Chapter 5: Changes

Summer sat up in her rocking chair in the corner of her room trying to rock her little girl to sleep. It had been 3 months since she brought Lily back from the hospital and she couldn't remember the last time she slept without interruption.

She looked to her alarm clock on her bedside table, 2:36am was flashing at her. Lily just would not fall back to sleep and Summer was becoming exhausted, she didn't get to sleep a lot lately and these late nights were really starting to drain all her energy.

I need to sleep; I wish Seth was here, he would help me Summer thought to herself. No don't think like that, don't think about him, you are not going to make this better by thinking about him. Lately it seemed that every time she thought about Seth she would break down in tears, and almost right on cue tears started to well up in her eyes as thought about the simpler times she had spent with her boyfriend.

"I wish he were here, but he just left me Lily, I didn't know what else to do. I knew something was up the second Chino said he was going back, the look on Seth's face said it all. There was nothing I could do for him." Summer said looking down at her daughter almost expecting her to respond.

"Chino was his best friend. Oh man and poor Coop, she's probably so lonely, unless by some chance Chino and Cohen went back. I guess I'll never know that." Summer said realizing how hard it would be for her best friend if she was still alone.

"You would have really liked them, they would've loved you. You're auntie Coop and Uncle Chino. And your father, he would love you more then anything, that's just how he was. He would have been there for us." Summer just kept on talking, reliving her memories of the last year to her three month old, the whole time tears running down her cheeks.

"We're going to get through this together babe, I promise. We'll just have to make some changes. I'll have to make some changes, but I'd do anything for you."

"Oh man Ryan I didn't think it was possible but I think you actually got worse at this game." Seth said they were playing some video game with ninjas or pirates or something like that. "Yep man there goes your head. I win again!" Seth laughed, it had taken him a while but he had finally decided to move on with his life, he was finally getting back to normal.

"What do you think bro? Rematch? I'll take it easy on you this time." Seth asked Ryan, after gloating about his win for five minutes.

"Sure man, let me just go get something to drink. You want something?"

"Ah yes, I think we have some nice chocolate pudding in the fridge I have been waiting to eat. Do you mind getting it for me?"

"Sure, no problem" Ryan said with a laugh, he never quite understood Seth and pudding but he never dared to ask either.

Ryan got up and went to the fridge just as the doorbell rang.

"Hey Seth do you mind getting that? It might be Marissa."

"Sure, I'm on my way."

Seth got up and made his way to the door. "Your in luck Marissa, we're playing PS2 and I'm totally kicking Ryan's ass." Seth said as he opened the door but he didn't find Marissa there at all. All Seth saw was a yellow convertible driving down their driveway. And just as Seth was about to shut the door he noticed something at his feet.

There on the doorstep was a tiny baby sleeping in a basket with a note with Ryan scribbled on the envelope.

"Seth who's at the door? Seth?" Ryan called from the kitchen.

"Um, Ryan you might want to come here man." Seth replied as he best down and brought the basket in the house.

"What is it Seth?" Ryan asked as he came around the corner, but there was need to wait for Seth's reply because he got his answer as he glanced at the basket Seth was carrying in. Inside the basket was a tiny baby bundled in blankets sleeping peacefully. "Um, Seth who is that?"

"Um…I don't really know…there was a note though, has your name on it."

As Seth put the baby down and handed him the note panic took over him. It couldn't be, she said…she lost… thoughts were running through his head like wild fire.

He took the note in his hands and saw the familiar handwriting on the envelope. He opened it and inside found a small letter.

Ryan,

I know that I told you that I lost the baby, but I had to tell you that, I knew you were unhappy. I thought I could raise the baby on my own, but I just couldn't do it. I'm not fit to be a mother, everything about her reminds me of you, and she has your eyes you know. Take her; you can give her the life she deserves, a life I could never offer her. I'm sorry that I lied to you, and that I'm just leaving her with you but I didn't know what else to do, you have the Cohens and I know they will help you. I'm moving away from Chino, you won't know where to find me. Please take care of her. She is your daughter, she deserves your love.

Love Theresa.

P.S Her birth certificate is enclosed.

Ryan pulled out the other piece of paper in the envelope and found the certificate. Christina Rose Atwood. He then looked to the baby still fast asleep. She was beautiful.

"Um, Ryan?" Ryan had almost forgotten that Seth was still in the room.

"She's my daughter." Ryan said handing Seth the letter to read. "Christina Atwood."

At that moment Ryan knew that his whole life had changed.
