Chapter 25

Ryan sped down the highway screaming at the people on the road. He was so scared that Parker was really sick. Ryan pulled into the emergency room entrance and took Parker inside up to the front desk.
Nurse: Can I help you?
Ryan: Yes, my son is running a really high fever, he just had surgery and I'm really worried.
Nurse: Okay fill these out while we take him back.
Ryan: Can you wait until his mother gets here, I don't know all of this stuf.
Nurse: Sure, just give me the specifics.
Marissa: Ryan, is he okay?
Ryan turned and looked behind him to see his whole family standing there.
Ryan: They need you to fill this paperwork out.
Ryan handed her the clipboard and she sat down to fill everything out. Ryan was still holding Parker who was still crying.
Ryan: Kirsten will you hold him please, I think I'm going to be sick.
Kirsten took Parker and Ryan ran into the bathroom. Marissa filled out all the paperwork and handed it to the nurse and the nurse took him back.
Marissa: I'm going to go back there with him someone go check on Ryan for me.
Seth: I'll do it.
Seth walked into the bathroom.
Seth: Ryan, you okay buddy.
Ryan: Yeah, I'm fine I was just feeling a little sick to my stomach.
Ryan came out of the stall.
Seth: Well, they took Parker to go check him out.
Ryan: Okay, did Marissa go back there with him?
Seth: Yeah.
Ryan: Is she okay?
Seth: Yeah, I think she's fine.
Ryan walked over to the sink and washed his hands then they walked out of the bathroom. Ryan sat down between Kirsten and Alexis. Alexis got up and walked over to Ryan and got in his lap.
Ryan: Hey sweetie.
Lexi: Hey Uncle Ryan. You okay?
Ryan: Yeah, I'll be fine.
Lexi turned around and gave him a kiss on the cheek and a hug.
Ryan: Thanks Lexi. You can go play with Ana if you want.
Lexi: Okay.
Lexi got off of his lap and walked over to where Ana was and started playing with her. They sat in the waiting room for a hour in silence. Marissa came out from the back carrying Parker.
Ryan: What's wrong with him?
Marissa: Nothing, he just got hot while he was throwing that little tantrum. He's fine.
Ryan: Oh, thank god.
Marissa: They took his stitches out while he was here though and we have to get him a doctors appointment in a couple of days.
Ryan: Okay. Thanks everyone for coming.

He got up and walked over to Marissa.
Ryan: Hey, why don't you go to Kirsten and Sandy's and I'll meet ya'll over there.
Marissa: Okay.
He kissed her and she left. Trey and him walked out of the hospital and went out to the car and got in.
Trey: Hey you okay?
Ryan: Yeah, I'm fine.
Trey: The wake is tonight. You going to come?
Ryan: Yeah, I guess so. What time is it?
Trey: It's at seven.
Ryan: I have to go home first.
Trey: Okay, just drop me off at the house and go home. I'll meet you here and we'll go to the funeral home.
Ryan: Okay.
Trey: I was wondering could you make a speech at the funeral. I was going to but I don't think that I can.
Ryan: Yeah I can do it. I'll write it up tonight. What time is the funeral tommorrow? '
Trey: Two.
Ryan: Okay.
It was so surreal here he was talking to his brother, who he hadn't seen in years and he's talking about his mother's funeral. They rode the rest of the way in silence. They really didn't have much to say to each other. They pulled up to the house and Trey got out.
Trey: See you around six or so then.
Ryan: Yeah, see ya.

Ryan drove back to the Cohen's he wasn't listening to any music. The only sounds he heard was the sound of cars around him. It was a very sunny warm day in California and the sun baked down on him. This made him feel a lot better he felt like no matter how bad it is right now it could be worse. He had a great family, great fiance, and a great life. He was rich and he had a nice home. He had people who really loved him and were there to support him through all of this. He really felt bad for Trey, he had noone except for him. He really wanted to be there for his big brother like he was there for him all the times his mom was drunk and when his dad was beating up on him. He felt bad about not talking to him for years no matter what he did he was still his brother. He couldn't imagine not talking to Seth for years because he was mad at him. Ryan felt so guilty that he hadn't tried to find his mother when he got older. He just wanted her to be alive so he could tell her that he forgave her, that he loved her. Warm tears flowed out of Ryan's blue eyes. He tried to stop them but they just hadn't stopped for more than an hour for days. He pulled into the Cohen's driveway and walked into the house.
Kirsten: Hey Ryan we're in the kitchen.
Ryan: You really shouldn't just assume it's me, it could be a robber or murderer and now they know where you are.
Kirsten: Okay, I'll keep that in mind.

