He hated that he had to ask her, but he knew if he didn't they would have to wait a long time before they find a donor. He asked everyone in his family and none of them had the same blood type as Ryanne. He shouldn't have been too surprised because he was told it was hard to find a donor for a person who had such a rare blood type. He knew there was a big chance that Lindsey had the same blood type as Ryanne because she was her mom, but asking her was out of the question because he didn't know where she was and even if he did she wouldn't be eligible because she was off somewhere doing drugs. Lucas knew what Peyton's blood type; she told when they were dating. If they weren't on a thin line then she would have been the first person he asked.

Lucas was now sitting next to his daughter in room at the hospital. She couldn't go home until the surgery. Since Lucas was able to find a donor so fast the doctor decides that they would do the transplant the next day. Ryanne was still pale and her fever hadn't really gone down yet, but she ate all of her food without any of it coming back up so far, and she was holding a conversation with him without dozing off.

"Who is she?"

"What are you talking about?"

"The lady who is giving a complete stranger blood" said Ryanne

A soft chuckle escaped Lucas lips "she is an old friend "he answered vaguely

"That's all I get" she asked with raised eyebrows

"She is just a girl I dated in high school"

"It's her isn't it?"

"Who" he asked

"The girl from the book" she said while giving Lucas the Famous Scott smirk "Aunt Brooke said that you only brood when you think about Peyton Sawyer" Ryanne knew all about Peyton, she read the books and she knew good music therefore she knew who Peyton Sawyer was.

Lucas just nodded.

"Am I going to be able to meet her" she said shyly

"If that's what you want "he smiled

"I can't believe you're doing this"

Peyton and Brooke were at Brooke's house having lunch. Things were starting to feel normal between them again.

"Is it a bad thing?"

"God no, but I still can't believe you're the one doing it" Brooke said "she is worth it though, Ryanne is a great kid and it sucks that she has to go through all this stuff in her life"

"I couldn't say no to him "Peyton started "the look in his eyes broke my heart, there was no way I could have said no"

"It's funny that you guys can hate each other so much but still walk through fire just to help each other"

Peyton smiled it was true, she would do anything for Lucas and he would be a fool not to know that.

"Where is Lindsey" Peyton asked shyly

Brooke sighed she didn't think she should tell her because it wasn't her business to tell "they're not together anymore, they haven't be for a while. Lindsey took a complete 360 on us and is not the same person she was when you last seen her"

"What happened" Peyton asked not satisfied with her answer

"Peyton it's not my place to tell" Brooke said "as much as I want to I don't think it would be a good idea"

"I……" the sound of her cell phone cut her off

"Hello"

"Hey it's me"

Peyton smiled she loved the sound of his voice

"Hey what's up" she asked

"Well I'm at the hospital and Ryanne wanted to know if you could come up here so you guys can meet before the surgery"

"Umm sure, do you want me to come now?"

"Whenever you feel like coming"

"Alright I'll see you later"

"Okay"

"Okay "she said awkwardly

"Bye"

"Bye" she hung up the phone and looked at Brooke "well I'm going to go"

Brooke raised her eyebrows "Broody"

Peyton smiled "yeah he wants me to come to the hospital to meet Ryanne" she said while getting up and walking to the door "see ya later B. Davis"

Brooke was glad Peyton was going to help Ryanne. She was like a daughter to her and she hated seeing her so weak. She really hoped that everything goes well with the surgery.

When Peyton arrived at the hospital she was nervous. She wanted Ryanne to like her and not just because she was donating her blood.

When she got to the room she had to double check and make sure she had the right room. She was shocked to see that Lucas Scott had a red head daughter. She was expecting a blonde blue-eyed girl. If you didn't know her you would think she just had a typical fever. They were watching TV so when she knocked on the door to make her presences know they both turned their head to look at the blonde standing at the door.

"Hey" said Lucas

She didn't miss the way the corner of his mouth turned up when he saw her. It almost felt like they weren't on bad terms. She didn't know if they were just being civil until after the transplant and she kind of didn't want to find out.

"Hi" Peyton said back

Lucas stood up and offered Peyton his chair and grabbed another one and sat it next to her. Peyton sat down and looked at Ryanne

"I'm Peyton" god could she be any more awkward

"Yeah I know" she said with a small smile

Lucas laughed "I didn't know you guys were so shy" he said feeling the need to release some of the tension. Turning to Peyton "you know she is a big fan of yours"

Peyton smiled "really"

Ryanne instantly turned red and gave her dad a dirty look "yeah, not a lot of people have an ear for music like you"

"So you're a big fan of music"

Lucas chuckled "almost worst than you"

"Do you like all kind of music" Peyton asked

"No, I'm just a rock girl and I also like some country songs"

"I will be right back I'm going down to the cafeteria to grab me something to eat" said Lucas do you guys want anything"

"No I'm good" said the blonde girl

"Can you get me some juice" asked Ryanne

"Sure, I'll be back"

When Lucas walked out the door Ryanne looked at Peyton

"I really wanted to thank you for doing this for me" she started "I know all about you and my dad and I know it might be weird but I really appreciate you doing this"

"It's no big, I'm glad I get to help you" Peyton said

"I just wanted you to how grateful I am and if you ever need anything I will do it"

Peyton laughed "I'll keep that in mind" she joked

I AM SO SO SO SO SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING. But its summer and I'm a teenager and I want to have fun before school starts. Sorry if this chapter sucked I still don't know where im going with it. I decided that Ryanne is going to be the only child because I want this story to focus more on Peyton, Lucas, and Ryanne than the other characters. And the Lindsey thing might be confusing now but I will explain everything with her soon. Sorry about the way I ended this chapter. Review Please
