Chapter 9

Marissa woke up and thought to herself, "Ryan's coming I better get ready soon so I will look amazing." She got out of the bed and looked at the clock and it said 10:45. She picked up her phone and called Summer.
Summer: Hey Coop.
Marissa: Hey are ya'll still coming? What time's your flight? When do you arrive?
Summer: Slow down Coop it is 8:45 in the morning I just can't keep up. Our flight's at 1. I didn't think to ask what time we arrive but we can catch a cab from there to your house.
Marissa: Okay, well I have to go see Parker but I will definately be home when you get here and we can all sit and talk about it. Don't forget to tell them about Parker, but don't tell them everything. I want to explain that part to Ryan myself.
Summer: Okay. I hope he doesn't freak out and start yelling on the plane and they think he's hijacking it though.
Marissa: Do you really think he will be that pissed?
Summer: Duh, Coop!
Marissa: I hope he doesn't freak out and like want to go straight back to Newport without giving me the chance to explain.
Summer: We leave no soldier behind Coop remember that's why we are like the Marines!
Marissa: (laughing) You have definately been with Cohen for to long.
Summer: Yeah I know and he's going to rub off on me for the rest of our lives too.
Marissa: Oh god! No Summ!
Summer: Haha your so funny! I have to go though I'm right in the middle of pumping.
Marissa: Overshare but okay I'll talk to you later. I can't wait until ya'll come call me after you land okay?
Summer: Okay bye.

Marissa hangs up the phone and goes to the bathroom and brushes her teeth and threw some shorts and a t-shirt on. She decided to wait to get all dressed up when she gets home from the hospital. She started crying because for the first time in a long time she felt like her life was coming together. She was thinking about her and Ryan getting back together and getting married and moving back to Newport with her family. The secret she's carried for almost three years was finally going to be revealed. She had mixed emotions about that though. She felt relieved that she could finally tell him about it but she also felt sad because she knew how angry and upset he was going to be. She drives to the coffee shop that was just down the road and grabbed a latte and then went to the hospital.

Marissa: Yes, I was wondering if I could find out a room number to my son's room.
Nurse: What's his name?
Marissa: Parker Cooper.
Nurse: 315.
Marissa: Thanks.
Marissa walks to the elevator and goes up to the third floor and goes into the room. Parker was asleep so Marissa took this oppurtunity to talk to his doctor. His doctor was a young guy probably in his late 20's early 30's. Marissa thought to herself, "This guy is too cute to be a doctor."

Doctor: Ms. Cooper?
Marissa: Yes, how is he?
Doctor: He's fine. He should be able to go home in a couple of days we just want to make sure he's going to be okay.
Marissa: I'm so relieved thank you doctor for taking such good care of my son.
Doctor: It's all in a day's work Ms. Cooper all in a days work.
Marissa: Yeah, I guess so.
Doctor: So, Ms. Cooper what are you doing tonight?
Marissa smiled a very uncomfortable smile. She did not want this guy to ask her out because she didn't want to hurt his feelings. He kept trying to put his hands on her and she kept back away from him.
Marissa: I have some friends from back home visiting and we are probably going to go sight-seeing.
Doctor: Oh.
Marissa: I really should go see Parker.
Doctor: Okay.
Marissa shook his hand and they both said their courtesy nice to meet you's and Marissa walked into the room where her son was.
Marissa: Hey honey, your up.
Parker: Mommy!
He sat up and gave her a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.

Marissa: How are you feeling?
Parker: It hurts a little.
Marissa looked at him it was surprising how much he looked like her, except he had lighter brown hair. He was the most beautiful child she had ever seen.
Marissa: Guess what.
Parker: What?
Marissa: Summer's coming to visit you.
Parker: Yay! When?
Marissa: Later on today.
Marissa turned the t.v. to cartoons and they sat and watched cartoons until two.
Marissa: I have to go home and get ready and wait for Summer to come. We will be back later. I love you.
Parker: Please don't go mommy. I don't like it here.
Marissa: I'm sorry honey. Just try to get some sleep okay and I promise I will be back right after I get ready.
Parker: Okay, I'll see you later.

She kissed him on the head and walked out of the room. She drove home and got into the shower straightened her hair and picked out the best dress she had. It took her like an hour and a half to get ready because she had to look absolutely perfect. She decided to drive back to the hospital until Summer called and said that they were on their way.
