still go pro if he wanted. Now I will provide you with money to leave. You can make this easy but you have to leave." Dan said trying his best to intimidate her.

"Listen to me, you might scare ever other person in this town but you don't scare me. I am staying. Take your money and shove it up your ass." Liz walked back into her house leaving Dan stunned. He turned to leave when he noticed Nathan walking up to the house.

"What are you doing here?" Nathan asked his father.

"Just talking nothing more."

"Don't bother her."

"Don't worry son or should I say "Pop" now." Dan said walking away. Nathan shook his head and just walked into Liz's house

"Nathan, you need to learn to knock." Liz joked

"Can I talk to you in a different room."

"Don't worry I will just go up to my room where I cant hear anything." Jaiden said walking up the stairs.

"Wash your hands while your up there, dinner is almost ready."

Nathan and Liz walked into the living room and sat down on the couch

"I told Haley everything."

"How did she react?"

"She wants to believe that she's not mine."

"That well huh."

"We need to tell everyone else."

"I agree"

"Tomorrow night at 6 at the Café."

"Ok sounds good"

"Ok well I have to find a place to crash."

"Oh well my couch is free."

"No I better not. I will just go to Luke's"

"I'll see you tomorrow then."

They both got up and walked to the door. They hugged each other tight, the hug may have lasted longer then expected. Nathan walked out the door and headed to Lucas and Brooke's house. Inside Liz smelled her shirt that now smelled like Nathan. Her old feelings toward him were stronger then ever.
