Seth sat asleep in the hospital room chair, Summer laced in his arms, sleeping on his lap.

No, they hadn't made up. Not verbally, anyways. Emotionally, they had. Sometimes it takes something bad to make something good happen.

This was sometime.

The click of the door awoke Seth and Summer with a jerk. They stood expectantly, wanting to know what was wrong with their son.

Luckily, they were told it was only a 24 hour bug, and he could probably go home the following day.

Summer sat back down in the chair and looked at Caden's fragile body. To be so small, he was so sick. His temperature was at a high 104 degrees earlier. It had gone down to 102, and the nurses were pushing drugs into his body constantly.

His bear chest rose up and down with each steady breath, and Summer ran her manicured finger along his tummy, resting on his belly button.

Tears welled in her eyes and she didn't try to keep them from falling. The drive to the hospital seemed like it was moving in slow motion. Like it was one of the black and white films they had watched in history the afternoon before.

Long…lifeless.

From the moment she had stepped in the car she vowed to hold her breath until they reached the antiseptic building. She was almost positive that she had done so.

There was nothing scarier than being responsible for another person's life. Or so Summer had thought. But when their burning up in your arms and you can't do a thing to help them…you learn that there are scarier things.

"Are you ok?" Seth asked, filling the once silent room.

Summer swiped a salty tear away and nodded. "Yeah" she shuddered. "It's just…he was so sick when he was born…and he just got out of the hospital last month…and now he's sick…and his condition is worse than any bug they've seen in awhile…not to mention he's still a little weak…I was terrified Seth"

Seth kneeled to the floor, placing his hand on her knee. He could see how scared she was in her eyes. He could feel how scared she was. It scared him because he loved her so much he could feel her emotions. They seemed to run through both of their bodies.

"I know you were" he replied, his voice cracking with emotion. "I was scared to. But he's fine now…their taking good care of him"

Summer nodded. She knew.

Moments passed without a word being said, but finally Seth, yet again, broke the silence. "Do you wanna go get something to eat?"

She shook her head no, never breaking the gaze she had on her baby boy. "I'm not leaving this room until he can come with me" she finished.

Seth sighed. "Well, how about I go get us some food and bring it back here?"

She finally looked away from Caden. Her eyes were still glassy with tears. She swallowed hard before thrusting herself in his arms. "Thank you so much"

He smiled. He knew that she wasn't just thanking him for the food. She was thanking him for actually being there and being a father. For caring. She was thanking him for taking her back despite the vicious words she threw at him.

She was thanking him for loving her that much.

Seth placed a soft kiss on Summer's full lips. "I'll be back" was all he said before exiting the room.

Summer stared into the space he once stood for a second longer before focusing her attention back on Caden.

30 Minutes Later

The smell of greasy fries and thick burgers layered the tiny room that the Cohen-Roberts baby was occupying.

Seth took a bite of his burger. "Are we even allowed to have this up here?"

Summer crammed a fry in her mouth. "I don't know" she said, giggling.

When Seth had been gone fetching her hungry stomach some food, Caden had woken up. His fever had broke, and he was back to being his old self. His laughter had graced the room several times, but he fell back asleep before Seth returned.

This put Summer's nerves at ease. His fever broke, he was fine, and he was laughing. Seth was a little upset that Caden had fallen asleep before he got back, but the food instantly made his mind think of other things.

"Seth" she started, taking a bite of her cheese, lettuce, mustard, ketchup, and pickle burger. "What do you think our lives would be like if I hadn't got pregnant?"

Seth sipped his mountain dew, washing down the 5 fries he had previously stuffed his mouth with.

"Well…you'd most likely be in New York still"

Summer nodded in agreement. "Yeah, and you and Anna would probably be a couple"

"The only reason I broke up with you was because you were avoiding me. Plus we'd never see each other" he said, defending himself.

Summer walked to the trash can and discarded the wrappers that once held her dinner, and accepted Seth's invitation to sit in his lap.

She leaned her head back, resting it on his shoulder. He kissed her forehead lightly.

"Yeah, well…I guess it's a really good thing you knocked me up" she said, laughing.

Seth smiled. "I guess so"

Things were back to normal again. They weren't avoiding the subject of the fight they had had earlier…they just saw no need and talking about it anymore. It was over now.

2 Weeks Later

Saturday

"Time to unload the truck" Ryan said, opening the back to the oversized moving truck.

"I don't get why we couldn't just have movers do it" Seth said, climbing into the back along with Ryan.

"Because we can do it"

Seth looked at the truck full of stuff.

"I guess we could start with the heavy stuff" Ryan said, walking through the boxes to the couch.

Seth glanced at the couch and then at Ryan.

"You have fun with that" he said before picking up a lamp and carrying it into the house.

And yes, the house was what Summer referred to as the ghetto mc mansion. But, she soon realized she wanted nothing more than to live with Seth…for sure. No second thoughts this time.

So they bought furniture, packed up their teenage lives into boxes, and moved away from their old homes, and into their new one…together.

Seth got a part time job at a sailing store down by the pier. It didn't pay much, but that was ok. He finally let his 'macho' side die down, and agreed to accept money from his parents. No complaints though, because they loaded his bank account.

Seth saw Summer's car pull up, and she stepped out, grinning. Her hair was in a messy bun, she had sweat pants on, and her face was make-up less. It didn't matter though, because she was moving in with Seth.

If someone had told her 3 years ago that she'd be living with Seth Cohen her senior year, she would have personally driven them to the insane asylum.

But surprisingly, her life had turned out that way, and she couldn't have been happier.

She unfastened Caden from his car seat and carried him down the sidewalk, watching Ryan move heavy things into the house with the help of Marissa.

She giggled when she saw Seth carrying a lamp in. He was always weak.

"Well you're not going to be that way, baby" she said, talking to Caden. "You're going to grow up and be a water polo player" she laughed. If Seth had heard her say that he'd probably slap her.

Seth smiled when Summer approached him, lightly kissing him. "Good morning"

"The water works right? Because if Caden doesn't get some milk in his belly soon, he's going to start screaming"

"No, Summer, I bought us a house without running water"

Summer rolled her eyes. "Shut it Cohen. It's too early for sarcasm"

Seth looked around. His life was perfect right now. Him and Summer were back to bantering and insulting each other, they were going to have their own house, graduation was vastly approaching…"I ask you, my friends" he said aloud. "Could life be better?"

This chapter had a lot of things happen. The story is coming to an end. I've got one more dramatic twist, but I figured I'd give you guys a few chapters of lovey-dovey stuff before it unfolds. Thanks for reading and please review!
