"Uh Coop? YOU'RE PREGNANT!" Summer screamed. Sandy and Kirsten
stopped talking. Marissa turned red and put her head down. Kirsten got up
and went over to her. "Congratulations! I'm going to be a grandmother!"
Kirsten said. That was the happiest anyone had seen her since Ryan died.
Seth smiled as he watched his mother overreact. "How far along are you?"
Summer asked. "About 3 months," Marissa said. "Congrads Marissa," Seth
said. "Thanks Seth," Marissa said. Seth put his thumb up in the air to say
OK or no problem or whatever Seth said. "When are you gonna tell your
mother?" Summer asked. "Well, my father knows. I'll tell her now. Kirsten?"
Kirsten looked at her. "Can you call my mother?" she asked. Kirsten nodded
and went into the kitchen to call Julie.
The phone rang twice. "Hello?" Julie asked. "Hey Julie! It's Kirsten! Look, Marissa has something to tell you. Can you come over?" Kirsten asked. "OK. I'll be there in 30 seconds," Julie said. Kirsten hung up the phone. "Thirty seconds my ass," she said.
She went back inside and saw Seth missing. "Where's Seth?" she asked. "Bathroom," Sandy said. "Oh." Kirsten went to the bathroom door. "Are you OK Seth?" she asked. "Fine mom. Thanks for asking," Seth mumbled. Kirsten shrugged and went inside just as the doorbell rang.
"Julie! Come in! Make yourself at home!" Kirsten heard Sandy say. Kirsten saw her go towards the couch, but stopped her. "Seth's laying there. He's really sick," she said. Julie looked at the couch, backed away, and sat on a chair. "Is everything OK?" Julie asked. Seth came out of the bathroom. "Hello Seth. How are you feeling?" Julie asked. Seth forced himself to smile, but he dropped it and just waved as he lied down on the couch.
"Is everything OK Marissa?" Julie asked. She sounded nervous. "Yeah. Nothings wrong. I have good news. Well, for me at least," she said. Julie grabbed her hand. "Mom. I'm pregnant," she said. Julie's eyes widened. She started to cry. "Oh my God sweetie! I'm so happy for you! How far along?" Julie asked. "3 months," they all said at the same time. "Wow. I'm gonna be a grandmother." Julie looked at Kirsten and Sandy. "We're gonna be grandparents!" Julie said. She went over and hugged Sandy and Kirsten. Her back was to the kids. Julie and Sandy gave them a 'what the hell is she doing' look. Julie pulled away. "Come on honey. We're going shopping!" Julie said. "For what?" Marissa asked. "Baby supplies! Well, we don't know what it is yet. We can get wipes, cream, lotion and diapers," Julie said. Marissa stared at her. Why was she so happy? Julie went outside. Marissa said her good-byes and followed her mother.
"Well. That was bracing," Kirsten said. "I know. I thought that she would like, freak out," Summer said. Seth got up and ran to the bathroom. "Ugh," Summer said. "Do you want to stay over Summer?" Sandy asked. "Sure! I'd love to," Summer said. "Dinner's in a little while. We're having Chinese Food," Kirsten said. "Do you guys eat anything else?" Summer asked jokingly. Sandy and Kirsten nodded. "We have pizza sometimes," Sandy said. Seth came back out. "How are you feeling?" Kirsten asked. "Fine," Seth mumbled as he lied down. "Why was Julie so happy?" Seth asked. "No clue," Kirsten said. Sandy and Kirsten went into the kitchen.
"I'm staying for dinner," Summer said. "Cool. Can you ged me a glass of wader?" Seth asked. Summer nodded and went into the kitchen to get a glass of water.
Seth liked being alone. It gave him time to think about Ryan and all the good times they had. Like on Thanksgiving when they had Chinese in Seth's room because his mom burned the turkey. And how when Marissa left that night, Ryan gave Seth a picture of him when he played Snoopy in You're a Good Man Charlie Brown. Seth laughed when he saw the picture and when Ryan left, he framed the picture. He put it next to his bed. He also remembered the times when the four of them went to the beach. Seth had a picture of the four of them, him and Summer, Summer and Marissa, and one of him and Ryan. Ryan even smiled in the picture.
"Here's your water," Summer said. Seth nodded and drank it. "Do you want to talk?" Summer asked. Seth looked at her. He did. He really wanted to talk about Ryan. Seth nodded. "What do you wanna talk about?" she asked. "Ryan," he said.
They sat for a little while and talked about the good times they had, and the bad ones. "One of my favoride memories is on Christmakkuh. My parents and I, we had our stockings up, and Ryan didn't. Dat night, he hung id up," Seth said. He got up and went over to the fireplace. There were a lot of pictures up there. He took the holiday one and showed it to Summer. It was the Cohens and Ryan, sitting in front of the fireplace, smiling. Summer looked at it and started to tear up. "I miss him Seth. You know that, right?" she asked. Seth pulled her into a hug. "I know," he said. Seth got up, and put the picture back. He looked at a picture they had in every room. It was a picture of Ryan in a tuxedo, smiling. Next to that picture was a picture of his grave. Under every picture, there was a rose, Ryan's favorite flower.
The phone rang twice. "Hello?" Julie asked. "Hey Julie! It's Kirsten! Look, Marissa has something to tell you. Can you come over?" Kirsten asked. "OK. I'll be there in 30 seconds," Julie said. Kirsten hung up the phone. "Thirty seconds my ass," she said.
She went back inside and saw Seth missing. "Where's Seth?" she asked. "Bathroom," Sandy said. "Oh." Kirsten went to the bathroom door. "Are you OK Seth?" she asked. "Fine mom. Thanks for asking," Seth mumbled. Kirsten shrugged and went inside just as the doorbell rang.
