Thank you all for the reviews! I want to thank Logan (parks586). It's so fun to hear from a new reader. I definitely hope that you'll continue to read and review!

I got a question about Seth's work and what he's actually doing. See, I don't really want to reveal what he's doing. He's kind of like Chandler in 'Friends'.

This chapter will is devided into two parts. Here's the first one. With good responses I'll update within a few days.

A Heart's Desire

The surprise party : part one

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Three weeks quickly passed and suddenly it was February and Seth's 26th birthday. Seth had no 'fear' of getting older; he saw the age as something positive where you could grow as a person. And 26 was definitely not old. It was the 'perfect age', but Seth said that all the time; every birthday the new number sounded better. So, now 26 was obviously better than 25.

It was also now ten years ago that he had been allowed into Summer's life. He had gotten to know an on the outside bitchy brunette; a dream he'd had for years. Seth had been an awkward 16 years old geek and Summer had been this confident queen. They had been as different as two people could get but somehow it had worked. They had matched.

They completed each other and being so different was the reason of why they were so good together. It was also the reason of why they were fighting constantly. The two of them fought about everything and nothing but it was the fighting that brought them closer toward each other.

Since then everything had changed. During these ten years so much had altered; mostly for the better. The journey through the ten years was something that Seth never would forget though. It had been happy times and not so happy times but in its own way it had been perfect and Seth wouldn't want to change anything.

Turning 26 was absolutely not a bad thing and being married to the girl of his dreams and having a baby on its way certainly didn't make it any worse. Seth was hopeful and looked forward of changing that last number to six.

During the past week Summer had been busy planning Seth's birthday party. Being pregnant and all Seth had insisted that she recieved some help from his parents. He knew that Summer wouldr rather do it all by herself but he didn't want to risk anything and he knew that his parents would be happy to help out. Ever since Summer had told about her pregnancy they'd both been super excited calling everyday and visiting every other. Maybe everybody having their first grandchild acted like his parents did, Seth didn't know. But he decided to let them have their way knowing that Summer didn't mind the extra attention.

Seth and Summer had a long time ago decided to tell each other about their birthday parties. They still planned them separately but they had realised that surprise parties weren't for them. They appriciated the parties as much, if not more, when they knew about them. So, this party that Summer was keeping herself occupied planning together with Seth's parents and with a little help from Ryan was not a surprise party. It was way better.

Summer had decided to make this party something special even if Seth was only turning 26. It was his last birthday before the baby arrived and knowing that Seth had wanted to wait Summer didn't want him to feel like he was missing anyhting. She wanted to do something special for him to show how much she appreciated his positive adjustment when it came to the baby. She doubted that he didn't already know how much she loved him but wanting him to be aware of how much she loved and adored him, Summer was planning something big.

Seth sat by the kitchen table doing some work. As he tried to focuse and get everything done so that he could take the weekend off he noticed Summer sitting in the living room sofa. She had papers in her lap and was concentrating hard on what Seth assumed was his birthday party.

He couldn't help but smile as he watched her tucking some hair behind her right ear and watering her lips. Summer was always so focused when she wanted to be and she gave everyhting she had to make things perfect. Seth admired that about her.

As Seth had been watching her for a while she looked up and met his gaze. At that moment people might think that they would say something or sit together. And even if that was what they both wanted at the moment they remained in separate rooms knowing that they had to get what they were doing done and if they sat next to each other that wouldn't happen.

Seth was doing some work to be able to be together with Summer this weekend and Summer was working on Seth's party so this little time apart was for a good cause. They were doing this for each other. With that understanding they exchanged a smile and returned to their work.

"Cohen?" Summer called from inside the shower.

Seth, picking up some clothes in the bedroom on Summer's orders, yelled a 'yeah' in reply.

"Can you get me the new shampoo I bought?"

"Sure, hon'," Seth yelled and went straight out to the living room where Summer had dumped all her shopping bags. He still couldn't belive that she could buy all these things. Her wardrobe was by now bigger than the biggest and he couldn't even find his favourite shirt in his own closet, his closet that Summer had added more than enough of clothes into.

Summer always bought the latest of every other thing you could imagine, not just clothes. If she saw a commercial for a new frying pan, she had to buy it. The same concerned if she saw a celibrity with a certain necklace or reading about a model using a special skin cream. She always had to buy it, and there were no exceptions.

Summer definitely was a shopper.

Under at least a dozen of other bags Seth finally found the shampoo Summer had asked for.

As he walked into the bathroom and heard the water sound and blurred seeing his gorgeous wife through the glass wall Seth just couldn't give her the shampoo and disappear again. He quickly undressed without her awareness he stepped into the shower.

