The Drama Never Ends

by xxocluvurxx

Marissa is now twentyfour and living in New York. She hasn't seen Ryan or Seth in about three years because she's keeping a huge secret. Mostly Ryan and Marissa with a little Seth Summer. I already have 43 chapters written so I will be updating often.

41. Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Disclaimer: Usual disclaimer applies.

Authors Note: Sorry I haven't updated I've been busy with work. I will try to update more often. There is more than 43 thats just how many I had written at the time. Anyways R&R please and thanks everyone for your support of my story.

Seth and Ryan were still playing video games and not talking.
Seth: So what were you saying about Marissa?
Ryan: Huh?
Seth: Before Anna came you were talking about Marissa.
Ryan: Oh, I don't remember what I was saying now.
Seth: Oh okay.
Seth didn't believe that Ryan couldn't remember but he figured if he didn't want to talk to him about it then he wouldn't force him to.
Seth: So dude are you excited about the party?
Ryan: Oh yeah dude you know how much I love going to these parties and have to play nice with the Newpsies.
Seth: When did you start being sarcastic?
Ryan: I was always sarcastic you were just too busy talking to notice.
Seth: Hmmm. Well, have you two lovebirds even made any plans for your wedding?
Ryan: No not really I mean we've had so much to deal with.
Seth: Yeah I know it's like you guys can't catch a break and be happy.
Ryan: We're happy it's just.. I don't know really.
Seth: So you are really happy together?
Ryan: Well, I can't speak for her but I mean I am happy with her.
Seth: I'm sure she's happy with you too. Even though you guys can't catch a break.
Ryan: Yeah I guess we'll never know.
Seth: Are you really worried about it?
Ryan: No not really. If she wasn't happy she wouldn't stay.
Seth: You're right. So how are you going to handle this Parker situation?
Ryan: I haven't really decided yet. I know I'm going to talk to him about it.
Seth: He might not tell you anything if he's as much like you as I think he is he won't talk to you about it.
Ryan: Yeah you're probably right but it won't hurt to try.
Seth: Well you just have to show him that he can trust you. He'll feel better talking to you about stuff if he trusts you.
Ryan: You don't think he trusts me?
Seth: No what I'm saying is that he's probably scared you'll get mad because it's about you and Marissa. I mean I know he trusts you but you got to show him that it's okay to trust you even when it involves you.
Ryan: Yeah I see your point. Marissa and I will also be spending a lot more time with him.
Seth: Well that's really all you can do.
Ryan: So you really don't know what's going on with mom?

(Ryan started referring to Sandy and Kirsten as mom and dad but he never called them that. He was always too scared to call them that because he didn't want to freak them out.)
Seth: No well I mean she kept saying, "I can't believe my baby's getting married." and when she'd say it she looked like she was going to cry.
Ryan: Oh god are you serious?
Seth: Yeah and since I'm already married I don't think she's talking about me.
Ryan: I remember what she was like when you were getting married. I just figured she wouldn't be like that when I got married.
Seth: Why?
Ryan: Because I'm not her son.
Seth looked at him like he was crazy.
Seth: Okay, except that you are.
Ryan: No I'm not you're her son.
Seth: Ryan dude you are as much her son as I am. Just because you don't have the blood doesn't mean that you aren't a part of this family.
Ryan: Really?
Seth: Dude you really didn't think that she didn't see you as her son did you?
Ryan: I don't know.
Seth: Ryan mom loves you as much as she does me.

