Rachel was already waiting in front of her house at 8:45 am, with everything she and Travis would need for their road trip. Travis pulled up a few minutes after 9 and smiled when he saw her. She was always overly prepared for everything and anything just like he was.

"You ready to get this show on the road Berry?" He shouted, amused, as he got out of the car and walked around to open the passenger's side door for her. Travis took her big bag and put it in the back seat. When they were finally settled in, Rachel reached around in the back seat and pulled out a CD. She popped it into the CD player and Travis smiled as Pearl Jam began coming through the car speakers. With a quick thumbs up and last check Travis started up the car and they were off.

...

The trip was going to take roughly seven hours all together but factoring in how long it would take them to find out what Travis wanted to know, he figured they'd be back in Lima around 8:30 or 9 at night, depending on traffic. Taking a glance at the GPS Travis couldn't believe that they were less than 45 minutes away from Harrisburg. He gulped, the nervousness growing even thicker. He tried to shake it off and instead listened to Rachel talk. She was mainly talking about her boyfriend Finn but he didn't mind.

"You're really in love with him, huh?"

"I am." Rachel blushed. "I mean there's so much more to him than his jock appearance. He's a really sweet, talented, and incredible guy and I can't believe he feels the same way about me."

"He would be crazy not to, Rachel. You're one of a kind." Travis flashed her a toothy grin.

"What about you?" Rachel asked.

"What about me?"

"Have you ever been in love?"

Travis didn't answer for a minute or two. "I am in love with somebody but I know she doesn't feel the same way."

"Than she must be crazy." Rachel said.

"No, I think she's just realistic, unfortunately."

"What do you mean by that?"

"The last high school I went to, in Michigan, there was this girl. Her name was Annie. She was... amazing. We fell for each other hard and fast and of course being kind of a hopeless dreamer I thought it was going to last forever but two months before school was over my stepdad Alan got transfered to Lima. I tried to work it out with her, you know make it so we could have a long distance relationship but she said that it would never work out. We kept in touch for a little while after I moved but eventually she stopped taking my calls and wouldn't answer any of my emails. It was like she completely forgot about me and it still hurts."

Rachel rubbed his shoulder. "Well, than it's her loss because you are an amazing guy."

Travis smiled at her. "Thanks Rachel."

"No need to thank. I'm just simply stating the truth." Rachel reached over and turned up the volume of the radio.

...

They had been parked out in front of the clinic for more than an hour, neither one of them saying anything. Travis took a deep breath and nodded his head before finally getting out of the car. Rachel stayed in her seat not knowing if he wanted her to go with him or not. She looked at him happily when he opened up her door and took her hand and gave it a light squeeze.

...

The nurse in the reception office was more than a little rude and angry at what seemed like everything but at least she was helpful. They had the file of the sperm donor that was Travis's dad and whoever the man was, had chosen to fill out a complete and long biography. Maybe he knew one day the child he helped bring into the world would want to find him.

Rachel sat in the reception area with Travis, his hand still holding tightly onto hers. He read for a long time and Rachel was just glad to be there to give him support. As he reached the last page a photograph fell out of the file onto the floor. Travis bent down and picked it up. A young man with wavy black hair and cobalt blue eyes stared back at him. Rachel glanced over at the photo and did a double take. She snatched the photo from Travis and jumped up out of her seat.

"Dad?" She shouted in disbelief.

Travis stood up as well. "What?"

"This is a picture of my dad from when he was in his mid 20's!" Rachel said in complete shock. She grabbed the file from Travis and looked at the donor's name, 'Mitchell Wieser.' "Holy shit!" Travis couldn't believe rachel had just sworn.

"Mitchell Wieser! This is my dad this is my father this means..." She and Travis looked at each other, their eyes huge. Suddenly little characteristics that they both shared seemed to come into view and it was all making sense in the most confusing way possible.

Travis moved his mouth a few times before he could get any words out. "I know how completely 80's sitcom and cliched it is to say this right now but I'm sorry it calls for it. Awwwwwwkwaaaaaard."

A/N: Ah! So this was the twist I hope none of you had guessed it but if you did then well done and you all rock but this story isn't over yet.

TBC...
