Marissa crouched over the low single bed and straightened the blankets over Alex; she then sat next to him and stroked his hair away from his eyes, while Ryan was holding nine month old Madison in his arms. Summer and Seth wanted a romantic night out so the couple offered to baby-sit, knowing that the favor would be returned. The small white crib on the side of Alex's room, which was kept there for the few times Madison had come over was now covered with a light pink blanket and a had a mobile of colored stars hanging above it.

Ryan rocked Maddie to sleep in his arms, though she was hardly tired. She kept grabbing at Ryan's hair and pulling on it. Ryan just continued hushing her and telling her to go to sleep. Marissa, however, just kissed Alex on his head and whispered good night, and he fell asleep straight away. She got up and laughed at Ryan attempting to put a troublesome Maddie to sleep. She scooped up Maddie from Ryan's arms, looked sternly into her amber colored eyes and gently tugged on her bouncy brown curls, causing her to frown and Marissa and stick out her bottom lip in a pout. Marissa then rocked her to sleep, and within minutes Maddie was out cold. Ryan watched her and laughed.

"You have the magic touch" he told her when the quietly closed the door to the babies room.

"Oh do I?" She answered, kissing him on the lips tenderly.

No answer came in reply, as they were kissing passionately while walking back to their bedroom. Ryan pushed Marissa against their bedroom door his arms on either side, locking her in, still kissing. She reached for the door knob behind her and the door behind her swung out. They both stopped for a breath of air while he pulled off her tank top and her taking off his wife beater. Her arms ran down his tan and sculpted back and she tugged down the waistband off his sweats. Their tan bodies glowed in the dim light and her golden hair fell over them both as she lay on top off them both kissing in an urgent manner. Marissa slid down her small shorts and slid off the rest of her clothing and after he pulled off his boxers, both were completely naked, their smooth, tan figures entwining and they became one. The whole perfect moment happened so fast all out of passion and desire. They lay in bed, a thin white sheet covering them both, kissing softly her head in the crook of his shoulder and arm and both taking in what just happen as it was a blurred memory. One word emerged from his mouth, mumbled, but voicing their complete thoughts,

"Wow." She smiled in responses and leaned in for a kiss, the passion coming out from hiding once again. They were making out, Ryan holding himself up on top of her, while the thin sheet slid down and when things got heated up again the door swung open, Seth and Summer holding a giggling Madison while Seth shielded her eyes.
"Oh my God." Summer said slowly, closing the door, while Ryan's mouth hung open in shock and Marissa covered hers biting her lip. Ryan rolled off of her, pulled on some boxers and the first shirt he could find, a blue dress shirt and buttoned it up halfway, while she grabbed her silk nightgown and held it closed at the top. They opened the door to their bedroom and looked at the floor like kids who did wrong.

"By now, we really should learn to knock." Seth commented

Summer defended the 'walking in' by saying that their date was over and they stopped by to pick up Madison, but no one answered the door, so they used the spare key. Marissa and Summer walked to the door chatting. "Thanks for letting me know what I'm missing," Summer whined, "Cohen's ass will never look that good."
