Lucas held out his hand to Ryan,but got a hug from him instead.After the initial shock wore off Lucas returned the hug.When Ryan let go Lucas talked to him for a few minutes and was informed that Bella wouldn't come over on her own and he needed to go over there to talk to her.So he went and knelt in front of her and Brooke to talk to her but she wouldn't say anything back.

She looked down at Bella and tried to get her to talk, but she just kept shaking her head and clinging to Brooke more tightly. "She'll come around. She's just nervous and really tired." She got up and put Bella back to bed then went back into the living room and told Ryan he had to go back to bed too.

"I didn't know how to tell you. We wanted really different things and I didn't want to keep you from living your dream. I tried so hard to get you to want to settle down in one place and not play basketball, but you didn't want that. If I told you I was pregnant then you and everyone else would have thought that I screwed with my birth control or something just to get pregnant and tie you down."

"She's not terrified of you, she's just shy around people she doesn't know. Do you want a drink? I think this is going to be a long night."

She got up and took two scrapbooks from the bookcase then handed them to him. "That's everything. I started a book for each of them right after I left Tree Hill."
