Chapter Two: History

Brooke stared at Julian in shock. As far as secrets go that was a pretty big one.

"You have a daughter?"

Julian nods his head.

"Yeah, she's fifteen."

After a few minutes of silence Brooke speaks.

"Where is she?"

Julian smiles, glad that Brooke was interested in hearing about his daughter.

"She's in LA with her mom, but she is coming in a few days to spend the summer with me."

Brooke nods her head.

"Can you tell me about your past and what lead you to here?"

Julian smiles and nods his head.

"I was fourteen when I met Sara, we were both Mathletes. She was my first girlfriend and I loved her. We had dated for about a year and decided to take the next step. We were young and we thought we were careful. We had protection, both of us did, but it didn't matter because a few months later Sara told me she was pregnant."

Julian collects himself and continues with his story.

"We were scared, but Sara was more scared. She has older sister who was 7 months pregnant at the time. Her sister was junior in college and she was married. Her parents um are kind of Christian like as in their beliefs ya know? Like no pre-marital sex and stuff. We broke the rules, but Sara had to tell her parents. I had to tell mine. The hardest thing that I ever had to do was to sit in front of her parents and tell them that I had gotten their daughter pregnant. I was so close to losing my daughter."

Julian wipes the tears away from his eyes and Brooke tries hard not to let hers fall. She had never seen Julian so emotional before.

"Her parents said abortion and Sara was so scared that she just sat frozen in her spot. They told me to get out, so I did. I went home and my mom was sitting on the couch. I had tears in my eyes and she asked me what was wrong. My dad wasn't there. It was just me and my mom and I tell her that I'm going to be a father and she pulled me down to sit next to her and she just held me while I cried. I knew she cried too even though she tried to hide it from me."

"Julian, wow."

Julian smiles through his tears. "I'm not finished yet."

Brooke nods her head and Julian continues.

"My mom asked me what was going to happen and I uttered the word abortion and she got angry. To make a very long situation short, my mom went to Sara's house told her to pack some of her things and she moved in with my mom and me. When Sara came into my room I told her that no matter what I was going to be there for her and since then that's what I've done."

"How long did you and Sara last?"

"Until our high school graduation, we are friends and everything, but I guess we just fell out of love. When we separated we decided to get joint custody of Sam and she was three at the time. We stayed in LA and we went to the same college. We didn't want to leave Sam. During high school my mom stayed with Sam. My dad didn't really do anything when he found out. He just told me I was stupid and I made a mistake," Julian shrugs his shoulders. "Anyway, Sam stays with Sara during the school year because I'm a producer and a movie doesn't last 9 months so Sam lives with Sara most of the time and Sam spends her summers with me. Sometimes holidays, but it's mostly summers."

"Thank-you for telling me Julian, but why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I was afraid. I just I thought you might not like kids or you just didn't want to deal with that. I guess past relationships kind of proved me right."

"Peyton knows Sam?"

Julian nods his head.

"Yeah, she does, but the girl I was dating before Peyton didn't like Sam at all. She was kind of a bitch."

Brooke chuckles and walks over to her fridge to pick up a picture. She walks back to Julian and hands the picture to Julian.

"Her name was Angie and she stayed with me so that she could have surgery on her heart. Before her I was looking into adoption because at the time I wanted kids and I still do. I just had no other way. When Angie was fixed she went back home and I was sad for a long time, but then I met you and you made me feel better. I just hope that you'll let me meet your daughter."

Julian smiles and nods her head.

"I will it's just that Sam can have a hard time with new people. She was that way with Melanie and she was that way with Peyton. I have a feeling she will be that way with you. In truth the only woman she will listen to fully is her mom which is the way it should be."

Brooke nods her head in agreement.

"It should be that way. So, when is she coming?"

Julian smiles, "She's coming tomorrow."

"I can't wait to meet her."

"I can't wait for you to meet her."

Sara walks into her daughter's room to see her packing her clothes. Over the years, Sam's room has changed every year. This year it was a light blue with Sam's writing written on the walls. There were very little posters except for the movie posters that her dad produced.

"Are you going to stare at my bedroom walls all night or are you going to help me pack?"

Sara looks away from the wall and pushes her daughter onto her bed.

"Why do you have such an attitude all the time?"

Sam shrugs her shoulders as she places a shirt in her suitcase.

"I don't want to be a wimp."

"Honey, you are anything but a wimp."

Sam smiles slightly and pushes her suitcase to the side. Sara knowing Sam wants to talk takes a seat on the bed next to her daughter.

