Scott couldn't sleep at all. He was tossing and turning all night. He couldn't get the argument him and Shelby had out of his head. Scott kept thinking to himself, I have a daughter. He couldn't get that simple fact out of his head. He kept repeating it to himself over and over again as if he still didn't believe it.

Scott finally decided to stop trying to sleep and he got out of his bed. he walked into the bathroom and took a quick shower. He was trying to wake himself up since he couldn't get any sleep yet was still tired.

Once Scott got dressed in a pair of jeans and a white, male style wife beater with a black, long sleeve, button up shirt over that he sighed and sat on the bed. Scott looked over to the time and saw that it was still 5:30 a.m.

Scott laid down on his back and looked up to the ceiling still thinking about Jena, his daughter.

"Jena is my daughter." Scott said to himself and even as he said it sounded strange to him.

Scott stood up and walked out of his cabin. He tried to clear his head by walking around the familiar place but couldn't get Jena and Shelby out of his head. Scott moved his hand through his hair and sighed with frustration.

When Scott walked passed Shelby's cabin he paused and looked through the window. He saw Shelby sleeping in her bed but he didn't see Jena anywhere. Scott watched Shelby as she slept and even though he was extremely angry with her right now he couldn't help but think of how beautiful she was.

Scott rubbed his eyes to stop himself from letting a tear fall as he thought, Why didn't you tell me? Scott looked away and continued to walk around the grounds.

Scott walked around the grounds still and went down by the docks. Scott sat down on one of the benches and took in a deep breath. He needed someone to talk to. He needed to just get all of this out. Scott started to think of who he could always talk to and two names came to his mind: Shelby and Peter. He chose Peter since Shelby was the reason he was like this.

Scott walked towards the main office where he hoped Peter would be despite how early it was. Scott walked into the office and was greeted by Sophie.

"Hey, Scott. You're up early." Sophie said with a smile.

Scott nodded.

"Yeah. Uh. Is Peter in?" Scott asked obviously distracted by his thoughts.

"Um no. He went for a run. He should be in soon though. Is there anything I can do for you?" Sophie responded.

Scott shook his head still distracted.

"No, thanks. I just need to talk to Peter. Can I wait in his office for him?" Scott said and Sophie nodded.

"You know where it is. Go ahead." Sophie said and motioned him to go to his office.

"Thanks" Scott said softly and walked into Peters office.

He closed the door behind him and sat down on the couch that was in there. He tried to think about what he was going to say to Peter but he had no idea where to start. he just knew that he had to get this shock off his chest or he would explode.

Scott tilted his head back and closed his eyes. He needed to relax if he was going to have any success in this. Scott took in deep breaths and let them out slowly but that hardly helped.

Peter walked into his office and noticed Scott. As soon as Scott heard the door open he opened his eyes and lifted his head up. He looked over to Peter and Peter noticed immediately that Scott was thinking about something important.

"Scott. Sophie said you had to talk to me." Peter said as he switched into counselor mode.

Scott nodded and sat up strait.

"Yeah. Um." Scott started, "Do you know who Jenas dad is?"

"Jena? Shelby's daughter?" Peter said confused as to why Scott would ask that.

"Yeah."

"No, I don't. Why?"

"Well...I..Uh.." Scott couldn't get the words out. He didn't know how to say it.

"Scott just relax." Peter said. He didn't want to rush the words out of Scott but he knew that Scott needed to talk.

Scott took in a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"Ya know how me and Shelby were dancing last night and then we left?" Scott asked trying for a different approach to the discussion.

Peter nodded.

"Well, when we left we went back to my cabin. And we, well, started to make out and stuff but then I stopped it." Scott said. He felt kind of weird talking to Peter about making out with Shelby but he knew Peter would understand.

"Ya know how I told you Shelby left with no warning after graduation?" Scott asked Peter and was starting to get confusing with the explanation.

"Yes, you told me that. You said you had no idea why she left." Peter said wondering what that had to do with what happened between them last night and with Jenas father.

