Summary: Marissa has kept a HUGE secret from Ryan for almost eight years, the only people that knew about it were Seth, Anna and Summer, how will he react when he suddenly finds out? I mean what will happen when he suddenly after eight years of not seeing Marissa suddenly shows up at Seth's apartment? Read to find out~ R&R please!
Seth heard Marissa yell, actually it woke him up, he had only meant to watch TV for a few minutes, but ended up sleeping g instead. He jumped out of his bed flipped off the TV and went running down the hall where Marissa was just standing in Evie's door staring at Ryan, Evie had woken up and looked from Ryan to Marissa then Seth back to Marissa.
"Mommy. you're early. I thought I was going to stay at Uncle Seth's tonight" she said rubbing her eyes with her small hands.
"Mommy?" Ryan thought. "MOMMY?" Ryan asked out loud. Seth went running over to Evie and picked her up.
"SETH" Marissa and Ryan both said in unison.
He turned and looked at them both with a pained expression on his face.
"NO Marissa I had NO IDEA that Ryan was coming today. Yes Ryan I did know about Evie because she was to scare to tell anyone and she didn't want to ruin anyone's life. All though I DOUBT that it would have but ANYWAY I am taking EVIE and we are going to go SIT in the living room and watch TV in the HOPE that she will fall asleep. And you two are going to work this damn thing out. OH sorry sweets I mean this darn thing." And with that he turned and walked out of the room with Evie clinging to him.
Marissa instantly looked more uncomfortable, so did Ryan.
"So. how old is she?" Ryan asked already knowing the answer.
"Seven. She uh JUST turned seven." Ryan laughed.
"Oh really? She did?"
"Ryan. Umm I moved to New York and then I met this guy. His name was. Umm David and we well you know and then he ran out.. And by chance Seth was walking on campus and my job as a clerk at a small bookstore on campus, anyway we were walking to school and jobs and umm we ran into each other and he has been the BIGGEST help ever." Marissa immediately wanted to take her words back about Seth being the biggest help ever.
Ryan's face fell,
"Yeah I can understand that. You know you could have called me an I would have come running to help you."
"Yeah but its too late now but what ever. I mean there isn't anything we can do about it now. I mean its finished isn't it?"
"Yeah it is" Ryan said crossing his arms. "Have you ever tried to contact this 'David?'"
"No I haven't" Marissa said looking at her feet.
"Well you should. He has a right to know." Ryan said.
"Yes I know I should but I don't want to give him a responsibility that he may not want. Ryan.. Maybe we should talk later I need to get Evie home and into bed. 'Night" and she walked out the door. Just like she walked out of his like almost eight years ago.
"WAIT.. I'm going to see you again right?"
"Probably" she said going into the living room and picking up Evie's sleeping form from the couch next to Seth.
"I'll call you tomorrow Seth." And with that she walked out the door.
Ryan came slowly into the living room, and fell onto the couch next to Seth who was watching some late night TV show.
"DUDE why didn't you call me?"
"She asked me not to"
"Not a reason, she needed help, I could have helped her,"
"Ryman she had summer, Anna and I, she was covered."
"Sure man. Why didn't she tell this 'David' guy?"
Seth choked on his soda,
"Ah well 'David' oh well umm well he is just some random guy she met at a club her first week here, and nine months later Evie was born. Its very simple really,"
"Yeah I got that but why didn't she tell him?"
"Well because they were both 18 and had JUST graduated from HS and umm she didn't want to mess up his life" Seth said paraphrasing what Marissa had explained to him about Ryan.
"Right man"
Just them Summer came bounding through the door still looking very pretty with her long dark hair and pretty body.
"Oh my gosh Seth, Marissa just called me and said that Ryan was here and had met Evie, did you tell him about Evie being his?" she said without even looking up to see that Ryan was there. When she did "oh shit" she muttered.
""Well hello summer" Ryan said.
"Ryan. Oh wow what a SURPRISE!!!! I can't believe this!! After so many years!! This is great!" she said completely faking it.
"Yes summer was just being her own JOKING self. she knew you were here so she decided to play a joke on you HAHAHA funny silly summer" he said grabbing her by the waist and pinching her waist so that she would go along.
