Summer and Seth are together and he didn't runaway. Anna never left, she is still friends with the group. Please continue to R&R. Thanks!!

Kirsten's heart felt as though it would pound right out of her chest at this moment. She was standing outside the door as she took a deep breath. Finally when she felt as ready as she'd ever be her shaky hand reached up and pressed the doorbell. She stood there waiting for what seemed like and eternity before the door slowly opened.
"Hey Kirsten." Jimmy said smiling, "And to what do we owe this honor?"
"Hey Jimmy, I have something to tell you and Marissa." Kirsten said already feeling as if she would cry.
Jimmy's expression grew serious. "Sure, come in." He said opening the door more.
"Hey Mrs. Cohen." Marissa called from the kitchen.
"Hey Marissa can you come in here please." Jimmy said calling her into the living room.
Marissa enetered the room with a concerened look on her face.
"What's wrong? It's not Seth is it?" Marissa asked concerened.
"No, no Seth is fine..." Kirsten began to say.
"Ryan?" Marissa said.
"Honey let her talk." Jimmy said with grin.
"Oh sorry." Marissa said trying to act casual again.
"Okay I am not even sure where to begin, or how to say this. All I know is that you have to know. I have only just told Sandy, Seth and Ryan so I was keeping this from everyone not just you. Now I realize I should have told you, but as I told them also I just wasn't ready." Kirsten took a breath, "Okay Jimmy back when we were...when we were together and I went away for a while?"
"Yeah I remember. It was a long time ago Kristen." Jimmy said.
"I know, but it is still very important. Well I went away because, because I was pregnant." She said, "I was pregnant with your baby and I didn't know what to do. I gave it up for adoption." She finished as the tears rolled down her cheeks again.
Jimmy and Marissa didn't know what to say.
"I'm so sorry for not telling you, and I will understand if you hate me." Kirsten said sobbing.
"No, no I do not hate you. I, I am not sure what to think or say. I wish you had told me. I understand why you didn't tell me. I mean we weren't in love, and it must have been so hard." Jimmy said putting a comforting arm around her.
"It's okay Mrs. Cohen, I would never hate you for that." Marissa said not knowing what else to say.
"I'm so sorry." Kirsten said wiping her eyes. "But now I feel I wished I had kept him, but I see that it would have ruined us."
"Yeah, I wouldn't be here would I?" Marissa said smiling, "That would be pretty bad." She said trying to lighten the mood.
"Yeah I guess that's true."
"And Seth and Ryan wouldn't be either. Imagine a world without Seth? How boring right? Besides have you ever thought maybe this boy, well guy would try and find you?" Marissa said.
"Not really. It could happen I guess." Kirsten said, "I'm just glad I finally got the nerve to tell everyone." Kirsten said.
"We are too." Jimmy said smiling.

"So you're saying that you have an older half brother out there somewhere?" Summer asked.
"Yeah thats exactly what I'm saying." Seth said.
"Oh that's cool I guess." Summer said.
"Yeah and he's my half brother too then." Marissa said grinning.
"Okay thats just weird." Summer said.
"Yeah I thought so too." Ryan said. "I mean this guy is like mix between these two were all doomed.
"Hey watch it." Marissa said hitting her boyfriend on the arm.
"What's up guys?" Anna asked as she walked up to the group.
"Hey Anna Banana." Seth said jokingly.
"So what was this Summer was saying about you having a brother?" Anna asked grinning.
"Yeah I have a 22 year old half brother out there somewhere." Seth said.
"And he's Marissa's half brother too." Summer added.
"Oh thats freaky." Anna laughed.
"Yeah it really is." Ryan and Summer agreed.
"So he's like a half moody half funny guy then!" Anna joked about her best friends.
"Hey I am not moody!" Marissa defended herself, "Okay maybe a little."
"Yeah okay Marissa." Summer laughed.
"Lets go eat, I'm starving!" Seth suggested.
"Me too, okay lets go." The group took off to the cafe for lunch.

Xander had never really been too good with directions, but Willow had done an awesome job of finding the house. She had used her great computer skills to find Xander's mom's address. It had been a lot easy than they had thought it would be to get her name from the adoption agency. They didn't know the dad's name so he figured maybe they weren't married or something.
Xander drove slowly down the street he hoped was the right one, and boy if it was these people were rich. That's when he saw the right house number. He pulled up besides the house and got out. At the door Xander took a deep breath and rang the bell.
"Hello? How can I help you?" Sandy asked.
"Is this where I can find Kirsten?" Xander asked, realizing he hadn't even thought to write her last name down.
"Yeah, yes this is the right place. Is she expecting you?" Sandy asked with a puzzled face.
"No, no she's not." Xander said. "Let me get her."
"Hi I'm Kirsten. Do I know you?" Kirsten asked.
"Um not exactly." Xander said nervously. He looked at Kirsten and wondered how she could possibly be his mother. She was for one thing beautiful, and she didn't look too much like him.
"So how can I help you then?" Kirsten asked kindly.
"Oh sorry. I'm Xander. I mean Alexander Harris. I, well I think you might be my mother." Xander blurted.
