Well Growing up with the Cohen seems to be winning so far. So I'll get a head start! Enjoy! And remember, this story starts off right before baby #1 was born, and throughout the chapters the kids will get older. Think of The Cohens like a brief summary of their lives, and this is the actual story. Maybe one chapter to a child, etc.
You don't need to have read The Cohens to understand this story since it basically takes it from the beginning. So if you wanna be surprised then there is no need.
On with the show!
"Cohen I can't do this." A very pregnant Summer Roberts began to hyperventilate as her boyfriend eased her into a sitting position on his bed.
At almost 9 months pregnant, Summer knew that she was going to pop any day. And frankly, she was nervous. When she had first found out she was pregnant it didn't seem like that big of a deal. Sure, your stomach gets a little bigger, you wait 9 months and bam, you've got yourself a kid. But now, now it was getting closer, and Summer had much more education on the process of childbirth. What was so miraculous about it was a mystery to her. From the videotapes she had watched and books read it seemed pretty damn disgusting. But that's what you got for getting knocked up at age 17.
Seth got on his knees behind Summer and began to rub her shoulders. "Hey, baby shh, it's okay! You can do this. Deep breaths, come on."
Summer shook her head and closed her eyes. "No, no I can't! I don't want to Cohen, I'm scared! What if it hates me? What if I'm a bad mom? What if—"
Seth cut her off with a soft kiss on the lips. "No 'what ifs'. This kid is going to love you and we are going to be the best god damn parents ever."
She had to smile. Seth was just so cute when he tried to be all macho when proving a point. She turned around to face him and draped her arms around his neck. "Why do you have to be so damn cute all the time?"
"Eh I try." Seth gave a nonchalant shrug with a cocky grin plastered across his face.
"So," Summer began, arms still circled around Seth, fingers twirling in his hair, "We still have to pick out names."
Seth raised a finger to just under his mouth as he thought. "Hmm… I've been thinking, and have come up with 2 great boys and girls' names."
"Okay shoot."
"Okay. Well, if it's a girl, Macy. And if it's a boy, Kai." Seth gave a cocky grin and crossed his arms, looking very pleased with his original choices.
Summer seemed to have other thoughts. "Okay Macy is… whatever but Kai? Who would name their kid Kai? It sounds like some yellow, tropical fish with blue stripes down the side. God Cohen, you suck at name picking."
Seth looked shocked and hurt that his wonderful names were not approved by his girlfriend. "Are you serious? And by the way I said Kai, not Flounder. It is a beautiful name! It means the sea in Hawaiian."
Summer scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Great Cohen, our kid will be named after a body of water. Lucky child."
"Fine, what did you choose then?" Seth asked bitterly, clearly unhappy that Macy and Kai had been vetoed from the baby name list.
"Alright," Summer grinned "For a boy, Aden, and for a girl, Kaelyn. Aren't those pretty?"
Seth looked disgusted. "Aden? You want to name our child Aden?"
"What it's better than Kai! And it actually means something much better than the sea. Aden means the handsome one." Summer stated proudly, lying back on Seth's bed.
"Ooh, that handsome one, yes we simply must name our kid Aden just for that purpose."
"Fine, what do you think of Kaelyn?" Summer reasoned, at least wanting one of her names to get picked.
Seth thought for a moment before nodding his head from side to side. "Yeah, I kind of like Kaelyn. It's pretty."
Summer gave a squeal of excitement. They had a daughter's name picked out. Now all they needed was a boy name and they'd be all set.
"So now all we need is a name for a boy." Seth said after the excitement of choosing Kaelyn had died down.
Summer shrugged a closed her eyes. "Nah, I have a feeling it'll be a girl anyways. My motherly senses are telling me so."
Seth bit his lip to keep from laughing. Both he and Summer had decided early on that they would wait to find out the sex of the baby.
"Alright Sum. I'm going to go to class. I'll be home soon, you gonna be okay?" Seth asked, slinging his backpack across his chest.
Summer nodded and gave him, a quick peck on the lips. She was glad that Seth had decided on staying in school. God knows one of them would need to have an education to support themselves and a child. She breathed in deeply and fell asleep, not knowing what would happen when she next woke up.
------------------
Summer awoke to sharp pains in her belly. She immediately sat up and realized that the bed beneath her was wet. He water must have broken, she was in labour! Leaning over to look at the clock Summer realized that she had been asleep for 4 hours.
