Summer sat in her car. She had just came from the doctors.

Adoption? That was a real possibility.

But how could she do that to Seth. But maybe he would want that. A kind loving family taking care of their kid. Even though they wouldn't have any rights to it, at least it wasn't going to be raised by teenage parents or parent as Summer came to realize. What if Seth never came back and she had to do it all alone. Adoption sounded good to her.

But what if family was strict and mean. She couldn't take the baby out of their hands after the adoption was final. He or she would live a miserable life.

Summer's head was spinning from all of the possibilities. "To be or not to be"

Seth sat in the waiting area to board a plane to the John Wayne airport.

He didn't know if he could actually go and talk to his family but maybe he could go and just check in on his girlfriend. He was just totally torn.

He had to pick between the two and soon. Summer and stupid OC or his freedom and not having Summer.

He loved Summer but he couldn't decide whether if he went back to stay, would he just leave the next summer or even sooner after he came to realize he hated the place he was living.

"Flight 153 is now boarding." Came over the speakers. Seth suddenly began sweating; he wasn't sure if could actually board.

Ryan was getting this odd feeling about the house. Kirsten and Sandy had tighten up a lot; at first Ryan attributed it to Seth being gone but that was not the case anymore.

As he walked into the kitchen he noticed Seth's parents in deep conversation.

"I'm telling you Sandy we have to confront-- " Kirsten stopped mid-sentence as she noticed Ryan in the hall.

"Hi Ryan. Would you like any breakfast. New muffins?." Kirsten quickly got out of her chair and walked over to Ryan.

"No Thanks. I think I want to go and see if I can get a job around here." Ryan said easily.

"Really, a job?" Sandy piped in.

"Yeah, it's been awhile since my last job. I thought it was time."

"Ok. Well good luck." Kirsten said as she walked out of the kitchen giving Sandy a nod to follow her after Ryan left.

Ryan knew something was up but he knew better then to butt in.
