A/N: It took me kind of long to update. But well I'm sick so now I have plenty of time. Too bad I have to go to school tomorrow. Enjoy!

Sandy walked out of the house towards the car. He needed some space so was planning on going to the beach. His son was having a baby, at the age of 18. That couldn't be right. Especially not if your son is called Seth Cohen. On the other hand he knew things would be alright, Seth was a grown up. He would take full responsibility. But again it didn't feel right, Kirsten and himself were also young when they had Seth but they were both graduated from college and living together. Seth and Summer weren't even going to college, first there was two semesters of high school in front of them, and after that college.

He sat a while down in the sand and thought. About Seth and Summer but even about himself. He didn't act the way a father should act. He was already regretting his words to Seth and Summer. But he couldn't take them back, all there was left to do was apologize. He went back home and met Kirsten in the kitchen preparing dinner.

"So you're home, where have you been?"

"The beach, look I'm sorry ok. Where are Seth and Summer?"

"Upstairs, Seth is trying to prevent Summer getting an abortion. You scared her pretty much you know; she said she'd never seen you like that"

"Oh God, I need to talk to them"

"Is that a good idea? Are you calmed down, because I think they can't handle you getting mad again"

Sandy knew this very well, he walked up the stairs and stopped in the hallway. He listened by Seth's door. Summer was crying and he was trying to comfort her. Witch wasn't working by the sound of Summers sobs. It was now or never…

Knock, Knock….

"Can I come in? I need to talk"

Seth came out of the room and shut the door behind him.

"Dad? Why would you want to talk to us? Another round of screaming and blaming? Look I can handle it but Summer is not ok. You don't have the right to do this to her"

"I know son, and that's why I want to talk. No more blaming, lets just talk ok. Maybe your mom wants to join us also. I freaked out and I'm sorry. Can we do that?"

"I don't know let me ask Summer"

"I do want to talk Seth"

He jumped, didn't notice Summer standing behind the door listening what they were saying.

"Ok, let's go to the living room then, I will get your mother."

Half an hour later they were still talking, none of them were mad any more. They just had a good talk about things. Kirsten brought up the other options such thing as adoption or abortion. But this wasn't an option they all agreed eventually. They were going to keep the baby, no doubt about it. They were going to finish high school and after that they could wait a year before going to college. This way they could spent some time with the baby and decide what they wanted.

At this moment Ryan walked into the house. "Hi, when is dinner ready?"

"First of all Kirsten was making it when I came in the kitchen and second there got some things between it, so I think it's time we get the take out menu's out of the case"

"So you guys know?"

"Yep bro, come on, join the family. It's now called the Cohen's after the household, The Cohen-Atwood family after you, the Cohen-Atwood-Cooper family after you and Marissa and last but not least the Cohen-Roberts family after myself, summer and a little small question mark. How does that sound?"

"I'm not sure Seth, maybe you have to stop making such thing as this lists"

"No, I will need to make a list in some time again"

Everybody shot him a strange glance. Nobody knew where he was talking about, actually that wasn't strange.

"You guys don't get the hint huh?... I have to make a list of names for this little boy or girl" While he said that he went to kiss Summer and gently put a hand on her still flat stomach.

"Come on guys, let's just eat a dinner as a normal family." Sandy spoke up.

Everybody knew it wasn't possible. The Cohen family never was just a normal family. But right for now everyone believed it. Because in this little moment life was as perfect as it could get. And they kind of knew it wouldn't last long. It never did.

With the talk they had, they all decided Summer should go to a doctor. Just for a check-up, then they would know how far along she was and when the baby should be born. So here they were in those hard plastic chairs. Scanning the room looking at everybody who came in and those who go out. Reading the magazines from last year and watching an old soap play on the television in the corner. Summer was getting nervous; those home pregnancy tests weren't 100 percent sure. What if she wasn't pregnant at all? Then all the drama would be for nothing. Seth saw her getting inpatient and did exactly what she needed. An arm around her shoulder.

"It's going to be ok, we have nothing to worry about ok"

"Summer Roberts….. Will you please follow me?"

The next thing she knew she was laying on an examination bed. Her blood pressure had been recorded, and was normal. And now there was a cold gel on her stomach and some weird black and white forms were seen on the monitor of the ultrasound machine. The doc told them everything was normal and that she was about a month along. So the baby's due date was in august. The 19th of august to be exactly. In the middle of summer. Right now all they could think about was each other and their perfectly healthy little baby inside of Summer.

Ryan was getting ready for his daily run at the beach. It was eleven 'o clock, most of the time he was way earlier than this but it got late last night with the Seth-Ryan time. He grabbed his running shoes and sat on the bed to get them on. When he heard the sound of his cell phone he looked at the caller ID. Marissa.

"Hi there"

"Hi, uhh I wanted to come over, is that ok with you?"

"I just wanted to go to the beach you know, take a run"

"Oh, uh. Can I come?"

"Well, sure but I want to do my run ok."

"You think I can't hold up to you huh? Well you'll see"

"Haha, you got a bet."

"Ok, I'll be there soon. Bye."

"Bye"

He kind of knew he wasn't getting his normal run. This one would be a bit different. A bit slower and defiantly shorter. Holding up with me… Right…

As soon as they were on the beach they started the exercise. First Marissa thought it was easy running with Ryan. But she had second thoughts when he began with his actual run; witch was a little faster than the rhythm she could take.

"Ry, wait for me"

"Come on, this is nothing"

"My God, you do this every day?"

"Yup"

"No wonder you have a great body"

This time he stopped.

"What did you say" Ryan knew very well he wasn't bad looking but always liked to hear it from her mouth.

"Oh you heard me Atwood" She started to run again so he had to follow her. And he did exactly what she expected. But one thing was different, she was in front. And he kept walking behind her… strange.

"Why are you walking behind me, I'm I going to fast?"

"You wish: I'm just enjoying the view." He teased.

They continued running some time and then headed back to the pool house. Luckily for them it was December and it wasn't that hot. Although Ryan wanted to cool down… He picked her up and walked to the pool, jumping in with Marissa in his arms.

"RYAN!! You're unbelievable. I don't have extra clothes to wear!"

"I also like you without clothes on you know"

"I'm sure you do, but if I'm getting naked you will to"

"Is that an offer?"

"Oh god, boys only think about sex isn't it?"

"That's not the only thing, we also think about cars, comics and playstation"

"Ah, sorry I forgot about those, but if you don't mind I'm gonna get a shower" She loved the way they were joking around. And she also knew Ryan was dying to take a shower with her.

She walked to the pool house and into the bathroom; she had thrown her wet clothes away and was standing there all naked. She heard Ryan knock on the door asking if he could come in.

"Only if you're naked too"

"I can't take my clothes off over here, what if Sandy walks in, or even worse Seth"

That was true; she opened the door and let him in. They took a shower together, actually they didn't shower that much. They were just using the shower as an excuse. After they were done Ryan got dressed in a jeans and shirt. Since Marissa didn't have any dry clothes he gave her one of his boxers and also a shirt.

When they walked into the kitchen the whole family was present. Including a very active Seth rambling about the baby. It was their family. Their perfectly normal family.

A/N: You see, Sandy wasn't that bad. But I have a question for you. How would summers father react? Will he be angry, supportive… You name it. Other suggestions are also very welcome!! You know where the button is…