Ryan didn't say anything back because he was thinking about it. She had never treated him differently he just always figured that she just thought of him as some kid that she brought in. Like Volcheck said her little charity case. He always kind of thought that's the way they saw him. He realized now how stupid it was for him to think that way. He knew deep down that they loved him as much as they did Seth.
Ryan: Thanks man.
Seth: For what?
Ryan: For being a great brother.
Seth: No problem little brother.
Ryan laughed and rolled his eyes. Seth called him that sometimes when he wanted to annoy him. He really hated when he called him that.
Ryan: You know I hate it when you call me that.
Seth: Yeah, I know and that's why I do it because it drives you crazy.
Ryan: I am only like a month younger than you.
Seth: That's the best part.
Ryan: Whatever. Have you guys decided what to name this new baby?
Seth: Summer was going to name it Angela Grace if it was a girl and Andrew Lee if it was a boy.
Ryan: Again with the "a" names.
Seth: Yeah, that's why I told her no "a" names for this one.
Ryan: That's a good idea.
Seth: So then she suggested Grayson Elise and Gabriel Marcus.
Ryan: Grayson Elise is pretty but I think if you named your son Gabriel he'd get the crap kicked out of him.
Seth: That's what I said so I suggested Marcus Gabriel if she needed Garbriel so bad.
Ryan: Marcus Gabriel isn't bad as long as noone calls him Gabriel.
Seth: Yeah but if we did then we could call him Gabe.
Ryan: Gabe sounds like a gay guys name to me.
Seth: Yeah it kind of does.
Ryan: I definately like Grayson it's a really pretty name. Do you know what you want?
Seth: I want a boy because the girls outnumber us. We need more testosterone. I will be happy with whatever we get though as long as it's happy and healthy.
Ryan: Yeah, that's what I want a happy healthy niece or nephew.

The phone rings and Seth grabs it off of the table.
Seth: Hello.
Woman: Hello is Mr. or Mrs. Cohen there?
Seth: No they aren't in right now. Can I take a message?
Woman: Who is this?
Seth: Their son.
Woman: Okay this is Gayle Johnson from Newport Social Services and I am calling to let Mr. and Mrs. Cohen that we have a child for them.
Seth: Okay what the hell are you talking about?
Ms. Johnson: They signed up to be foster parents a couple of months ago and we have found a child for them.
Seth: Um okay. Do you want me to call them and give them your number.
Ms. Johnson: That would be greatly appreciated the number is 555-4654.
Seth takes a piece of paper and writes down the name and number.
Seth: Okay, I'll call them right now.
Ms. Johnson: Okay thank you.
Seth: You're welcome. Bye.
Seth hung up the phone and looked at Ryan with a really confused face and dialed his parents number.
Ryan: Seth what's going on?
Seth: Hold on just let me talk to mom and dad first then I'll tell you.
Seth put the phone up to his ear and finally Sandy answers.
Sandy: Seth is everything okay?
Seth: Uhm yeah. I just got a call from Gayle Johnson from Newport Social Services and she said that they have a child for you.

Seth didn't try to hide the anger in his voice.
Sandy: Why are you mad Seth?
Seth: I don't know maybe because you never mentioned it!
Sandy: We were going to tell you but we thought nothing would ever come of it. Your mom when Ryan got engaged and found out that he had Parker, she started feeling alone. When he didn't have Parker he used to come over everyday for breakfast and dinner. She felt the whole empty nest thing and felt like she didn't have a use anymore. She asked me if we could fill out an application to foster and you know how damned determined she is I couldn't say no. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. What'd the lady say?
Seth: She said they found a child and to call her back at 555-4654.
Sandy: Okay thanks Seth. I'll call her. You still mad?
Seth: No I guess not I just think you should talk to us about these things.
Sandy: Yeah I know I guess we were just waiting for the right time to tell you guys. I know how this is going to make Ryan feel even though he wont say anything about it.
Seth: How is it that you know that.
Sandy: You mean how will it make him feel because he's beside you.
Seth: Yeah.
Sandy: It will make him feel like he's being replaced like he stops coming over so much so we just replace him.
Seth: Is it anything like that?
Sandy: No of course not we love Ryan you know that.
Seth: Yeah I know but I don't know this whole situation seems a little weird to me.
Sandy: Yeah I know it was just one of your mothers crazy suggestions when she was depressed.
Seth: Well I think it's a good idea helping out less fortunate kids.
Sandy: Yeah I know it was so something that I would have done. She's stealing my thunder here Seth. Oh listen I have to go but explain to Ryan that we love him and it's not about replacing him. Your mother is going to be so excited she's having a terrible day.
Seth: Yeah, I understand she's with the Newpsies definately normal to have a bad day around them.
Sandy: Yeah I know how she feels. I'll call you guys later okay.
Seth: Okay you two have fun with the Newpsies.
Sandy: Oh yeah. Bye.
Seth: Later dad.

