Seventeen years ago, Dan Scott had gotten Karen Roe pregnant with twins just after they left high school but chose basketball and his college scholarship over his pregnant girlfriend and future babies, three months later he got another woman pregna...
It was early the next day when Alex woke with her thoughts on her mother and how much she missed her especially considering the recent discovery of Jake raising his daughter alone mischief like Karen had as a teenager with Lucas and Alex. She decided to do something get her thoughts off her mother by getting dressed and heading to the café since Alex usually made most of the cakes and pastries for the cafe now that her mom was in Italy, she liked doing the pastry for the cafe since it was usually enough to serve as a distraction for her especially with basketball being out on hold for a while. Focusing on her mom's recipes helped keep her mind of everything toes going on in her life like the fact that she knew that Nathan was being forced to go to family therapy today or of Lucas's relationship with Brooke, while she was working her phone went off signalling a text from AJ asking her to come over if she was free as she quickly cleaned her hands before texting him back as she leaned against the counter. Alex was soon snapped out of the daze she was in while texting AJ back when Nathan came into the cafe slamming the door, clearly frustrated by something

" hello to you too" Alex said rolling her eyes as she gestured to the door as she put her phone down to focus on her half brother as she grabbed the bowl she had been mixing before she texted AJ
" sorry but you have no idea what kind of morning I've had today" Nathan said as he thought about how his parents had completely missed the point at today's sessions and made it all about them
" so clearly family group therapy went well. What happened?" Alex said knowing that the idea of dan and therapy sounded like a bad idea so she couldn't even imagine the reality of him in therapy
" well my mom got mad at my dad over pressuring me, the therapist asked me about whether I'd actually like playing basketball and then my dad got mad at me for my answer" Nathan said thinking about it
" sounds like Dan to completely miss the point.... so what was your answer?" Alex said knowing that he was currently a crossroads with basketball as a result of taking the drugs and practice being cancelled
" I said that I didn't know because I don't, I mean no one has ever actually asked me that before. It was also sort of assumed I would play whether I wanted to or not... hey!" Nathan said trying to steal a cookie before Alex slapped his hand
" hey nothing, those are for the customers" Alex said gesturing to the cookies and other baked goods that she had already baked as she knew that there had to be plenty to last throughout the day
" come on, for not even your half brother that's had a sucky day already and has to the live the man you hate most" Nathan said pouting slightly and trying to make Alex take pity on him as he took a cookie
" go ahead, I mean I'd let you have the whole bunch for the fact that you have to live with Dan alone" Alex said giving him the cookie and brownie as she wondered how anyone could survive living with Dan