"Yeah silly ME!!! HAHAHAHA" she said weakly. "I'm so funny!!"
"I bet you are summer. Now what was this about Evie and I?"
"Umm that she likes you?" Summer said playing the one thing she could play, dumb.
"No about her wait what was it? Hmm ' about Evie being his'?"
Seth and summer went silent.
"I see I have hit a nerve." Ryan said blankly. "Come on guys I know your hiding something. And I have my own suspicions but I want to hear it from you."
"Ok fine Ryan." Seth said.
"Marissa ran from CA when she found out that she was pregnant with Evie. who is your daughter. She didn't want to ruin your life so she moved here. She had a new life and everything she's doing well she's going to school and she's graduating next week and I have nothing else to say." Seth said sinking down on the couch. Summer beside him.
"Oh" was all Ryan said. " I never did stop loving her you know." He stated very simply
"We know Ryan" summer said walking over to Ryan and putting a comforting hand on his arm. WOW she had sure changed.
"I need to go see Marissa" Ryan said breaking away from summer "which one is her apartment?"
"309 its across the hall" Seth said.
"Thanks"
Ryan took off across the apartment opening the door and stepping out into the hall walking across it and knocking on Marissa's door, it was opened by Marissa,
"I told you summer you didn't have to stop here." She said without even looking up. "Ryan." She breathed. "What are you doing here?"
"What do you think I'm doing here? I think we need to talk," he said seriously.
"Your right come in," she said stepping back from the door so that he could come in.
Ryan stepped into a nicely furnished apartment. Something like Seth's but bigger, with a view of the city.
"Nice I like it" he said sitting down on the couch, Marissa sat across from him in an over stuffed chair, she curled her legs up so that they were to her chest.
"I'm sorry Ryan I really am"
"I just don't get why you thought that you couldn't tell me." Her expression changed. "Summer blurted it out."
"Damn" Marissa said looking back at Ryan.. He still looked the same just slightly older, "I couldn't ruin your life"
"It wouldn't have ruined my life"
"YES it would have. I mean we went married,"
"That could have happened you know? I would have married you."
"Yeah I know I just didn't want you to feel like you had to."
"I was going to any way, marry you I mean"
"Really?"
" I was hoping."
"Its too late now."
"Right."
"So why are you in the city?"
"Actually I lied to Seth I'm here because I'm being transferred."
"Really?"
"Yeah my company is relocating to NY just cause its better for the soft ware market"
"Oh" was all she said.
"Mommy? I want some water," a small voice said from the hallway.
"I'll get it" Ryan said standing up and running into the kitchen and getting a glass and some water for the small girl.
"Here you go sweetie," Ryan said handing the water to Evie, which she took very gratefully.
"Thanks Ryan"
"I like him, mommy can I keep him?" Ryan blushed, so did Marissa.
"No honey in fact I think Ryan should just be getting home now go to bed I'll be there in a few minutes to tuck you in baby" Evie kissed her mom and waved at Ryan and bounced back into her room.
Ryan started walking to the door, "Do you want me to have any contact with her?" he asked seriously.
"I'm not sure Ryan my first impulse as of now is to say no. But that may change I need to sleep on it I think good night" she said shutting the door behind him; as soon as the door was locked she slid down to the floor sobbing.
DAMN him why on earth did he just have to show up out of the blue. DAMNIT they were HAPPY and now she was going to have to let him have visiting rights to Evie.. DAMNIT she didn't want to. Even though she knew it was her fault that he wasn't there when Evie was born, she felt that if he wasn't there when the child was born that he couldn't have any rights to her. Seth was there the day that she was born. Marissa had been staying with Seth because he had a larger apartment that didn't have rats in it.
She should let him have contact with her. their daughter but she couldn't Evie was HERS not Ryan's.
Marissa wiped her eyes and walked into Evie's room where she tucked her small daughter into bed, read her a story and tickled her back until she fell asleep. By the time that she got done tucking her in it was midnight and Marissa barely had enough energy to undress and fall into PJ's and then into bed. She fell asleep instantly.
