A/N: Hey guys! Here's a Father's Day treat! Enjoy the next 2 chapters!

"True Colors"

It's been another gruesome week and Tori was finally release from the hospital. The Hanson's were obligated to stay with Tori in her Blue Bay Harbor home until it was her time to leave and say goodbye. Dr. Evans and Dr. Crystal Lynn would come by the house frequently for her treatment and special medical care ordered by the hospital. It was only a matter of months now till the treatment goes fatal. However, doctors were surprised to see the young blonde fighting for her life and growing much stronger than usual since many expected Tori to pass on weeks ago. Dr. Evans believed it was because of Hunter, and with that...there was a slight possibility that Tori may live after all.

Meanwhile, the guys stood outside the front lawn, playing a game of football. It was Hunter and Dustin against Shane and Blake as Cam plays referee. The Hanson's, including Tori sat on a swinging chair and watch on from the front porch.

"You are so lucky." Her big sister Roni sighs in awed. "Hunter is so hot." She noticed as soon as he took his shirt off.

The blonde shot a glance at her and chuckles. "Don't you have a husband?"

She pursed her lips. "Yeah, but you're boyfriend is so much hotter. I wonder how he is in bed.... you would know right?"

"Veronica!" Mrs. Hanson snaps.

"Sorry, Mom."

Their father rolls his eyes from behind.

"Ready!!!!" Hunter shouts out as he bents over in a ready position. This was definitely turning Roni on. "Ready!!! SET!!! GO!" He throws the ball to Dustin from underneath him and runs across the grass. Shane comes running after him as Blake attempts to tackle Dustin down.

"HEADS UP, DUDE!" The goofball yells out as he throws the football up into the air while Blake knocks him down to the ground. Hunter goes running as fast as his legs could take him when suddenly the ball came up too short and was intercepted by Shane. He laughs evilly while running towards the touchdown goal, and doing a victory dance right after. Cam raises his hands up and says the touchdown was good.

"WHOO, BABY! It's all tied up now!"

Mr. Hanson stood up and gives the other team a standing ovation. "Great job, boys! Way to hustle!"

Hunter looks up at him while wiping the sweat off his forehead. "He sure hates me." The dirty blonde sighs as Dustin pats him on the back.

"Dude, it's been only a few weeks. Give it some time, he'll adjust to you sooner or later." He reassures him breathlessly.

Hunter groans. "But why not sooner? I mean...I've tried getting acquaintance with him several times, but it's like he doesn't even want to do anything with me." He turns away and stares at their direction. "Well at least Tori's mom is cool with me."

"You know, sweetie..." Mrs. Hanson wraps her arms around her husband. "Hunter is quite a gentleman." He rolls his eyes at the comment. "Please give him a chance."

He slowly turns to her. "Are you out of your mind?! That boy did nothing, but hurt her!" Mrs. Hanson slides her hands off him as he rises up from his seat in complete outrage. "I don't understand. What do you see in that boy anyway?"

"He has a good heart, Sam and I couldn't think of anyone else better for our daughter."

He grunted with a ridiculous laugh. "Oh my God...you are so blind! Look around you, Maria. He is the father of another woman's baby! Do you actually think it's healthy for their relationship?!"

Mrs. Hanson places a hand on one side of her hip. "For goodness sake. You are the blind one, Sam! Can't you see how happy she is with him, regardless with the fact that he shares a child with someone else?!" She questions impatiently. The old man averts from her gaze as he stares off at Tori and Hunter, holding hands and touching noses with each other. The scene was starting to irritate him as Mrs. Hanson notices the disapproval look in his eyes. "Look at me, Sam." He turns around and faces his wife. "Remember, Hunter is the father of our diseased grandchild. You wouldn't want the little angel above to see that his or her grandpa isn't getting along with its father, now do you?"

He looks down, deep in thought. "No, "Her husband whispers. "Of course not."

"Well then. Do it for our lost grandchild's sake! You know, if it weren't for him...our daughter would be long gone! But because of Hunter, she's still alive. Please, Sam! I'm begging you! Accept his hand in marrying Victoria!"

