One Summer Chapter 54
Author's Note- I don't know doctor protocol or any medical talk etc. I was born at home and even then I was too young to remember what happened. LOL So sorry if I get stuff wrong. I'm 14 and I never had a kid or brother or sister!
A MILLION and ONE THANKS To Bfan2good4u ! She spent the whole night reviewing! She is so nice! Thanks!
A huge shout out to everybody else who has reviewed! I love you all!
The car ride to the hospital was just plain nerve-racking. Summer had her eyes closed the whole time while Marissa chatted to her about Sum's favorite show, The Valley, just to make Summer feel calm.
"Thanks Coop." Summer said quietly after Marissa had finished. "That helped."
"Good."
Summer laid back on the seat and quietly waited for them to arrive at the hospital.
Kirsten had already called Dr Muffin (LOL, I know) and she was on her way.
Seth was tapping his foot impatiently on the floor waiting for them to arrive. He was excited for this to happen and yet he was nervous. They were definitely contradicting each other.
Sandy sped into the drop off and they all piled out. Seth held Summer's hand as they walked into the building. Kirsten went ahead of them and told the nurse the information the hospital needed.
After about 5 minutes Kirsten and a nurse walked over to Seth and Summer who were sitting on the waiting room couch along with the rest of the gang.
"Okay, Summer you can follow me." The middle-aged nurse instructed.
Summer followed and so did Seth. "Are you the father?" The nurse asked.
"Yes."
"Okay, just making sure. I'm Abby by the way. Summer you can just go in there for a moment while I'll get a gown for you. After that we'll see what's happening." She left and Seth walked over to Summer who sat at the edge of the bed.
"I'm scared." Summer announced simply.
"I know. I am too. But you know what?" Seth asked and Summer shook her head.
"What?"
"We are there for each other and we'll get through this and when we do we'll have this baby with us. Our baby." She smiled at him and she rubbed his hand. Suddenly she stopped and clenched her fists.
"Owww. Oww. Oww. Oww." She moaned as another pain hit her and then went away after a tiny bit.
"You are okay Summer." He hugged her and then the nurse came back in.
"Ok Summer. You can put this on and Dr Muffin will be in shortly." Summer nodded and began undressing.
"Help please." Seth moved and lifted her shirt off and helped take off her skirt. Then he helped with the yucky gown she hated.
"There you go. You look beautiful." He kissed her on the nose and smiled.
Dr. Muffin opened the door and came into the room.
"Hello Summer, Seth." She greeted kindly. "I hear that you've been feeling some uneasiness and pain so I'm just going to go take a look. See if you are in labor."
Summer sat on the bed and watched Seth look at the ground.She knew he hated this part and he would never look up.
"Well, you're in labor. Congratulations. Rest up. It won't be for a while." Dr. Muffin left and Seth looked over at Summer who looked shocked.
"We're having a baby!" Seth grinned.
"I'm having a baby." Summer repeated calmly.
"That's what I meant." Seth corrected. "Do you want me to bring in my parents and Marissa?"
"Sure."
"Ok then. Be right back." He left and within a couple minutes he came back with them all.
"Hi Sum!" Marissa ran over and hugged her. "This is it. I told you." She smiled happily. "You are having a baby!"
"Yes I am. But it's going to take a while. I'm not that far along."
"Well, we'll be here the whole time supporting you." Kirsten announced, patting Summer on her leg.
"Yeah Kiddo. We won't leave you." Sandy replied, grinning. "I'm going to be a grandpa!"
"And I'm going to be a Grandma!" Kirsten exclaimed giddily.
"I don't know how I'm related. Great aunt?" Marissa asked confused. Summer shrugged.
"I've tried." Summer acknowledged.
" Well, anyways. We just stopped by to tell you how much we love you. Can't wait to find out if it's a girl or boy!" Kirsten explained. "We'll be back soon. We have to go see what's happened at the party and pick Ryan up."
"Hey Mom, can you drop me off at our house? I have to pick up some stuff for Summer. Marissa you can stay with Summer while I'm gone. Is that ok?" Everyone nodded to his or her parts and so the Cohen's left while Marissa and Summer stayed.
"So Coop. What's up?"
"My best friend's having a baby!"
" Really! Who?" Summer feigned surprise.
"Well, she has long brown hair- brown eyes, 5'2ish, has a cute boyfriend… I wonder who?"
"I asked you." Summer stated simply.
"I'm not even going to answer that."
"Fine."
They sat in a comfortable silence until another contraction hit her.
"It's almost over. Good girl." Marissa held onto Summer's hand until it was finished and Summer was exhausted.
"I thought they didn't hurt as much when it was early in the process?" Summer sighed in discomfort.
"I don't know. Aren't they supposed to hook you up to lots of machines or something?"
"Who knows?" Summer shrugged. "Don't remind them. I'm perfectly fine as it is."
