A/N: Sorry it has take me so damn long to update it's like I haven't even thought about it lately. Thanks to everyone that has reviewed to my story. I will try to remember to update more often. R&R Thanks!

Kirsten arrives at the mall and goes into the baby store and sees Marissa and Summer.
Kirsten: Hey girls.
Marissa: Hey Kirsten. Congratulations.
Summer: Yeah congrats.
Kirsten: Thanks girls.
Summer: So are you excited?
Kirsten: Oh so much. I have always wanted a daughter that I can dress her up and she can be a deb. You girls are like my daughters but I have always wanted to raise a daughter. Now I have three daughters.
Marissa: That means a lot Kirsten. Thank you.
Summer: Yeah.
Kirsten: Well, you two mean a lot to me. So lets do what we do best and shop.
They started walking around the store looking at everything.
Summer: Where is this new babies room going to be?
Kirsten: Oh we are going to clear out the only guest room left and we are going to paint it and order furniture. I was thinking about asking them to engrave her name in her crib.
Summer: That sounds really good. How are you going to paint the room?
Kirsten: I'm not really sure. I want it to be cute but something not to babyish so we don't have to repaint it when she grows up.
Summer picked up a little pink dress.
Summer: This is cute. What do you think?
Kirsten: Yeah.
Kirsten took it and put it into the basket.
Marissa: Oh you know what you should do. You should paint it like my old room back at the apartment. Seth painted it and it was amazing.
Kirsten: What was it?
Marissa: It was a scene from some movie it was Paris. I have pictures at home I could bring them by.
Kirsten: Thanks. Now we have to get a car seat,bottles, formula, diapers, clothes, a stroller, and a diaper bag. I will get everything else when we set up her room.
Summer: How about we split up so we get this done faster. Kirsten you can get the clothes. Marissa and I will get everything else.
Kirsten: Good idea.

Summer and Marissa walked away to get some of the other things she needed and Kirsten just kept looking at the clothes. She was really excited to be shopping for her new daughter. She never thought that she would ever have a daughter not that she wasn't happy with just her boys, but it was a little overwhelming to be the only female. She was glad that Kayla was so young because it meant that she could watch her grow up. She never got the chance to watch Ryan grow up and that made her sad sometimes. She was really glad that she had allowed him to stay because now that he was here she can't even remember what it was like to not have Ryan. She really did love him and was very excited that he had agreed to the adoption. Suddenly she felt something tapping her back and it scared her so much that she jumped and turned around to see Summer.
Kirsten: Jesus, you scared the hell out of me! You trying to give me a heart attack?
Summer just looked like she was about to cry.
Summer: Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.
Kirsten: I'm sorry Summer I was just thinking it's not your fault. What's up?
Summer: I was wondering if Marissa's dad is coming to the party tonight? Did he ever R.S.V.P?
Kirsten: Yeah, he's probably on a plane as we speak.
Summer: Good she'll be really excited to see him.
Kirsten: How long has it been since she has seen him?
Summer: Uh I think about a year and a half.

