Nathan had just gotten home from work, when he saw a baby seat on the porch. He went over, and there was a sleeping baby with a note addressed to Logan. Nathan was relieved, and amazed at the same time. Megan hadnt gone through with the abortion, like she told Logan she had. Nathan's anger towards Megan came out. His son went through hell trying to get over this girl, and their baby. Logan was getting on with his life. Not that he minded or anything. He looked down at his sleeping grandchild, which he assumed to be a girl, concidering the fact that she had a pink onesie on.
Nathan picked the carseat up and walked inside. Brooke was in the kitchen. She looked at Nathan confused.
"Nathan whats..." She said, but he cut her off.
"Look at her ." Nathan said. Brooke looked at the baby, and she knew it was her grandchild. She looked just like Logan. There was no doubt that this baby wasnt Logans. She was beautiful.
"Megan lied then?" Brooke asked as she lifted the baby out of her seat. She sat down, holding her in her arms.
"Apparently." Nathan said. "Logan's going to be suprised."
"He'll be happy too. This is going to change his plans though isnt it?" She asked.
"It will, but Logan's a good kid, he'll make the right choices." Nathan said. "I wonder what her name is."
"It's probably in the letter, but its for Logan to open, not us." Brooke said.
"She's beautiful." Nathan smiled as he walked behind his wife and looked at his granddaughter.
Brooke smiled, just then Katie,Natalie, and Addie walked in.
"Whoa Mrs. S, you had my moms name sake?" Addie asked.
Natalie looked at her half sister. "She's clearly still pregnant. Mom who's baby is that?" She asked.
Katie sat her soccer ball on the ground.
"Katie, Natalie meet your niece." Nathan said.
"That means..." Natalie started but Katie finished. "Megan lied."
"Exactly." Brooke said. "It's okay though, I mean its a suprise that a baby was left at our doorstep, but its way better then what we thought happened." Brooke said.
"Awww. She's so cute." Addie said. The baby had dark hair, which rain in the family, and blue eyes, and a cute nose.
"Logan's going to be so happy." Katie said.
"Does that mean he wont go into the army for real?" Addie asked.
"We dont know yet kiddo, why dont we worry about Logan meeting his daughter for the first time first." Nathan said.
"Isnt it time to get Logan?" Katie asked.
"Yeah. We should get to the airport." Brooke said.
"Can you three handle Isabelle and Josh?" Nathan asked.
"Sure can." Natalie said. She had just turned 15 and she could handle a 5 and 9 year old.
Brooke put the baby in the carseat, and grabbed the letter. Nathan and Brooke went to the car, and put the baby in the backseat, then went to the airport.
They parked the car.
"You go in, and take him the letter, let him read it, and I'll come in a few minutes later." Brooke said.
"Alright." He kissed his wife and grabbed the letter.
Nathan walked into the airport and he saw soldiers everywhere, in their uniforms, looking for their families. Then he spotted his oldest son talking to one of his friends. Nathan walked over to him. Logan stopped talking when he saw his dad. He went over and hugged him.
"Hey dad." Logan said.
"How are you?" Nathan asked.
"I'm good, glad to be home. How is everyone?" Logan asked.
"Fine. Um.. I have something for you." Nathan said as he handed Logan the letter, Logan noticed the hand writting as Megan's.
Logan opened in and began reading it.
Logan,
I am sorry for the way things ended with us, I'm sorry I lied to you, about our child. I couldnt go through with it, I couldnt kill our baby. I cant take care of her either, so I'm leaving her in your care. I signed over all rights to you, shes completely yours. I'm sorry things have to be like this, they just do. I love you so much, and I always will. Just make sure you let her know who her mother is. Her name is Daniella Marie Scott. I know it's one of the names we talked about. Her birthday is June 25th. All of her papers are in the diaper bag. Please give her what I couldnt. I know you can with that wonderful family you have. Dont try to find me, you wont be able to. I will always love you, and Daniella.
-Megan.
Logan sat down. All of this was coming so fast, and it was overwelming. Deep inside he was thrilled, but he was also terrified. He didnt think he could do this without Megan.
"Where is the baby?" Logan said.
"Meet your daughter Logan." Brooke said from behind him. He turned around and his mother was holding his daughter in her arms. She was wide awake, and she was beautiful.
"Wanna hold her?" Brooke asked. Logan nodded and Brooke put the baby in her fathers arms. Logan was so overjoyed.
"According to Megan's letter her name is Daniella." Logan told his parents.
"A beautiful name for a beautiful baby." Nathan said. Brooke smiled then screamed in pain.
"My water just broke." Brooke said.

