The next thing I knew I woke up and it was 10:00 am. Since there was no school I was not late for anything, for a change. I was still in my clothes from the night before, and I looked at myself in the mirror. Besides badly needing a shower, I still was the same brown haired, brown eyed, girl I've always been.

(Downstairs.)

"Hey Martin, would you mind if I took a shower?" I asked.

"Lauren, you don't need to ask, you live here now too." Martin said. "But just try to hurry Scott and Peter should be here within the hour."

Peter, god I hated that name. It was the jerks name. I don't even know why after all those years, that I still kept his picture, that mother gave me when I was a little girl. I missed him though, because even someone is flesh and blood, you love them, even if they don't love you!

(Driving.)

"So how do you feel about meeting Nicole's daughter Lauren?" Peter asked Scott.

"A little nervous, I guess. I never had a sister before." Scott replied.

"Just take it one step at a time." Peter suggested.

( At the house.)

"How was the shower?" Mom asked.

"Like you would really care. How come you are acting all motherly-like lately? Ist it just now that suddenly you relized Martin is watching and you need to start being a mother?"

"Lauren, hunny, we need to sit down later and have a talk about your attitude. I do not want to put up with it anymore and either with Martin." Nicole replied.

"Yeah, whatever mom." I sarcastically said going upstairs.

(A few Minutes Later)

"A car is here. That is probably Scott and Peter. I should go down and greet them." Martin said going to the door.

Meanwhile I heard this and went downstairs sat on the couch when the door opened and in walked Martin and two other people. I gazed at the man with the dark brown hair. I swore I knew that hair. I gasped. Oh my god I thought . I got up and ran upstairs hitting one of the three men. As soon as I got to my room I closed the door and locked it, ran to the dresser, got the pictured of my father and realized that the man downstairs was him. I froze, the day I had waited for was here and I had the opposite reaction I thought I would have. Feeling overwhelmed I just slid down the wall, holding the picture next to my heart, as I began to cry.

(Mean while back downstairs.)

"What is going on?" Scott asked.

"I have no idea." Martin said in reply to Scott's question. "Nicole, there here."

Walking into the room not paying attention to the brown haired man, Nicole answered "Ok I am coming, where is..." Nicole froze, "Peter."

"Nicole." Peter said. "You have a daughter?"

"Peter she is yours, you ran off before I could tell you. I am so sorry." Nicole said in more shock then anything.

"You mean she is mine?"

"Yes Peter. What happened to you, I tried to get a hold of you but you disappeared?"

"I went away." Peter sighed.

"Well, I could have told you that. "Nicole said sarcastically still shock from seeing the man who had vanished off the face of the earth, before they were able to share the most precious gift, that he could ever give her.
