Summary- A stormy weather might cause Summer to tell Seth the reason she broke off their engagement...or not. RM of course, with their own family.
Disclaimer- I don't own the oc, or it's characters, but I wished I owned something, anything, Ben's shirt, biceps, Seth's curly locks, Sandy's eyebrows, maybe not that last one, but anything.
A/N- I hope you guys like it. SS fans, this is for you, I tried my best to put as much as I could, but there's also RM (I just can't resist). I know a lot of people were worried that Summer called it off because she was cheating, or abortion,....guess you have to read to find out. I hope everyone likes it.
On with the story...
Seth looked out the window of the car, the rain was pouring like hell, it almost looked angry as it pounded on the car window. The roads were slippery and he was driving extra slow, just for precaution. He had just come back from Cindy's. Cindy wasn't a bad person, just a little too happy, at least for Seth. Seth wasn't into happy, hadn't been in a long time, ever since that fateful stormy day when Summer Roberts had broken his happy little heart.
Cindy had been one of many sk...ahem...girlfriends Seth had in the past few years since Summer called it off. Him and Summer tried to at lesat be civil, they knew Ryan and Marissa would invite them over all the time, so why not try it, at least they were around family.
They would watch Ryan and Marissa laugh, talk to, or scold the kids, and both were jealous, jealous that they couldn't have what they have and what they built, from scratch. Seth was glad he was getting close to home, finally put his mind to rest, or at least that's what he told himself.

Ryan was starting to snore, and he was spooned right up against Marissa. Marissa groaned, hoping he would stop, he didn't, just got more frequent. That was the bad thing about having sex; at least with Ryan; he would snore like a freight train. She tried to think of some other bad things about having sex with him, but couldn't come up with anything. She smiled as she looked over her shoulder, a slight smile was on his lips. She looked at the window, all she saw through the cream laced curtains was black, and all she heard was the rain dropping on the window, and Ryan's snoring.
As usual, Newport had it's strange weather some days, today was one of those days. Ryan snored a little louder and Marissa elbowed Ryan. His face squinted a little bit, but just turned around back to his side in peace. Marissa couldn't sleep, the rain had woken her up as well as Ryan's snoring, so she flipped on the lamp nearby which also woke up Ryan instantly.
He rubbed his eyes, trying to get the fuzziness out. "Is it morning?" he asked, still in a daze.
Marissa laughed and picked up the magazine by the lamp and started flipping through it. "Look outside," she told him and he did.
"I love rain," he mused, snuggling up to her. Marissa laughed again and lamely threw the magazine back to it's place and they cuddled closer to each other. Ryan began to leave sweet, short kisses on Marissa's neck as she let out a soft moan. She turned around to face him and raised a skeptical eyebrow. Ryan returned the gesture by kissing her passionately. This continued for a while, until lightning struck and there was four girly shrieks heard throughout the Atwood house. Ryan and Marissa pulled back and smiled at each other, then looked towards the door; no noises.
She was going to check on the kids, but Ryan held her back and pulled her back in bed with a tender kiss. She smiled and kissed him back, until they heard lightning again and this time they heard footsteps stomping their way.
Marissa ruffled Ryan's hair, putting it back into it's normal position. The door swung open and there stood Connor and Emily, Emily with her teddy and Connor with his blue blanket. Smiles came on to their faces as they ran to Ryan and Marissa's bed, and started shouting things about how scared they were and such.
Lightning struck again and Riley came running through the halls and jumped on their bed as well, joining the twins.
Seconds later, Jake was walking fast and he came walking fast into the room.
"I...uh...just heard...thought..."
Marissa waved him over. He sat down next to Riley.
"Wimp!" she called out to him.
"Shut up!" Jake yelled.
"I'm sure Kayla would love to hear that her Jakey poo goes in his parents' bedroom when he's scared of the dark," Riley continued agonizing him in a childlike voice. She started again but the lightning struck again and she screamed again, which shut her up.
"Guess it's gonna be a long night?" Ryan asked as the twins jumped up, clapping with excitement.

