AN / Here is the next update! Sorry that it took so long to get posted. Time got away from me. Thanks for all the continued reviews. Happy New Year!

As always suggestions are welcome

'There is another Scott?" Brooke asked, "Good lord, that man didn't believe in birth control"

"Where do they live?" Lucas asked

"I have only found the address for their mother, Georgia Scott. She lives in Charlotte" Peyton answered

"Scott? So she was married to Dan?" Nathan asked

"Yea, they divorced in 2007. Chris was born in 1994 after Dan signed over his parental rights"

"I don't get this guy," Haley said

"Nobody does. He ignored two children and then ran off to have one more. Ignores that one for a period of time, signs over his rights to all three of them and then has another child with the third one's mother and this time sticks around" Peyton said

"That just makes my head spin" Jake said

"Mine too" Lucas replied

"We need to talk to Mom, Luke. We need to know what she knows about all of this" Nathan said as he looked at his brother

"Guys, before you go talking to your mom or doing anything for that matter. I think you need to get some sleep. I think we all do. It is going to be a long day" Brooke interjected.

"Brooke is right guys. We all need some sleep," Peyton added

"Yea, I don't think I can even think straight right now," Lucas said as he picked himself up off of the floor.

"Where are we all going to sleep?" Haley asked

"There are two more guest rooms left down here. They both have double beds in them. You could pair up"

"I am going to crash. I don't care who ends up with me," Lucas said as he walked towards the foyer and turned left towards the guest rooms that Peyton had talked about.

"Well, I know where I am sleeping. You coming Peyt?" Jake asked as he got up off of the couch.

"In a minute. You go ahead" Jake nodded and started walking towards the stairway in the foyer and up to the room that him and Peyton shared.

"You two can go share the other bed. I will sleep on the couch," Nathan said as he got up from the floor.

"You won't get any sleep on the couch. Once everyone is up, it is going to get loud in here" Haley said

"I will go get in the bed with your brother and you two can share the other bed. It will be just like when we were in high school and we used to stay here" Brooke said as she turned to Nathan

"Okay" Haley said

:"Good. Well, I am going to bed. Night, morning whatever everybody" Brooke said as she got off the floor and walked towards the guest room where Lucas was.

"Alright, come on Hales before I pass out right here" Nathan said as he gave Haley a hand up off the floor.

"Good Night, Peyt" Haley said as the two walked past the couch and towards the guest room next to where Brooke and Lucas were at

"Good Night" Peyton said softly as she shut off her computer. She placed it on the coffee table and started towards the stairs almost bumping into her mom

"Peyton, what are you doing up so early?" Anna asked

"I haven't been to bed yet mom"

"Why not?"

"Doing some research. Lucas, Brooke, Nathan and Haley are in the guest rooms down the hall. We all are just now going to bed"

"Is everything alright?" Anna asked as Peyton moved past her to walk up the stairs

"I don't know mom. We will talk about it later. Good night" Peyton answered as she made her way up the stairs towards the room that she shared with Jake.

At 2pm, Lucas woke up and rolled on his back. He looked towards his right and found Brooke facing him sleeping like a baby. She was so pretty when she slept. Actually, she was pretty all the time. He found himself day dreaming about what could have been if they had stayed a couple. They would probably be married and maybe even have children. He pulled himself from the daydream shaking his head. It is not going to happen so why even think about it.

He sat up and put his legs over the side of the bed and slowly stood to his feet careful not to wake Brooke. She was a grouch when woken up, Lucas smiled at that, and he could remember the first time and last time he had woken her up. She had basically taken his head off, chewed it up repeatedly and then spit it back out. He never made that mistake again.

He walked towards the door and opened it slowly. He walked out and turned to close it looking at Brooke's still sleeping form. He walked towards the kitchen. He needed some coffee.

In the room next to Lucas and Brooke, Nathan awoke feeling the body of a young woman in his arms. Something he had not felt in years. He opened his eyes and found himself looking at the back of Haley's head. He was startled and quickly removed his left arm from around her waist. Haley was still fast asleep, but her head was lying on Nathan's other arm. He remembered that Haley had always been a heavy sleeper so he softly and quietly picked up Haley head and pulled his arm free before replacing Haley's head back on the pillow.

He sighed as he quickly stood to his feet and looked back at Haley, still sound asleep. He walked towards the door and opened it. He walked out and closed the door softly behind him. He headed towards the kitchen where he could hear his mom and Aunt Anna talking.

