Chapter 15

Marissa woke up and looked over at the clock. It was 6:30 and she was still exhausted. She got out of bed to go to the bathroom and Ryan moved throwing his arm over.
Ryan: Hey. Where are you going?
Marissa: Bathroom. I'll be right back go back to sleep k.
Marissa walked out of the room and into the bathroom. She sat down and felt herself drifting off to sleep. She finished washed her hands and walked back into the bedroom. She layed in the bed and Ryan started massaging her back and kissing her neck.
Marissa: Ryan, I'm so tired I just need sleep.
Ryan: (giggling) No you're not!
Marissa: Yes, I am.
Ryan: No you're not!
Marissa: Okay, I'm going to sleep!
Ryan: Okay.
He continued kissing her neck and running his fingers gently down her back.
Marissa: I can't sleep with you doing that.
Ryan: Then don't sleep.
Marissa turned over and laid on her back.
Marissa: I have to sleep. I'm exhausted.
Ryan: Fine, be that way!
Ryan turned his face twords the wall. Marissa snuggled up against him.
Ryan: No, you're tired!
Marissa: Come on Ryan don't be that way.

Ryan grabbed her arm and threw it off of him. Marissa turned the other way.
Marissa: Fine! Goodnight.
Ryan turned the other way and put his arm around her.
Marissa: I thought you were mad at me.
Ryan: I can't stay mad at you. I was never really mad at you anyways.
Marissa: I kind of figured that.
Ryan sat up.
Marissa: Where are you going?
Ryan: I'm going to the bathroom.
Ryan got out of the bed and he was just wearing his boxers.
Marissa: You might want to put some pants on first in case Seth or Summer are awake.
Ryan: Who cares?
Ryan walked out of the bedroom first looking around to make sure there was noone in there. Marissa was thinking about how happy she was that she was there with Ryan. She had missed him so much over the years. She hated living without him so much that it made her want to drink and that was the reason why she drank so much. She knew she wasn't a full blown alcoholic, because she hasn't gone through any withdrawls or anything. Her thoughts were interrupted by Ryan walking in the door.
Ryan: They are still asleep. Is it cold in here to you?
Marissa: No, maybe it's because you're like half naked.
Ryan: I don't know maybe.
Ryan crawled into the bed and under the covers. He cuddled up next to Marissa and started kissing her neck again.
Marissa: So, are you nervous to hear about the results.
Ryan: No, not really. I want to be with you either way, I just needed to know.
Marissa: Well, I'm nervous, I really hate the thought that he's not yours.
Ryan: He's mine no matter what those tests read.
Marissa: Won't it be weird raising a kid that isn't yours?
Ryan: No. Just don't worry about it okay. He looks a lot like me I'm sure that he's mine.
Marissa: I think he looks more like me.
Ryan: No, I definately see me all over him.
Marissa: So I can't sleep now! Thanks a lot!
Ryan: Well, we could get up and go get some breakfast.
Marissa: Ohh that sounds soo good let's do it.
They got up out of bed and Marissa pulled off Ryan's tank top that she had put on to sleep in. She walked over to her drawers and got a bra out and put it on. Then she walked into the closet and found a shirt and threw it on.
Ryan: I think you would've looked better if you kept my shirt on.
Marissa: Does it really look as cool on me as on you?
Ryan: Well, no but you do look pretty damn sexy in it.
Marissa: Well, sexy is not what I'm going for.
Ryan: And what is it exactley that your going for?
Marissa: I'm going for it's 7 o clock in the morning and my boyfriend wouldn't let me sleep so I just threw some clothes on to get breakfast.
Ryan: Wow, that shirt says all that?

