Kirsten was surprised when Sandy had returned to the house with Ryan. Sandy explained why Ryan was back and even though she felt for the boy, she still didn't want him to stay. They looked out the window to see Seth and Ryan floating on rafts in the pool chatting it up.
"We need to find his mother." Kirsten said taking a sip of coffee.
"I have someone at the office trying to track her down." Sandy stated. He went on to tell her that if he couldn't find his mother then he would be put into foster care till he was 18. He might be adopted but at his age it would be really hard to place him and he would probably end up in a group home.
Later that night Ryan signed the paper saying he didn't have a parent around to take care of him and that he was yet again part of the system. Seth was really pissed off. He yelled that they had a ton of room and why couldn't Ryan stay with them? Ryan responded with 'It's ok.' and retreated back to the pool house.
Once in the pool house Ryan just looked up at the ceiling. He was part of the system again. He would love to stay here with the Cohens. Seth was a cool kid once you got to know him and it would be cool to actually have a family that care about you. But he also knew Kirsten didn't like him to much.
The next morning Ryan was woken up by Sandy.
"Yea?" Ryan asked confused. He wiped the sleep from his eyes and realized it must be time to go so he got up. "I'll be ready to go in five minutes." he said looking down about to walk away but Sandy stopped him.
"Hold up Ryan. Sit down for a minute." He said calmly. Ryan was confused but sat back down on the bed. "We got a call today. We found your mom." Sandy said looking eye to eye with Ryan.
"Where is she?" He asked not really sure what to think.
"Right here." Came a voice from behind him. Ryan turned around to see his mother standing there. Ryan shot up to his feet quickly. Yet he didn't move after that. He had to much anger and confusion in him to move. Why would she leave him then come back? She moved slowly over towards where Ryan was standing.
"Why did you come back?" Ryan asked angrily. The quickly asked, "Why did you leave?" He was so confused.
"Ryan, I left cause I couldn't bare to see you fail." Dawn said moving closer to Ryan but Ryan only moved backwards. Dawn stopped. Sandy watched the scene quietly from the corner of the room.
"What?" Ryan asked wondering what the hell his mother meant by that.
"You are the smart one, the good one, so when you got arrested I couldn't bare to see you fail. I was so young when I had your brother and now he is to far gone but with you, I always thought that you would become someone but when you were arrested i knew I failed again and i couldn't bare it. I'm sorry. Will you ever forgive me?" Dawn finished. Ryan who had crossed his arms over his chest trying to protect himself in a way, just stared back at her. He didn't know what to say.
"What about AJ?" Ryan finally asked softly.
"I left him. He laid his hands on me.....and on you too many times." She said trying to reach out to her boy. He pulled back.
"So this is AJ's fault?" Ryan spat angrily.
"Can't we start over? One step at a time?" Dawn asked desperately. Ryan looked away from her not sure what to say. She sounded sincere.
"I don't know mom. I mean you left me a note...a note!" He said with tears threatening to fall.
"I'm so sorry baby. AJ..." She began to say but caught herself. "I shouldn't have done that. I am so sorry." She was crying now. Ryan hated to see her cry. He didn't know why that he still cared about her so much after all she did to him.
"Ok mom. Stop crying. Please." Ryan said going over to her. "One step at a time." He sighed and hugged her. She quieted down. That's when the two people realized Sandy was still in the room. Ryan looked away. "I am going to go get dressed." He said grabbing some clothes and heading to the bathroom. In the bathroom he listened for Sandy and his mother. He heard them walk out and back into the main house.
Ryan didn't know what to do. These past few days have been so confusing for him. First he was kicked out, then he was here, then he was supposed to be back in the system and then his mother came back. He wondered what she really wanted. If she really wanted to mend things with him or if she needs something out of him. He sighed and finished getting dressed. This was going to be a long day.

Rachel woke up the next morning with the intent on going out and looking for Ryan once again. What she didn't know was that Nicks mom had other plans.
Rachel walked dressed into the kitchen and saw everyone was up and dressed as well. They exchanged 'Good Mornings' and had breakfast.
"How would you kids like to go to Disneyland today?" She asked smiling. Nick and Rachel looked at each other.
"I was gonna go look for Ryan again." Rachel said.
"You can do that tomorrow. Come on it will be fun!" She exclaimed still smiling. Rachel couldn't help but smile too. She had never been to a park like that before.
"Ok sure lets go." She said and Nick agreed. Jim had to work so he wasn't going to come. He reassured Nick that he was going to ask around at work about the name Atwood which Nick thanked him for again. With in a half an hour they were on their way to Disneyland.
