Chapter 2 Field of Dreams

A/N Okay guys here is the second chapter hope you like it. Sorry it took me a while to update. I had some personal stuff going on

Ryan drove as fast as he could to his brother's office. He parked his car and ran up the steps. When he got to Seth's office he opened the door. All the while a million different thoughts had been running through his head. He looked to his right and there, sitting in an uncomfortable looking chair, was his son.

"Ryan," Seth said. "This is Parker."

Parker, unsure of what to do, stuck out his hand. "Hi"

"Hi" Ryan breathed as he shook his son's hand. "I'm so, so sorry. She said she had a miscarriage. If I had known-"

"I know she told me."

"Why don't we sit down." Seth suggested. "We have a lot to discuss."

Ryan soon learned Theresa had married some guy named John. John was the average Chino guy. A drunk, an addict, and an abuser. One of Parker's friends told him about his lawyer, Seth Cohen, and the picture on his desk.

The picture in question was one of Seth and Ryan when Ryan had first come to live with them. Ryan looked exactly the same as the kid sitting next to him now.

Soon after Parker had found out about Seth, his step father and mother's abuse got worse. He felt his only choice was a lawyer.

"Well, we have to get you out of that house." Seth began.

"What? No!" Parker interuppted.

"Parker, you can't stay there. It's dangerous." Ryan stated. "What did you expect to happen when you came to a lawyer's office."

"I don't know! But you can't take me out of that house."

"Actually, Parker, we can." Seth looked from Parker to Ryan then back again. "I can call child protective services and have you removed from your mother's custody."

"NO! God, I knew this would be a mistake! I can't beleive I actually came here!" He made a move for the door, but Ryan blocked him.

"I'm sorry. I can't let you leave. Now before you were game for getting help. Yet at the mention of getting out of that house your against us. Why?"

"I'm not going into foster care! And I won't leave my sisters and brother! If I leave them no one will take care of them or protect them! I can't leave!"

"Parker." Seth began as Ryan steered him back into a chair. "We will take all of you out of that house."

"And you won't go into foster care." Ryan said. "You'll all come live with me and my family."

Parker was stunned. "Are you sure?"

"Trust me Parker," Ryan said looking his son in the eye. "If you don't come live with me, sooner or later you'll end up either in jail or just like your step father."

"No one has ever done anything like this for me before."

"I'll start the paper work now and tomorrow we'll all go pick up your siblings." Seth smiled, incredibly pleased with himself and how well everything had gone.

"Hey, uh Seth?" Ryan said.

"What?"

"I wouldn't get to cocky. Summer and Marissa are going to kill you for scaring them so badly." Seth's smile quickly faded.
