Chapter 8: A Picnic and A Shower
It was now September. Tomorrow was the first day of school. Seth and Summer were sitting on the couch watching reruns of 'The Valley'. Seth was massaging Summer's feet. She was six months pregnant, and could no longer see her feet when she was standing.
"Are you nervous about tomorrow?" Seth asked
"A little, are you?"
"Not really. You don't have that much to be nervous about. Everyone already knows you're pregnant."
"I guess, but people will be criticizing me anyways."
"I don't know why. You look great."
"I look like and elephant."
"But a cute elephant." Seth said as he received a smack in the arm. "What was that for, I was telling you that you look beautiful?"
"It was for causing me to look like an elephant."
"You don't look like an elephant."
"Thank you."
When 'The Valley' was over, Summer and Seth went upstairs to bed. Their alarm went off at six o'clock. Summer didn't wake up.
"Summer, wake up," Seth said as she started to stir.
"No."
"We have to go to school."
"I don't want to go."
"But you have to go. Come on, get up. I'll let you take a shower with me."
"Okay fine," Summer said as she got up and followed Seth into the bathroom. After they ate breakfast, they got in the car and drove to school. They had almost the same schedule. When the first warning bell rang, they walked together to homeroom, trying to ignore the stares that they knew people were giving them.
At the end of the day, they met at the car and went home. Summer immediately went up to the bedroom and fell asleep. She woke up around five o'clock and felt something on her back. She turned over and Seth was lying next to her, rubbing her back.
"Hey," she said sleepily, "What are you doing in here?"
"I'm watching you sleep. Do you want to get dinner?"
"Sure, but I don't feel like cooking, so could we get take-out?" She replied groggily.
"I thought maybe we could go out. We haven't gone out in a long time."
"Okay, where are we going?"
"It's a surprise."
"Okay, then what do I have to wear?" She asked confused.
"Anything you are comfortable in."
"Okay, I'll go get changed." She got up and walked over to the closet. She put on a pair of black pants and a pink t-shirt. "I'm all ready."
"Okay, let's go," Seth said as he grabbed her hand and escorted her down the stairs and to the car. She recognized where they were, but didn't know of any restaurants near there. "Here we are," Seth said as he pulled a picnic basket out of the car and led her down to the boat.
"We're having a picnic on the 'Summer Breeze'? What's the special occasion?" She asked confused.
"Nothing, I just thought you could use a moonlit picnic after a long day of stares from people at school."
"You are so sweet," she said as she kissed him and he helped her onto the boat. They began to sail and then ate.
"Thank you," Summer said as she finished eating, "I really needed this."
"I know and you're welcome. I love you." He leaned over and kissed her.
"I love you too." She rested her head on Seth's lap and he stroked her hair. She wished they could just stay like that forever.
A few weeks passed and it was now October. That meant it was time for the baby shower. Kirsten had invited Marissa, Anna, the newpsies, and some of Summer's friends. The shower was being held at Sandy and Kirsten's house. Everyone was just standing around talking for a while. They had a small buffet for lunch.
When everyone was done eating, they played games, which Summer thought were pointless, about guessing the babies' weights and lengths. They also played a game, which Summer found extremely annoying, where everyone guessed how much toilet paper would fit around Summer's stomach. Marissa won.
After the games, everyone watched as Summer opened her gifts. Everyone was 'ooing' and 'ahhing' at the cute clothes and ect. Summer received two bassinets, two single strollers, one double stroller, two baby bath tubs, a diaper bag, two car seats, two highchairs, lots of clothes, baby lotions, wash cloths, ect. She also received many packages of diapers. She also received one present from Marissa and Anna that was very unexpected. They got the babies a puppy.
"Oh my god, this is so cute," Summer exclaimed as the tiny Springer spaniel jumped out of the box, onto Summer. "Does it have a name?" she asked.
"No, we left that for you to decide, it's a girl and it is two months old," Marissa answered.
"Do you like it?" Anna asked.
"I love it, thanks you guys," she said as she hugged them both. "I think I'm going to name it Shelby."
"That's cute," Anna said. Anna and Marissa had also gotten her a bed for the puppy, puppy chow, food bowls, a collar, a leash, and a travel cage.
After the gifts, they all ate cake. It was pink and had two stork statues on it. After the cake, everyone left. Summer said goodbye and thank you for the gifts as she stood at the door.
When all the women were gone, she plopped back onto the Cohen's couch to relax, while Seth, Ryan, and Sandy loaded all of the gifts into the car. When they were done, Seth and Summer left to bring all of the gifts home. When they got home, they unloaded the gifts and put them right away in the girls' rooms, or the garage, or wherever they had to go. They put all of the dog stuff away too, and set out food for it.
"Do you like the dog?" Summer asked Seth as he was petting Shelby.
"Yeah, she's cute. I like the name."
"I thought you would since it was in our second choice of names."
Seth and Summer sat on the couch with the dog for a while longer. Now that the shower was over, they couldn't wait for the babies to be born.
