Chapter 20 – The Return Is Final
They had been back for a while now. Almost two months had it been. People started to stop coming to Seth and saying they thought he was dead. Everyone had settled down and for the first time in along while everything went really well. But when you live in Newport that is never going to last Summer thought. Something always comes up and ruins it. Well I'm not letting anything involving me happen this time.
"Hey
babe! Are you up already"
Seth walked in behind her and laid his
arms around her neck.
"I couldn't sleep very well; I just ended up thinking about a bunch of stuff"
"Oh so
that's where the smell of smoke came from" She hit him playfully
on the arm. "Ouch you know I'm just kidding with you. So what did
you think about?"
"Us, and how our future together looks
like"
"Yeah? And how does it look, good?"
She smiled and kissed him "Very good!"
She had been in here for a while now. Is it really supposed to be this long? What if it is positive? I mean a baby, that would be pretty amazing, but what if he doesn't want another one? Oh my god how long has it been, I got to look at it. It's blue, what does that mean? I'm no good at this at all. Now let's see, blue… Oh my god, I'm pregnant! Shit, how am I going to tell Ryan? Will he be happy? Am I happy? Yes of course I am but… I'm pregnant! I got to ask someone for advice but whom? Oh Seth knows Ryan well; I can ask him for help. She opened the door and looked around; Ryan was nowhere in sight. Wait a minute; did I just get the plan to ask Seth for advice? Shit I am really desperate. She ran down the stairs and got in to the car and drove towards Seth's apartment.
Up there
she knocked on the door but didn't wait for an answer and just
walked in.
"Seth! Are you here I need to talk to you?"
Summer was sitting on top of him in the bed, fortunately they had clothes but the moment was kind of awkward even so.
"Well,
hello on you too Anna!"
"I'm sorry for just rushing in on
you but I have to talk to you right now, it's really urgent"
"Is
something wrong? Is it about Ryan"
"Yes a little bit"
"What
do you mean is he hurt?"
"Hey calm down it's nothing like
that it's just…" She lowered her voice and he almost couldn't
hear her as she continued. "I'm pregnant"
"WHAT?"
The twosome jumped out of the bed in such a hurry that they lost
their balance and laid flat on the floor "Did you just say you were
pregnant?"
"I believe I did, and Ryan doesn't know it
yet"
"Why do I get to know before Ryan, I'm not the father
am I?"
"Are you
crazy? We haven't even slept together"
"Well you don't
really know with technology these days"
"Why would I want a
mini Seth Cohen? I think all of us agrees that it is enough with
one"
"On that point you are very right Anna"
"Hey, I
think the two of us were talking"
"Yes you were, but you
aren't really good at this, you haven't even congratulated her
yet, so I will beat you to that point"
Summer jumped up and gave
her a big hug.
"You are
going to be a mother, can you believe that?"
"Actually I
really can't, and what if Ryan doesn't want another kid?"
"Are
you kidding? With you he would want anything, he loves you a lot you
know. We have a lot of talks between brothers and the last few talks
he has only talked about you. Don't worry about Ryan he will be as
excited as the hyper neurotic thing standing there hugging you, she
says she is a women but I think she is from outer space or
something"
"Ha-ha very funny Cohen!"
"No but seriously Anna, you should go tell Ryan right away, he will be happy"
"I guess you are right" She started walking out but Summer opened her mouth.
"You
must have been really freaked out if you came to Cohen for
advice"
"Yeah I know I need some serious help"
She smiled
and then left the apartment.
The evening was getting close and Ryan got home from his work. He had been there all day but Anna called him and told him to go straight to her place. So here he was outside her house and knocking on the door.
"Hang on
I'm coming! Oh Ryan hi! I was just getting dressed, why don't you
come in?"
"Sure but what is going on? You sounded kind of
freaked when you called?"
"I promise I will tell you but you
just go and sit down now"
He walked in to her kitchen but
stopped when he saw the room. It was filled with candles and on the
table a beautiful dinner was ready.