Sandy hung up the phone and went to go find his wife. She was over in a corner with a fake smile plastered on her face talking to some Newpsie whose name escaped him. He walked over to her and the woman turned and gave him a tight smile. The Newpsies hated him because he wasn't from here. He didn't care about her now he needed to talk to his wife.
Sandy: Hello ladies. Kirsten can I talk to you alone for a moment.
Kirsten: Uhm yeah sure we were just finishing up here. Elisha you just need to go over there and tell them no.
Elisha just nodded and walked away.
Kirsten: Thank you so much for saving me.
Sandy: I didn't come here to save you I came here because Seth just called.
Kirsten: Oh my god are the boys okay the kids?
Sandy: No everyone's fine it's just that Gayle called.
Kirsten's eyes widened.
Kirsten: Gayle like child services Gayle?
Sandy: Yes, that Gayle.
Kirsten: What did she say?
Sandy: I haven't talked to her yet. Seth just called and said that she had a kid. Didn't tell him any details or anything.
Kirsten: We haven't even had a chance to talk to the boys about it yet.
Sandy: I know and judging by Seth's voice over the phone he's not to happy about us not talking to them first.
Kirsten: I knew we should have talked to them and made sure it was okay first.
Sandy: I explained he doesn't sound that mad anymore but I'm scared about Ryan's reaction more.
Kirsten: Why? If anything I think he'd understand more than Seth.
Sandy: He's gonna feel like we are trying to replace him I know that he will.
Kirsten covered her mouth with her hand and looked like she was going to cry.
Kirsten: Oh god Sandy you're right, I didn't even think about that.
Sandy hugged her and she let a few tears out that she couldn't hold in anymore.
Sandy: Shh honey it's okay don't worry we will talk to him. I'm going to call Gayle and see about that kid and if it sounds like a good deal then we can drop by the house and talk to Ryan okay.
Kirsten: Okay.
Kirsten wiped away the tears and Sandy let go. Sandy pulled out his phone and called the number.
Ms. Johnson: Hello this is Gayle Johnson with Newport Social Services. How can I help you today.
Sandy: Hello Ms. Johnson this is Sandy Cohen.
Ms. Johnson: Oh hello Mr. Cohen I was hoping you'd call.
Sandy: My son said you've found a child.
Ms. Johnson: Yes sir she's a month old and her parents just died in a car accident. We talked to the family and none of them wanted her and she didn't have godparents.
Sandy: Where did she come from?
Ms. Johnson: Uhm she's from Long Beach. Her parents were good people and they weren't into drugs or anything.
Sandy: Okay well what's her name.
Ms. Johnson: Her name is Nevaeh Grace Kennedy.
Sandy: Uhm when did you want us to decide by.
Ms. Johnson: Well, actually we were kind of hoping that you guys would not foster her but adopt her. We can give you twenty-four hours to decide. If you don't want to adopt her and just foster there are some people who want to adopt her.
Sandy: Oh. Uhm let me talk to my wife and my boys and I'll get back to you a.s.a.p.
Ms. Johnson: Okay but if I don't hear back from you in twenty-four hours then she's going to be gone.
Sandy: No yeah I understand. Thank you so much for calling and giving us an oppurtunity.
Ms. Johnson: No problem. Bye Mr. Cohen.
Sandy: Bye.

Sandy hangs up the phone and puts it into his pocket.
Kirsten: What did she say?
Sandy: She said that she's a month old she's from Long Beach. Her parents died in a car accident and none of the family want her. Her name is Nevaeh Grace but the only catch is that she isn't up for fostering she's up for adoption. If we don't decide in twenty-four hours then they have someone who wants to adopt her.
Kirsten: Really? Like she would be ours forever and they could never take her away.
Sandy: Yeah seems that way.
Kirsten hugged Sandy and he could tell in her hug that she was so excited.
Sandy: I take it from this hug that you want to?
Kirsten: I have always wanted a daughter.
She pulled out of the hug and got a thoughtful serious look on her face.
Kirsten: If we adopt her then Ryan's going to feel really really bad.
Sandy: Why?
Kirsten: We have never asked him if he wanted to be adopted.
Sandy: You're right. We have to talk to the boys first of course. I was thinking you take Ryan and I take Seth. You've always seemed to get through to Ryan.
Kirsten: Yeah, let's go home now and talk to them.
Sandy: Okay. We have to let the decision rest on the boys though because they have to feel like they have a say in it.
Kirsten: Of course.