Kirsten nodded and picked up a little pink onsie that had a crown on it and had the word princess aross it.
Summer: Uh Marissa sent me over here to ask you something. I forgot. Oh well, I guess it hadn't been that important.
Kirsten laughed at how forgetful Summer was sometimes. One time Seth sent Summer inside to get something and she forgot what it was she was looking for like two seconds later.
Summer: Oh yeah! Do you need any of those little blankets.
Kirsten: Yeah get me about ten of them. Thanks.
Summer: No problem.
Summer walked away and left Kirsten to look at more clothes. Two hours and a lot of money later Kirsten and the girls walked out of the store with a clerk from the store following them to the car. They had so much stuff that they couldn't carry it by themselves so they asked him to help them. Kirsten looked down at her watch and realized that she really needed to get back to the club to help set up. It was already twelve and she started getting more excited by the minute that she will be meeting her daughter soon. They got to the car and put everything in the trunk then Marissa and Summer left to go back to the spa. Kirsten got into the car and called the house.
Ryan: 'Lo.
Kirsten: Hey Ryan.
Ryan: Hey mom.
Kirsten smiled she really loved it when he called her mom.
Kirsten: What are you two doing?
Ryan: Uhm we are sitting here watching some comedian that's pretty funny.
Kirsten: Have you boys ate anything yet?
Ryan: Nope. We were just about to raid the fridge after this.
Kirsten: No need I'm coming home to drop off all the stuff at the house I'll pick up some take out. What do you want?
Ryan: Hold on let me ask Seth. (to Seth) Dude, mom is going to pick up take out what do you want?
Seth: Thai.
Ryan: (to Kirsten) He said Thai.
Kirsten: Is there anything special you want?
Ryan: Nope.
Kirsten: Okay. I'll be home in about twenty minutes.
Ryan: Kay bye.
Kirsten: Bye sweetie.

We go to the Cohen house where Seth is staring at the T.V. laughing at the joke the comedian just told.
Ryan: Mom said she'd be home in twenty minutes. You think she'll ever knock off calling me sweetie anytime soon?
Seth: Maybe.
Ryan: Did you even hear anything I said.
Seth: No not really.
Ryan: You're an asshole you know that?
Seth: Yeah your momma.
Ryan: Seth you do realize that you're calling your mom an asshole. I should tell her that you said that.
Seth: Go ahead I'm not afraid of her.
Ryan: You're a liar. I'm telling her as soon as she walks through the door.
Seth: Do it! I told you I'm not scared of mom. You may be scared of her but I'm not.
Ryan rolled his eyes and sat in silence watching the t.v. laughing whe it was funny but not saying anything else. They sat in silence until Kirsten walked in the door.
Kirsten: Hey boys.
Ryan: Hey mom.
Seth: Hey.
Ryan: Guess what Seth said.
Seth whipped his head twords Ryan and begged him with his eyes.
Kirsten: What did you say Seth.
Seth: (quietly so only Ryan can hear him) Dude don't seriously. I lied I am scared of the Kirsten. The Kirsten will tell the Sandy and then he'll get mad and he's scary when he's mad. Ryan please please don't tell her.

Seth shot up off the couch and went over to his mother.
Seth: Here mother let me help you with the bags.
Seth grabbed the bags from her hands and walked into the kitchen and sat them down on the counter.
Kirsten: What did Seth say Ryan?
Seth comes out of the kitchen when he heard that trying despreretly to keep his brother from telling on him.
Seth: Mom isn't there a lot of stuff in the trunk. Ryan and I should probably go out to the car and get the stuff out of the car. Come on Ry we need to help our mother out.
Ryan stood up and laughed at Seth's lame attempt to divert Kirsten's attention. He walked out the door and Seth followed him mumbling about how having siblings wasn't as cool as he thought it was. Ryan opened the trunk door and his eyes widened at how many bags there were.
Ryan: Dude mom went a little overboard, huh?
Seth: Holy Moses I haven't seen that many shopping bags in one car in my life.
Ryan: This must have cost a small fortune.
Seth: Yeah. I think it's going to take us weeks to get all these bags out of this car.
Ryan: Don't be a drama queen. You got yourself into this because you wanted to make mom forget that you said something so it's your fault.
Seth: We were going to have to do it anyways. I was just speeding up the process. Dude I'm so hungry lets bring in the stuff after we eat.
Ryan: Yeah, I'm really hungry too.
Ryan closed the door to the back of the car and they walked back in the house.
Ryan: Hey mom we are going to wait to get the bags out of the car because we are starving.
Kirsten: Okay as long as it gets done sweetie.

