Scene 10
The next morning after the Party Ryan woke up for his usual run. He ran along the winding rich streets of Newport, and down on the beach. He stopped for 10 mins to do push ups, sit up and crunches. Then he continued running all the way back to the Cohen's house. The run was extended 3 miles, now to 10. Today Ryan had some thinking to do. When he came back he went straight to the pool house to see if Addison was up. Her tiny body was still fast asleep on the bed the Cohen's had made up for her. She had a long night the night before. She wasn't used to those type of parties that the Cohen's went to.
Ryan walked outside into the kitchen where Sandy and Kirsten sat at the table reading the paper and drinking coffee. They were great parents, and great people. Ryan always wished he had real parents half as nice as Sandy and Kirsten.
As Ryan walked into the kitchen they both looked up and put down the paper.
Sa: "Morning Ryan!"
Ki "Morning sweetie. Coffee?"
Ry: "morning. Thank you." Ryan said smiling as Kirsten handed him a hot cup of coffee.
Sa: "Hey Ryan sit down.."
Ryan walked over and sat down on the opposite side of Kirsten and Sandy. They both looked really serious. Ryan was just hoping he didn't do anything wrong. The last thing he wanted to do was bring trouble into this nice family. They had been so good in opening there house to him and Addison.
Ki: "we've been thinking. Your 16. You should be raising a child on your own, especially one that isn't even yours. Over this past week that you and Addison have been here, we've loved it."
Sa: "Having you two here, has been like completing our family."
Ki: "So were thinking about adopting both of you. You know legally. Having you both move in here, you could have the pool house, and we have a free room for Addison."
Sa: "What do you think son?"
Ry: "I think its too much to ask. I love that you want to do this, but Addison is 4, she's a lot of work, are you really sure?"
Ki: "yes. We really want this."
Sa: "is it ok with you."
Ry: "ya I would love too."
Sandy and Kirsten both stood up and walked over to Ryan and hugged him. They were ecstatic to have them both part of the family now.
Ki: "Should we go wake Addison up to tell her?"
Ry: "Ya go for it. I have to go surfing and train. The Pipeline Masters are coming up, this is my big break."
Ryan left the house to surf while Kirsten and Sandy went out to tell Addison the good news. Before Ryan left he made sure to go up to Seth's room and invite him along to surf. Well not surf but sit on the beach and watch. That way he could hear all about him brining Summer home the night before.
