(ok here is the next chappie, enjoy! thanks for all the reviews from earlier chapters, you guys all rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)


"Alright, I'm off to my room, goodnight folks," said Callie, going to give her mom and dad a hug. Her parents were sitting in the living room with Nathan and Haley. She gave her dad a hug, and her mom a kiss.

"G'night Cal," said her dad, smiling with his arm around his wife.

"And goodnight to various other technical family members," she said, nodding to Haley with a sleeping Kale leaning beside her, and getting a smile from Nathan.

"Doesn't your favourite uncle get a hug?" he joked, getting up.

"You know, you are technicly my only uncle..." she smiled, giving him a hug.

Callie walked upstairs to her room, still smiling. She swept past her brother's room, seeing him with Penny, Lucy and Blake, huddled over the XBOX. She laughed, and watched on from the door.

"Callie, you want to play?" asked Cameron, eyeing his sister.

"No, watching is fine," she came in and sat down on his bed, watching him win.

"It must be fun having a sister," Lucy said to Penny, "I'm stuck with Mr, Hotshot over here and Kale," She pointed to Blake and he shrugged.

"what can I say Luce, when you're that good, you've gotta show off,"

"Alright, I'm leaving guys, before I get blamed for this argument," said Penny, dropping her controller. Callie laughed at her sister.

"Let's go downstairs then" said Cameron, doing the same thing as his sister.

"You guys should stay up here," said Callie, wanting to let her parents alone to talk.

"Why?" aske Blake, giving her a look.

"Well personally, I think you guys should let our parents talk, just leave them be,"

"Kale's down there," said Lucy, wanting to go.

"But he's sleeping, just let them be, they're having adult talk" said Callie, making sure they didn't go downstairs.

"Ohhh, adult talk, we should go listen then," said Cameron.

"No, bad ideas guys, you are not listening in on them, got that?" she said in a loud/harsh type of tone, "How about I go make you some popcorn instead?"

"Yahh" they said, all of them returning to the game.

'Another crisis solved, thanks to the Big Sister,' thought Callie laughing. She quickly made her way down stairs, and made some microwave popcorn, and putting it into a small bowl, knowing that they didn't need a lot of popcorn at this time. She brought it upstairs to her cousins and siblings, and headed to her room. She went on a wild search for her shakespere book but she couldn't find it anywhere. Then she remembered reading to earlier in the living room so she headed over to the stairs and stopped hearing her parents talking.

Downstairs in the living room, Peyton had to bring up the topic that was on everyones mind, Callie.

"you know, we have to talk about this..." she said, mostly to Nathan.

"Why do we have to? Can't we just leave everything how it is, with everyone happy?" said Nathan, kind of in a worried way.

"Don't you think she'll figure it out eventually, she almost looks nothing like Lucas," said Peyton, giving her husband a look.

"It's true Nate, she'll figure it out, what if she has to see her real birth certificate some day? It has you down as the father," said Lucas, in a knowing way.

"Really? Ok, fine, but I'm definietly not the one who is going to tell her about it," said Nathan, looking kind of upset.

"No, you don't have too, me and Luke will," said Peyton, glancing over at him.

"Hon, what's wrong?" spoke up Haley, giving Nathan a look.

"I just don't want to okay? What if she wants to talk and she asks me why I didn't want her, what the hell am I supposed to say to that?" he snapped, almost at tears.

"Nathan, it'll be okay, we don't have to do it now anyway, we'll bring it up slowly, okay?" said Peyton, giving him a comforting look. He didn't say anything, he just put his head in his hands.

"I can't believe it, how did this happen?" he said, "I really have become my father, getting one person pregnant then leaving her, just like that, I am so sorry Peyton, I am"

"It's not your fault Nathan, we both weren't ready for this, she was unexpected, with us both in highschool, we really weren't ready at all..." she trailed off, giving him a hug, "It'll be okay, don't worry,"

"Wait, he can worry, I mean, we all should, like what's going to happen when she finds out everything about her life was a lie? Like the father daughter basketball games, and what about Penny and Cameron, knowing Callie wasn't their sister, only really her half sister..." said Lucas, in a worried way.

"We will all make it through this even Callie, I'm sure of it," said Peyton, in a reassuring way.

From the top of the stairs, Callie had heard the last thing her mother had said. 'Make it through what?' she thought, seeing her mother and uncle hug. Her dad looked really worried about something and her aunt Haley looked kinda of worried and unsure about something.

Ok, this is really creeping me out, what is with my parents? Ever since we moved here, (which is like only a day!) they have been emotional rollercoasters, pulling the family along for the ride. First my mom with her pictures, she was so happy seeing them, and now she was at the worst state I had ever seen her. Worry mixed in with some sadness. Then my dad had a worried unsure type of mask on all day, ever since we showed up in Tree Hill. I mean when he is around my uncle, things seem tense, same with my mom. And then tonight, they were going to get through what? And i was going to get through it too? Something weird is going on, and I have to figure out what it is!!!!
