Chapter two: The Gangs all here

"Can you say ball?" Lucas asked pushing Cody in his stroller onto the river court the next morning.

"Ball." Cody said.

"Good job." Lucas smiled.

Lucas sat Cody's stroller by the bleachers so, he could keep an eye on him. Cody watched every move Lucas made, when he would dribble the ball, when he shot the ball and when he would miss a shot Cody would just laugh.

"Hey that's not funny." Lucas laughed, which only made Cody laugh more.

"Okay buddy, its your turn." He said pulling out a little basketball out of the diaper bag.

"Ball." Cody said seeing the basketball.

"Yeah, ball. Can you say net?" Lucas asked picking Cody up out of his stroller and putting him down on the court.

"Net." Cody said running around the court with the ball.

Lucas smiled and picked Cody back up.

"You know, if you want to get all the girls then your going to have to stop chasing this ball and start putting it through that net. The girls love basketball players, that's how I got your mom." Lucas laughed seeing Cody smile.

"That's how I got your aunt Haley" Lucas heard someone say behind him.

Lucas turned around seeing Nathan standing there smiling holding Conner and Jamie standing beside them. Jamie looks a lot like Nathan, his hair is brown now, but his eyes are still bright blue and Conner looks identical to Nathan. His hair is almost black and he has dark blue eyes.

"Hey, I didn't know you guys were here already." Lucas smiled giving Nathan a hug and then Jamie.

"Just got here, we dropped the girls off at your house and Peyton said you were here."

"Yeah, Cody and I are just getting in a little practice."

"You need all the practice you get from the looks of that jump shot I just saw." Nathan laughed.

"Ha Ha, very funny. Jamie Scott look how big you are, how old are you now, 16?" Lucas smiled.

"Nine, uncle Lucas." Jamie laughed.

"Well could have fooled me." Lucas smiled.

"Are you guys ready? I think your mom, aunt Peyton, and aunt Brooke are making lunch." Nathan said to Jamie.

"Yeah, were ready." Lucas said getting Cody's stroller. "We'll meet you guys at the house."

"Kay, c'mon Jamie."

Walking through the front door Lucas and Nathan could smell lunch cooking, they stepped in the kitchen to find Haley, Peyton, and Brooke sitting around the kitchen table. Haley looked almost exactly the same her hair was still brown, but it was longer than when Lucas had last seen her.

"Luke!" She said jumping up from the table and giving him a hug.

"Oh God, it's good to see you Hales." He smiled hugging her back.

"Where's Julian?" Nathan asked Brooke.

"Right here." Nathan heard someone say from behind him.

Julian walked out of the living room holding Lola and feeding her a bottle.

"Hey man!" Nathan said.

"Hey Nate!" Julian said shaking Nathan's hand.

"The gangs all here." Peyton smiled.
