New York

Summer pushed the cart through the aisles, looking at all the baby clothes. She pulled a tiny blue outfit off the rack and smiled. It said "Daddy's BIG Boy" on it.

She stared at it, deciding in her mind whether or not to get it. She decided to, because eventually she was going to tell Seth. She put the outfit in the cart and guided through the thick mass of clothes.

Pinks, blues, and yellows were the only colors you could see for quite a distance. She'd already bought the furniture for the nursery, and it was going to be delivered to the house in a week.

The painters set themselves up in the nursery, painting the walls a soft blue. The smooth ceiling was a richer blue, with little yellow stars on it.

The baby kicked, and Summer rubbed her belly. Well actually he just had the hiccups. She'd been feeling a lot of small jumps that sort've felt like kicks lately. Anyway, she asked Dr. Richardson and she said that they were hiccups.

Summer's cell phone vibrated in her purse, and she dug through the lip gloss and make-up until she finally found it.

"Hello"

"Hey" came Seth's voice.

"Hi!" she said, instantly smiling.

"What's up?" he asked, trying to start a conversation.

"Um nothing shopping for ba…" she caught herself, thankfully, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shopping for what?"

Summer closed her eyes, racking her brain for a cover. "Shopping for bathing suits" she finally spat out.

Seth got a weird look on his face, and looked outside at the leafless trees. "Summer, its October"

'Damn-it' she thought to herself. "Yeah, but this is when their all on sale" Summer said. Yeah, like she'd ever cared if anything was on sale. But it was the only thing she could think of.

Seth rolled his eyes and dropped the conversation. "So, I was wondering if you could come down for Thanksgiving" True, Seth still hadn't told Summer about Anna. But he was going to if she agreed to come.

Summer smiled, even though she knew she couldn't. He'd take one look at her and her huge belly and run for the hills. "Actually" she started, "I'm having dinner with my dad. He planned a big dinner already so…"

Seth nodded his head in disbelief. It was just another lame excuse. I mean, dinner with her dad? Since when had she started passing him up to spend time with her dad?

"Well I'm gonna go" he said bitterly and clicked the off button.

Summer was shocked. Did he just hang up on her? She pulled the phone away from her ear and looked at it in disbelief. She knew she could only come up with so many excuses. It was straining their relationship.

She had 5 months until her son was born. What if he broke up with her because he thought she didn't want to see him? I mean, he'd invited her to Newport so many times and she'd always have to make up excuses.

She stuck the phone in her purse and sighed.

Newport

"I don't understand why she keeps making up excuses" Seth complained to Ryan.

"Maybe she really does have plans with her dad" Ryan said, glancing over at Seth as he pushed the buttons on the remote control.

"Still, she can come down any weekend and she just chooses not to. I mean, is New York so great that she's forgotten about us. What if she's moved on? What if…"

Ryan tuned Seth out.

"Seth" he finally interrupted him. "Seriously, man, maybe all of her 'excuses' are the truth"

"Ryan, I can tell when she's lying. And her excuses are just that. Excuses"

Ryan shook his head and stood up. "If she's moved on, she'd tell you. She wouldn't lead you on, man. You know she's not like that" Ryan said, walking out of the pool house.

"I'd like to think that, Ryan, but I'm not so sure anymore. She act's so secretive. And, she has this new friend Katelyn or something and she says they have so much in common. I mean, what could Summer possibly have in common with someone from New Jersey whose 6 months pregnant and drives a station wagon?"

Ryan laughed. "Maybe Summer's pregnant" Ryan joked. Seth laughed sarcastically. "Since when did you become so funny?"

"Maybe that's the secret" Ryan said, still joking, heavy sarcasm intended.

"Dude, what would you do if she was and never told you?" Ryan added.

"I'd never speak to her again. See that's why I love her…because even though she's being secretive now, she's still honest"

Ryan crinkled his forehead and looked at Seth in confusion. "You do realize that makes no sense, right?"

"Yeah" he said, nodding.

Ryan laughed.

New York

"I just feel so bad lying to him, and making up excuses not to go there to visit" Summer complained to Katie.

"I'm telling you Summer, you have to tell him. Hey, what about Christopher?" Katie said, changing the subject. They were both looking through name books, Summer still trying to decide on one.

Summer wrinkled her nose.

"mmmk…what about Lance?"

Summer shook her head. None of these names seemed to click.

"Summer, you're way too picky" she laughed.

Summer laughed. "What about Elijah?" she asked, looking at Katie who was across the room in a bean bag chair. Summer lay on her bed.

Katie thought about it. "Elijah Matthew Cohen" she said aloud.

Summer shook her head at it. She had decided on Matthew as the middle name for sure, and was giving the baby Seth's last name.

"What about Victor?"

"Victor Matthew Cohen" Summer said. She shook her head no. "My gosh it's so hard to pick a name. I mean, I'll be calling him this for the rest of his life"

Katie raised her eyebrows as in saying "yes" and looked back down at the book.

"Come on, lets go shopping or something" Summer said, standing up.

The Street

Summer and Katie walked down the sidewalk of New York, passing all kinds of stores; their tummy's facing the world.

"Ya know…" Katie started.

Just then a woman yelled "Caden Vance, you get back here right now!"

Summer stopped in her tracks. Once Katie realize Summer wasn't beside her anymore she turned around and walked a few feet back. "What's wrong?" she asked.

"I know what I want his name to be" Summer said, glad she'd finally picked one.

"Caden Matthew Cohen"