Sandy and Kirsten left the club and went to the car. (Back to the Cohen house while the whole conversation was going on)
Seth hangs up the phone and looks over at Ryan.
Ryan: Seth man what the hell is going on?
Seth: Mom and dad decided to foster a kid. That's what that was all about.
Ryan: What?
Seth: Yeah evidently mom was feeling the empty nest thing and wasn't taking it well.
Ryan stands up and starts pacing. He was really confused because they came over all the time with the kids. He felt like he was just being replaced and it hurt like hell. Like as soon as he stops coming over all the time they just decide to get another kid.
Seth: Dude stop pacing you're making me nervous. Sit down.
Ryan: Sorry.
Ryan stopped pacing and sat down and put his head in his hands.
Seth: You can talk to me you know.
Ryan looked up at Seth and nodded.
Seth: So why don't you tell me how you feel about this?
Ryan: I don't really know confusion, anger, and mostly just hurt.
Seth: They aren't trying to replace you. They love you so much you know that right?
Ryan: I don't know anything anymore. I'm just going to go lay down in the pool house.
Seth: Come on man don't clam up on me talk to me about it.
Ryan: I just need to be alone right now okay.
Seth: Okay.
Ryan gets up and walks out the door and into the pool house. Fifteen minutes later Kirsten and Sandy come in the door and they had thought of the perfect way to reassure Ryan. They were geniuses and they were stupid for doing what they had in mind before. Sandy sits on the couch with Seth and Kirsten just stands back.
Sandy: Oh were you and Ryan playing the ninja game.
Seth: Hey guys I thought ya'll had to set up the party?
Kirsten: We came home to talk to you guys. Where is Ryan and how is he doing?
Seth: Not very good so bad he's brooding in the pool house actually. He demanded that he needed to be alone though.
Kirsten: Well, I'm going to go talk to him.
Kirsten walks out to the pool house and knocks on the door.
Ryan: I thought I told you I wanted to be alone Seth.
Kirsten: It's not Seth it's mom.
Ryan: Come in.

Kirsten opens the door and walks into the room.
Kirsten: Hey sweetie.
Ryan: I really don't feel like talking right now.
Kirsten walks over to the bed and lays down beside Ryan.
Kirsten: Good because I'm going to talk and you're going to listen.
Ryan: Okay I guess I don't have much of a choice.
Kirsten: Good. Okay so I pretty much think I know how you are feeling right now. I am very seriously sorry to make you feel replaced.
Ryan looked over at her and gave her a look like "how did you know."
Kirsten: Ryan I'm a mom I know everything. Sandy and I were talking in the car and we were wondering if we could do something that we should have done long ago.
Ryan: Depends on what it is.
Kirsten: We would like to adopt you.
Ryan: WHAT!
Kirsten: We should have done that right after you moved in here but we were too scared that you would get mad. Think that we were trying to replace your parents. We thought about it all the time but neither of us had enough courage to ask you.
Ryan: Kirsten that's crazy I can't be adopted I'm 24.
Kirsten: Actually you can. We would like to adopt you show you how much you mean to us. Make you a permanant part of this family. Not that you weren't before but we would like to make you legally ours. You could become Ryan Anthony Cohen or Ryan Anthony Atwood Cohen. It's a lot to think about and I'll leave that up to you.
Ryan looked up at Kirsten with tears in his eyes and when she saw that the tears started rolling out of hers.
Ryan: I would love that.
Kirsten grabbed him and hugged him really tight and sobbed into his shoulder.
Kirsten: You would?
Ryan: Yeah. Ryan Anthony Cohen has a good ring to it.
Kirsten: That is so great. I love you so much sweetie.
Ryan: I love you too mom.

