Here's chaper 4. I was really bored with nothing to do today, so I watched the series finale and followed it by season 2 while writing this.

CHAPTER FOUR: The New Neighbors

Kirsten was in the kitchen putting the dishes away when she heard a knock at the door. "Hello?" she answered the door, Met by two adults and a young child.

"Hi there, I'm Jeff Schmidt; this is my wife Rowan, and my son Ethan. We live next door and haven't stopped by to greet ourselves yet."

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Kirsten Cohen. My husband Sandy is getting our daughter Sophie up from her nap."

"How old is she?" Rowan asked.

"She's eight weeks," Kirsten replied, "Would you like to come in?"

"That would be great." Jeff answered.

After Kirsten let them in and made sure that they were comfortable in the living room, she went into the kitchen to make coffee. Sandy came out of the nursery with Sophie in tow.

"Hello."

"Hi, you must be Sandy. I'm Jeff; this is my wife Rowan, and our two year old son Ethan. We're the neighbors." Sandy reached over to shake their hands.

Kirsten returned from the kitchen with coffee, "I see you all met," she handed out the mugs and juice for Ethan. Sandy got Sophie situated in her lounger. And the two of them sat on the loveseat.

"So how long have you two lived here?" Kirsten asked.

"About 9 years. We moved her after we got married from Duluth, Minnesota. How about you guys, where did you move here from?"

"We actually met here at UC Berkeley, lived here for about two years before moving down to Newport Beach, and we just moved back." Sandy replied as he gave Sophie her pacifier.

"I bet it's good to be back."

"Yeah, it feels like we're finally home."

Rowan became curious, "Is Sophie your only child?"

"No, we have two sons. Our son Seth is at Rhode Island School of Design and Ryan is at UC Berkeley," Sandy refilled his coffee, "What about you guys?"

'Yeah Ethan is it for us. It took us years to get pregnant." Jeff looked over at Ethan playing with his cars on the carpet.

They continued to get to know each other for an hour when Rowan stood up. "I didn't realize it had gotten so late. We should probably get going. We have to go to Jeff's parent's house for dinner."

"Well thank you for stopping by. We'll have to do this again sometime soon." They all stood up to say their good byes. Sandy and Kirsten saw them out.

Sandy was in the kitchen washing out the mugs and placing them in the dishwasher, when Kirsten came up behind him and laced her arms around his waist while putting her chin on his shoulder.

"The new neighbors seem nice. Maybe this is your shot at a guy friend." Kirsten said.

"That would be cool. Hey, maybe he surfs."

"Ooh, now that would be perfect for you. I was thinking that tomorrow we could take Sophie down to the beach. Maybe get some corn dogs from that vendor on the strip."

"That sounds like a great idea." Sandy said as he turned around to kiss her.

"Is Sophie asleep?"

"I just put her down."

'So we have some time to ourselves until she wakes up for a feeding?" he hinted suggestively.

"What should we do with the time?"

"Oh, I have a few ideas." Sandy said while kissing her neck and walking into the bedroom.

The next day they found themselves down at the beach eating corn dogs and sharing a smoothie.

"How do you think little Princess Sophia would take to the water?" Sandy asked as they sat down on a bench.

"I'm not sure. But I do know that she loves getting a bath."

"Well let's find out. I'm going to take her down there real quick. Let her dangle her feet in."

As Sandy walked down the sand with Sophie in his arms he heard Kirsten shout, "Be careful."

She watched as Sandy kept a tight hold on his little girl as he put her in the water just enough for her ankles to get wet. Sophie splashed the water with her feet giggling loudly. Sandy stayed down with her for about ten minutes before making his way back up the beach to his waiting wife.

"I think she's finally my shot at a surfer." Sandy sat down after handing his daughter to Kirsten.

"Well lucky her." Kirsten answered sarcastically. Half of the Cohen clan curled up on the bench by the ocean and watched as the sun set into the water.
