Chapter 6-

Zach stared in awe at his girlfriend, Summer, and his friend, Seth Cohen. He slowly backed away towards the door, watching the two sleep soundly. He hit a desk, trying to back out of the room without making much noise. He looked over at it and saw that on the desk was a FIRST CHOICE PREGNANCY TEST. He gasped.

Summer was pregnant.

Now the only question was, with who?

Ryan dressed himself for that night's annual Children's Hospital's Benefit Ball. Marissa lay on his bed, watching him. She smiled and stood, still stark naked. "I've got to get home to change."

"What are you going to tell your mom about the ring?"

Marissa glanced down at the gift Ryan had given her when he asked her to marry him. "Oh..I'll hide it or something. Until next week end." She winked at him and embraced her fiancee. "I'll see you tonight."

Ryan smiled. "Meet me in the bathroom on the third floor."

Sandy walked into his bedroom and began to undress so that he could take his bath. Kirstin walked in and glanced up at him. "Were you with her?" she asked.

"Rachel? I saw her today. We were discussing her case."

"I'm sure," said Kirstin angrily. She walked into the bathroom and slammed the door. This was not working out at all.

Summer lay beside Seth. She woke first. She glanced over at her lover and kissed him on the cheek. She had to tell Zach. She had to–And that was when she looked up and saw that Zach was sitting on a recliner in the corner of her room. She gasped and then stood quickly. "Zach!" she cried. "What are you—"

"I came to check on you, Summer. But I guess that I don't need to any more. You've found some one to satisfy all of your needs." Zach stood and turned to walk out of the room.

"Zach, wait!" Summer turned to see that Seth was awake. He yawned and stood to walk towards her. She glanced from him to Zach. Now was the time that she had to make a decision. It was now or never.

Kirstin turned to answer the ringing phone. "Hello," she said. "This is Kirstin. WHAT! They found Lindsay?"

Summer turned and looked at Seth. She had made her choice. She knew what she must do. She turned and ran around the bed towards Zach. "Zach, wait! Wait!"

Zach turned around and sharply snapped, "What!"

"Zach, I am so sorry that you had to find out this way, but I love Cohen. I have always loved Cohen, and if I stay with you...nothing would be real. Nothing is real between us." She turned and ran back into her room. "Seth!" she smiled and kissed him hard on the lips. "I love you."

Marissa sat at her vanity, putting on her face, when she heard the door open behind her. "Mom?" she said, turning around. But it wasn't her mom. There stood Alex. Alex ran up to her.

"I'm so glad you're okay!" she cried, and leaned in and kissed Marissa on the lips.
