oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

July 15th …5 years after Allie's 3rd birthday.

An eight year old Allie made her way home with her cousin Jenn along side of her and her father. They were at the beach when Ryan had called them to say that Marissa had gone into labour. That's right. Ryan and Marissa got married two years prior and were now expecting twins. They moved out of the house in the numbered streets and bought one of their own. Seth had decided to stay in the house that they already had.

When they got to the hospital, they found Sandy and Kirsten already there along with Jimmy and Julie.

"How is she?"

"She's great."

"Uncle Seth? Where's mommy and daddy?"

Seth bent down to his niece.

"Mommy is having the babies."

"Where's daddy?"

"Daddy's with her."

"Oh…can I go see them?"

"Uh…I dunno…wait here."

Seth went towards Jimmy.

"Can she see them?"

"Yeah sure. You want me to take her?"

"Uh sure."

Jimmy grabbed Jenn's hand and made their way towards Marissa's room.

Meanwhile Marissa was talking to Ryan about something that the past had given to her.

"What do you mean? How long ago?"

"It was a month after Allie turned 3."

"Wow…were you pissed?"

"What do you think? She leaves then calls three years later? Obviously."

"So all those business trips?"

"Some of them were business trips…it was a cover up for Seth…what do you think he'd say if he found out?"

"So I guess you want me to keep this a secret?"

"Would you?"

"Sure thing."

Ryan gave his wife a kiss and at that moment Jimmy came into the room with Jenn.

"Hey kiddo…Jenn wanted to see you."

Jenn ran to her parents and gave them a big hug.

"How are you mommy?"

"I'm fine hun."

"Daddy? Are you okay? Nervous? Excited?"

"You've been hanging out with your uncle too much."

Jenn gave her dad a smile…very big one. The doctor then came into the room.

"Marissa you are now 6 cm dilated. We're moving along at a good pace. I'll be back later to check up on you."

"Thanks."

Then Seth came into the room with his hands stuffed in his front pocket and Allie beside him.

"Hey guys. Allie wanted to see her 'Aunt Coop and Uncle Chino' so…"

"He Allie…come here you feel the babies in my mommy's stomach."

"O-okay…can I daddy?"

"Sure thing…go ahead."

Allie walked towards her aunt and stood beside Jenn. She was a great deal taller than Jenn. About 4 inches taller. She went over beside Jenn and Marissa grabbed her hand and held it to her stomach and Allie felt them moving and smiled.

Ryan looked at Seth noticed Seth's facial expression. Seth had seen Allie smile and that hurt Seth because that smile reminded everyone of Summer. Seth had always thought about what he and Allie would do if Summer did come back. He thought about it often…but I was useless because she would never come back.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

About an hour later the doctor came back into the room.

"Marissa, 10 cm…you're ready to go. Everyone needs to leave and I need you to be rolled into delivery."

Everyone filed out of the room and Marissa was rolled into delivery.

Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know singing

Marissa being rolled into the delivery room and there's the doctor and 2 nurses. Ryan rushes beside her and grabs her hand.

Come out upon my seas,
Cursed missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease, singing

You are, you are, you are
You are, you are, you are

Marissa is pushing and Ryan is there holding her hand and one baby comes out…it's a boy.

Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go

Marissa is pushing again and another baby comes out…it's again a boy but they are fraternal twins.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ryan came out of the delivery room.

"I have two sons :D"

Home, home where I wanted to go

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Everyone was crowded in the recovery room. Marissa and Ryan were holding the twins and everyone was admiring them. Seth was the first to speak.

"So watcha gonna name them?"

"Uh…the one that Marissa's holding Jeffery Daniel Atwood and this one that I'm holding is Nicholas James Atwood."

Everyone got to hold them, even Allie and Jenn. They sat them down and took a picture of them holding the twins.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

About another week went by and Marissa and Ryan brought the twins home. Jenn was going to stay with Seth for the night. Ryan and Marissa put the twins down for their nap before the 4:00 feeding. Ryan decided that now was a good time to talk to Marissa about previous convo's.

"Hey Riss? Do you mind me asking how?"

"What do you mean?"

"About…Summer."

Marissa stopped dead in her tracks…she sighed and sat down on the couch. Ryan sat beside her.

"Okay so the day after Allie's fourth birthday I get a phone call at work and my assistant tells me it's someone from New York and I'm thinking to myself 'New York?'"….

Flashback

A woman with glasses and her hair tied up walks towards a door with the words "Marissa Cooper" written on the door and knocks. The woman opens the door and sees Marissa on the phone and cutting fabrics.

"Ms. Cooper? There's a phone call waiting on line 3."

"Can you take a message Denise I'm busy on the phone with a client."

"Uh Ms. Cooper it's long distance and they said it's urgent."

"Okay thank you. (To the client on the phone)I have to go but I'll call you within the hour okay? Okay bye…Hello Marissa Cooper interior Design?"

"Coop?"

Marissa froze. It couldn't be.

"Hello? Marissa are you there?"

"Who is this?"

"I guess I deserve to be forgotten being the idiot I was."

"Summer?"

"Yeah?"

"Oh My God. Can you hold on for like two seconds please? Thanks."

Marissa gets out of her seat and starts walking back and forth across the room. She goes out of her office and sees Denise and talks to her.

"Denise, cancel all of my plans I had for the day."

"Including your lunch with your husband?"

"Yes…tell him I'm sorry and I'll cook tonight."

Marissa went back into her office and picks up the phone.

"So sorry about that Sum…4 years? Why 4 years?"

"I know, I know (sighs)…I was stupid and, and scared and I dunno what to do…I know I should be there but I can't face Cohen and her now."

"Allie."

"What?"

"Your daughter's name? It's Allie."

"Really? What's it short for?"

"Allison."

"Oh."

"Oh my God Sum…she looks exactly like you and has Seth's character and she's so smart."

"So then she takes after her father that way huh?"

"No…she takes after both of you that way."

"So…who thought of her name?"

"Seth did…he named her after you too."

"I feel terrible…I have to come there."

"Don't you think it's a little late Sum? Besides you said it yourself that you're not ready."

"Right…listen uh…I'm really sorry…I was scared and…"

"Hey…BFF right?"

Marissa couldn't see Summer but she knew that she was smiling.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Wow…so she just called out of nowhere?"

"Yup."

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Later that night everyone was at Seth's place for dinner. They were just about to sit down when a cell phone went off.

"Someone's pants are ringing." Said Allie.

"It's mine…Seth could you get it for me it's right behind you."

"Yeah sure."

Seth got up and got the ringing phone. He looked at the display.

"Hey Marissa who do we know who lives in New York?"

Marissa, realizing who it was, shot out of her chair and grabbed the phone from Seth's hand. Ryan looked after her and became worried. Seth was confused and so was everyone else.

"A client…do you guys mind if I take this call?"

No one seemed to mind. Marissa went out of the kitchen and Seth reseated himself.

"She seems really jumpy."

"She just had two kids daddy…wouldn't you be jumpy?"

Marissa was in the family room.

"Sum?"

"Hey Coop…I just needed to talk."

"Do you mind if I call you back later? I'm with everyone right now."

"Do they know it's me on the phone?"

"No…but Seth almost answered it."
