A/N- Kay, so this chapters basically Summer and Seth finding out the gender of the baby. I know it's probably been done about a ton of times but I needed to put it in. Theres also some RM in here too

Chapter 28

Marissa, Ryan, Seth and Summer were back in LA and college. It was the day Summer was scheduled to find out the gender of the baby. Seth had gone out, but she needed him to go with her to the doctors. She tried calling his cell, but he had it switched off. So, Summer thought she would try her luck by seeing if he was at Marissa's and Ryan's.

"Hey Coop," Summer said when Marissa opened the door.

"Hey Sum…I bet you're looking for Seth. He's in here," Marissa said. Summer swept passed her to spot Seth and Ryan playing an intense game on PS2.

"Geez Cohen! You are such a child! You came over here because you wanted to play PS2?" Summer screeched. "I have to be at a doctors appointment in oh- 10 minutes!"

"Sorry Sum. But I needed to play with someone," Seth said, not taking his eyes off the screen. Summer had enough. She pulled the cords out of the TV, the game flicking off.

"HEY!" Seth yelped. "I was winning."

"Gosh, you are like, so eight years old!" Summer sighed. "Sorry Ryan for making you play with him. Sorry Coop for barging in."

"It's okay," Marissa and Ryan said at the same time.

"Cohen, we have to go NOW! I cannot be late for this appointment," Summer said impatiently, pulling him out the door. "Bye Coop! Bye Ryan!" She called halfway down the hall.

When they got to the clinic, Seth was still upset that Summer had ruined his game. They were arguing over it when they were waiting for the doctor to come in.

"Sum, I was totally winning. And you just HAD to ruin it," Seth tried to explain but Summer didn't seem to care.

"I don't care Cohen! I care that I find out the gender of my baby! I cannot believe you went out to play some Xbox with Ryan," Summer said in a tight voice.

"It's PS2," Seth interjected.

"Whatev," Summer shot back. Just then, the doctor came in.

"Sorry to interrupt," she said. "I'm Dr. Selma Harwell. And you are Summer Roberts?"

"Yeah, that's me," Summer said. Suddenly she was nervous. She of course never had an ultra sound done before and she didn't know what to expect. Dr. Harwell looked at Seth.

"And you must be the father," she said.

"Yup that's me," Seth replied. "Father of little baby Roberts-Cohen." Dr. Harwell smiled. She held out a robe.

"Here Summer, I'm going to ask you to put this on. I'll be back in a few minutes so I can give you time to change," she said warmly, leaving the room. Summer took the robe out of the plastic and grimaced.

"Ew!" she said in the typical Summer way. "She expects me to wear this?"

"Sum, its so the sticky goo doesn't go on your clothes," Seth explained.

"How do you know?" Summer asked.

"My mom told me. I tried to get her to stop, but she just went on about the stuff they do at these things. It kind of creeped me out," Seth said. Summer sighed and started taking off her clothes, everything but her undergarments and slipped the robe over her head.

"Ew," she said again. There was a knock on the door and Dr. Harwell appeared.

"Here Summer, have a seat," the doctor said. Summer obeyed, going over and sitting on the chair. Dr. Harwell leaned the chair back a bit while Summer looked around the office trying to figure out what was going to happen.

"What's that?" Summer asked pointing to the TV. "Is that where I'll see the baby?"

"The baby will appear on the screen, yes," Dr. Harwell responded. She started applying the sticky goop stuff, but it was cold and made Summer squirm. Once finished with the goop, Dr. Harwell turned the monitor on and soon enough an image appeared on screen. It didn't look that focused, but they could just make out the outline of the baby.

"Is that the baby?" Summer asked, her voice barely above a whisper. She couldn't believe that there was an actual person inside of her.

"Yes, this is your baby. It looks healthy," Dr. Harwell said. "Do you want to know the sex of the baby or do you want to keep it a surprise for the birth?"

"We want to know," Seth spoke up. It was the first time he talked since Dr. Harwell had been back in the room.

"Well congratulations. I'm happy to say that you're baby is a girl," Dr. Harwell announced. Summer felt her spirits rise. She was having a girl! Someone she could go shopping with, go to the spa with, swap boy gossip.

"It was nice meeting you Summer. I'll see you next month for another checkup," Dr. Harwell said and left the room. Summer started to get dressed. When she was finished she looked up at Seth and realized that they both had tears in their eyes.

"We're having a girl," Summer whispered.

"I know. Words can't even describe the fact that I'm so happy," Seth said, embracing her. "She's going to take after her mother. She's going to be a little princess."

"I get to go shopping with her. Going to the spa with her. And swapping boy gossip," Summer said. "I can't believe it."

"Believe it," Seth replied smiling.

"When I saw her on the monitor it suddenly hit me that there was an actual live person inside of me. It was like…wow," Summer said. They were now in the elevator going down to the garage to get their car so they could go home.

"I know what you mean. Gosh Sum, I've only been dreaming about this my whole life. This is like surreal for me," Seth explained.

