Chapter 6: Paint and Names

It was the morning after the wedding. Seth and Summer were going shopping, and then they had a doctor's appointment. Kirsten had given them a credit card to use on anything they bought for the house, and she was going to pay the bill. They went to South Coast Plaza, and into a furniture store. They looked around for a while.

"Seth, I like this one," Summer said, pointing to a sleigh bed. It was cherry wood, and had a matching dresser, two nightstands, and a bookshelf.

"That one is nice, it would go nice with dark red walls."

"I want it," Summer said demandingly.

"Okay, we can get this one. Let's go order it."

"Thank you," she said as they walked toward the front of the store. They ordered it, and it was going to be delivered and put together the next day after school. Next, they went to a store that sold bedding supplies.

Right as they walked in the store they both stopped and were staring at a set that was dark red with a few dark green and dark purple stripes. "This is perfect," Summer said, still staring at it.

"Yeah, we should definitely get this one," Seth said, Summer nodded in agreement.

"Definitely, we should get the same design for our bathroom too," she said.

They bought the comforter, pillows, pillow cases, curtains, towels and shower curtains, and other bathroom accessories all in the same print. They also bought some extra sheets and pillow cases in dark purple, dark red and dark green.

After they bought everything they needed and brought it out to the car, they went to get lunch. They were at a restaurant waiting for their food. "Do you want to know the sex of the baby?" Summer asked Seth.

"I think it would be easier if we know, that way we can paint the room, and buy furniture and clothes for it."

"Good, I want to know. It's also easier to pick a name if we know the sex."

"Good point. So can we find out today?"

"Yeah, I think so. Then we can go to the paint store afterwards."

"Good idea." They ate their food and then left for the appointment. They were called in quickly after they got there. "Would you like to know the sex of your babies?" he asked them as he did an ultrasound.

"Yeah, we want to know, wait did you say babies, as in the plural of baby?" Summer asked, very confused.

"Yes, you're having twins." The doctor said, pointing to the screen.

"Oh my god, Summer were having twins," Seth said excitingly to a still shocked Summer.

"Oh my god," she finally said.

"Are you okay with this Sum?" Seth asked her, she still looked shocked.

"Yeah, I'm just really surprised. So can you tell us what their sexes are?" she asked the doctor.

"Of course, this one is.... a girl and this one is... a girl. Congratulations, you're going to have two girls."

"Oh my god, Seth, we're having girls," Summer said happily. She didn't care if they were boys or girls, but she wanted at least one girl so she could do her hair and take them shopping.

Seth was happy too. He always wanted to have a little girl, hoping that she would be a daddy's girl. Now he would have two. He didn't care if it was a boy. Most men want boys so they can teach them sports, but Seth wasn't exactly athletic.

They left the doctors office, and went to the paint store. They got dark red for their room, green for the living room, a dark green for the kitchen, and light blue for the family room. They also got a light pink for one girl's room, and a light purple for the other girl's room.

When they got home, they immediately began painting their bedroom. They thought it would be easier if it was done before the furniture came, that way the furniture wouldn't need to be moved or covered. They called Marissa and Ryan to come over and help paint. It was a big room, but with four people they finished painting quickly. When they were done they ordered Chinese food, and they all ate dinner. While they were eating Summer and Seth decided to tell Ryan and Marissa about the twins.

"We have something we want to tell you," Seth started, "We went to the doctors today."

"And..." Marissa said anxiously.

"We're having twins," Summer said excitedly.

"Oh my god," Marissa squealed, "Do you know the sexes?"

"It's two girls," Summer said as she pulled the ultrasound picture out of her pocket. The girls were squealing for about five minutes, no one really knew what they were saying; you couldn't understand any of it.

"Congratulations," Ryan said over the squealing.

"Thanks, man." Seth said back.

When the girls were done screaming and squealing, they started talking again.

"Did you pick names yet?" asked Marissa.

"We didn't get a chance yet, but we will soon," Seth answered.

"But we do know that they will both start with 'S', just like our names," Summer added.

"And we know that the middle names are going to be April and Autumn," Seth said.

"That is so cute," Marissa said.

