The Summer of Kayleigh Cohen
Chapter 12
Summer, Seth, and Sandy all sat in the living waiting for Kirsten. Kirsten had no clue they were waiting for her but boy was she going to be surprised.
"Sandy!" She yelled walking into the kitchen. "Where is the phone?"
"Honey! It's in here." He replied, shouting back to her.
Kirsten, clothes in a big pink bathrobe walked into the living room and placed her hands on her hips.
"Are you all going to watch me call Caleb?" She shook her head, chuckling.
"Yes and you have to put it on speaker-phone, mom." Seth nodded eagerly. Summer agreed too, rocking Kayleigh in her arms.
"Sandy…" He pleaded.
"What's the harm, honey? If you didn't let them they would listen in on the phone upstairs." Sandy responded seriously. Seth nodded in agreement and gave his mom his best attempt at "puppy eyes"
"Fine." Kirsten agreed and sat down on the couch next to her husband.
Kirsten dialed the number and waited for her father to answer. Seth, Summer, and Sandy all listened ready to burst into laughter if the moment demanded it.
"Hello?" Julie's voice came into the room and Seth and Sandy both groaned at this.
"Oh hi Julie." Kirsten gave a death glare towards her two boys. "Is my father around?"
"No. I just sent him to buy organic mushrooms and pickles to go along with some Ben and Jerry's that I've been craving." Julie laughed. "I'm going to be so fat by the time the baby comes." You could almost see Julie smiling an evil glare onto the phone.
"Oh well. Do you know when he'll be back?"
"Gees. Probably 45 minutes. He has to go all the way to Homer's Market 30 miles away. Want me to take a message, Kiki?" Julie asked, thoughtfully, for probably the first time in her adult life.
Kirsten looked over towards Sandy and both Sandy and Seth were mouthing "tell her" and Kirsten glared back at them.
"Kiki? You there?" Julie asked puzzled.
"Yes, Sorry Julie." Kirsten sighed. "Will you tell my father when I get back that iamhavingababythesametimeasyou," Kirsten rambled extremely fast so maybe Julie wouldn't hear and then she hung up immediately.
"Good going, Honey." Sandy chuckled and hugged his wife, still laughing.
"Mom, that was hilarious. I bet Julie is freaking out right now." Seth laughed.
Even Summer was laughing.
"Guys, stop laughing. This isn't funny." Kirsten warned, feeling a big grin coming on herself.

Within 15 minutes the doorbell rang incessantly and Summer ran over to get it.
She opened up the door and Julie came bursting in.
"Where is Kirsten!" She asked frantically. Summer grinned at this.
"Hi Julie. Good to see you too. Have you seen how much Kayleigh has grown since you've last seen her?" Summer told her quickly holding up her baby.
"I don't care about her. Where is Kirsten?" Summer frowned.
"She went to work today. She left about 5 minutes ago." Summer smiled at her and watched Julie leave in a hurry without even saying a goodbye.
Summer shrugged and shut the door. Laughter in the kitchen exploded and Summer called. "Kirsten, it's clear. I don't think she'll be back for an hour. I bet she's already half way to your work." Summer giggled to her almost mother-in-law.
"Thanks Summer."
"Any day, Mrs. C." Summer sighed. "I mean mom." Seth looked at her weird.
"Since we are going to be married soon, I figured it would br fitting to call your mother, my mom." Summer stated proudly, handing over Kayleigh to her mom.
"I guess a lot for people will be calling you mom soon, mom" Seth grinned at her.

Summer cell rang nosily, and Summer reached over to the nightstand to answer it.
"Hello?" Summer put the phone to her ear and put her baby daughter into her crib.
"OH MY GOD SUM! Is Kirsten pregnant?" Marissa yelled onto the phone, excitedly.
"I guess someone just talked to Julie." Summer laughed. "Yes, Kirsten is pregnant. 4 months to be exact."
"That's so awesome! Does that mean the baby is going to be my niece?" Summer's best friend asked, confused.
"Coop, I have no idea. I quit trying to find out about family connections when Julie announced she was pregnant." Summer sighed, giggling.
"Well, anyways. This is going to be so fun. Is Seth excited to have a little brother or sister?"
"I think he is. He kept rambling about football. He thinks the baby is going to be a boy."
"That would be cute but Kirsten needs a little girl." Marissa announced.
"I agree. But for some reason, I think your mom should have a boy. What do you think?"
"I know what it is." Marissa exclaimed. "But I'm worn under secretacy not to tell anyone."
"Coop. Not fair!"
"Sorry."
"That's okay. So how did that thing go with Ryan today?" Summer asked, almost forgetting.
"We got back together!" She screamed happily to her best friend. "We talked for almost an hour and then he kissed me."
"That's so cute, Coop."
"I know." She sighed, in love. "I gotta go. Ryan's just waking up. Later and tell Kirsten congrats."
"I will. Love ya." She gave an audible air-kiss to Marissa and closed her flip-phone.

"Mommy!" Little Kayleigh giggled happily pouncing onto her parents bed early Saturday morning.
"What's is it Sweetie?" Summer asked, groggily. She wasn't used to getting up at 4:30 in the morning since Kayleigh was 1.
"Lets go." Kayleigh small little arms tried to pull her mom out of bed but Summer snuggled into the soft warm covers even more.
"Cohen." Summer begged, tired.
Seth looked so cute with his arms laid out in 2 opposite directions and his head under the pillow. "mmm?" Seth mumbled waking out of sleep.
"Make her go to sleep." Summer moaned and turned on her side.
"DADDY!" She shouted happily and climbed over her mother to hug him.
"What are you doing up so early." He groaned as he looked at the early time on the clock. "Go back to bed." Summer and Seth were not morning people at all.
"But daddy. We have to go." She pleaded, giving an exact replica of Summer's puppy eyes.
"Where?" He was too tired to comprehend anything.
"We have to go to Disneyland!" She explained excitedly.
"It doesn't open for many many hours, honey." Seth realized.
"Really?" Kayleigh said, disappointed. "Can we go in an hour?" She asked, hoping it would be sooner then this.
"Much more. So how about you go back to sleep and we will come wake you when it's time to go. Sound good?" Seth asked flipping onto his back and hugging his 'little girl.'
"Okay daddy." She agreed but she didn't move.
"Sweetie, do you want to sleep with us until then?" Seth questioned his daughter.
Kayleigh nodded eagerly and snuggled into the blanket between Summer and Seth.
"I love you Daddy. I love you Mommy." She sighed, content in her new position.
"We love you too honey." He responded softly falling back to sleep.
