It had been 8 months since Ryan had left Marissa. He now lived in LA and had made a life for himself being a architect. He was rich, good looking and...well rich, woman were all over him and he didn't complain once. He had a great, stable life but every once in a while his mind slipped back to a certain blonde, that blonde being Marissa Cooper – the love of his life.
Marissa Cooper was nearly 9 months pregnant, her ex boyfriend Ryan Atwood had left her 8 months earlier and she was still miserable to this day. She had seen him in the news a few times and in a couple of magazines. He had made a life for himself in LA while she was stuck in Newport with no father figure for her child.
"Coop" Summer said pouring herself a coffee.
"Yeah" Marissa said with her mind still on Ryan.
"I was flicking through a magazine at the grocery store and came across this" Summer said holding up a page in a magazine.
A picture of Ryan graced the page with a huge three page interview of him. "Wow" Marissa remarked.
"I know but listen to this..." Summer said about to read something from the article of him.
"Uhhhhh...wait a sec, oh here it is" Summer said finding what she was looking for.
"Ok Coop so this is the question, 'So Ryan, you have definitely made a great lifestyle here in Los Angeles, but do you have any regrets?' and Ryan said, 'uh yeah actually, I had a girlfriend back home in Newport Beach which I left while she was pregnant' and then the interviewer said 'Why did you do that?' and Ryan said, 'the baby wasn't mine and I sort of just lost it' See Coop, he's sorry!" Summer said.
"I don't know Sum, he didnt say he wanted to get back together or anything" Marissa said doubtfully.
"Read between the lines Coop, a guy like Ryan doesnt say in an interview with one of the most popular magazines in the world that his one regret is leaving his ex. Especially when they have just been named the 2nd most eligible bachelor in America." Summer said convincingly.
Marissa thought about this for a moment.
"Cohen and I are going to LA in a couple of days for Ryan's birthday" Summer said. "Oh my god, yes Ryan's birthday, this is perfect" Summer continued.
"How is it perfect?" Marissa asked.
"Well, you come with us and you can like wait in his house for him to come home or something then you can seduce him..." Summer said thinking about a plan.
"Ew, Summer I am not doing that when I am like...this" Marissa said pointing to the huge bump on her tummy.
"Whatever then, but your still coming with us" Summer said handing Marissa the magazine.
Marissa looked at the picture of Ryan and sighed.

The next day Ryan was walking out to his car after work. He arrived home and got a beer out of the fridge and sat down on his couch to watch TV.
Ryan's cell phone rang. "Hello" Ryan said. "Hey Atwood, Seth and I are almost there " Summer said.
"Oh ok, i'll see you guys later then" Ryan said.
"Bye" Summer said hanging up her phone.
Ryan got up and changed into a polo shirt and jeans, he fired up the BBQ and waited for them to arrive.
The door bell rang and Ryan went inside to answer it. "Hey guys" Ryan said looking at Seth and Summer.
"Happy Birthday Ryan" Seth said. "Happy Birthday" Summer said pecking his cheek.
Then Ryan noticed a nervous blonde standing behind them, it was the nervous blonde.
"Marissa?" Ryan asked.
"Happy Birthday" Marissa squeeked.
"Oh my god" Ryan said in shock looking at her bump.
"Yeah" Marissa said a little uncomfortable but happy.
"I've missed you" Ryan said hugging her but not really succeeding.
They both laughed. "Im so sorry about everything that's happened between us" Ryan said sincerely.
"Ry you don't need to apologise, It's my fault" Marissa said.
They both realised Seth and Summer were inside watching TV.
"Come in" Ryan said.
"Thanks" Marissa said.
"Nice bachelor pad" Marissa said smiling.
Ryan smiled back but didn't respond.
"Took you guys long enough" Seth said getting himself a beer.
Neither Ryan or Marissa said anything.
A few hours later...
"Where's Coop, she's been in the bathroom for a while" Seth said.
Ryan and Summer looked at him.
"Honey don't ever call her Coop, like, ever agin, it sounds weird when you say it" Summer said.
"Ok then where's Marissa?" Seth asked.
"Coop?" Summer yelled scaring Seth.
No one answered. "I'll go check on her" Summer said going upstairs.
"Coop, sweetie?" Summer asked.
"Summer" Marissa said.
Summer opened the bathroom door and saw Marissa sitting on the ground sweating and breathing heavily.
"Oh crap" Summer said. "Call an ambulance, Coop's in labor" Summer yelled.
"It's ok Riss sweetie" Summer said wetting a flannel and placing it on her head.

Marissa was laying in a hospital bed with a little girl in her arm. Her and Summer were crying from happiness and Ryan and Seth were getting uncomfortable so they decided to go out for a while.
Seth was asleep in the car when Ryan popped into a jewlery store and bought a ring.
Meanwhile...
"What are you going to name her?" Summer asked smiling while sobbing.
"I don't know" Marissa said doing the same thing as Summer.
"Well, if your last name wasnt Cooper i'd suggest 'Coop'" Summer and Marissa laughed.
Meanwhile...
"Dude, wake up" Ryan said to Seth. Seth didn't budge. "Summer and I just had sex" Ryan said teasing Seth. He woke up faster than that.
"I'm kidding" Ryan said after Seth gave him a death stare.
"I think i'm going to ask Marissa to Marry me" Ryan said showing Seth the ring.
"Woah dude, congrats" Seth said hugging Ryan.
Ryan and Seth arrived at the hospital and went into Marissa's room.
"Can we have a moment alone" Ryan asked Summer and Seth.
"Yeah" Summer said confused.
Ryan sat down next to Marissa. "Marissa, when you showed up today it made me realise something, I love you. And I know the baby isn't mine but that doesnt change the fact that I want to love and take care of the both of you for the rest of my life. Marissa Cooper. Will you marry me?" Ryan asked.
Marissa started crying. "Yes" Marissa almost yelled. Ryan kissed her and as he started to lean back she pulled him close, "The baby's yours" She whispered. Ryan smiled, "How?" He asked. "I took a DNA test" Marissa said. She handed Ryan the baby and he held back tears.
Seth and Summer came bursting in and the first thing Summer saw was the ring.
"COOP!" Summer yelled. "Congratulations you guys" Seth said.
The nurse came in. "Have you decided on a name" She asked.
Ryan and Marissa looked at each other, then Seth and Summer. "Coop, Coop Atwood" Marissa said smiling.
THE END!!!!!!!!!!
