Chapter 4: The Moving In
Seth slowly woke up, with Summer laying half on top of him, her head snuggled into the crook of his neck. He noticed how peaceful she looked, her hair covering most of her face and her hands wrapped around him tightly. 'How did I ever get this lucky', he thought to himself before placing a kiss on top of her head and unconsciously tracing circles on the small of her back.
Summer started to stir about half an hour later. She felt Seth's warm body pressed up against hers, with their legs intertwined. His left hand alternating between tracing circles and gently rubbing her lower back. She wished she could stay like this forever and just forget about everything else. Slowly, she removed her left hand, which was wrapped around his shoulder and brushed the hair out of her face.
'Good morning sleeping beauty' Seth whispered into her ear, before gently kissing the top of her head again.
'What happened' moaned Summer into his chest
'Well first off we went to San Diego…'
'I remember that Cohen, I'm not stupid. I meant how did I get to bed'
'I carried you up, I may not be Ryan Summer, but I can still hold your weight. Although in the next few months it may start to be a little tricky'
'Hey, that's not fair Cohen, just because I'll get a little bigger and probably…..'
'Summer, whoa come on. Trust me, there'll just be more for me to love'
Summer warily looked up at him, 'you know, when people say trust me, you usually don't trust them'. A small smile then crept onto her face before she quickly added 'you better though' and kissed him softly on the lips.
Seth and Summer walked into the Cohen kitchen to find the whole family, including Taylor, standing around drinking coffee and talking. As soon as they entered the kitchen, it seemed like all attention was on them, as Taylor ran over to Summer and enveloped her into a hug.
'Summer', Taylor shrieked in a high pitched squeal, 'I haven't seen you for ages, we have so much catching up to do like……..'
Summer just stood there, looking slightly bewildered. Thinking although she should be used to Taylor's behavior by now, it was way too early for this.
'And you guys thought I could talk' joked Seth, while Taylor continued her one sided conversation with Summer.
'Taylor' Ryan said, walking over to her, 'Leave Summer alone, you talked to her two days ago'. 'We'll be in the pool house if anyone needs us' Taylor yelled back as Ryan steered her in the direction of the backyard.
'Hey kids' Sandy spoke up, between sips of his coffee
'Hey dad, mom'
'Good morning Mr. C, Mrs. C' Seth and Summer replied as Seth walked through the kitchen to get Summer and him a drink of juice. Although he knew she would want coffee, and so did he, he also knew you weren't meant to drink coffee when your pregnant. He also guessed if he drank coffee, he'd be in trouble and Summer being mad at him was not something he wanted.
'Juice' Kirsten questioned, looking from Seth, then Summer
'Yer, we're trying do lean off the coffee, they say it's not for you, ya know' replied Summer quickly, before Seth could reply. She knew what he was doing.
Kirsten and Sandy just looked at each other. They knew there was something wrong but they figured it was the same thing that they wanted to talk to them about. So Kirsten continued
'So your father and I were just discussing your college'
'Mum, Summer and I are going to Providence, end of story' Seth cut of Kirsten
'Son let your mum finish' Sandy cut in
'As I was saying Seth, your father and I were discussing your college, and accommodation, and since Ryan just asked us if he could live with Taylor…..'
'He what' Summer exclaimed
'Shhh Summer' Seth said, placing his hand over her mouth, although it was quickly knocked away
'Anyway, as I was saying, we thought you might like the same thing, that is if you want to, you don't have to if you don't want to, we just thought since Ryan and Taylor were and everything…….'
Summer realised at this moment that Seth got his rambling from Kirsten and thought it was sweet. She wondered if this baby would take after her or Seth more as her hand instinctively rested on her stomach. She wanted the baby to have Seth's smile, definitely Seth's smile, with his dimples, but she definitely wanted it to have her hair.
'Summer' Seth asked, trying to get her attention
She felt his hand slide into to hers and realized that everyone was looking at her, waiting for an answer.
'Yer um I think that would be good' she said, smiling up at Seth. She felt his arm go around her shoulders this time, and pull her into him.
'Okay well your grandfather knows some people, and will find you a small apartment near the college, and we'll pay for it all'
'No no no, mum, dad, I can get a job, and pay for it'
'Seth, we will tell you the same thing that we told Ryan. No jobs for at least the first year, and we will pay for everything until at least the end of the second year. Got it' Kirsten sternly told her son.
'Now go get outta here' Sandy told his son and Summer.
'uh yer, I just gotta pee' Summer announced ' I'll be right back' she yelled behind her as she ran upstairs and into Seth's ensuite bathroom.
All of a sudden she just felt nauseous. She expected Seth to just go into the pool house or something and wait for her, but just at that second she felt his warm hands, One holding her hair back and the other rubbing slow circles on her upper back.
'Thanks' she choked out
'Anything for you Sum. Will you be okay for the farewell party tomorrow night' Seth asked.
'Yer I'll be fine' Summer said, standing up and washing her face with cold water
'Come on then, lets go ask Ryan about this moving in thing. I love to see him squirm'
'Oh lay off Cohen' Summer said, pulling him out the door and towards the pool house.
'Hey Sum'
'Yes Cohen'
'We're moving in together'
Summer turned around mid stride and saw his smile, with his dimples. 'Yes….we…..are' she replied in between kisses. 'At least we won't have to explain this for awhile' she continued, pointing to her stomach.
'We will have to tell them eventually Sum' Seth said in a concerned voice
'Yer okay, we will, but just give me a little time okay' she said a little harshly. She noticed his face fall. 'Please' she said grabbing his hand.
'Okay' he said, starting to walk towards the pool house again. 'So what time are you coming over tomorrow for the party' he continued. He was so whipped.
'Bout 4-ish I guess, I wanna call Coop first. I haven't heard from her for ages'
Hey so this was more of a filler chapter. We'll probably have the farewell party next chapter, and the farewell of Seth and Summer to Providence. Any suggestions are more than welcome, even suggestions for baby names. Thanx.
