Disclaimer: I don't own the OC, but I do own this story. Feeling a bit jealous now, Josh? Guess not.

I'm back to finish this story. I'm going to thank you, because if you hadn't reviewed I wouldn't have finished this. Here goes...thanks to:

- mikelucas1. Damn, you review fast!

- Spunky Panda. I really appreciate it. Now I have to correct some things...eh...maybe you can tell me how to do that without removing the whole story and publishing it again? Yes, I'm the amateur of the year.

- MooMooMeggy. Especially for reviewing chapter 2, if you hadn't done that I probably would have changed the title in Really Bad Story and I don't know if I had continued the story.

- ocfan108 for not saying those swear words aloud and for not killing me...yet.

- Alexis and svocfantastic. Love your OMG's.

- Seth Cohen/ Adam Brody are so hot. Yes, I'm cruel.

- London chic, ally, chany, ocobssessed78, yaba, SweetahZ, Nels6354, littleputz114 and kitotterkat.

Every review made me so happy! (God, I hope I wrote everybody's name correct)

Love to hear from you if you liked the ending and what chapter/dialogue/part of this story you liked best.

"Karin, Myra, Yvette, Sophie? What do you think?"

"I have no idea," Ryan said.

Marissa sighed. She had no idea either, but at least they got some more months to think about that.

"What do you think?" she asked Seth, who just walked into the room.

"I think leggings should be forbidden."

"No, a name for the baby. Karin, Myra, Yvette or Sophie?"

"I think the kid is going to be teased a lot if it's a boy."

"You two aren't helping."

The phone rang and Marissa gave the book filled with names to Ryan.

"I'll get it and when I get back you've found at least one name you like."

Ryan turned over the pages of the book, not seeing any names he liked. He looked for help at Seth.

"I've already given great ideas for the name of the baby, but you didn't seem to like it."

"No, I'm not calling my kid Seth or Sushi."

Ryan looked back into the book and Marissa returned into the room, back from the phone call.

"Guess who they arrested this morning."

"Zach?"

"Yes, he had been hiding in some barn. He even asked how Summer was."

"Ass," Seth mumbled.

Everything about Zach disgusted him. The news that Zach was arrested wasn't a relief for Seth at all. When Zach vanished without a trace, Seth had fantasized the psycho was dead or scared to get arrested. But now it would only be a matter of time before Zach would be free again and because of the rich parents Zach had, it wouldn't be a long time.

"We should go."

"Yes. Ryan, did you find a name?"

Ryan closed the book of names he still had in his hands.

"Sushi?"

Marissa shook her head.

"You've spent too much time with Seth."

He recognized them from a great distance. They should have been here two days ago, not now.

"What are they doing here?" Seth asked.

Ryan and Marissa didn't answer. The three of them walked silent to Summer's dad and stepmom.

Summer's dad gave a short nod as sign of recognition and Summer's stepmom stared at them.

They acted like nothing had happened.

"Why are you here now? You should have been here earlier. Summer needed you then," Seth suddenly snapped.

Summer's dad was surprized by Seth's reaction. And he wasn't the only one, Marissa and Ryan didn't know this anger Seth had in him. Seth had been shocked when he found out Summer's father decided to stay in New York after hearing that his daughter was in the hospital. Seth couldn't believe it, he would do anything for Summer and somehow he expected other people to do that too.

"I needed to finish some things in New York. I couldn't have done anything for Summer when I was here. It was the best for her," he answered, more to convince himself than Seth.

"Summer raced to the hospital when she heard you had a heart attack. You should have done the same thing when you heard she was in the hospital. Summer deserves better than you."

"You'd better shut up now," the stepmom warned.

"It's okay. I know you're freaked out because of all the things that happened. You don't mean those things you say," Neil said to calm down Seth.

"I do mean it. You have no idea what the best is for her. You don't even know her, you're never there for her."

"Don't tell me I don't care about my daughter, because I do care."

For the first time Seth saw some emotion on the face of Summer's dad.

"I do care...and you seem to care too," Neil now said calmly.

"You can visit Ms. Roberts now. She asked to speak first with someone named Cohen?" a nurse interrupted them.

"That will be me."

Seth walked to room 3B, looking back one more time at Summer's dad. Maybe someday he would even accept Seth.

Seth, Marissa and Ryan visited her yesterday, but Summer had been too tired to say anything, she actually hadn't heard what they said to her. All she remembered from two days ago was that Zach had shot her in the leg, it hurt and she got here in the hospital.

Seth walked to the bed in which Summer lay. He gave her a smile, sat next to the bed and held her hand.

"How are you feeling?"

"Good...for someone who got shot"

"I'm sorry for what happened. When I attacked Zach...I...I was only trying to save you, but he shot you and..."

Seth didn't know it, but he actually did save her. He had saved her from a life without love.

"Yeah, that was pretty stupid of you. I told you you couldn't fight and then you attack someone with a gun. Why did you do that?"

"I'm mentally unstable, remember?"

"I hate you, Cohen."

"One day you hate me, the other day you don't. Is this some kind of new ritual of us?"

"Would you let me finish the sentence? I hate you for making me love you."

Summer had made up her mind. When she thought she was going to die, the only thing she wanted was to kiss Seth one more time, just to see the happy look on his face, the look he always had after they kissed. She was still scared to love him, but she would give it a chance. Maybe he would break her heart, maybe they would become happy.

"Now you're scaring me. Did something go wrong by the operation? Did you just really say you love me?"

"Yes and if you screw this up, Cohen, I swear I'll kill you."

"Okay, you're healthy. I have always loved that sensitive side of yours," Seth smiled.

"Oh, shut up Cohen," Summer smiled back, while she moved her head to his to kiss him.
