Okay people. I have the ending but this chapter is gonna be short!

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing except Jeff, Nicky, Jenn, Allie, Matt and Seth's song(s).

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

After that night, Seth and Summer couldn't keep away from each other. Summer and Allie grew closer as mother and daughter and if truth be told, Seth became a little jealous that Allie gave Summer attention. But he didn't care. The three of them got closer as a family.

January neared which meant New Years. Allie and Ryan spent the whole day in the restaurant preparing food. They ran around the place like chickens without their heads. They cooked, prepared tables, moved tables around. By the time that 5:30 neared they were exhausted and smelly.

"Well uncle Chino…we did it."

"We sure did kiddo…I wanted to ask you something."

"Shoot."

"That night you ran away? Why'd you do it?"

Allie paused and sighed.

"I was pissed."

"Sure you weren't jealous?"

"About?"

"Maybe because you're no longer the only girl in your dad's life?"

"Okay…I was jealous but not anymore…I actually have a mother now…and I'm happy about it."

"Okay…just checking."

Ryan drove him and Allie home. He looked at his niece and thought back to the days when she was younger. When Seth used to work late and Marissa kept Jenn busy…he always used to play with Allie. Play Station was their thing. They always played together and they were usually inseperable…that is until Seth got home…then it was Allie/Seth time. Ryan looked at her and couldn't believe how fast she had grown up and how she made it through her childhood without a mom…although Marissa was a good mother figure, Ryan felt that Allie always had an empty space inside where he knew that only Summer could fill it up.

Allie got home and collapsed on the couch in the family room. The laZboi couches were to her liking and fell asleep within seconds. When Allie was fast asleep, Seth and Summer walked into the house. They stopped in the family room to find Allie fast asleep on the couch curled under the blanket that's usually left out there. Summer and Seth smiled.

"Cohen? Shouldn't we wake her up?"

"No leave her…she's had a long day."

"Okay…"

Seth looked at Summer and smiled. Seth felt so alive these days. Summer was back, Allie was happy and he couldn't be happier.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

That night came quickly. As guests arrived, it was Jenn's job to welcome them. She hated doing it and was relieved when at 7:00, the doors closed.

The night was filled with laughter. Summer and Seth spent the night holding each others hands, being all coupley. Allie was getting disgusted by it and hung out with Scott, Jake and Jenn.

Summer spent the night sitting in Seth's lap while she got reacquainted with the people she hardly knew. She looked at Allie once in a while and Allie shot a big smile at Summer when she caught her eye. Summer sat in her own chair and leaned on Seth and he listened to the sound of her breathing.

"You realize this is the first New Year's we spent together in the past 15 years?"

"Yeah…I'm glad you came back…"

Seth grabbed her hand in his and smiled at her. He then kissed her softly.

Summer felt at home and felt as if nothing could ever break them apart again. The shoulder she was leaning on then moved. Seth got up and offered his hand to her.

"What are you doing Cohen?"

"You wanna dance?"

Love of my life
I don't have a lot to give you
What's in my heart
Is all that I can really give you
Love, undying love is all I have
A handful of words, that might make you laugh

"Sure." Seth led her to the dance floor and he wrapped his hands around her waist.

And all the strength you need
To make it through
All your troubled times
I give all of myself to you
Only you
My dream come true

Their foreheads touched together.

Love of my life
You were all I ever wanted
To be with you
Is all I ever really wanted
You, you've made my life a fairy tale and
You've added love, to a life that was so stale
And know that I'll be here
Always for you, when you need a friend
I give all of myself to you
Only you
My dream come true

Seth stole a kiss from her and smiled.

I've been waiting my whole life for you
Now my waiting is through
All the nights I spent dreaming I knew
That my dream would come true

Summer leaned on his chest and sighed and then looked at him.

So many nights
I laid awake dreaming I knew
One day I'd be with you
Now all my nights of dreaming are through
Cause my dream has come true
Dream come true
My dream has come true

The countdown then started.

...HAPPY NEW YEAR...

Seth kissed Summer as the confetti from the roof was dropped and it dropped on them. When they broke apart and hugged each other. Seth whispered softly into Summer's ear…

"Happy New Year."

Then Seth looked over at Allie who was caught under the mistletoe with Jake. Summer followed Seth's eyes to Allie. Seth was shocked and raised his eyebrows. Summer laughed lightly and kissed him again…but he was still in shock.

"Cohen...?"

Seth looked at Summer.

"She's growing up…live with it."

Seth nodded.

Allie made her way over to her father and her mother. She embraced her father with a hug and a "Happy New Year." She then turned to Summer. This was the first New Year EVER that Allie spent with her mother. She hugged her. Summer kissed Allie's temple. Seth went to sit down. Allie watched after him in confusion.

"He saw you under the mistletoe with Jake…he was shocked."

Allie blushed and smiled.

Seth looked at Summer and Allie. He smiled at them and Seth noticed that Allie still inherited Summer's smile. He was happy. He waved them over and Allie and Summer made their way to the table to sit with Seth.

This was definitely the best New Years ever for Allie
