"He's had dinner and yes i gave him two desserts. I'm allowed to spoil my grandson. He doesn't visit enough so i make the most out of our time together." Karen explained.

"Bye grandma Karen." The young proclaimed. Waving before tossing his bookbag into the backseat.

"You have enough on you're plate. I don't want him around so much tiring you out and pushing against rules we set."

"I know how much the two of you like spending time together." "Thanks for keeping him." Lucas replied.

"Anytime." Karen stated matter of fact. Watching them pull out of the driveway in Lucas's car. Before she went back inside.

After a short drive home. Lucas and Ellison age 6. Made their way into the entryway.

"You pick out a book from the bookshelf. Brush you're teeth. Put on you're PJs. Then i'll tuck you in." Lucas instructed.

"Two stories." Ellison insisted.

Lucas smiled warmly. Reaching over to ruffle his son's curly blond hair.

Ellison smiled smiled. His green eyes bright.

"Two stories but no more." Lucas insisted.

When Peyton found out she was pregnant during their junior year in high school. It was a shock. And took alot of getting used too.

By that time the two had broken up and made it a point to stay friends. Throughout the pregnancy and birth.

Lucas was as involved as possible.

When she started dating Jake and moved in with him.

They were co parenting their son. Friends. Until a year ago.

When something inside of Peyton changed. And she pulled away from her friends. Their son. And left town.

No one has seen or spoken to her since.

Days Later

"Lucas and I are friends. Nothing more." Brooke replied.

"Sure Tigger. Friends." Haley said.

As the women wrapped up their weekly breakfast outing.