Kirsten just smiled at him and started crying harder. That was the first time he ever called him mom and it felt so good.
Kirsten: Okay well then we'll get the papers drawn up and we'll announce your adoption tonight at the party. It can be a engagement/adoption party.
Ryan: That sounds great. What about this new kid? Did you call the lady?
Kirsten: Yeah I wanted to leave this up to you boys too. She's not up for fostering she's up for adoption and if we don't want her they already have another family lined up. We want you two to make the decision though.
Ryan: Wow a little sister. How old is she?
Kirsten: She's a month old and her parents died in a car accident and her family doesn't want her.
Ryan: What's her name?
Kirsten: Nevaeh Grace. If we do adopt her though we are going to change it. It's just to complicated to say and people would be stumbling over how to say it her whole life. If we did get her we want you two to name her.
Ryan: I think it would be great to have a little sister. You guys should go for it.
Kirsten: Seriously? Like you're not just saying this to make us happy?
Ryan: Seriously I'm not. I've always wanted a little sister but at first I thought you guys were trying to replace me.
Kirsten: Ryan you are irreplaceable.
Ryan: Then I think you should give this girl the life she deserves. I will be the best big brother ever and always protect her and love her.
Kirsten: Thank you so much Ryan you have no idea how much this means to me. Now we just have to convince Seth that he's going to be getting a brother and a sister.
Ryan just nodded and wiped the tears off of his face.
Ryan: Thank you.
Kirsten: No thank you for letting us become your parents.

Kirsten and Ryan layed there with her head on his shoulder and her hands running through his hair in complete silence. Seth and Sandy walk in about five minutes later.
Sandy: Hey guys. Did everything go alright?
Kirsten: Yes. Seth you are going to get a new adopted brother Ryan Anthony Cohen.
Seth: And a little sister.
Kirsten: So you're okay with this?
Seth sits down on the edge of the bed then lays down on in the space between Ryan and Kirsten.
Seth: Well of course.
Sandy also lays down on the bed and lays his head in Kirstens lap.
Seth: Dude we have to think of a great name for our new little sister.
Ryan: I was thinking we could do it as a family.
Kirsten: Good idea. We'll all pick out a name and then we can pick the best and put them in a good order. How about Gracelyn because her middle name is already Grace?
Sandy: Sophia after my mother it also means wisdom.
Seth: Bella it means beautiful.
Ryan just sat in silence and thought about what he would like to name is little sister.
Kirsten: Ryan?
Seth: Mom we cannot call her Ryan.
Kirsten: Seth shutup you know what I meant.
Ryan: How about Mikayla it means gift from God or Miracle.
Kirsten: Okay now we have to find out what we like the most and then put them in order. Or she could have four names.
Seth: I like the idea of her having four names. It makes her unique.
Ryan: It would be a lot to remember.
Sandy: Well I like Gracelyn because that's at least part of her past.
Ryan: Me too I think she should keep a little bit of it.
Seth: Me too. I also like Mikayla because it means gift of God and that's what she is she'll be our gift from God.
Sandy: I like that too.
Kirsten: Yeah me too.
Sandy: I promised my mom I'd name my daughter after her.
Ryan: Best not piss off the nanna.
Seth: No we can't piss her off.
Kirsten: She already hates me enough she'd hate me even more if I said no. I also like Bella because it means beautiful.
Seth: Mom we don't even know if she's beautiful.
Kirsten: Of course she is.
Ryan: I like Bella also.
Sandy: So we have four names and we all like them all equally.
Kirsten: Okay so how about Mikayla Grace Cohen.
Ryan: That sounds good except there's no Sophia and the nanna pissed is not good.
Kirsten: Okay so how about Mikayla Grace Sophia Cohen.
Seth: That sounds really weird.
Sandy: I like it.
Ryan: Me too.
Seth: What about Bella?
Sandy: Well son since your name got ruled out then you get to chose the order.
Seth: Okay that sounds good. Hmmmm Mikayla Grace Sophia Cohen. Gracelyn Mikayla Sophia Cohen. Sophia Mikayla Grace Cohen.
Ryan: Seth think more quietly you're confusing me.
Seth: Sorry dude I'm in total sister naming mode though. I'm going to go write them down in all the orders they can go and get back to you.

