The Summer of Kayleigh Cohen

Chapter 8

AN. Thanks guys! Appreciate it.

I'm changing my penname because I just have too. My dad is starting to really want to read my stories and I don't really want that. So I changed it to SummerSunshine13. So yeah, I'm not KatieJowitter anymore. Sorry!

Sandy, Ryan, Seth and Kayleigh arrived home and they all fell onto the couch in one big lump, Kayleigh on top, of course.

"Well, that went good." Seth nodded as the silence really started to get to them. "Summer threatened to break up with me if I ever tired to spy on her and so that was really great."

"Marissa and I talked for a while. We are going to see each other tomorrow at Caleb and Julie's big "thing"." Ryan spoke, giving his input of their whole outing.

"Well, that's good buddy. At least one good thing came out of this." Seth beamed at this and nodded his head in satisfaction. "Dad? How did Mom like our little drop-in?"

"Aww. You know her. She keeps to herself. She seemed pleased though." Sandy's eyebrows raised at this and Seth followed them intently as he did so.

"Great dad. I'm just the only one that the whole thing blew up in my face. Aren't I the lucky one." He shifted Kayleigh in his arms as she started to fuss. "Are you hungry little girl? Mommy will be home in a little bit so she will feed you." Seth explained to the little infant. Ryan and Sandy all grimaced as Seth said it.

"Seth, we just ate." Ryan said to his brother in distaste.

"What? Oh. Sorry man. I'm immune to it now. It's nothing." Seth said of Summer breastfeeding.

"Seth." Ryan warned.

"Oh right." Seth nodded chuckling.

The phone rang and Ryan bounded up to answer it.

"Hello?…yes…ok…Oh my God….Are they okay…good… Okay, I will tell him….yes I know…thank you…Yes…he is right here….okay…thanks." He put his hand over the phone and nodded to Sandy. "It's for you. I'll get the car." Sandy immediately got up and rushed to the phone.

"What happened Ryan? Is everything all right?" Seth asked tripping over his own feet to get to him. Ryan's face turned white and he looked scared. When did Ryan ever look scared?

"It's Kirsten and Summer." He grabbed his jacket and took the keys from the table. "Get your stuff Seth." He headed towards the door. Sandy hung up the phone and walked to them.

"Guys…will someone tell me what is going on? What about my mom and Summer?"

"They've been in a car accident, son." Sandy acknowledged. "Now get in the car. The faster we get there, they faster we will know more."

"Is they all right?" Seth rambled. "Moses, Jesus, God, Noah even, anyone who's listening tell me what's happening."

"I don't know. They just said they arrived a little bit ago at the hospital." They piled into the car and Sandy pulled out of the driveway.

Seth's head appeared from the backseat and he spoke to his dad. "Okay. Dad. Speed it up. Summer always said 70's the new 60 but this calls for desperate measures. Go 90 dad."

Sandy, Seth, Ryan, and the baby all arrived in the hospital within a short time and Sandy rushed to talk to someone who would know where to go. The baby was crying and Seth couldn't get her to quiet down.

"Shhh. Kayleigh. Mommy's going to be okay. Good. Shhh." Seth tried to make her stop but he realized how hungry she was and he didn't bring anything along to give to her.

"Okay, boys. I got some info." Sandy announced to them. "Kirsten's in a room upstairs. They say she's under stable condition. They removed a lot of glass from her but she's doing okay with no internal bleeding or anything. She just woke up so I'm going to go see her. Seth. Summer's in the ER right now. Apparently during the collision, a big piece of metal went into her leg and they are just taking it out. She's going to be fine and they are almost done." Seth sighed.

"Hey Ryan? Do you want to come with me or my dad?" Seth asked, rocking Kayleigh in his arms.

"How about we all go see Kirsten right now and then when Summer comes out we'll see her?" Sandy interrupted.

"Okay." They all walked over to the elevator and waited for the door to open.

"I'm so glad everyone is okay." Ryan finally spoke getting in.

"It definitely was a miracle." Sandy agreed. They arrived in the next level of the big hospital and they looked around for Kirsten's room number.

"This one dad." Seth pointed across the hall. A doctor emerged from the room and Sandy stopped him.

"Hi. I'm sandy Cohen, Kirsten's husband. How is she?" He asked the doctor.

"She's doing much better then before. She wasn't waking up for us but right now it seems she is doing really well. The glass was a problem at first but everything worked out fine. Just a couple scraps on her forehead but that should disappear in a week or two. Other then that a couple bruises and she should make a full recovery in no time." The doctor nodded saying all this. "And the baby is doing fine. None of the glass went in too deep and it seems to be in perfect health. You are very lucky Mr. Cohen"

"Baby? Sandy asked surprised and Ryan and Seth echoed his word.

