Episode 6 Ch.1 Duty Calls

Hunter is at his apartment staring in the mirror trying to tie his tie. He has a suit on. Today was probably the most important day of his life. He was going to fight for custody of his unborn child, and he hoped that it came out the way that he wanted it too.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Nathan wakes up in his bed. He and Brooke had actually spent the night in the same bed. All they did was sleep, but at least it was a step up for them.

Brooke walks out of the closet fully dressed.

"Where are you going?"

"Your son has to appear in court today."

"Oh yeah I forgot."

"I think you should go. He needs you."

Nathan shook his head, "I can't do that."

"Why not, Nathan?" Brooke sighed. "I thought you wanted to change."

"I do want to change, but I don't agree with the decision that he is making. He's not ready to be a father."

"I hope you change your mind because whether or not you agree with his decision you are still his father, and he still needs you." Brooke walked out of the bedroom hoping that Nathan would change his mind.

……………………………………………………………………………………………….

Jamie and Breanne are lying in bed together. Her bedroom had become their bedroom. "You know I think I have forgotten what sunlight looks like." Breanne joked.

It seemed like they spent most of their time in bed together. They really didn't because they had Carter to raise, but whenever they could they wanted to be intimate with each other. They had a lot of time to make up for, and when they were together everything felt so perfect and so right.

"Yeah well we have to go out today. My brother is fighting for custody."

"Oh yeah…I almost forgot about that. We should take a shower together."

"Yeah that's not going to work….We would definitely be late if we did that."

"I can't believe your brother is actually fighting for custody. Most guys would run at the thought of a child."

"Yeah but my brother isn't like most guys. He's different, and I hope that the judge will see that today."

"Well we better get ready so you can watch your brother win custody of his unborn child." Breanne kissed him.

"Five more minutes won't hurt us…" He fell on top of her kissing her lips, and she giggled.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………..

McKenzie is staring at her stomach in the mirror. "Wow…"

Laura walks in and touches her shoulder. "Everything is going to be okay."

"No it's not. Not this time Laura."

McKenzie was almost positive that things would not get better.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Hunter answers the door to see Brooke.

"Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah as ready as I'll ever be." Hunter looked around Brooke. "Dad didn't want to come?"

"I'm sorry. I couldn't get him to come."

Hunter shrugged, "It's okay. I didn't figure he would come anyway. At least you're here."

…………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Nathan was sitting on his bed looking at a picture of Haley. "I don't know what to do with Hunter."

"Yeah you do."

He turned around to see Peyton standing at the door.

"Sawyer, what are you doing here?"

Peyton walked further into the room. "Do you remember when we were dating?"

"Yeah I was an ass."

"Yeah you were," Peyton smiled. "But after we broke up you fell in love with Haley, and she was the best thing that ever happened to you. She made you a better man."

"Yeah I know that. What does that have to do with anything?"

"You grew up after you fell in love with a good woman. Hunter is already a strong, smart, young man. He is exactly what you and Haley wanted him to be. You have done good with him, and you may not agree with his decision, but just think about what Haley would do if she was here."

"She'd be by his side."

"Yeah she probably would, but where are you?"

Nathan sighed and looked at Peyton. He knew that she was right.


So I always like Peyton and Nathan scenes. I almost forget sometimes that they even dated.

So what did you guys think? Alot of this episode has to do with the trial, but there are still a few other things happening. Lily will be in the next chapter I know a lot of you guys like her so I tried to keep her in most of the chapters, but she didn't fit in this one.

I'll update soon I promise.

Thanks to all of those who reviewed for the last episode. You guys make me so happy.

Lukeandlorelaidanes: You are right I get baby happy, but I feel like it goes with the stories. I'm not gonna tell you if you are right or wrong about Summer but you may be surprised. I did like your idea though. It was pretty good. And I think by the end of this part we should know who the Emma's dad is. I would love to hear your thoughts on who you think it is. Your ideas may be so good that I end up changing my original plan.

LeytonLove123: I promise the lily/aidan/spencer love triangle is coming to an end very soon, and once it ends it will never happen again. So whoever she chooses I can tell you that for the most part they will stay together. You may be on to something with Jenny.

Suze 18: I have to agree with you. I feel sorry for Spencer too. Lily just needs to make up her mind and stop hiding her feelings.

A Amanda A: Thanks so much for always trying to leave a review. I really appreciate it.

Saints and Sailors: I took your advice with Nathan and Brooke. I'm hoping they can work things out.

Juzzy88: Thanks for leaving a review whenever you can I really appreciate it so much.

BugsyM39: I'm glad to hear that you read my stories and you like them. It always feels good to have someone like your stories. So thanks...
