Sanda here is a story you gave me the idea for, I thought I would start the story, hope you like it. I know on the show Reid parents were deceased, but in my Story, his Mother is still alive.
Chapter 1
John Dixon was sitting in the cafeteria of the hospital. He was tired, he has been on a 12 hour shift. He is getting to old for the long hours, but he loved being a Doctor more than anything else in his life. He was thinking about his past, and all his mistakes, he was alone, but he knew it was because of his own fault that he was. He smiled when Reid Oliver walked over , "Hey John are you ok"?
"Yeah care to join me Reid"?
"Sure". Reid sat down, and smiled, "My lunch coffee and carrot cake great choices eh Doc"
John smiled, "How do you get through the day eating that for a meal"?
"My nerves are shot right now, I couldn't eat much else. I need Sugar, you should talk just coffee John"?
"Yeah my shift is over in 1 hour, I will eat at home"
"You have a lady who cooks for you , I have Katie but she pretty much tells me to cook for myself"
"No I don't have anyone Reid, but I'm ok with that"
"Don't you get lonely"?
"Yeah but I'm getting old my time finding a nice lady to settle down with is pretty much over now"
"Oh come on your not that old"
"Yeah coming from you Reid how old are you"?
"Old enough".
"Reid you are very private do you have family"?
"Yeah a Mom, no siblings, that pretty much sucked growing up"
"Oh you only have a Mom, where is your Dad"?
"I don't know John he left while my Mom was pregnant. He was a real stand up guy, I'm glad I don't know him"
"I'm sorry Reid, I didn't mean to bring up bad memories from your past"
"I don't have memories of him, just my Mom she never remarried. She was pretty much alone for her whole life. She worked real hard to help me get into medical school. She is living alone in Dallas, I hated leaving her there. She has a few friends, I want to bring her to Oakdale, but she really isn't sure if she wants to"
"You should keep trying she needs you, and it looks like you miss her a lot"
"I do but it hurts seeing her so down on herself. Do you want to see a picture of her, she was younger in this photo"?
"Sure"
Reid opened up his wallet, and handed John the photo. Her name is Heather, pretty name she had red hair back than. I don't know if it still is red, she just doesn't care anymore, with keeping up with her appearance. I wish someone would come into her life, but like you she said that is over, there is no chance of that happening now".
John was staring at the photo, he couldn't believe his eyes. He knew Heather, and hearing how her life had turned out made him feel horrible.
"John are you ok"?
"Yes, she is beautiful, how old are you Reid".
"I was born June 19, 1972 , I will be 39".
John jumped up, "I have to get going, I will talk to you later". John walked out, he turned back looking at Reid, he walked out sitting on a bench. He couldn't catch his breath, he couldn't be his Son, he just couldn't be.

Chapter 2
John went to his office, he sat in his chair . He shut his eyes, he was remembering his time with Heather. Reid is going by her Maiden name, she never married. He was surprised he never thought anything when he met Reid Oliver. He remembered he was a jerk back then. Heather was so sweet, and innocent, and he took advantage of her. He didn't force her into anything, but she wanted to hear he loved her, and he said it just to get his way. He walked away from her, she never told him she was pregnant. He didn't blame her, he was working at the Dallas hospital for 5 months. She was a Nurse's assistant, she was shy, and he went after her. He knew he was only in Dallas for a few months, he just left not telling her. How cruel was that to do, but he didn't want a scene. He knew he was her first love she never been with a man like they were together. He banged his hands down on the table, how could he do that to her, he would never forgive himself. He grabbed the phone calling directory assistance. He asked for a number for a Heather Oliver, she use to live at Bond Avenue, so he gave that address. He was shocked when they said they would put him through. He was shocked when the phone was ringing. He was almost going to hang up when he heard her voice.
"Hello"
"Is this Heather"?
"Yes who is this"?
"John Dixon don't hang up please"
"John Dixon". He heard her start to cry.
"Heather I'm so sorry, I was a total fool walking away like that"
"Why are you calling me now"?
"I have to ask you something, please tell me the truth"
"What John"?
"You had a son Reid right"?
Heather didn't answer she was shocked that he knew about Reid.
"Heather please talk to me"
"Yes I have a son named Reid"
"Who is his Father"?
"He walked out of our lives years ago, it doesn't matter"
"Is he mine Heather please tell me"
"I have to go don't call me again". Heather hung up, John put the phone down. He whispered, "I know I am Heather. You won't talk on the phone, than I will come to you". He grabbed his coat , and went to see Bob Hughes. He said he needed a week off work due to some personal problems. Bob said ok, John finished up his paperwork. He left the hospital after calling the airport getting a flight out this evening. He went home to pack, he had to find out the truth, he knew Reid probably would never accept him. He had to know the truth either way, and he had to face Heather. She hates him rightfully so, but he had to face her face to face, and tell her he doesn't blame her, but the truth must come out for everyone's sake.

