Newport
"Mommy, mommy wake up," Lily whispered in her mother's ear while climbing on top of her.
"Hmmm, sweetie go bug your dad," Summer said pulling her pillow over her head.
"Okay mommy," Lily said as she climbed off of Summer and onto Seth who lay next to her in the bed, "Daddy wake up."
"Go bug your mother," Seth said not opening his eyes.
"But she told me to wake you up," Lily said as she started jumping on the bed successfully getting both her parents attention.
"Okay, okay we're up," Seth said picking Lily up and bringing her downstairs, Summer at his heels.
"Well look who's up," Sandy greeted them cheerily causing Summer to just scowl at him and head for the coffee, "Rough night Summer?" Sandy said with a laugh as Lily jumped into his arms.
"Well it's kinda hard to sleep when Cohen here keeps kicking you!" Summer said taking a place at the table.
"Well at least I don't snore," Seth said pouring himself a cup of coffee.
"I do not snore!" Summer yelled throwing half her bagel at Seth's head.
"You two sound like an old married couple already," Kirsten said entering the room.
"Grandma!" Lily yelled leaping from Sandy's lap and running into Kirsten's arms, who lifted her up and carried her over to where Seth was standing.
"Good morning sweetheart," Kirsten said kissing Lily's cheek and then grabbing the coffee Seth had poured for himself and headed for the table, "Thanks Seth."
"Ya no problem," Seth said sarcastically pouring what was left of the coffee into a mug and taking a seat at the table beside Summer.
"So what are the plans for today?" Sandy asked from the head of the table.
"Well I'm going with Marissa and Julie for dress fittings," Summer said, taking the last bite of her bagel.
"And I've got to help Ryan with some things," Seth said flipping through the newspaper.
"I thought you were going to watch Lily?" Summer asked looking up at Seth who didn't seem to notice.
"Can't you take her with you?" Seth asked without looking up, not wanting to meet Summer's eyes, "I mean she needs a dress doesn't she?"
"She and Chrissy already tried on their dresses, plus I don't want her around Julie," Summer explained reasonably.
"You know we can watch Lily," Kirsten interrupted from across the table where she and Lily were playing I Spy, "I'll call Ryan and tell him to bring Chrissy over too and we'll take the kids out."
"Well are you sure? I mean don't you have to work today?" Summer asked.
"Nope, we both took some time off this summer, figured we could use a brake. And of course we're sure; we want to spend some time with our grandchildren." Sandy explained trading newspapers with Seth.
"Well okay then," Summer said smiling as she watched Lily playing with Kirsten, "How does that sound babe? You wanna spend the day with Grandma and Grandpa?"
"Ya!" Lily said excitedly with a huge smile on her face.

Later that day everyone headed their separate ways, Seth taking the car over to Ryan's so they could head out to do some things for the wedding. Marissa and Julie dropped off Christina and then they along with Summer headed over to the dress shop.
"So kids what do you want to do today?" Sandy asked the two four year olds sitting in front of him.
"I don't know," Christina said shrugging her shoulders.
"Okay, what about you Lily?" Sandy asked Lily who he could tell already had a million ideas going through her head; I mean she is Seth's daughter.
"Could we go to the beach?" Lily asked excitedly, "Mommy always said it was her favorite part about living here, and I've never been to the beach before," Lily explained.
"Sure, how does that sound to you Chrissy?" Sandy asked seeing the excitement in Lily's eyes.
"Sounds good to me," Chrissy said.
So about an hour later Kirsten finally had the kids changed and ready for the beach. As they made their way through Newport to the beach Kirsten couldn't help but laugh at the wondering eyes of Lily as she tried to look at everything they passed. Lily had heard many stories about Newport from both her parents and she was extremely happy to be there and she didn't want to miss a thing.
When they finally stopped the car and parked beside the beach Lily became overwhelmed with excitement as she began to bounce around in the back seat, unable to get her door open. When Kirsten opened the car door both Lily and Chrissy jumped out and ran towards the sand.
"Alright kids wait for us," Sandy said he jogged after the kids while Kirsten grabbed their stuff from the trunk.
They set up an umbrella and some towels on the sand a little further down the beach where there were less people. The beach was pretty busy with teenagers running around, and for a while Lily and Chrissy just played in the sand by their grandparents, trying to make a sand castle with the help of Sandy.
After about an hour though the kids started getting bored of their castle; having had to rebuild it twice because Sandy kept knocking it over.
"Grandpa can we go in the water?" Chrissy asked looking up at Sandy with her big blue eyes.
"Sure kiddo," Sandy said getting up and taking Chrissy's hand, "You coming Lily?"
"Maybe later," Lily said moving to sit down on the towel next to Kirsten's chair.
"Alright then," Sandy said as he and Chrissy raced towards the water.
For a while Lily and Kirsten sat in silence watching Sandy and Christina splashing around in the water.
"Grandma?" Lily asked looking up at Kirsten.
"Ya sweetie?"
"Do you think my mommy and daddy will ever get married like Auntie Coop and Uncle Chino?" Lily asked the sadness evident in her eyes.
"I don't know sweetie," Kirsten said sitting down on the towel and taking Lily in her arms, "You know I've always thought your parents were meant to be together, it's always seemed that nothing could keep them apart."
"That's what Daddy says," Lily said snuggling in close to Kirsten.
"Your Daddy loves your Mommy very much, but sometimes things happen. But Lily even though they're not married they both love you so much, I hope you know that," Kirsten said looking into Lily's dark brown eyes.
"I know, I just wish we could be a family like everyone else," Lily said looking down at the sand.
"Hey, you are a family; your family's just a little different from all the other families. And it's a very special family," Kirsten said kissing the top of Lily's head, "Now how about we go for a swim?"
"I don't know how," Lily said not having ever been swimming before.
"Well I'll teach you," Kirsten said picking Lily up and carrying her towards the water.

