New chapter. For some reason my story isn't showing up on the Life Unexpected database page. But it is still there. It is doing the same thing with my One Tree Hill story. Anyway hope you like it!

16 year old Nathaniel "Baze" Bazile was walking through the glass sliding doors of Portland's hospital.
He had received a call from the hospital that his daughter needed open heart surgery. He had known all along that Cate was pregnant, she must have left him as an emergency contact. Nate walked up to the front desk.

"Excuse me, I was called earlier about my infant daughter who's having heart surgery."

The nurse looked at him and then back down to the files. "Yes, Nathaniel Bazile?"

"Yes that's me. Is she going to be ok?"

"It depends on how the surgery goes."

"Ok, is her mother here?"

The woman sighed. "No, she gave her up for adoption at birth, but left your number and name here if we needed anything. Sorry she didn't tell you"

"OK, this is just great."

"We will call you back when the surgery is over with."

Nate nodded and went and sat down on the couch. Sitting there for hours he thought of things he could do. The doctor coming out brought him out of his trance. "Nathaniel Bazile."

Baze stood up and walked over to the doctor. "The surgery went great. Would you like to see her?"
He led him back to the room his daughter was in. He washed is hands and then sat down next to the crib she was lying in.

He grabbed for her tiny hand and rubbed his fingers over her hands . "You're so tiny and beautiful." He said to her.

"Her names Lux." One of the nurses that just walked in told him.

"Lux, I like that." Baze continued to watch the sleeping baby until a woman came in.

"Excuse me Mr. Bazile. I'm Fern Lux's social worker. I would like to talk to you for a moment."

Baze stood up and shook her hand. "Nice to meet you."

"You to. Ok so as you know Cate has given up her legal rights as Lux's mother. Currently we can not find anyone to place her with. Our only alternative is if you would like to take her. Now you still have your legal rights so you could take her when she is released from the hospital and all you have to do is sign her birth certificate."

Baze looked over at his daughter "Can I think about it?"

Fern nodded and left the room. Baze called his parenst and they met him at the hospital. His mother cried when she saw her granddaughter and his father was happy but scolded him for making such a careless mistake.

Even after hours of thinking it over Baze was still unsure if he could take care of this little girl or not.

16 years later

"Lux time to wake up. Your going to be late." Baze called from the hall.

"I don't want to." 15 almost 16 year old Lux yelled from under her covers.

Baze opened the door. "Lux."

"Do I have to. You could skip work and I could skip school and we could stay in our PJs all day and eat junk food and watch movies." Lux said popping her head out from under the covers and wiping her blonde locks away from her face.

"You know I would love that. But I have work and you have school. Just think only one more week of school until summer."

Lux sat up and smiled. "And only a week and a half until I turn 16."

"Don't remind me. Now get dressed and I'll meet you downstairs for breakfast."

Lux came skipping down the stairs in jeans, a Cure band t-shirt and black converse with her blonde locks hanging on her up with only a dad made her such a tomboy.

She sat down at the table infront of a plate of eggs and fake bacon. She always had hated the fact that people eat helpless animals.

"Dad can I ask you a question?"

Baze looked up from the newspaper. "Yea, shoot."

"What was my mom like?"

"Remember what I told you the last million times you asked this very same question."

"Yes and you said to wait until I'm older and than you'll tell me all about her. But dad I am older. I'm almost 16 I deserve to know."

Baze sighed and set the newspaper down looking his daughter in the eyes. "After school come straight home and when I get home from work I'll tell you all about her ok?"

Lux smiled and stood up from her seat and grabbed her bag. "OK." She said smiling.

"Alright lets go were going to be late." Baze said grabbing his jacket and rushing Lux out the door to his car.

"I'll see you after school. Have a good day." Baze said as he dropped his daughter off in front of Westmonte high school.

"Bye."

Baze drove off to work. He worked at business office with his dad.

"How's that granddaughter of mine?" His father asked when Baze walked into his office.

"Good. She asked me again today to tell her about Cate."

"And?"

"After I get home I'm going to tell her everything I know. She deserves to know."