Nathan entered the kitchen to find his mom, Lydia and Anna talking by the stove. They were baking something and his brother nursing a cup of black coffee that was still steaming.

"Nathan" Karen said as she spotted her younger son and walked over to give him a hug.

"Hey mom" Nathan replied returning the hug.

"Coffee, Nate?" Anna asked

"Please. Black" Nathan replied as he sat down next to his brother at the bar.

"Here you go" Anna said as she placed the cup in front of him

"Thank you. Where is everybody?"

"Theresa, Mouth and Skills ran to the store for me. John and Larry are out in the garage doing who knows what and everyone else has not made an appearance yet" Anna answered

"Where's Meredith?" Lucas asked noticing that he had not seen his sister

"She went with Mouth and them. She has become quite attached to Theresa lately" Karen answered

"Mom, can we talk to you?" Nathan asked, as he looked at his brother and then at their mom

"Sure."

"Let's go into the living room," Lucas said

"This is about Samantha, isn't it?" Karen asked as the three of them sat on the couch in the living. Karen sitting in between her sons

"You knew about her?" Lucas asked

"Yea, I know about her and about Chris, your half brother. Dan called your dad about 6 months after Chris was born to tell him that he had just had another son and that he didn't need the other two. Your dad told him that he didn't have to worry because you two were no longer his and that was it" Karen answered honestly

"Why didn't you ever tell us?" Nathan asked

"Deb, Keith and I had talked about it when Larry and John returned from Charlotte and told us. We decided then that we would tell you when you were old enough to understand. Then, when Dan called and told Keith about Chris, we were going to tell you then and things happened"

"Mom got sick"

"Yea, Deb asked me to do two things for her when she knew that she was not going to be able to beat the cancer, take care of you and to make sure that Dan never hurt you. She knew that you were going to have a hard time when she passed and she didn't want finding out that you had other siblings by the man who had abandoned you to add to that time"

"Why didn't you tell us later though? When we were in high school or college?" Lucas asked

"Keith and I talked about it and were going to tell you two before you left for college, but time got away from us before we got the courage. I know I should have told you and I am sorry that I didn't, but I wasn't sure how you would react. Timing just never was right either"

"Mom, we understand that you were trying to protect us. We can't fault you for that. Now, we just to figure out what to do with this new information" Nathan said

"Do you two want to meet Samantha and Chris?" Karen asked as she looked back and forth at her two sons.

"You know where they are?" Lucas asked his mom

"I know where their mother is. I have met her and we exchange letters and phone calls every now and then. Dan and Georgia were married shortly after Chris was born. She didn't know at the time that Dan had two older sons. Dan slipped up one day during an argument and told Georgia about you two. She filed for divorce. Soon after their divorce was final, I got a letter in the mail from her. She wanted to meet with me and talked about all the children. I met her at a coffee shop in Charlotte when I was there for a business meeting. She told me that she didn't know whether or not she was going to tell her children about you two and asked if I was going to tell you two. I told her that I was unsure"

"Did she ever tell Samantha and Chris?" Nathan asked

"Not according to her last letter, but she did send pictures of Samantha's college graduation"

"Where are the pictures?" Lucas asked

"Upstairs in my overnight bag. I had a feeling that this was going to come out and you would want to see those pictures. I will go get them," Karen said as she stood and walked towards the steps

"I can't believe she knew" Lucas commented once Karen was upstairs

"You know she would have told us, but things just kept getting in the way."

"I know. So what do we do now?"

"I want to meet them. I want to know who my other sister and other brother are" Nathan replied

"I do too"

"Here they are." Karen said as she returned to the living room and handed the pictures to Nathan who moved on the couch to sit next to Lucas so that they could both look.

"They look alike" Nathan commented

"You all do" Karen replied

"Mom, we want to meet them." Lucas said as he looked up from the pictures towards their mother

"I thought you might. Georgia is expecting you"

"Today?" Nathan asked

"Today or tomorrow. I talked to her after you dad was killed and told her that I figured you two would find out this weekend"

Nathan and Lucas continued to look at the pictures of the young girl with long dark brown hair and big brown in a graduation gown and diploma in her hand. Standing beside her with his arm around her was a taller young man with short brown hair and brown eyes hidden behind glasses. Both of them smiling widely not knowing that their world was about to change.
