Chapter 5: 2010
2016
"Catch the ball, Andy!" eight year old Maddie Atwood yelled to her cousin. Andy Cohen
looked up just in time to see the pink beach ball heading towards him. He threw up his hands and
managed to catch the upcoming projectile before it inflicted some serious damage on his head.
"Maddie!" Andy Cohen yelled, "Warn me earlier next time! I could've fallen in your pool. And
then I could've died. And then my mommy and daddy would've died too." Maddie rolled her blue
eyes. He rambles just like Uncle Seth. She then picked up on word that Andy said: died. Her
happy smile immediately dropped, her eyes fell to the floor and she too, fell to the floor. She
heard footsteps, and knew Andy was beside her. "I'm sorry Maddie." he whispered. "I forgot."
She nodded and gave her cousin a half smile, "It's ok." The pair sat in silence beside Maddie's
pool and watched as the wind made ripples in the water. "Maddie!" Marissa called. "Yes,
Mommy?" Maddie answered. "Could you play with your sister please? I have to take care of a
few things." Maddie nodded and smiled up at her mother and sister. "Hey Roxie." Maddie greeted
her 5 year old sister. "Hi Maddie! Hi Andy!" Roxie smiled and dashed off to catch some
butterflies. "She's like your twin." Andy said. "Yeah, I guess so." Maddie agreed. They did look a
lot alike. Same blonde hair, blue eyes. I kinda remember that year when she was born.
FLASHBACK- April 2010
Marissa Atwood was in shock. There, in front of her, was a pink line. She was pregnant.
She calmed herself down and a few moments later, a huge smile adorned her face. Another baby.
Maddie would have a little sister or brother. She then heard knocking at the bathroom door.
"Marissa!" Ryan called, "What's taking so long? Everything ok-" he couldn't finish his sentence
as the door swung open and Marissa threw herself at him, smothering him with kisses. "What's
going on?" Ryan breathed, evidently confused. Marissa held up the pregnancy test and smiled.
Ryan looked back and forth for a good minute before a smile burst on his face. "Really?" Marissa
nodded. "That's wonderful!" Ryan grinned. "What is?" a small voice asked. Ryan and Marissa
looked down and saw Maddie, looking questioningly at her parents. Marissa laughed and picked
up her two year old daughter. "Mommy's going to have a baby sweetie." "Baby sister or
brother?" Maddie asked. "That's right." Ryan answered. "Yay! Baby!" Maddie squealed happily.
Later that day, Marissa and Ryan called up Anna, Luke, Seth and Summer to come with
them to dinner, celebrating not only their graduation but something more. "Coop," Summer
asked, "you want some champagne?" Marissa glanced up at her friend and shook her head. "Oh
my God!" Anna shouted. "I can't believe it! Congratulation you guys!" She jumped out of her
seat and ran towards Marissa and Ryan with open arms. "Tinkerbell, I think you've had enough."
Luke teased, obviously not understanding what exactly was going on. "Captain, it's a good thing
you're hot, or I would've wacked you." Anna smirked. "Thanks." Luke answered brightly. A
collective groan was heard around the table. "Come on dude." Seth began, "Figure it out. Marissa
can't drink and there's something more to celebrate then graduation. Think." "Oh Lord," Summer
sighed, after a long silence. "She's pregnant." Luke looked up at Marissa in shock. "That was my face this morning." she laughed. "Yeah. Funny." Luke quietly whispered to himself as the rest of
his friends hugged Marissa.
CONTINUED FLASHBACK- Chrismukkah 2010 (December 24th)
"Happy Chrismukkah everyone! And especially to our new Atwood, who is bound to
make an appearance soon." Sandy Cohen toasted. Everyone around the table followed suit,
clinking their glasses. Suddenly, a crash was heard. "Marissa." Ryan breathed as he shot up from
the table and ran towards the kitchen. There, laying on the floor, was Marissa. "It's time." she
choked out. Ryan wasted no time in carefully lifting her up and heading towards the front door.
"She could be a Chrismukkah baby." Seth muttered to Summer as they raced to their car in
pursuit of Marissa and Ryan.
Once at the hospital, Marissa was hooked up to various machines and sent to a private
room. "Could take a while." Ryan informed his family and friends of the labour. "Then it could
take a while." Anna replied as she went to hug Ryan. "Where baby?" Maddie asked Kirsten.
"She's coming." her grandmother answered as she stroked Maddie's fine blonde hair. Ryan was
right about how long this could take. Hours later, it was Christmas Morning, and no baby. Luke
was drinking cheap hospital coffee, when Ryan ran up to him. His friend was chalk white and
breathing irregularly. "Chino," Luke asked at once. "What's wrong?" "There's fetal distress. Her
heart rate dropped considerably. They need to perform a C-section. Marissa's terrified." At this
point, the entire waiting room was awake and in disbelief. "No sister?" Maddie cried. "Don't
worry sweetie." Ryan soothed. "Everything will be alright."
2016
And it was. Daddy took me to see my new sister a bit later. Roxanne Juliet Atwood. Well,
Roxie. Sounds better. "You're lucky to have Roxie." Andy murmured. "She doesn't really
understand. But she's there for you." Maddie nodded as she watched Roxie run around the pool
house. "I just miss him so much." "Me too," Andy agreed. "He was my favourite uncle." "Mine
too." Maddie sighed. "Now, no one calls me Chino Jr."
