I would just like to point out that I did some research on pregnant woman flying, and they'll allow it with doctor's consent. Just thought I'd let ya'll know so I didn't confuse any of you.
Airport—New York
Summer glared at the lady behind the ticket desk. "Listen, I have got to get back to California to tell the father of my child that I'm having his child" she argued.
The woman stared at her, not changing her expression.
"Ma'am, if you don't have a doctors note saying you can fly, or a doctors note that says when your due date is, I cannot allow you to fly"
"Listen" Summer said, glancing at the nametag the young woman was wearing. "Terry" she said coldly. "Let me on that damn plane. I'm at a very hormonal stage right now, and I'm not afraid to hit you!"
The lady backed away from the desk. "Listen, if you give me your doctors name and number, I can try and contact her"
Summer smiled as though she'd accomplished something. She gave the clerk her doctor's number, and listened intently as the phone conversation progressed.
'Terry' eyed Summer cautiously throughout the conversation. Finally, she put the phone on its receiver.
"That'll be $300"
Summer smiled and handed the credit card over.
Newport—Cohen Residence
"She hung up on me" Seth said, staring into oblivion.
"Dude, you broke up with her. Did you expect her to be all peachy about it?" his best friend and, oddly enough, brother, replied.
"Do you think I made a mistake? I mean, what if she really wasn't cheating on me. What if she has been like faithful to me this whole time. Maybe her excuses are really true"
Had he made a mistake?
Ryan looked at him crazily. Hadn't he been telling Seth these things for like the past week?
"Seth, where were those thoughts an hour ago?"
Seth eyed Ryan.
"I think I just made like the biggest mistake of my life, and knowing Summer she'll never talk to me again"
Plane
Would he ever talk to her again? If he didn't, she would understand to a certain extent. I mean, she was just trying to look out for his future. But she still had lied to him…about something rather…important.
Summer looked out at the sky. It was 7:00 when she left New York, which meant it was only 4:00 in Newport. It would be 10 when she would finally arrive in California.
But she didn't care. She didn't time things right, but she also didn't plan on Cohen breaking up with her either. And she wasn't about to lose the love of her life and the father of her child to Anna Stern!
She leaned her head back against the seat, sighing. It was going to be a long night.
Newport—Airport
Summer rolled her suitcase through the airport best she could, and called a taxi. Rain beat down outside. Stepping outside to wait for the cab, the January air hit her, and shivers ran up and down her body.
She received a few stares from people she knew, but she just brushed them off. She'd forgotten that no one in Newport knew she was pregnant.
The taxi finally arrived, and the man got out, putting her stuff in the trunk. Finally they pulled away from the airport, and nervousness settled in the pit of her stomach. What would his reaction be?
"The weather's not usually like this" the man said, breaking the silence.
"Yeah I know. I used to live here"
The man nodded and kept talking, but Summer zoned him out. She didn't feel like talking to some middle-aged bald guy about the weather in California. She had more important things to worry about!
She just looked out the window, examining the water-filled ditches. How long had it been raining here?
Bright lights blinded Summer's eyes, as a car headed straight for the taxi. She heard a scream, unaware if she's the one who did it. She placed her hand over her stomach as a flying sensation came over her.
Cohen Residence
"Goodnight mom, goodnight dad" Seth said walking his way up the stairs. Sandy and Kirsten said goodnight to their obviously upset son, and exchanged glances.
"They'll get back together" Kirsten said.
"I bet you 10 bucks they'll be back together before summer"
"You've got yourself a deal" she said, holding her hand out to shake with his, then both of them turning their attention back to the TV.
Newport—the ditch
Summer's head was throbbing, and there was a sharp pain running up and down her body. What was going on?
She saw ambulance lights, and she heard a loud drilling noise. The windshield was cracked, and there was no taxi driver in the front seat. Had they wrecked?
She could feel the blood trickling down her face. Her hair was caked with it.
A tear escaped her eye and ran down her scratchy face as a pain shot through her stomach.
The world went black.

Well it's not a HUGE cliffhanger, but I'd still say it was, don't ya think? New chapter later on today or tomorrow!
