Good News
It was 5 days before the wedding and Ryan and Marissa were leaving for the bachelor and bachelorette parties. Ryan, Seth, Sandy, and Jimmy were going to Vegas for the weekend, while Marissa, Summer, Kirsten, Julie, and the bridesmaids were going to L.A.
"Be careful." Ryan said, putting Marissa's bags into the back of her car. Marissa smiled and put her arms around his waist.
"I will. But you be careful too. No strippers." She said warningly.
"I promise." He said, kissing her and then opening the car door for her.
Seth and Summer appeared and Seth threw Summer's bags into the back of Marissa's car.
"Keep an eye on Seth for me Chino." Summer told Ryan, getting into the car. "If I hear that he was anywhere near a stripper, I'll kick his scrawny ass!"
Seth leaned over the car door while Marissa started the car. "Aw, I love you too Summer." He said kissing her.
"Shut up Cohen!" Summer said, pulling Seth close to her.
Ryan rolled his eyes and leaned over to kiss Marissa. "Have fun. Call me when you get to the hotel."
"I will. I love you." Marissa said, putting on her seatbelt. "Ok guys," She said loudly, nudging Summer, "Time to go."

"I love L.A.!" Summer said, falling onto the bed in the hotel room she and Marissa were sharing.
"We've been here for like 20 minutes Sum." Marissa said, opening her cell phone and dialing Ryan's number. Summer went into the bathroom to look around and left Marissa to talk to Ryan in private
"Hello?" Ryan answered on his cell.
"Hey Ryan." Marissa said. "I'm at the hotel."
"Ok. How was the drive?"
"Good. Where are you?" Marissa asked.
"In the middle of nowhere. We'll be in Vegas in about 2 hours." Ryan told her. "I'll tell Seth you guys are there."
"Ok. Well I guess I'll talk to you tomorrow."
"Yeah. Bye."
"Bye." Marissa said, hanging up.
"That was short." Summer said, coming out of the bathroom.
"I guess." Marissa said, going to unpack her suitcase. She and Summer put all of their clothes into the dresser.
"We should get ready." Marissa said. "We said we'd meet everybody up at the bar at 7:00."
Marissa and Summer got dressed and then went down to the hotel bar. The two of them were on the dance floor when Summer started to feel sick.
"What's wrong Summer?" Marissa asked worriedly.
"I think I'm going to be sick." Summer said, as she rushed off to the bathroom and Marissa followed her. Summer rushed into a stall and leaned over the toilet. Marissa grabbed her friend's hair and held it back while she threw up.
"Are you ok Sum?" Marissa asked, helping Summer back up.
"Yeah. I didn't even have much to drink, just half a beer." Summer told Marissa.
"We should go to the doctor." Marissa said, opening the door.
"No." Summer said. "I don't want to ruin your weekend."
Marissa shook her head. "Sum, I don't care about that. I just want to make sure you're ok."
"Fine." Summer agreed. "But I just want you to come." They walked over to Julie and Kirsten, the others were all on the dance floor and drinking, except Kaitlin who was underage.
"I'm going to take Summer to the hospital." Marissa told them.
"Why? Are you ok Summer?" Kirsten asked, with a worried look.
"I'm fine. I'm just not feeling well." Summer told them. They went to the front desk to see where the nearest hospital was and they got into the car.

"Summer Roberts," A nurse at the hospital called out, "They're ready to see you."
Summer got off her chair and followed the nurse into a room where a doctor was waiting.
"Hello Ms. Roberts," She said, "My name is Dr. Hanson. What seems to be the problem?"
"Well, I was just dancing and then I started feeling sick. I ran to the bathroom and threw up, and I have no idea." Summer told her.
"Ok. Have you been feeling sick often?" Dr. Hanson asked.
"No."
"Ok. We'll just examine you to make sure everything is fine." The doctor said as she got up. She handed Summer a hospital gown and left the room. She came out of the room and headed to and examination room.
"We'll just do a routine exam." The doctor said, as Summer laid down on the bed.

"Alright Summer," Dr. Hanson said, sitting down in a chair in front of Summer, "We've found out why you were sick. Summer, you're pregnant."
Summer sat there completely shocked. "I'm p-pregnant?" She asked. She couldn't believe what the doctor was saying. "How long?"
"Not even a month. Should I go get your friend?" She asked.
"Yes please." Summer said, staring straight at the wall.
The doctor left and a couple of minutes later Marissa came in and sat down beside her best friend.
"What's going on Sum?" She asked taking Summer's hand in her own.
"Marissa, I'm pregnant!" Summer told her excitedly. They both jumped up and hugged each other tightly.
"Oh my god Summer! That's great!" Marissa shrieked.
"I know! I have to call Cohen!"
"Do it from the hotel. I hate hospitals and I want to get out of here." Marissa told her, already starting to leave the room.
"Do you think he'll be happy?" Summer asked as they got into the car.
"Of course he will be Sum! Now all you have to do is get married." Marissa said.
"Yeah, just a soon as Cohen gets the courage to propose."
"Why don't you propose?" Marissa asked playfully.
"Coop, you know I find that weird. It's more romantic if the guy asks." Summer told her. Summer always dreamed of getting proposed too, not do the proposing.

"Seth?" Summer asked on her cell phone. She had called him to give him the news.
"Summer? Is everything ok?" Seth asked worriedly.
"Well I just called you to let you know that I wasn't feeling well so I went to the hospital and-" Summer started, but Seth cut her off.
"The hospital? Summer are you ok?" Seth asked quickly.
"Yes Cohen! Just let me finish." Summer said annoyed. "I went to the hospital and they told me that I'm pregnant."
"What?" Seth asked completely shocked. He was not expecting this. "Are you serious Summer?"
"Yeah. Are you ok?"
"I'm fine, I think. I'm happy I guess." Seth told her.
"Really Cohen?" Summer asked. She hoped Seth would want this. She did, but she wasn't expecting it to happen so soon.
"Yes. I mean, we're going to have kids some day anyway. Might as well start now." He said.
"I love you Seth." Summer said, smiling. She was so glad Seth was ok with this.
"I love you too Summer. I have to go now, but I'll call you tomorrow."
"Ok. Can you tell Ryan, Sandy, and Jimmy for me?" Summer asked.
"Sure honey. Bye."
"Bye."
Seth closed the phone and went back to the bar where everybody was.
"Hey kid, who was that?" Sandy asked, as Seth sat down on a stool beside him.
"Summer." Seth said. He was waiting for the right moment to tell them.
"Is everything ok?" Ryan asked.
"Yeah."
"Well then what did she want, if it's any of our business." Sandy asked with a wink.
"To tell me she's pregnant." He said, smiling.
Sandy stared at Seth while Ryan and Jimmy hugged Seth. "Congratulations Seth!" They both said.
"Thanks. Dad, are you alright." Seth asked, noticing his father's shocked expression.
"I'm just a little surprised. But congratulations son!" He said, pulling Seth into a hug. "I have to call your mother."
"No Dad. Let Summer tell her." Seth said.

Marissa and Summer went back to the booth at the bar that Julie and Kirsten were sitting in.
"Hey guys. Is everything ok Summer?" Julie asked.
"Yeah. Everything is great actually." She said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Kirsten asked, noticing Marissa smiling as well. "What's going on?"
"I'm pregnant!" She said loudly, but not too loudly.
"Oh that's great Summer!" Kirsten said, hugging her. "Have you told Seth yet?"
"Yeah, I called him a few minutes ago." Summer said.
"How far along are you?" Julie asked.
"A couple of weeks." Summer told them. "But let's not talk about me. This is Marissa's night.
