The next morning Seth was up at 6:30am, Bridget was gone but Seth assumed she had gone back to Marissa and Ryan. Summer was picking Jacob up at 8:30, so he had 2 hours until he met his son. He was excited and scared all at the same time, he couldn't wait to meet his son and hopefully start getting to know him but he was also nervous about the fact that maybe he would just dismiss him because he was never there until now.
The fight with Ryan was also still weighing heavily on his mind, which was making him feel, guilty, upset and even angry. So he walked downstairs at about 6:45 to get some breakfast. He was expecting the place to be dead at 6:30 in the morning, so when he walked into the kitchen to find: Summer, Marissa and Bridget already awake he was a little bit shocked. They were all smiles as Seth walked in
" Morning" He said
They all nodded except for Marissa who managed a small reply "Morning"
" Where did you disappear to babe?" He asked Bridget
" I woke up at 6 o'clock then went back into Mummy and Daddy's room"
" Oh, can you pass the cereal Sum?" He asked her as he took a seat at the island
She nodded then passed the box to him, their hands touched in the process and Summer found that Seth was shaking. She smiled slightly, knowing what was wrong
" Relax Seth, he's gonna love you, I promise" She said smoothly
" Sorry, I guess I'm more nervous then expected" He replied
" Look Seth, all Jacob talks about is meeting you one day, when I spoke to him yesterday he said that he cant wait to meet you" Marissa quickly reassured him
" So he knows I'm here then?" Seth asked to no one in particular
" Yeah he rang last night and someone, let it slip," She said, staring intently at Marissa
" Sorry" She said with a grin
" Anyway, where's ahh Ryan?" He asked bluntly
" He went to Kirsten and Sandy's about 20 minutes ago" She replied with the same tone
" Oh, why?" Seth asked curiously
" He's helping them set up for the party tonight" She said
" Geese, another party, what's it for this time?"
" You, it's a welcome home party" She grinned at Seth
" What? Why is Ryan helping then?" He questioned
" You know what Ryan's like Seth, actions speak louder then words with him," Marissa exclaimed
" So does that mean his sorry?" Seth asked hopefully
" Yeah, I guess" She replied
There was a couple of second's silence in which Seth took a mouthful of cereal, before suddenly remembering what it was he wanted to say
" Where was Dad last night?" He asked
Summer and Marissa exchanged glances
" What? What don't I know?" He asked, now entirely confused
" It would take years for me to answer that question Cohen" Summer said, sweetly
" Very funny Summer, good one really it was"
He held out his hand for her to slap but just as she was about to he pulled it back
" Not, now tell me" He demanded
" Well lets just say he's not exactly your biggest fan at the moment" Summer finally answered the question
" What do you mean?" Seth asked, clearly confused
" He's angry with you Seth, that's why he avoided you last night and that's why he's probably gonna avoid you again tonight and if you ask me why he's made at you, I swear I'll kill you" Summer confessed
" I'm not that dumb Summer," He said with a grin
" Well you sure had me fooled" She flirted back
" Funny Sum, your all laughs this morning aren't ya, geese anyone would think you got lucky last night"
He smirked at her and she gave him a glare but then smiled
" Yeah I sure did" She replied
" What? Sum? Spill" Marissa ordered
Summer gave her a look " I'm joking Coop, I mean who would I do it with anyway?"
" Well I mean I can think of someone" Marissa replied with a smirk
She glanced at Seth who was now explaining the concept of the new video game they had brought to Bridget
" Well let's just say, we'll talk later" Summer whispered
" So what are you saying?" Marissa questioned
" I'm saying that we'll talk later, ahh its 7:00 o'clock I gotta call Jeremy
" Jeremy?" Seth asked, suddenly taking interest in the conversation once again
But he was asking Marissa for Summer had just grabbed the cordless and left the kitchen
" He's her client at the moment, she's designing his bride's wedding dress, he's really possessive, like scarily possessive, he calls her at all hours and even comes over sometimes, he wants his wedding to be perfect, which means the clothes have to be perfect" Marissa offered
" Oh, poor Summer" Seth said
" Yeah more then you know, I mean it's usually the girl obsessing not the guy so that makes it weirder"
" I guess it would be" Seth said, casually
" But I have to admit when he's not obsessing he's really nice" Marissa admitted
Seth nodded
" Momma?'' Bridget asked softly
" Yes sweetie?"
" Why does Aunty Sum always talk to Jeremy?" She questioned, innocently
" Well cause it's her job honey, Jeremy pays her to make clothes" Marissa replied
" Oh, hey Uncie Seth?"
" Yes Bridge?"
" Well last night when me and Aunty Sum was speaking to pop he told Aunty Sum to be careful with you cause you've hurted her before, why did you hurt Aunty Sum? I thought you liked her?" Bridget said in that same innocent tone as before
" I'll leave you to it Seth"
Marissa said exiting the room, Summer was about to go back in until Marissa walked past and whispered
" You might wanna hear this Sum"
So Summer stood still and listened
" Well…. Its ahh…. Complicated" Seth admitted
" But I really wanna know why you hurted Aunty Sum" She demanded
" Ok….. (he paused) Its not like I just woke up one day and said ' you know what, today's the day I'm gonna hurt Summer, I didn't do it intentionally, I would never hurt Summer intentionally, I love her and that's never gonna change, but I was stupid and young and miserable, you see your Dad, well he was my best friend, for awhile my only friend and he's basically the whole reason Summer noticed me in the first place and when he told me he was leaving I was devastated and I thought that when he left everything would go back to the way it was before he came and I'd lose Summer and I just couldn't handle that so I left and that's how I hurt Aunty Summer"
He wiped a single tear from his eye. Bridget jumped off her stool and hugged Seth- tightly, he laughed
" I love you Uncle Seth"
" I love you too Bridget" He replied with a grin
Summer wiped the tears away and ran over to them, joining in on the hug, she looked straight into Seth's eyes and finally she understood, finally she knew the truth, which meant that she could finally start forgiving him