"Ok."
"So where's your boyfriend?"
"Oh my gosh! I left him there!" Marissa shrieked loudly, tearing out her cell phone and started to dial his number. A nurse came in.
"Is everything all right in here?"
"I'm sorry. We are fine." Summer apologized and the nurse nodded and left.
"Ok." Marissa looked embarrassed but continue to dial. "Oh I'm so sorry. You are still there? … I'm so sorry…yes…aha…totally… see you tomorrow."
"He was still there?" Summer asked surprised.
"Yeah." Marissa laughed. "He's not that smart sometimes.
"Who is?" They both erupted into a fit of giggles.

5 hours later.
Summer was trying to get some rest when the door opened and she heard someone come in. She opened one eye and saw Seth snoozing in the chair next to her but she also saw a nurse come in.
"Hi." She greeted.
"Hello Summer. I'm Megan. I'm sorry to wake you. I wanted to know if you'd like some water or ice chips?"
"Ice chips please."
"Okay, I'll get them." Seth stirred in his chair and sat up.
"Hey." He greeted, still sleepy. "Everything ok?"
"I'm Fine. How much longer do you think it's going to take?"
"I'm not sure. Soon hopefully."
"Yeah. So..."
"Where is everybody?"
"My mom and dad took Ryan, and Marissa out for something to eat so they aren't here. And I'm here with you."
"I could tell that dumbass."
"Hey!"
"Sarcasm doesn't work on a pregnant girl, Cohen."
"I got your point. I was trying to lower the sarcasm anyway these last couple weeks. I could tell you weren't into it."
"Good for you." A huge contraction hit and she now realized she was hooked up to a couple machines. She struggled through it softly, not having the energy to make noise.
"I'm tired, Cohen. Bring me home to our nice comfy bed." She moaned as it was finally over.
"Sorry sweets. Can't. You are going to have a baby."
"Can't that wait." Summer pouted, her bottom lip protruding.
"Nope."
"Darn."

3 hours later.
"COHEN! IT HURTS!" She screamed into the room as a powerful contraction hit her and she dug her fingernails into the sheets. "I'M NEVER SLEEPING WITH YOU AGAIN!"
Seth knew better then say anything. She was angry and in pain and she was hating him right now for knocking her up.
"It's okay. You are fine."
"I'M NOT FINE! I'M IN PAIN AND MY BACK HURTS! DON'T TALK ABOUT PAIN! YOU SHOULD TRY THIS FOR ONCE!" She definitely was hormonal but the good thing was she was almost to the pushing stage of labor.
"Ok. I can't do that but I'm here for you. Pull my hair if you want or pinch me. Anything to make you feel better, Sum."
Summer lay in the bed; sweat dampening her forehead and hair. Her small hands clenched on the edge of the bed; her knuckles turned white.
She had been in this state for a while now and she was getting sick of it. Ryan was afraid to go in there and Marissa was in the process of chickening out.
Dr. Muffin entered the room.
"Hello Summer!" She smiled and looked at her chart. "You're having a baby!"
"People keep telling me that." Summer groaned and Dr. Muffin laughed.
"How 'bout I take another look and see what's happening."
2 other nurses filtered about the room and were making Seth nervous.
"Well, Summer! Guess what. I think it's time to roll. You've finally dilated 10 centimeters and I say we can get ready to push." The 2 other nurses walked over and brought different things by her.
Seth stood up and held Summer's hand.
"Summer, I can't believe this is happening. We're going to have a little baby soon. Thank you." Seth smiled at her and gave her a peck on the lips. She looked close to tears.
"Okay Summer. Start pushing as soon as you feel the next contraction. Seth I want you to count to ten as she pushes ok?"
"Ok." They both said in unison and Summer took a deep breath.
"Summer start pushing!" The woman doctor instructed and Summer pushed.
"1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10." Seth counted as Summer squeezed the life out of his hand since she was gripping it as she pushed.
"Good Summer! Do it again for the next one Ok. Seth keep doing what you're doing."
"Go."
"1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10."
"Excellent pushes! Only a coupe more and the baby will be here to greet you!"
Summer took a great big huge breath and she was told to push again.
"1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10."
"I see the head."
Summer grinned at Seth who looked over whelmed.
"One more big push and you get to meet baby Cohen!" The doctor announced.
"Start!"
"1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10." It was over; Summer couldn't believe it. She had just given birth!
"Congratulations guys! Summer you did awesome! Well, looky-here! Meet your new daughter!" The nurse held the baby over Summer's legs and dangled the baby for a moment before they went and cleaned her off.
Summer gasped and Seth leaned over and hugged her. They had a baby girl.
TBC!
Next Chap soon! Meet their baby; what's the name? Seth has one more surprise in store (Fluff)
Review!
I'm almost to my goal and I'm elated and giggling! LOL
