Beginning of the Families

"Come on Summer! You can do it!" Seth encouraged Summer. He was holding her sweaty hand while she was giving birth. She had started going into labor at about 2 in the morning and she had been in labor for about 1 hour.

"Cohen, if you tell me I can do it one more time I'll go rage blackout on you so much you'll wish you never touched me in the first place!" Summer shouted. "Where the hell is Marissa?"

"I'll go check." Seth said, trying to get out of Summer's grip.

"Hurry up!" She screamed again. Seth ran out into the hall and dialed Ryan's cell number.

"Hello." Ryan answered.

"Where are you guys? Summer's going to kill me if you don't show up soon."

"We're 15 minutes from the hospital."

"Ok. Hurry." Seth said, then shut his phone and run back to Summer and grabbed her hand. "They'll be here in 15 minutes."

"Summer," The doctor said, "You're a small person so you're going to have to push really hard."

"How much longer?" She asked, resting her head on the pillow.

"Another couple of hours." The doctor said. Just then Marissa, Ryan, Kirsten, and Sandy appeared in the doorway. Marissa ran over to Summer and took her other hand while Seth lead the others into the waiting room.

An hour and a half later Marissa came out and Seth went back to Summer. She went and sat down beside Ryan and he handed her a bottle of water.

"I'm not looking forward to giving birth." Marissa said, then took a long sip of water.

"Yeah, well I'm not looking forward to you yelling at everyone either." He joked. Summer was yelling at practically everyone.

"She's in a lot of pain."

"I know."

A little while later Seth came into the waiting room. "It's a girl, which we knew." He said. Marissa almost cried and ran over to him. It was hard to hug Marissa because of her large stomach.

"Congratulations." Ryan said hugging his brother.

"Can we go see her?" Kirsten asked.

"Yeah." Seth said leading them into Summer's room. She was sitting up holding the baby in a pink blanket. She looked exhausted.

"Summer she's adorable." Marissa cried, taking the baby in her arms. She passed the baby over to Ryan and bet down to hug her best friend. After everybody held her Seth took her and Summer fell asleep. Ryan, Marissa, Kirsten and Sandy went home but were coming back in the morning.

"What should we name her Summer?" Seth asked, sitting beside his fiancé and daughter.

"Well we decided on Grace and Amber. She looks like an Amber."

"Then Amber it is. Amber what?"

"Isabella." Summer said. She had always loved that name and it fit great with Amber.

"Amber Isabella Cohen."

Half an hour later Ryan and Marissa showed up.

"Hey. Did you name her?" Marissa asked, sitting down in a chair.

"Yeah. Amber Isabella." Summer said.

"That's beautiful!" Marissa said happily. "When are you taking her home?"

"In two days." Seth said. "And might I say Marissa, you look like you're going to go into labor any second."

"I hope not. I still have another month." Marissa told him.

One month later:

"Ryan make it stop!" Marissa screamed.

"I wish I could baby." Ryan said, gripping her hand tighter. Marissa had just gone into labor. "Everyone will be here soon."

"They better be!" She shouted. "This whole labor thing sucks!"

Five hours later:

"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Atwood," The doctor said, holding up a crying baby, "You have a baby girl."

Marissa laid down and closed her eyes. Ryan pushed the hair of her face and helped her sit up so she could hold the baby. She held the little girl in her arms while Ryan kissed her on the lips.

"I love you." He said

"I love you too. Thank you for being here with me." She said, handing the baby over to him.

"What should we name her?" Ryan asked.

"Can we do it later? I'm tired."

"Of course."

"Marissa?" Summer asked, sitting on the chair beside Marissa's bed. "Feeling better?"

"Yeah. That was the most physical pain I've ever been through."

"I know what you mean. So can I hold the baby?"

"If Ryan will let her go. She's going to be the biggest daddy's girl when she's older." She said, smiling at Ryan.

"Look who's talking." He said, handing the baby to Summer. Since he first met Marissa he knew she was a daddy's girl.

"When are you going to name her?" Seth asked, coming into the room.

"Well we're stuck between Brittney and Annabelle." Marissa said.

"Not Annabelle. It reminds me of- never mind." He said. They would have called her Anna for short and he knew Summer would not like that.

"Brittney Helena Atwood." Marissa said.

Three days later Ryan and Marissa brought Brittney home. They decided the purple nursery would be hers and then they personalized it. Marissa wanted a big purple B to hang on the wall so Ryan let her.

"I want an M for our room now." Marissa joked.

"No. You wouldn't let me put a Playstation in the bedroom."

"Hey, at least I let you have one." Marissa said. She had simply refused to let Ryan put the Playstation in the bedroom so he put it in the TV room instead.

"I would have gotten one anyways." Ryan said. He pulled Marissa into him and began kissing her, then Brittney started crying.

"I'll take care of it." Marissa said, going to the nursery.

She picked Brittney up and started rocking her in her arms. Ryan came and stood in the doorway and watched his two girls. "What?" Marissa asked.

"Nothing." Ryan said, walking over to her. He put his arms around her and they just stood there for who knows how long.

Yes. They could get used to this life. They didn't know what the future held, but all they knew was that they'd be together forever, their family, friends, and most of all, each other.

The End

Thanks to all my reviewers and to everyone who kept up with my story. At the beginning I didn't expect so many people to read and like my story! I know how many people read this story so I have decided to write a sequel! It should be up sometime in January.