"For me too," Summer said, looking at him affectionately.

"I love you Sum," Seth said sincerely.

"I love you too Seth," Summer said, kissing him.

Marissa jumped at the sound of the telephone. It was probably Summer since she had promised to call as soon as she found out what the gender of the baby was.

"Sum? Is that you?" Marissa asked, picking up the phone and sitting on the couch. She motioned for Ryan to turn the volume down on the TV.

"Yeah it's me," Summer replied. She sounded happy.

"Okay, so spill. I need to know now!" Marissa demanded.

"We're having a girl!" Summer cried.

"Yay! We can take her shopping!" Marissa exclaimed, happy for her best friend.

"And we can go to the spa with her. And swap boy gossip! It was so amazing seeing her on the screen. It actually hit me that there was an actual human inside of me," Summer explained. "God, I'm just so happy right now."

"I'm so happy for you Sum. I know you've always wanted to have a girl…I'm so happy it worked out for you," Marissa said sincerely.

"Thanks Coop. You better talk to Ryan. I think little baby Roberts-Cohen has to have a play mate and best friend," Summer joked.

"Haha very funny, Sum," Marissa replied.

"Well I'm kind of serious. I mean, don't you ever feel like you want to have kids with Ryan? Like I know when I first found out about my pregnancy that I was having a breakdown. But its okay now. Because I can take online courses for college. Plus Cohen offered to take a year off with me to help me with the baby. When I go back to college, Kirsten offered to look after the baby as did my dad. So its all good. Don't you ever want that with Ryan?" Summer asked. Marissa thought about this. Sure she had thought about it. But now that Summer was pregnant and with a girl, Marissa started to want a baby more than ever.

"Yeah, I guess your right. Uh, I'm gonna go talk to Ryan if that's okay. I think we have to sort our dreams out," Marissa said. Ryan, hearing his name, looked over and turned the TV off.

"Okay Coop. Cohen and I are going out to dinner to celebrate. I'll call you later," Summer promised.

"Yeah, or you and Seth can come over after your dinner," Marissa suggested.

"I'll run the idea by him. Talk to you later, Coop," Summer said.

"Bye," Marissa replied and hung up.

"So…is it a boy or a girl?" Ryan asked.

"Girl. Summer's thrilled," Marissa replied. "So listen. I think we should talk about the future. Our dreams and stuff."

"Okay. I guess its about time we had this discussion," Ryan replied.

"Well the other night I told you I wanted 3 kids, live in a big house, have dogs and cats. But I never really knew what you wanted because you've never told me. I might not have asked but still. So I'm asking now. Does the idea of kids ever come to your mind?" Marissa asked.

"Well ever since the whole Theresa thing I've been a bit confused about where I stand with kids. But that was practically two years ago, so I guess now it seems like a better idea," Ryan agreed.

"Have you ever thought of the idea of us having kids?" Marissa asked hopefully.

"Yeah…yeah I have actually," Ryan said, nodding his head.

"Really, you have?" Marissa asked her hopes rising.

"Don't tell anyone about this, especially not Seth or Summer cause I'll never hear the end of it, but I've kind of wanted to have a boy to teach him soccer and stuff. And a girl who would be daddy's girl, someone I could spoil," Ryan explained, turning slightly pink.

"Really? That's so cute," Marissa said. "Its just that, when you proposed, I've been thinking about when really we would be able to try to have a baby but the situation never came up that often. Now with Summer pregnant and having a girl, its like it might not sound so bad."

"Well…we could try for a baby if you…uh, you know, want to," Ryan stammered.

"Really Ryan? Oh thank you!" Marissa kissed him.

"But what about college? We're only in our first year," Ryan pointed out, but Marissa already had an answer for that.

"Summer and Seth are taking a year off and are going to take online courses. We could do the same," Marissa suggested.

"If it's what you really want," Ryan said.

"But is it also what you want?" Marissa asked.

"Yes, of course. Why wouldn't I want to have kids with the women of my heart?" Ryan answered. Marissa beamed.

"I love you Ryan," she said sincerely.

"Love you too Rissa," he replied, leaning in and kissing her.

So, I was thinking that I will wrap up this story soon. Like I will fast forward through to SS wedding and when Summer has the baby and then Marissa and Ryan's wedding and Marissa having a baby or something.

I have 2 ideas for projects I can write after this story is done. I need you to tell me which one you prefer:

1) Takes place after season 1 finale. Summer is pissed off that Seth left and when he comes back promises herself never to talk to him again. She wants to get over him asap and Seth wants to try to get over her. So Marissa and Ryan give them each others screen names and Seth and Summer talk online, but they don't know who they're talking to.

OR

2) Takes place after season 2 finale. future fic. Summer and Ryan had gotten together over the years as have Seth and Marissa. But both couples are getting bored with one another. When they meet again for a family gathering, will old pairings go back to the way they were?

Tell me which one you want me to write first!

And review!

Thanks