Chapter 3
John drove home, and packed a bag, and left right away for the airport. He parked he went inside to get his tickets. He booked himself in going through customs, and was waiting for the flight for Dallas. It was 1 hour later he was boarding. He was so nervous he knew Heather didn't want to see him. He had to hear it from her lips that Reid was his son. He didn't deserve a chance with him, but he wanted to know the truth. He got on the flight, and hoped she would speak to him when he got there.
4 hours later he got to Dallas, and grabbed his bags, and rented a car. He also had a map, he went straight to her place, and parked. He sat in his car, than he finally got the nerve to walk up to her door. He knocked he didn't even know if Heather was married or not. He thought she wasn't going to answer he knew someone was home there was a car in the driveway. He knocked again when the door finally opened. He stood staring at Heather she looked older but still extremely beautiful. He could see the sadness in her eyes.
"Heather I know you don't want to see me, but I need to talk to you"
"How dare you come here after what you did"?
"I was horrible back than but I regret it, I need to know about Reid"
"Really did you ever call all these years, I don't think you did"
"I said I was sorry please talk to me"
Heather was overwhelmed but she told him to come in. He walked in her place was lovely, she pointed to the living room. She told him to sit on the couch, as she sat on the chair.
"I would offer you something to drink, but I really don't want you to stay"
"That is fine I understand"
"How do you know about Reid"?
"He works at Oakdale Memorial , he is such a wonderful young man, I really like him"
"How is he I miss him"?
"He is doing great"
"Great you know he is Gay than"?
"Well he is with Luke Snyder a nice young man."
"What do you think about that"?
"That he is Gay, I'm ok with it , your not"?
"Yes I'm fine with it , I was surprised but I stood behind him when he came out"
"It must have been hard on you"?
"No it was hard seeing people who were cruel, I don't get it, he just wants to be happy why can't some people understand that?"
John smiled, "You raised a wonderful Son, are you married"?
"Divorced"
"Sorry"
"Really it happens , I'm happy the way I am"
"Heather I know you hate me, but I have a right to know"
"You have no rights you walked away without evening facing me. You were my first, I gave you my heart, and you smashed it without a care in the world"
"I didn't want a scene Heather"
"A scene I had a right for you to tell me to my face before walking away like I meant nothing to you"
"Were you pregnant when I left"?
Heather stared at him, "Yes I found out 1 month later. I was alone, do you have any idea how I felt, I hate you. You don't deserve to be part of his life".
John stood up, and walked over, "I'm so sorry". She pushed him, and ran out of the living room. He sat on the couch, he felt ill he had a son, but did he have a right to tell him he was his Dad?

Great update Jessie. I don't blame Reid's mother Heather for mad at John for walking out on her before he found she was pregnant with Reid. I wonder if John is going to tell Reid that he is father or not when he returns to Oakdale.

Chapter 4
John walked into the kitchen Heather was standing by the sink. He walked up behind her, "Heather I'm so sorry, but I need to ask you something, I know I have no right"
"Go John just leave me alone"
"I want you to come back to Oakdale with me"
"What"?
"I want you to come back with me, we can tell Reid together"
"How dare you tell me what I should do or not do"
"I know I hurt you but doesn't Reid deserve to know the truth"?
"What that his Father got me pregnant but ran away like a coward before he learned he was a Daddy"
"If I knew I would have helped you". Heather wanted to smack John but she sat at the kitchen table, and whispered, "I don't owe you anything, you don't deserve to have Reid in your life". John sat down, "I know I don't but I have changed it took me years to do it but I finally changed into a person I'm proud of"
"I'm glad for you John"
"Heather it wasn't you it was me, I was scared because I was falling for you. I didn't want to be serious, I thought I would end up hurting you in the long run , so I left before we got more serious"
"We were lovers, I thought I meant something to you"
"You did Heather but I was a foolish idiot, I hate myself for hurting you"
"Good because I hated you too"
John smiled, "I deserve that, but we have a son Heather"
"Yes we do he was so perfect John you lost out on so many precious years"
"I know but I would like to be part of his life now"
"I think it is a bit late now John "
"It is never to late but I need you to come with me, we will explain together."
"He thinks your dead"
"You told him I died"?
"Well in my heart you did so yes don't give me that look"
"No I'm surprised but I understand"
"How brave of you to understand you walked away not me"
"Heather will you come with me or not"?
"He will hate me for lying, I can't lose my son"
"He will blame me not you Heather"
"I will come with you, but I really don't think this is a great idea"
John went to touch Heather's hand but she pulled away. "Don't touch me, I will get my bag you make the plane arrangements". She walked out of the kitchen, and ran upstairs. John called his travel agent, she said she would make the arrangements, and call him back on the cell. He sat at the kitchen table, and was thinking about Reid. He wondered how he would take it. He hoped he could understand, but how could anyone understand when his Father just walked away leaving him, and his Mother behind. He remembered the day he left something was telling him he was making the worst mistake of his life, but he left anyway. His phone ran he answered his agent said the flight is in 2 hours. John thanked her, and sat looking at his phone. He was nervous about facing Reid, but he had to do it, he needed Reid to know the truth. He knew the chances are Reid will hate him, but he had to take that chance