Marissa smiled at him as she pulled off the shorts she slept in.
Ryan: Should I go somewhere else?
Marissa: No, unless your uncomfortable.
Ryan: You know I'm not uncomfortable. I'm in my underwear too.
Marissa walked over to the closet and got a pair of pants and pulled them on.
Ryan: Hey, will you go get me my bag out of the living room?
Marissa: Yeah.
Marissa walked out of the room and grabbed his suitcase and walked back in.
Ryan: Thanks.
He walked over there and kissed her on the lips and grabbed his suitcase. He threw it onto the bed and grabbed some clothes out of it, and put them on. It was just a wifebeater and a pair of jeans.
Marissa: I think you look sexy in those things.
Ryan: Thanks, but I bet you look sexier.
Marissa: Probably, since I am the beauty. We should probably leave them a note so they won't worry about us.
Ryan: Yeah.
Marissa and Ryan walked out of the bedroom and into the living room. Ryan sat down on the couch and grabbed his shoes. Marissa walked into the kitchen and wrote them a note. Marissa walked into the bedroom and slid on a pair of flip flops and walked back into the bedroom.
Ryan: You ready?
Marissa: Yeah.
Ryan: You aren't going to brush your hair or anything.
Marissa: No, who am I trying to impress?
Ryan: Noone I guess.
They walked out the door hand in hand and walked over to the elevator. Ryan pushed the down button and they stood there staring at the elevator waiting for it to open. The doors open and they step inside and Marissa pushes the button to the first floor. Ryan leaned up against the back wall of the elevator and let out a big yawn.
Marissa: You tired?
Ryan: Yeah, a little. I think it's really because I just woke up.
Marissa: Yeah. So what do you want to eat?
Ryan: I don't know where ever you want to go.
Marissa: I don't care I just need somewhere that has coffee.
Ryan: How about McDonalds?
Marissa: Sure. You want to go to the hospital too or just go back and wait for Summer and Seth.
The elevator stops and they get out, and start heading twords the door.
Ryan: Well, I was going to run some errands later so I was going to drop ya'll off up there and do my errands.
Marissa: Why can't we come on these errands.
Ryan: I just gotta go buy some new socks and underwear and I don't want everyone to be there when I buy my underwear.
Marissa: Did anyone ever tell you that you're a really bad liar?
Ryan: What? I'm not lying!
Marissa: Whatever you say. Just make sure that you fill up the car.
Ryan: Thanks.
He kissed her on the cheek. They walk out to the car and Ryan got into the drivers side. They drive to McDonalds and they go inside.
Clerk: Hi, can I help you?
Ryan: Yeah I want the pancake meal with O.J.. (To Marissa) What do you want babe?
Marissa: I want the same except I want coffee instead of O.J..
Clerk: I have two pancake meals one with O.J. and one with coffee. Is that all?
Ryan: Yes, that will be it.
Clerk: That will be seven dollars and eighty-five cents.
Ryan pulled out his wallet and pulled out a twenty, and handed it to the clerk.
Clerk: Your change is twelve dollars and fifteen cents. Your order number is twenty.
Ryan took his change and put it in his pocket. They walked over to a table and sat down.
Marissa: Thanks for paying.
Ryan: No problem.
Marissa: I will order something for Seth and Summer before we leave.
Ryan: Seth will pay you back when we get home.

Ryan's phone rings, he looks at the caller I.D. and it said Christie. He pressed ignore and turned it off.
Marissa: Who was that?
Ryan: Christie.
Marissa: Call her back if you want to talk to her I don't mind.
Ryan: I don't want to talk to her. She's probably just calling to beg me to get back with her.
Marissa: Maybe you should if she wants you back so badly.
Marissa looked at him and gave him a smile.
Ryan: Hmmm.. Maybe I should I mean if you don't want to be with me.
Marissa: Oh, I definately do want to be with you, but it's up to you.
Ryan: Well, maybe I should think about it.
He smiled at her and started laughing.
Marissa: You think you're funny?
Ryan: Semi-funny I think. You know that you're the only person I want to be with right?
Marissa: Yeah, I know you're the only person I want to be with too.
Ryan: Good.
The clerk walked up to them with the food.
Ryan: You didn't have to do that ma'am. We would've came and got that.
Clerk: Oh, no it's not a problem. We aren't that busy.
Ryan: Thank you.
The clerk gave him a big smile.
Clerk: You're welcome sir. Enjoy.
She walked away and went behind the counter. She was staring at him and Marissa noticed it.
Marissa: She was totally hitting on you.
Ryan: Was she?
Marissa: Yeah, and she's staring really hard at you.
Ryan: Hmm. Well, I guess I look good after I roll out of bed and throw some clothes on.
Marissa: You should really turn down the sexy.
Ryan: How do I do that?
Marissa: Grow your hair out really long and grow a beard. Oh, I know wear hats!
Ryan: I thought ugly hats were your thing.
Marissa and Ryan laughed thinking back to that day at the store.
Marissa: I'm just kidding if you grow your hair out really long and grow a beard I will cut it off in the middle of the night.
Ryan: I don't know I think I'd look good!
Marissa: I don't think so.