Seth gets off the bed and walks out of the pool house and into the main house.
Sandy: I have to get back into the house Gayle's supposed send over the babies file and then after I read through it then I'll call her.
Kirsten: I should get back to help set up. Call me after you call Gayle.
Sandy: Got it.
Kirsten gets off the bed and kisses Ryan on the cheek then Sandy.
Kirsten: Bye Ry.
Sandy: Bye kid.
Ryan: Bye guys.
Sandy and Kirsten leave and Ryan takes out his phone and decides to call Marissa and tell her the news.
Marissa: Hey.
Ryan: Hey. You and Summer having a good time?
Marissa: Oh yeah. It was a great idea remind me to thank your mother.
Ryan: Gotcha. I have some big news.
Marissa: What?
Ryan: Well today a lady from social services called and said that mom and dad had applied to be foster parents and they had a kid for them.
Marissa: What?
Ryan: You just have to listen to the whole story.
Marissa: Sorry okay continue no more interruptions.
Ryan: Okay and when I found that out I felt like they were trying to replace me. Kirsten comes home a little later and talks to me and asks me if they can adopt me.
Marissa: Adopt you? Can you even be adopted at your age?
Ryan: Exact thing I said but she said that I can and they want to make me legally theirs so that I feel like I'm a real part of the family. So I told her yes so now I am going to be Ryan Anthony Cohen.
Marissa: Oh my god are you serious?
Ryan: Yeah. So I guess you are going to be Marissa Ann Cohen. If that's okay with you.
Marissa: Are you kidding me it's awesome. You will finally be a real Cohen and I've always wished I was a Cohen.
Ryan: Good so Ryan Anthony Cohen, Marissa Ann Cohen, and Parker James Cohen. It's good that I haven't changed Parker's name yet.
Marissa: That poor child is going to be so confused. First it was Cooper then it was Atwood and now it's Cohen.
Ryan: Impressive huh?
Marissa: Yeah.
Ryan: She also asked me about the new kid and asked me if they could adopt her too. I said yes so I'm going to have a new brother and sister.
Marissa: That's so awesome that they left it up to ya'll.
Ryan: I thought so. Anyway she's a month old her parents died in a car crash and her family doesn't want her. Her name is something Grace. We are going to change it though she'll have three names plus the last name. Seth didn't get his name he picked out chosen so he gets to decide the order.
Marissa: So what did you guys choose?
Ryan: Well, Kirsten wanted to keep a part of her so Grace or Gracelyn. I chose Mikayla because it means gift from God and Sandy chose Sophia because he doesn't want to piss the nanna off.
Marissa: This is so exciting.
Ryan: I know I'm really happy about it.
Sandy enters.
Ryan: Listen babe I gotta go Sandy just walked in and I gotta talk to him. I'll talk to you later.
Marissa: Okay love you bye.
Ryan: Love you too bye.

