Ok here is the next chapter....
Ryan walked out of the pool house to get some breakfast for himself and Marissa. When he walked into the kitchen, Seth was there, eating his bowl of Fruit Loops.
Ryan: (while grabbing two bowls and pouring cereal) Hey Seth: Uhhh...feeling extra hungry today Ryan?
Ryan: (absentmindedly) No, one is for Marissa Seth: Ok, I've heard of denial but this is going too far... Ryan: No I'm serious... She came back last night Seth's jaw drops as Ryan turns around and walks out of the kitchen, holding two bowls of cereal.
Marissa is sitting in the pool house, trying to figure out how she is going to tell Ryan that he has been a father for the past 5 years. She grabs her purse and takes out a picture of Ally. Then Ryan walks into the pool house carrying cereal for both of them. She quickly hides the picture. Ryan gives her a bowl, and sits down next to her. Both seem bothered, and neither of them are doing a good job of covering it up. Ryan: Marissa... why did you leave? Marissa: Ryan I was pre Marissa is interrupted by Seth walking into the pool house. Seth: (grinning wildly) Marissa you're back! We've got to call Summer, she'll be so exited, we should all go out tonight... How about we go to a club or something... Ryan cuts Seth off, giving him the death glare. Ryan: Don't you know how to knock? Seth: Wow, I seriously think Summer is rubbing off on you man... Marissa: (relieved) Hi Seth! Why don't you call Summer... we can all go out for lunch or something... Seth walked away to call Summer, and Marissa turned to Ryan. Marissa: I'm going to go back home to see my Dad, and I need to change if we're going out. I'll meet you and Seth at the Crab Shack at about 1:30 ok.
Ryan: Ok, bye. He gave her one last kiss and reluctantly let go of her, and watched her walk out the door.
Meanwhile, at Summer's house, Summer is just waking up to a screaming Ally. The little girl is sitting on her bedroom floor, crying. Ally: I WANT MY MOMMY!!! Where am I? Then she turns around and glares at Summer who is still half asleep. It takes her a second to realize who she is. Ally: Aunt Summer? Summer: How do you know who I am? Ally: Mommy talks about you all the time, and I have a picture of you and Uncle Seth on my dresser at home. Summer's phone rings and she turns around to pick it up. Summer: Hello? Marissa: Hey it's me... did Seth call you yet? Summer: No...Why? Marissa: Because we're all going to the Crab Shack for lunch. Can you do me a huge favor? Can you dress Ally and get her ready? Her clothes are in that bag I gave you last night. Put on her pink skirt, ok? And do her hair...and make sure she eats a good breakfast... and Summer: She'll be fine Marissa. Marissa: Ok meet us there at 1:30 Summer: Bye Marissa: Bye Summer hung up the phone and sighed. Marissa had definitely changed a lot since she left. She looked down at Ally. Summer: Come on Ally... You have to take a bath.
Marissa pulled into Jimmy's driveway, got out of the car and rang the doorbell. She was kind of nervous, she hadn't seen her father in almost 6 years, and he still didn't know that he was a grandfather. To Marissa's surprise, Hailey answered the door. Hailey: (in shock) Marissa?!?! Marissa blushed. Marissa: Hi... ummm... is my dad home? Hailey is still gaping. Hailey: Yea, sure, come in. (Yelling) JIM!!! MARISSA IS HERE!!!
Jimmy walks over to the door.
Jimmy: (smiling) Hi! How are you?
This confused Marissa because Jimmy was being extremely casual about
the fact that his daughter was back after suddenly leaving 6 years ago
and not telling anyone.
Marissa: Hi dad... I'm sorry I can't really talk right now; I'm going to
be late. I was wondering...Do you still have my old clothes and stuff?
Jimmy led Marissa to her old bedroom. It looked like absolutely
nothing had been touched since she left. In fact, it looked as if she
hadn't left at all. Everything was clean and in its place.
Marissa: Thanks dad.
She closed the door and walked over to her closet. She hadn't worn
anything like that in so long. After she left, she didn't have enough
money to spend on her clothes. Every cent went to Ally. She looked at
her watch to find that she only had 45 minutes to get ready. She took
a quick shower and grabbed a pink skirt and a white top. Surprisingly
enough they still fit. If anything, they were a little loose, because
she didn't have the money or the time to eat like she used to. As she
went to put on her makeup, she realized that most of it was almost 8
years old. She couldn't wear it, so she asked Hailey if she could
borrow some of hers. Before she walked out the door she grabbed an old
pink purse and dumped whatever was in hers into it, then ran a brush
through her already half-dried hair. She quickly said goodbye and ran
out the door.
As she pulled up to the restaurant, she saw Summer's parked car. She
got out and ran over to it. Summer was just taking a perfectly groomed
Ally out of her car seat.
Ally: Mommy!
Marissa: Hi honey! Thanks so much Sum, I don't know what I'd do
without you.
Ally: Mommy look what Aunt Summer did to my hair! Are we here to meet
Uncle Seth mommy?
Marissa: (absentmindedly) Yes sweetie...
Summer: Marissa what's wrong?
Marissa: (smiling nervously) Nothing
Summer: (disgusted) You didn't tell him did you?
Marissa: Not exactly...
Summer: COOP!! HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL HIM?!?!?
Marissa: I tried... Seth interrupted.
A waitress came over to seat them, and a few minutes later Seth and
Ryan arrived.
Seth: (confused) Ok.... Who's the kid?
Marissa: (blushing furiously) This is my daughter, Ally. (pointing at
Ryan) Ally this is your daddy...