Chapter 5
Heather and John got to the airport, and they booked in through customs, and were waiting to be called on the plane. Heather was staring at her hands, and John felt bad he could see she was nervous or scared, but he reached over touching her hand.
"Heather I will take the blame for everything"
"I'm his Mom, I lied to him, he use to ask about you all the time. I said you were dead because I thought you were dead in my eyes. You come into our lives now, and I'm going to lose him for being so stupid getting involved with you in the first place"
"If we didn't meet Reid wouldn't be here , and you would not be blessed with a wonderful son"
"Oh you should write for Hallmark cards John your so amazing with words"
"You know what I mean"
They hear the rows being called they got up, and boarded the plane. It wasn't a long flight but for the two of them it was. Heather didn't talk much she was so angry, and John respected her wished and stayed quiet. They got to Oakdale, they went through customs, and John took her to his car. They got in, and John asked her if she was ready to see Reid at the hospital.
"How do you know he is there"?
"I sent a text to Bob, and he is on duty, are you ready"?
"Yes lets get this over it probably is going to be the worst day of my life"
"Or best maybe he will take it OK"
"You know Reid at all John "?
"Yes he is a good guy, but yes he has his opinions"
"Oh yes, and I'm sure we both are going to hear them real soon"
John smiled, "He looks so much like you, he got your hair color"
"I can't say he has any of your Traits John, and that is a good thing"
"I understand your angry with me, and I don't blame you but please lets try to stay calm when we see Reid"
"I will don't worry". John started the car, and he drove to Oakdale Memorial. He got there 50 minutes later, and parked the car.
Heather whispered, "John I'm scared, I don't want my boy to hate me"
"He will never hate you Heather, I will be the one he hates if he hates anyone"
Heather smiled, "Lets go in".
They walked in, and they went to Reid's office.
John knocked on Reid's door, and Reid told him to come in.
John opened the door, and Reid smiled as he said.
'Hey John your back from your trip did you have a good time"?
Heather walked in, and Reid was confused but he got up, and walked over to her.
"Mom"
"Reid it is so good to see you, I have missed you like crazy"
"I have been busy but why are you here is everything OK"?
"John came to visit, and asked me to come here to see you Son"
"John brought you here why"?
John walked over to Reid, "Maybe you should sit down, we have something really important to talk to you about"
"What is this about"?
"Reid I'm so sorry your Father is not dead"
"You said he died"
"I was angry but he was alive, and well , and I find out he is living here in Oakdale"
"My Dad lives in Oakdale"? Reid said but he wasn't putting two, and two together. He was confused he walked over sitting down, but suddenly he looked up staring at John, and he finally spoke.
"You are my Father"?
John whispered, "Yes you are my son Reid"

Chapter 6
"Oh my God this can't be happening"
"Reid I'm so sorry, I never should have lied to you, but I was so angry, but that is no excuse"
"You said my Father was dead there is no excuse for that. You both play with fire, and get in trouble but who paid for your mistakes me, not you two"
"I have paid Reid, I'm alone, and I basically lost you years ago"
"Oh this is my fault Mom"
"This is my fault not yours, John walked out of my life, and I should have told him about you but I never wanted to see him again. He was dead to me, and I couldn't bring myself to tell you he walked away from me, I thought saying he was dead would be better than finding out your Mom was a loser who allowed a man to use her"
"I never used you, I cared, and if I knew about Reid I would have helped you both out. "
"Really you walked away you couldn't even tell me to my face it was over. You were a coward, and you used me, so admit that much"
"I was a player back than Heather I'm sorry"
Heather smacked John making Reid yell out.
"Both of you leave I can't deal with this right now. I want to forget this ever happened, I don't need either of you in my life"
"Reid no" Heather said she walked over to touch Reid but he pushed her away.
"You both come in here to tell me this but you both are dealing with your own issues what about me. I was lied to, I thought my Dad was dead, and I find out I was a mistake, I hate this please leave now"
"No Reid" Heather said but Reid yelled, "Leave both of you please"
John touched Heather's shoulder, and whispered.
"Let him have some time to think we can talk to him later"
Heather walked out of the room, John turned to Reid.
"I'm sorry I really am but don't blame your Mother it is all my fault"
"Really I think you both lied to me, she knew I missed having a father , and she lied saying you were dead"
"She didn't know what to do"
"The truth would be good"
"Reid promise me you will try to forgive us"
"Go John "
John walked out shutting the door Reid walked around sitting in his seat putting his hands over his face, and for the first time since he was a child he started to cry. He remembered all the times he cried because he didn't have a Father at Father , and son day. He cried when he was the only one who didn't have a Father to watch him play hockey. He loved his Mom but he wished his Dad was beside him. She lied saying he died, and all these years he thought his Dad was a good guy who died to young but he was someone that got his Mom pregnant, and walked away, he didn't know she was pregnant, but he probably would have walked away anyway. How could he forgive either of them, he really didn't know if he could.

Great update Jessie. I don't blame Reid for being angry at his parents John and Heather for lying to him all of these years. I hope that he will be able to forgive them soon for lying to them.