"Cohen!" Summer shrieked as he placed his hands on her shoulders. "God, you scared me!"

Seth innocently met her eyes and held up the shampoo. "Sorry," he tried.

Summer didn't seem to be seriously mad at him for scaring her. She gently took the shampoo bottle and placed it on the little shelf they had for soup, shampoo and hair conditioner. She then brought Seth closer to her and let him join her under the showerhead.

Leaning up closer to his face she whispered, "you're forgiven," and let their lips unite. It was kind of a shy move, kind of careful.

Summer did that sometimes; she became this vulnerable and reserved woman. But Seth loved that about her; he loved all of her sides and the fact that he now during her pregnancy was able to see them all a lot more often was not something he didn't like. On the contrary he loved that she surprised him with these sides that he rarely got to see in her.

Sure, her mood changes could be difficult sometimes and several times each day she challanged him and he had no idea what to do; how to handle her and do the right thing. But Seth always tried his best to please her and to take care of her, hoping that that would be enough.

As the water kept raining down over them, wettening their bodies, Seth moved his lips to kiss Summer's jaw and neck bringing his hands down to her stomach.

He could still not believe that there was a life in there; that something that they'd created together was inside of Summer's belly. It was so amazing and every day, more than one time, Seth studied her stomach to see exactly how much it had grown and how much it had changed. For every day something happened in there. The baby was by now actually about three inches he had been told and its weigh was about one ounce.

Summer hadn't started to show much; a strange person wouldn't notice that she was pregnant. But Seth saw. Her stomach was a little rounder and harder than usual and it was so beautiful. Seth had never before thought that pregnant women were very pretty; it had never been anything special about them. But when it was Summer, his own wife and the mother of his child, it was the most amazing and beautiful thing he'd ever seen.

She had started to complain about her favourite jeans being too tight and if Seth knew his wife, she would wait with maternity clothes as long as she possibly could. But he thought that she was being so cute, standing in front of the mirror every morning to see if her stomach had grown. He secretely watched her, knowing that she got uncomfortable with him watching her more these days.

So, at times like these he tried to show her that he thought that she was wonderful. He wanted her to be comfortable with him touching her and looking at her. Because nothing as beautiful as Summer existed.

As Seth went lower with his lips and started to go down on his knees to trace kisses over her belly Summer stopped him. "Seth, don't," she started uncertainly taking his hands and pulling him up to her level again.

"What's wrong?" Seth asked concerned as he carressed her hands, searching her face.

Summer looked away, not meeting his eye as she was embarrassed. "Nothing, I just want you up here."

After recieving a look saying that he knew it was more she continued in a quickly speed of words. "I just don't want you to do anything."

Feeling that she had to explain it to him since she didn't want to hurt him she tried to put her feelings into words. "It's hard enough being naked in here with you but when you're staring at me I-"

Seth stopped her, knowing that she was self-conscious. He didn't need her to explain anything to him and he wanted to make her realise what he was feeling and thinking. "Summer, baby. I am only looking at you because you're so beautiful. Okay? I think you're beautiful. But if you're not comfortable with me touching you then I won't. But-"

This time it was Summer interrupting Seth. "I do want you to touch me, Seth." Summer started and tried to find the right words to express her feelings with so that he would understand. "I'm just feeling...not so beautiful right now. All exposed and I have gained weight." Her voice broke and Seth noticed Summer's bottom lip tremble as she lowered her head, looking anywhere but at him. He knew that this was hard for her to talk about and he wanted her to feel comfortable with telling him things.

"Sweetie, you're looking amazing. And you're pregnant, something that I love. I love you, I love our baby and I love your body, okay? You're perfect in my eyes and you'll always be." Seth told her reassuring in a gentle voice.

"Thanks. I needed to hear that. But Seth?" she asked him finally metting his gaze.

"Yeah?"

"Would you be mad if I said that I don't want to right now. I just want attention up here." She made a gesture to her face giving him a weak smile.

"Of course, baby. I would never do anything you don't want to."

"You sure?"

"Yes. Positive. I will now place kisses everywhere I can," Seth started and kissed her shoulder, "up here."

Summer smiled as he kissed her collarbone making his way back up to her lips.

That was part one. Leave a review!

I first thought about posting the whole chapter but it's around 4700 words long so i split it into two parts. And this was the best place to divide it because I couldn't just do it in the middle of a scene.

Now I also want you guys to start voting. I want to know if you want the baby to be a boy or a girl. So, leave me a vote. I promise that I'll include your thoughts in my decision. Some people have asked me what the sex is so I thought that before I decide anything you should have a chance to say something.

Please review and the next part will be up sooner!
