He woke up and slowly studied his surroundings. Everything was basically the same, a few things had been moved here and there, but even though things still seemed the same, somehow everything had changed. He was a father, he had been one for 8 years without even knowing it and that right there was what hurt the most, knowing that he had missed 8 years of his kid's life and his only excuse was that he didn't know.
He had to admit Summer had gone easy on him, he had expected more then a few minutes of yelling, he had imagined kicking, punching and screaming. Bu he didn't know Summer anymore, she was completely different, still as beautiful as ever but personality wise, she was different and he didn't blame her, with motherhood brought change and he had been expecting that.
He walked downstairs to find a little girl with long curly brown hair and the bluest eyes ever eating breakfast. He sat next to her and she smiled
" Hi"
She said
" Hey"
" I'm Bridget, who are you?"
" I'm Seth, umm is Ryan your dad?"
She nodded
" Then I guess that makes me your Uncle Seth"
" So your Jay's dad?"
" Yeah I guess I am"
" Where have you been all this time?"
" Lots of places
" But why did you leave?"
" I was young and stupid"
She giggled
" What?"
" Well don't tell my dad that I told you but last week I heard Aunty Sum and Mum talking and Aunty Sum said that she loved Seth, she always would, was she talking bout you?"
Seth smiled
" Yeah I guess she was"
" Do you love her?"
" Yeah… I don't know…. I think so"
" But Dad said dat when your married dat means you only love that person, no one else and you spend the rest of your life loving that person and so I asked how can Aunty Sum love you if she's married to Todd? And den he said dat's different"
Seth's heart almost stopped beating when he heard those words. He knew that Summer would eventually move on but somehow he had always held hope, deep in his heart that she would wait for him, I know how selfish does that sound right?
" Sum, Summers m, mar, married?"
" Ah huh, but she is getting divoiced"
" Divorced?"
" Yep, cause Todd is never there for hers when she needs him and she don't love him, she don't even know why she married him
Seth breathed a sigh of relief
" So how do you know all this stuff anyway?"
He asked, reaching for the Pokemon cereal in front of him
" I like to listen, I just sit back and watch and hear what peoples do"
" Oh, so what's ahh Jacob like?"
" He looks like you, he has the same hair and eyes, he's fun to play with, he's my bestest friend in the whole world
" Cool, but what's…"
He was cut off by Ryan walking down the stairs and sending Bridget on her way up them, she waved to Seth before leaving
" She likes you"
He said, Seth shrugged
" We need to talk"
" Bout?"
He asked through a spoon of cereal, Ryan stared him straight in the eye with his reply
" Summer"
