The Summer of Kayleigh Cohen
Chapter 17
AN: In a review someone said they were excited the babies would be born next chapter and I was like, No, the babies aren't even close to being born. Then I realized they were absolutely right. I totally forgot both Julie and Kirsten were 8 months preggers.
Anyhoo, I'm not quite ready for that but expect it in the next few chapters. The baby shower will be after the babies are born. It's more fun like that.

ONE MONTH LATER!
Swollen feet, stomach soccer matches, severe craving, and disastrous mood swings were life in the OC.
Summer wasn't even half as bad as Julie and Kirsten when she was pregnant just 7 months ago. Now Summer's little baby was crawling wherever she pleased and made a nuisance of everything- especially the toilet paper. She would always crawl directly towards the bathroom and go right to it pulling it down strand-by-strand and making a terrible mess for either Summer or Seth to pick up.
Marissa and Ryan were gone most of the time probably making out by the beach on his Prowler or her Porsche. They made sure to be away during the daytime or they would be split up to help Julie and Kirsten.
Caleb seemed useless in his old age and sat on the sofa watching football or hockey reruns. Julie was fed up with him. He wouldn't help with anything.
Sandy on the other hand was a godsend. He would pamper and treat Kirsten to whatever she wanted. Even if it was 3 am in the morning he would get dressed and go to the grocery store if Kirsten craved a Popsicle. No matter what, he was there for her.
"Cohen. Earth to Cohen." Summer waved her hand annoyed in his face. "COHEN." She screeched. Seth never was the one to pay attention.
"huh?" He blinked and looked up at her.
"HUH? Were you not listening to me for the last 30 minutes?" She asked upset. Summer was trying to get all the wedding arrangements ready and Seth wasn't helping her at all.
"Sorry, go on." Seth apologized and listened to her.
"Okay, who do you want to come to our wedding? If we are going to have our wedding in April we have to send out the invitations about 3-4 months ahead of time."
Seth sighed bored. "Why do I have to do this? Can't you and Coop do this stuff?" He put his head in his hands.
"First, do not call Coop, Coop. And secondly, yes Cohen, you do. This is our wedding. OUR wedding." She repeated for good measure.
"Can we do this later then. I'm tired." He yawned and finally placed his head on the table. Summer rolled up the newspaper that was laying by his head and smacked him hard.
"Cohen. This is our wedding! How can you not want to be a part of the process? This is so exciting. In 7 months we are going to be married." She announced happily. He groaned and looked up at her.
"Please Cohen. Do this with me." Summer kissed him on his nose. "Or I'll kill you." She finished with a edge.
"Aww, just what a groom-to-be wants to hear." Seth grunted as he sat up in his chair.
"Okay Summer. What do you want me to do?"
Summer smiled excitedly. "GOOD! Okay, first we need to make a list of everyone that we will be inviting. You start with like your family and stuff." She chimed happily.
"Summer. There isn't that many people if you think of it. I don't have any cousins or uncles or anything. All there is is Aunt Hailey and I'm not even sure she will be around." Seth observed.
"We have Sandy, Kirsten, Marissa, Ryan, Julie, Caleb, Caitlin, the two new ones." Summer paused. "There isn't that many people." She frowned.
"You forgot Hailey." Seth piped in.
"Hailey hated me." Summer admitted.
"I wish the Nana was still alive. Then we would have another one." Seth explained as he searched through his brain for more family members.
"Are you going to invite your dad?" He asked her.
"No." She whispered. "He told me he didn't want to be in my life so I'm not going to let him."
"How about Diane?" He looked up at her.
"I think it would be weird to invite her when she's not even my family and then not let my dad come. I think it's for the best if she didn't come." Summed sighed and rested her head in his shoulder.
"We could always invite Dr Muffin." He suggested, a small smile on his face.

"Kirsten! Why in the world did you not find out if you were having a girl or a boy! It would have been much easier!" Julie inquired like it was the best idea in the world.
"Because I want it to be a surprise Julie. Just because you know doesn't mean, I have to know mine." Kirsten advised, as she was sipping a glass of fresh OJ.
"It's way easier. I bet if you call your doctor you can set up an appointment to find out." Julie informed casually.
"Julie, I already have my appointment. It's my due date. I am going to find out when I have it." Kirsten was getting a little annoyed by Julie's attitude about the whole baby gender issue. She stood up and set her cup in the sink. "I'm going to go swimming for a while." She announced and walked out of the room.
"You're going to get all flaky!" Julie called behind her.
Kirsten stepped out of the room shaking her head. She went into her bathroom to grab her maternity bathing suit and sighed as she saw the toilet paper rack. There were tons and tons of tissue everywhere- strewn into the toilet and into the bathtub. It was a mess.
"SETH!" She called loudly. He had been watching TV in the living room with Kayleigh who was exploring on the floor.
Kirsten heard footsteps and Seth with Kayleigh in his arms came into where his mother was.
"OH." He said. "Kali. What did you do." Seth looked at her and smiled. "Sorry mom. I'll clean it up."
"Thanks." She gave him a hug in which he groaned and Kirsten left to change in the other bathroom.
"Hey Kirsten, do you know where Cohen disappeared to? A moment ago he was watching Power Rangers and then he wasn't." Summer had small bags under her eyes and she looked tried. Kirsten had heard Kayleigh crying during the middle of the night but she figured it hadn't lasted all night.
"He's in my bathroom. Kayleigh found gold." Kirsten laughed as Summer realized what she meant. "Did you get any sleep last night?"
"Enough. I was doing stuff for the house and the wedding. I was pretty tuckered out before but I just took a little cat nap. How's little unnamed baby doing? Has it been keeping you awake at night?" Summer yawned and stretched.
"Yeah. It was awful. I can't wait to get this little one out so I can give you a name." She patted her stomach and smiled. "I never expected to have another little one."
"I'm glad you are so happy." Summer hugged her. "I have to find my own little baby."
Summer had turned into the responsible one. Kirsten was astonished. When she first found out Summer was pregnant, Kirsten kind of guessed that Summer would hand over the baby to her when she was too tired to care for it. But she never did that; not once. Summer had always woken up in the middle of the night to fed or change her baby; she never complained or regretted getting pregnant. That was a true parent.
Summer started to walk off towards Kirsten's room to find Seth, but she stopped her.
"Summer, I know I probably don't say this a lot but I'm really proud of you." Kirsten smiled and Summer joined in.
"Thanks Mom."