"Yes, perfect little one. Seems to be around 9 weeks along." The doctor gave him a weird look. "Did you not know your wife was pregnant?"

"No. no, I didn't." Sandy shook his head, letting the news soak in. "Wow."

"Well, congratulations and you can go and visit Kirsten now if you like. One at a time though." He nodded at them and left.

"Dad. You go first." Seth turned to Ryan and mouthed the word "baby."

"Okay. I'll make it short so you can see her." Sandy entered the room and saw his wife sitting on the white bed with a couple tubes going into her wrists and a bandage over her left side of her face.

"Hey honey." Sandy greeted her and she looked up at him.

"Hi." She said quietly. "How's Summer? No one would tell me." Kirsten asked nervously.

"She didn't make it." Sandy answered. Kirsten's eyes bulged and Sandy started to chuckle. "I'm joking. She's fine. She's in the ER to remove a piece of metal from her leg but she's going to be great. Now you should be worried about me. I almost had a heart attack when I got the news." Sandy smiled at her and gave her a big hug. "How are you doing?"

"I don't know, Sandy. I was just talking to Summer and then a car swerved in front of me and I slammed on my breaks. I don't remember anything else. I'm so sorry, Sandy."

"Honey, don't worry about that. It's the past. All I care about is whether you are okay." He kissed her forehead. "And you know what funny? The doctor was talking about a baby. Kirsten are you pregnant?" Sandy asked looking into her eyes.

Kirsten laughed nervously. "Yes."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner. I am thrilled! I am so happy!" Sandy hugged her again and she felt tears going down her eyes.

Sandy seemed to be in there forever and Seth was really anxious to see Summer. A nurse passed by and he stopped her.

"Could I ask you whether a Summer Roberts is out of surgery?" Seth asked. The little girl still hadn't stopped crying and he knew he had to do something about that soon.

"Umm. One moment, I will just have to look it up. Hold on." She walked over to a computer at the end of the hall and typed something in it.

"She just came out. She's in room 103. It's right down the hall on the left." She smiled at him and he walked with his baby in the direction she pointed him too.

Seth reached her room and he noticed a couple of nurses in the room with her. He knocked on the door and a nurse appeared.

"Hello. Can I talk to Summer?" The nurse looked between him and the crying infant and nodded.

"Ms Roberts. It looks like you have 2 visitors." Summer turned to look over to where the nurse was and she instantly smiled as she saw Seth and Kayleigh. Seth frowned as he saw the huge cast on her left leg but he didn't show it as he went to say hi to Summer. She looked so pretty with her long hair scattered down her shoulder that he couldn't resist but go over and give her a kiss.

"Hey!" Seth greeted happily. "Wow. I should never let my mom drive again." He laughed nervously.

"Hey Cohen." She half-smiled and hugged him." Hey baby…" She cooed to her daughter.

"Someone was really fussy today because she was hungry." Seth announced as summer took Kayleigh from him.

"Really?" She slid the paper gown off her shoulder and she started nursing her baby. "Hey Cohen, will you hand me a pillow over there?"

"Here." He handed it to her and she tucked in under Kayleigh.

"Thanks."

"So…" Seth said nervously. "How are you feeling?"

"Exhausted. I never want to get in a car crash again." She sighed looking at her pretty daughter. "Now aren't you glad I gave you Kayleigh. The police said the entire backseat had been crushed in and that there was anyone in the back they would have died."

"Noah must have been watching over you." Seth beamed.

Summer looked at him funny. "Noah? What happened to Moses and Jesus?" She asked confused.

"I thought, the more the better." Seth shrugged. "I'm so glad you are okay." Seth sighed.

"I'm sorry I got mad at you earlier." Summer apologized. "I was just mad and I don't know… I really am." Summer smiled up at him.

"That's okay." He grinned at her and took her hand. "Guess what I found out a little bit ago?" Seth inquired happily.

"What?" Summer gave up."

"You have to guess Summer. Hence the word guess."

"I don't know Cohen."

"Summer" He smiled at her. "Guess."

"After I just got a piece of metal the size of a baseball out of my leg and now I can't walk on it for at least a month, I think I deserve the right not to guess." Summer told him irritated. Rage Blackout anyone?

"Fine." He pouted. "My mom is with child. Isn't that neat?" He said excitedly.

"Wow. I never would have guessed." Summer replied, smiling

"Hey! Another Cohen! That's such a great thing!" Seth smiled, hugging her.
