Holly slid into the booth beside Anna, and both of the blondes, though holding quite different personalities, held the same gaze of business as they both looked over the person they were meeting here today. Though Holly's idea of a business-like representation severely bordered on red-light-district business.
"Glad you made it." Holly told the young man sitting across from them. "I replaced that blender you broke, by the way. No need to apologize." She added, batting her eyelashes.
"Why the hell did you call me here?" The guy asked, looking at both girls disinterestedly. Holly's grin grew flat and she elbowed Anna. Reaching under the table they were sitting at, Anna produced a photograph of a certain dark haired girl, sliding it across the table to the man.
"Remember her?" Holly asked, tapping the photograph with a perfectly manicured nail.
"Yeah. That bitch." The man commented.
"Yep, that bitch." Holly agreed with a plastered smile. "You're going to help us get back at her." Holly told him.
"Who says I'm gonna do that?" The guy retorted. Holly smirked, leaning over the table and unbuttoning the top button of the man's shirt.
"I say so." Holly replied simply, sitting back in her seat and winking at the guy playfully. A look of dawning realization of what he could have, even for just a night, hit the man and he nodded.
"Why the hell not?" He responded.

"Summer, you have to go to school eventually!" Seth told her, gripping the pillow she had snuggly plopped over her head and yanking it away. Summer grabbed the other end, pulling the pillow back to her.
"I'm pregnant! Sickly! I can't go!" Summer moaned in annoyance, giving the pillow a good tug. Seth, dressed in the usual novelty tee and jeans for school, didn't give up and kept a death grip on his end.
"Stop making excuses! You can, and you have to! You've already missed an entire week and all you've done is lounge around the pool all day, sipping lemonade and working your tan!"
"Welcome to California, Cohen!" Summer replied snippily, engaging in more futile attempts to win back her pillow.
"MOM!" Seth yelled out into the hallway, and in a split second Kirsten Cohen had walked into the room. Summer quickly let go of the pillow, clutching her bed sheets dearly. The Cohens' had bought an extra bed and cleared out one of their many offices for her to stay and sleep in, since the pool house was already taken. "Mom, Summer won't get up and go to school." Seth told her. Kirsten looked at Summer, who in turn elicited a soft moan.
"Mrs. Cohen, I'm sorry. I just... don't think I'm up for it. I've been feeling so weak lately, and I don't know how I'll be able to concentrate. Maybe Seth could bring home my homework for me?" She suggested, feigning innocence. Kirsten turned to look at Seth, a miniscule smirk across her features. Brushing a few strands of blonde hair out of her face, Kirsten spoke to her son.
"That sounds like a good idea to me. Why don't you do that? Oh, and stop badgering her. She's going through a rough time right now." Kirsten added before walking out of the room. Seth's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe that Summer just won his mother over with that act.
"It's because she was pregnant with you." Summer told him. Seth turned to face her. "You're wondering why she's got all that sympathy for me, right? It's because she knows what it's like to be pregnant. Now I'll be taking that back." Summer reached for her end of the pillow, taking Seth by surprise, who was still holding onto it, and pulling the pillow along with Seth down towards her. Seth fell over onto the bed into the place beside her and Summer inched back, as if any sudden move might kill her.
"You want me that badly, Summer?" Seth questioned innocently. Summer let out a low growl, using her hands to shove him off of her bed.
"Out!" She ordered, pointing to the door. Seth grinned, standing up and brushing himself off. Bending over her bed, he planted a kiss on the corner of her forehead before quickly exitting the room, closing the door behind him. After he left, Summer pushed herself up into a sitting position, touching the temple where he had kissed her lightly.

"Seth!" Upon 'surprise' at running into him in the middle of the hallway, right after Seth had got out from his second period class, Anna had dropped all the books she had been carrying, which clattered onto the floor in a succesion of several loud and defining 'thuds'.
