Chapter 4

2 weeks later

It had been two weeks since ryan had been released from hospital and there was still no change in taylor.

Ryan couldn't understand why she was still behaving this way, when he was adapting to his situation so well, he had presumed that once he started having physical therapy and was released from hospital that she would snap out of it and they would be back to normal again.

Ryan was sat in his chair, staring out of the window of seth and summers kitchen, his first cup of coffee sat steaming on the table next to him, slowly his eyes flitted to taylor in lounge, she looked like a stranger.

Luckily he was pulled from his thoughts by jamie and parker bounding down the stairs and running into the kitchen, screeching to a halt in front of him.

"we want breakfast" they demanded in unison.

Ryan chuckled, he was glad that neither of the boys had a care in the world, that they could just be children.

Ryan reached down and lifted jamie on to his lap " don't I even get a good morning first?" he asked his son.

"sorry daddy, good morning" jamie answered with a hug. Ryan lost himself, thinking of how this could of felt if scott hadn't gone off on his hostage crusade.

"morning atwood" summer sang, interrupting his and jamie's moment, " god I am so hungry" she said as she started opening and closing the cupboards.

"I'm fixing breakfast" ryan said as he put jamie down.

Jamie and parker quickly sat at the table like saints, ryan looked towards summer and started wheeling himself around the kitchen.

"ryan, you really don't have to, I can….." summer started but ryan interrupted,

"I want to, as a thank you for having us here, all of us" ryan looked longingly at the lounge where his wife still sat, she didn't even glance their way, " now sit" he said jokingly to summer, tearing himself from taylor and forcing himself around the kitchen.

"you don't have to go home, you know you can all stay here aslong as you need" summer said

Ryan looked at summer, how close they'd got over the years, he grinned at his sister in law, " hey, we'll be fine, don't worry, kelso has renovated the house, thanks to sandy and seth, its totally accessable for me now"

"its not that I'm worried about" summer said looking towards taylor's silhouetted figure in the lounge.

Ryan knew exactly how summer felt, that was the part he was dreading too, what if he couldn't cope. Ryan could feel the tension, " I'm hurt at that summer" he said clutching his chest, summer looked to him,

"I didn't mean…. ergh… you atwood are a royal pain in my ass, now fix me breakfast" she laughed and ryan laughed too, somethings just felt normal.

"seriously ryan, if you need anything, anything at all you know where we are" she added on as he went to the fridge.

Ryan nodded his head, " now, how about eggs with bacon and cheese?"

Summer scrunched her nose up and looked at the boys, who were now colouring quietly, they looked at summer and scrunched their noses up too, all of them turned back to ryan, " trade that bacon for sausage, and add two slices of toast and you gotta deal atwood"

Ryan laughed but set to work, whilst summer helped the boys do their pictures.

Once breakfast was ready, they all sat down and ate, and ryan wondered how long it would be before, he could have this proper family time with taylor and jamie in their own home.

" well atwood" summer started leaning back on her chair, rubbing circles on her huge baby bump, " that was awesome, I'm stuffed but I also need to pee"

"ewwwwwww." parker and jamie said in unison, whilst summer rose from the table.

As she stood up, her face paled,

"summer, you ok?" ryan asked concerned.

Summer looked down at the floor and then back up at ryan and the boys, "my waters just broke"

"SETH" ryan yelled, as he wheeled himself away from the table to the phone.

Seth came fumbling down the stairs and into the kitchen, "who disturbs my slumber" he said in a deep cartoon voice, that made jamie and parker laugh.

Ryan was already talking on the phone to sandy, so he pointed at summer.

Seth looked at summer and her hunched over posture, "NO,NO,NO,NO,NO, we've still got another two weeks" he yelled.

"no cohen, this baby is coming now" summer said through her teeth as another contraction ripped through her.

"but it cant not now, I really wanted to watch the star wars trilogy with the boys, they were really looking forward to it, I mean, like, so was I but now we cant…. Urgh" seth said half to himself half to summer, this was his panicking mode, just like taylor he was a rambler.

"cohen, I am so gonna kick your ass, I'm here having your baby and there you are moaning about your stupid star wars films,…. I swear to god, if I wasn't in so much pain right now, I would totally go kid chino ON YOUR ASS" she yelled as another contratcion took.

"breath summer, deep breaths" ryan soothed, " seth, sandy's on his way, he's going to drive you both to the hospital, I'm going to stay and look after taylor and the boys".

Summer was breathing as instructed by ryan, when he turned to her, " have you got a bag ready yet?" geez when did ryan become so responsible and good in crisis.

Summer nodded "the red bag in the end closet" she said breathlessly, the contractions where coming regulary and quickly, this baby was coming and fast.

Ryan turned to seth, who was also breathing deeply " seth red bag, end closet- go" ryan barked.

Seth looked startled but left the room and ran upstairs, he entered a few seconds later holding the bag. Ryan was holding summers hand and summer was breathing through yet another contraction, sending seth into another frenzy of panic, this was really happening again, he was going to be a father for the second time, oh my god.

He sank to the chair next to where summer stood," have I got time for a coffee, I really could do with a mocha latte, extra foam and cinamen, but I'll settle for a regualr coffee," he rambled

"COHEN" Summer screamed, seth took her hand, which she squeezed immediately so hard, that seth was forced from the chair and onto his knees,

" ow that really hurt summer" he said when she let go of his hand, " I think you broke it" he said as he rubbed it to get the feeling in it again,

"oh, believe me, I am going to break a hell of a lot more than that if your don't stop going on about, damn stupid stuff…" she screamed again.

Finally sandy arrived and took them to the hospital, ryan could still hear summer yelling at seth from the end of the street.

After the house had settled down and ryan had made sure that the boys were busy, he headed to the lounge, where taylor hadn't even moved, her best friend had just gone into agonising labour in the very next room and taylor hadn't even come to help, ryan wondered if they could ever be ok again, happy again, normal again,?

A/N so what did you think? Read and review.

I have just got to say the first story was easy to write as some parts where drawn from my own personal experiences, apart from ryan atwood or any knight in shining armour. This sequel is hard, I don't know anything medically wise, I don't know anyone in a wheelchair or anyone that had been or is is a catatonic state. So please consider this when reading my story,

And if tcsportsmed7 and Emily what to help or offer bits like they have been doing then please do….

And a shout out to AnnaWhite83 thank you for your lovely reviews, its people like you that make me want to write.
