Authors Note- I know I said it would be awhile, and it still may be those
circumstances. Anyways, this chapter is really short, but trust me, you
wont hate it for me, even though I hate this chapter with all my might.
Chapter Nine- Realization
Marissa sat behind the ' Employees Only' door, sitting atop a box filled with bubble wrap. Her head was between her legs and her breathing coarse in a tattered pattern.
He was here. One million people on the island alone, and he had to be the one to walk in. She always thought another guy from her past life would be first, then again maybe Ryan isn't part of her past. Her mind was still spinning from merely seeing those crystal blue eyes..
But her day dream was ripped apart. Ryan was with Seth at this very moment, so was her daughter. No, his daughter, their daughter. That had her in deep thought..
Her head shot up. Ryan was calm, vary calm, despite the situation they were in. Seth couldn't have told him, he wouldn't- even if Cohen did have a disorder with letting private information slide.
She then said aloud, " he thinks she's Luke's".

" How can you have a girlfriend?" Summer shrieked.
They were all on their feet, either gripping at their hair or pacing in small circles, though Ryan wasn't too sure why.
" It's not that difficult Roberts, well, I mean, he's not gay!" Seth snapped, " and if he is, you know, that's fine too".
Summer nearly growled at Ryan, " who is this Amber girl?".
Ryan felt like a guilty convict, and sadly, he had already known what that felt like, " she's a secretary at the firm I work at".
" Ha, secretary" she snorted.
Seth glared at her, " so, how serious are you two, like, has she re-decorated your apartment yet?".
Ryan shrugged, " I just, I don't know, we've only gone out a few times, it's nothing like that. She just started calling me her boyfriend, but its not serious".
" Ryan, you and I have a much different perspective on what ' serious' is".
Just then, Seth noticed the one tiny subtraction from the room, the others did seconds later, " you know what, she's probably in my room" and he disappeared.
Summer glanced at Ryan, " do you love her?".
" Amber?".
" No, Coop".
Ryan nodded as Seth returned, " she almost talked" he said in aghast. The other two stared at him, " she was laying on the bed and looked at me, her mouth opened and I swear she almost spoke".
" I take it that's a big deal?" Ryan asked with an arched eyebrow.
" She hasn't said a word since birth. It's like she's afraid to talk, or" Seth glanced at Ryan before saying, " waiting for something".
" Or someone" Summer added.
In the thick silence, Ryan glimpsed between the two of them, " there's something you're not telling me, right?".
Seth softly nodded, Summer looked away as his stomach slowly twisted itself into a knot-
" Lily is your daughter".