"Do you
like it?" Anna walked in behind him smiling.
"Yes it is
absolutely beautiful, but I am still pretty curious on what's going
on"
"Just calm down and sit, I will tell you soon, lets just
have a bite first"
He sat down and smiled at her. "Okay
whatever you say, I can't really argue when you have made a dinner
like this"
"I guessed!"
"What is
all this about Cohen? I know why Anna made Ryan something special but
I'm not sure why you are doing it. You are not pregnant are
you?"
"I don't think that is even physically"
"I had
to check you know. Can I take the blindfold off now?"
"No,
don't you have any patience"
"No and you should have learned
that by now"
"You can take it off when we are at our
destination, which is now"
She felt how the car stopped and he
jumped out and ran around it and opened her door, he then took the
blindfold off and she was shocked. He had taken her to the most
expensive restaurant in town. And that was pretty expensive when you
lived in Newport because the restaurants weren't really cheap.
"What
are we doing here?"
"I thought you could look at all the good
food on the menu and then we could get a burger. Why do you think we
are here? I am taking you on a nice romantic dinner"
"Oh but
this is a really expensive restaurant, you don't have to"
"Yes
I do, after everything that has happened I think we need this"
"Good
because I really wanted to go here, I just wanted to be polite"
"I
guessed that you know. So should we get in?"
They walked in hand
in hand.
"Do you
have a reservation?"
"Yes, Mr. Cohen a table for two"
"Ah
Mr. Cohen, we have been expecting you" He blinked at him.
They sat down at the table, which was pretty close to the stage so they could see the band performing.
"What
was up with that waiter? He acted kind of weird and I think he
blinked at you, do you know him?"
"No not at all, maybe he
just thought I was attractive, some people do you know"
"Yeah
well do you blame them" She leaned over the table and kissed him.
"Thank you for doing this"
"You are very welcome"
"So now we have eaten for a while, so are you going to tell me what is going on?"
"Okay,
you know sometimes when you are together with someone you take a
small step, but sometimes it turns out to be an even bigger step then
you thought it was"
"Ehh you are not making any sense at all
Anna"
"Okay
how about this, you are with someone and like him very much and
suddenly there is another person who you are supposed to love just as
much"
"What are you talking about? I'm not up to a threesome
if that's what you are suggesting"
"What? Are you crazy
that's not what I meant"
"Then just tell me, I'm not very
good at decrypting this girly talk"
"Okay I will just spit it
out then"
"Yes
please"
"No dumb explanations"
"Right"
"I'm
just going to say it"
"But you are not really saying it now
either"
"I'm pregnant!"
Ryan stopped talking, his eyes
grew bigger and his mouth slowly opened and was wide open.
"Really
cute there Ryan but I would prefer to hear some words"
"I
just… I did… You are… pregnant?"
"Right, very smart over
there huh?"
"But how?"
"How do people usually get
pregnant?"
"Yes of course but oh my god! I'm going to be a
father again" He got up and walked over to her and kneeled in front
of her and laid his hands on her stomach. "And you are going to be
a mommy!"
"Yeah I know I can hardly believe it. I never
thought of myself as a mom"
"You are going to be fine, I
promise"
They kissed each other and went in to the living room and lay down in the couch snuggling.
"This
was absolutely amazing Seth, you must be the best boyfriend
ever"
"Hey you called me Seth"
"Yeah so, that is your
name you know"
"Yeah but you only use it when you really love
me completely, otherwise you say Cohen"
"Maybe
so, I guess I love you so much now"
"Then you will probably
call me Seth for at least one week after this"
"After what?"
He got up and walked to the stage and grabbed the microphone, he nodded to the band and they started playing the intro to Bryan Adams Everything I Do I Do It For You.
"Oh my god! No, you are not going to do this"
She remembered it like yesterday when they saw Robin Hood and she told him how much she loved that song. It was before he left on his boat.
