I am so sorry. I know that this took way too long and I had planned for this part to be up a long time ago. But things didn't really work out.

I want to thank you all for reviewing before I'll let you read on. So, thanks!

A Heart's Desire

My little Summer

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Several weeks later...

"Cohen!"

Seth put the pillow over his head and tried to ignore the sound that had woken him up. He made himself comfortable again and tried to fall back asleep.

"Cohen!" Man, Summer had a loud voice. What was she doing? What did she need him for at...5 am?

"Cohen!" Summer yelled a bit louder this time, causing Seth to slowly sit up. There was just no way he could sleep when she was shouting on the top of her lungs. Seth tiredly rubbed his eyes as he sat up with his legs outside of the bed. Why couldn't she let him sleep?

He walked out of the bedroom and almost fell flat on his stomach as he stepped on Summer's shoes, thrown carelessly on the floor.

"Cohen," Summer said in a lot calmer voice as he appeared in the living room where she sat on the sofa with the TV on.

"What is it, Sum?" Seth asked, trying hard not to sound too annoyed.

Summer gave him a smile. "I could really use some company." she said as if it was reason enough to wake him up. "And something to eat." she carefully added, looking at him with those big brown eyes. She knew that she had him tied around her finger.

"That's it?" She nodded.

Seth sighed but didn't let her see, knowing that he would experience one of her rage blackouts if he complained. "Okay. What do you want?"

"Something sweet." Summer said and looked incredibly cute. She had that power over Seth. Once she showed her pretty face or gave him that smile, he just couldn't say no. It was impossible. Even at five o'clock in the morning.

Seth placed a lingering kiss on her temple and smiled as he saw the satisfied look on her face. "I'll be right back, cutie." Summer smiled and sat back down in the cushions, flicking through the channels.

A few minutes later Seth was standing in the doorway. He was watching Summer as she sat indian style keeping her gaze focused on her lap, not the TV. She placed her hands over her stomach and smiled.

Her stomach had grown and it only grew faster. She wasn't that big though. Madlen had told her that she was pretty small for her state. But that was perfectly normal and more usual with the first baby and with small women. And Summer didn't actually have a problem with it, she had gained enough weight according to herself.

"So, why are you up this early?" Seth asked as he flopped down on the sofa next to her, giving Summer her sweets.

She shrugged and cuddled closer to his body, ignoring the TV. "I'm just not sleepy."

"You have a very funny sleeping schedule." Seth said while watching her eat, just happy that she was happy.

"Sorry that I woke you up," Summer suddenly said and turned her face to look up at Seth.

"It's okay. I wouldn't want you to be up by ourself. I'm not tired ayway." That wasn't a lie; he wasn't tired anymore. Just like every morning when he got up the sleepiness disappeared once he stepped out of the bedroom. "And besides, it's good practise. Once the baby will arrive we won't get much sleep."

Summer thought about it and nodded. "I guess you're right. So there's at least one good thing with pregnant me and-"

"And?" Seth asked as she had stopped in the middle of a sentense. She didn't answer though but took his hand and placed it on top of her stomach together with hers. "What? Did the baby kick?" Seth searched his wife's smiling face and she nodded.

"The baby kicked, Seth." she happily told him, concentrating on their hands.

Seth disappointedly spoke. "I can't feel it."

"Put your hand here." Summer said and removed her own hand to let Seth place his where she'd felt the baby. "It's just a tiny little movement." she explained and watched her husband as he excitedly waited to feel their baby. After a few seconds his face lightened up and he smiled. "Did you feel it?"

Seth nodded and bent down placing a light kiss on the place where he'd felt the baby move. "She's in there. Healthy and perfect," he said and sat up again.

"Thank god," Summer whispered as Seth brought his hand up to her cheek. He knew that she still felt terrible about that time on his birthday.

"Hey," he said and caressed her soft skin with his hand. "She is healthy."

Summer smiled and took Seth's hand in hers, leaning against his chest. "You really believe that it's a girl, don't you?" Seth nodded and combed her shiny dark hair with his fingers. "We should start thinking about names. We keep calling him or her 'the baby'."

Seth nodded, still combing her hair. "What do you have in mind?"

"I like many names and it's so hard to pick one. Should we have a name beginning with s? And we can't have a name on c because then the intials will be 'cc' and that's no fun." Summer rambled.

"I don't think we should pick name on s because then if we have more kids we have to have more s names." Seth said, adding some of his wiseness.

"That's true. So, no s names and no c names." Summer summed it up. "But I like Christopher and Sarah." she whined. Naming a baby was not easy.

Seth nodded and pecked her on the cheek. "And I like Cameron and Casandra. But we can't have those names."

"I know. What about r? Riley, Ruby, Rachel or we could name the baby after Ryan."

"No, it doesn't fit our baby. No r names either. But maybe an a? First letter in the alphabet." Seth suggested.

Summer seemed to think of the idea, frowning a little. "What names are there starting with a?"

"Lots. April; we could name her after a month. Or even better, after a season. Autumn. Summer and Autumn, isn't that cute?"

"No, that's weird. No seasons." Summer quickly said as to stop Seth from liking the idea too much. "But maybe Andrew or Alex." she suggested, wanting to add some names as well.

"Do you remember that I once had a girlfriend named Alex?" Seth pointed out, surprised that Summer had forgotten about Alex; the girlfriend he'd had when she was dating Zach and the girl who later had been dating Marissa.

