A/N: Long time no update! Sorry about that, but school is sooooooooo hectic. And these stupid hurricanes will not leave us alone! (Yah, that right, I am a Floridian. Tampa Bay in fact) so, you know, if I never update again, its because the hurricanes killed us. Lol. Ok, sorry, I shouldn't be joking like that but, well, it is my way of dealing with this chaos. So, review! I need some happiness with all these hurricanes.

Special Note: thank you sooooo much to all of those who review. I promise I will not let you down! So, keep those reviews rolling in.

Nick had walked out of the room as Sara finished they story. He really hadn't been able to handle it all. As his eyes adjusted to the dark, he made out the shape of Kay sitting on a curb, her head cradled in her arms. He wordlessly walked over and sat next to her. And that was how they sat for some time. Finally, Nick broke the silence.

"You know, your mother never told me about you." Kay looked up at the man that sat next to her and shrugged. She could tell he had had strong feelings for her mother, and from his reaction, he probably still did.

"Well, I have no idea why she did what she did, but I know one thing. I am pretty sure she is still in love with you." Nick started at the younger girl, who just shrugged. "We teenagers are a lot smarter then y'all think."

"Kay! Kay, Where are you?" Kay looked at her father and rolled her eyes before responding back. "Right here mom!" Sara approached the pair and smiled slightly at the sight of Father and daughter sitting side by side.

"Kay, we have to go." Kay reluctantly pulled herself up from the ground. Nick followed her action and turned to Sara.

"Sara, we have to talk."

"I know. I am meeting you all tomorrow at the diner. We can talk then."

"Good. But Sara, don't think for a second that you can just go back home and think that I am going to just forget about you. I am not losing you again." Sara flashed him a small grin.

"I know Nick. I would expect nothing less of you." She said softly as she turned to walk away.

"So, Mother, when were you planning on telling me about my Father?" Sara glanced over at her daughter, who sat scowling in the passenger's seat of the rental car.

"Kay, I really don't know. I didn't think you were going to go behind my back and try to play investigator."

"What do you think I was going to do? I am 15!" Kay struggled to keep her voice calm.

"Kay, you just do not understand what happened. You have no right to got try to be the good guy in all of this." Sara also struggled to keep her voice down.

"Don't understand? What do you mean? I have every right in the world to know who my Dad is!" Kay screamed, her self-control completely gone.

"Kay, what do you think was going to happen? Now that you know who your father is, what did you think would happen? Do you think that it will be a happy ending? That we will be one big happy family?" Kay was stunned at her mother's words. What did she think was going to happen? She was 15; she was way to old to believe in happy endings. But somehow, her mother's words still stung.

"Whatever mom. I had every right to do what I did." Shot back the teen. She then turned her back towards Sara and stared silently out the window, watching the blinking lights pass by.

They finally arrived at the hotel that they were staying at. Kay still hadn't spoken to her mother since the screaming match in the car. She stomped into the hotel room and flipped on the TV. Sara stayed outside tough; she just didn't think it was the best idea to be stuck in a single room with her pissed off daughter. So instead, she wondered into the hotel courtyard and sat down on a wooden bench. She buried her head into her hands and started to sob quietly.

The whole thing had blown up in her face. Her carefully laid out plan had shattered. It never crossed her mind that her daughter would sneak out behind her back and take matters into her own hands. But she had, and now Sara was going to have to face her fears.

Nick sunk into his couch as soon as he arrived home. He looked over and noticed he had some messages on his answering machine. One was from his mother.

"Great." He sighed. He knew he would have to call her back and tell her about Kay, his daughter.

His daughter.

He was a father. To a 15 year old girl nonetheless. He was still trying to register this fact. He didn't understand why Sara had kept this a secret. Didn't she know they he cared about her? That he would have done whatever it took to take care of her?

Didn't she know that he loved her?

The second message was from Catherine. Catherine was wondering how he was holding up.

"How am I holding up?" he said to himself angrily. Well, considering he had just been reunited with someone he hadn't seen in over fifteen years, the only woman he had ever truly loved, and found out about his long lost daughter, he was doing pretty damn good.

Nick leaned back and closed his eyes. He took a sip of his beer and turned on the T.V. he soon found himself falling asleep right there on the couch.

A/N: WOW! An update! Amazing. Lol. Well, a short one, but hey, at least I updated. Right? In the next chapter, a talk with the team, some Father Daughter bonding time, and maybe even a meeting with an um, "old friend". But don't be surprised if I don't have that. I suck at keeping promises. Lol. Well, review!
