Author's Note: Next week starting Saturday( I think that's the 11th; I'm not quite sure) I am leaving to go to summer camp in Missouri. I live in AZ. I'm going to be gone for two weeks and then I'm coming home for 2 days and then I'm off to Green Bay Wisconsin! You might know where this is going… I am going to be there for about a month then I come home and start my Sophomore year of High School. I'm hoping I can update as soon as I can but for the 2 weeks at camp I can't so SORRY! I just wanted to let you know.
Seth stood in the middle of the room stunned. He had just talked to her this morning. She got pregnant since then?
"Wh.. What?" He asked. Ryan was as clueless as Seth. Wouldn't he had found out if Kirsten and Julie had known?
Kirsten and Julie's faces both frowned. Julie looked kind of proud to be the bearer of bad news but she kept quiet. Seth finally took his eyes off of his mother's concerned face and conveyed the living room. Clothes were strewed everywhere. Piles and piles of shirts and pants and tens of bags lay around.
Was this the product of his mother and Summer's shopping event. Wait… where was Summer? She was going to have dinner with them tonight. She said so.
His first question of 'what' still wasn't answered and Kirsten and Julie weren't talking.
"Summer's pregnant? Someone better tell me what's going on. Where is she?" Seth said, still absolutely confused.
"She's not here, Seth."
"Could you be anymore vague?"
"She's not coming for dinner."
"Ok. You did it. You were more vague. And that's not funny."
"Seth, go talk to her." Kirsten said, quickly.
"How can I? I don't know where she is! She could be abducted by aliens and all I get is 'she's not coming to dinner!'"
"Seth calm down."
"No! The Aliens Got Her!"
"Seth this isn't a laughing matter."
"I know that." He stopped and hesitated. " Is she?" Seth asked, thrusting his hand through his hair.
"Pregnant?" Kirsten paused and looked at his son. She nodded and he closed his eyes. "Go talk to her."
"Stupid question, but is it mine?"
Kirsten nodded again. "Go talk to her."
Seth headed towards to front door and grabbed the keys from the dish. "I'm taking your car!"

The first 45 minutes were spent cleaning the kitchen and talking about Seth coming back and how she spent the night in his bed and Kirsten at the mall. After a brief discussion about that, they decided to go upstairs to Summer's room. The kitchen was already clean. And plus they were bored there.
"I can't believe Kirsten said that to you!"
"I know. She always was such a cool mom, but she really went crazy."
Marissa paused. "What are you going to do now. I mean with Seth and the baby. Are you going to keep it?"
"First I'm going to take a shower. Then I'm going to think about the rest of it with you after I get out. Deal?"
"Deal. Can I go on your laptop and check out baby names. Just for the fun of it?"
"Sure. Pick out the cutest ones."
"Got it. You don't know if it's a girl or boy yet. Right?"
"Yep. Ok. I'm going."
"See you soon."
10 minutes later.
Summer came out in her 2 piece duck pajamas and was trying to tie her hair back into a ponytail.
"I finally feel clean." Marissa was hooked onto the computer screen and didn't hear her.
"Coop!"
She turned around. "What?"
"Come here."
"But I'm looking at this. Isn't Elisha such a cute name for a girl. Or Ezekiel for a boy?"
"That's Seth's middle name and yes come over here."
"Fine."
Marissa walked over to her and Summer lifted up the bottom of her pajama shirt.
"Look Coop. Do you see that little dent. That's the baby. Well, I think it is. I've thrown up everything else that could have made it. Put your hand on it."
"It's not going to move." Marissa said.
"So. It's my baby." Summer said, frowning. She had loved watching Fool's Rush In. She loved that movie and watched it hundreds of times. It had the couple who had a baby but never could really ge it together until the end. They were so different; from 2 different places.
"Does that mean you're going to keep it?"
"I don't know. It's so hard."
"I guess I now know how Theresa felt."
"Yep." Summer groaned.
"How about for the last bit before Senior year starts, we leave on a road trip."
Summer's eyes glittered. "Where?"
"Who cares! Just us in my car and just drive. Stop at fancy hotels and eat takeout."
"Awesome Coop. But lets pick a destination. For fun."
"Portland."
"Sounds good!"
"Road trip!" They both shouted.
"When do we leave?" Summer asked.
"How 'bout now! I just have to stop and get some stuff like clothes etc.
You pack and I'll pick you up in about 20 minutes. Ok?"
"Super!"
