News that change the world

"Cohen, you won't believe what happened! It's like the best news ever!"

Seth jumped up from the couch when the high voice of his wife interrupted his little Saturday afternoon nap he was taking.

"The next edition will be out on Monday, I promise!" he replied, looking quite confused.

Summer Cohen laughed and went over to her husband to kiss him. "I'm sorry I woke you up," she said lovingly, "but as I said, I have the best news ever."

Seth rubbed his eyes and tried to wake up completely. He slumped back on the couch. "What happened?" he asked groggily.

Summer clutched her hands tightly together. "You are going to be an uncle!" she sung and grinned from one ear to the other.

Seth frowned and yawned. "To whom?"

Summer shook her head, seeming quite unnerved and sat next to Seth. "God, to whom? You have so many siblings that you don't know which one becomes a father, right?" she said. When Seth didn't answer, Summer just sighed and went on. "Marissa's pregnant." She said, smiling.

Seth kept on frowning. "And this is a good thing, right?"

Summer punched her husband in the ribs. "Of course it is! She and Ryan have been trying to get pregnant for so long, and now it finally worked out!"

"Cool." Seth rubbed his forehead.

Summer rolled her eyes and sighed. "Try and talk to men about babies." She said and stood up.

Seth took hold of Summer's arm and made her slump down on the couch again.

"I'm sorry, but this baby is probably the size of a bean right now, and I don't see what's so exciting about it for me. It's cool for Ryan and Marissa, but it's gonna be even cooler when they have it. Right?"

Summer just stared at Seth, one of her eyebrows raised and her arms crossed in front of her chest. "You men don't understand that." She simply said.

Seth smiled. "Why are you so upset about it? It's not our baby. And it doesn't mean that I'm not happy for them. I'm just not so ethusiastic… as you are."

Summer smiled back at Seth. "Aaaalright, I give up. I don't stand a chance against you anyways." She said and Seth started to tickle her.

"Exactly."

"Sum? Are you okay in there?" Marissa asked, frowning. She had been coming over to join Summer for an afternoon coffee on Summer's and Seth's balcony of their penthouse that gave a breathtaking view over Newport and the ocean.

Summer had been disappearing to the bathroom a good while ago, and Marissa started to wonder what might take her friend so long.

A muffled cough came from the bathroom. "Sure, Coop, I am. Why don't you make youself comfortable on the balcony?"

Marissa shrugged and went out again, taking a huge slice of cake when she crossed the kitchen. She was now four months pregnant, and she really enjoyed being able to eat everything whenever she felt like it.

On the balcony, she laid her feet on the balustrade and ate her slice of cake.

Inside the bathroom, Summer wiped away the sweat that was on her forehead. Her head was aching from throwing up. This had been going on for several days now, and Summer knew only too well what those signs could mean.

With her heart pounding to her chest, she held up the small pregnancy test stick she had just taken and waited for the colors to change.

When she heard Marissa coming into the apartment again, she quickly opened the bathroom door and handed the pregnancy test over to her.

"I'm too excited to check, can you tell me the result when it's on?"

Marissa's eyes widened and a bride smile crossed her face as she took the test stick. "Oh my God, Sum, are you serious?"

Summer stood in front of Marissa, looking very insecure. She shrugged. "I don't know. I mean, I've been pregnant once, but I didn't feel as miserable then as I feel now... even though my situation was much more miserable then."

Her thoughts went back to her first pregnancy, and how scared she had been when she had first found out about it. She had been living with her ex-boyfriend Eric then, a very violent man that had beaten her all the time. Summer's life had been a mess then, and only when Eric was caught by the police she had been able to make a new start.

Unfortunately, this new start contained the loss of her and Eric's baby. Fortunately, it meant marrying Seth and leading the happy life she had always wished for.

And now she was pregnant again, or at least she thought so. But it was different this time, because if she really was having a baby, it would be a baby that had been made out of love, not violence.

Marissa kept a totally straight face as she waited for the colors on the pregnancy test to change.

Summer bit her lip and tried to read her best friend's eyes. She nervously kneaded her hands. "What is it, Coop? Am I pregnant?"

Marissa smiled and shook her head. "Not yet." She answered, her eyes not leaving the stick she held.

Summer's heart beated incredibly fast. She didn't even know why she was so excited. Even if Seth and her had been married since two years now, they hadn't planned on children yet. So if she wasn't pregnant it wouldn't be a big deal,

because unlike to Ryan and Marissa, she and Seth didn't want a baby yet.

After a few more moments, Marissa sighed and put down the pregnancy test. She looked Summer in the eyes, trying not to give away the test results.

Summer's eyes widened out of curiousity. "So?" she asked impatiently.

Marissa tried to suppress her smile, but her happiness wouldn't let her. "You are pregnant!" she yelled.

Summer let out a tiny scream and took the test, wanting to see the result with her own eyes. "Oh my God, Coop, I'M PREGNANT!" she shouted, jumping up and down.

Marissa clapped her hands and hugged her best friend tightly. "I'm so happy for you!" she said and grinned.

Summer laughed. "And I'm happy for you!"

When they let go of each other, Summer couldn't stop smiling. "God, Coop, this is so cool, you and me, best friends, and both pregnant at the same time! It's fantastic!"

"I know!" Marissa replied, still smiling as well. "You know what, we need to celebrate! Let's take our men out for dinner tonight!"

Summer nodded enthusastically. "I'll call the restaurant and make reservations!" she chimed, running over to the telephone. She couldn't wait and tell Seth the big news.
