Hey! Thanks for the reviews!
Sorry for the confusion in the last chapter - Let's just imagine that Seth got that present sometime, I'm not sure how he didbut it was a nice touch to the story so you can imagine he got it anyway you want! For example, he told Summer to wait a minute while they were out so he could go into a shop or something, lol! Sorry!
So, I'm really enjoying writing this so I'm trying to get home in time to write another chapter and I think I'm updating quite fast for me! So you can stop listening to me now and read on...
Disclaimer - I do not own the O.C. I wish I did but...no.

Seth awoke early that morning with his arms still wrapped around a lightly snoring Summer. He looked down at her and took in every detail of her face. The way her lips curved upwards into a tiny smile when she slept that only he could notice, the little dusting of freckles over her nose, how her dark hair matched perfectly to her slightly brown skin. Everything about her so perfect. She was the girl of his dreams. Except this wasn't a dream.
He was so thrilled to have finally won her heart. His life went from dreaming about Summer who barely even glanced at him, to having her lying in bed with him, in love and pregnant with his child. It didn't matter what kind of situation they were in because he knew that as long as they had each other that everything would be alright.
He gently kissed her head and quietly slid out the bed and proceeded towards the kitchen. He thought that making her breakfast in bed would be a nice surprise. She deserved it after all she's been through.
As he put the bagels into the toaster and looked up to find Sandy walking into the kitchen towards the packet of bagels on the counter.
"Just making breakfast in bed for your mom." He said and smiled at his son.
"Same, but you know, not for mom. Well you know that I would, just I am doing this for Summer." He rambled.
Sandy knew what his son was going through. Kirsten was young when she was pregnant too. He knew that Seth would do the right thing and he would make a great father, seeing the way he treated Summer. He was always there for her when she needed, knew when she wanted to be alone, said all the right things to make her feel better and loved her with all his heart. The progress he had made in a year was excellant and he was so proud of his son.
"Do you love her?" He asked moments later.
"What?" Seth replied, clearly confused at his dad for asking this. "Yeah, I...yes I love her."
"So what? Are you gonna ask her to marry you? Are you gonna move in together?"
"Woah dad, slow down. I don't even think Summer is ready for this baby never mind marriage. As for moving in, I don't know. I have to talk to her about that." Seth poured orange juice into a glass and retreived the bagels from the toaster as Sandy put his in.
"I know son. I just want to see you making the right decisions. I don't want to see you unhappy."
"I just don't wanna move to fast. I can't believe that I'm going to be a dad! I want Summer to know that I'll always be there, I want her to know that I never plan on leaving her. I'm scared she thinks that I will." He felt better getting this off his chest. He knew his dad would understand how he was feeling and he was glad he could talkto him about anything.
"Then you gotta do something, to show her that you won't." Sandy said strongly, glad that Seth still felt he could talk to him about his problems.
"Hmm, yeah, thanks dad," Seth mumbled lost in his train of thought . He has a point.
He nodded his head in appreaciation towards Sandy and picked up the tray he had placed the bagels and juice on, along with a single red rose from the vase in the middle of the dining room table and walked back to his room.

"Got you some breakfast!" Called Seth to an empty room.
"Hold that thought!" Replied Summer who was throwing up in the bathroom.
As Seth rushed to her side she smiled and said, "Attractive, huh?"
"What?" He laughed at the very strange question from Summer.
"Me, puking all the time, then I'll be twice as big as both of us put together and have hormones running wild! Not the greatest qualities in a girl!"
"I know, but remember? You have special allowances! That means I won't care when you're the size of a house and you yell all the time!"
"Cohen! I forgot being supportive wasn't your strong point." She added sarcastically as she rinsed out her mouth. "So, breakfast?"
"Yup, in bed. Well you were when I made it and you had to get up so now it's just breakfast!" He said, handing her the rose and recieving a kiss in return.
Summer climbed back into the bed and gave him a look as if to say, happy now!He grinned and climed into the bed beside her while she helped herself to the bagels.
"It's not much but..." Started Seth.
"But the thought of anything heavier makes me wanna puke so you chose wisely." Summer finished for him, "We wouldn't want me to puke over you!" She said, looking cockily at Seth while he just laughed back at her.
When they were finished they just lay in silence for a while. Summer loved these silences with him. They weren't awkward or anything. Just nice. Seth moved his head so it was gently resting on Summer's stomach without too much pressure.
"Hey there little one!" Seth greeted her stomach, "I know you probably don't understand a word I'm saying but I wanted to say hi. Incase you don't know me, I'm your daddy and I think you're gonna be great! I hope you don't have as much drama in your lives as we have but I guess this Newport Beach so you have no hope."
"Yeah, no hope if you grow up with your daddy's rambling!" She said.
"Or your mom's bitchiness!"
"Hey! No swearing in front of the kid Cohen!" She said in a parental voice that they both burst into laughter atand kissed each other between fits of giggling.

Summer wanted to shower and get ready so Seth took the time to go out to the pool house to see Ryan, who he had hadn't spoken to for a few days. Seth knocked on the door and entered to find Ryan sitting on his bed, gazing up at the ceiling, not even moving until Seth snapped his fingers in the air in front of him.
"Hey Seth."
"Hey man, how've you been? How are things with Marissa? Considering the little interacting we've doing lately."
"Good. All good. So I heard about you and Summer?" He answered, prompting for some details.
"Yeah, pretty crazy, huh?" He said, figuring that Summer had told Marissa and she had told Ryan. He was ok with that though. It made life a little easier.
"Hmmm. You ok with it?"
"I'm great with it. I was pretty nervous at first but now, I kinda like the thought of having a little Cohen about!" He said with a smile.
"Little Cohen?" Ryan questioned, giving Seth one of his famous 'looks.'
"See that's why I'm here..."
Ryan knew what he meant. "This is big Seth. You're gonna propose to her?"
"I wanna but...Do you think it's too soon? I mean with everything that's happened?"
"If it feels right for you. Do you love her?"
"Ok, you're the second person to ask me that today and yes I do."
"And her?"
"I think she does, yeah, I mean she says it so she must."
"Then do it." He simply stated. He liked the feeling of giving someone advice and Seth truly deserved Summer. He usually wasn't too big with words or feelings but on the occasion he could break that rule. "If you love her alot, then I don't see why not. I mean, I wouldn't do it right away. Wait a while and make sure you're certain. Have you bought a ring?"
"Um...I was hoping you could help?"
"Me? I don't know what Summer likes. I think Marissa would be better on that front. They are best friends."
"Sure, all I need is to make up an excuse to leave the house for a while. Could you ask Marissa if this Saturday's ok? She could meet me at South Coast Plaza?"
"I'll ask her."
"Thanks man." Seth sincerely said, thinking that was one of the best conversations he had ever had with this man of not so many words. He opened the door to leave as Ryan called, "Good luck!"

Hey again! So that chapter was a little bit of a filler cause I couldn't think of anything that exciting to add in and I wanted to write something. I wanted a little pep-talk from Sandy! I was thinking, In the next chapterI will just fast-forward to a month later when Summer's next doctors appointment is and maybe they can tell her dad. Do you all agree that is a good idea!
Btw- can you find out the sex of the baby at 3 months cause if not I will fast forward to whenever you can! It would be greatly appreciated if someone could tell me - thanks!
Any suggestions are welcome, Thanks again - Summer-Breeze-171 :-)