Summer looked at the phone, pondering to call him or not. She was alone and needed someone there with her, pulling out the tangles in her hair. She could just say she was scared, or make soemthing up; but she knew the real reason; to find out if he still cared and loved her the same way she did for him. She quickly dialed the number; remembering itby heart.
Seth was just a few blocks from his apartment, he couldn't wait to go home, and get off these slippery roads. Just then, his cell phone rang. Ah, shit, that better not be Cindy, I told her, no more, not even a one night stand, Seth thought as he looked at the call display. He didn't recognize the number, but picked up anyways.
"Hello?" he answered. "Be there soon," he replied, trembling and made a huge u-turn and sped to her house, he was glad that there was no traffic and the slippery roads seemed nothing to him anymore.

Emily was playing with Ryan's nose and picking it while she was in his arms and Connor watched, amused, and shortly after started to do the same thing with Marissa. Riley and Jake were having their own bickering debate about how they could blackmail each other, and who knew enough dirt about the other and who would spill it first.
"I'm bored!" Riley exclaimed, looking away from Jake, annoyed. Ryan threw her a look. "What? I am. Lover boy over here isn't interesting as he was when he wasn't in love," she told them.
Marissa's eyes widened slightly, and looked up from Connor at Jake. "You love her?" she asked, her tone becoming more softer. Jake shrugged.
"I love you, whas so dif'rent?" Emily asked, taking her hands out of Ryan's nose.
"I love you too," Ryan told her, "but Mommy is talking about a different kind of love."
"What kinda love?" Connor asked.
"This kind of love is..." Ryan started and looked at Marissa, slowly taking her free hand. Jake saw this and started groaning and was followed by Riley who said, "Please, you guys! Mom, Dad, right here! PDA is not accaptable, especially not in front of us."
Jake hit her arm, "That isn't PDA, dork! But I mean how would you know, you only fantasize about it, kissing Jordan." He started making smooching noises in the air.
"Shut up!" she yelled at him, "I have too kissed a boy, one of your friends in fact!" Ryan's eyes darted towards her and narrowed. She quickly regretted saying what she had while Ryan just stared at her, waiting for an answer. Before Riley could defend herself, Emily jumped in.
"Ewwwwwww! Boys have cooties! And they're nasty, and they smell funny."
Connor fought back before she could say anything else. "Na- uh! Girls smell funny, and they have big cooties." And before you knew it, they were fighting, and Jake and Riley jumped in.
Ryan looked over at Marissa who was staring at him and squeezed his hand, as if to say, 'I love you', and Ryan squeezed it back, verbally saying, 'I love you too'. They looked at their kids, trying to make out their conversations.

Seth knocked rapidly on the door. She finally opened it, only to find him with his hair drenched and his curly locks almost straighetned, and his clothes somewhat soaked. She ran into his arms, hugging him tightly.
"Thank you," she whispered in his ear.
"Anything for you Summer," he whispered back.
She led him to the bathroom and gave him a pair of pants and one of his shirts she had from when they were together.
He gratefully accapted and went to change. When he came out from the bathroom, he saw her trying to brush out the tangles in her hair. He went over there, dropping his wet clothes nearby and took the brush from her hand and threw it on the coffee table and smoothed the tangles with his hands.
"Thanks," she said, embracing him again. They sat on the couch, only a few dim lights able to be seen. Summer cuddled up closer to Seth, and looked up at him. She needed to tell him, her breaths were becoming heavier. Seth noticed this; "Are you okay?"
"Seth, I need...I need to tell you something."
"Okay, whatever it is, you can tell me," he said pushing her closer to himself.
Summer tried to find the right words, but her brain came up short. Which is a sign, she thought.
"Thanks," she repled simply, but still truthfully. She would tell him another day. Seth nodded and held her closer and moments later, she lay fast asleep in his arms, and he quickly drifted off after her.

Ryan was becoming tired watching his kids fight as was Marissa. Soon enough, the twins finally got to sleep, in between Ryan and Marissa, Riley at the foot of the bed, and even though Jake said he wanted to go sleep in his own room, the twins begged him to stay and he did, also at the foot of the bed, opposite side with Riley. After seeing all their children fall asleep in front of their own eyes, they too fell asleep, finally after a tiring day, or days. Wink, wink.
A/NWell SS fans, I tried to put them in there as much as I could, but I'm more of an r/m gal myself, and I don't know why I call myself a gal, I'm not even from the south, from the north.
