Chapter 27: "Giving something away"
Later that night Noah left, after another quick chat with Summer. It didn't take long for Summer to realize soon thereafter that Noah was not a threat. She was just as concerned about Ella as anyone else.
Ella wiped the sleep out of her eyes as she wandered down the hallway the next morning.
"Mom?" She said entering the living room. "Mom?" She said again. There was no answer.
Ella crept slowly into her mothers room… Summer was lying tangled in a mass of blankets, and her face was stained with tears.
--- About a half hour later Summer awoke to the sound of a plate braking.
"What the hell?" She said squinting as she got out of bed. For a moment she forgot Ella was there, but when she did she began to worry. "El?" Summer called as she entered the kitchen to find Ella on the counter looking down at the broken plate in pieces on the floor.
"Uh oh…" Summer heard her say.
"Good morning little lady." Summer said as she entered the kitchen area. "What may I ask are you doing."
"I'm makin' you Saturday morning breakfast!" Ella said with a wide smile.
"Oh are you?" Summer asked as she lifted her down from the counter.
"Yeah. Before Dad went to sleep he ALWAYS made Saturday morning breakfast." Ella explained before leading Summer to the table and sitting her down.
There were two bowls on the table each containing Ellas new favorite Barbie cereal. It seemed as though it had been there for awhile seeing how the cereal seemed to have absorbed every bit of the milk leaving a soggy mess in the bowl. Ella sat down and munched happily on her soggy cereal, leaving Summer no option but to do the same.
"Yum…" Summer said trying to swallow the mush in her mouth.
Luckily for her just then her phone rang.
"I'll be right back sweetie!" Summer said wiping the napkin over her mouth so she could spit out the cereal without Ella noticing.
"No, I got it!" Ella said hopping off the chair and running to the phone, leaving Summer once again to her cereal.
Ella picked up the phone.
"It's Uncle Ryan mom!" Ella paused for a second. "He said 'da tell ya' that Aunt Marissa is having the babies yesterday!"
Summer's head shot up.
"Is having the babies yesterday?" Summer asked rushing to the phone
"Whoops, I meant to say today cause I get that mixed up yanno." Ella said smiling as she handed the phone to her mother.
"Ryan, what's up?" Summer asked
"It's Marissa, she's in labor." Ryan said out of breath.
"I thought that you guys were on vacation?"
"We were, but we came back last night because Marissa wasn't feeling well, and then she woke me up just a couple of hours ago saying that her water broke and now we're here and now she's hating me for doing this to her, and I really think that she needs another woman right now and seeing how her mother's a bi- witch, do you think that you mind stepping in?" Ryan said in almost one breath.
"I've gotcha, I'll be there in a minute." Summer said hanging up the phone.
"What's going on mommy?" Ella asked
"Remember when we talked about having babies? Marissa is about to have one… or two or whatever." Summer said running frantically around the house as Ella followed behind her.
"Do you mean that TWO babies are going to come out of Marissa's va-" Summer slapped her hand over her daughters mouth.
"Um, El, go put some stuff in your back pack, we may be there for awhile."
"Kay." Ella said skipping off back to her room.
Summer took a deep breath relieved that she had just dodged a bullet. How were parents supposed to answer all of those questions. She figured there must be a book about it.
Summer dragged Ella behind her into the hospital.
"Mommy! My legs hurt!" Ella complaied
"Hey!" Ryan said rushing up to them. He gave Summer and quick hug and then picked up Ella.
"Where's Marissa?" Summer asked
"In the room not wanting to have anything to do with me right now seeing how she's convinced that I got her into this situation." Ryan said putting his hand on his head leaning back and groaning.
"Is Noah or Kirsten or anyone else around here?" Summer asked
"They are both stuck in traffic. I think you just missed it, I called you first. Marissa told me to." Ryan explained.
"Alright, will you hold onto Bam for a second while I go see her?"
"Yeah." Ryan said kissing the little girl on the forehead.
Summer wandered to Marissa's room. She had come to know the place like the back of her own hand since Seth had been admitted after the accident some months ago.
"Sum!" Marissa said reaching her arms out as her best friend entered the room.
"Hey Coop." Summer said giving her a tight hug before letting go. "How are you feeling?"
"How would you feel if you have two kids stretch-" Marissa began but Summer cut her off.
"Ew Coop, total over share. How are the babies doing?" She asked placing her hand lightly on Marissa's stomach.
"They said that they are great considering that it's a little early." Marissa said placing her hand a top Summers. "I'm glad you're here."
"Me too." Summer said smiling, right then another contraction hit Marissa.
"AH!" She screamed clasping Summers hands tightly. Summer was convinced that all circulation in her arm was cut off.
Ryan rushed into the room a second later.
"Is she alright?"
"Yeah, chill out." Summer assured him. "It's just another contraction. I think they're getting close."
"It hurts me just watching it." Ryan said wide eyed.
"WAY TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER!" Marissa yelled, her eyes clasped shut.
"Where's Bam?" Summer asked
"In the waiting room with Noah." Ryan said. "She just got here."
She was having one contraction after another.
"Um Ryan, on second thought go get a doctor." Summer said letting Marissa squeeze her hand tighter
