The Summer of Kayleigh Cohen

Chapter 14

AN: I know I haven't been updating everyday because I have been a little under the weather and then I had to go school shopping for stuff and everything is just an excuse right now. LOL. School starts Monday so I don't know how much I will get done.

To sara: sorry, I didn't mean to "dis" your car. I actually like your type of car A WHOLE LOT but I like the other two more. That's what I meant. Sorry if I offended you and your car.

Kirsten Cohen stood outside the pool house door and knocking softly on it. She heard a mumbled "coming" and Summer quickly after appeared at the door.

"Do you know where Seth is?" Kirsten asked, her small hand resting of her 7 month pregnant belly.

Summer giggled and rolled her eyes, "I bet he's spit shining his Audi."

Kirsten and Summer sighed together. "What is it with men and cars?"

Summer shrugged and walked back into the pool house with Kirsten following.

"Ever since we bought our new car, Sandy had been washing and waxing that thing at least once a day!" Kirsten slowly eased herself onto the small couch in the corner of the room and watched Kayleigh crawl on the ground.

"If I didn't make Cohen watch Kayleigh, he would be doing the same, but probably twice a day." Summer replied, sitting on the floor and playing with Kayleigh's toy.

"I would never ogle over such a thing." Kirsten announced and chuckled.

"We have much better things to do." Kayleigh climbed into her mother's lap and gave a giggle. "So Kirsten, how's the baby doing?"

Kirsten sighed and patted her enlarging stomach. "The baby's been fine. Julie called me yesterday after she came home from the doctor's and she was in tears." Kirsten smiled suddenly. "Apparently, one of the nurses called her fat and she slapped the nurse and the nurse slapped her back." Summer couldn't hold it anymore and she burst out laughing.

"What happened?" Summer managed to say between the laughter. A pregnant woman in a cat fight was hilarious in any situation.

"I'm not sure but apparently it was quite a cat fight."

Summer shook her head and gave her daughter an Eskimo kiss. "Your great-nana Julie is pretty fat. You can't deny it, baby. She looks awful."

And with that, Kirsten began her time of laughing until Seth came in.

"Hey mom, Summer." He leaned down to Kayleigh who instantly smiled as she saw his face. "Hey baby." He picked her up. "I'm going to the comic book store at the mall. Do you want me to take Kayleigh?" He asked, with her in his arms, and searching around the small room for his jacket.

"Sure. That would be nice to have some time to relax. You don't mind?" Summer questioned to him. Summer(the season) was in full swing now; Sandy and Seth always left before sunup to surf and sail, respectively. It seemed like Marissa now had a permanent residence in Ryan's room since no one dared to sleep in the Julie Cooper Nichol Mansion and still had the hope of having a nice day afterwards; not that Ryan minded Marissa's company.

"Nah, it's nothing."

She lowered her eyes at him and sighed. "As long as we don't repeat the debacle that happened last time Cohen."

With a big grin on his face and a sigh, Seth grabbed his jacket and Kayleigh's diaper bag in one big sweep and was out the door with their daughter on his hip.

The morning had been relatively peaceful for Summer who was taking a bubble bath in the guestroom bath. Kayleigh had brought so many good things in their lives but it had also brought a lot of stress too. Now, watching the tiny bubbles pop around her and the warm water lap around her thin body, she didn't quite seem to mind all the stress if this was the cure for it. She wouldn't mind taking one of these once a day, heck! Maybe twice a day would be nice. But Summer had a life; a great one at that.

Summer closed her eyes and listened to the lovely silence for a moment until she heard a knock on the bathroom door.

"Summer? Are you in there?" Kirsten's voice sounded as the pounding continued.

"I'm in here. What do you want?" Summer asked politely and waited.

"ummm… Seth called a second ago. Something happened. I don't know what but something did. Get out of the tub and get dressed. We have to go to the hospital." Kirsten's voice was high-pitched and panicked.

"Oh my god." Summer replied as she almost leaped out of the bathtub and grabbed a peach colored towel. She didn't even bother drying herself off but wrapped it around herself and exited the bathroom following Kirsten down the stairs.

"Oh my god." Summer kept repeating to herself. Kirsten was also chanting something but it wasn't a comment; Summer realized she must be praying silently to herself.

Kirsten and Summer parted at the stairs and each went to grab their clothes. Summer dashed to the pool house and shed the towel and made quick work of dressing herself, probably for the first time in her life.

She hoped to whatever higher power that both her boyfriend and baby girl were all right and safe. Summer tried her best not to let the deep ache in her stomach worry her as she ran back into the Cohen house to find Kirsten.

30 minutes earlier

Seth with Kayleigh in tow walked up to the front entrance of the mall. He grinned as he saw a small little kiddy area for little children right in the front of the mall before you walk in.

"Kali, do you want to get wet?" The kiddy area was a little area with water and there was a little slide and random bursts of water from tiny holes in the ground. There was another little part, crowded with little kids and their parents, that allowed the children to be completely dunked in water.

Seth eagerly walked over to the area and sat down on a bench and started removing Kayleigh's little sundress so when she played in the water she was only wearing her diaper.

Seth stuffed the dress in the diaper bag and walked Kayleigh over to where the other toddlers and kids were.

"Do you want to go on the slide first?" Seth cooed softly to his baby. Of course she didn't reply and Seth took that as a yes. They walked over to it and Seth waited in line with all the other parents for their turn to help their kids go down. The slide was only 3 feet high and the slope was nothing. When it was Seth's turn he held onto Kali and let her slowly go down the slide and into the small pit of water in which she giggled profusely.

"Good job baby! That's my girl!" He cheered as he picked her up soaking wet and hugged her.

'Do you want to go to crawl where the little chutes of water are?" Seth asked his baby and carried her to that area.

Seth gently let her down and watched her crawl over to where one of the holes was. She randomly kept looking up at him like "are you still up there?"

Kayleigh finally made it to where the water exploded to the air and she walked right in it getting herself wet all again. She stopped stunned and Seth ran over there thinking she was about to start crying but instead she looked up at him and giggled, putting herself into the water again. Seth beamed and sat on the ground next to her as she explored the other chutes of water near them.

5 minutes later, Seth decided it had been long enough for the water holes and he bought Kali to the tiny pool and decided after that they would go into the mall like they had planned.

"Here you go." Gently he settled Kali into the small water area and held onto her tightly so she wouldn't sink.

"I think you are going to be a little fish when you are older aren't you. Are you going to swim like Summer does? Actually she doesn't swim that that much but if she did, you would be like her." Seth rambled to his daughter and smiled. Kayleigh's little hands smacked the water happily sending little waves and splashes out and she giggled happily.

"I take it you like the water. We should take you swimming in our pool. You would like that." He baby talked to her and suddenly someone pushed him hard in the other direction and his hold on Kayleigh disappeared as he fell on the ground. Stumbling up and not even looking for the person who shoved him, he grabbed his Kayleigh out of the water who was sinking slowly to the bottom of the 3 feet deep pool. He grabbed her and tried his best of baby CPR as she wasn't moving. As they say "3 seconds is too long."