They started eating and they just sat there in silence eating their breakfast. Marissa could feel the clerk's eyes were still watching them. It made her feel very uncomfortable. If someone just thinks someone is cute they just look for a few seconds and move on to the next hot guy, you don't stare forever.
Marissa: She is really making me uncomfortable.
Ryan: God, she's still staring? Move on already!
Marissa: You're hot but not that hot.
Ryan: Thanks a lot babe.
Marissa just looked at him with a embarresed smile.
Marissa: Sorry I didn't mean it that way.
Ryan turned around trying not to make it look obvious so he stretched out acting like he was just adjusting. She smiled really big at him and waved.
Ryan: God, that girl is like 17. Eww! As Summer would say.
Marissa laughed.
Marissa: I'm done you want to get out of here?
Ryan: What about Seth and Summer's food?
Marissa: Oh man, I forgot! We can get something else for them.
Ryan grabbed her hand, kissed her on the cheek, and gave her a big smile.
Ryan: Don't worry about it babe. Nothing's going to happen I'm with you she can plainly see that.
They walked up to the counter.
Clerk: Can I help you, sir.
She started giggling. She was acting as if Marissa wasn't attached to his arm.
Ryan: Yeah, I want two pancake meals with coffees.
Clerk: Wow, you must be really hungry.
Ryan: Uhm, no it's for our friends at home.
Clerk: Oh. Your total is $7.85.
Marissa looked in her purse and got out $8 and tried to hand it to her but she just ignored her.
Marissa: Ma'am here's the money.
The clerk was still just staring at Ryan.
Marissa: Excuse me maybe you can stop staring at my boyfriend for like three seconds and do your damn job!
The clerk still just ignored her. Marissa felt like beating the crap out of her, she felt a rush of rage go through her. She was about to say something and Ryan grabbed the money from her and squeezed her hand.
Ryan: Here's your money.
Clerk: Thank you sir.
Marissa: I'm going to the car. Meet me there if she doesn't rape you.

Ryan leaned in to kiss her and she just walked away. She was so mad at him that he didn't say anything to her about it.
Clerk: I'm sorry did I make your girlfriend go away?
Ryan: Thanks a lot! You just got her pissed off at me for some stupid reason.
Clerk: I really didn't mean to make her mad sir.
Ryan: Yes you did you stared at me all through breakfast and you acted like she wasn't there.
Clerk: I just think you're really cute.
Ryan: You're like 17.
Clerk: I'm really mature for my age though.
Ryan: Why am I sitting here talking about this with you. Just give me my food so I can leave please.
Clerk: What's your name?
Ryan: Go get my food, please.
Ryan was getting really pissed off. He had tried to be nice to her but she was making it so difficult on him.
Clerk: How old are you?
Ryan: JUST GIVE ME MY DAMN FOOD!
She walked into the back and wrote something down and slipped it into the bag.
Clerk: Here's your food. I left you something in there.
Ryan: I don't need anything you put in there, except for my food.
Ryan grabbed the napkin she put in there and looked at it. He handed it back to her. He walked out and felt like screaming on the top of his lungs. He walked over to the car and got in.
Ryan: Why are you mad at me?
Marissa: You didn't even say anything to her.
Ryan: If you would've stayed then you would know that I did.
Marissa: Well, I'm not really mad at you she just pissed me off.
Ryan: She pissed me off too. She slipped her number into the bag and I gave it back to her.
Marissa: Well, at least you didn't keep it.
Ryan: Why would I keep it? She was creepier than Parker's doctor.
Marissa's phone rings. She looks at the caller id and it said the hospital.
Marissa: It's the hospital.
She picked it up.
Marissa: Hello.
Dr. Keets: Yes, Ms. Cooper this is Dr.Keets, I have the results for the paternity test. Can you come down here and I will give them to you?
Marissa: Yes, Dr. Keets. We will be there in a few minutes.
She hung up the phone and looked at Ryan.
Ryan: What did he say?
Marissa: He wants us to come in so he can read them. I'm really nervous.
Ryan: Don't be nervous just calm down and we will go to the apartment drop off the food and go up there.