"Yeah, right." Summer said, remembering that painful time. Even though she'd never admitted it to Seth, she'd been so jealous and so angry. She hated names startign with a. They only reminded her of Anna and Alex. "So, not Alex either. Maybe we shouldn't have any names starting with that letter."

"Okay." Seth slowly said, a little confused.

Quickly changing the subject Summer suggested a different way to come up with names. "Hey Cohen. Let's play a game."

"A game?"

"Yeah. We pick a name with each letter. First I pick one on a and then you pick one starting with b."

Seth seemed to accept the idea as he leaned back into the cushions, making himself comfortable. "Okay. What's the name on a then?"

"Amanda." Summer answered, wanting that letter to be over as soon as possible.

"So, your choice is Amanda. Then mine is Benjamin." Seth said, making sure that he understood their little game.

Summer nodded and continued with the letter they couldn't use. "Christopher."

"D. Dylan?"

"That's a great name. So cute. Evelyn."

"Faye."

"G. I don't know any names starting with g."

"Yeah you do." Seth said, trying to encourage her. Summer shook her head though.

"No, only ugly names."

"Am I allowed to help you?"

"Yes."

"What about Grace or Gracie." Seth suggested.

"Cohen. Who knew that you were this good with names? Little Gracie. That's so cute. Have you secretely thought about names without me?" Summer asked threatingly.

"Nope. Never without you my love. I guess I'm just a natural."

Summer giggled and placed a quick kiss on his nose. "Now, we must continue. It's your turn to pick a name."

"I don't like any names starting with h."

"Me neither. Only Haylie but we can't name our baby that. Maybe Hallie but that sounds too much like Haylie."

"Yeah. So no good names there. Moving on." And the game continued.

"Isaac."

"Jacob."

"Kimberly."

"Leah."

"Matthew."

"Nathan."

"Olivia."

"Paris."

"Q. Is there any names starting with q?" Summer asked confused.

"No, I don't think so."

"Then I take Romeo even if we can't have any r names."

"And even is we can't have any s names I say Shanelle."

"Tim or Tallulah."

"That's cute. And t is a good capital."

Summer agreed. "Yeah, but I liked your choices best. Dylan or Grace. Or Leah."

"Olivia is a pretty name. You know if we name her Olivia her intials would be 'oc'. That's pretty cool."

"Yeah but so not happening. Isaac and Jacob are cute names too. And I just thought about another name starting with j. Joseph."

"There are so many names. How are we ever gonna pick the right one?" Seth whined.

"Maybe we shouldn't think about it too much. I'm sure we'll find a good name."

Seth suddenly got the best idea ever. "You know, Summer. We could find out for sure if it's a boy or a girl. That would definitely help us out."

"Seth, you know that I want it to be a surprise." Summer told him. She wanted it to be a surprise. She wasn't like all other women who would die to know and then buy everything in pink if it was a girl and everything in blue if it was a boy. You could believe that that would be a thing Summer would do but to seth's surprise she'd told him that she didn't want to know the gendar.

Seth nodded. He knew but still tried to talk her into it. Things would get so much easier if they knew. "I know. But how are we gonna prepare a nursery if we don't know what it is. Pink or blue?"

"We can have it yellow or green. That works for both. I want a yellow nursery, a very light shape of yellow."

"What about clothes? Don't you want to buy our baby a lot of clothes?" seth asked stubbornly.

"I've already done that. You're not gonna win this, Seth."

"I'm not gonna win this." Seth repeated. He hadn't expected himself to win over Summer; he just never did.

"Nope." Summer said and hugged him as to give him some comfort. "We'll find out eventually. And besides, haven't you already decided that it's a girl?"

"I haven't decided. I can just feel it, you know? But it doesn't matter. It'll still be our baby."

Summer smiled and snuggled closer to Seth's body, placing her head just underneath his. She closed her eyes and lay her legs over Seth's.

"You sleepy?" Summer nodded and made Seth smile. "You want to go to bed?"

"No." she shortly answered.

"So, you want to sleep here?"

"Can't I?"

"Sure, but it'll be uncomfortable."

"It's comfortable."

"Well that is only because you're on top of me. I prefer the bed."

"Stay here. Please?" And again Seth couldn't possibly say no, same as the boy or girl thing; the best thing was to let Summer have it her way. That always made him happy and somehow don't care as much about what he wanted any more.

"Alright, but don't even think of waking me up if I fall asleep."

"I can make no promises."

Summer stood quietly by the door to the backyard. She was watching her husband as he was reading to their two children. Their son was four and sitting by Seth's legs using them as back support. He was the cutest boy Summer had ever seen with chocolate brown eyes and curly hair. Summer couldn't help but smile brighter as she saw how he was trying to tie his shoes while listening to Seth's reading.

In Seth's lap sat a little girl about one year old. She was dressed in the girliest dress and was holding a purple teddy bear in her arms. Never had Summer believed that hers and Seth's kids would be this beautiful. It amazed her every day; every time she watched them, how blessed she really was. Seth, River and Josephine were her everything.

Seth suddenly met Summer's eyes, taking a short pause from the book. His look told Summer to join them and even though she could have stayed in the doorway watching them she slowly walked over to her family.

"Mama!" River said with his childish voice and reached up his arms. Summer lifted him up and sat down next to Seth on the chair big enough for two persons. Smiling slightly at Josephine who was slurring in his lap Seth returned to reading the book.

Summer placed her head on Seth's shoulder, looking at her daughter over the book. This was like living in a dream.

That was it. A little weird chapter but I hope that it turned out okay.

Please review! I'd love to hear what you thought about the names!
