CHAPTER 1: THE WILL
Sandy and Kirsten are sitting on the couch watching a movie. Sandy has his arm around Kirsten and she has her head resting on his chest. She is almost asleep when Sandy gently nudges her.
"C'mon baby don't fall asleep now were more than halfway through!" said Sandy
"I'm not asleep I'm just resting my eyes." said Kirsten
"Well this is a great movie don't "rest your eyes" as you call it." said Sandy
"Sandy we have seen this movie what like ten times already. I already know whats going to happen." mumbled Kirsten who still had her eyes closed.
"Thats where you are wrong. I have seen this movie more than 10 times. I hate to break it you honey but you have never finished it." said Sandy
"Well it is incredibly boring." said Kirsten as she made herself more comfortable.
Sandy just smiled at her and tightened his grip on her. The movie continued and Sandy noticed that Kirsten had fallen asleep.Sandy was amzed that she could fall asleep just minutes after having a conversation. The front door opened and in walked Seth, Summer, Ryan and Marissa.
"Hey guys" said Sandy
"Hey Dad" said Seth
"Aww Cohen your parents are so cute!" squealed Summer as she noticed that Kirsten had fallen asleep on Sandy
"Cute? No try disgusting. Them making out in the kitchen in the morning is not what I would like to wake up to. I mean seriously thats where I eat. Ryan buddy back me up man!" exclaimed Seth
"Sorry man." said Ryan
"Well son, your'e mom's a hottie. And I got her" said Sandy
"I know, I've been told. And don't even start your next sentance because I know that your'e going to tell me that your'e just going to keep saying it." said Seth
Kirsten was now awake and started to stir in Sandy's arms. She lifted her head up and noticed that Summer and Marissa were over so she decided to fully wake up.
"Hey guys" said kirsten in a tired voice.
"Oh hey Mrs. Cohen. I hope we didn't wake you. Well actually I hope Seth didn't wake you as he was the only one really talking." said Summer
"Oh no you guys are fine. Are you just going to hang here or what?" asked Kirsten
"Yeah is that cool?" asked Ryan
"Oh yeah sure.I'll just get you guys some drinks. You guys hungry? We have some leftover takeout." said Kirsten "Yeah thanks mom." said Seth
Sandy and Kirsten went into the kitchen and Sandy's cell phone rang.
"Whos calling you this late at night?" asked Kirsten
"I don't know I don't recongnize the number" said Sandy
"I'ts probably just a clients cell phone or something. You should answer it. I'll be in the living room with the kids" said Kirsten as she walked out of the kitchen and into the living room.
"Sandy Cohen" said Sandy when he answered his phone
"Sandy it's me Max. Ya know your favorite law professor!" said Max
"Max! hey how ya doing? It's been what 15 years?" asked Sandy
"Yes it has been a while. I'm afraid I have some bad news concerning Rebecca." said Max
"Look I haven't spoken to her since she left so if your'e looking for her I'm afraid I can't help you." said Sandy
"No I know. Im not quite sure how to say this Sandy but Rebecca, shes dead. The police found her up in Canada a couple of days ago." said Max
"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that Max. Thanks for letting me know I appreciate it." said Sandy
"Sandy that's not all. I hired a lawyer to recover Rebeccas will and apparently she left some things to you. I'm not sure what it is, but the lawyer said it's big. Huge actually. Were reading it tomorrow at my apartment and the lawyer said that is very neccesary that you attend. I suggest you bring your wife because Mr. Waldorf said it would concern her also.
"uhh yeah ok well be there." said Sandy
"Good. I look forwrd to seeing you. I'm in the aprtments across from the Pier, third building on the left, 18A." said Max
"Ok. Hey Max you ok?" asked Sandy
"Me? Oh I'm fine. Just a litte dissapointed that i never got to say goodbye. I'm sure you feel the same way." said Max.