Ryan walked into the kitchen and helped Kirsten put the rest of the stuff on the table. When everything was on the table they sat down and started serving themselves.
Ryan: I'm thirsty anyone need anything while I'm up?
Kirsten: I could go for some orange juice.
Seth: Mountain Dew.
Ryan got up and opened the refrigirator and grabbed a bottle of orange juice and two bottles of Mountain Dew. He then walked over to the table and gave them their drinks.
Kirsten: Thanks sweetie.
Seth: Yeah thanks little brother.
Kirsten: Seth you know it annoys him when you call him that. If you don't want to get hit I'd shutup.
Seth: Mom Ryan's not allowed to hit me.
Kirsten: Who says?
Seth: Dad and you.
Kirsten: We never told him that he couldn't hit you. We told him to try to stop getting in so many fights. That was years ago anyways. If he hits you then we know you deserve it.
Ryan stuck his tongue out at Seth when Kirsten wasn't looking and Seth stuck his tongue at him.
Seth: Mom that's not fair! Why do you always take his side?
Kirsten: I don't take sides Seth but Ryan has asked you a million plus times to not call him that. You do it just to annoy him.

Seth just crossed his arms over his chest and stuck out his lip.
Ryan: Look he's pouting like a little girl.
Kirsten: Ryan don't call him a girl.
Seth stuck his tongue out at Ryan and went back to eating satisfied that his mom defended him.
Kirsten: God, I swear you two are like five year olds.
Seth: What do you mean by that?
Kirsten: You are arguing about stupid things and tattling on each other and worst of all sticking your tongues out at each other.
Seth: You weren't supposed to see that. We are just making up for lost time.
Ryan and Kirsten exchanged a look that said "what the hell is he talking about."
Ryan: I think I speak for everyone at this table when I say huh?
Seth: We didn't get to spend our childhoods together and now that we are officially going to be brothers we are making up for that by acting like we are five.
Ryan: Seth that really doesn't make sense but whatever.
Seth: Dude really think about it and you'll see that it makes perfect sense.
Ryan sat there for a few seconds with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Ryan: Okay I thought about it and it still doesn't make sense.
Seth: Dude leave the comedy to me.
Ryan: How come you're the only one who's supposed to be funny. I think that is a little discriminatory.
Seth: Well, I wouldn't mind it so much if your comedy was funny. Which it's not by the way.
Kirsten: Boys stop you're giving me a headache.
Ryan: Sorry.
Kirsten: Did any guests come by yet?
Ryan: Well, nobody but Anna. Speaking of she said she'd be back and she isn't back yet.
Seth: She's probably getting it on.
Kirsten: Seth that's gross. So Anna brought a date?
Ryan: Yeah she brought her girlfriend Alexandra or something.
Kirsten: I didn't even know she was seeing anyone. How long have they been seeing each other?
Ryan: Uhm I think a few months or so.
Kirsten: Well, that's good. I'm glad she's found someone.
Seth: I just had a thought. I think we should let Bella hang out with Anna a lot.
Ryan: Why?
Seth: Maybe she'll become a lesbian too so that we don't have to worry about her and boys.
Kirsten: Don't say that.
Seth: Why do you have something against gay people mother?
Kirsten: No of course not. I wouldn't care if she did turn out to be a lesbian but it would be easier if she wasn't. This place isn't the greatest place to be gay. People here aren't accepting and she will be an outcast.
Seth: Like Luke's big gay dad?
Kirsten: Don't call Carson that.
Seth: Sorry. So I've decided what I'm going to teach my little sister.
Ryan: (mumbling) This should be good.
Kirsten: What are you going to teach your little sister Seth?
Seth: I'm going to teach her about comics, video games, and hating water polo players.
Kirsten: You don't hate all water polo players. There was Luke and Zach.
Seth: Oh yeah Luke who tortured me for years and didn't want to be my friend until he lost all his friends because of his-
Kirsten: Don't even say it Seth.
Seth: Okay because of Carson, and then there's Zach who tried to steal Summer from me and hit me a couple of times. Oh yeah I love water polo players.
Ryan: They really aren't that bad Seth.
Seth: Oh yeah, well they didn't piss in your shoes.
Kirsten: Seth don't say piss.
Ryan: You mean they actually did pee in your shoes? I thought you were kidding.
Seth: I wouldn't kid about pee in my shoes that's just something you don't kid about.
Ryan: Did you put your foot in it?
Seth: No thank god. I noticed it before I put my feet in it. That was an interesting convorsation with mom though.
Kirsten: I remember that you came home bare foot and you told me you threw your shoes away.
Seth: You were so mad at me.
Kirsten: That's because those shoes were brand new. Then you told me what happened.
Seth: You were so pissed you said you were going to call their mothers.
Ryan: You didn't call their moms did you?
Seth: I talked her out of it.
Ryan: Yeah, that would have made things a whole lot better.
Kirsten: They peed in his brand new shoes. They shouldn't have gotten away with it.
Ryan: They probably would have beat the crap out of him if you called their moms.
Seth: That's exactley what I told her.
Kirsten: Well, I did talk to Dr. Kim and she was very discreet and gave them detention.
Seth: Yeah, they still knew I told my mom and they called me mamma's boy for months until Norland thought up Death Breath Seth.
Ryan: Why did they call you that again?
Seth: I don't know really. I guess because it rhymed. They aren't that smart them water polo players.
Ryan: Did you forget to brush your teeth or something?
Seth: No I always brushed my teeth.
Ryan: I hope Gracie or Alexis and Adriana don't date water polo players.
Seth: Please my kid's or my sister dating water polo players that's never going to happen.
Ryan: You can't control who they date.
Seth: I can make them hate water polo players.
Kirsten: You shouldn't tell your kids to hate anyone. So Ryan are you excited about the party?
Ryan: Why does everyone keep asking me that? Of course I'm not I'm going to a party for me that almost everyone there is going to hate me.
Kirsten: Who hates you?
Ryan: All the Newpsies. They are like Julie Cooper except there are so many of them.
Seth: Hey Julie Cooper started it all. She was hating you before it was trendy. Now that she doesn't anymore someone has to hate you.
Kirsten: You know why they hate you?

