Chapter 9: Meet the Daughter
Summer could hardly sleep that night, thoughts swimming through her mind. What would she tell Lily? What's dinner going to be like with Seth there? That was the one thing she could not stop thinking about: Seth. She had thought that she had gotten over Seth a long time ago but after seeing Seth that night she wasn't so sure of that anymore.
Summer had finally drifted off to sleep and was having a wonderful dream about her, Seth and Lily being a real family, buying a house together and starting a huge family together, when she was woken by the sound of the phone ringing.
"Hello?" A very sleepy Summer answered.
"Mommy?" Came a small voice on the other end of the phone.
Panic took over Summer, "Lily baby what's wrong? Is everything okay?"
"I'm fine!"
"Then baby what is it?" Summer let out a sigh of relief that there was nothing wrong.
"Kaitlyn's mommy made me call; you were supposed to pick me up a half hour ago."
"I thought I was supposed to pick you up at noon?" Summer said with confusion but as she looked at her alarm clock she realized her mistake. "Oh, crap. Sorry babe I must have slept in, um just tell Kaitlyn's mom I'll be there in ten minutes okay?"
"Okay mommy, see you soon, love you."
"Love you too babe."

"So did you have fun last night babe?" Summer asked as her and Lily entered their apartment.
"Yep! It was a lot of fun! We played Barbies, and hide and seek, and we baked cookies, and watched movies! It was awesome!"
"That's good, well next time we'll have to have Kaitlyn come here, how does that sound?" Summer asked laughing at the excited look on Lily's face; it kind of reminded her of the face Seth made last night getting all excited about being a dad.
"That would be awesome!" Lily said jumping onto the couch.
"Hey, sweetie, there's something we need to talk about." Summer said sitting on the couch next to Lily.
"What?"
"Well you know how your Auntie Coop lives here in New York now?"
"Ya."
"Well, you dad lives here now too and he lives on the floor just below us. And well I talked to him last night and he really wants to meet you so he's going to come over for dinner tonight. Does that sound okay?" Summer said a little unsure of how this would all sound to a four year old.
"I'm gonna meet my daddy?" Summer nodded at wide eyed Lily who was looking up with her considering the thought. Suddenly a smile spread across Lily's face and she jumped into Summer's arms. "I knew he'd come I just knew it!" Lily then got up from the couch and started running for her bedroom.
"Babe where are you going?"
"I have to start getting ready! I have to find something to wear!"
Summer laughed as Lily disappeared into her room. She gets more like me everyday.

At 4:00pm while Summer was trying her best to cook a descent meal there was a knock at the door.
"Oh God that better not be him, I told him five!" Summer said rushing to get the door, taking a quick glance at herself in the mirror by the door, her hair was in a messy ponytail and she hadn't even applied any makeup yet.
She reluctantly opened the door ready to send Seth home until five, but Seth wasn't the one standing at the door.
"Chino, oh my God hey!" Summer said greeting Ryan with a hug.
"Hey Sum! How you doing?"
"Freaking out a little bit, how bout you?"
"I'm good. Listen I know you're probably busy getting ready for tonight and everything I just wanted to talk to you for a minute."
"Oh no, of course its fine come on in." Summer said letting Ryan into the apartment.
"I just wanted you to know Seth, he's really nervous about this whole thing tonight; he really doesn't want to mess this up. And not just with your daughter, but with you."
"What do you mean?" Summer asked pure confusion on her face.
"I mean, he cares about you Sum, he always has, he never stopped. I've watched him these past four years, screwing up all his relationships because they weren't you. I just thought you should know, he really cares."
"Thanks Chino, you know I want us to be a family with Lily, but I mean it's been four years, we're both different now. But he has nothing to worry about with Lily, she'll love him."
Ryan smiled and started back towards the door.
"Hey Chino wait a sec." Summer disappeared around the corner and came back a minute later wait a little girl attached to her hand. "Chino this is Lily, Lily this is your uncle Chino." Summer introduced the two.
"Hi uncle Chino! I'm gonna meet my daddy today! Do you know my daddy?" Lily said with a big smile on her face.
"Yep, your dad's my brother. He's really excited about getting to meet you."
Lily's smile got even better as she went running back to her room.
"She's been getting ready since I told her; I think she's still picking out clothes." Summer explained.
"Well she is your daughter," Ryan said with a laugh, "well I should get going. But um, you and Lily should come over sometime soon, you have to meet Christina."
"That sounds great. See you later Chino, and thanks."
"No problem," and Ryan left Summer to get herself ready for the big dinner.