Ryan hangs up the phone and looks over to Sandy.
Sandy: They just sent me over her file and everything is good. They also sent a picture.
Sandy hands Ryan the picture and Ryan looks at it. The baby has blonde hair and blue eyes and looks a lot like Kirsten.
Ryan: She's so pretty.
Sandy: Yeah, I know. I'm going to call Gayle come in the living room I'll get Seth and we will put it on speaker phone. Seth come down here please.
Seth: Yeah, be down in a minute.
Sandy: Okay well let me call Kirsten and tell her to come back here.
Sandy takes out his phone and calls Kirsten.
Kirsten: Hey Sandy.
Sandy: Hey honey where are you?
Kirsten: I just got into the car.
Sandy: Come back into the house we are going to call Gayle as a family and put it on speakerphone. I got the file and I want you to see a picture of your new daughter.
Kirsten: Okay I'm coming.
Sandy hangs up the phone just as Seth is coming downstairs and Kirsten is walking in the door. Kirsten runs over to Sandy and he hands her the photo. She looks at the picture and tears come rolling down her cheeks.
Kirsten: Oh my god she's so precious. Look at her smile and those eyes. We have to get this little girl!
Sandy: I know. She's adorable.
Seth: Ohhh let me see.
Seth went and looked over his mother's shoulder.
Seth: She's so cute look at her little button nose. Awwww she's smiling at me look mom she's smiling at us.
Kirsten: I know she's so pretty.
Sandy: Okay guys we have to call Gayle now. So everyone sit down.
Ryan, Seth, and Kirsten all sat down on the couch and there was only a little bit of space left for Sandy but he managed to squeeze in there.
Seth: Now that I have seen her I have decided her name. Mikayla Sophia Grace Cohen.
Ryan: Yeah that sounds good. I'll probably call her Gracie though.
Sandy: I'll probably call her Sophie.
Seth: I'm going to call her Bella
Kirsten: I'm going to call her Kayla.
Sandy: That's going to be one confused little girl.
Ryan: Yeah maybe we should all decide on one name to call her.
Sandy: I don't think we are all going to decide on one.
Seth: I'm not giving up on Bella!
Sandy: We can figure this stuff out later first we need to call Gayle.
Sandy picked up his cell phone dialed the number and put it on speakerphone.
Ms. Johnson: Hello this is Gayle Johnson with Newport Social Services. How can I help you today.
Sandy: Hello Ms. Johnson this is Sandy Cohen with my family. We have decided that we will take the little girl.
Ms. Johnson: You're sure?
Sandy: Yes of course. When do we need to pick her up?
Ms. Johnson: Well, how about I bring her by the house at five this afternoon. That should give you and your family time to prepare.
Kirsten: This afternoon! There is no way I can be ready by this afternoon. I have to pick out furniture and get the guest room fixed up and get it painted.
Sandy: She can sleep in the nursery until her room gets fixed honey. You can just go get the neccesities today.
Kirsten: What about setting up the party?
Sandy: You can call Julie and tell her to take over you two planned it together I think she can handle it.
Kirsten: I need the girls to help me shop. You think they would cut the spa day short?
Ryan: I think you have a good chance they're girls born and raised in California they love to shop.
Kirsten: Okay then that would be great.
Ryan: Oh yeah I have to pick the nanna up at three.
Ms. Johnson: Sorry to interrupt guys.
Sandy: Sorry I forgot you were there. Listen I was wondering if you could draw up the papers for my son Ryan's adoption.
Ms. Johnson: Isn't Ryan like twenty something?
Sandy: Yes but we would like to adopt him. Can you do that?
Ms. Johnson: Yes of course Mr. Cohen. I have his file on record and I will bring his and the babies papers. Is he going to be changing his last name?
Sandy: Yes and we will be changing the babies name too. We have decided on Mikayla Sophia Grace Cohen.
Ms. Johnson: That's a very beautiful name. I will see you around five.
Sandy: Okay thank you very much Ms. Johnson. Bye
Ms. Johnson: Goodbye.
Sandy turns off the phone and flips it closed.
Kirsten: Ryan why don't you call Marissa and ask her if they can cut it short.
Ryan: Sure.
Ryan takes his phone and dials Marissa's number.
Marissa: Hey I just talked to you.
Ryan: I know I'm on a mission from mom and dad though. They are getting the baby today and they were wondering if you and Summer could go with her to go shopping for the new baby.
Marissa: Well of course.
Ryan: Okay good. Kirsten will meet you guys at the mall and afterwards you can continue with your spa day.
Marissa: Okay that sounds good. Tell her that we'll meet her in the baby store.
Ryan: Okay I will bye.
Marissa: Bye.

Ryan hangs up the phone and puts it back in his pocket.
Ryan: They said they will meet you in the baby store.
Kirsten: Okay well I better go then. Sandy will you please go back to the club and help them set up?
Sandy: Yeah.
Kirsten: Okay bye boys.
Ryan & Seth: Bye mom.
Kirsten leaves. Sandy stands up and goes to leave.
Sandy: Bye boys. Ryan take care of the nanna.
Ryan: Yeah, I will bye.
Seth: Bye dad.
Sandy leaves and Seth and Ryan just sit there.
Ryan: So this has been an intense day.
Seth: Thank you so much Ryan.
Ryan: For what?
Seth: For agreeing to the adoption and putting your full trust in us.
Seth grabs him into a tight hug and Ryan let a few stray tears fall out of his eyes.
Ryan: Thank you so much for always being here for me. Even when I didn't deserve it.
Seth pulls away and wipes his eyes and Ryan does the same.
Seth: It's my job little brother.
Ryan just rolls his eyes and grabs his controller to the playstation and Seth does the same.
