Summer's eyes peeked open and she noticed Seth with his arm propped up, staring down at her.

"Hi."

"Hi…did you sleep well?"

"Yeah, but I haven't been out for that long, have I?"

"Just about five hours….but don't worry. I just woke up an hour ago."

"You have been staring at me for an hour? No offense, but Cohen you need to get a life."

Cohen wrapped his arms around her, "I do have one now…right here with you and our baby girl. And for the record I have only been staring at you for the past half hour. "

"Good to know…" Summer looked at her cell phone for the time. "Oh my god Seth…it's seven o'clock. I need to…we need to go say goodnight to Gabi."

"Yes we do, which is why I am going to put my clothes on and punish myself for letting us sleep so late."

"I don't think it was a bad idea considering we are going to have Gabi home in a few days."

"Good point, therefore maybe just waiting till the morning to see Gabi is a good…" Summer gave Seth a glaring look, "is a bad idea…yes a bad idea. Gonna go change now."

"That's a good idea, Cohen."

As they approached the nurse's station, Seth and Summer noticed the abundant number of smiling nurses staring at them.

Seth was quite curious about what had created the smiles, "So ladies, having a good day are we."

"Normal day, but your night is going to be getting a lot better than ours. I can guarantee that."

Summer and Seth stared back at the nurses in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

Finally one of the nurses relented, "Gabi is being released tonight, well it could have been today, but we couldn't get a hold of you."

"Well, we were…" Summer gently elbowed Seth and she finished the sentence for him, "We were checking out houses, my phone battery must have died."

"So Dr. Matthews already filled out the paperwork, you just have to sign them. I'll give an overview of care, but you guys are pretty much experts by now."

Summer was ecstatic and she quickly grabbed the papers from the nurse. They both quickly signed them and made their way towards Gabi. As she picked her up, Summer realized that transportation was going to be difficult.

"Cohen…we have a problem."

"Yes Houston, and what exactly is that. There doesn't seem to be much going wrong today, so good luck with a response."

"We have one baby, but we are short a car seat."

"That's where you are wrong my sweetheart. I already knew about Gabi being released...well I had an inkling…alright the nurse tipped me off a few days ago. The car seat carrier contraption has been in the back of the Rover all day."

"I can't believe that you didn't tell me this Seth."

Seth realized that Summer was irritated, "I just wanted it to be a surprise. It's just a misunderstanding…"

Summer held Gabi tightly and turned to leave the room, "I am going to head to the car, just make sure you pick up the important numbers and pamphlets from the nurse."

"Sum…." Summer started to walk once again cooing over Gabi, leaving Seth alone in the doorway.

After nearly two hours attempting to get Gabi asleep Seth finally succeeded and he trudged out to the living room. Summer was sitting on a pillow on the floor, reading a book under the lamp. She looked up from her magazine when she felt Seth's eyes staring down at her.

"She's finally asleep…took lots of singing and rocking, but it was worth it."

Summer didn't make eye contact, "That's good."

"Sum, how long are you going to be mad at me? I thought that it was good thing that I was doing. If I had known that you would get mad then…."

"Then what Seth, you would have told me about it. I felt like an idiot in front of those nurses…I didn't know when my daughter was going home."

Seth squatted down to her, "You weren't an idiot Sum. The nurses were aware that you didn't know about Gabi."

Summer couldn't make a comeback, "Well, I only have one more question for you?"

"What would that be?"

"Can you please promise me to stop the surprises? A girl can only take so much before she gets pissed off."

"So I guess that party is off tomorrow then, that's fine. More money to spend on myself…" Seth got up and started down the hallway.

"Cohen, wait. Just take back what I said; a girl can never get enough surprises."

Seth stopped before walking into the bedroom and waited for Summer to catch up. He wrapped his arms around her and gently kissed her.

"Well that's a shame…because there is no party tomorrow."

Summer smack Seth on the arm, "Cohen you are such a tease."

"I learned from the best…" Summer was about to yell, but Seth put his hand over her mouth, "Sum, Gabi is asleep and unless you want to spend half the night rocking her back to sleep I suggest you don't speak."

"Cohen…"

"No words … that's a good girl."

Summer just smirked and pushed Seth into the room. She crawled under the covers and cuddled up along Seth. He nuzzled his face into her hair and kissed her collarbone before whispering "goodnight." It wasn't more than fifteen minutes before Summer was rocking Gabi back to sleep, while Seth lightly snored and rolled around in bed. She was now officially taking care of two children in her life, Gabrielle and Seth.


Author's Note: So what did you think? Read and Review. I am taking suggestions for the song that Summer and Seth should dance to at their wedding. I have an idea for one, but just want to see if you guys knew any.
