Lucas slowly walked into his son's room. He tried going to his own but Peyton barked at him to go and talk to his son.

"Spence?" He said lightly looking around the room. Suddenly the teenager appeared from his closet with his gym bag in hand, "What you doing son?"

"Packing Dad, what else?" He retorted in a bitter tone

"Why?"

"Cause Mom's being a bitch."

"Hey!" Lucas said pointing a finger at the boy and allowing his tone to rise a little, "Don't call your mother that."

"Well she was. She started yelling at me cause of your mistakes." He said as his blond hair fell in front of his face.

"What mistakes?"

"Your son Dad. You know Colton right?"

"Don't call him that Spencer. We've talked about this."

"No Dad we haven't. All I know is that when I was nine years old we moved here and that kid had your last name and looked like you."

"He shouldn't be a Scott ok Spencer? He shouldn't. He should be a Davis like his mother but she just wanted to hold this over my head. She was just jealous that I choose you and your mother over her."

"Yeah Dad that's it. She was just jealous so she named her kid Scott. That is total bull. And you know what, speaking of family Dad, I don't even know your family!" Spencer said now yelling at Lucas

"Yes you do. What are you talking about?" The older man asked as he leaned against the side of the dresser.

"I don't know my grandpa and grandma. I don't know my Uncle. I know Uncle Derek and Grandpa Sawyer but that's it!"

"You've met my parents hundreds of times and Nate comes around all the time! So don't you raise your voice at me boy!"

"Really Dad? Then why is he with Brooke and that kid right now? Why is it that grandpa Dan goes to see him all the time? Huh Dad? Why?" Spencer said throwing a picture of him and his parents at the wall.

"Hey!" Lucas said walking towards his son and grabbing his wrist, "don't you pull that crap on me!"

"Enough!" Peyton yelled from the doorway. She walked into the room and scoffed, "I said talk to him Lucas but God, you can't even do that can you? Spencer, clean that mess up and get some sleep."

Peyton shook her head one last time before leaving the room. Lucas sighed heavily and followed her out of the room.

"Peyton, Peyton wait." He called out after her. She stopped and turned around. The tears were running down her face already. "Whoa baby, what's wrong."

"Don't act like you don't know Lucas." She said not hiding the anger in her voice, "I thought I married Lucas Scott, hero and possibly the greatest guy in the world."

"You did. I'm still that Lucas."

"No you're not. You're Dan Scott Jr. Look how you treat your sons."

"Peyton stop calling Brooke's son my son."

She scoffed loudly and stared at him in disbelief, "Can you even hear what a jackass you sound like? Brooke's son? That is your son too."

"How do we know that? Huh?" He asked looking into her eyes, "she slept with Chris Keller remember? She slept with him and that kid could very well be his."

"You know that is your son!" She said hitting his chest, "Do you know how I've felt for the past 17 years? That I got the family and good life? She raised her son on her own even after I told you to help her!"

"What do you even care Peyton? You've lived in the same town for the past eight years and never said one word to each other!"

"Because she is still my best friend." She said raging at her husband, "I don't want you here tonight Lucas. Go to the beach house or something."

With that Peyton walked away leaving Lucas in shock. He turned and looked into the mirror and what he saw scared him. For the first time in his life, he saw Dan looking back at him.

Across the way, Brooke and Colton were walking back to their house. Brooke had her arm looped through her son's.

"Come on Mom, tell me!" He said laughing as he threw his head back

"You can find out tomorrow after school!" She said laughing back as they reached the foot of their house. Colton stopped and smiled shyly.

"I uh won't be coming home straight after school tomorrow." He said as he dropped his head a little. Brooke's question grew in her eyes as she studied her son, "I have basketball practice."

Brooke was quiet for a moment before she hugged her son tightly, "I'm so proud of you." She whispered in his ear softly. Colton smiled as he hugged his mother back. He opened his eyes to see a figure walking towards them. He quickly pulled his mother behind him to protect her. His body tensed up as he looked at the figure. The closer it got the more it looked like a woman.

Brooke too was trying to figure out who it was. Suddenly it dawned on her who it was. She pushed past her son and ran to the figure. She threw her arms around her and pulled her into a tight hug.

"Haley James!" She cried as she felt Haley hug her back.

"Brooke Davis!" the blond cried back.

"Colton Scott!" Brooke's son cried out to mock the woman. The two quickly broke away and Brooke wiped her eyes.

"Sorry, this is Haley." She said introducing her best friend to her son. Colton shook her hand and smiled politly.

"So yeah, I'm going to bed. Night Mom." He said kissing Brooke's cheek lightly and running off into the house.

"Wow he looks just like uh um," Haley said closing her eyes wondering whether or not she should say his name.

"Lucas? Yeah he does. Care to come in and catch up? I've missed you James." Brooke said changing the conversation quickly

"17 years and you act like I haven't been missing them all?"

"A lot changed Hales but you'll always be my tutor girl now come on.
