Seth couldn't believe what he had just heard, he started to cough a little then composed himself.

"I'm sorry what did you say?"

Trinity tried to come up with a good explanation to what she had just said. She couldn't exactly think of anything to say at all though. She just put her cell phone down on the kitchen counter and walked slowly up to Seth.

"Listen you didn't hear anything ok?"

"Oh really? Because What I think I just heard you say was that Theresa actually did keep the baby and now Ryan has a kid. Did I get that right or were you just 'rehearsing for a play' or something. Any explanation would be good about now"

Both of them were in such a state of shock that they couldn't exactly be rational. Trinity sighed and threw her hands down at her sides.

"Yeah fine you hit the Jackpot baby, you got it, now what's it gonna take for you to keep your mouth shut?"

Seth was stunned that he was being bribed for his silence. Ryan was his best friend, he didn't know that he COULD keep something that big under wraps.

"I really don't know if I can not tell him that, I mean it's pretty fucking big Trin"

She got a little angry and folded her arms up to her chest, her face was a little distorted. It was what Seth called 'The Chino look'. He called it that because she looked like she was about to punch him in the face.

"Fine, then you tell him. Fuck that's what I came up here to tell him and You know I was THIS close to doing it and even I couldn't, and I'm pretty up front. You know what? Yeah you tell him, it's a big weight lifted off my shoulders, but just stop and think about it first. So you tell him, what's that going to do to his life here, you're best friend will probably leave all of this behind and come back to Chino. Ryan is just that kind of guy, he takes responsibility for his actions, and a baby is a big fucking action"

Seth thought for a minute then looked up at Trinity and pointed at her.

"Ok you get to tell him."

She was extremely relieved, Then she heard what she had said to Seth all over again in her head. He would be leaving all of it behind. She knew that this was such a better place for Ryan to be, hell he hadn't gotten into any trouble since he's been here. Any real trouble that is.

"Hey I thought you said you came here to talk about Trey? Are you even really his ex-girlfriend?"

Seth looked really confused as if some imposter had come into his house. Trinity shook her head.

"Yeah I was his girlfriend before little miss Gucci shot him"

She sat down and Seth walked a little closer to her he put his hand over hers.

"I'm really sorry about what happened. But you know he was cheating on you right?"

She shook her head again. She knew the second he left for Orange County that he would be banging someone else while he was up here. That's just how it worked with Trey

"Why did you even want to date a guy like him?"

"Well to be honest we just used to be drug buddies, we'd do some deals together but then I got out of the scene and cleaned my act up, well a for the most part. He was just there for me when I needed him. He understood how hard it was to get by in a place like Chino, no glamorization bull shit"

Seth sort of understood what she was talking about, it was almost like how he felt when Anna was still around. Just having some one who knew what it was like to be different and still accept you for who you were.

"Plus he was great in bed"

Seth took his hand off of hers and made a bit of a face.

"Great, I really needed to know that. You know it's like you say something half profound and then bring it down to a low."

She laughed. "oh whatever, I'm sure you would want you little girlfriend to talk about your skills in bed too"

"Actually probably not"

They both started laughing, then Ryan and Marissa came through the door. Ryan was a little blank, he was a little curious as to what Trinity was about to say to him before she had answered the telephone call from Theresa.

"So what were you saying Trin?"

There was a moment of silence where Seth and Trinity both glanced at each other, both wondering weather she would say it or not. How could she?

"Yeah Ryan... I just think you should know..."

"what?"

Seth butted in trying to save the whole situation.

"You know Trinity looks pretty tired maybe we should drop her off at a hotel or something?"

Marissa perked up, she felt like she owed a lot of explanations to Trinity, maybe this was her chance to get some time in to talk to her privately. She did worry that this strange girl would get violent with her, but at the same time she knew that Ryans family had a sort of relationship with her, she couldn't be that bad.

"She can stay at my place, we have all the extra room you know, why bother spend all that money a few days at a hotel?"

Trinity didn't really want to spend all that much time with Marissa, she knew that if she actually got to see the real person in her, it would be even harder to tell Ryan the truth about his son. But she didn't exactly have any money for a hotel, she had planned on sleeping in her car so she agreed to stay at Marissa's house.

"Thanks Marissa, I really appreciate it, well we should be going, Bye Seth, Bye Ryan"

The two of them walked out the front door and into Marissas new BMW.

Ryan still felt a little shook up from the visit. He had a feeling that there was something else going on but didn't really say anything. So he picked up the phone and dialed Theresa's number.

"Hey, Trinity just left."

Theresa had obviously been in tears from the sound of her voice.

"Ryan I know it must sound bad but she was only trying to help"

Ryan was confused, why was she crying? He thought to himself.

"What are you talking about, she had to leave early because she was tired, she's going to be at Marissa's house for a couple days"

"Oh I guess she must have had a long drive from Chino"

Ryan agreed. He said goodbye to Theresa and then went back into the pool house to think about things.

Seth on the other hand was contemplating telling summer what he had learned. He was also caught up in thought.

"I have to tell SOMEONE, I'm going to go crazy, Summer can't keep a secret though... GOD I NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT IT! This is HUGE, it's bigger than huge..."

Suddenly his thoughts changed directions.

"That girls kind of hot. She should spill things on her shirt more often. NO BAD SETH! YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND! GET THOUGHTS OUT OF HEAD NOW!"
