The Summer of Kayleigh Cohen.

Chapter 26

It was two and a half weeks until December 25th and Summer has calmed down slightly. She realized it was the holiday season and she wanted to make Christmukkah a fun occasion for everyone.

Summer laughed slightly as she watched Seth try to teach their dogs how to sit . He was trying so hard but the dogs only wanted the treats and he wasn't going to give them it until they actually sat. Soon enough the dogs got disinterested and decided to run throughout the house.

"Summer! This is not working.:" He shouted to her as she baked cookies in the kitchen. Kayleigh giggled in her high chair as she watched the dogs happily.

"Don't worry Cohen. It will be okay." She sighed, upbeat.

Seth looked over to her and smiled. Her nasty mood was almost over and it was in good time; he figured since they had to be over at her Mom's place in two hours for the shower.

"Hey Sum? Did you ever get my mom and Julie a present?"

Summer looked over at him and smiled. "Yeah. I stopped by the baby store while you were giving Kayleigh a bath. I got Kristen a baby swing and Julie a rocking chair. I'm such a bad gift buyer but I hope they will like it."

Summer walked over to her daughter and placed her hand over her forehead. "At least she doesn't have that cough anymore and she doesn't feel hot." Seth walked over to them and lifted his baby into his arms.

"I'm gonna miss this. Her being a baby…soon she will be in kindergarten and then high school and then she will be married." He frowned, cutely.

"Whoa there! She's not even out of diapers yet. I think you have enough time, Cohen." She laughed slightly.

He shrugged and gave his daughter a Eskimo kiss.

The doorbell rang and Summer visibly tightened. Both of them worried about who was at the door. Was it Anna? They both hoped not.

"I'll get it." Seth announced as he carried his daughter with him.

Through the glass door, he saw the blonde he was dreading.

"Hey stranger, hey Kayleigh." Anna greeted, her black eye looking worse by the hour.

In the kitchen, Summer heard her voice and she strutted into the foyer.

"Nice eye." Summer commented as she glared at Anna. "Seth, give me Kayleigh, I don't want my baby to ever see this slut again." Seth handed Kayleigh to Summer as he had no clue what to say.

Anna stepped over the threshold a bit, "Hey Summer, did Seth-y here ever get that letter I told you to give him? You know the one, don't you?" She smiled, devilishly.

Summer glared at her and sighed. "I burn letters from sluts. Sorry." She shrugged simply.

Anna visibly looked mad at Summer for burning the letter.

"Summer? What letter?" Seth looked hurt as Summer sighed.

"Yeah Summer," Anna began… "What letter?" She mocked evilly.

"Cohen, I'll tell you later." He didn't seem to take that easily.

"Summer…" Summer interrupted him.

"I told you…I'll tell you later." She warned, trying not to make a scene in front of her worst enemy.

"Hey Seth." Anna spoke again, "I'll tell you everything I wrote…" She reached into her pocket and pulled out an envelope. "Speaking of, I just happen to have an extra copy of it right here." She glared at Summer.

"Seth…Don't." Summer hissed. Seth realized she meant it.

"Sorry Anna, but you have to leave."

"But Seth, do you think Summer is really going to tell you the real truth of what I wrote?" She asked questionably.

"Leave or I'll call the police." Seth stated as he shut the door. "Bitch" Summer called right before the door slammed.

"Oh Seth, I'm sorry. Thanks for shutting the door on that slut. All she wants to do is break us up." Summer sighed as she turned to walk back into the kitchen.

"Summer, What letter?" His voice seemed deeply conflicted with the latest news from Anna. What letter was she talking about. Why didn't Summer give it to him? What other secretly was she keeping from him?

"Cohen, don't be mad at me." Summer stated.

Seth repeated himself. "What letter?" His eyes glared at her.

"The letter Anna gave me a long time ago."

"How long ago?" His voice was sharp and unemotional.

"Before she left the first time." Summer responded, her head down. "But that doesn't matter now. We're happy and we have Kayleigh." She smiled slightly at him.

"Why didn't you give it to me?:" He furrowed his brow at her.

"Cohen. Just drop it okay. It doesn't matter." Summer looked into his eyes but all he saw was betrayal.

"I can't believe you Summer…" He began but she interrupted him.

"Can't believe what Seth? Why do you care so much? It was a letter from Anna! We hate Anna! What's your problem?" She began getting angry with him. It shouldn't matter what was in the past especially if it involved him and Anna!

"My problem is that you lied to me and kept that letter a secret! What else are you hiding?"

"Whatever Seth! Just go be with Anna if you want. See if I care!" Summer was angry now and she felt the hot tears going down her face. Seth left the kitchen and stalked out of the front door with a bang.

Kayleigh started crying at the loud noise and the dogs started howling also.

She knew she shouldn't have kept the letter a secret, but what Seth didn't know couldn't hurt him right? Boy, was she wrong!
