Breaking the News Part 1

After the less then joyous reunion, Anna was immediatley hired. Seth and Summer said hasty good byes, and Seth handed Anna his adress and phone number on a slip of paper.

"Dont be a stranger" he whispered into her ear. Summer and Anna hugged and cried.

"I missed you! Beleive it or not..." Summer trailed off. Anna grinned and stifled a sob. Sum and Seth waved goodbye and drove off in the Jeep Wrangler they recently bought together.

"So, where do you live?" Ryan asked as he ushered Anna into the foyer of their spanish style mansion. Anna blushed.

"Well, I...dont really...um, how do i put this...I'm a homeless bum?" Anna tried to crack a joke, but Ryan could see how ashamed and sad she was by looking in her eyes.

"No problem. You can have the guest floor." Ryan said nonchalantly.

"Guest...floor?!" Anna said incredulousley.

"Yeah. Isn't it nice?" Marissa appeared at the top of the staircase. She had fled to her room after the "faded" comment.

"It's gorgeous, but i cant beleive I'll have a whole floor to myself!" Anna said softly.

"We converted the attic so that it includes a master bedroom, full master bath, living room with a flat screen plasma TV and a kitchen fited with all the appliances you'll ever need." Came the small voice of Ari Atwood, who was standing next to her mother. Ava had become very attached to Anna and was now clinging to the Raspberry colored skirt Anna sported.

"Wow. Thats cool, how did you memerize that?" Anna said sweetly.

"Who are you anyway!?" Ari said icily. For a five year old at least.

"I'm Anna, i'm going to help out your daddy by taking care of you when he and your mom are, uh, busy." Anna said in a hurt tone.

"You mean while mom is in the hospital. I know shes going to die! And i dont like you. Your weird looking." Ari said, tears suddenly streaming down her cheeks.

Marissa had a blank look in her eyes. She looked down coldly at Anna.

"First comes the replacement." Marissa said cryptically.

Back at the Cohen household, Summer was twirling her hair absentmindedly.

"Summer, when you twirl your hair it means your not telling me somethimg. Spill it." Seth stood behind her as she sat looking into the vanity mirror.

"Triplets." summer said softly.

"Huh? Whoi has triplets? Not Ryan. Those are twins honey. Triplets are when you have three kids at once. This is why you shouldn't have skipped Sex Ed to go to the Gucci Sunglasses sale in 9th grade." Seth rambled. Summer turned around, scrunching up her face.

"You remember that?" She asked.

"Yeah. So?" Seth grinned.

"Well, what if we had triplets?" Summer tried to be nonchalant.

"What do you mean, what if? There is no what if with triplets, my dear. You cant plan those things." Seth said dumbly. Summer stared at him, as if to say,

"I'm Having triplets dummy!"

"Wait a minute..are you?" Something gleamed in Seths eyes.

"Cohen i'm pregnant. With triplets, to answer your next question." Summer cracked a smile.

All of a sudden Seth looked like a 9 year old boy who just got the red bike he asked wanted for Christmas...er, Hannukah.

"Yesssss!!!!!! Summer thats great!!!! Woohooo!!!!! Oh my god! I get to be a dad!!!!!" He grabbed Summer and twirled her around the room.

Summer smiled. But deep inside there was a pain. Like a hole in her heart.

And she knew exactly why.

"Look, you either got the money, or you dont. Its tha' simple Terry. Ya either do, or ya don'." A tall man with dark shades and an earring ring said coldly.

"For the last time dont call me Terry!" A beautiful woman with glorious raven black hair and deep olive skin shot back. She was clutching the hand of a golden blonde 10 year old girl.

"Wheres the money, woman? " The tall man growled.

"I...I dont have it." The raven haired woman said weakly.

"Boys. We need to solve this problem. I think you know how." Out of the shadows of the alley, 3 men appeared, clad in black. The woman leaned down and whispered something in the girls ear. Then, in a loud, brave voice she told the girl:

"Tell him who you are. Go!" The girl started to run. One of the men in black went to run after her, but the tall man stopped him.

"Worry about Terry over here." He said in an amused voice.

"My name aint Terry. It's Theresa!" The woman screamed.
