Just Like Asthma
Stories of Seth, Ryan and Sophie through the eyes of the parents that love them
AN: Right now, I'm trying to get my college stuff finished and I don't really have time to sit down and write fic. I had this little drabble for awhile and just decided to add it, but I promise the real fic will resume once I get everything settled.
This one is short, I wrote it differently and its kind of rough, but there's another chapter coming up if this one isn't to your liking.
- Just to avoid confusion, Seth is progressing in age throughout this piece.

"Dad. You know what'd I'd really like? A boat"
"Could you knock?"
"You don't think I'm weird, do you?"
"Do we have to have another meeting with the Dean's not going to stop them"

"Who's Ryan?"
"So he really steals cars?"
"You're not gonna let Mom throw him out, are you?"
"He can stay? Seriously?"
"What happened to the Range Rover, you ask? Well…"
"Dad? Can you pick us up? We're kind of in Mexico…
"Ryan's going to Harbor with me, right Dad?"
"Did you know Ryan used to do musicals?"
"How do I choose between Summer and Anna?"
"Can you believe Ryan's never heard of Chrismukah, Dad?"
"Where's Ryan? I need to talk to him"
"Do you think Ryan'll forgive me for not having his back with Oliver?"
"Did Summer call for me?"
"Can Ryan and I stay out until 12:00? Ok, How about 1:00?"

"How did you get this number?"
"Did Mr. Ward call you?"
"How can you ask me why I left?"
"Don't you get it? I can't stay there"
"Do you know how hard it was for me to just leave you and Mom and Summer?"
"Is Ryan coming back?"
"How am I being irrational Dad? I've been saying this for years"
"Will you just listen?!"
Angsty Seth. I just realized that wasn't really from Sandy's pov, but I guess you could argue that it was if Seth was talking to him. Oh, well.
