Chapter 15: "Love don't change, don't come around here"
Ella looked Summer in the eyes.
"So you had me in your tummy?" Ella asked
"Yeah I did." Summer said sitting next to the little girl on the bed
"Like Marissa and her baby now?" Ella asked
"MARISSA IS HAVING A BABY!" Summer yelled so loudly that Seth and Marissa heard her downstairs.
"Yup." Ella said nodding. "Was it like that?" Ella asked
"I guess so." Summer said still in shock.
"How did I get out of your tummy then?" Ella asked raising her eyebrow.
"I think you may want to ask your daddy that one." Summer said to the little girl.
Ella nodded.
"Where were you?" Ella asked wiping her nose on her shirt sleeve.
Although the six year old wasn't the clearest with her words Summer knew what she meant.
"I had some stuff that I needed to do. I thought that it would be better if you stayed with your daddy for awhile." Summer said
"You never told me that." Ella said
"I did." Summer said stroking the little girls hair.
"I don't 'member."
Summer thought back to that night, the hardest night of her life. The one where she last held Ella… Where she told her how much she loved her… how sorry she was, how shoe would be back… that was the day that she dropped the then baby off at the Cohens house.
"That is because you were an little baby." Summer explained.
"Are you going to leave again?" Ella asked
"NO!" Summer said quickly. " I won't leave you again. I love you"
"But how? You don't know me?" Ella asked pointedly
"Well I know that you are my daughter and that is enough." Summer said.
She had changed so much… so much…
"My, my" Ella stuttered "my favorite ice cream is banana splits." Ella said slowly
"Really?" Summer said, really surprised. "Mine too!" She said smiling
"Really? 'Cause daddy hates them." Ella said
"Yeah, Set-, I mean, your dad doesn't think that fruit and ice cream mix."
"Yeah." Ella said laughing.
"How about we go out sometime and get banana splits?" Summer suggested.
Ella thought for a second.
"If Marissa say's it's okay." Ella said
"What do you mean?"
"Well Marissa usually takes me. But if shes says it's okay." Ella explained, rationalizing the situation like a six year old.
Summer looked at Ellas walls. They were covered with pictures that she had drawn over the years. Summer noticed that on the top of the papers it said, Isabella Roberts-Cohen… after everything Seth had not dropped the Roberts from Ellas name.
The front door opened and closed. A female voice called out "HELLO!"
"It's Noah!" Ella said jumping up.
"Who is Noah?" Summer asked
"Noah is daddy's girl friend."
"Oh really?" Summer said somewhat surprised.
"Yup, they have been together since I was a little baby." Ella said proudly. "COME ON!" She said grabbing Summers hand and leading her down the stairs.
"BAM." Noah said when she saw the young girl appear at the foot of the stairs… and then she saw Summer. Both women stopped dead in their tracks with Seth in-between them.
"Um, Noah, … this is Summer." Seth explained….
Marissa watched from the table in silence.
"So, … you're the Summer?" Noah said stepping towards her.
Summer wasn't sure what to say.
"It's okay Noah." Seth said. Ella had just jumped up in Noahs arms.
"I should um… I should head out." Summer said grabbing her bag
"NO!" Seth said grabbing her arm. "You are not going that easy again!"