"Do you think she'll want to meet her."

"I don't know. I don't know how it could affect Lux if she does."

Jack sat down at his desk. "I don't know son. All I do know is that you have been doing a wonderful job of raising that girl and you can't let anyone ruin that for you. Think about that."

Baze nodded and walked out of his dad's office to his own and got busy on the work he had for that day.

"So your dads finally going to tell you about your mom?" Lux's best friend Tasha asked.

"Yea, I think its awkward for him. But it's not like I want to meet her or anything. I think."

"You do want to meet her?"

"I don't know. Maybe. Just a little."

"Its ok if you do." Tasha said slinging an arm around Lux as the two walked to their first period class.

Lux and Tasha had been best friends ever since kindergarten. Every day and every weekend they were together. They were attached at the hip.

The bell rang as they took their seat in the back of the class. Lux stared at the clock, it was only 8:30 a.m. 3 o'clock could not come any slower.

Later in the day the final bell rang and Lux hurried out the school's front doors. She walked home in 5 minutes and the walk usually took her 10 minutes.

Lux was eager to learn more about her mother. If she was anything like her or if she looked like her. Lux opened the front door and made her way to the kitchen table to start on homework waiting anxiously for her dad to get home. She finished with the last of her homework when Baze walked through the door.

"How was work?" She asked putting her books in her bookbag.

"Good, and school?" Baze asked kissing Lux on the top of the head.

"Same old same old. Now can you tell me about mom."

Baze set his things down and sat across from Lux at the table.

"Yes, but first do you have your homework done."

Lux nodded, "Yes, now spill."

Baze sighed and looked into his daughter's blue eyes. "Ok, I didn't really know her that well, all I knew was that she was a geek."

Lux let out a small giggle. "I mean that's why I didn't really know her. I didn't hang out with her at all in high school."

"Because you were a jock and she was a nerd. How did you two, you know." Lux said blushing.

Baze grinned, "Winter formal my date got sick early on and her date ditched her so we some how ended up together. Then after that we didn't see each other or talk until she told me that she was pregnant with you."

"Ok, I got that part. Now what is she like?" Lux asked eagerly putting her chin in her hands.

"She has dark brown hair and eyes."

"But you do to and I'm blonde with blue eyes." Lux said confused.

"I know, it's weird how that all turned out. Anyway she was really smart and beautiful. I didn't even realize how beautiful she was until after the winter formal. I actually feel bad I was never there for her."

"You should. But she should feel even worse now that she has never met me because she just gave me away to nothing and that you actually stepped up to be a great father."

"Thanks kiddo."

"Do I look like her?"

"Yea a little. You have my eyes and nose. But I think you have her smile and her personality."Lux smiled and moved the hair out of her face. "How about we order a pizza." Baze said standing up and grabbing the phone.

"What? That's all you are going to tell me?" Lux asked getting up and walking over to her dad.

"Sorry kid that's all I really know about her. The best thing I know though is that she gave me a pretty awesome kid."

Lux smiled as Baze put his arm around her shoulder. "What's her name?"

"Lux." Baze said sighing.

"Come on dad. It's not like I want to track her down or anything. I just want to know." Lux said bashing her eyelashes and putting her lip out.

"Ok, her name is Cate Cassidy."

"See that wasn't that hard now was it." Lux said patting him on the shoulder and walking out of the room towards the stairs. Lux ran up the stairs and closed the door behind her when she reached her bedroom. Her room wasn't like any typical teenage girl room. She had band posters hanging up every where on her wall. With no girly pink or purple colors. She was definitely a tomboy. She sat down at her desk and flipped open her computer turning it into a search engine the name Cate Cassidy. She just wanted to know more. The first site that had popped up was a for the radio station K-100.

"She works at a radio station." Lux said quietly to herself. Lux clicked on the events tab and saw that there was an event coming up at Open Bar. That was Baze's friend Jamie's bar. Lux's Uncle Jamie as she called him since she was little. Somehow she was going to get her dad to take her there. But how she thought.

Hope you liked it. I will hopefully put another chapter up soon.
