Chapter 13 -
Ryan began to cry around seven o'clock.
"Hey bud. What are you doing up so early?" Nathan asked.
He kept fussing. But when Nathan picked him up he became happy again.
Today the guys decided they would do the Disneyland park instead of California adventure.
When they got into park that morning around ten they decided to go to the special Plaza Inn breakfast where they ate with some of the Disney characters.
After the breakfast was over the guys decided to go on the Storybook Land boat ride. Ryan loved it, he kept trying to wrestle out of Nathan arms and reach out to grab the scenery.
After the Storybook Land ride they went on It's a Small World, but unfortunately this one sort of scared Ryan and he buried himself into Lucas' chest.
"It's OK kiddo it's OK," He kept whispering but he wouldn' calm down he clung like mad to Lucas' shirt. By the time they were done the ride he had stretched his shirt into a weird wrinkled mess.
"Maybe we should get him some lunch or a snack to try and calm him down, but I also think those little doll things scared the heck out of him." Nathan said. "We may have scarred him for life."
"Yeah you're probably right here you want to take him?" Lucas asked handing him Ryan.
"Thanks." He said taking the child.
After lunch the two of them took Ryan put out the blanket and watched the parade.
During it Ryan was dazzled by the show he was a major Disney kid and he had watched all of his new ones and Nathan's old Disney originals. The three of them had a great afternoon.
By the end of the day Ryan's favorite ride became Peter Pan's Flight. it wasn't really the best ride for babies, but the people running it let him on and he had a blast.
The rest of the trip was great the three guys never had been closer than they became on that trip.
As they got their stuff ready to go home that morning none of them wanted to leave, but they knew they had to.
They were completely ready to leave, Ryan was strapped into his car-seat and Nathan and Lucas were ready to get into the car.
"Hey Nate." Lucas said.
"Yeah."
"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for all those times I doubted you as a dad and all those times I told Haley she was too good for you. And to say that i'm glad you wanted me to come on this trip with you two, I've had a blast and i really am glad me and you are brothers and that Ryan was what made us come together as brothers."
"Hey, no hard feelings for everything and I am glad you wanted to be a part of Ryan's life, I don't think this year would have been this fun, or this possible without you. Besides all those problems we have had before we have already dealt with that it's all OK, everything is fine."
"Thanks Nate,"
"Yeah and thank you."
The two of them got into the car and were ready for the trip home.
They arrived home five days later. They decided they should stop off at Karen and Keith's and Nathan's parents homes first.
"Hey mom!" Lucas called as he entered the cafe.
"Hey Lucas, how was the trip." She asked happily.
"Oh we had a blast, Ryan had the time of his life. Nathan and I are as close as ever and we are finally home." Lucas replied happily as he sat down on a stool.
"Hey Mrs. Scott uncle Keith." Nathan said as he stepped into the door with Ryan who was wearing his little mickey ears.
"Nathan, you know I don't answer to Mrs. Scott call me Karen." Karen said as she kept washing the counter.
"OK hi Karen."
"So how is the little guy doing." Keith asked as he went over to see Ryan.
"The ears are adorable." Karen added as she came up to him too.
"Yeah but he hates wearing them so before he ruins them I'm going to take them off." Nathan laughed.
They had a nice talk for an hour or so before the guys headed to go see Deb, and Dan.
"Hey mom." Nathan said as he walked into the door.
"hey, how's my grandson, did you bring him home in one piece?"
"Yeah mom, he's fine Lucas is bringing him in." Nathan replied.
"Oh hey Lucas." Deb said as Lucas walked in holding Ryan. "Oh look at the little ears." The boys had put the little ears back onto Ryan to show Nathan's parents.
"But we need to take them off he hates them." Lucas said as he pulled them off. "We just wanted you to see them."
"Hey boys." Dan said putting on a nice face.
"hey dad." Nathan said a little confused, sense when was he nice.
"How was the trip?" He asked.
"We had a blast. Ryan loved it." Nathan replied.
"I'm glad but wow he is so big now." Dan said.
"yeah you haven't seen him for a little while. Oh and he said his first words on the trip down." Nathan said proudly.
"Did he?" Deb asked happily.
"Yeah, he said Dada." Lucas said. "then when he said it Nathan almost drove us off the road."
"Good job son." Dan said.
"Yeah, oops." Nathan said happily. "Dad want to come talk to me in the other room?"
"Sure." He replied.
"OK what's going on dad, you aren't this nice." Nathan asked as he closed the door.
"I just decided that I don't know my son anymore, you have changed so much in the last year, and I also didn't ever get to know my grandson, and i'm sorry for that." He replied.
"So am I." Nathan replied. "but let's go out with Mom and Lucas."
"OK."
"Wait, and why are you being so nice to Lucas?"
"Because he has been there for you in the last year and I am glad for that."
Nathan couldn't figure out what was with his dad, but it wasn't bad, so he followed.
they talked there for another hour then the guys headed home it was dark by then, so they just threw their stuff by the door and went right to bed.
"Night Lucas. tomorrow we can get back to the regular world."
"Yeah."
And both of them crashed. Neither had no idea that there was a letter that could change their lives sitting by the door.