"Well last night I thought I could get a reason for why she left so I asked her."

"Did you get a reason?"

"Yeah. And it's not exactly one I was expecting."

"What was the reason?" Peter asked.

"It was 'cause she was pregnant with Jena. She didn't know how I would react. And when she said that I thought that it was 'cause she cheated on me and was pregnant with another guys kid but, uh.." Scott stumbled his words but took another breath and continued, " Jena isn't someone else's kid."

Peters face relaxed as he realized was Scott meant: Jena was his daughter.

Scott let out a sharp breath and said, "I have a daughter."

"And you never knew that Jena was yours?" Peter asked.

Scott shook his head.

"I didn't even know Shelby was pregnant. Let alone that she pregnant with my child." Scott started as he ran his hands through his hair again, "She never told me she was pregnant. She never told me why she left. She just left. No warning; no note; no phone call or letter; nothing."

"Did she say why she left when she found out she was pregnant?" Peter asked trying to make sense of all of this.

"She said it was 'cause she was scared." Scott said and chuckled which seemed strange at the time but he just thought her excuse was so ridiculous. What did Shelby have to be scared of?

"Scared of you?"

Scott shrugged and said, "I don't know. She said she was scared of everything but I don't get that. Do you?"

Peter shook his head.

"No, I really don't."

Peter wanted to understand where Shelby was coming from but he just couldn't. She should have told him.

Scott stood up and started to pace around Peters office.

"So what am I suppose to do? I can't just abandon Jena now that I know she's my daughter. Even if Shelby doesn't want me to be a part of her life or anything I'm still gonna know that I have a daughter." Scott was starting get nervous. One could tell by his voice that he worried and truly didn't know what to do.

Peter walked over to Scott and grabbed his shoulders to stop his pacing. Scott could have continued if he really wanted to even with Peters arms on his shoulders, he could have just shoved them off but he didn't. The two men looked each other in the eyes and with a look from Peter, Scott instantly started to calm down.

Peter let go of Scott and they both sat down again.

"Did you talk to Shelby about this?" Peter asked.

"Oh you mean when I handled it oh so well last night?" Scott asked back with his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"OK so you flipped out last night. What did you do?"

"I told her to leave."

"Leave Horizon?"

"No. Just my cabin. I think she went back to hers but I'm not sure. I saw her in her cabin this morning asleep but I didn't see Jena in there."

"No. Jena stayed with Daisy and Jason last night." Peter said explaining that part to Scott.

"That explains why I didn't see Jena this morning." Scott said to himself more than to Peter.

"Wait. You looked in Shelby's cabin?"

Scott gave a guilty look and said, "When I walked past her cabin, I stopped and looked inside the window."

"Gotcha. You do have to talk to Shelby about this. You know that, right?" Peter asked.

"I know. I know. I just don't know what to say."

"Well do you want Jena to be a part of your life?"

"She's my daughter." Scott said.

"That's not an answer, Scott." Peter responded and crossed his arms over his chest. "Do you want Jena to be a part of your life?" Peter asked again.

Scott sighed and thought about that for a few moments before responding.

"Yes, I do. She's my daughter. I can't just forget about that." Scott said.

Peter nodded.

"Then talk to Shelby about getting joint custody. Or, at least, having visitation rights." Peter said.

"What if she doesn't want me to see Jena though?" Scott asked as he thought of the worst case scenairo possible.

"Talk to Shelby first. If she says 'no' then you can start worrying about that." Peter said.

"All right." Scott started and stood up, "Thanks for listening to me."

"Anytime, man." Peter looked at his watch. "It's almost breakfast time so why don't you go to the kitchen, I'll meet you there soon."

Scott nodded and headed for the door but paused when Peter called his name. Scott turned around and looked to Peter again as he gave him a stern look and said, "You have to talk to her."

Peter knew Scott didn't want to talk to Shelby but he also knew that he had to whether he wanted to or not.