"Oh, uh, hi Anna." Seth offered her an amiable smile and bent down, being the chivalrous gentleman he was, and picked up her scattered books, handing them to her. He paused, glancing at the cover of one of them. "Oscar Wilde... Lady Windemere's Fan."
"Yeah." Anna nodded, smiling sheepishly. "I feel like I can just totally relate to it, you know?" Seth nodded, scratching his hair distractedly and sticking his free hand into his pocket.
"Same here. It's a good read." Seth murmured. An awkward silence befell upon the two ex-companions before Seth spoke up. "So, uh, Anna, are we good?" He inquired. "You know, friends?"
"What I really want is more than that, Seth. But I guess friendship is all that I can ask for." Anna shrugged. "Sure, we are." She added with a feigned grin.
"Allright. Awesome." Seth grinned, reaching out and pulling her into a friendly embrace. Anna felt a painful pang to her heart, and felt herself leaning against him and letting the hug last far longer than necessary before pulling away.
"So, um, I noticed lately that Summer hasn't been with you." Anna pointed out. To be honest, she found that fact very enlightening.
"She's been pregnant." Seth shrugged. Anna fought the urge to let a tear fall at that comment. It hurt her, it really did.
"Well, I just noticed that she wasn't with you. Normally, a couple having a baby would stick by each other. I guess Summer's just not into that whole thing." Anna shrugged.
"Says who?" The clicking of high-heeled slippers in the hallway, adruptly stopping behind Seth, caused both him and Anna to turn around, only to find Summer, clad in a lavender hued tank top and matching cardigan, and khaki capris, tapping her foot impatiently.
"Summer!" Seth exclaimed. "What are you doing here? I thought you weren't going to come-"
"Something changed my mind." Summer cut him off, pointing to her mind, or rather, the temple that Seth had kissed. "Your dad drove me to school." She added.
"Your dad?" Anna questioned, arching an eyebrow at Summer and turning to Seth.
"Yeah." Summer nodded, before Seth could conjure a reply. "Oh, and Seth, after school your mom's taking me, you and Ryan shopping. Mainly me, but we could probably work on your wardrobe too." She added. Anna still had a blank expression on her face.
"Uh, Anna, um... Summer's living with my family for awhile." Seth explained. Anna's mouth dropped open a bit, and an impending feeling of doom washed over her. Summer. Living with Seth. Her worst nightmare. The little temptress had already wriggled her way into Seth's heart, his bed, and now home and family too. Anna let out an almost inaudible whimper. Suddenly, a familiar platinum blonde coquette turned the corner, nearly colliding with all three of them. Holly eyed Summer up and down, looking at her in disgust.
"Like, Summer, isn't about time to go shopping for the latest maternity styles?" Holly asked, a testy tone to her voice. Summer clenched a fist, stepping infront of Holly, ready to rip her hair out. "So where you've been lately? We all missed you last week, Summer."
"What the hell do you want, Holly?" Summer asked, coming towards the other girl with vehement. "I have nothing to do with Luke, get over it! He doesn't want you! You're just trash! And if you weren't already, I would instantly make you look like it myself." She added, narrowing her glare at Holly. Holly just laughed.
"What are you going to do, Summer? Attempt to roll over me once your stomache resembles a bowling ball?" Holly laughed.
"You. F---ing. Bitch!" Summer muttered, launching herself onto Holly. Seth quickly wrapped his arms around Summer, holding her back.
"Summer, Summer! You have to calm down. You cannot be under pressure." He told her. Summer quit attempting to claw at Holly, relaxing herself as Seth whispered soothingly into her ear. Summer took a deep breath and Seth let go of her.
"Aww. How aDORKable." Holly laughed. She tugged on Anna's hand. "Anna, we gotta jet." Both Summer and Seth found themselves befuddled at that.
"Anna, you... you've been hanging out with Holly?" Seth questioned. "After what she did to Summer a week ago?"
