Chapter 30
Summer couldn't be happier. Her and Seth's wedding was absolutely perfect. She loved everyone's speeches especially her dad's. She couldn't believe how well he was taking this because she remembered a time when he didn't like Seth at all.
"Hey Coop," Summer said through the speaker on her cell phone.
"Hey Sum. What's up?" Marissa asked.
"Nothing really. I am so fat though its not even funny. I can't wait to get the baby out of my body," Summer said.
"Well it'll be soon," Marissa said.
"What are you and Ryan up to?" Summer asked.
"Uh…nothing much…." Marissa trailed off.
"Sure Coop. So since you aren't doing anything wanna go shopping?" Summer suggested.
"Okay. I'll pick you up in 5," Marissa replied.
Marissa and Summer were cruising through downtown LA, basically just window shopping.
"You know we've been here so many times already that I think there's nothing new to buy," Marissa commented.
"Well then I guess we'll have to find some place else to shop," Summer replied.
"So how're things with you and Seth?" Marissa asked.
"Great. Really great. They have been since our wedding. No wait- actually since we found out the baby was a girl. Cohen's been nothing but protective of me. It's really sweet. He better not stop when the baby arrives," Summer said. Marissa laughed at her friend.
"Do you have a name for her yet?" she wanted to know. Summer shook her head.
"Cohen and I can't agree on a name. He can be way too stubborn," Summer scoffed. "So, how's things with you and Ryan?"
"Things are great. We're really starting to plan for the wedding since its like in 3 months," Marissa pointed out.
"Whoa, 3 months? That soon? It seems like just yesturday we were both engaged," Summer said.
"No kidding," Marissa agreed.
"Did guys talk about the future and stuff?" Summer asked.
"Yeah. You will never believe what Ryan said. It was the cutest thing. He says that he's always wanted a little boy to teach him soccer. Don't you think that's the cutest?" Marissa cooed.
"I never knew Ryan had it in him to be such a softy," Summer joked. That's when it happened. At first she didn't know what it was, but then it hit her like a cold wave of water. "Uh, Coop?"
"Yeah?" Marissa replied.
"I think my water just broke," Summer said. Marissa's eyes widened in shock and immediately the two went to Marissa's car and sped off to the hospital.
"Where's Cohen? He can't not be here! Coop he has to be here!" Summer yelled. She was in a room with white walls, laying on the bed with one of those disgusting robes on. And her husband wasn't there yet!
"Calm down Sum. I called your apartment and he wasn't there. I'm going to try mine to see if he's with Ryan," Marissa said calmly.
"Hello?" Ryan said answering the phone.
"Ryan! Hey! Is Seth with you?" Marissa asked.
"Nice to hear your voice too. What's going on?" Ryan asked.
"Summer's in labor. She's having a meltdown as we speak. Seth needs to get his butt over here ASAP," Marissa ordered.
"Okay, we'll be right over," Ryan said hanging up. Marissa put her phone back in her purse and turned to Summer who was practically shaking all over.
"Don't worry Sum. Seth's gonna be here any minute," Marissa promised.
"Coop…I'm scared," Summer whimpered.
"Don't be scared. It's okay. Seth will be here, I'll be here, as will Ryan. Just think when it's all over it'll be worth it," Marissa said soothingly.
"Thanks," Summer said. That's when Dr. Harwell came into the room.
"Hey Summer. How are you holding up?" she asked.
"Not good at all," Summer mumbled.
"You're Marissa right? Summer's told me about you," Dr. Harwell said, shaking Marissa's hand.
"Yup," Marissa replied. "Nice to finally meet you."
"Where's Mr. Cohen today?" Dr. Harwell asked.
"He's freaking late," Summer screeched. "He better be here in time for the baby otherwise he's gonna pay!"
"Are they always like this?" Marissa asked.
"Usually," Dr. Harwell replied. "Well Summer, you're 5 inches dilated. You're half way there. It should be maybe another hour, 2 at the most. If you need anything, press the button by the side of the bed and I'll be here." And with that she left.
"She seems nice," Marissa commented.
"Nice my ass," Summer scoffed.
"Are you excited Sum?" Marissa asked, trying to make Summer feel better about the situation.
"I guess so. I mean, I've been having to carry this thing around for 9 months straight. It'll be good to get my body back," Summer said. "And it would be better if Cohen would hurry up and get here!"
"I bet they're on their way right now," Marissa said.
About an hour later and still no sign of Seth or Ryan, Summer was almost fully dilated. She just had one inch to go.
"Where the hell is he?" Summer yelled. "He better get here on time! He has to get here on time! He promised me!"
"He'll be here, don't worry," Marissa said. He better be here soon otherwise she would have to go into the delivery room with Summer. Even though it was her best friend, Marissa didn't want to be there when the baby was being born. She went outside to get a cup of coffee and to see if Seth or Ryan were there yet.
"There you guys are!" she said a wave of relief rushing through her.
"Sorry we're late," Ryan apologized kissing Marissa on the lips.
"There was traffic. Traffic on a freaking Saturday," Seth complained. "How's she holding up?"
"She's freaking out. She'll be happy you're here," Marissa said, walking down the hall to where Summer's room was.
"How far along is she?" Seth wanted to know.
"9 inches," Marissa replied. "Good thing you got here in time. Sum, Seth's here."
"Hey honey," Seth said going over to give his wife a kiss.
"You ass! I've been waiting here for over an hour for you! We're the hell were you?" Summer yelled.
"Sorry Summer. There was traffic on the way over here," Ryan said.
"OWWWWWW," Summer yelped, grabbing onto Seth's hand as she underwent another contraction. Dr. Harwell was in the room, checking to see if Summer was ready.