At five o'clock on the dot there was a knock on the door and Summer made her way nervously to answer it. She took a glance at herself in the mirror once again this time pleased with her appearance. She let her hair down, and put on a cute little dress. She opened the door to find a nervous looking Seth holding to bouquets of flowers.
"For you," Seth said handing Summer one of the bouquets.
"Why thank you, Cohen. Come on in."
Seth walked in looking around the room expecting to find Lily.
"Oh sorry Lily's still in her room. Lily! Lily come on your…dad is here!" Summer waited but Lily still hadn't come out. "Lily?" Still no answer. "Um, one minute let me just go find her."
"Sure,"
Summer walked into Lily's room to find Lily laying face down on her bed wearing her favorite pink dress. "Lily, your dad's here. Didn't you hear me calling you?" Summer asked approaching her bed and sitting down.
Lily sat up and looked at Summer with tears in her eyes.
"Baby what's wrong?" Summer said taking her daughter into her arms.
"What if doesn't like me? What if he doesn't like me so much that he leaves? What if I'm not what he wanted?" Lily said crying into her mothers shoulder.
"Oh baby, your father would love you no matter what. He'll love you."
"Promise?" Lily said looking into her mothers eyes.
"I promise!" Summer said as she grabbed a tissue to wipe away Lily's tears. "Come on princess it's going to be fine." Summer said as she took Lily's hand and lead her into the living room.
Seth was looking at pictures while Summer went to get Lily. Most of the pictures were of Lily and Summer smiling happily at the camera. Seth loved looking at the pictures but there was one picture in particular that he liked. Sitting on the end table by the couch were two pictures. One of Ryan, Marissa, Summer and Seth all smiling on the beach not a care in the world, and the other was on Summer and Seth by Seth's pool. Seth was holding onto Summer and they were both smiling happily. The picture put a smile on Seth's face.
Summer walked in the living room to find Seth looking at the picture she knew to be of her and him with a smile on his face. Summer cleared her throat, and Seth jumped placing the picture back on the table and turning around.
Seth looked down at Lily and a huge smile appeared on his face. He walked up to her and got down to eye level with her.
"Hey there, you must be Lily." Lily nodded keeping slightly close to her mother. "I'm Seth, well your dad, you can call me Seth if you want though, or you can call me dad it doesn't really matter to me," Seth began rambling until Summer cleared her throat again. "Oh, um these are for you," Seth said holding out the flowers in his hand.
A smile spread across Lily's face, "Daddy!" She yelled as she jumped into Seth's arms. Seth tensed with shock when Lily hugged him but he soon loosened up and hugged her back. Summer watched from the side with tears in her eyes.
Lily broke the hug and met Seth's eyes "I'm really happy you're here!" She said with a smile.
"I'm really happy I'm here too, I want to learn all about you." Seth said with the exact same smile.
"Well dinner should be ready in about ten minutes. I hope you like spaghetti." Summer said.
"Spaghetti sounds great," Seth responded.
"Lily why don't you show Seth around while I finish getting everything ready."
"Okay mommy, come on daddy I'll show you my room."
Lily grabbed Seth by the hand and led him in the hall and into her room. Seth walked into a room that he was pretty sure was designed by Summer. The walls were pink and the whole room had the word princess written everywhere.
Lily made her way to her bed looking for something, when she found it she held it up to Seth. It was a pink My Little Pony figurine that Seth recognized to be just like the one Summer used to have but in a different color.
"This is Princess Oats" Lily said proudly.
"Princess Oats?" Seth said with a laugh.
"Yep! Mommy always tells me stories about you and Captain Oats, and she has Princess Sparkle so when she bought this for me I wanted to name mine just like yours and mommies!"
Seth smiled and he and Lily sat a talked for a while until Summer called them in the dinning room to eat. During the dinner Lily and Summer told Seth stories of the past four years, stopping occasionally to let Seth tell them a story. Seth then went on to tell Lily stories about him and her mommy, but he soon found that these stories were already very familiar to Lily. After they finished eating they all sat on the couch and watched Golden Girls together.
Lily was sitting between Seth and Summer and her eyes were slowly starting to close.
"So I was thinking that me and Lily could hang out tomorrow, go to the park and stuff? I mean you could come too if you want Sum."
"No, no you two should spend time together. How does that sound baby?"
"Really good!" Lily said with a yawn as she laid her head against Seth's arm.
"Great, and then I was thinking we could meet you at Ryan and Marissa's for dinner, they really want you two to come."
"Sure that sounds great, but I think we should probably get this one to bed." Summer said motioning to the now sleeping Lily.
Seth picked Lily up and carried her to her bed. He left the room while Summer got her changed into her pajamas and returned to kiss her goodnight. He bent down and kissed Lily on the forehead. "Goodnight Princess."
"Night daddy, I love you," Lily replied sleepily.
"Love you too."
Summer and Seth left the room and made their way to the door. Seth turned to Summer and asked,
"So, um I'll pick her up around noon tomorrow?"
"Sounds good,"
"Thanks for dinner it was great. She's amazing you know you did an awesome job with her." Seth said.
"Thanks," Summer said taking a new interest in her shoes.
"So, I'll see you tomorrow then," Seth said as he kissed Summer on the cheek and left the apartment.
"Night Seth," Summer said to the already closed door.
