A/N: This is my first ever fan fic, so reviews are greatly appreciated. The story's random and a big pile of S/S fluff. I haven't really decided when this little story's taking place, but, let's say it's about 7 years into the future, and they're 25.
I also want to give a big thanks to Claire for correcting spelling mistakes I'm sure I made.
Disclaimer: I do not own Summer or Seth, the movie "Where the Heart Is", nor Canada or any of it's nature.

The sun had set, and for each second that passed; another star emerged on the now dark blue sky. It was the beginning of September, which could easily be noticed from the way it quickly got chilly in the evenings. But the two lovers out on the terrace weren't part of those who took notice of that. They had each other to keep warm.
----
After a lot of begging and pleading Seth had convinced Summer to come along to Canada for his cousin Sophie's wedding.
Sophie's fiancé, Jack, was a Canadian and they'd decided to have the wedding surrounded by the beautiful Canadian nature.
Which, to Summer's ears, sounded like a really romantic idea, until the point when Seth told her they would be going.
Summer and nature didn't go well together.
Seth claimed that Sophie was his absolute favourite cousin, and therefore they had to go.
Summer reminded him that he'd always called Matt his 'absolute favourite cousin', so she wasn't buying that.
"What! Do you expect me to choose between family? Are you inhumane?"
For that, he received a smack from Summer.
She had used every excuse possible to try and get out of it, ('I can't fly when I'm six months pregnant, Cohen').
While he knew her well enough to know what she was up to and easily found solutions to her excuses, ('I read the best time to fly is during your second trimester, so the baby'll do great, Sum').

But they did get there in the end, in the middle of the great Canadian nature, surrounded by lakes, trees and huge mountains.
After Summer realized they wouldn't be camping, but that they would stay in a house by the lake, she discovered that;
Canada?
Not so bad.
The wedding ceremony had taken place earlier that day, and by the time both Sophie and Jack had said their vows, sobbing could be heard from the third row where Seth and Summer was seated.
Summer could blame the hormones, while Seth, well, he's sensitive.

