A/N: Here's the next chapter, on Tuesday, just as promised. This chapter is two months later, in January and Summer is 7 months pregnant. BTW- Summer's mom wasn't living in Newport before they moved, she lived in San Diego. Enjoy!
Chapter 7: I Love You
Summer was sitting in her room on the computer talking to Stephanie on instant messenger in one window, Marissa in another (Stephanie's screen name is stephygirl2, Marissa is sharebear78, and Summer is PrincessSparkleSRSC, Seth is CaptainOatsSCSR, just to let you know for further references).
Stephygirl2: Hey
PrincessSparkleSRSC: Hi, what's up?
Stephygirl2: Do you want to go out to lunch with me tomorrow?
PrincessSparkleSRSC: Sure, where are we going?
Stephygirl2: I'm not sure yet. Probably the Olive Garden.
PrincessSparkleSRSC: Okay, what time?
Stephygirl2: I'll pick you up at 11:45
PrincessSparkleSRSC: Okay, I'll see you tomorrow
Summer finished talking with Stephanie and started to talk to Marissa.
PrincessSparkleSRSC: Hey Coop!
Sharebear78: Hey Sum, what's up?
PrincessSparkleSRSC: nm, I was just talking to Stephanie.
Sharebear78: Cool, I think I might be coming to visit you soon. Probably next weekend.
PrincessSparkleSRSC: Cool, I miss you guys. Seth hasn't been here since I passed out and that was two months ago.
Sharebear78: Why didn't he come see you over the holidays?
PrincessSparkleSRSC: His parents said he had to spend the holidays with them, we sent each other presents though.
Sharebear78: I know I helped him pick out the necklace he gave you.
PrincessSparkleSRSC: I loved it, it's so pretty, I haven't taken it off since I got it.
Sharebear78: I'm glad you liked it. I g2g, ttyl.
PrincessSparkleSRSC: Bye.
Marissa signed off, Summer signed off too. She started to work on a paper for school. She finished it after about two hours of being on the computer.
The next day, Summer was in her room at her vanity getting ready for lunch with Stephanie. She was wearing a long-sleeved light pink dress. Her hair was down and slightly wavy. Stephanie came to pick her up at 11:45. When Summer got in the car they headed out the street. Summer noticed that they were not on the way to the Olive Garden. It seemed like they were going in a circle. About 15 minutes later they were pulling in their street.
"I forgot something at my house, you can come in while I get it, I'm sure my mom would like to see you," Stephanie said. Summer didn't notice the cars in the driveway next door and in the street. They walked into Stephanie's house and there were pink streamers and balloons everywhere. Suddenly a bunch of people popped up from behind couches and chairs, all yelling surprise.
"What is this?" Summer asked confusedly.
"A baby shower for you," Katelyn said getting up and hugging a surprised Summer.
"Oh my god, this is amazing. I can't believe you did this," Summer said.
"Katelyn, Caitlin, Kyla, and I planned it," Stephanie said.
"We have one more surprise too," Katelyn said. "Come on out," she yelled. All of a sudden, Seth came walking out from the dining room and walked over to hug her.
"What are you doing here?" Summer asked him wrapping her arms tightly around him.
"I wanted to come visit you and Stephanie called me to tell me that she was doing this, so I decided to come now."
"I've missed you so much," she said moving her head up to kiss him.
"I've missed you too," he said as he pulled away from the kiss. They walked back to where the party was and ate lunch. Now, Summer and Seth were sitting on the couch opening presents.
"This is so adorable," Summer said at the little dress Stephanie got Sydney. Stephanie had gotten her a baby bath tub, baby shampoo and lotion etc. and two little pink dresses.
Next she opened a bag with a pack of washcloths, pacifiers, and bottles from Kyla. She got a stroller from Katelyn, a car seat from Caitlin, and a highchair from Connie, plus a bunch of little things from some other people. Seth had brought presents from home with him. He brought six little outfits for Sydney from his mom, and a playpen from Ryan and Marissa.
She was getting towards the end of the pile when she noticed a small pink bag.
"Who is that from?" she asked pointing at the bag.
"That's from me," Seth answered.
"I want to open it!" she said excitedly.
"I want you to save it for last."
"Okay." She finally got to Seth's present.
"This is more for you than the baby," he said moving closer to her. She began to pull out the tissue paper and could see the tiny blue velvet box.
"Oh my god," she said to herself. Everyone was staring closely trying to figure out what was in the bag. She pulled the box out where everyone could see and they all gasped in shock. She opened the box to reveal a gorgeous diamond ring. "Oh my god."
"Summer, I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" he said nervously.
"Yes," she squealed happily. "Oh my god this is beautiful." He slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her passionately. Everyone else in the room was clapping. When they broke away from the kiss all of her friends gathered around her squealing and hugging. They were amazed at the size of the ring. "I'm getting married!" she squealed at her friends holding up her hand to show off the ring.
"This is so beautiful," Stephanie said to Summer and Seth grabbing Summer's hand to look at the ring closer. After the shower, Seth and Summer went back to her house. Everyone helped her bring the stuff home, she only lived across the street. It was a beautiful night. It was snowing lightly. Summer had begun to love the snow.
Seth and Summer were lying in Summer's bedroom on the couch discussing the wedding.
"When do you think we should have it?" Seth asked, rubbing Summer's protruding belly.
"I think we should do it in June in California. It will be nice weather, we could have it outside. The baby will be about three months old, which is a good age to be able to fly."
