"Ok Seth, this whole 'drving-without-an-actual-plan' was your idea. So where you want to go?"

"Uhhh, hmmm how about Chino?"

Marissa just glared at him.

"Please tell me you're joking."

"No I'm serious. I want to move to the place where Ryan used to live and where his ex-ex-girlfriend and her deranged husband now live." Seth said, his voice dripping with immense sarcasm. "It was just the first town that popped into my mind."

"Yeah. I miss Ryan too"

"So, hey. I just realized this baby is mine"

"Wow. Great observation there"

"So...have you thought of any names for him yet?"

"Seth, I just found out the other day I was pregnant. Names are the last thing on my mind, after all that's happened. And also, I have like 6 and a half months to think of names and stuff. And how do YOU know it's a boy? It might be a girl, you know"

"Hey no son of mine is going to be a girl!"

"Seth, I'm serious. What would you do if it was a girl?"

"Well, my mom wanted a girl and when she found out she got a boy, she went into a state of a nervous breakdown in the hospital. luckily for her, she was already surrounded by enough doctors to help her so.. but don't worry, that won't happen to me. We Cohen men adjust to changes easily. At least that's what my dad always told me."

"Did that really happen to her?"

"You mean did she really have a nervous breakdown? Oh yes but don't ever bring it up in front of her. She's very sensitive about that sort of thing." Seth said. But one look into his mischievous eyes and you could tell he made the whole thing up"

"Seth, you dork!"

"What? I thought it was funny. You looked like you needed a little laugh."

Marissa just rolled her eyes.

"So, tell me. How come you always keep a joking manner when heavy things like this happen to you?"

Seth shrugged and said, "Well, I always thought it was because I was not really emotionally inept to handle this sort of thing. So I just take the situation lightly, It's my way of dealing I guess"

"Oh."

"Yep."

They kept driving until 7:00. Marissa was getting tired of driving, so Seth drove for a while. They still havent figured out where they were going to go...

"Ok we better find a place fast! or otherwise, most of the baby's money will be going towards gas cuz im almost out of gas and prices arent cheap in this area." Seth said

"Let me see the atlas. Pull over there in the mall parking lot"

"Ok. Here's the atlas. Where's a good place?"

"I don't know. Where the heck are we even at?"

"Ummm...We're near The Santa Margarita River" Seth said reading a nearby sign.

"Santa Margarita, Santa Margarita...oh! here it is!" Marissa said, scanning the atlas.

"What are we close by to?"

"We're almost in Oceanside"

"Wow! I hear it's a nice place to live in. Do you wanna see?"

"Uhh...yeah ok, let's see Oceanside!"

"Let's get a motel ok?" Seth stated,once they got into town.

"Fine by me. You're sleeping on the floor though!" Marissa felt nervous sleeping in the same bed with Seth. It woud be too awkward.

"What if there are two beds?"

Marissa thought a moment and said, "You're still sleeping on the floor!"

"Fine. Jeez, pregnant women." Seth mumbled as he got situated for sleep.

"Seth, what is that?" Marissa pointed to a blue tattered rag.

"It's my blankie. I always sleep with it."

Marissa gave him a weird look and just laid back odwn on the bed.

Once they were inside the motel room with two beds, Marissa and Seth got settled (with Seth on the floor. and the extra bed used forMarissa's clothes for the next day)and went straight to bed. Marissa couldn't sleep. She kept thinking of what everyone in Newport were up to.

OK, so I WILL write something with Ryan and the Cohen's and Summer in the next chapter! I promise!
