The Day Their World Stood Still
Seth sat in the endless line of traffic, his heart in pieces and his head throbbing. What the hell was he going to do?
His wife was in agony and he should be there, he should be there to hold her hand and help her through it. But where was he? Sat in a stupid car in a stupid traffic jam.
He heard a siren and looked in the mirror. A police motorbike was weaving slowly in between the traffic. Seth wound down the window.
"Officer! Officer could you stop a moment please sir!" Seth cried, waving his arms manically. The cop pulled up alongside Seth.
"What's the problem Sir?"
"What exactly is the hold up?" Seth asked.
"Well we have an overturned lorry blocking the three lanes and three cars which were involved in the collision."
"Oh, how long will it take to clear it and to get the traffic moving?"
"The accident officers and fire-fighters are working their hardest Sir, but it'll be 1 hour at least." Seth groaned and held his head.
"Something wrong Sir?"
"Yeah officer, my wife's gone into labour and its our first kid. My brother's with her but, she needs me," Seth groaned. The officer looked at him sympathetically.
"Let me see what I can do…" he pulled out a radio and muttered into it. It crackled and he nodded, replying quickly.
"Okay sir, what I'm going to allow you to do is pull onto the emergency slip road alongside us here and let you drive down it in the other direction. I've made sure that it will be clear for the next 10 minutes. I'll escort you, now is that okay?"
Seth's heart leapt up and he nodded vigorously before doing the fastest turn in the tightest spot.
The cop sped off, his siren going and Seth sped off after him. Thank god. He was going to get there.
"Hold on Summer," he said to himself his determination thrusting his foot on the accelerator.
Summer groaned, beads of sweat running down her flaming cheeks. Marissa grasped her hand tightly as Ryan dabbed her forehead gently.
"It's going to be okay Summer, come on deep breaths sweetie," Marissa said softly.
She wasn't dilated enough to go to the delivery room yet, a godsend in the sense that it gave Seth time to come but the pain was getting unbearable.
"Coop, I can't do this! It hurts too much…" Summer wept, tears streaming down her face.
"Yes you can! I did it so you can! Just try to relax," Marissa replied soothingly rubbing her hand.
"Summer, everything is going to be fine. Don't worry it'll all be over soon," Ryan said. The door opened and a small midwife walked in.
"Okay Summer, how are you doing?"
"What do you think!" she spat, her signature glare sweeping over her features. The nurse laughed as she put on her rubber gloves.
"Well its all going to be over soon, you're ready to deliver," the midwife smiled. Summer's jaw dropped.
"No! Not yet!" she looked over at Marissa helplessly.
"Coop he's not here! I can't do it without him!" she sobbed, her grasp tightening on Marissa's hand.
"Don't worry Sum, I'll come with you. You're not gonna be alone!" Summer could do nothing except weep uncontrollably as she was wheeled out of the room.
She closed her eyes as the contraction took hold of her body, the pain flowing through her.
Her eyes flicked open as she heard his voice. He was here! She felt Seth's hand replace Marissa's.
"Cohen! Where were you! When I can walk I'm gonna kick your scrawny ass!" she breathed.
"Good, I deserve it but right now there are more important things."
"At least you're here… I couldn't do this without you."
"I know, I love you Summer, you're a strong, beautiful person and I'll never leave you again. Even for ice cream, which melted by the way."
Summer smiled and grasped his hand tighter as they entered the delivery room…
"Now come on Summer, you need to push as hard as you can!" The midwife cried, looking down at Summer. Her hair was matted with sweat and her cheeks were flushed.
Her big brown eyes filled with tears as she took deep breaths, preparing herself to push.
"Come on Summer, you can do it," Seth said, clasping her hand in his. She took a deep breath and pushed, she pushed with all the energy she could find.
Summer collapsed back down, the exhaustion setting in.
"I'm sorry Summer but that's not hard enough, I know you're quite small so you're gonna need to push harder." She laid back on her pillow, panting quickly.
"I can't. I can't Seth! Tell her I can't!" She sobbed, her hands shaking.
"You have to Summer. Come on! I know its hard and it hurts…" Seth started.
"No you don't! It hurts so bad! You have no IDEA!" she cried, panting.
"Okay… But come on the sooner you do it, the sooner its over." She looked unconvinced.
"Okay, ill buy you a Porsche," Seth said, sighing.
She smiled and prepared herself to push again. Seth clutched her hand as she sat up.
Her face screwed up in agony as she pushed. Seth cried in pain as she squeezed his hand. She laid back again, panting harder.
"I swear," she breathed, "we are never having sex again!"
"Oh you don't mean that sweetie," Seth smiled, rubbing his hand tenderly.
"One last push Summer!" the midwife cried.
"YES I DO!" Summer screamed as she pushed harder than ever before. Silence fell as the whole room held their breath.
Suddenly a shrill cry echoed through the thick silence. The midwife smiled brightly, as she held up a tiny baby.
"Congratulations, it's a boy." Seth felt tears prickle at his eyes.
A boy.
A little baby boy.
Baby Cohen.
He reached forward to cut the umbilical cord. He held the little boy's hand. The baby wrapped its tiny fingers around Seth's thumb and he melted.
This was it. This was one of the best moments of his life.
Summer sat back, exhausted.
"Okay Summer, well done! The next one should be along in a second…" Summer's eyes flicked open.
"I'm gonna kill you," she mouthed at Seth as she gritted her teeth.

It had been the longest twenty minutes of Seth Cohen's life. It felt like an eternity to Summer Cohen.
But it was the first minutes of their children's lives. And nothing could beat that.
Yes, on 12th of August 2012 at 7.58pm, Summer Cohen gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and girl.
For their friends and family it was the happiest day they'd experienced in a long time and it was even better for Seth and Summer.
The six people waiting anxiously in the relatives room all held their breaths when Seth finally appeared at the door.
Sandy, Kirsten, Ryan, Marissa, Summer's father Peter and her step mom Priscilla sat on the edge of their seats as Seth looked at his shoes.
"A boy and a girl," was all it took for the room to go from deadly silent to an uproar.
Everyone piled onto Seth, hugging him tightly. Kirsten wept onto Marissa's shoulder and even Peter Roberts shed a tear before hugging Seth happily.
It was the day when everyone was genuinely happy.
The world, as Seth knew it, was at peace.