"Contrary to popular belief, the world doesn't revolve around Summer." Anna murmured, looking up at Seth. "Where do you think Holly learned how to work the damned recorder." She muttered. Seth felt like he had just been stabbed in the heart. One of his close friends... his only friend aside from Ryan, and she had a hand in humiliating the girl he loved. Seth looked at Anna sadly.
"You were always good at playing games." Seth muttered. He turned around to look at Summer. "We should go to class." Summer, for once, felt the need not to intrude and didn't utter a word before walking away with Seth, casting one last wary glance over her shoulder at Anna and Holly before turning the corner. Anna watched him walk away, regret casting a dark shadow across her face.

Seth and Summer walked out of third period together, to the cafeteria to eat lunch. Within one period they had gotten used to the scrutinizing stares of their fellow classmates, the curious and accusational glimpses and glances. Everyone seemed to get the idea that they were together. Everyone seemed to know that they'd slept together, and being all that each other had with the exception of Ryan and Marissa (who were too busy making out in empty classrooms), so they were together most of the time. Summer didn't care anymore. She held the truth within herself. They didn't know the worst part. And she and Seth weren't an item either. Far from it. Their relationship, if that's what you wanted it to call it, was dysfunctional to the extreme. They shared comforting kisses, she found solace in him, he took care of her and their child... but they weren't a couple. Seth wasn't pushing it either. He seemed too content with the improvement in their relationship to complain, and Summer wondered how he could possibly be so happy about it. He was a teenager, being a father should've freaked him out, even if the mother was Summer. There was something... not-quite-right about it. But Summer shrugged it off, because at the current moment, for once Seth wasn't being exuberantly gleeful. He seemed rather depressed about Anna's "betrayal". Sucking in her pride, whatever vestige or it she had left, she decided it couldn't hurt to be nice to the guy after everything he and his family had done for her.
"Are you okay?" Summer asked, breaking the silence between them as they walked down the hall. Seth looked at her in confusion for a moment, obviously taken aback by her concern, before shaking his head and answering.
"I'm fine. Are you okay?" He questioned in return.
"Only because of you." Summer replied honestly, blushing slightly. Oh god, she was blushing. That was over-doing it. Summer quickly turned away for a moment, regaining herself before they walked into the cafeteria. "Hey, there's Ryan and Marissa." She pointed to a table in the back, where the school's token cute couple were sitting, as usual, making out too.
"Are they planning on getting in line or are they having each other for lunch?" Seth questioned out of the blue. Summer let out a chortle before grasping Seth's hand and leading him towards one of the lunch lines. As they reached the middle of the cafeteria, a familiar and booming voice stopped the both of them in their tracks.
"Summer!" Summer let go of Seth's hand, turning around. A tall boy about their age approached them, crossing his hands over his chest.
"Donnie? What are you doing here?" Seth asked, arching an eyebrow and stepping protectively infront of Summer.
"Oh my god. The bus boy? The one with the gun?" Summer shuddered, looking up at him from over Seth's shoulder. "What do you want?"
"My baby." He replied thickly.
"Excuse me, what?" Summer repeated, looking at Donnie as if he had grown a third head.
"I heard you were pregnant. With my child."

Dun dun dun... Yeah, okay. Well, that um, not good. The chapter, I mean. This is one of those 'a whole bunch of boring' chapters, and it's not even that long, but the point is that I got it written quickly. And, dont' worry, there's a whole bunch more of the story to go- which will be much better.
As of now, Summer is about... 2 1/2 months pregnant. Almost three. I don't really know the stages of pregnancy that well or whatever, because I've never been pregnant... But I'll look it up and see, because pretty soon Summer is going to begin to show and as the pregnancy develops more it will have a bigger role in the story. Right now it's just- Hey, she's carrying a baby! That means she had sex! Yeah... am I being confusing? Probably. But I've got the rest of the story plotted out, and I have an idea for my next S/S fic. Squee!
