Next morning

Seth walked toward to the kitchen and heard Summer, Marissa and Emily were talking and laughing

Summer(look over): hey Seth, you are the last person got up late

Seth: Oh me? are you talking to me?

Summer slapped his arm and lent and kiss on his lips

Emily: ew gross mommy, look at them (pointing at Seth and Summer's kissing)

Marissa: well, dont look at them while they are kissing, its a bit rude to look at them like that

Emily: why are you not kissing my daddy anymore, mommy?

Marissa(speechless): well ,your daddy and I dont kissing anymore

Emily(questions): why?

Marissa: because we dont live together and I dont have to kiss him that doesnt mean we have to but

I can kiss on his cheek

Emily:but you can kiss my friend Kev,he likes you, mommy

Marissa: can you stop talking about him please, I want you to forget about him for a while, you are

here having a good time

Seth (heard): Emily, who is Kev?

Emily: my friend, I just met him at the park

Seth: you met him here at the park

Emily: No, I met him in New York park

Seth: Oh! what does he look like?

Emily: he looks like Ryan, he has blonde hair, strong body, blue eyes mmm pictures on his arms

Seth: what do you mean pictures on his arms?

Emily: he has a picture of...

Marissa interrupted them

Marissa: look, Emily can we please dont talk about Kev okay?

Emily: Fine, I wont talk about him anymore, I want to play outside

Marissa: good, you have to get changed into clothes first then you can play outside okay?

Emily: yay, thank you mommy (running upstairs to her room)

Seth turned to Marissa: you never told me about Kev?

Summer(jump in): No, she doesnt know who Kev is but its Emily's imaginary friend

Seth: Oh I see um imaginary friend? well I had a imaginary friend when I was a little boy, I talked to him

Marissa: really? how is your imaginary friend going away?

Seth: I grew older mmm(he's trying to remember what happened in the past) I stopped talk to him and he just disappear I guess

Summer: Marissa's worried about her, she never stop talking about Kev and she did talk to me about Kev at the park

saying how much she miss him and she kind of miss talking to him, she want to go back to New York to see Kev again.

Marissa: I dont know what to do with Emily, I was thinking of taking her to counselling when we get back,I think she probably miss

Cameron since we're separate I mean she has no father in the house.

Summer: maybe that's reason she miss is her daddy because she doesnt see him much now

Seth: daughter always need a daddy and mommy together everyday I mean she needs a man in the house

Marissa: your probably right

Marissa sighs

At the beach

Summer and Marissa lay down on the beach for sunbaking, and Marissa's watching her daughter's playing the sand

near the water

Seth and Ryan are playing in the water splashing each other and whisper each other and agreed, they're running

back to get Summer and Marissa and throw them into the water, Summer was furious with Seth and Marissa's

laughing at Ryan

Summer(angry): COHEN, what do you do that for? you know I dont like getting wet, thanks alot

Next night

Ryan picked Marissa up at Summer and Seth's place and went to diner for dinner

Marissa: wow, diner has changed a bit, I havent been here for three years and everything is different

Ryan: I know, it look much better than before, wanna to eat something?

Marissa(thinking):mmm I want a burger and chips just like old days

Ryan(laughs): yeah, I remember that I was throwing you some chips and you threw it back at me

Marissa(giggles): I'll never forget that, its a long time now, anyways so, what you been doing with yourself?

Ryan: I work with architecture firm with Kirsten at Newport Group and I like it but keep me busy, long hours what about you?

Marissa: I work at chemist at day time, Emily has been at childcare while I'm go to work, everything is so great

in New York but when I found out I'm pregnant with ummm(not wanting to let him know about Volchok's child)Cameron

then we had a daughter, now we are separated but still seeing each other for sake of Emily, but we are still good friends

Ryan: I can see that you are a good mother, you and Emily are very close and you both have same eyes, mouth and nose.

Marissa(smiles): Really? I thought some are from her daddy

Ryan: Marissa, you can tell me about Cameron, I dont mind your telling me

Marissa: huh, well I met Cameron at my work and he asked me out and then we fell in love and start dating then I got

pregnant (she knew she lied to him) and then we are very happy but after Emily was two we decided to call it quits

because we dont see each other much I mean I work at day time and Cameron go to work every nights shift, he come to

see Emily every two weeks and he said he sometimes wish that we are back together but we knew it's not going to happen again

Ryan: How does Emily feels about you and Cameron separated?

Marissa:well she was very upset and crying, she want us to be together forever but we've tried to explained her why but she still

miss her daddy but now she's getting more weird things about Kev I mean she's happy around with Kev than her daddy, when her daddy

is not there, she's happy talking about Kev

Ryan interrupted her

Ryan: Yeah, Emily told me about Kev, but do you know him?

Marissa:No, I dont think so because I have never seen him yet? I asked Emily to introduce us but she wont allowed do that

Ryan: why? she wont

Marissa: because she said Kev told her he doesnt like me talking about him, I think its my fault that Cameron and I had split up that

she needs a father in the house

Ryan: who else knew Kev?

Marissa: Seth,Summer, Cameron and me, but I told Cameron about it but he said its just that she's like talking to dolls

Ryan: do you think she made up the story?

Marissa: I dont know, I want to believe her but I dont I mean I havent see Kev inside my house yet

Ryan: its hard to say but just be careful if something's going to happen in real life

Marissa: you sounds like Summer, dont worry about us and we are going to be fine

After talking for hours, Ryan dropped Marissa home, he hugged her, saying good bye each other, he

watched her walks enters the Summer's house, he smiled at himself thinking she is not with Cameron anymore, he feels happy and wish

that Marissa is with him right now he thought to himself
