Chapter 6
Jealous
"What do you mean you're letting her stay here?" Marissa hissed.
"She's my daughter Marissa! Please, why can't you understand?" Ryan said in a hurt tone.
"Because you have two other beautiful, well brought up daughters. and yet, you want to slay the fatted calf for some random ragamuffin. How do we even know she's yours?" Marissa cried hysterically.
"How can you be so blind! She has my nose, my eyes, my hair! And how can I help Theresa's financial situation? Eddy wasn't the smartest guys on earth." Ryan shot back.
"Don't you love me?" Marissa screamed. She grabbed a robe and slammed the door, walking up to the guest room forgetting about Anna.
Marissa threw open the door, and collapsed in a fit of sobs and hiccups on the floor.
"Marissa?" Came the hushed voice of Anna. The sobs stopped for a second, but returned.
"Oh, it's you!" Marissa bawled. She rocked from side to side, holding her face with her hands. Her hair stuck to her faic and got caught on her lips.
"Marissa! What's wrong?" Anna rushed over and kneeled, placing her hands on Marissa's shoulders.
"No! Stop I dont need you!" Marissa shrieked, roughly pushing Anna away.
"I-I...I'm sorry." Anna trembled.
"Just leave. Just go away." Marissa whispered.
"But where shoudl I.." Anna started.
"Go! Just get out!" Marissa grabbed a ceramic pot and threw it at the door after Anna left.
Marissa took a few deep breaths and collapsed on the bed.

Anna wandered down to the couch, only to find Ryan and a girl sitting on it.
"Who's this?" Anna said precautiousley.
"My daughter from a previous girlfriend. Her name is Norinne." Norinne waved.
"I'm Anna. I'm here to help out with Ari and Ava. I guess there your stepsisters." Anna sighed uncomfortably. She was having second thoughts about this job.
"Goodnight, Norinne. I think Anna and I need to have a little talk." Ryan kissed his daughters forehead and switched off the lamp.
"Well, I just got off the phone with Seth and Summer. And we decided it would be best if Theresa came and lived with me and Marissa, and you could go to Seth and Summers to help out when they have the triplets."
"Theresa?" Anna pondered.
"Yes, Norinne's mother. I'm not sure how Marissa will take it. I better go check on her." Ryan sighed.
"Yes. I guess I'll camp out with Norinne. By the way, where is Theresa now?" Anna asked.
"She's being held at Trinitas Police Station. According to Officer Aleksandrovicz she was beaten by a gang of loan sharks." Ryan said solemnly.
"Oh." Anna said softly.
The phone rang noisily in the cohen household, interrupting a steamy midnight makeout session.
"Who is calling us at this time of night?" Summer pouted. Seth shrugged. Summer rolled her eyes and buttoned up her juicy couture top.
"Hello, City Morgue. You kill 'em, we chill 'em." Seth said monotonousley.
"Um Seth? It's Ryan." Soon the past events slowly unfolded before Seth.
"Wow. Theresa. I haven't seen her in...ages! Didnt she move into The Vegas?" Seth muttered.
"Yeah. She got kicked out. became a stripper, fell into debt blah blah blah. I just got her call from Trinitas Station." Ryan sighed.
"Trinitas? But thats the station that works with the gangs and mobsters" Seth said as a matter of factly.
"She got beat up by some loan sharks. I have her daughter-our daughter here."
"No fricken' way. Damn. Man, you weren't even at the birth!" Seth said rudely.
"Well, I was a little busy listening to Julie Cooper slash Nichols slash whatever sob her eyes out at your grandfathers funeral. You, however, were busy screwing Summer in the bathroom." Ryan hissed.
"Dude, you knew about that?"
"Sandy was in the stall next to you the whole time takin' a dump Seth." Ryan deadpanned. Summers eyes bulged out.
"I knew it!" She screeched.
"Well, anyway, I'm going to have Theresa be our nanny. I don't know what to tell Anna. I mean, Norinne is my daughter. " Ryan blanched.
"Well....Summers having triplets." Seth said in a hopeful voice.
"Congratulations! How is she?" Ryan said, happy for his bro.
"Um. Hard to say." Seth bit his lip.
"Well what if Anna was our nanny? What do you think of that Summer?" Seth yelled into the other room.
"Hey! That's a great idea. We can talk about our past boyfriends. Who happen to be the same guy!" Summer acted excited.
"I thought you liked her." Seth said sadly.
"I do. Actually it's a good idea." Summer said in a huff.
"oh. Summer thinks its a good idea. So yeah". Seth replied.
If only Ryan knew the consequences of his actions.......
