Marissa thought back to 2 months ago where she and Ryan were happy or not arguing. It wasn't that they didn't love each other, they both did unconditionally, it was that Marissa was so scared of letting Ryan down and he was so scared of loosing Marissa, there own fears and worries and lack of communication is what ruined their relationship. It seemed like years ago now though. When she saw Ryan in school he would always shrug her off or completely look in the other direction, Marissa had hung out with Seth as Summer but she hadn't spent longer than minutes with Ryan. And her heart missed it, she missed him. She looked at her clock in her cell phone and as it said 2:30am she decided that it was about time that she head back to the Roberts house.
"Come on Baby" She said into the darkness as she slowly got up and walked down the ramp.
Marissa liked living with Summer, it was nice to have a stable family home again. It was also nice to see her mother with doctor Roberts. The more attention she paid to the relationship the more she forgot about her daughters. She drove up to the mansion and put her car in park and made her way up to the steps. Marissa had been out for about 4 hours now, and couldn't wait to get in her bed. Once she was up in her room, she removed the little make up that she had on her face. Marissa looked through the door to Summer and Seth who were sleeping soundly, and as soon as the morning came, he would be out of there pretty fast, racing back to the Cohen house, before Sandy or Kirsten realised that he wasn't in his room. It was their routine, She smiled towards her best friends and shut the door that adjoined the two rooms, and quietly crept into her room. Once she was under the comforter the cool material fell against her skin. She curled up into a ball and placed her hand on her stomach.
"Night Baby, I love you" It was strange and some people may even call Marissa crazy, but this was her comfort, knowing that she was going to be a Mommy and that she was going to have a baby to love unconditionally would stop her from going down the self destructive route. Yes, Marissa Cooper was having a baby.

The Sun shone brightly through the pool house. As this begun to wake up Ryan he sat up and made his way outside. Again the time was sunny. As he made his way into the kitchen his coffee and cereal was laid out for him as a bagel was out for Seth, with a note saying, 'Gone to the office' from Kirsten and a note from Sandy saying 'Gone to business meet in LA, love you all should be back by dinner'. Sandy and Kirsten were close to their children, Ryan thought himself as their child, they were more enough his parents than his old family used to be. Kirsten had been working double for Newmatch since Julie went on her honeymoon so Ryan and Seth were used to being alone, He liked the quiet but it wasn't anything compared to the bustling family kitchen that he loved. He sat down all alone in his home. He picked up the phone and dialled Sadie's number, so she could join him for breakfast.
"Hey, Ive got extra cap'n'crunch and I thought that you might like some?"
"O yeh, I will be there in a sec, Love you!"
Ryan smiled, he didn't not love her but he didn't love her either.
"You too, see you in a minute"
He placed the phone back in the cradle and made his way back to the pool house to tidy up before Sadie got there. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a picture frame that was lying face-down on the counter. In the frame was a picture of Ryan and Marissa, the day when they all took Jimmy Cooper's boat out and spent the day together. It had been a long time since he had spent any time with Seth or Summer, or Marissa for that matter. He took the picture out of the frame and placed one in there of Sadie and himself, he took one last look of Marissa in the picture and put it in his side draw,
"That's over now" he had to reassure himself. Because everyone but Sadie knew he wanted back
Within the hour Sadie came over they were both back in bed. This was most of their relationship, physical but maybe something more. All Ryan could think about was how guilty he felt by throwing out a picture of Marissa and him,
"So what shall we do today babe?" Sadie spoke up from the position of his chest.
"I don't mind, whatever you want to do is fine by me" he kissed the top of her head and she snuggled back against him.
"How about we go down to the shops on the pier and then to the beach, I will be in a bikini!" he pretended to sound enthusiastic as they both got out of bed and ready for the day.
