Colton walked into his house and threw his stuff down before chucking his basketball at the wall. Brooke heard the commotion and popped out the kitchen to catch Colton walking down the hall.

Once he got to his room, Colton flung himself down onto his bed and sighed as he looked up at his ceiling. He heard a light knocking and looked up to see his mother.

"I don't want to talk." He huffed

"Well I'm your mother so when I say talk, you talk." She said stepping into the room and sitting down.

"Was Lucas always an asshole?" He asked sitting up suddenly. Brooke was taken back by the question. She looked at him and cleared her throat.

"No not always."

"So Lucas really wasn't the dick he is today?"

"No Colton, he really wasn't."

"Then how was he?"

Brooke sighed and closed her eyes. She knew this conversation was coming but never wanted to have it.

"He was great Colt. He had this huge heart and he always wanted the best for everyone."

"Then why did I find out today he wanted me to be abort?"

"Colton he did ask for me to abort you but I never considered it and how do you even know that?"

Colton fell silent as he messed with his hands before sighing, "Jake asked me to join the basketball team. I was down at the River Court thinking about it and Lucas showed up and told me I was a mistake and I shouldn't have been born and basically to stay the hell away from his team. If he was so great, how did he become that?"

Brooke wiped a few tears away from her eyes and she moved over to Colton's bed. She wrapped her arms around him in a hug.

"He wasn't always that way. He came to me a few days after he asked me to abort you. He said he was sorry and just panicked and that he didn't want to get rid of you. For the first three months of my pregnancy, Lucas did everything. Then, Peyton told him she was pregnant too. He said he loved me and loved you but he had to leave. He had to take care of Peyton. I was heartbroken but a week later, Nathan showed up at my door and told me he ran into Lucas and found out what happened. He gave up what Luke wouldn't."

Colton sat in silence as he took it all in. No way did Lucas Scott actually want him at one point. Brooke ran her hand up and down her son's back.

"When he moved back with home with Peyton and Spencer, he saw how you and Nathan were and something in him just snapped. Maybe it was because he was you and you were growing up like he did or maybe it was because you were closer with Nathan than you would ever be with him."

"Did he ever say anything to you when he moved back?" Colton said fighting back his tears. Brooke smiled sadly and nodded her head, "What?"

"He came into the Café one day and told me that it was sad. It was sad how if I wasn't going to at least raise you right I could have done you a favor and just got rid of you. He said that it just sucked to grow up in the same town with a father who didn't want you so I could just leave then."

"Then why didn't you?" Colton asked standing up, "Why didn't you do both of us a favor and get us the hell away from him. Why put yourself through?"

Brooke smiled as a few tears ran down her face. She got up and wrapped her arms around him.

"This is our home, he wasn't going to take everything from us."

Colton sighed and hugged his mother back. He knew how much had been sacrificed on her part and at that moment he swore that he would do anything to make her proud.

Across town, the Scott family was getting ready to sit down for their own dinner. Peyton set the roast down on to the table. Everything looked fancy on the table.

Lucas came out of his office and smiled at the sight, "Well aren't you just little Susie homemaker." He moved behind his wife and kissed her shoulder.

"Smells great." He whispered into her ear. Peyton chuckled a little

"It does, doesn't it?" She responded staring proudly at the meal she cooked.

"I was talking about you."

Peyton laughed slightly and rolled her eyes, "Go get Spencer. He's outside shooting hoops."

Lucas smiled as he pulled away from Peyton. He walked outside and opened the door, "Spencer, come on dinner!"

The teenager dropped the ball and walked into the house. He hated these stupid family dinners. As he walked in, the doorbell rang.

"Oh Spence, can you get that?" His mother called from the table. He rolled his eyes and walked to the door. He opened it to reveal his smiling Uncle and a woman.

"Hey Uncle Nate." He said hugging the older man. Nate hugged him back and walked farther into the house, Haley following him.

"Hey there little brother." Lucas said shaking his hand, "We good from earlier?"

Nathan nodded and walked over to kiss Peyton's cheek. Luke turned and smiled at his wife.

"Hi Luke." A voice said tearing Lucas' eyes away from his wife. He felt chills hit his spine, was that really the voice of Haley James. Luke slowly turned his head and looked at Haley James.

Her once brown hair was now light blonde but it was still the same Haley.

"Haley James?" Peyton said breaking away from Nathan and running over to the girl. She threw her arms around her in a tight hug, "God I missed you!"

"I missed you too Peyton." She said hugging her back. Their hug broke and Lucas looked at her, "No hug for your best friend?"

Haley smiled and wrapped her arms around him. It had been 17 years since she hugged him like that. It was hard to believe she was hugging mini Dan.

"As much I as love weird family reunions, can we eat?" Spencer asked causing everyone in the room to laugh at the seriousness in his voice.