Mr. Hanson and Voni shot a glance at her. "MARRIAGE?!" He gasps in shock. "Oh no. I don't think so! First you ask me to make peace with him...and now marriage?!"

"Let me explain..."

He laughs. "Uh Yes! Please do!"

Mrs. Hanson tries to calm her husband down as she pulls him towards her where they were no longer seen. Voni sneakily stood behind them to listen. "Hunter came to me and we had this long talk. Did you know that he was adopted?"

He rolls his eyes once again. "No wonder his real parents left him."

"SAM!" She retorts back.

Mr. Hanson sighs. "Okay, I'm sorry. But what does that have to do with all this?

"Well, his adopted parents passed away and all he had left was his younger brother, Blake. Ever since it was just the two boys living on their own together and experiencing hardships without the people who gave them a life." She explains sincerely. He looks down and listens some more. "And you know the one thing that really got to me?"

"What's that?" He asks, looking up.

"Hunter thought that his happiness would no longer be complete without them; without the love of his parents. But you know what? All that change. And because of our daughter, she completed his life once again."

He looks down, not sure what to say...or what to do. Hunter's past was suddenly getting to him.

"Then," she continues on, plastering a warm smile. "He mentioned how he wouldn't marry Victoria without the father's consent, yah know." Mr. Hanson looks up as she nudges his shoulders. "That's right...he wants your love and blessing, Sam. He wants to know you better without being pushed away..."

"Look, Maria--"

"Please." She begs, stopping him. "At least give it a chance. Go talk to him. Do it for me...better yet...do it for Victoria's sake...and her happiness. Make her dreams come true before it's all too late..."

Mr. Hanson searches carefully into his wife's pleading eyes. Was he going to do it? Was he going to fulfill her wishes? He sighs, averting from her gaze.

I can't believe I'm going to be doing this, the old man thought. Let's just hope it's worth the shot.

"Okay, enough you two." Shane, Blake, Dustin, and Cam approach the loving couple. "It's time to see who wins this game once and for all." Tori and Hunter were force to break off their long, affectionate kiss when suddenly Natalie comes strutting along in the neighborhood, pushing a stroller in front of her.

"Hey, guys!" She waves off to them with a cheery smile.

"Ah, Natalie!" Mr. Hanson calls out to her first. She looks up and groans at his appearance. Ugh, why is he here? The model thought grudgingly. "May I speak with you for a moment?" He asks.

Dustin was getting a weird vibe about this due to the serious tone coming from the old man.

"Why not?" Natalie laughs nervously. I'll be right back." She tells the others as she hands the stroller over to them.

Tori watches on curiously as the two walk inside the house. "I wonder what my dad wants with her."

Shane shrugs. "Beats me."

Dustin looks down with a thought in mind. "Hey, Tor. You don't mind if I go get a drink?" He asks.

"No, go ahead. Knock yourself out."

He smiles. "Thanks."

"What do you want, Mr. Hanson?" Natalie groans as soon as they situated themselves in the living room. "You shouldn't worry so much in your age. No one will find out!" She reassures him with a smile. "It's safe."

He faces her and sighs deeply. "Listen. It's time they know the truth."

Natalie wrinkles her forehead. "The truth?" She questions him. "The truth about what?"

"About Hunter not being the real father of your child."

Natalie expresses a stunning look on her face. She sure didn't see this one coming. "Are you nuts?!" She laughs out of sarcasm. "What in the blue hell would make you think I would do that?!"

"Natalie, please...Hunter deserves to know the truth. He is living under a lie for God's sake! Don't hurt him anymore. He has lost so much..."

"Oh my God..." The model nods her head in disbelief. "Okay...what happened to you? I remember just weeks ago, you wouldn't stop hating on Hunter...and now you have sympathy for him?! I thought you didn't want him all over your daughter!"