"Oh
this is so beautiful; she looks so good with Kevin Costner, but who
wouldn't"
"So you think he is sexy?"
"Yeah I guess I
do"
"Maybe
I should grow my hair out like him and start carrying a bow
then"
"Nah I don't think you will pull it off"
"I'm
pretty good with the bow you know, I practiced a lot when I were
younger"
"Well you could give it a shot sometime and try
it"
The credits came up and the song started.
"Oh
this song is so good, I love it so much"
"Yeah?"
"It
must be the greatest love songs of all time,"
"I will remember
that"
"What?"
"Oh nothing"
He must have remembered it. And now he started singing.
"Look in to my eyes, and you will see, what you mean to me
Search your heart, search your soul, and when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth trying for
You can't tell me it's not worth dying for
You know it's true
Everything I do I do it for you"
She looked deep in to his eyes as he sang, he was actually pretty good. She remembered some good times they had together.
She walked around; all the rich people were pretty nice. But she couldn't concentrate on that now. The only thing she could think about was Marissa's words earlier.
"You
like Seth Cohen"
But how could she do that? He was Seth Cohen.
But it was something special about him; he seemed to see right
through her. But now he was with that other girl Anna, there was
nothing wrong with her but she couldn't stand to see them together.
She looked for him and found him after a while she found him and grabbed him and then walked away. She took him down a level and then kissed him.
"What is going on?" He looked really confused.
"I like Seth Cohen!"
"What?"
"Nothing,
I wasn't talking to you. If you tell someone about this I will kill
you"
She walked off and she felt strange. She had never felt this way before; it felt like her whole body was evolving. He did something to her, something special.
The song was almost over and she felt that special again. He was the only one that could make her feel this way. He did magic to her or something.
You know it's true, everything I do oohh I do it for you
The guests at the restaurant started cheering and he seemed to enjoy it. He waved at the waiter who brought a big bouquet with roses in it to her. The feeling in her was overwhelming and tears started to create in her eyes.
"This
song was dedicated to the most beautiful and sweet person in the
world, my girlfriend Summer Roberts. I have loved her for all my life
and hopefully I will always do that. But if I'm going to do that,
then I don't understand why we can't go all the way"
He
turned to Summer and tried to forget everybody who was there watching
him.
"Summer
Roberts, I love you with all my heart and I think we are destined to
be together. I can't imagine a life without you, and I hope I will
never have to live in a life like that either. So if you are willing
to be with me for the rest of your life I would love to do the same
for you"
He walked to her and kneeled in front of her, from his
pocket he brought forward a little box and opened it, inside was a
big sparkling ring.
"Summer,
will you marry me?"
"Yes of course I will"
Tears were now
practically flowing down her cheeks but she didn't care, she loved
him so much and this was everything she wanted, the tears were
natural.
Suddenly the waiter started clapping his hands and more and more joined him and soon every person in the restaurant was standing up clapping and whistling at them. Summer giggled.
"Did you
like rent the cast from An Officer and a Gentleman?"
"No it
just came with the package I guess, I hope those are tears of joy by
the way"
"What do you think? I have never loved you this much
before Seth Ezekiel"
"Whoa this is getting scary, you add my
middle name when you get this?"
"No I just did that to freak
you out"
He kissed her and brought her up in his arms and swung
her around.
"So my
future husband, would you like to dance?"
"I would love to
dance, but not here, let's get out, my surprises are not done yet"
They both turned to the audience and bowed and then they walked out leaving a pretty generous tip to the waiter.
Outside a
white wagon drawn by one white horse and one brown.
"I couldn't
find a pink one so the white one had to do as a Princess Sparkle big
version"
"You are so perfect, Is there anyone out there who
are as special as you are?"
"I don't know, but if it is,
then he better keep his hands of you"
They got in to the wagon
and the horse began to walk forward. Next to the coachman a women
suddenly turned around with a violin in her hands. She started to
play for them and Summer blushed as she buried her head in Seth's
chest.
