(ok here is the next chapter, oh and i am not sure if callie is gonna find out much about nathan being her dad in this chap but i dunno...so...R&R! lol and any ideas? ill take em!)
"Hey mom, this is one of your boxes, they put it in my room," said Callie entering her mom's room, causing her mom to look up from the pictures she was going through.
"Oh okay, can you put it down over there?" Peyton said, pointing across the room. Callie put the box down and sat beside her mother on the unmade bed. She looked down at the pictures her mom was going through, stopping at one picture, a group photo.
"Who are those other people?" Callie asked her mom. Peyton smiled then sighed.
"well, that's me, your dad, his very best friend for a long time Haley, his half brother Nathan, and that's Brooke, my best friend," she said, smiling.
"And what about that guy trying to get in the picture?" Callie said, pointing to the left part of the photo.
Peyton laughed, "That's Tim, one of Nathan's old friends,"
"Wait, you said Nathan is dad's halfbrother? So we do have a real uncle,"
"yah, I guess you do, I never thought about it that way, and you know, he only lives a couple streets over, married to Haley,"
"So is that where dad is right now, leaving us home to unpack?"
"Yah, and I think he might be inviting them over actually, so you wanna help me unpack all the stuff in the living room?"
"Sure," she said, as they both headed downstairs to the living room. It was going to be hard, moving from a big town split level house to a small town bungalow. It was a nice two story house, with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. All of the bedrooms were upstairs, and downstairs there was the kitchen, laundry room, living room, and dining room. And luckily, Lucas had sprung for all new appliances in the kitchen, thanks to his raise on the team.
"Ok, dvds go where?" asked Callie, opening a new box.
"Um..last shelf oh the bookshelf over there, I guess," Peyton said, putting up pictures over the mantle.
"Alright, all boxes are now done, what now?"
"Dishes in the kitchen," Peyton smiled.
"Can't Cam and Penny help too?"
"Yah, go get them, I think they are in Cam's room playing XBOX, go check?"
"Sure,"

Lucas drove over to Mr and Mrs. Nathan Scott's house, trying hard to remember his way around the city. He had gotten the address from his mom, and he finally found the house and he realized where it was. Nathan had moved his family back into the house he had grown up in. Well, it was bigger than the regular house but not the size of a mansion. He parked his car on the road, and headed up the steps, wondering how Haley was doing. He sighed and rang the doorbell, waiting for an answer.
A young girl with straigt auburn hair opened the door, she looked about 10, "Hello, can I help you?"
"Um hi, I'm looking for Haley Scott.." he trailed off, watching the little girl disappear into the house for a minute, then he heard a yell of 'MOM!' Lucas glanced at the house, remembering the times in senior year and the parties he had missed at this house, when he stayed at home with Peyton.
"Hello?" said Haley from the door, a dish towel in her hand. Lucas looked over at her, his eyes meeting with hers.
"Hey Hales..."
"ohmigod, LUKE!" she screamed, hugging him. She pulled him into the house, not letting go of his hug.
"What are you doing here, in Tree Hill that is?" she asked, after letting him go.
"We're moving here actually, well moved here," he said with a smile. A few seconds laters, Nathan ran into the room, from a different room in the house.
"Haley! Whats wrong? You screamed- Lucas?" he said with widened eyes.
"Hey little brother," Lucas said, getting a hug from him too.
"You visiting or something?" he asked, all of them sitting down in their living room.
"Um no, we moved here actually..." he said, thinking of his family at home.
"We as in you, Peyton and?" asked Haley, wondering about her best friend's kids.
"Callie, whos 14, Cameron whos 11 and Penny whos 10," he said, smiling, "And you guys...?"
"Um, the one who answered the door is Lucy whos 10 and has a twin brother Nathan Blake and then there is Kale whos 7," said Haley, with an identical smile.
"But let me guess, little Nathan goes by Blake right? Because Cameron goes by his middle name too," said Lucas.
"Yes, we had to carry on the Nathan name of course," Haley joked, getting a proud smile from Nathan.
"Well, I've got to get home, you guys wanna come over tonight?" said Lucas getting up, recieving a very excited look from Haley.
"That means yes," said Nathan, with Lucas telling them their address.

"Callie, could you come help me set the table?" asked her dad from the kitchen. She sighed and got up, getting a smile from her mom. Tonight, they were eating in the kitchen, since their dining room table was still on it's way from their old house. Her dad and uncle were sitting in the kitchen, talking about who knows what from high school. She opened up the cupboards, trying to remember where her mom had put away the plates.
"Ok, if I was coming to help you set the table daddy dearest, where are the plates?" she asked, after searching a few cupboards.
"Um I saw those..last cupboard, in the back," Lucas said, pointing.
"Alright," she said, finding the plates, and grabbing ten, which was different from the usual five they used. She set the table quickly, having no help at all from her dad, but she wasn't too upset. She walked over to the probably empty fridge and found only bottles of water, Red Bull and another beer type drink for her parents and a lot of pepsi. She grabbed a can and took a seat at the table.
"I thought you told mom you were making supper..." she said, giving her dad and his brother a look.
"Actually, we ordered out from some restaurant that delivers," said Lucas with a smile, getting a nod from Nathan. She shook her head and sipped her pop.
"So Callie, do you have the Scott gene and play baskball?" asked Nathan, still remembering that she was actually his, but he shook away the thought, he was lucky Peyton and Lucas still talked to him, after what he did.
"Ya I do, but from what I've heard Tree Hill High doesn't have a girls team, so I can't play much anymore," she said, trying hard to make her father feel guilty.
"Nice try Cal, should I tell her or you?" said Lucas to his brother.
"Tree Hill High actually has a girls team, as of this year," said Nathan with a smile, "And news for both of you, Jake is coach,"
"Jake?" said Lucas, wondering about one of his old friends, "Jake Jagelski?"
"Yah, since Jenny's going to be 14 this year too, shes going into highschool, and Jake got a job as a Physical Education teacher, so he asked about starting a girls team," spoke Nathan, seeing Callie smile.
"That is awsome!" said Callie, smiling in a very excited way.
"When did Jake get back to town?" asked Lucas, laughing at his daughter.
"A couple years ago, when Jenny was about 11, I think,"
"That is so cool, I haven't seen Jake in such a long time," said Lucas, getting up to go tell his wife. That left Callie in the kitchen with her real father, but still, to her it was her uncle.
"So how good are you at basketball?" Nathan said, striking up conversation.
"Good I guess, let's just say on my good days, I can at least tie my dad in a game," she smiled, and he smiled back at her, and it felt and looked so right.
Lucas then submerged from the the living room, with a big package of food, "Food's here!"

Let's just call this a update on the mystery man from the picture. That was my uncle Nathan in the picture with my mom. She told me she had gone out with him before she got pregnant with me and they were still close friends through the rest of highschool. I noticed something though, whenever he and my mom talked, they looked really uncomfortable. It was weird. And i realized that I have the exact same hair colour as him, the exact same! It is so weird...I guess my dad's dad and my uncles dad had brown hair, where else would I have got it? right? I am looking forward to meeting Jenny though, we may get along if our parents were friends, and she seems pretty cool i guess, and obviously shes into basketball too, so this move may be okay. And Cam and Pen are okay with our cousins, now Penny has someone her age to hang around with, and its not a guy this time! yaay for Penny, and Kale is cute too, that little guy is really smart, anyway, the move from LA to Tree Hill wasn't a disaster, and I guess ill survive...at least for the time being...[the above was an excert from Callie's journal]
(ok thats all for now, r&r please, oh and if you have any ideas, let me know, i always give them a chance! yAaY!)
