Chapter Six

1st October 2006

The first day of the trial had come. Nathan was decided to gain custody of his daughter. When he got to the courthouse, Peyton and Jake were already there. She looked at him coldly.

"It's going to be okay." Jake told his wife. "Don't worry, we'll get custody of Mary."

"All rise for the honourable Judge Edwards." A cop called from the side of the courthouse.

Everyone stood up and when the judge had taken his seat, they all sat down again.

"We are here today to decide the case of the custody of Mary Davis." he began. "The parties are on one hand Peyton Jagelski, the aunt of the child, and on the other Nathan Scott, whose relation to Mary Davis has not quite been determined."

Nathan's heart was hammering in his chest. Relation not quite determined. These words sent shivers down his spine.

Nathan's lawyer, Bill Handson stood up. "Your honour, my client is the biological father of the child."

"You have no proof of this" the lawyer representing Peyton replied, "Besides, Mr. Scott is not the father mentionned in the child's birth certificate."

"This is enough," the judge said," Mr. Handson, you may call your first witness."

"Thank you your honour" Bill Handson answered," I'd like to call Lucas Roe to the stand."

A man with blonde hair and blue eyes revealed himself. Lucas. He walked past Peyton and Nathan, looking straight ahead, avoiding their eyes.

Lucas took the stand and finally looked at them.

"Mr. Roe," Bill Handson started, "what was your relationship to Ms. Brooke Davis?"

"We've been together for a couple of months." Lucas simply said.

"So what you're saying is that you dated Ms. Davis." Lucas nodded. "You were lovers." Handson added.

"Yes."

"Have you ever met Mr. Scott or Mrs. Jagelski before?" the lawyer asked.

"I had never met Mr. Scott before, but I did meet Mrs. Jagelski once." Lucas answered.

"Did Ms. Davis ever told you anything about Mr. Scott?"

"Yes, she told me about him, twice. The first time was when we first started dating, she said he was the guy she was with before." he stopped.

"When was the second time, Mr. Roe?" Bill Handson questioned.

"The second time was a few days before she died. She called me to tell me that I wasn't Mary's father and that Nathan was."

"Thank you Mr. Roe. I don't have any questions left." said Nathan's lawyer, before sitting back on his chair.

Peyton's lawyer, Henry Douglas then stood up. "So Mr. Roe, what you're saying is that Ms. Davis told you that Mr. Scott was her daughter's father."

"Yes"

"You mean the same woman who once told you and everyone else that you were Mary's father?"

"Yes"

"Doesn't that bother you to know that the child you thought was yours is in fatc not your daughter?" Douglas asked.

"I guess I was a little shocked at first, but I hadn't ever really been in her life." Lucas replied.

"How could someone truly believe what this woman ever said, when she made everyone believe for four years that Mr. Roe was her daughter's father, only to tell them later that he isn't and that her child is Mr. Scott's daughter." Douglas said. "Are we supposed to take her words that Nathan Scott is Mary's father. I mean if she said that it was the truth then she did lie for four years. How do we know it's not a lie again?" the lawyer turned back to Lucas "Thank you Mr. Roe, I have no further question."

They were murmers in the room and the judge called for order. " This trial cannot continue as long as we don't have any proof that Mr. Scott is at least really the child's biological father. This is why, Mr. Scott, I will ask you to do a DNA test.