Ryan just shrugged his shoulders and took a bite of his food.
Kirsten: It's because they are jealous.
Seth: Jealous mom I don't think they are jealous.
Kirsten: No really they are. They are jealous because you've become a successful person with a great fiance and son. You started out with nothing and worked your way to the top. Their kids started out with everything and their kids have nothing. Most of them are either still living at home or living off their trust funds. You worked your way through college and their kids didn't do anything in college except party. You graduated top of your class at college and their kids if they made it through college were beneath you. They can't stand that you are now better than their kids. Hell, you were always better than their kids but they didn't know it.
Seth: I get your point mother.
Ryan: Yeah, well they still treat me like shit. I really hate Newpsies.
Kirsten: Ryan language.
Ryan: Sorry.
Kirsten: Anyways. Are you boys done?
Ryan: I am.
Seth: Me too.
Kirsten: I really need you boys to get the stuff out of the car. I really need to get back to the club.
Ryan: Yeah, we'll go out there and get the stuff.

Kirsten stood up and kissed each of her boys on the cheeks and then put her plate in the sink.
Kirsten: You boys are great. What would I do without you two?
Seth: I don't know maybe carry the bags in by yourself.
Kirsten: Haha.
Ryan stood up and started walking out the door. He looked back and saw that Seth was still sitting at the table.
Ryan: Come on dude.
Seth: I don't want to.
Ryan: You want me to punch you?
Seth: No I'm up.
Seth got up and walked over to him. They went outside and brought in all the bags. Kirsten left after they finished and they sat down on the couch. Ryan pulled his cell phone and flipped it open.
Seth: Who are you calling?
Ryan: Anna.
Ryan dialed the number and waited about three rings before someone picked up.
Girl: Hello.
Ryan: Who's this?
Girl: Alex.
Ryan: Oh Anna's girlfriend. Is she around?
Alex: Nah, she's in the shower. Who's this?
Ryan: Ryan I was just wondering when you are coming.
Alex: Uh, I don't know. Hang on she just got out.
Ryan: Okay.
Anna: Hey babe!
Ryan: Anna please stop with the cutesy nicknames.
Anna: Sorry. So what's up?
Ryan: Well, you missed a lot in the few short hours since we talked so I was wondering when you were coming.
Anna: I just got out of the shower and I have to get dressed so like thirty minutes.
Ryan: I thought you guys were going to be here after an hour.
Anna: Yeah, well we got busy.
Ryan: Okay too much information.
Anna: Yeah sorry about that. So what happened?
Ryan: I'll explain when you get here it's a long story.
Anna: Okay. I'll see you later then.
Ryan: Yeah. Bye.
Anna: Bye.

