I just want to say thank you ever so much for the kind words and advice from the reviewers! I hope you like my story enough to carry on reading even if you don't some of the ideas!

Heres another, set a couple of months later!

Dedicated to Adam Brody - one thought and I can get through my physics lessons :)

The months past, and in two weeks the teens were getting ready to go off to the respective colleges. But before they were leaving Sandy was taking the boys for a 'Pre-College Man weekend' taking his sons to Palm Springs, to have one weekend before they were with the girls permanently. Kirsten was also going to take the girls to the spa and make a fuss of them before they both left. Ryan and Marissa were going to leave a little bit later for UCLA, seeing as it was only a short while away, instead of moving across the country like Seth and Summer. They now had a plan and vaguely knew what they were going to do when they finally got to Los Angeles. Kirsten had made some phone calls for Ryan and 4 days a week he was going to be in school studying architecture and the other one he was going to be doing some work for the Newport Group on one of their surviving offices, Marissa was going to be taking online courses and had already done a few photo shoot, not that modelling would be her career, even though she had gotten really good reports from it, and it was a whole page spread and something she could do to contribute. Ryan and Marissa were both happy with him working, happy that he would be providing for his family in the way that he could, with still going to school and getting his degree too. Now she was 8months pregnant and they were both proud of it.

When Jimmy had found out that they were pregnant, he insist that he let them help, even though Marissa was certain that she wanted to do this by herself, Jimmy would be giving them some money every month, for essentials for the baby, seeing that he won't be around due to his years away on his boat. He also liked to think that one of Marissa's parents would be there for them and the baby.

Julie however was a different story, she had not shouted at Marissa, but at Ryan she had offered him money to go away and convince Marissa to get an abortion, but the love that both of them had for each other had overcome Julie's ways and she succumbed finally deciding to not be like her mother, who was not there for her when she become pregnant, and help Marissa through this, but after one last attempt to make her get an abortion, Marissa gave up, she would never get on with her mother.

"Ok so don't have too much fun this weekend" Marissa said as they got out of the range rover, and were getting all of their kissing out of the way so Seth wouldn't moan about 'scaring his eyes'. However Marissa's ever growing belly was getting in the way of that. Her fingers were running through his hair and he pulled her as close as he could.

"I highly doubt that I will have any fun at all, I mean its golf, and things like that, If it was Vegas then it would be different, with all the strippers and things." He joked as she leaned into kiss him, he put his hand on her stomach and he felt the baby move,

"And think of it this way, when I get home, we get to move in together for good and not just the pool-house I mean our own home! And then soon the baby will be here" they kissed again, soon it leading further only to be stopped by Seth who was making gagging noises at the door.

"Come on guys! Ryan's only going to be gone for a few days! Come on buddy! If we leave now it will be happy hour when we get there! Summer will look after Marissa and Baby Seth Atwood! Get in the car!"Marissa gave Ryan one last kiss, and let him go, with a sad look on her face she held her tummy as he got dragged away by Seth.

"I've told you before, the baby isn't going to be called Seth even if it is a boy!"

"Bye Riss I love you" he said from the car. She waved them off with Summer and Kirsten and then headed back inside. Without Ryan by her side it was going to be a long 4 days.

After an afternoon of shopping for baby clothes and for themselves, all three girls returned to the Cohen house.

Then in the afternoon they all laid out by the pool, Marissa becoming more embarrassed about going to the beach in a bikini because of other people. Then later that night, when their day had finished Marissa and Summer were getting ready to go out together whilst Kirsten and Julie were going to the Yacht Club.

"Come on Coop!" Summer said knocking on the door, she heard some rustling and then light sobs.

"Not now Sum!" She choked out. Summer opened the door, to find Marissa sitting at the foot of the bed and crying,

"O Coop what's the matter" Summer asked worriedly as she sat down beside her best friend

"It's just I am so fat, and usually when I get like this, Ryan comes in, kisses my belly and says I am more beautiful than the day I met him, but he's not here and I am fat and ugly and people are going to look at me and think that I am a complete whore!!!!!" She leant her head on Summer's shoulder and began to cry

"And I swear to god Summer, If you say that I'm not fat but pregnant then I am going to hide your Juicy Sweat suits or something really bad!!" Marissa threatened her

"O honey even with the pregnancy hormones, you aren't a bitch, we need to work on that! I tell you what, I will call Ryan and he can tell you over the phone so we can then go out! We haven't had a girls night in forever and pregnant or not, me and my best friend are going to go on that dance floor at the bait shop tonight!" Marissa nodded and began to sniffle as Summer reached out her cell from her bag.

"Its ringing" she informed her. Marissa's face had even changed at the thought of talking to Ryan

"Hello?" Ryan shouted into the phone, his hands against his ear, trying to hear over the music.

"Ryan" Summer asked, suspiciously hearing all of the screaming and whooping on the other end

"Um Summer Hey" He said nervously sending Seth a look to say that his girlfriend was on the phone.

