This is the Sequal to "Now and Forever". I'm getting a lot of updating done today cause I have the whole afternoon for a change to do nothing, so I'm working on my fics! Plus I'm just in the mood to write :). So you guys are LUCKY today! But yeah, those that haven't read "Now and Forever" Should cause it'll make more sense.

And I'm going to have Ryan be with Marissa but Summer's going to find someone too. Someone's who remindes her of Cohen but still pretty different, different in a good way :). I didn't want her to date anyone while she was pregnant but come on, in reality she'll be needing to move on. It wouldn't be healthy for her to constantly pine for Cohen so she's going to find someone too :).

Charlie, Hope, and Billy are 2 and a half years old.

Ryan and Summer and moved into the same house near Berkly College so both of them could be near Charlie. Marissa was the one who suggested the idea so Sum didn't have to commute all the way from her father's home. Ryan didn't mind, that meant he could constantly be with Charlie if he wanted too.

It was Saturday morning and they were getting ready to go out with the Cohen's for dinner that night. They had already hired two babysitters to watch the little ones. Sandy said that all of them needed a night out including Neil and Julie.

Marissa had left to return to her trip around the world but promised to keep in touch and come home for the holidays.

Ryan knelt by Charlie.

"Hey Charlie, you want to play outside?" He asked. "You want to leave that teddy bear in here and come out on this gorgouse day?"

Summer laughed as she cleaned the kitchen from last nights baby castrophe.

"You won't pry that bear off of him, it's his secerity blanket."

"Sandy said it used to be Seth's but I don't think Seth was attached to it as much as Charlie is." Ryan said as he tried to coax the bear away from Charlie.

Charlie shook his head stubboringly.

"Dada." He said speaking one of the few words he knew how to speak. Summer and Ryan looked at each other in surprisement.

"He must think your his dad." Summer smiled. "I mean you live here and are around him 24/7 so I guess it makes sense."

"No, no Charlie." Ryan shook his head. "I'm not Dada. Me Uncle Ryan." He pointed to Seth's picture. "He Dada, Me Uncle Ryan." Summmer laughed at his Tarzan like voice. Charlie just stared at Ryan.

"Dada." He insisted and Ryan sighed, annoyed.

"Maybe Uncle Ryan's too hard for him. How about RyRy?" Summer grinned causing Ryan to glare at her. "What? It would be easier for him to say."

She knelt down to Charlie.

"Honey? Sweetie? This is RyRy. Uncle RyRy." She pointed to Ryan.

"Dada!" Charlie's face lit up when she pointed to Ryan. She sighed.

"I give up, you're his Dada." She threw her hands in the air.

"I'm not sure if I like that idea." Ryan said.

"What's the harm in it? When he's older he'll know you're his Uncle Ryan. We'll tell him what happened to his dad when he's old enough to understand."

Ryan frowned, not liking taking Seth's place. But like Summer said, what's the harm?

"All right." He agreed and stood up. "For now I'm Dada."

"And now I'm taking Charlie to daycare for the afternoon so we can clean up this place and actually enjoy a Saturday afternoon."

"You sure you feel right about just leaving him at a daycare place?" Ryan asked.

"Ryan it's not like I do this everyday. I need to get used to this if he's going to start Preschool on Monday, and so does he. The DayCare Center is the same place where the Preschool classroom is. I havent' had a free afternoon since he was born. I've hardly left him alone with a babysitter. I need to start letting him go a little bit at a time. I need to get out more Ryan." Summer told him. "And know what else I noticed I needed since it was springetime?"

"What?" Ryan asked, not prepared for the answer.

"S-E-X." She spelled and his eyes widened and clapped his hands over Charlie's ears. She rolled her eyes. "Oh for God's sake Ryan, I spelled it. Unless Charlie is a child prodogy he doesn't know how to spell yet."

"Wow, uh when did you start thinking like this?" Ryan asked, a bit taken off guard.

She smiled.

"Marissa when she called." She admitted. "She finally convinced me that I'm ready."

"Shoulda known. That's something she would suggest all right." Ryan rolled his eyes now. She laughed at that.

"You didn't think I'd pine for Cohen all my life now would you?" She asked.

"What? No of course not, it was just a shock that's all. I wouldn't want you to pine for something that' not there you know that Roberts." She smiled at that.

"Good, now do you have any single friends?"

"I am NOT going to be a part of this." Ryan told her firmly, raising his hands.

"Fine." She sighed "Now make yourself useful Chino and take Charlie out to the car."

"That I can do." Ryan said and scoped up his nephew.

"Dada." Charlie giggled and Ryan sighed.

"This is going to be one long carride." He muttered.

"How are the twins?" Sandy asked Kirsten as she came downstairs.

"Fine, they're taking their naps. Maybe we should have held off those naps so they'll sleep in the evening for the babysitter."

"Yeah and be up for us." Sandy shook his head. She laughed.

"Good point." She kissed him as she went to poor herself a drink.

"Can't wait for the dinner tonight." She said. "It sounds though from Ryan they had a little bit of a catastrophe last night with the food and Charlie."

Sandy started to laugh.

"Yeah, I know." He sighed. "God can you believe how quickly he's grown? How quickly all three of them are growing?"

Kirsten smiled at that.

"I know." She said happily.

"And he's looking so much like Seth it's scary. I mean I looked at some of Seth's 2 year old photos and Charlie looks like a twin version of him." Sandy shook his head.

"I've noticed that too, it's nice though in a way." Kirsten said. Sandy smiled.

"Have I told you how much I love you and how beautiful I think you are?" He asked.

"Well not today." She scolded.

"Want to know why I really wanted this dinner?" Sandy added.

"No, why?" Kirsten frowned, curious. Sandy smiled at her curiousity.

"To make our annoucment."

"What announcement?" Kirsten asked, completly lost.

"This." He took out something in her pocket and she stared at it. It was tiny Box.

"Sandy?" She asked confused and he opened it. There was a gorgous diamoned ring. She gasped as he knelt down.

"Sandy what are you doing?" She laughed.

"Kirsten, we have been through the best of times and through the worst of times. We've been through hell and back this year and our marraige has just gotten stronger. Julie's right, we do have the srongest marraige in Newport. If anyything was to make this marraige fall apart it was our son's death but it didn't. It almost did but our love fought past our pain."

"Sandy..." Kirsten said in a stunned voice. He smiled at her.

"Kirsten Cohen, will you marry me?" She stared at him in shock. "Again?"

Okay, rather short but I think I'm entittled! Each few chapters will be tittled "The Toddler Years" and so forth and so forth and some parts of that part of the children's lives will have more then 1 part, this one will probaly have 3 parts before I move on to an older part of their lives. Am I making sense? Their teenage section is gonna have a lot of parts cause that's when all the drama's going to happen:)