"Kirsten? You home?" Summer waddled out of Seth's room and tried to make her way down the stairs.
No answer.
Shit!
Summer grabbed her cell and called Seth, he had better have his cell on.
Ring, ring.
Yes! It was on. 'Come on Cohen, pick up!' Summer thought to herself, having her own rage blackout inside her head.
A voice that Summer couldn't identify answered the phone. "Hello? Wanting to speak To Mr. Cohen are we?"
Oh shit, she had gotten Seth into trouble. That must have been Mr. Matthews, his English teacher. "Umm, yeah can I talk to him, please, it's an emergency."
"Oh is it?" The voice mocked, "Well then, I'll be sure to tell Mr. Cohen to call you back, AFTER CLASS!"
The phone went dead as Mr. Matthews hung up.
"Asshole!" Now Summer was pissed, and in pain. She started to feel a sharp jab of pain on her right side and sat down right there on their on the stairs, clutching her rounded stomach.
Okay, one more call she could do it.
"Newport Group, Kirsten speaking, how may I help you?" Kirsten answered in her cheery work voice.
"Kirsten," Summer panted out, "Kirsten I'm in labour, no one's home, Seth can't get to the phone—"
"Wow, wow Summer" Kirsten said in a calming voice, "Take it easy, I'll be there in 5 minutes, take deep breaths, you can do it."
Summer nodded to no one and hung up the phone. Of course she could do it. She was Summer Roberts, and Summer Roberts could handle just about anything… and then another contraction began.
------------------
There was a knock at the door of classroom D, and Mr. Matthews stood up from his chair and walked over to answer it.
Dean Kim stepped forewords and motioned for Seth to follow her out. Ignoring the 'ooh's' Seth grabbed his books and followed her out of the classroom.
"Mr. Cohen, not to alarm you or anything but we have just received a call from your mother, apparently Summer Roberts, the girl you impregnated," which Dr. Kim said in an obviously disapproving voice, "is in labour. They have asked you to get down to the hospital as soon as possible."
Seth's eyes widened.
Oh fuck. He was 17; he couldn't be a dad already. Holy shit. What a hypocrite he was being. Just a few hours ago he was in his rooming comforting Summer about how they were going to be fabulous parents, and how they were ready for this. Yeah, okay, so much for that. Now Seth was just as nervous and freaked out as Summer had been. But fuck it. Summer needed him now so he was going to get to her.
"Th…thanks," Seth managed as he bolted our of Harbour and hopped into the Range Rover. Deep breaths.
------------------
Summer lay in her hospital bed now dressed in a very hideously pattered hospital gown with Kirsten by her side, clutching her hand.
"Where the fuck is Cohen?" Summer whined as she felt another contraction coming. They had been growing awfully close and she was worried that Cohen was going to miss the birth of their baby.
Kirsten gave Summer a sympathetic look. "I called Dr. Kim (A/N- is it Dean Kim or Dr. Kim? Lol) and told her to notify Seth. I'm sure he's on his way sweetie.
"Well he better hurry… the… fuck… u-up." Summer squeezed Kirsten's hand even tighter and clenched her legs together, as him she were telling the baby to stay the fuck up her vagina until Cohen came.
The nurse came in and did a check on Summer. "Well, you're 10 centimeters, looks like your ready to be moved to the delivery room." She smiled before walking out of the room, and coming back, pushing forwards none other than Seth! He was looking extremely pale and his hair was stuck up at odd ends.
"This one's a little nervous, might need some words of wisdom." The nurse joked, pointing to Seth.
Summer, however, didn't seem to find it so funny. "Where the hell were you Cohen?"
Seth gave a weak shrug. "Sorry Sum."
"Sorry Sum? That's what I get? I'm delivering a fucking baby in a few minutes and all you can say is sorry Sum?"
"Deep breaths hunny," Kirsten poked her head in, trying not to interfere.
Thinking that Kirsten was asking him, Seth took a few deep breaths and smiled at Summer. "Let's do this."
------------------
An hour and a bit later Seth came smiling out of the delivery room, surprised to see Ryan, Marissa, Sandy and Julie all waiting.
"Well?" Julie asked, annoyed that Seth was taking so long so spit it out.
"We have a boy!" Seth declared, raising his arms in the air. "Jake Sandy Cohen."
So much for Kaelyn!
Okay well I don't know how you enjoyed that. Don't worry, not every chapter will be a birthing section. Most will be growing up with the children.