"I'll see you tomorrow Max." said Sandy
"Goodbye Sandy"said Max as he hung up the phone Sandy sat down at the kitchen table taking it all in. Dead. She was dead. Max had said that he was dissapointed that he never got the chance to say goodbye. The truth was that Sandy hadn't though about Rebecca in over 15 years. His feelings for her dissapeared when she did. She claimed to have love him, but he couldn't imagine running away from someone that you supposedly loved so much. The minute that Rebecca left and he moved on he knew that he didn't love her anymore. He didn't think he ever loved her, not the way he loves Kirsten. he couldn't imagine a life without Kirsten. He wouldn't have a life. No Seth no Ryan. Sandy knew that he and Kirsten had to go. It was obviously something big or Max wouldn't have bothered to call him. Sandy got up from the kitchen table and went to go look for Kirsten.
Sandy walked into the living room and saw Seth Summer Ryan and Marissa sitting on the couch playing video games. Well Marissa and Summer attempting to play video games,but no Kirsten. Sandy walked to their room and saw that Kirsten was in the bathroom doing something weird to her face. He was amazed at what went on in that bathroom.
"Hey'' said Sandy
"Hey. So who was on the phone? Was it that guy complaining about his neighbors hedges again? god the people here are so weird sometimes." said Kirsten as she washed her hands and left the bathroom to get her pajamas.
"No actually it was uh Max my old professor at Berkely." said Sandy
"Oh. You mean Rebcca Blooms father." said Kirsten
"You could say that" said Sandy
"Sandy. What's going on?" asked Kirsten
"What do you mean?"asked Sandy
"Sandy." said Kirsten
"Ok so it turns out that the police found Rebecca up in Canada." said Sandy
"He doesn't want you to be her lawyer does he? Because that would be a little strange.And awkard. And probably a million othher adjectives that I'm to tired to even think about right now, so whatever you have to say just say it." said Kirsten who was upset and was starting to ramble.
Sany went over to Kirsten and noticed that she was about to get really upset really fast. He took Kirsten's hands in his trying to calm her down.
"Even if I wanted to be Rebecca's lawyer, I can't. You didn't let me finish. Rebecca's dead. The police found her dead when they figured out where she was and I guess they were going to arrest her." said Sandy
"Oh.I'm sorry I shouldn't have jumped to conclusoins like that."said Kirsten looking down at the floor embarassed.
"Don't be sorry it's not your fault. Look, I love you more than anything ok? I understand that you think that Rebecca was the love of my life,but she wasn't. The love of my life is standing right in front of me ok?Please don't ever doubt that." said Sandy as he pulled her into a hug
"Ok" mumbled Kirsten into Sandy chest
"There's more actually." said Sandy
"I think I need to sit down." said Kirsten as she sat on the end of the bed
Sandy came over and sat next to her thinking about how he was going to say this. She probably wouldn't take it well, but it was obviously important.
"Ok so Max hired a lawyer to recover Rebecca's will. They are reading it tomorrow morning and Max said that the lawyer felt that it would be neccesary for both of us to go. Apparently she left something for me or both of us I'm not really sure what it is, but Max said it was extremely important that we be present." said Sandy
"Ok" said Kirsten
"Ok? Thats all you have to say? No questions? Just OK?" said Sandy
"Well what exactly to you want me to say to you Sandy? Your ex girlfriend or fiancee or whatever the hell she was turns up in Canada and the first thing her father does is call you. You say you haven't spoken to her since she left, but they call you and tell you that there is something in her will and you should be present at the reading of it. What does that look like to you? Because to me it is not looking great and I hope to god that I am wrong, but in the back of my mind i have this little voice telling me that you have been lying to me for the past 15 years and I just need you to tell me that I'm wrong." said Kirsten
"First of all you are wrong. Second of all you are completely crazy for even thinking that, and third of all they don't just want me there. The lawyer said it was necessary for both of us as in you and me to be there. Kirsten I told you this once and I'm going to keep on telling you until it gets into that pretty little head of yours. I love you. You. Not her. I don't think I ever loved her. Not the way I love you, and I just need you to belive me on that. Now I don't know about you, but I'm pretty tired after all this talk. I say we go to sleep and talk about in the morning ok?" asked Sandy
"Yeah ok"
Sandy climbed into to bed and Kirsten followed hesitantly. She didn't know what to do about this whole thing. She knew that Sandy loved her. She did really, but there was always this voice in the back of her head saying what could have happened if Rebecca hadn't have left. Would she and Sandy be married. She would like to think they would, but she knows that they porbably wouldn't haev even met. There would be no Seth no Ryan. No Sandy. She couldn't deal with a life like that. Kirsten pushed all of these thoughts out of her head when she noticed Sandys arm draping across hers. He took her hand in his and whispered I love you. She fell asleep at those comforting words, but knew the pain that would come when the sun rose the next day.