After they finished talking and eating, Marissa and Ryan left. Seth and Summer cleaned up the empty containers, and put the dishes in the dishwasher. When they were done cleaning, they put on their pajamas, and lay down on the couch in their bedroom. Summer was on top of Seth with her head lying on his chest. They had the lap top on Summer's legs, but Seth was holding it. Summer was typing. They were on babynames.com looking under female 'S' names. They narrowed it down to Sadie, Savanna, Selene, Serenity, Shelby, Sienna, Sierra, Sophie, and Sydney. They wrote down the names and closed the lap top.

They turned on the TV and started to watch 'The Wedding Planner' on TNT. After a few minutes, they had both fallen asleep. At six o'clock, their alarm clock went off. Summer didn't hear it, so Seth had to wake her up. She could be aggressive in the morning if she wasn't woken up right.

"Summer wake up," Seth cooed in her ear, "Baby, get up we have to go to school."

"Five more minutes," she groaned and rolled back over.

"If you don't get up now, than we're gonna be late."

"Fine, will you take a shower with me?"

"Of course," Seth said, as he got up he turned off the alarm, then went to join Summer in the shower.

After their shower, they got ready for school. Summer took longer so Seth got breakfast ready. He took out two bowls, two cups, cereal, milk, and orange juice. As he was putting the food away after pouring it, Summer snuck up behind him, wrapping her arms around him and kissing him on the neck.

"Good morning," she said while kissing him.

"Good morning to you too," he said, turning around and kissing her on the lips. They both sat down and ate breakfast. When they were done, they got their stuff for school, and got in their BMW (they now share Summer's BMW convertible), and headed to school.

Most of the school knew they were married, and most of them knew she was pregnant. She didn't really care if they knew. Now people wouldn't be shocked when she started showing. They just didn't know she was having twins. No one knew except Ryan and Marissa. They were having Sandy and Kirsten over for dinner, and they would tell them then. They also wanted to show them their bedroom and the paint colors, especially since they're the ones who paid for it.

Seth and Summer had a few classes together. If they weren't with each other for a class, then they were with either Ryan or Marissa. They saw Marissa and Ryan as soon as they walked into school. Summer gave Seth a kiss on the cheek, and Marissa did the same with Ryan, then they walked away leaving the boys walking in the other direction.

Summer decided before she and Seth got married that she would change her last name to Cohen, and drop the 'Roberts' completely. Summer had told her teachers on Friday that on Monday she would no longer be Summer Roberts, but she would be Summer Cohen. All of them had remembered. She felt really good being a Cohen, and have people calling her Summer Cohen. At three o'clock, Summer and Seth met at their car to go home. At three fifteen some workers came to deliver and assemble the furniture in the bedroom.

"Baby, I'm tired," Summer said to Seth as they sat on the couch in the family room studying.

"Okay, do you want to take a nap before dinner?"

"Yeah, I'm just gonna sleep here. Can you wake me up at five?"

"Sure," he said as he grabbed a blanket and put it over her.

"Thank you."

"I love you," Seth said, leaning in and kissing her.

"I love you too." Within a few minutes, Summer was fast asleep.

About an hour later, the workers finished putting together the furniture, and moving it to where Seth and Summer wanted it. After they left, Seth got out the comforter, curtains, and everything else they had bought for the room and bathroom. He wanted to put everything in its place before Summer woke up to surprise her. He finished at four thirty and got ready for dinner with his parents. At five he woke up Summer and ordered the food for dinner. Summer walked into the bedroom, seeing what Seth had done, and was so happy.

At quarter of six, Kirsten and Sandy arrived. The first thing they did was go to see the bedroom. They both loved it. Seth then showed them the colors for the family room, living room, and kitchen. Dinner arrived at six thirty. They all began to eat.

"We have something to tell you," Seth said to his parents.

"We're having twin girls," Summer added.

"Oh my god, did you pick out names yet?" Kirsten squealed.

"Yeah, we picked them today at lunch," Summer answered.

A/N: 2 chapters in one day! I know this one is longer than the others, but I'm finally out of my writing rut. Next chapter, the names are revealed. I love the names I picked. Let me know what you think. I'm still looking for a new title! R and R please!