"Hey Seth. Good thing you got here on time. Summer was beginning to freak out," she said.
"There was traffic," Seth responded.
"Summer you're ready to go to the delivery room," Dr. Harwell announced. She turned to Ryan and Marissa. "If you don't mind, the delivery room is only for family members to attend during birth."
"Oh that's no problem," Marissa said. "We'll just be in the waiting room, waiting."
"See you when its over," Seth said.
"Good luck, man," Ryan said.
"Thanks," Seth replied.
"Good luck Sum! You're going to do great!" Marissa called as she was getting wheeled down the hall to the delivery room. When Summer and Seth were out of sight, she turned to Ryan. "I guess all we can do now is wait."
"Wait," Ryan repeated. Who knew how long that could take?
"Cohen I can't do it!" Summer panted. She had been pushing and screaming. If she knew that having a baby caused this much pain, she wouldn't have wanted it in the first place.
"Yes you can Sum. Yes you can. Just think when its all over we're going to have a little girl!" Seth exclaimed.
"I hate you Cohen!" Summer screamed.
"What? What did I ever do to you?" Seth asked, taken aback. He obviously didn't know that she didn't mean it.
"You impregnated me!" Summer cried.
"Don't worry Seth. They all say that," Dr. Harwell spoke up. "Now Summer, you have to push okay?" Summer attempted a push.
"I can't do it!" she cried. "I can't do this! I'm not able to!"
"Yes you can Sum," Seth said, holding onto Summer's hand tightly.
"Summer, honey, you can't turn back now. Come on. Just a few more pushes and then it'll all be over," Dr. Harwell said. Summer pushed as hard as she possibly could. "Okay, I see the head. One more push and she should be out!"
"I CAN'T!" Summer yelled.
"Come on, Sum. Do it for baby Roberts-Cohen," Seth said.
"Summer, one more push. Come on," Dr. Harwell added. Summer took a deep breath and pushed harder than before. A cry filled the air. "Congratulations Summer and Seth." She went to get a blanket and clean off the baby. She came back holding her in her arms, bundled up tight. Summer held the baby close to her.
"Good job Sum. You're officially a mommy," Seth said.
"And you're officially a daddy," Summer said, tears streaming down her face. She looked at her baby. "She looks like you, you know?"
"Hey! That she does!" Seth said. "You want me to call Ryan and Marissa?"
"Can we just…spend some time alone with her for a little?" Summer asked.
"Sure. Of course," Seth said. He snuggled onto the bed with Summer and the baby. "What do you want to call her?"
"How about Emily?" Summer asked after a while.
"Emily. Emily's a pretty name," Seth agreed. "Yeah, I like Emily."
"And we need a middle name," Summer brought up.
"Didn't you think Rachel was also a nice name?" Seth asked.
"Emily Rachel Roberts-Cohen. I like it," Summer said.
"I like it too," Seth said. He peered down at her daughter. "Hi there Emily Rachel Roberts-Cohen. I'm your daddy! Yes I am. And this is your mommy. You're lucky to have a mommy like her. She's the coolest mommy ever."
"Gee, thanks Cohen," Summer said. "Emily, your daddy's pretty cool too."
"Thanks Sum," Seth said.
"I love you Seth. And this is the best thing that's ever happened to me," Summer whispered.
"I love you too Summer," Seth said. "I love you too."
Meanwhile back in the waiting room, Marissa and Ryan were waiting for the news that the baby had been born. They were also waiting for Sandy and Kirsten and Summer's dad show up since they had called while Summer was in the delivery room. Sandy and Kirsten bursted into the hospital followed by Summer's dad Neil.
"Have you heard anything yet?" Kirsten asked.
"Not yet," Ryan answered.
"They should be done soon though," Marissa added. "Hopefully."
"How was she when you saw her?" Neil asked.
"Uh…she was freaking out. Seth was a little late coming because of traffic and she was scared he wouldn't make it on time. But he did. So I think she's okay," Marissa explained. That's when Seth came out to find everyone waiting for the news.
"Well?" everyone asked.
"Her name is Emily Rachel Roberts-Cohen," Seth said proudly.
"Congratulations!" Sandy exclaimed hugging his son. Kirsten hugged him next, then Ryan, then Marissa. He and Neil shook hands.
"You guys want to see her?" Seth asked. Everyone nodded. They followed Seth to Summer's room to see Summer singing to her baby.
"Hey guys," she said, looking up to see them all in the room.
"Awww, she's so cute!" Marissa gushed walking closer.
"Hey sweetie," Neil said, kissing his daughter on the forehead. "You holding up okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine Daddy," Summer replied.
"She looks like you guys," Ryan commented.
"Can I hold her?" Marissa asked. Summer nodded and held Emily over to Marissa. "Hey Emily. You're so cute! Yes you are! I'm your aunt Marissa. We're going to have so much fun together!"
"You know, you aren't really her aunt," Seth said.
"Shut up Cohen," Summer laughed.
"Yeah Seth. Sum and I are like sisters anyways and since Ryan and I are getting married we're going to be like related," Marissa pointed out.
"True," Seth agreed.
"She's a looker," Sandy commented.
"Like her mother of course," Seth added.
"Can I hold her now?" Kirsten asked. She took the baby from Marissa's grasp. Marissa walked over to where Ryan was standing and laced her fingers through his.
"I can't wait until after our wedding so we can have one of our own," Marissa said to him.
"I can't wait either," Ryan replied.
So I know that was totally fluffy, but I mean, it had to be considering it was the birth of Seth and Summer's baby. Review and lemme know if you liked it!
