Our New Journey Together
Chapter 3-
(A/N - This chapter take place the next night)
"Just remember, what ever our parents think, everything is going to turn out okay. It doesn't matter what they say. It's not about them, it's about us. Okay?" Seth said reassuring Summer, as they were moments away from telling Sandy and Kirsten.
"Yeah. I mean, it would help if they supported us, but it's about us, not them."
"Okay, are you ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be."
Seth gave her a small smile and took her hand in his.
"Oh hey, Seth. You never told us about your trip to Vegas. How was it?" Sandy questioned Seth, not noticing Summer.
"Um, it was fine." Seth answered, Summer walking in behind him.
"Oh, hi Summer. How are you?" Kirsten asked.
"Fine."
Seth kept glancing at Summer, trying to see when the right time would be to tell Sandy and Kirsten. Summer gave him a reassuring nod.
"Is everything alright?"
"Well, actually we need to talk to both of you."
"Is everything okay? Are you guys alright? Is anybody hurt?" Kirsten asked nervous.
"Yeah, yeah. Everybody is fine, nobody is hurt."
"Well, then what is it? You had us worried?"
"Well, Mr.C," Summer didn't know what to begin with. The engagement or the pregnancy. Well, before she could decide, Seth jumped in.
"Dad, me and Summer are engaged." Maybe that would bring smiles, and then when they told them that Summer was pregnant, it wouldn't seem so bad. Well at least that's what Seth and Summer were hoping for.
"You're engaged?"
"Mhm." Summer nodded her head, afraid of their reactions.
"Well, that's great!" Kirsten said smiling, getting up to give Summer a hug. "Welcome to the family." She whispered into her ear.
"You're not mad?" Seth asked.
"Mad?," Sandy responded, "Why would we be mad? Sure you're young, but you are never too young to find love." He finished saying, getting up and hugging Summer as well. 'Maybe this won't be so bad after all.' Seth thought to himself.
"Well, don't get too happy. There's something else we would like to tell you."
They both sat down and asked Seth to go on.
"Well, you might be disappointed in us, well you probably will, but we're taking full responsibility. And everything is going to be fine." Seth started rambling on.
"Seth, what is it?" Kirsten asked, irritated.
"Well," He started, but Summer cut him off. After all, it was fair, Seth delivered the first part of the news. Summer should deliver the next half. Sure, the first half was happy and this part may not bring all those smiles, but still.
"I'm pregnant." She just went straight out and said it.
Sandy and Kirsten were both shocked and speechless.
"Happy speechless? Or mad speechless?" Seth asked interrupting the silence.
"Shocked speechless." Sandy finally spoke.
"Look," Kirsten began, "We aren't mad. We just think you two should've been more responsible. But I just want you guys to understand we definitely are not mad."
"No, definitely not," Sandy added in, "And I want you guys to know, this will not be easy. It will get rough at times. And remember, now you have college on hold."
"We know."
"Even though it will get difficult, we will always be here to help you guys."
"Thanks."
"Well, I guess congratulations are in order."
'Wow, that wasn't hard at all.' Seth and Summer both thought.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"See, that wasn't so hard" Seth said to Summer as they were both sitting on his bed.
"Nope." Seth could tell she was worried about something.
"Then what's wrong? You can tell me. I mean, now that we're going to be husband and wife you have to tell me everything." He said, rubbing her arm.
"It's just . . . My dad. I'm not sure how he will react about all of this. I mean I know it doesn't matter what he thinks but, I don't know."
"Why don't you call him?"
"I guess I should. I'll be right back." She said, talking out her cell phone, walking out of his room.
A few minutes later Summer came back into the room to find Seth reading a comic book.
"He wants to talk to you." Summer whispered, pointing to the phone.
"Oh, this should be fun." He replied sarcastically as Summer smacked him across the chest.
"Hello."
"Seth?"
"Hi Dr. Roberts."
"Please call me Neil, you're going to be part of the family."
"About that, I was going to ask permission to propose to Summer but..."
"Seth, it's fine. I just wanted you to know that I'm okay with you and Summer now. You make my daughter a very happy girl."
"And she makes me happy."
"Please take good care of her, okay? I won't be back for a while and things are going to be getting difficult, so just make sure she's okay."
"Of course."
"Well, I guess I should say congratulations. I will be expecting an invitation in the mail for the wedding, and a call telling me if I will be having a granddaughter or a grandson."
"Yes, Dr. Robe-, I mean Neil." Seth was very confused as to why everything was going so smoothly.
"Okay, well I will be keeping contact with you too. Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
"So?" Summer asked, curious to see what her dad and Seth were talking about.
"Well, let's just say me and your dad had a breakthrough moment."
"So everything is good between you two?"
"Yup."
"Good. Cohen, can you drive me home?"
"Sure. You know, soon, we're going to have to find a place of our own."
"I know. We have time though."
"Hey, are you sure you don't want to stay the night?"
"Yeah, thanks. But, I have to go home to Pancakes."
"You're choosing a rabbit over me? I'm very jealous." Seth asked pretending to be hurt.
"Ew, Cohen that's sort of gross. I mean, Pancakes is like my son."
"Well then I forgive you."
"Thank you. And you know, Pancakes is your son now too."
"So now we're gonna have two kids."
"Yup. Oh no, I hope Pancakes doesn't get jealous." Summer said joking around.
"I'm sure he won't."
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"So," Summer said as they were in the Range Rover, driving to Summer's house, "Everything worked out perfectly today. Like everything was fine. Nobody got mad."
"Yeah I know. I was shocked, especially about your dad."
"Hey! My dad is nice!" Summer said defensively.
"Haha, funny joke."
"I wasn't joking." Summer pretended to be mad.
"Sorry." He finally said. She smiled.
"It's almost like everything is too perfect."
"I know what you mean." He said, looking into her eyes, taking his eyes off the road.
"Oh my god! Cohen, Watch out!" She said noticing a car coming straight towards them.
Unfortunately, Summer said that a second too late. And that little second will make a huge impact.
