Chapter 14: "Them mediocre bad guys can really bring you down"

Summer and Seth waited impatiently in the waiting room of the health clinic. Two days before they had gone and and gotten their mouths swabbed for the DNA test. Now it was time to find out the results.

Ryan and Marissa were back at Marissa's apartment watching little Seth.

"If he's mine we're changing his last name. Seth Hanson, it sounds like he should have long blonde hair and a pair of drum sticks playing "Um Bop"." Seth said winking at Summer.

She smiled, it was the first time that Seth saw her smile in such a long time.

19 year old Summer Roberts sat on the mattress the new apartment that she and her boyfriend had scrapped together just enough money to get. She looked around the empty room. Todd had gone out to see what furniture he could get from a friend of his that was moving upstate and didn't need his old stuff.

Summer looked around the room. She had no friends, her dad told her not to talk to him again when he found our that she was pregnant. Summer Roberts was completely and utterly alone…well almost.

The baby kicked against her… hard.

"Hey kiddo." Summer said placing her hand on her seven month pregnant belly. The baby kicked again. Summer smiled.

She had come a long way for a little girl that viewed motherhood as a death sentence.

"Seem a little anxious to get out." Summer said. "If I were you I'd stay in there. Not that I enjoy you making me want to eat everything in site, and the swollen feet and all, but your safe…" Summer sighed. "I want to be safe too."

Since Summers mother took her life she had never felt that safety again. Safety came in innocence, innocence which Summer had none of, not after that night, the bloody water. No, Summer would never be innocent again.

"You're going to be a boy." Summer said. She knew it, she felt it. She only went to the doctors once during her pregnancy, it was when she was still in Berkley and she went to the campus clinic. That day they gave her an ultrasound. That day changed her life. From that moment she knew that she had a child growing inside of her that she was supposed to love and protect, and as scary as that was she knew that now she had a responsibility, now she had a reason to go on. Now maybe she could have the child that she was so scared to a mere year before.

"Summer? SUMMER!" Seth said again

"Yeah?" She said snapping her head towards him, she had been lost in her thoughts.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just nervous." Summer admitted.

Seth nodded understanding… Seth had been there for him even though she had wronged him in an unimaginable way. It took her swallowing all of her pride to confess what she was about to.

"I'm sorry Seth, for all of this." She said her eyes filling with tears

"Summer, it's not your fault, you didn't remember." Seth said grabbing her hand and squeezing it lightly.

"No, not that, for what I did before Seth, to our baby…" She said her voice trailing off…

"We can't worry about that right now. We have to worry about Little Seth." Seth said turning away from Summer.

"I just had to say it Seth. I took away something from you that we can never get back, but I just want you to know if I could give it back to you I would." Summer confessed

"You took away my virginity, want to give that back to?" Seth said winking trying to lighten the mood.

"SETH!" She complained "Here I am trying to spill my soul to you and you make fun!" Summer said stomping hard on his foot.

"OW!" Seth cried out in pain. "Rage blackouts, I forgot!"

As soon as he regained composure he began to speak again.

"I know that you feel guilty about the abortion Summer. I do. But if we hold onto all of this stuff from the past where are we going to end up?" Seth said. "I'll tell you, back where we are now, separated for five years and quite frankly completely miserable."

Summer smiled up at him.

"You're miserable too?" She asked

"Well don't seem so happy about that." He said putting his hand on her cheek. She smiled and leaned into his touch. He didn't feel like Todd, he was soft and gentle. It was like with Seth she finally found her home.

Seth smiled down at her one last time before leaning in and kissing her. Summer almost melted beneath him. For the first time in a long time she felt something real… and it was awfully nice.

"I've been wanting to do that since I saw you again lying there asleep in Marissa's bed." Seth confessed.

"I've been wanting to do that since you bought little Seth shoes that matched yours." Summer responded.

"Aw Summer, a sucker for shoes as usual." Seth said teasingly, Summer fake pouted.

"You know what else I've been wanting to do?" Seth asked looking Summer mischievously in the eye.

"What?" Summer asked smiling back

"This." Seth said getting down on one knee.

Summers jaw fell open… Was Seth really proposing.

"I've been wanting to do this since the first day of first grade, you were on the swing with Marissa, I brought you a slug, you smacked it out of my hand. That day I heard your first "ew", and I loved you every "ew" since. I loved you since you left me that birthday card on my 12th birthday. I loved you since you were the only one to talk to me at Alans funeral, and I ran into you that day with my skateboard. I loved you since you loved me." Seth chuckled to himself. "I have loved you my entire life… and so I guess what I am trying to ask you is," Seth pulled a box out of his pocket. "Will you marry me?"

Summer was now bawling. Good thing that she didn't wear make-up that day.

"Yes Seth! Of course!" Summer said wrapping her arms around his neck.

Everyone in the waiting room of the clinic started clapping. The pregnant teens, the street whores with STD's, other angry couples waiting for paternity test results as well.

Seth slipped the engagement ring on Summers finger.

"Perfect fit." Summer said smiling

"Marissa helped me pick it out." Seth said

"COOP KNEW ABOUT THIS!" She said reverting into a 17 year old as she kicked his shin.

"Ow!" Seth said grabbing his leg.

Summer then grabbed his head and kissed him like she never had before.

"I love you Seth."

"I love you too Summer."

The nurse then walked into the waiting room and coughed to get their attention.

"Mr. Cohen? Ms. Roberts?"

"Yes?" They said at the same time spinning around

"We have the results."

Hehe, smile, it's what the readers wanted. So there are going to be two more chapters I will try to post them soon. I think I love this story. THANK YOU for sticking around during my long period of writers block. PLEASE review and let me know what you think!
