The wedding date was fast approaching and tension was reaching everyone and making them more stressful. Today was the wedding rehearsal, which meant they all, had to get ready to leave.
School was causing even more stress for Summer and Seth. Seth wanted her to go but she was 50/50 on the issue.
"Hey Cohen. This one or this one?" She asked holding up a short blue dress and a medium length orange one.
"Why am I the person who picks what you wear? I thought you hate what I wear."
'"Pick."
"Why don't you just wear like a pair of jeans and a nice top? It's not fancy tonight." Summer seemed to consider this and chose to go with his idea. 5 minutes later she came out in jeans and a bra holding up 2 choices of tops.
The front door to the pool house opened and Sandy walked in.
"I should really learn to knock. I've heard 3 times the charm though." Sandy said apologizing.
"Don't worry, Mr. Cohen. I'm dressed." Summer replied.
"But you're just wearing a bra. That's not dressed."
"You see bikini clad woman on the beach everyday. What's the difference?"
"Wait dad. What if it's 3 strikes and you're out kind of deal. Next time you could walk in on us having sex. You never know dad. You should knock." Seth said meticulously.
"Or you should learn to lock it. Sorry Summer again. I just came by to tell you guys we are leaving in about 10 minutes so be ready."
"Ok dad. We're on it. Summer's almost half done." Seth joked.
"Funny, son funny."
"I know I am. Always have been."
Sandy left and Summer picked up the choices again.
"We should get like this huge lock so like no one can ever get in."
"Than how would we get in, Cohen. Pick." He pointed at the lavender one with small flowers on the border.
"No see we would have this magnetic thing on our clothes that would recognize us and let us in."
"That's a stupid idea, Cohen. Someone might steal our clothes and come in."
"Good point." Seth said again, his mind reeling with the next thing he was going to say.
"We better go into the living room and wait for them." Summer announced, fitting the top over her swelling breasts.
"Cohen this top is too small. Grab me the other one."
"This isn't a maternity. Why aren't you wearing it?"
"Because all of those look ugly. Nothing cute." He handed her the other one and it fit but was really tight.
"Damn boobs."
"You don't hear that very often." Seth replied.

The whole family arrived 5 minutes late but many other people were also late so they weren't in any trouble. Summer had ended up wearing one of her maternity shirts that she really didn't like. Seth thought she looked good anyways.
"Ok. Let's get into our bride maids/ groomsmen paring." Julie announced.
They were in luck. Ever since the other groomsmen dropped out and Seth came in, they were paired together, they got to walk down the aisle together.
Julie was giving directions to other couples when Seth stuck a kiss with Summer.
"Seth! Summer!" Julie called out. "We don't need baby number 2 before baby number 1 arrives."
They stopped and Summer blushed. Julie had this wicked way about her that it made anything she said sound evil.
"Sorry." Seth whispered into her ear. She nodded.
The run through had gone fine and then the entire group went out for dinner. The food was so-so but the company was nice. The evening went through with ease and delight and finally they got to go home.
"Cohen. Do you ever think we will get married?" Summer asked out of the blue as she was getting ready for bed.
"Maybe." Seth answered, his head in the latest comic book out.
"Do you want to?"
"Mmmmm." Seth returned, not really paying attention. Summer turned off the overhead light and scooted next to Seth. His lamp was on and he kept on reading.
TBC.