"Why are you acting funny? What is Seth doing and tell me because I know that you aren't playing golf at right now, why did I even believe that story?" Summer asked herself stupidly,

"Erm?" Summer could hear the phone being passed around

"Dude it's Summer," Seth picked up the phone to Summer who was angrily tapping her foot against the floor waiting for his answers

"Summer! Look I can explain, My Dad took us to a club! But we hate it, its karaoke and he's next up, he has consumed a lot of beer, we were playing golf but Ryan sucked so my Dad thought this would be fun but its not and Ryan is sitting her depressed because for one, he isn't with Marissa and brooding over something, seriously Sum you can see the wheels turning, and secondly they don't have any Journey songs! Huh gutted Dude!"

"Ok don't care Cohen, its just that me and Marissa are about to go and hit the town, and she won't go until she talks to Ryan, so you better pass the phone over! We have some hot Spanish waiters, waiting at the door for us" she said with a smirk on his face, knowing exactly how he would react.

"You are too committed to your jokes against me Summy! I know you wouldn't look at another man, not while you have me! I love you and stay out of trouble, here's Ryan"

"Bye, O hi Ryan, Here's Coop" Summer handed the phone over,

"Hello Ryan" Marissa said into the phone, just hoping that hearing his voice will make her and the baby feel better .

"I know that I have nothing to get upset about, its just that I miss you and I haven't felt to good all day, and the baby has been kicking really bad today probably because they miss you, I know┘..I love you too!Have fun!..Bye" Marissa sighed as she put down the phone,

"Thanks Sum," Marissa said appreciatively to her best friend

"The pregnancy has made me really moody, and dependable, but we are going to get over that fact and go out! I haven't actually been out in months, and this may be the last time before college and me becoming a Mom! So I'm thinking that new club downtown. If the boys are in a club - even if it is karaoke, then we are going to have fun! Now let me just find something to wear that doesn't make me look pregnant"

Within 20 minutes Summer and Marissa were both ready to go out. Marissa had already told Summer that her being pregnant, was restricting her from doing so many things, she would not be dancing on her feet for ages at a time, and she wouldn't be drinking, not that they did when they were together usually, but sometimes Marissa would drink, and Summer couldn't stop her, but now she didn't need any restraints, not with a baby inside of her. It would of all been perfect if the baby would stop kicking and moving around.

They got past the doorman easily, went through and even got a few looks on the way in. Clearly the flowy dress that Marissa had chosen to wear had managed to convince people that she wasn't pregnant. A few hours after they had been there Marissa began to feel tired. She went and sat down while Summer went to get their mocktails. She suddenly got a shooting pain in her stomach, one like she had never had before, when Summer got back and found her best friend looking uncomfortable, she decided that after a while it might be time for them to head home.

"Coop are you going to be ok?" Summer asked concerned as she drove them back to her house. Marissa's breathing had become more and more laboured and the pains were coming faster and faster.

"Um Sum, u,mmm I think I need to go to the hospital" Marissa said gripping the side of the car so hard, turning her knuckles white. Summer immediately tried to drive faster than she already was within the speeding limit.

"What do you think is wrong Coop? Are you in labour? I, oh my god um just take deep breaths, he-ho-ho" She tired to interoperate the breathing noises from all the movies, but nothing could take all the pain away from.

"I can't be in labour, I'm only in my 8 month, I need Ryan I need Ryan" she kept asking as the tears were now flowing more freely. Summer tried to lean across to give Marissa her hand so she could take some of the pain out on her, that didn't work to well as a huge wave of pain hit Marissa, letting Summer feel a fraction of quite how painful it really is.

As soon as they got into the hospital, Marissa was whisked away by some doctors and taken into an examination room, Summer had been told to phone a parent or guardian and since both of theirs were in Europe, she phoned Kirsten. Her hands were shaky and sweating with fear that something would happen to Marissa or the baby.

"Kirsten? Its Summer" she spoke fast, trying to get Kirsten to the hospital as soon as possible

"Hey sweetie are you ok?"

"I think you need to get down to the hospital? It's Marissa and they need a parent or guardian? And she is asking for Ryan to and I don't know what to do,."

Summer was panicking and Kirsten was practically running out of the house to the car

"I will be there as soon as I can Summer, I will phone Ryan on the way, but he wont be there for a while, so you tell the doctors that I will be there soon and you go sit with Marissa, I know its scary Summer but you have to be strong"

"Okay see you soon" Summer put the phone down and immediately went to find her best friend. The doctors had lied her down on the examination bed and her stomach was already wired up to sonogram machine. Summer rushed to her bedside where Marissa was crying slightly waiting for the doctors to come back.

"Summ, what if something happens to the baby?" Marissa asked concerned. The thought that something bad could happen to the baby that her and Ryan created made her sick.

"Think positive thoughts Marissa, please, don't even go down the depressive road yet. Okay? I bet the baby just wanted to stress you out, that's what babies do Coop. I'm sure everything will be fine." Marissa nodded trying to believe Summer, but she had a feeling that she had done something wrong, and now she was paying for it.

"Have the doctors told you what is wrong? Summer queried as she looked at the clock wondering how much longer it would take Kirsten to get to them. The waiting was unbearable. There was an elephant in the room, and nothing that you could say could get rid of it. Both of the girls were silently praying that nothing would happen to the baby that they had come so close to living in the recent months.

