"I'd like four yards of this material, Mr. Bray." Colleen said as she walked over with it. Loren nodded.

"That is a nice pattern Colleen." Andrew said from behind her.

"Thank you Andrew." Colleen paused. "Or thank you Doctor Cook."

"No, thank you Mrs. Cooper Cook." Andrew replied with a smile. Loren scowled.

"Stop that, not in public anyway." Loren said. Andrew looked at him.

"I'm sorry Loren. I won't do that anymore." Andrew said.

"Hello Mr. Bray, do you have any tobacco yet?" A voice called from behind Colleen and Andrew. Colleen turned around and saw Ethan Cooper standing there in the flesh. Colleen gasped and grabbed Andrew's arm.

"Yeah, let me go in the back." Loren walked out of sight looking for tobacco. Ethan crossed his arms waiting for Loren and turned and saw Colleen standing there.

"Hello Colleen. It's good to see you again." Ethan said. Colleen held tightly to Andrew and buried her face in his jacket. Andrew put his arm around her shoulders. "Who are you? Why do you have your filthy hands on my daughter?" Colleen turned around and faced Ethan. Her face was red and puffy from crying.

"You aren't my father!" Colleen exclaimed. She tried to walk away and Ethan grabbed her arm.

"I was there the day you were born, I'm your father and you can't change that." Ethan replied.

"You aren't my father. Sully is my father! He's been there for me ever since you left Ma with Matthew, Brian and me. He helped us through different times. The whole town did! While you ran off and didn't even say good bye! You've never said good bye when you leave, you just run off and leave us here." Colleen said sobbing. Andrew hugged her.

"I wrote you a letter didn't I? I told you why I could stay." Ethan said.

"Maybe you should leave Ethan." Michaela stated from behind him. She walked into the store holding Katie.

"Doctor Quinn, this is none of your business. This is a conversation between me and my daughter." Ethan responded looking at Colleen.

"Ethan, Colleen is my daughter. I have every right to be a part of her life; and you I'm afraid do not. You gave up your rights to Brian and Colleen three years ago." Michaela said. Ethan looked at Michaela and Katie.

"Look Doctor Quinn, I see that you've already had a child of your own. Why don't you stick to raising her instead of raising my children? I love my children and I want what's the best for them." Ethan stated.

"No you don't! You wanted what's best for you! You always have. You aren't my Pa and you never will be!" Colleen hollered and ran out of the store. She ran across the street to the café where Brian was eating lunch with Sully and Matthew.

"What's the matter?" Sully asked as flabbergasted and sobbing Colleen sat down.

"Is it Pa?" Brian asked putting a hand on Colleen's wrist. Colleen looked at him.

"He's not my Pa! Don't say that! Sully is my Pa now." Colleen exclaimed. Brian sat back stunned. "I'm sorry Brian. I didn't mean to upset you." Andrew and Michaela rushed over to the café.

"Oh Colleen, I'm so sorry that this had to happen." Andrew sat down and wrapped his arms around his wife.

"I can't wait until I am away from here and at that women's medical school." Colleen stated.

"Maybe we should just go ahead and leave Colleen." Andrew said rubbing her back. Colleen looked at him.

"You can't go just yet. School doesn't start for several months." Michaela replied.

"I can find a job up there. I'm going to medical school. Maybe they will let me work in the hospital. I've worked with you for the last seven years." Colleen responded.

"I don't think that's necessary." Michaela stated. Colleen looked up at her Ma.

"I'm sorry Ma, I have to leave. I just don't know how much longer I can take being in the same town with Ethan Cooper. He was my Pa for a long time. I'm sorry he was ever my Pa. The best thing he could have ever done for Ma and us children was to leave and never come back." Colleen stood up and walked away from the table.
