Steffi
Just An Idiot
The group met outside the Diner at the Pier, their favorite place to grab some food since High School.
Marissa and Summer hugged as they saw each other. Since Summer had found out about her pregnancy this afternoon, she seemed to glow from excitement. Marissa loved to see her best friend so happy. After all she had been going through before marrying Seth, bliss finally seemed to give her what she deserved.
Ryan and Seth exchanged a brotherly handshake and started to go in, dragging Summer and Marissa behind them.
"So have you told him yet?" Marissa asked, pointing out to Seth who was locked in a conversation with his brother.
Summer shook her head, her long brown hair swinging around her shoulder as she did so. "Not yet. I need a special moment for it, you know. Like a candlelight dinner or something like that."
Marissa smiled. "Very classy, good idea." She said.
Summer smiled back. "I know it's not very original, but I want it to be perfect. This is like the best moment of my life, and I want to make it memorable forever." She paused and frowned. "God, this sounds so damn cheesy, I don't know myself anymore." Seeming disgusted, she shook her head. "I guess it's the hormones."
The girls laughed and followed their men to their favorite table.
After ordering, the subject of the conversation focused on the latest news, and in this case, it was Marissa's pregnancy and the fact that Ryan and her would be parents soon.
"So when are you gonna ask Marissa to marry you?" Seth asked and grinned at Ryan.
Even though Ryan and Marissa had been living together pretty much since college and even though they were expecting a baby, they still didn't want to get married.
"I don't plan on it so soon, why are you bothering?" Ryan asked jokingly, his eyes narrowed.
Marissa jumped in for Ryan's defense. "We don't need to get married. At least not now, since I would be the fattest bride ever."
The group laughed and Marissa shook her head. "No, we don't need to get married." She repeated. "We're happy as it is now."
Summer smiled to herself, her thoughts going towards the little baby that was growing inside of her. She felt like the happiest person on earth, carrying the proof of love between her and the man she loved the most inside of her.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Marissa, who pulled a sonogram picture out of her handbag. "You wanna see the baby?" she asked.
"Oh yeah please, I'd LOVE to!" Seth said, making fun of the girls and how excited they became whenever the subject changed to babies.
Marissa gave Seth an unnerved look and put the sonogram on the table.
Summer took it and broke into a huge grin. "Coop, it's so cute! It's like the perfect human being!"
Marissa smiled broadly. "Do you wanna know what it is?"
Summer's eyes widened. "You know what it is? Oh my God, of course I want to know!"
Marissa smirked at her best friend. "Guess."
Summer examined the picture carefully. "Well, I can't see the little thing on it, so I guess…" She left the question unasked.
Marissa nodded proudly. "We're having a girl!" she chimed, clutching her hands tightly together.
Summer felt some tears of joy rising inside of her, the hormones of pregnancy giving their best to make her cry now.
She waved with her hand to stop the tears from coming, but when she saw that Marissa started to cry as well, she let them run.
The two girls took each other's hands and mumbled things about being happy and everything being perfect.
Ryan and Seth exchanged some unnerved glances.
"Man, you've gotten yourself into some deep s, do you know that?" Seth joked, leaning back into his seat.
Ryan nodded. "Believe me, I know."
"Hormones, crying, laughing, yelling, morning sickness, mood swings… great stuff." Seth went on counting the – to him – bad aspects of pregnancy.
Summer gave him an angry glance. "God Cohen, shut up!" she said, hitting Seth's knee with her foot.
"Ouch! What did I do to you?" Seth asked reproachfully.
"Just stop talking like that in front of Marissa, okay?"
Seth shrugged and went on talking to Ryan. "See, that's why I don't need any children. I'm being bossed around enough from my wife."
Summer let go of Marissa's hands and put them on her hips. "What does that mean, you don't need any children?"
"See, children are dirty, they wake you up in the middle of the night, you need to worry about them all the time, let alone the huge responsibility you have to take when you have one…. They cost a lot of money… shall I go on?"
Summer felt her heart sinking. Was Seth being serious?
"You're… just joking, right?" she asked, hesitating.
Seth firmly shook his head. "Nope."
Summer watched him and couldn't reply. She was too occupied with her thoughts at the moment.
Seth laid one of his arms around Summer's shoulders, pulling her closer. "We don't need any children. For now, life's easier without them." He said.
Summer's heart pounded heavily now. She felt new tears coming up inside of her. When no one said anything, she excused herself to the bathroom to gather herself.
Marissa gave Seth an angry look. "You're such an idiot." She said and went after her best friend.
Seth looked at Ryan, shocked. "I was just joking. You know that I was joking, right?"
Ryan nodded. "Yeah, I know. Seems like the ladies aren't in the mood for a joke today."
