Marissa was sitting in her apartment in New York City, her 7-year-old
daughter Evelyn was at Seth's house.
Marissa sat looking out the window. It was raining. She was sipping a cup
of hot cocoa.
She had taken a sick day from her job as a secretary at a law firm. For the past few years Seth, Anna and summer have been like a god sent.
Marissa Cooper at the age of 18 had a daughter by Ryan. But he had no idea about it. When she found out that she was pregnant with Evie she had run to New York. Without a word to anyone. Luckily Seth had decided to go to school in NY and he had no idea that summer and Anna had also decided to go to school in NY.
He was walking down the street and he saw a heavily pregnant girl who looked much like Marissa Cooper. He ran to catch up with her,
"MARISSA?"
Marissa turned sharply to the direction that her name was being called.
"WHAT? I told you I would have the rent to you tomorrow Mrs. Kelley."
"Umm I'm not Mrs. Kelley." Marissa saw the curly headed Seth Cohen running towards her.
"Seth?"
"Yeah!" and he had hugged her.
"What are you doing here Marissa? Everyone thought that you had just like disappeared. I can't wait until I can call Ryan."
"No you can't call anyone I don't want them to know where I am."
They had instantly become friends again. After the 7 months that she had seen nor heard from any of the New Port society.
She had explained to him about Ryan and her how she fled when she found out that she was pregnant.
Seth had understood, and promised not to call anyone.
But he had called Ryan and told him that Marissa was all right. That he had received e-mail from him saying that she was fine.
Then Seth had found out that summer and Anna were going to the same school as he was and Marissa then gave birth to a Gorgeous baby girl named Evelyn.
Seven years had passed from that day it had been almost 8 years since she saw Ryan. DAMNIT she missed him.. She REALLY missed him.
She needed him but she would never admit it.
Evelyn had been an unusually quiet girl forever. she didn't say her first word until she was 3 and when she did say her first word she didn't just say a word she said "No I want carrots NOT mashed potatoes"
Needless to say Marissa was shocked. But pleased none the less.
But anyway Seth and the girls had helped her raise Evie, Anna, Summer and Seth each had apartments on the same floor as Marissa in her apartment building.
And now Marissa is going to night school so one of her three friends usually takes Evie and watches her at night until Marissa gets home from school.
Marissa thought that she should get up now and get dressed and go to her school.
She dragged herself up and took a hot shower trying to get the feeling that grungy feeling that sitting around all day in your PJ's veging makes you feel.
She dried herself off and picked up the phone and called Seth's number, he picked up on the second ring.
"'Hey Seth Speaking"
"Seth this is Marissa I just wanted to thank you for taking Evie tonight. Its an important test for me tonight."
"Look Marissa its no problem." Marissa heard Evie talking excitedly to someone in the background. Marissa smiled.
" Anna over there?" She asked knowing that Seth's apartment was sandwiched in between the two girls.
"Yeah summer dropped Evie off this morning"
"Yeah well give her the biggest hug ever and tell her I love her bye Seth"
"Bye" they hung up and Marissa grabbed her coat, purse, and school bag and went to her school.
On the streets somewhere in NY city.
Ryan was walking along some street in New York trying to find his way to Seth's apartment. Seth had always been to visit Ryan in Cali but never once had Ryan come to visit Seth.
He finally after becoming hopelessly lost hailed a cab and handed them the address.
Twenty minutes later they pulled up to a reasonably nice apartment building.
"Not too shabby" Ryan thought as he paid the cabby and grabbed his two bags.
He walked in to the lobby having some trouble with the doorman until he showed him ID. He figured out which floor Seth was on. The twentieth floor. Yikes HIGHTS. Ryan thought as he climbed into the elevator and closed his eyes leaning his head on the wall. The elevator lurched into motion. Ryan's stomach clenched.
In a few minutes the elevator door opened and he practly jumped out of it. He glanced at the number on his sheet of paper, 306.
"Ok that should be down that way," Ryan said to himself as he glanced at a near by apartment door.
Ryan rapped on the door a few times; he heard a high-pitched squeak from behind the door. "Oh he must have a dog" but it was followed by a giggle. "DAMN he has a girl in there"
The door opened and a small face with blue eyes started at him. "Yes?" she asked very sweetly.
"Umm is your umm well is Seth here?"
"Yeah." a voice said from a few feet away and Seth appeared picking up the smiling girl. \
"RYAN!!! Man this is great to see you. Umm why didn't you call?"
"Um surprise." Ryan said laughing slightly.
"Yeah this is great!!! Umm I see you've met Evie though. Evie this is Ryan" Seth said tickling the smiling girl. There was something familiar about the small girl that Ryan couldn't put a finger on
Ryan smiled at the girl that was being held under Seth's arm.
"Hey I'm Ryan"
"HI!!!" she says laughing.
"Its past her bed time." Seth said. "Oh come on in man!!" Seth said stepping away from the door and motioning for him to come in.
Anna was just coming out what Ryan assumed was the bathroom she was covered in water. Ryan now knew what the squeak was, Evie was supposed to be taking a bath.
"RYAN!! Hey!" She then turned to Evie "BATHROOM NOW!!!" Evie squirmed out of Seth's arms and ran out of the room cackling merrily. Anna took off after the small girl.
"Umm obvious question. But who is Evie?" Ryan asked Seth sitting down on the couch.
"Oh she's a friends daughter, I'm watching her tonight. Actually I watch her almost every night. See my friend works all day and goes to night school. But she graduates in two weeks so that will change" Seth said growing more and more uncomfortable.
"Ok" Ryan said raising an eyebrow.
They talked until Anna came back into the room wearing one of Seth's tee shirts from a zillion years ago and a pair of his boxers.
"She slimed me. I'm gonna run back to my apartment and go to bed its about 11 you guys should be going to bed to Seth you have an appointment tomorrow at six, and Evie is in bed and sleeping just so you know. Umm you will get your clothes back laundered and fresh in a week. And just so you remember Maris.. Mary will be coming to get Evie around 11:30. Night" she said hugging Seth and Ryan then grabbing her coat and purse and dashing out the door.
Ryan looked confused.
"Ok."
"Yeah so Ryan. Umm WOW I'm tired!!" Seth said stretching and faking a yawn. " So we should probably hit the hay right?"
"Umm yeah you can I need to stay up for a while its still only like nine my time remember?"
"OH yeah that"
Seth looked nervous.
"Well then suit yourself. I'll be out at 11:30" Seth said getting up " I have to dig up some pillows for you" he walked out of the room.
Ryan walked around the apartment. Which was quite large it had two bedrooms, which for an apartment in NY was very good.
He wandered to the door of the little girls room, which was decorated in a modern theme. with girlie little things about the room like stuffed animals everywhere. You could tell that Evie stayed with Seth a lot. \He stared at the small girl; he noticed that she was curled up into a small ball in her ballerina pajama's, the covers had been kicked off of her. Ryan walked over to her and gently covered her up, she rolled over her mouth making an O her small hand curling up into a fist and stretching. She was now on her back, Ryan just stared at her. Then it hit her DAMN why didn't he see it before.. she was a spitting image of Marissa. Just as he thought that the door opened and Marissa walked into the apartment.
Ryan just stood there shocked at the fact that they were almost identical.. except for the eyes.. the eyes were.. just like.. well.. his.. There were foot steps in the carpeted hallway and Evies door swung open for a figure to walk in.
"RYAN?" Marissa exclaimed.
"MARISSA?"
"SHIT" she said smacking herself on the forehead.