COHEN LIVING ROOM
"Hey Cohen whos Rebecca Bloom?" asked Summer
"I have no idea why?" asked Seth trying to concentrate on his and Ryans ninja battle
"Well when I was in the bathroom across from your paretns I heard them say her name, and then your dad said she was dead. I though she was a family member or something." said Summer
"Well I've never heard that name before, but you can ask my mom tomorow if you want. Now If you will please stop distracting me I can give my full attention to kicking Ryan's ass." said Seth
"Well we all know that's never going to happen. C'mon Coop we should go." said Summer
"Yeah uh later" said Seth as he was focusing on his game
"Yeah see ya tomorow" said Ryan not really paying any attention
"Whatever. C'mon Coop we are abviously not as important as ninjas or pirates or whatever the hell theyre doing." said Summer as she and Marissa headed for the front door.
Once they were gone Seth asked the question Ryan automatically knew was coming.
"So who do you think Rebecca Bloom is?"asked Seth clearly intrigued in his question
"I don't know probably someone from college if youv'e never heard of her. " said Ryan
"Dude why did you kill me?! I wasn't paying attention!" said Seth
"Well whose fault is that? And don't say Summer's just because she brought up equestion in the first place." said Ryan
"Damn. You know me a little too much for my liking. Seriously dude it's kinda creepy." said Seth
"Whatever man. I'm going to bed." said Ryan as he left Seth with just his thoughts to entertain himself.
That's when it hit him. He remembered listening in on a fight between Kirsten and the Nana a couple years back (they were always the best fights to listen too). The Nana had just told Kirsten that she would never be like Rebecca and that she didn't desreve someone like Sandy. That was the first time he had ever seen his mom cry. Not once had he ever seen her shed a tear, but at the mention of Rebecca's name it was like Noahs arc all over again. Rebecca must have been his dad's girlfrined before he met his mom. It was hard to picture his dad with anyone else but his mom. They were just so...married. Although most married people didn't makeout in the kitchen. Gross. Seth deicded just to go to bed not knowing what was coming when the sun rose the next morning.
NEXT MORNING COHENS KITCHEN
Sandy and Kirsten just sat at the table in silence taking everything in. If they were going to go to the reading of the will they would have to leave in an hour and a half. Or they could forget it ever happened and continue on with their lives. Neither of them knew what to do so there they sat. At the kitchen table, eating a bagel in complete silence.
Sandy didn't know what to do. If he went to the reading, it might seem like he was trying to hold on to Rebecca. If he didn't go, he would probably wonder what she left for him for the rest of his life. He was in a lose lose situation pretty much. He decided just to leave it up to Kirsten. Let her decide.
Kirsten knew what he was doing. He was leting her decide. Tha's just the way he is. Everything is her choice and she gets the first say in everything. That was usually a good thing. She liked making decisions. She liked to think she was good at it. Maybe that's why he was letting her decide. She always made a good choice, and when Sandy couldn't decide it was up to Kirsten. In the back of her mind Kirsten knew what she had to do. She didn't want to admit it but she knew. Just like she knew that Sandy loved her. Sandy loves you just remeber that she told herself. Kirstem got up from the kitchen table, washed off her and Sandy's plate and then put it in the dishwasher.
"I'm going to get dressed. We should probably leavE in an hour or so." said Kirsten
Sandy stood there watching her in amazement as she said those words. Words he knew were the right ones, but he just couldn't bring himself to say them. How could someone be so selfless he thought? The both knew that Rebecca was a sore subject. How could she not be? But there was one thing that they knew was more important. He loved her. She loved him. That's just the way it is. Sometimes you have to do something even though neither of you are really sure you want to. Sometimes you just had to have some faith. That was what would get them throught this, and they would get through it. They both knew that.
