Their mouths were still only inches apart, breathing into each other. A million things were going through their minds, but with each kiss everything seemed to evaporate.

Summer closed her eyes in anticipation as Seth closed the space between them again, his lips finally resting on hers. He didn't try to deepen it and she didn't either. They just stood there, motionless, with their lips pressed together.

Summer pulled away softly and leaned against the wall behind her. "Seth, what does this mean for us?"

He didn't say anything for a while, looking as if he was pondering the question. Did he really have to think about it?

Summer shook her head in disappointment. She knew it was too good to be true. The kiss was just a spontaneous mistake. He didn't want her back, and he was just thinking of how to let her down easy.

Well, Summer Roberts does not get dumped. "Look, clearly you still don't want to get back together" she said heatedly. "So I guess I'll see you around" she finished, pushing off the wall.

Summer's heart stopped when Seth grabbed her arm. He couldn't let her leave. When she asked him that question, the words 'I want you back' popped into his mind. But if she were to ask him that last month, the words would have been completely different. So what did that mean? Did that mean he was ready to be in a relationship with her again?

"This means" he started, "that I still love you. That I think about you all the time. That my head is telling me that I should hate you but I just can't do that. Believe me, I have tried. When I first found out about Caden, I was furious with you. So I guess it made it easy to really dislike you at the time. But this past month…I just can't get you out of my head for a second and…"

Seth was cut off by Summer's lips against his. Why did he have to be so sweet? He always knew the right words to say, and it always made her love him more. He had that kind of power over her.

Summer pulled away when a soft cry entered the room, growing louder and louder. "I'll get him" she said, out of breath.

She brushed Seth's arm as she passed him, heading toward Caden's crib.

"Oh my goodness" she said, talking in 'baby voice'. Seth never understood why people high pitched their voices when they talked to babies.

"You're getting so big" she said, lifting him out of the crib and bouncing up and down slightly.

She picked his chubby hand up and waved it toward Seth. "Say hi daddy" she instructed him.

Seth laughed. "So, are all of our make-out sessions going to be interrupted from now on?" he asked.

Summer smiled. "Does that mean you want more kisses?" she asked, pressing for answers in the cutest voice she could make.

Seth kissed her quickly on the lips. "Definitely"

Caden let out a small cry and Summer glanced at Seth before exiting his room, talking to Caden as she walked downstairs.

1 Week Later

Seth spotted Summer at her locker and walked up behind her. Slipping his hands around her waist, he kissed her neck all the way up to her cheek.

A smiled played across her face. She turned around and kissed him shortly on the lips. "Hey" she said before planting yet another kiss on his waiting lips.

"Well, hello there Summer. You're looking mighty ravishing today"

Summer rolled her eyes, walking past him. "Mighty ravishing?" she asked, sideways glancing at him as she walked through the thick mass of people. "What do you want, Cohen?"

"Can't a guy just admire his beautiful girlfriend?"

"Depends" she said, stopping at her first class. She eyed him, demanding an answer without saying a word.

"Ok, I know that we were supposed to have a date tonight, but…"

"Cohen!" she yelled a little too loudly. Students stopped In their tracks, eyeing the couple intently. It was impossible to talk at school without somebody eavesdropping. They all wanted gossip and they'd do anything to get some.

Summer halfway smiled at them before pulling Seth into a corner of the hall. "You have blown me off 3 times this week. Have you forgotten that I sit home every night with your son? I'm surprised I can even make it to school most days because he'll be running a slight fever, or I'll run out of diapers and have to go buy some, or his formula will make him spit up. Not to mention, he sleeps in my room. So I get like 5 hours of sleep a night. You are not going to blow off any fun I get to have to do whatever your selfish ass wants to!"

Seth looked at his feet. It made him feel awful to know that Summer stayed home with his baby all the time, barely sleeping, while he was home playing video games or reading comics. Not to mention his old Jewish man gave him like 10 hours of sleep a night, while she got half of that.

Seth sighed. "Look, I'm sorry. It's just…I don't know how you feel because I'm only with Caden in the afternoons at your house and on the weekends. He's usually pretty good on the weekends…he only wakes up once a night"

Summer glared at him. "Well I'm so glad that you're sleeping at night, and not skipping meals because he needs to bed fed, or he's fussy. When he's at my house, he wakes up every single hour" she said hotly.

"Well what do you want me to do Summer, move in with you or something?"

That thought had never crossed either of their minds. I mean, they had just gotten back together.

Summer closed her eyes briefly. "I can't ask you to do that"

Seth glanced Summer over. She had dark circles under her eyes that concealer obviously wouldn't help. She'd fallen asleep in AP English the day before, and had accidentally brought Caden's diaper bag to school one day instead of her purse. She was a complete mess.

"How about I take Caden the rest of the week? It's Tuesday, so that will give you the rest of the week to go spa hopping and to sleep"

Summer sheepishly smiled. "You realize you'll be the one falling asleep in English right?"

Seth laughed. "Oh contraire, he sleeps when he's at my house. It's because he likes me more"

Summer smiled. "Yeah, because your just like him"

"What, cute and charming?"

"Oh well aren't we confident. I was going for messy and whiney" she said, smiling.

"That hurts kind of" he said, placing his hand over his heart, acting upset.

"I think I'll take you up on that offer. After we go out tonight you can pick him up from Marissa's. She's babysitting. I'm going to warn you though. It's not all sunshine's and rainbows. It's throw up and dirty diapers"

"Maybe for you. I have a feeling this week will be a breeze" he said, not even realizing what he was getting himself into.

1 a.m.

Seth stumbled down the hall, rubbing his eyes. Caden's shrill screams circulated the whole house. It was the third time he'd woken up in the past 2 hours. No wonder Summer was a mess. This baby was a handful. He'd never been like this on the weekends!

Seth picked Caden up, patting his back as he walked downstairs to fix his bottle. The other two times he'd woken up weren't for any specific reason at all. He wasn't hungry and he didn't need his diaper changed. Every time Seth would try to sit down and rock him he'd scream louder.

So Seth had to stand to keep him quiet. Finally, he'd fall asleep, and Seth would lay him back in the crib. He wouldn't even be halfway down the hall yet when Caden would start to cry again.

Ryan was lucky he had the pool house.

School—next day

"Mr. Cohen" the teacher said, attempting to wake him up. "Mr. Cohen" he said louder.

Seth's head popped up, drool dampening the skin around his mouth. Seth wiped it off quickly. "Sorry Mr. Whitman. Long night"

The class snickered.

"Try and get some sleep tonight" he said sternly before returning to his lesson.

Seth groaned. This was going to be a long week.