"So
where are we going now? It is kind of hard to top this you know"
"I
know but I have to try, don't I?"
"Yeah I will give you a
shot"
"There is something I want to tell you, something I think you have been wondering about but haven't been able to ask me. Why I went away on my boat that day"
"Why do
you want to talk about that now? If that is the way you are going to
top this with then I got to tell you, that it is not going to
work"
"It's just something you have to know, then I will
take you to our final destination and cheer you up again"
"Okay
so why did you go away?"
"Because of this"
"This?"
"I
thought about asking you to marry me, but I didn't know if I were
ready and I didn't know if you were ready. I needed some time to
think things through and that was why I went away"
"Oh?"
"I
didn't want to leave you like that because I saw I hurt you, but I
told Ryan to look after you when I was gone so you didn't freak
out. I guess I managed to drive you to that point anyway"
"It
wasn't your fault"
"Maybe you are right, but when I lay
there in the water all I could think about was you, I couldn't
believe I was so stupid that I went away and got myself killed when I
had you. That's when I realized I couldn't think of a life
without. So when I got back I decided that when things got eased up I
would do this the right way. So, now you know"
She cried again.
"Thank you! I think I needed to hear that, I love you so much Seth"
She threw herself at him and hugged him hard. "I love you more then
anything in the world"
"Good,
because I love you too. And now we can go to our final stop."
The
wagon stopped after a while near the beach and Seth took Summer and
carried her down the stairs and down to the sand. There he had let
Alex and some of her colleges build up a dance-floor where they could
dance.
"Oh my god! How much had this evening cost you?"
"Pretty
much, it's not something you can expect every weekend"
"Don't
worry I won't"
"So my
Mrs. Cohen-Roberts, would you care to dance?"
"I would love to
Mr. Cohen-Roberts"
They entered the dance floor and the DJ
started the record and then walked up the stairs to leave them alone.
They danced around slowly in each other's arms.
"But now
I fell like we should go down to the beach"
"Why?"
"You
know there is something I haven't told you. When Seth left, he had
a reason but he only told me. He was thinking about proposing to
Summer but he needed some time alone to think it through first. When
he was there he realized he wanted to share every minute of his life
with her. So tonight he took her out and proposed to her. He planned
a really big date for them, but he said they would end in on the
beach and he wanted us to join them"
She punched him on the arm.
"You couldn't have said anything about this earlier?"
"I
was kind of shocked about your revelation before. But now we can tell
them about out baby"
"Actually they already know about it, I
went to them for advice on how to tell you"
"Oh, wait, you
went to Seth for advice, desperate?"
"That's what everyone
keep telling me"
"But we
should go and meet them then"
They got up from the couch and
kissed, then they walked out of the room and the house and got in to
the car and drove towards the beach.
A minute later they parked and walked down the stairs, there they saw the lovely couple standing at the dance-floor. It looked like they tried to eat each other, in a cute way.
"Hey I
hope we are not interrupting the future married ones"
They
managed to get apart from each other and smiled at Ryan and Anna.
"No
worries, I'm glad you could make it, and congratulations to you too
by the way. On the father ship"
"Thanks man!"
They walked down nearer the water and sat down in the sand.
"So this
is how life turned out. I guess no one would have guessed this would
happen when Ryan first came to live with us"
"No things have
turned out kind of unexpected, but in a good way"
"Do you
think we will always be this happy?"
"I hope we will Summer"
They sat there holding each other in the evening. Things had turned out fine. Trouble would always be there but now they could face them together. The Fantastic Four was rebuilt. And this time it would not break. Or would it?
So that's all you get for now. I will work on a sequel but I think I will take that a while from now. I need a break from this story but it will come up. In the meantime I have just finished the first chapter in my new story The Chino Summer. Check that out if you want. And as always, Read and Review! I love you all and keep reading and I will keep writing! Thanks to all of you!