Mr. Hanson sighs. "Well I was wrong, Natalie. What they have is very rare. And as much as I hate letting her go, I must accept it and move on with my life. Face it, my dear. Your plan in deceiving Hunter won't win him over."

Natalie was beginning to get really angry as she clenches her fist together. "You are dead wrong! He will come back to me!"

"How?" He questions her. "He loves my daughter, and she happens to love him back. Both are completely stubborn. There's no way, Natalie...even if you use this child to get to him...it won't work. You must tell them the truth before things get any worst."

She folds her arms, not willing to listen to any more. "Whatever. Just wait till your daughter dies. Then Hunter would have bring his attention to me."

Mr. Hanson glares at her. "You bitch."

"DAD!" Tori gasps from behind as they turn around to face her. "How can you say that?!"

Mr. Hanson opens his mouth and backfires. It was a shame that she didn't walk in earlier, Natalie thought evilly.

He faces his daughter, completely at a loss for words. "Victoria, I--I..." The model looks on with a malice grin. Things were going her way just fine. She didn't need his help. "It's not what--"

"Tor, it's not his fault." A familiar voice spoke up as they all turn to the figure standing before them. Natalie's eyes widens in fear at the sight of Dustin. Oh no, she thought worriedly, he knows. The goofball shot a glace at her. "I agree with your father for once. Natalie is a bitch! A lying bitch!" He added crushingly.

Tori wrinkles her forehead in confusion. She was surprise to hear it all crom from Dustin. He was supposed to be the happy-go-lucky guy that all of a sudden turned serious and angry. Tori was sure not use to it. "Okay...what is going on here?" She asks while sitting down on the couch, feeling lightheaded with all the commotion. "I don't understand."

Dustin sighs and points to the person responsible for all this. "Natalie will tell you. Go on, Natalie. Tell her." Tori turns to her suspiciously as she bit her lip. "Come on. We're all waiting."

"I don't know what you're talking about, Dustin."

"Oh please!" He chuckles in disbelief. "Stop trying to act so innocent! I know why Nathan refuses to go near Hunter. And I know why you're keeping this secret of yours." Natalie stares at the floor and frowns. "You might as well tell them before I do."

"Alright!" She yells, defeated. Dustin, Tori, and Mr. Hanson listen carefully. "Hunter is not the father of my child! There! Happy?!" The model averts from their appearances, feeling hurt and humiliated at the same time. However, Tori couldn't believe what she just heard as the truth repeated in her head.

"What?"

Natalie rolls her eyes. "You heard me. Nathan isn't Hunter's daddy."

"Then who is?" Tori asks, very curious to know.

There was a moment of brief silence until the feet shuffling towards the living room interrupted them. Everyone turn their heads to see who it may be as Blake walks in with Nathan in his arms. "Hey guys." He greets them warmly.

Blake? Tori thought while turning around away from him. B-But how??? She shuts her eyes and thinks carefully.

The dirty blonde smiles back. "Well, you should see Nathan with Blake. He seems more comfortable with him than he is with me. Talk about bad parenting for my part."

Tori laughs. "You're being ridiculous. He's just what? Almost two months old? Give it some time."

He shrugs. "I guess."

The two watched on as Nathan continued crying relentlessly. "Well, I should hand him over to Blake before he drives us all crazy."

"I'll go with you. I have to see this." Tori smirks as she removed the covers off her and headed out to the living room.

"Hey, guys." She greets them all out of breath. "Have you seen Hunter?"

They stared at the model weirdly before nodding their heads in dismay. "No."

"Damn." Natalie mutters frantically as she resumed to keep her son calm. "Nathan has been crying and crying for hours. I think he wants his father."

Blake then steps forward with his arms out. "Well maybe I can help."

"NO!" Natalie pulls Nathan closer to her from out of his reach. "You're not the father of my baby, so stop acting like it."

"Oh my God." Tori shook her head and comes back to reality. With Blake and Nathan's undying chemistry, alongside Natalie's awkward behavior—everything suddenly made sense to her. She slowly stares back at them in mere shock before rolling her eyes back and fainting to the floor.