Seth walked into the house that night at six to find it completely quiet. He walked into the kitchen to find the table set for two, candles lit and the lights dimmed, music playing softly. Summer was standing at the stove cooking not even noticing Seth.
"Hey," Seth said causing Summer to jump but she smiled when she realized it was him.
"Hey," Summer said walking over to Seth and giving him a kiss.
"What's all this?" Seth asked motioning towards the table.
"Well your parents called and said they were taking the kids out to dinner and then they were gonna catch a movie, so I thought I'd make you dinner," Summer explained as she went back to work at the stove, "The food will be ready in a minute."
"So how was your day?" Seth asked taking a seat at the table.
"Pretty good, except Julie is completely insane. I mean you'd think she was the one getting married with the way she's acting," Summer explained as she began putting food on hers and Seth's plates, "What about you?"
"It was alright; we went and got some new shoes and stuff for the wedding. Then we hung out at Julies and played some Playstation," Seth explained, "This looks great by the way," He said referring to the food.
"Thanks, and I still can't believe you brought the Playstation with you," Summer said laughing as the two began to eat.
"That was great Sum," Seth said after finishing his meal, "So what's the big occasion?" Seth asked curiously hoping he didn't forget about something.
"Nothing, I just wanted to do something nice for you," Summer said shifting in her chair, "And well I had something I wanted to ask you, something I had been thinking about."
"Well what is it?" Seth asked completely clueless as to what was going on.
"Well it's kind of a big deal, but I really think it's for the best."
"Sum what is it?" Seth asked anxious to know.
"Well when we get back to New York I was kinda hoping, that you'd um move in with me and Lily," Summer asked as a smile spread across Seth's face.
"Really? You want me to move in?" Seth asked happily.
"Ya I do, I mean I know we've only been dating a little over a month now but we've known each other a long time and I just thought it'd be nice to live together. Kinda start living like a family," Summer began to ramble, "And I'll understand if you don't want to or if it's too weird or something it's just I really love you Cohen and I just think we'd be so happy if…" Summer was interrupted as Seth's lips met hers.
"Sum, I love you too," Seth said as Summer realized what she said and her face broke out in a smile.
"So you'll move in?"
"Of course I will," Seth said as Summer kissed him.
"You know we've got the house to ourselves, and your parents will probably gone with Lily for a while," Summer said as she got up, took Seth's hand and led him upstairs.

Summer woke up the next morning in Seth's arms, his naked body up against hers. She smiled at the memory of last night, and the decision that Seth would move in with her. She lay silently in Seth's arms for a while and then quietly got up, kissing Seth's forehead and getting dressed. She made her way quietly down the stairs and found Kirsten alone in the kitchen.
"Morning," Kirsten greeted her as she poured two cups of coffee and sat down on one of the stools at the island.
"Thanks," Summer said sitting next to her on the other stool, "How was the movie last night?"
"Oh it was great; the kids had a lot of fun. Lily was completely passed out when we got home though we had a long day."
"Good, I'm glad she got to spend time with you and Sandy," Summer said taking half of the bagel Kirsten offered her.
"Well we were happy to get to spend time with her too," Kirsten said smiling at the girl she had come to see as her daughter four years ago.
"You know Kirsten, I really am sorry I ran away. I mean I wanted to tell you more than anything but I was afraid of what you would think of me," Summer said avoiding Kirsten's eyes.
"What do you mean?" Kirsten asked curiously.
"I mean you were like the only mother figure in my life back then, and I always looked at you that way; like a mother. And I was afraid you would think less of me or something if you knew I was pregnant," Summer explained tears coming to her eyes.
"Summer, I would never think less of you," She said as she took Summer chin in her hand and looked her in the eyes, "And I want you to know that I've always loved you like a daughter," She said as she kissed her forehead and hugged her.
"You know, I'm glad to be back in Newport," Summer said with a laugh as she wiped away her tears and the two women ate breakfast together.