Seth, Summer, Kayleigh and Kirsten were all relaxing in the big pool in the backyard laughing at Kayleigh's antics.
"Cohen, be careful." Summer cautioned as Seth held her baby above the water. "Don't let any water into her nose."
"Summer, what do you think I'm going to do? Drop her?" He smiled at her but she didn't smile back.
"Very funny. Not." Summer shook her head at him. "Was Sandy this way with Cohen?" She asked his mother. There had to be a reason for this kind of abnormalsy.
"Yeah. Pretty much." She laughed. "Boy are we in for another roller-coaster."
"Kiki!" Julie's panicked voice filtered in from the living room. "KIKI!" She shouted.
"We're out here Julie." Kirsten called.
"Oh my god. I think I'm having it. A baby.." Julie came out on the patio holding her stomach like it would drop if she let go.
"Admitting it is the first step." Seth informed and Julie glared angrily at him.

"Happy special day." Summer smiled as she kissed her husband awake. He groaned and turned on his back; Summer took the opportunity to climb up on him and lay on his stomach. She held out a small pink cupcake with one lighted candle.
"Good morning to you too." He smiled back at her as she started kissing him.
She scooted onto him more and he moaned in her mouth. Summer let her lips meander down to his neck and to his ears.
"Why don't I get woken up like this everyday." He breathed hard as she let her tongue travel down his chest.
"You know why." Summer smiled and went back to nibbling his body.
"I do?" He asked puzzled. He had no clue why.
Summer put her head up and looked at him; he knew didn't he?
"Do you really not know what this day is?" She questioned frowning.
"My Birthday?" He guessed. Summer sat up and put her robe on, upset.
"When you realize what happened on April 21, come talk to me." She huffed and walked out of their bedroom.

"Mommy! I'm hungry!" Kayleigh cried to her mother. Summer wasn't in a very good mood this morning and she hadn't thought of making breakfast yet.
"What do you want, pumpkin?" She asked, her voice flat.
"I want toast and eggs." Kayleigh admitted. "What's wrong? Are you not feeling very good?"
"I'm fine sweetie. I'll make your food so go watch tv or something. K?"
Kayleigh nodded and ran to the sofa.
Seth came down the stairs and stood behind his wife.
"Figure out what it is now?" Summer scowled, shaking his arms off of her.
"Give me a hint?" He asked.
She tensed and walked away from him. "How about NO." She hollered.
Kayleigh ran into the kitchen. "Are you guys having a fight?" She asked, amused.
"Kali, go watch TV." Seth said calmly. She did, sighing.
"I give up. What happened that was so important?"
"Nothing." Summer announced, walking out of the room. "Kali, Daddy is going to make you breakfast." She called, stepping up the stairs to her room.

Summer laid on her bed reading her book for a couple hours. She couldn't believe Cohen. He just forgot their anniversary and he wanted hints? God, he was so stupid.
Summer sighed as she turned to the last page of her book. She hated this book. It was about two 60-year-old people who finally found true love for the first time in their lives. GAG.
There was a knock on the door and Summer didn't say anything.
"Summer?" The door opened and Summer cursed herself for not locking the door.
"My mom just called and said something happened to my dad. We have to go over to the hospital right now." He said panicked.
Summer got up and threw on some clothes.
"Is Kayleigh dressed?" She asked him. She loved Sandy so much.
"Yeah." They both ran down the stairs and into the car with Kayleigh right behind.
"Oh my God. I hope he's okay. What did Kirsten say happened?" Summer questioned frantically.
"I don't know. Something about his heart." Seth was driving really bad, cutting cars and speeding.
"Cohen do you want me to drive?"
"No. I'm fine." He said. Summer forgot she was mad at him during all this chaos.
He turned on the exit to the beach. "Where are we going?"
"Shortcut." He answered. Kayleigh looked frightened in the backseat.
They rode into the sand by the beach and Summer looked absolutely confused.
"Cohen. The last time I checked the hospital isn't here." Summer asked him. He smiled and Kayleigh began laughing.
"Happy Anniversary Summer." He kissed her and they rode into the sand where a whole party was set up for them with all of The Cohen's, and Cooper/Nichols waiting for them.
"I love you Summer." He laughed as she realized he had done everything on purpose.
"Cohen, I just think I might love you more." She shook her head laughing as they all got out of the car for a party on the beach.
TBC.