"My parents offered to pay for everything, and my grandfather said he could have his plane bring all your friends from New York."
"I see you've been doing some planning."
"Looks like you have too. How did you know I would ask?" he asked.
"How did you know I would say yes?"
"I didn't, but I hoped you would."
"I think we've done enough planning for one night," she said. Seth got up and helped her to get up. They went over to the bed and began making out.
"We've definitely done enough planning for tonight," he said continuing to kiss her. They made out on the bed until they fell asleep. The next morning they decided to tell Summer's mom that they were getting married.
"Good morning," her mom said cheerfully as they walked in the room.
"Good morning," they both said.
"We have something to tell you," Summer started.
"Let me guess, you're getting married," her mom said excitedly.
"How did you know?" Summer asked confused.
"Sweetie, the huge rock on your finger kind of gives it away," she said pointing to the ring.
"Oh, I forgot about that."
"Congratulations," she said walking over to hug both of them. "I'm happy for you, Summer. You deserve a good guy like Seth. I know you two will be very happy."
"Thanks mom, I'm glad you approve. I know daddy doesn't."
"Your dad doesn't approve of Seth?" she asked surprised.
"He hates me," Seth said.
"Why? You're great to Summer and you make her happy. Does he hate you because you got her pregnant?"
"Daddy doesn't know about that yet," Summer said.
"When was the last time you called him?" her mom asked.
"I haven't talked to him since we moved here."
"Summer, we've been here for five months, why haven't you called?"
"I don't want to talk to him, but I guess I'll have to tell him I'm getting married."
"Yes you will. When are you going to tell him?" Seth asked.
"I'm not sure yet."
"Did you pick a date yet?" her mom asked.
"No, but we want to do it in June and in Newport. I think we should have it at that place Caleb and Julie did, that place was nice."
"Okay, that place was really nice, it was just the people that made that a bad wedding."
"Whose wedding are you talking about?" her mom asked confused.
"Caleb Nichol and Julie Cooper," Summer answered.
"They got married?" she asked shocked. "Isn't he the richest man in Newport or something? I read about him in a magazine."
"Yeah, he's Seth's grandfather," Summer answered.
"I didn't know that."
"He's going to allow people from here to use his plane to go to the wedding so they don't have to spend money on plane tickets," Seth said.
"That's nice. So when are you going to call your father?"
"I think I'll call soon, maybe next week after we pick a date," Summer said.
"Are you going to have him walk you down the aisle?" her mom asked.
"No, I don't want him to walk me down the aisle. I want Jake to do it. He's more of a father to me."
"I think Jake will be thrilled, you should ask him when he gets home from work."
"I will."
"Are you going to tell him about the baby?" Seth asked.
"No, he'll find out at the wedding. I want to go shopping now. Cohen, let's go to the mall."
"Why do you want to go to the mall?" Seth asked.
"Because I want to shop for some more baby stuff. I'll let you buy me and the baby something pretty," she said pleadingly.
"Fine, we can go to the mall."
"Great! I'm just going to go get my purse, I'll meet you in the car," she said giving him a kiss on the cheek and walking up to her room.
Later that night.....
Summer was sitting on the couch in the family room watching TV and waiting for Jake to come home. Seth was upstairs in the shower. After about five minutes of sitting there, Jake walked in the door from the garage to the family room.
"Hey Summer, how was your day?" Jake said walking in the room.
"It was great, I have something to tell you," she said. He sat down next to her.
"Okay, shoot."
"Seth and I are getting married," she said excitedly.
"That's great, I'm so happy for you," he said giving her a hug.
"I also have something to ask you."
"Go right ahead."
"Will you walk me down the aisle?" she asked. He was shocked.
"Of course, why don't you want your father to do it?"
"I would rather have someone who actually pays attention to me and loves me walk me down the aisle."
"I would love to, thank you for asking me," he said excitedly. Jake went into the kitchen as Seth came downstairs and sat on the couch. He kissed her softly.
"When are you going to come back here again?" Summer asked leaning back onto him.
"I'll be back February 13th for our anniversary," he said stroking her hair.
"You remembered!" she said excitedly.
"How could I forget. I'll miss you until then."
"I'll miss you too. I love you, Cohen."
"I love you too. Soon you're going to be a Cohen too, you know."
"Summer Cohen, I like the sound of that," she said.
"I like it too," he said kissing the top of her hair and thinking how much things had changed since last year.
Yeah
The sun is shinin' everyday
The clouds never get in the way for you and me
I've known you just a week or two
But baby I'm so into you
Can hardly breathe
And I'm in so totally
Wrapped up emotionally
Attracted so physically
Acting so recklessly
I need you so desperately
Sure as the sky is blue
Baby I love you
I love you
I never knew that I could feel like this
Can hardly wait till our next kiss
Your so cool
If I'm dreamin' please don't wake me up
'Cause baby I can't get enough
Of what you do
And I'm in so electrically
Charged up kinetically
Acting erratically
Need you fanatically
You get to me magically
Sure as the sky is blue
Baby I love you
I can't believe that this is real
The way I feel
Baby I'm gone head over heels
And I'm in so totally
Wrapped up emotionally
Attracted so physically
Acting so recklessly
I need you so desperately
Sure as the sky is blue
And I'm in so electrically
Charged up kinetically
Acting erratically
Need you fanatically
You get to me magically
Sure as the sky is blue
Baby I love you
Baby I love you
Do you love me too
Baby I love you
