"Lilly," Miley started in a somewhat raised ton of voice. "You didn't!"

"I just thought it might be nice to invite Oliver over dinner!" Lilly defended herself. "You know to catch up on stuff!"

"Who for what to what?" Trevor asked as he entered the kitchen where all his roommates had gathered.

Miley stared at Lilly.

"Well, Lil's here decided to invite over their," Adam started to answer seeing as no one else was answering Trevor, he pointed to Lilly, Miley, and Jake when he said their, "Old friend, some dude named Oliver over for dinner today."

"Trevor?" Miley questioned sweetly. "Can you make something for dinner?"

He looked at her with "love" in his eyes. "You're lucky I feel like cooking." Trevor said to Lilly. He looked at the group that was standing in the living room, kitchen area of the apartment. "I think we have the requirements for spaghetti." He said as he made his way back to cabinet to get out a pot to start some water boiling.

"Who says requirements when they're talking about food?" Adam questioned. "It sounds like you're running a contest to win a date or something."

The doorbell rang again. "Just shut up Adam, and someone answer the door!" Trevor said somewhat frustrated.

"Right!" Miley exclaimed. She walked up to the front door. She took a deep breath and opened the door to see Oliver and Kyle standing there.

"Uh...Long time no see?" Oliver questioned feeling and sounding nervous with some awkwardness thrown in.

Miley looked at him for a few seconds, remembering her friend. She then looked down at the small boy clutching Oliver's hand as if it was his life source. Miley was shocked that he had a kid with him. She quickly regained composure and looked at Oliver. "Hey Oliver!" She exclaimed as she tried to sound thrilled to see her old friend again.

She stepped aside and gestured for Oliver to enter the apartment. He walked in and Kyle followed slowly behind him but not too far behind so he could still hold on to his "father's" hand.

"Um... Everyone this is Kyle." Oliver introduced the young boy.

"Hey there sweetie." Miley said as she came down to his eye level. "I'm Miley."

Kyle stared at her. He blinked once and turned away.

"He uh, he um doesn't talk much..." Oliver informed everyone.

"So, he's shy?" Trevor questioned from the kitchen. He came up to the island that separated the kitchen from the living room. "I'm Trevor by the way." He introduced himself.

Oliver nodded. "If you would count not ever hearing him speak would fall under shy, then yeah he's shy." Oliver replied.

"Wait! You mean your son hasn't even said his first word yet?" Trevor asked being totally stunned while he stired the sauce.

"Uh... well according to the social worker he can talk..." Oliver filled them in, "I've just never heard him..."

"I bet something traumatic happened to him when he was like two!" Adam whispered to Lilly. "Ow!" He suddenly yelped. "Watch where you putting those elbows girl!" He exclaimed loud enough for everyone to hear.

"That's Adam." Lilly introduced Oliver while Adam rubbed the spot where Lilly had elbowed him. "So, how long have you had Kyle?" She asked him.

"For two days." He replied sheepishly.

"That explains the juice boxes!" Lilly exclaimed. Lilly came down to Kyle's level. "Hey there Kyle!" She started. "I'm Lilly!" He stared at her and it seemed as if some of the fear left his eyes... some that is. "I like your bear." She told him again.

He looked at her and then at his bear. His bear, his only companion in this cruel world. He looked to Lilly again and almost smiled at her...ALMOST.

"I hate to butt into this awkward reunion but the foods down." Trevor pipped up from the kitchen.


Everyone sat around the kitchen table with silence thick in the room. The only sound that was heard was the silver ware on the plates and the occasional slurp.

"So... How about them Yankees?" Jake asked just attempting to break the awkward silence that filled the room. No one replied and Jake fell quiet again.

Over the meal there was some small talk here and there but mostly it was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

Oliver looked over at Kyle and saw that his plate was empty. "Do you want more food?" He asked the brown headed child. He shook it 'no'. "Do you want to go play with your bear?" He asked again. Kyle nodded 'yes' and ran off down the hall to play with his bear. Oliver turned his attention back to his food.

"So... uh... who's Kyle's mom?" Lilly finally asked the question that everyone wanted to know but didn't want to ask in front of Kyle or didn't have the nerve to ask it.

Oliver looked at her, his fork mid air almost to his mouth. "I... uh... I don't want to get into that." He replied.

Silence fell over the table again. Finally Trevor's cell rang. He looked at the screen. "I... um... I have to take this." He got up from the table and walked down the hall that led to the bedrooms. He'd do anything to get out of that awkward silence fest and this was an "important" call. Once he was out of earshot he answered his phone. "Hey there!" He exclaimed. "No, I can't make it tonight... Something came up at uh, work and I promised my roommates I'd make them dinner... Yeah I'll see you tomorrow!" He finished his call and made his way back to the table not realizing that "little ears" had over heard every part of his conversation.


"This isn't anything like what I thought it would be..." Lilly thought herself, "...I thought it would be like old times with Oliver acting like a dough nut except more mature maybe but not like this."

"Liiiiilllly," She heard a voice saying, "Earth to Liiiiillly Truscott." It was Adam waving his hand in front of Lilly's face trying to pull her out of her trance that she had fallen into.

"What?" She asked abruptly coming out of her own world and back into reality.

"Your friend's about to leave." Adam answered.

Lilly got up from the table and walked over to Oliver. "Well... I guess I'll be seeing you around." She told Oliver.

"Uh... yeah..." Oliver answered.

"Bye Kyle!" Lilly said cheerfully and waved at him as the two walked out the door.

Kyle stopped and looked at his "dad". He turned and waved at Lilly shocking Oliver.
