Author's note: Really sorry for the looong delay but life as well as other fics took over.
Anyways here is Chapter 3
Next Day
Ryan is working at the restaurant, when a familiar figure wanders toward him.
Ryan: Taylor what brings you here?
Taylor: I was looking for Seth but the guy at the comic book shop said he had today off. Could you help me with something?
Ryan: Taylor I'm really busy here and-
Taylor: Ryan all you have to do is sign this paper and I can get a divorce.
Ryan: Is this in French? I'm not doing it, who knows what you could be making me do.
He retreats to the bar before she can say anything.
Later at the Cohen house: Dinner is about to be served
Kirsten: Ryan can you set the table for 5 please?
Ryan: 5?
Seth: Yes we are hosting a guest tonight apparently. Speaking of which Taylor was upset you wouldn't help her out.
Theresa: The Ryan Atwood I know wouldn't have refused a damsel in distress.
Ryan: Theresa.
Pool House after a very silent and awkward dinner
Theresa: It's good to see you again
Ryan: Yea? Not gonna run out on me when I actually need your help are you?
Theresa: Ryan-
Ryan: No, I'll always appreciate what your mom did for me in Chino but after everything I did for you in Chino and Newport you can't be there for me for one moment? Say hello to our son.
Theresa leaves, nearly in tears, not noticing what Ryan said.