"Okay, first name in the book…Aadi. That's a no."
Seth sat on a bench on the terrace with Summer's head resting in his lap while he read out-loud from a baby name book they'd picked up at the airport. Summer had a notebook balancing on her tummy, and a pen in her hand, ready to write down possible names.
They had decided not to know the sex of their baby, but after a little 'misunderstanding' at the last doctor's appointment (Read: Summer asked the doctor while Seth was in the bathroom, and Seth read it over the doctor's shoulder), they had discovered that their baby was a girl.
Seth had then spent the next week after that going on about how Summer was definitely going to have some serious competition concerning 'the most beautiful female to ever walk the earth' title she was currently in possession of.
And then the following week after that, going around in a haze finally realizing that he would spend the rest of his life being whipped by not just one, but two Roberts-Cohen women.
He decided, though, that he wouldn't want to be whipped by anyone else, and so, it was kind of okay. In fact, having a mini-Summer would be the best thing that could happen to him.
That was what Summer kept telling him, anyways.
"Hey, Sum, what about Alyssa?" They were going through the names alphabetically, and even though they were only about three pages into the book, Seth was already bored.
He wanted to find the perfect name for their baby girl just as much as Summer, but knowing Summer, and himself, settling on a baby name was not very likely to happen tonight.
"No, no. I want our baby to have a name that really means something. Haven't you ever watched 'Where the heart is'?"
"If it is a chick flick, and, it sounds like it is. Then, the only way I would've watched it, is if you somehow forced me into watching it, and, I luckily don't think you did that, so, no. I hav-" Summer had just pinched his right thigh to make him stop rambling.
An action she had found very effective in the past.
"Well, Novalee wants to give her kid some name that basically every third kid in America has, but then this old man tells her she needs to give her baby a name with a meaning, something special. Now, she names her baby Americus, and I don't want that name for our baby. But I really think we should follow her example. I mea-" Now it was Seth's turn to make her stop rambling, a habit she had clearly gotten from him.
His way wasn't as violent, though, a simple kiss at the tip of her nose usually did the trick.
"I think it's a great idea, Summer," he said, and she smiled up at him.
"Well, now we just have to find some name that can be like a symbol of something special in our relationship or something." Summer closed her eyes, obviously concentrating hard on a name, while Seth went back to the A-names in the book.
After a few minutes Seth stopped at one name in the book and looked down at Summer with a big grin plastered over his face. "What about Anna?"
Summer's eyes flew open, and he could've sworn they became darker.
"It means gracious," he tried.
"We're not naming our baby after that woman!" Summer said in a voice that clearly expressed her feelings, before quickly closing her eyes again.
"Okay, okay, I was only kidding anyway."
Seth heard Summer mumble something along the lines of, "Well, maybe you could realize soon that you're not funny."
He chose to ignore that and instead threaded his fingers with Summer's smaller ones, carefully caressing her hand with his thumb.
He saw a smile forming on Summer's lips, and could feel a smile emerging on his mouth as well.
He leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips, and second later she responded to the kiss and her free hand flew to its usual position; in his curly hair.
Some soft, sweet kisses were shared before Seth pulled back to change his position on the bench.
It was at that time he quickly glanced up at the sky.
"Oh wow! Sum, look there!" Seth let go of her hand and pointed up at the sky. She chose to take directions from his eyes instead and followed his gaze up at the sky. There, bright lights lay across the sky in colours of green, red, yellow and purple.
"It's the Northern Lights!" Summer exclaimed happily, amazed by its beauty.
"It's the Aurora Borealis." Seth corrected her.
"Listen to that, baby. Daddy's being a smartass," Summer said and patted her stomach lightly.
"Summer, don't say ass." For that he only received a glare from Summer, and a moment later Seth realized what he'd said "Oh God, I'm turning into my mum."
Summer rolled her eyes at her husband's antics and searched for his hand. He met hers halfway and soon her fingers were intertwined with his again. Summer sat up and snuggled into Seth's chest while they watched the Northern Lights.
"What about Aurora Borealis?" Summer said and sat up straight, looking at Seth.
Seth looked at her with a look that clearly said, 'Huh?'
"For the baby! Aurora Borealis Cohen!" Seth still looked at her dumbfounded, but now for a completely different reason.
When she saw he clearly wasn't as excited about this name as she was, she gave him a pout.
"Look, it's special, right? I doubt a lot of other kids have that name, and it means something for us. We can always remember this night and how perfect it was, don't you want that? Huh?"
He still looked at her questionably while mouthing, "Borealis? Borealis?"
She took the baby name book from him and looked through the pages until she came across the name 'Aurora'.
"Aurora means 'Goddess of the Dawn'. That's pretty, isn't it, Cohen?" When he didn't reply, she kissed his cheek, pulled back and gave him a puppy look.
"Summer, Borealis? This kid will get bullied if she has a name like that. There's a fine line between special and just plain weird, and you've clearly crossed that line."
"Co-hen," Summer whined. "It's pretty, it's special. Besides, it's not like we'll go around calling her Aurora Borealis all the time either, Borealis will just be like a second name, you know? You haven't said anything about Aurora, though. What do you think of that?"
Seth gave it a moments thought before saying, "That I like. "
He exchanged a smile with Summer before his attention was turned to the little bump on Summer's stomach.
"Hey baby," he cooed while rubbing soft circles on the tummy.
"Mommy and I found a name for you, and daddy's gonna have so many cute nicknames for you. You're daddy's little pumpkin and sweetie pie, and honey bunny, and … ooh, Sum!" He exclaimed as he turned around and met Summer's amused face. "You can make out some pretty cute nicknames with the name Aurora. Like Rory, or Ora or Zora or Auro. Though that might sound too much like Euro, and I don't want her to be mistaken for a monetary unit."
"Seth, Seth, calm down. Ora? Zora? Auro? And you think Borealis is weird? Rory is cute though."
Seth went quiet for awhile, looking up at the spectacular Northern Lights that was now even stronger than before.
He pulled Summer onto his lap and quietly whispered into her ear, "Okay."
His arm snaked around her waist until both his hands rested on her stomach. "Yeah, I can live with Borealis."
Summer squealed and turned around and hugged her husband.
He started rubbing circles on her back while she pulled away from the hug and kissed him instead. Seth took the hint and opened her lips with his before he slipped his tongue into her mouth. She massaged his tongue with hers and it didn't take long before a moan was heard. Summer pulled back before it developed into something more. She decided to save it for later, instead of going at it out on the terrace.
Seth protested slightly, but gladly accepted the warmth she gave while hugging him.
"Summer, you do realize that her initials will be ABC, right? They'll sing about it in kindergarten," Seth said while he looked at his wife, slightly amused by the fact that she always got her way.
"You do realize, Cohen," Summer said as she looked at Seth, "that no one loves you like I do, right?"

Please review! Also, I want to say. Aurora Borealis might be an odd name, but I know someone named that, and I've always thought it's pretty cute.