There was a knock at the door and Kirsten entered, rushing straight to Marissa's side and hugging her, you would think that Kirsten was Marissa's mother, not Ryan's adoptive one.

"What happened sweetie? Have the doctors told you anything yet?!" Kirsten aasked adressing both of the girls as Marissa dried her eyes.

"No, but did you get hold of Ryan" she asked hopefully. Kirsten shook her head, and Marissa's eyes started to water again.

"But it's ok because I left a message with their hotel and I have left messages on all of their cells, they will be here as soon as they can" Kirsten tried to reassure her, and Marissa nodded pretending that this was all ok. Even though the two other women in the room would never believe her.

"I think I will go and see if I can find a doctor?" Summer suggested a while later as the suspense was annoying all of them.

Summer stepped out of the room, and looked around for any doctor that could give them news on Marissa.

She soon found a doctor, he was a young man in scrubs, standing over by the doctors reception desk. Summer walked over , her Christian Louboutin heels clicking under the clean hospital floor. When they had both dressed up in their dark was skinny jeans and heels (well Manolo flats for Marissa, and she is a maternity mom now, she may be skinny even while pregnant, she isn't superwoman) Summer viciously waved her hand to get attention of the doctor.

"Um yeah, like hey! My best friend is 8 months pregnant, and something's wrong and nobody will tell us what's going on, and I find you here, doing absolutely nothing, you know you may as well be listening to your Ipod with a bag of cheetos?" Summer said mid rage-blackout, completely unaware that the doctor was checking her out.

"I'm sorry I didn't catch your name?" The doctor asked giving her a smile, Summer grimaced and answered.

"Right, well I am very sorry Summer that you do not think that the hospital is sufficient enough, the only thing I can tell you on the patient in room 209 is that her tests should be back within 10 minutes someone has gone to collect them, hence why I am manning the desk, and I think I am doing a great job" he winked at Summer, she laughed to herself and he started again, she was praying that someone would rescue her from this creep,

"But you know we could have dinner and we suggest ways to improve the hospital, so its up to standards of someone as beautiful as you"

"Okay, first thank you for telling me about Coop's doctor, but second eww - Yeh I already have a boyfriend and lets face it, you're no McDreamy? So get back to your cheetos and play lists, because I really am not interested She smiled sarcastically before walking away.

"You don't know what your missing" he shouted back to her as she re-entered Marissa's room.

Kirsten and Marissa both turned to look at Summer with hopeful eyes.

"Your doctor is just coming everything is going to be ok Coop" Summer said reassuringly.

"Marissa I had a scare when I was pregnant with Seth, at seven months they took me in and I thought that I would have to deliver there and then but it was ok. The Baby likes to remind you that its still in there, that's all" Kirsten rubbed the back of her hand and Marissa took a deep breath, Summer told her to think positive otherwise her aura changes colour, and after all the drama and stress she was going through she didn't need another accomplishment to the list.

"Yeh Baby Nicholai Summer Paris Cooper Atwood wanted to give you something to worry about"

"Summer I have told you before, I am not naming my child after the Hilton sisters," Summer was always trying to convince her to name the baby after a celebrity, the Paris and Nicky names had been going for about the last 4 weeks.

"Have you thought of any names yet?" Kirsten asked her, trying to take her mind off the problem at hand. Marissa smiled and rubbed her stomach and tried to breath through the shooting pain, luckily that time it only felt like a really sharp kick, not nearly as painful as the others.

"I remember when Theresa was pregnant that time she was staying with us, and I overheard the both of them talking about what they were going to call the baby they sounded so excited about it - are you both excited?" Marissa just nodded and looked down.

"Oh my god sweetie - that was completely inappropriate of me I didn't mean to I was jus-"

"Don't worry about it, it was an easy mistake. I know this isn't his first baby, but we can't find anything we agree on, we both know we don't want something ordinary but nothing to strange either, and Ryan wants to be surprised which means we have to plan for both"

"Coop it's a girl I'm telling you - I am like psychic about this stuff, I predicted that my cousin was going to have a boy and a girl - in the right order, and I guessed it Britney Spears was pregnant with boys and I was right those times, you can just tell. Or at least I can it's a gift, Cohen thinks it's a boy, he is so loosing $60 bucks. Summer smiled,

"I wish I had a sign, I feel like a bad mom because I don't. I mean my mom new with Caitlin and she didn"t even need to be told, when she first told me she was pregnant, she told me I was getting a sister, this was at like 2 months." Marissa sighed, wishing the baby would just tell her - in its own way.

"You don't always know, I didn't know with Seth but I knew with Sophie." Both of the teens looked up at her as if asking who Sophie was.

"You girls probably don't know this, Seth was only one, but When he was a year I fell pregnant again, and I gave birth to a girl still born at 5 months. But we have both gotten over it." Summer and Marissa both had tears in their eyes, why would someone take away a child from the two of the nicest people in the world.

"O Mrs Cohen I am so sorry, We didn't know," Summer tried to apologise

"It's ok Summer, don't worry" Kirsten nodded towards her as Marissa's doctor came in, all three of them hoping it was good news.