Ryan hung up and looked over at Seth.
Ryan: Hey what do you want to do now?
Seth: I don't know. When is Anna coming?
Ryan: She said about thirty minutes.
Seth: Well, we could play playstation.
Ryan: I'm sick of playing playstation. Oh I know let's go float in the pool.
Seth: It is a hot day. That's a great idea.
Ryan: All right then. Go get your suit on.
Seth got off the couch and Ryan walked into the pool house and changed and they both met up at the pool. Seth did a cannonball into the pool and got Ryan soaked.
Ryan: Thanks a lot dude.
Seth: You're welcome.
Ryan jumped in the pool and then climbed on one of the floaties that were floating around. Seth grabbed one too and got on it. They floated around until they heard the doorbell ring.
Ryan: WE'RE BACK HERE IN THE POOL.

He yelled this because he didn't feel like getting up. He saw Anna come into the backyard.
Anna: God you two are the laziest boys ever.
Ryan: Yeah, well why don't you get your cute little ass in here and be lazy with us.
Anna: Yeah that sounds fun too bad I don't have a suit.
Seth: My mom has extras or you can burrow one of Marissa's.
Anna: Who's going to get out to get it?
Just then someone walks into the backyard. They both immediately recognize her and Seth falls off his floatie while Ryan just stared at her. It was Alex Kelly.
Ryan: Alex what the hell are you doing here?
Anna: How do you know Alex?
Ryan: This is your girlfriend?
Anna: Yeah.
Seth: Hey Alex. How are you?

Seth walked over to the steps and got out.
Alex: I'm good.
Ryan also got out and grabbed a towel and walked into the pool house. Anna went after him and waited in his room while he changed in the bathroom. He got out and saw Anna sitting there.
Ryan: Hey Anna.
Anna: Ryan what the hell is going on?
Ryan: Can I explain it to you later?
Anna: Yeah.
Ryan: Okay why don't you go inside with Seth and send Alex in here so I can talk to her.
Ryan noticed the look on Anna's face and felt bad but he couldn't explain it now. He needed to talk to Alex first.
Ryan: Come on Anna just do me this one favor. I swear either me or her will explain later.
Anna: Okay.
Anna walked out of the pool house and told Alex that Ryan wanted to talk to her and went into the house. Alex walked into the pool house and Ryan was sitting on his bed with a pair of jeans and a wife beater on with his head in his hands.
Alex: Look Ryan I know that you don't want me here. Hell, I don't even really want to be here.
Ryan: Then why are you here. Did you just come here to cause drama?
Alex: No. I just came here because Anna invited me and I couldn't say no.
Ryan: So Anna doesn't know about anything?
Alex: She knows I lived in Newport but other than that no.
Ryan: Why didn't you tell her?
Alex: I don't know. I just didn't want to I guess.
Ryan: I'm not going to lie to her. She's my best friend I'm not going to do it.
Alex: I'll tell her you just have to let me tell her.
Ryan: Marissa is not going to be happy about this.
Alex: I know if I could get out of going tonight I would. I don't want to stir things up for you two.
Ryan: Do you have any idea how bad you hurt her?

