Our New Journey Together

Chapter 2-

"So Summer is pregnant and you guys are engaged and yet Sandy and Kirsten have no idea?" Ryan asked Seth, curious about the situation.

"Uh huh." You could tell Seth was depressed about the fight he and Summer had just had.

"Seth, man, what's wrong? I don't get it?"

"She told me the only reason she said yes was because of the baby!"

"Ouch."

"Exactly! I mean you would think she would say yes because she loves me, but no, my mistake it's because she is pregnant with my child! I mean that's like saying if you were pregnant with my child I would marry you. I mean, I love you dude but not in that way."

"Woah! First off that's disgusting, second that makes no sense and is impossible, and third, saying that is just wrong. Look, I think you are getting a little crazy about this. Maybe you misunderstood her."

"No. She clearly said that the only reason she said yes was because she is pregnant. Then a second later she said sorry and that's not what she meant, but I really think she meant it. Then she kept saying shit like, oh, we're so young and everything is happening way too quickly."

"Maybe she just needs time to let everything sink in. It is a lot. I mean, Seth, maybe she just can't handle it all. Maybe she just isn't as strong as you think she is. I think she needs time."

"How much time does she need? What, she wants to wait nine months when the baby comes? By then there won't be any time to discuss this. Does she not want this kid to have a father? Oh, wait, I forgot, that's the only reason she said yes. Can I ask you something?" Seth finally stopped rambling, allowing silence for Ryan to answer.

"Go ahead."

"Am I immature?"

"You want the truth?"

"It would help."

"I wouldn't say you are immature, but, I think sometimes you need to think about some things before you actually do it. Why?"

"Summer called me immature. I thought maybe she was wrong, but thanks for clearing it up for me. I'm going to go up to my room and do some immature things." Seth got up and slowly started walking out of the pool house.

"Seth, wait."

Seth turned. "What?" He asked coldly.

"Sit down," Once Seth was seated, he continued, "Look, I didn't say you were immature. All I said was that sometimes you just need to think things through. Maybe the reason Summer is hesitant about everything is because she thinks that you are still a little kid and you can't handle everything. Or maybe she thinks she is still a little kid, and she can't handle it. So if that is the case, you need to go over to her and talk to her. Tell her that you'll be there for her no matter what."

"You're right. She is probably freaking out right now. Thanks. I gotta go."

"Alright, no problem. Now go and make things right with her."

"Okay. And please don't tell mom and dad."

"You know you're gonna have to tell them some time."

"Yeah. But I want to do it when I'm sure about everything." Seth said referring to Summer's feelings.

"Don't worry. You guys will be fine."

"Thanks. Well, im gonna go now. Wish me luck."

"Taylor, if that's you, I'm really not in the mood to talk right now." Seth could sense from her voice that she is hurting just as much as he is.

"It's not Taylor."

"Cohen?!" She quickly ran to open the door. Her makeup was smudged all over her face, it was impossible to not notice that she was crying.

"Cohen." She then repeated, this time a little less enthusiastic.

"We need to talk. About everything."

"Yeah." She said, moving back into her room, giving him room to come in.

"I'm sorry." They both said at the same time, after a moment of awkward silence.

"You can go first." He told Summer.

"Well, I was thinking about everything. And I realized that there was something else that made me say yes. It was knowing that you are the right one for me. When I said that other stuff, I said it because I was confused and shocked about everything. I really do want to marry you because I love you. And I'm sorry that I hurt you. I had no intention of saying any of that. I just hope you can forgive me because I really didn't mean it. I was just so scared. I didn't think I could handle it all. But, then I remembered that you'll be there for me. Can you please forgive me?"

Seth gave her a sincere smile. "Of course I can forgive you. But, I have to ask you something, and you have to answer truthfully."

"What is it?"

"I really need to know if you are one-hundred percent sure you want to marry me because you love me, not because you're pregnant. And, it's okay if you say no. I will still be there for our child no matter what. But I need to know the truth."

" I thought maybe at first it was because of the baby, but thinking it over I knew it was because I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to marry you because I love you"

"I love you too. And I came here to tell you that no matter what, I'm gonna be there for you and our kid. I promise we'll get through this together."

"I know. And, Cohen?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry I called you immature before. It's just sometimes you have to think things over before you do it. You really aren't immature. You're handling this way better then I pictured you handling it."

"Well thank you." They then leaned in and kissed.

"And you know what's next?" Seth asked once they parted from their kiss.

"What?"

"Telling our parents."

"That should be fun." Summer said sarcastically.