"What's going through your mind sweetheart?"

"What are you going to do while I am gone?"

"I'll do what I do every summer. I'll keep busy. You have to spend time with your father there is nothing I can do about it."

Sam turns to her mom with a sigh.

"Dad's seeing someone again."

"So, what's the matter with that? Your dad deserves someone."

Sam looks at her mom sternly.

"You do too."

Sara smiles and leans down to kiss her daughter's forehead.

"Honey, I love that you're looking out for me, but I never saw myself as the dating type."

"Because of me," Sam concludes.

Sara shakes her head.

"No, I just chose not to."

Sam turns to her mother with a serious look.

"You don't have to sit out your life because of me, mom, I don't want that."

Sara wraps an arm around her daughter's shoulder.

"I know honey and I'm not. I have the occasional dates they just haven't gone into more."

Sam shrugs her shoulders.

"It's your life mom; you should have some fun once in awhile."

Sara smiles.

"Thanks kid, but we need to get you finished packing."

"Are you really coming with me this time?"

Sara smirks and nods her head.

"You bet your ass kid. Your father and I need to talk and we need to do it face to face."

"My life can't get any worse."

Sara stood up and laughed.

"Your life doesn't suck Samantha," Sara gives her daughter a pointed look. "In fact your life is pretty good compared to most people. And by the way, you have to hurry up with the packing or wait until later. We are having dinner at my sisters."

Sam smiles and nods her head.

Ever since they were little, Sara and Kadyn Bryce were always close-well as close as any sisters can be being six years apart. Sara always went to Kadyn with her problems and Kadyn did everything she could to help. Kadyn was in her freshman year of college when she fell in love. His name was Jeffry Breeze. Their relationship grew fast and by sophomore year they were married, by junior year they were expecting their only child, a little girl.

Kadyn was seven months pregnant when Sara revealed to her that she was pregnant at three months. Kadyn didn't really know what to do. Her sister's problems were never that bad, but unlike their parents, Kadyn stayed by Sara's side. She helped Sara as much as she could for as long as she could. Kadyn even helped after she gave birth to her baby, Katherine Breeze.

15 years later and Kadyn and Sara are still close.

Sara and Sam make their way through the Breeze household. They stop when they hear words of an argument floating through the house.

"I don't get it Katherine. Explain to me why you thought it was necessary to get into a fight at school."

"It's not like I planned on it, but when someone is dissing our family, I'm going to do what is right."

Sara and Sam step into the living room where Katherine looked bored and Kadyn was pacing. Hearing her daughter's words, Kadyn stopped in front of her daughter.

"Did you just movie quote me?"

"One of my dad's actually," Sam says while making her presence known.

Kadyn turns around planning on yelling at her niece until she saw Sam's face.

"Oh, baby," Kadyn says as she hugs her niece tightly.

Sara walks over to Katherine and sits down next to her.

"I think she likes your daughter more than me," Katherine pouts.

"Stop that Katie," Kadyn says when she pulls away from Sam. "I rather not dwell on what happened today so let us just move on."

"I agree," Sam states as she plops down in a nearby chair.

Kadyn takes a seat next to her daughter.

"Sam, where will you be spending your summer this year?"

"Tree Hill, North Carolina," Sam responds with a smile.

"Isn't that Peyton's hometown?" Sam's aunt asks with interest. She always liked Peyton.

Sam nods her head.

"Yeah, and from some of the few e-mails I read I'll be attending a wedding this summer."

"It's not to Uncle Julian is it?" Katie asks.

For as long as anyone could remember, Julian was always Uncle Julian to Katie.

"No, Peyton is engaged to an old ex boyfriend, Lucas Scott."

"Nice."

"How has your dad been?"

"Busy with the movie and I think he's dating."

"Good for him," Kadyn comments. "Do you know who the mystery woman is?"

Sam shakes her head with a sigh. "No, but I'm sure I'll find out."

-WLOM-

A few hours later Sam and Sara made their way home. Their flight was in the morning and they hadn't finished packing yet.

"Our flight is at seven so be ready to go by six."

Sam stopped half-way up the stairs and turned around.

"Are you seriously going with me?"

Sara smiles and nods her head.

"Just for a few days, it won't be so bad Samantha. I have to talk to your father and it has to be face to face."

Sam sighs and nods her head.

"Alright, but I have to finish packing."

"You do that."

Sara smiles as she watches her daughter run up the stairs.