While Marissa was in college, after her and Ryan broke up, she ran into Alex. They started talking and they eventually started their relationship back up. They moved into an apartment together and they were dating for about a year. They were so happy but Marissa still hadn't told anyone besides Ryan and Summer. After their anniversary Marissa told Alex that she was going to go back to Newport for the weekend and Alex begged Marissa to take her with her. Marissa said no but Alex kept trying to convince her to take her. Marissa told her no and left for the weekend. The reason why she wouldn't take Alex was because she was going to tell everyone as a surprise. Julie was furious and told Marissa she'd disown her and take away her trust fund and take her out of her will. Marissa told her mom she didn't care about the money she said all she cared about was Alex. She left after the weekend and went back to New York. When she got home she was going to make a romatic dinner for Alex and tell her over dinner. When she walked in all of Alex's stuff was gone and she left her a note saying that if she couldn't tell anyone about them then she couldn't be in a relationship with her because it was breaking her heart. Marissa was so broken hearted that she started drinking and cried over the phone with Ryan for hours.
Alex: I hurt her? How about how she broke my heart everytime she went to Newport and wouldn't take me with her. She wouldn't even tell anyone about us. I loved her so much that it hurt but evidently she didn't love me enough.
Ryan: You know why she wouldn't take you the last time she went?
Alex: Because she didn't want anyone to know about us.
Ryan: No because she was telling everyone and she didn't want you to be there when she did.
Alex: What?
Ryan: Yeah, she came down to tell her mom that you two were dating. Her mom threatened to cut her out of her life and cut her trust fund if she didn't break up with you. She told her mom to go to hell that all she cared about was you. She was going to surprise you when she got back.

Alex got a sad look on her face and looked like she was going to cry.
Ryan: Yeah she called me at four o clock in the morning crying. She was completely drunk and stayed that way for months.
Alex: I didn't know that.
Ryan: Yeah.
Alex: I'm sorry Ryan if I would have known that I wouldn't have come. I'm really happy for you guys.
Ryan: Thanks.
Alex: I think I'm going to tell Anna I'm going to go back to the hotel.
Ryan: That's a good idea.
Alex: I'll just tell her that I'm not feeling well and she should stay.
Ryan: Okay well tell them that I'll come in later.
Alex: Okay bye.
Ryan: Bye.

Alex walked out of the pool house and Ryan layed back on the bed and stared at the ceeling. Meanwhile in the house Anna and Seth are playing video games when Alex walks in. They are laughing and talking.
Alex: Hey. I'm not feeling well, I think I'm going to go back to the hotel.
Anna paused the game and walked over to Alex.
Anna: Are you okay?
Alex: Yeah my stomach feels funny. I think I'm just going to go back to the hotel and go to sleep.
Anna felt her forehead and Alex smiled at her.
Anna: You don't feel warm. You want me to come with you?
Alex: No you stay here with Seth and Ryan I just need to sleep it off.
Anna: You're still coming to the party tonight right. I want you to meet Marissa.
Alex: Um if I'm feeling better I'll come back.
Anna: Okay well I'll call you later okay.
Alex: Okay I love you.
Anna: I love you too.
Anna kissed Alex on the lips and rested her forehead against hers.
Anna: I'll talk to you later.
Alex: Okay. Bye sweetie.
Anna: Bye.
Anna walked back over to the couch and picked up her controller.
Seth: Bye Alex.
Alex: Bye.
Alex walked out the door and Anna started the game back up.
Anna: Seth what the hell is going on?
Seth really didn't want to lie to Anna but he didn't want to rat Alex out.
Seth: I don't know.
Anna: Well, how do you two know Alex?
Seth: We met her at a club she was working at while she lived here.
Anna: Oh okay. Well, why doesn't Ryan like her?
Seth: How do you know Ryan doesn't like her?
Anna: I don't know he just was like all angry.
Seth: I really don't know.
Anna: Oh okay.
They continued playing while Ryan fell asleep on his bed.