The cheerleading camp Maddie was at was located at UNC. She was having a blast. She got to stay in a dorm, and it was so much fun for her. When everyone got there the first day all 500 girls were split up into 20 teams. They had each been given a uniform, and a professional coach. They had drills, and workshops in the mornings, and competitions in the evenings. College scouts were at the competetions. Maddie was hoping to impress the one from UNC.
Maddie had just finished lunch in one of the cafeterias, and she had about an hour of recreation time, which meant she could do what she wanted for an hour. Maddie went back to the dorm and picked up her cell phone. She had 2 texts. She read them all in the order she recieved them.
Maddie:Hey baby, I havent talked to you in a few days, wanted to see how you were, text me when you can. - Love you. Justin.
Maddie smiled and texted him back.
Just: Sorry I havent texted, things have been crazy, but I have about an hour til I have to get ready, so hopefully you arent busy.- XoXo Mads.
Maddie read the next one.
Maddie: Your mother's water broke, we're headed to the hospital, we'll call you when Hayley is born.Love you. - Dad.
Brooke decided to change the spelling of the babys name so it wasnt as confusing.
She texted back.
Daddy: Tell mommy I'm thinking of her, and I want pictures, so send me some. I need a new background for my phone anyways. - Mads.
Maddie screamed in delight, and then one of her friends came over.
"Whats wrong?" she said.
"Nothing! My mom's having the baby." she smiled.
"Aww Maddie thats great." Just then Maddie's phone vibrated. She flipped it open, and smiled when she saw it was her boy.
"Let me guess, that hot college boyfriend of yours texting you?" Her friend Amie asked her.
"Uh huh." Maddie smiled as she read the text.
Hey, I'll be here to text you, I dont work until 7. You having fun?" He texted her back.
Maddie had shown her friends at camp pictures of her and Justin, and they all thought he was hot. Maddie loved the compliments.
"Yes, I'm having lots of fun, but I miss you. OMGoodness. Mom's in labor."
Maddie smiled and looked at her friend.
"I'm having fun here, but I'm glad to be going home soon. I miss my family." Maddie smiled.
" I miss mine too." Amie said.
Her phone buzzed.
"I know. Your dad just called. I also heard about Logan..."
Maddie texted back.
"What about Logan?"
Maddie looked at Amie. "He said he also heard about Logan. I wonder whats going on." Maddie said.
She looked at her phone.
"No one told you yet? Well, Logan's home, and Megan lied to him about the baby, she had the baby and left her on your doorstep. Logans excited, but terrified too. Megan doesnt want anything to do with the baby."
Maddie picked up her phone and called her boyfriend.
"When did this happen?" Maddie asked.
"This morning. Logan wanted to tell you, but hes at your house explaining things to your siblings" Justin told her.
"Aww. I'm going to call him. I'll talk to you later okay? I love you." She said.
"I love you too. Be careful with that ankle." He said before hanging up. Maddie had hurt her ankle earlier that week but she was fine.
She dialed Logans number and waited for an answer.
"Hello?' He said.
"Hey. Justin just told me.. aww I'm so happy for you." She said.
"Thanks Maddie. She's beautiful. Her name is Daniella." He said, he was feeding her a bottle as he spoke to his sister.
"I cant wait to see her. Listen I got to get going, but call me when Hayley is born, and send me a picture of my neice." Maddie said.
"I will do both." They both hung up.
Maddie went to the main gym and found her team, and they warmed up.

Addie and Natalie had just gotten back to Luke's apartment from Brooke and Nathan's. They werent surpised to find their dad's girlfriend Shelby sitting on the couch painting her nails. She was such a blonde bimbo, neither one of the sisters could stand her, and their dad was completely oblivious to it all.
"Where is dad?" Natalie asked.
"Out. He asked me to watch you little brats." She said.
"Whatever." Addie said as she grabbed the remote and turned the channel.
"I was watching that." Shelby said.
"I care why?" Addie asked.
Natalie just laughed. Then they heard the door open. Natalie and Addie went over and greeted their dad.
"Daddy. Guess what. Megan lied, Logan has the baby, and Aunt Brooke just want into labor." Addie said.
"Wow. Thats great." Luke said. He kissed each of his daughters on the forehead, then kissed Shelby on the lips. Addie and Natalie each gave the other a look that said this girl has got to go. They were going to get their dad back.

About 6 hours later baby Hayley was brought into this world. She looked just like her parents. Brooke had Nathan take losts of pictures, and he sent them to Maddie. Maddie was looking through them as she was laying on her bed playing with her phone.
Logan was getting used to this whole being a father thing, but looking at his daughter, made him miss her mother a lot. He was also thinking about how he could take care of her, and be in the army. His plans needed to change.
Katie and Natalie were at their grandmothers house. They didnt want to be at Lukes, when Shelby was there. They didnt like her one bit.
Josh was once again playing with his game.
Isabelle was admiring her niece who was in her older brothers arms.

It was 2 AM, and Maddies phone was going off.
Maddie saw it was Justin.
"Hello." She said sleepily.
"Maddie. I need to talk to you." He said.
"Whats wrong?" She asked worriedly.
"Come outside the dorm. I'm here." He said. He drove all the way down to Chapel Hill, from Tree Hill, just for her.
She got out of bed, and went down the stairs quickly. Justin was outside.
She hugged him and kissed him softly.
"Maddie, I cant wait much longer to tell you this I've been thinking about this a while, I love you so much, and I want to be with you for the rest of our lives. You're the one I want to grow old with, who I want to have children with. It's you Maddie. Will you marry me Madaline Scott?" He asked as he got down on one knee and pulled a diamond ring out.
Maddie was so shocked, and happy. She wasnt sure, she was worried because she was so young.
"You know I want to, but can I have some time, before I give you a real answer." She asked him.
"Yeah." He smiled and she kissed him passionately.