Marissa could feel tears welling up in her eyes. She wanted so much for him to be Ryan's that she had even convinced herself that was how it was going to turn out. She really didn't know what was going to happen and she felt so out of control. When she wasn't in control she usually started drinking. She didn't know what to do, she was so scared. She got a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach.
Marissa: Stop the car!
Ryan: What's wrong?
Marissa: Just pull over hurry.
Ryan went to the side of the road and she opened the door and threw up. Ryan just sat there rubbing her back. She stopped throwing up and he handed her a napkin and a bottle of water that was in the back. She put some of the water in her mouth swished it around and spit it out and wiped her mouth off.
Ryan: You okay?
Marissa: Yeah, it's just nerves.
Ryan: It will all be over soon okay don't worry about it.
Marissa: I don't see how you can be so calm.
Ryan: Marissa listen to me. The reason I'm so calm is because no matter what, we will be together. As long as we are together nothing else matters. All that matters is that we love each other and we love Parker.
Marissa knew he was being sincere but she didn't know if they could make this work if he wasn't his. Ryan got back onto the freeway after he made sure she wasn't going to throw up again.
Marissa: I'm going to run this inside and rinse my mouth out with mouth wash and I'll be right back.
Ryan: You don't want me to come with you.
Marissa: No, it's fine I think I just need to be alone for a few seconds. Ya' know gain my composure and stuff.
Ryan: Okay. Uhm you going to be okay.
Marissa: Yeah, I'll be fine.
Ryan: Okay I'll be waiting in the car then.
Marissa: Okay.

She opened the door and slid out of the seat. She walked out of the sight of the car and broke down crying. She leaned against the wall and just cried. She made herself stop so that she wouldn't take so long that Ryan would come looking for her. She walked into the building and got in the elevator. She leaned against the elevator wall and took a deep breath. She started feeling better when she took those deep breaths. She hated feeling this bad and not having anyone to lean on. Ryan just didn't understand because he was so calm. She was sure it was bothering him too but he just wasn't showing it. The elevator dinged to her floor and she jumped because she was so deep in thought. She walked out and unlocked the apartment and walked in. Seth and Summer were sitting on the couch watching a movie.
Marissa: Hey.
Summer: Hey. What you got there?
Marissa: Breakfast for ya'll. McDonalds.
Summer: How thoughtful Coop, thanks.
Summer got up and grabbed the food from her hand and noticed that she had been crying.
Summer: Seth go heat the food and the coffee up. Coop come here and sit down.
Seth walked into the kitchen and Summer and Marissa sat down on the couch.
Summer: What's the matter?
Marissa just grabbed onto Summer and started crying uncontrolably.
Summer: Oh, Coop it's going to be okay. Just tell me what's the matter sweetie and I will try and help.
Marissa: The doctor called and they have the results to the paternity test and I just can't take it. The thought of that sweet little boy being Oliver's is killing me. What if he is Oliver's and I start looking at him differently. I just couldn't take losing the relationship that I have with Parker because of his father.
Summer: It doesn't matter who the father is that is YOUR son and your love or relationship with him will never change. If he is Oliver's it doesn't matter. It won't change who he is. He's nothing like Oliver and he never will be as long as you don't let some stupid ass little test come between you. He is and always will be Parker James Cooper. Nothing will ever change that.
Marissa: What if Ryan can't take it and it changes everything.
Summer: Ryan loves you. It won't change anything I swear Coop. That kid looks just like Ryan, don't worry about it. If you just settle down and brethe and stop thinking about Oliver and just think about Parker and Ryan, then you will feel a whole lot better.
Marissa: Summ, will you and Seth come with us?
Summer: Yeah of course. We are ready to go when you are.

Marissa got up went into the bathroom washed off her face so nobody could tell she was crying brushed her teeth and walked out of the bathroom. Summer really had made her feel better. Summer always made her feel better ever since the day they met in kindergarten.
Summer and Seth were standing by the couch and Marissa walked over to them. They both gave her a hug and told her everything was going to be fine. They walked out to the car and got in.
Ryan: Hey you are coming too?
Summer: Yeah, unless you don't want us there.
Ryan: No, I was just surprised that you were up.
Summer: Yeah, well Seth heard you leaving and thought that it was a burgular.
Ryan started laughing thinking about what Seth's expression on his face looked like.
Ryan: Yeah, you're not weak at all.
They all started laughing even Marissa and everyone was just glad she laughed it meant she was somewhat okay.
They pulled into the hospital parking lot and Marissa got that sick feeling in her stomach again. This time she managed to push it down by not thinking about it. They walked into the hospital went up the elevator and went into the doctor's office. Marissa sat down and Ryan sat on one side and Summer on the other side of her. They grabbed her hands and when the doctor walked in Ryan squeezed harder. Ryan could feel tears welling up it was the first time he felt nervous about the whole situation. Dr. Keets sat behind the desk and laid the file down.
Dr. Keets: You guys ready?
Marissa: Yeah, ready as we'll ever be.
Dr. Keets: In the case of Parker James Cooper.. We have a match. Ryan Atwood is the father of Parker.
Ryan jumped up and screamed YES! Marissa got up and hugged him and he lifted her up in the air.
Ryan: What did I tell you! I knew it.
Marissa was just bawling because after almost three years she finally could put the past behind her
