Disclaimer: Josh owns the OC, I don't. That's life.

Yes, I made a sequel. If i make some mistakes, just correct me, so I don't make them again.

You can try to read this without reading Really Bad Timing, but I'm not going to promise you won't get confused.

This story begins five months after Really Bad Timing and it will be a totally S/S story.

"You will bring souvenirs with you, right ?"

Marissa and Ryan nodded.

Marissa's stomach had become very big and she and Ryan still hadn't got a name for the baby.

And now they were leaving for a week to China. Yes, to China. They wanted to have one last vacantion with the two of them before the baby was coming, but they had no idea where they would spend it. Finally they had pointed to a place on the world card in the atlas without looking. China, it was going to be. Sandy and Kirsten had been eager to pay for the trip and now they were standing here at the airport.

"And take good care of Sushi," Seth said.

Marissa shook her head. She had said many times before that they weren't going to call the kid Sushi, but Seth kept naming it like that.

"Sorry, my cell phone."

Summer walked away while Kirsten was giving a big hug to Ryan.

"Hello?" Summer said into her cell phone.

No answer.

"Hello?"

Again no answer.

Did she hear someone breathing?

Summer turned her cell phone off. It was the fourth time this week someone called her without saying anything. She didn't want to think about who it was. She hadn't told anyone about the mysterious phone calls, because she just wanted to ignore them, pretend they didn't exist.

Summer walked back.

"Who was that?" Seth asked.

"No one."

Summer hugged Marissa, she was going to miss her this week.

"Could you please make Seth stop naming my baby Sushi?" Marissa asked.

Summer smiled.

"Oh yeah. I'll unlearn him that, it would be too sad if he would call his own children in the future like that, especially if they're going to be mine as well."

"You and Seth with children? I wonder how your kids would look like."

"Hm...probably bitchy geeks with messed up hair addicted to comics and prada bags...God, promise me you'll kill me if I'm having a baby from Cohen," Summer laughed.

"We should go now," Ryan said, holding Marissa's hand.

After some more hugs and waving, Ryan and Marissa finally left.

"What were you saying with Marissa about me?" Seth asked to Summer when they were walking back to the car.

"We weren't talking about you, only about your children."

"...well, that's a relief."

Seth said this with such a confused look on his face that Summer laughed, what made Seth laugh as well.

"Seth, we have to tell you something."

Seth looked at his parents who were sitting on the couch. Those words couldn't mean anything good.

"If it's about the glass photo frame..."

"No, we are...," Kirsten looked at Sandy.

"We are bankrupt," Sandy finished the sentence for her.

Seth gazed at his parents. Was this a bad joke or was this a weird way for punishing him for breaking the photo frame? It was probably neither, because they both still looked very serious.

"But that isn't possible...you both have jobs and..."

"Too be more precise Caleb is bankrupt," Sandy said to his son.

Kirsten sighed. She and Sandy had a lot of fights about this.

"He has many debts and the company is going down. And you know your mother works for Caleb, she lost her job. And now we have some debts too," Sandy continued.

"But you still work, right? You can pay those debts."

"I don't make enough money for the debts we have. I'm affraid we have to sell the house."

"Actually we are already selling the house," Kirsten corrected Sandy.

"What? How long has this been going on?"

"...some months now."

Seth was shocked that his parents had kept this a secret for so long and he hadn't even suspect a single thing. It felt like a nightmare, this couldn't be real.

"Does Ryan know?"

Sandy and Kirsten shook their heads.

"If we told him...he wouldn't go to China...that's why we didn't tell you this earlier, because we didn't want you to lie to Ryan."

"But it is okay that you were lying to me?" Seth yelled.

"Seth," Kirsten tried.

But it didn't help, Seth stormed out of the livingroom.

"It's going to be okay, he has to get used to the idea," Sandy said to comfort Kirsten.

Seth lied on his bed in his bedroom. The bedroom that wasn't going to be his bedroom anymore. The words he had heard from his parents began to sink in.

Even the thought that Julie Cooper would explode (she had already done this when she found out Marissa was pregnant) when she had heard that she married another man who was bankrupt couldn't make him smile.

Everything was going to be different now.

I know, it was a bit short, but this is a try out. Tell me if I should keep writing.

Marissa probably isn't allowed to fly now she's 6 or 7 months pregnant, but just forget that, okay?