Everyone laughed as Ryan walked into the kitchen.
Ryan: The wake is tonight. I had to come home and get dressed and stuff.
Marissa: Do you want me to come with you.
Ryan: Only if you want to come.
Marissa: Yeah, I'll come, I don't want Parker to come though. (talking to Kirsten and Sandy) Are you guys going?
Kirsten: Yeah, we were thinking about it.
Marissa: Okay, well he can go to my mom's.
Kirsten: Well, I guess we should all get ready.
Ryan: Marissa you want to come to the house with me?
Marissa: Yeah, I'm excited to see it.
Ryan: Okay, we'll meet you back here after we get done.
Kirsten: Okay.
Marissa: Come on Parker.
Parker: I don't want to go.
Marissa: Why not?
Parker: Because I don't like him.
Marissa: PARKER JAMES! Come here now!
Ryan: Marissa don't he's just voicing his opinion.
Marissa: No, he's not going to get away with acting like a spoiled brat and talking to people like that.
Parker walked over to her and shot Ryan a dirty look.
Marissa: Why are you acting like this?
Parker: He wouldn't give me any fish sticks then he put me in time out and let me cry.
Marissa: You're acting like a brat! What did I tell you about telling people you hate them?
Parker: It hurts peoples feelings and I shouldn't do it.
Marissa: That's right so why are you telling your father you hate him.
Parker: I don't know because I'm mad at him.
Marissa: You aren't a brat and I will not stand for you to act like one. You get over there in that corner now!

Parker started crying.
Parker: But mommy I love you.
Marissa: Stop it Parker it's not going to work get over there now or I'll take you over there.
Parker cried harder and stomped over to the corner and stood in the corner. Ryan really wanted to go over there and grab him before he cried so hard that he gave himself a fever, but he couldn't undermind Marissa and he knew that.
Ryan: Really it's okay he's just mad.
Marissa: No it's not we are not going to have a spoiled brat as a child. This is the only way to teach him that he can't act like that.
Ryan: Okay. I was just saying.
Marissa: Well, don't! I have been raising him for the last two years by myself and it seems to be working. Stay out of it.
Marissa gave him a look to back off.
Ryan: You know I am his father. I don't have to stay out of it.
Marissa: You do have to stay out of it he's my son and I will say how and when he gets punished.
Ryan: Look who's being the brat now, where do you think he gets it from.
Ryan was joking but it really pissed Marissa off. He could feel the rays of hate shooting through her eyes. She stormed off and said, "Screw you," under her breath.
Ryan: What was that?
Marissa just continued to walk off. Ryan just rolled his eyes and walked after her.
Ryan: Marissa stop!
Marissa just ignored him and stormed up the stairs.
Ryan: Hey, I was kidding my god why do you have to make such a big deal out of everything?
Marissa turned around and looked at him and then just turned back around and kept walking.
Parker: Daddy, I'm sorry.
Marissa: Parker get back in that corner.
Parker: I said I was sorry.
Marissa: GO!

Parker just started crying really hard and walked away.
Ryan: Why did you do that he said he was sorry.
Marissa: Did I not just tell you to stay out of this?
Ryan: You're really being a bitch you know that.
Ryan turned around and started walking back down the stairs.
Marissa broke down crying and sat down on the stairs.
Ryan: What the hell is with you huh?
Marissa: I don't know, everything.
Ryan walked back up the stairs and sat down beside her.
Ryan: Yeah that really let's me in on what's bothering you.
Marissa: I don't know. It's just that today has been kind of intense and I'm really stressed out.
Ryan: I know what you mean but you could've just told me that instead of going all crazy on me.
Marissa: I don't know it's just that I am having a hard time dealing with you being around and having a say in how I raise Parker. I have wished that you would come back and help me raise him but now that you are it's really hard for me to ya know share him.
Ryan: Well, I am his father and I do have a say so on how he gets raised.
Marissa: Yeah, I know it's just like it's a lot to deal with in such a short period of time.
Ryan: Yeah I understand but you could just talk to me about it. You can always talk to me about anything.

Ryan looked at her and pulled the hair out of her face and ran his fingers over her eyes to dry her tears. Marissa smiled at him and layed her head on his shoulder.
Marissa: I'm really sorry Ryan.
Ryan: Don't worry about it, just promise me that next time you have a problem you come to me with it instead of holding it all inside.
Marissa: I promise.
Ryan put his hand on Marissa's leg and kissed her on her head.
Ryan: We gotta go get ready.
Marissa: Okay, I'll go get Parker.
Marissa got up and walked down the stairs heading twords the kitchen where Parker was still crying standing in the corner.
Marissa: Parker, it's time to go.
Parker turned around and walked twords his mom. She picked him up and kissed him on the cheek.
Parker: You're not mad at me?
Marissa: Do I look like I'm mad at you? I will not have you talking to your father like that anymore though. You understand me?
Parker: Uh huh. I promise mommy no more.
Marissa: That's my sweet little boy I was starting to wonder where he had gone.
Parker: I didn't go anywhere mommy.
Marissa: I know. Nevermind honey.
Marissa took Parker over to the stairs where Ryan was still sitting. She put him down and he walked up to the stairs and sat next to Ryan.
Ryan: Hey pal you still mad at me?
Parker: No, I'm sorry I said I hated you. I don't hate you I love you daddy.
Ryan: It's okay buddy. I know you don't hate me you were just mad at me. You can't just talk to people like that though, your mother is right.
Parker: I know.
Ryan stood up and walked down the stairs and Parker followed. They all walked out of the house after saying bye to everyone. They got in the car and drove to the house. Marissa was so excited to see the house that she and Ryan would be living in and raising their family. They pulled into the driveway and she was stunned, she never expected it to be that beautiful. It was a huge brick house with a beautiful fence surrounding it. They got out and Parker got a huge smile on his face.
Parker: We are going to live here?
Ryan: Yes we are.
They walked up to the door and Ryan put the key into the door and unlocked it.
