CH 2.
As Seth pulled into Summer's drive way, he noticed her car parked over to the side of the house. He knew her dad was away on a cruise with Julie, and Taylor was with Ryan, so she had to be home. He killed the engine and as quietly as possible entered the house and went up to her room.
Summer was still taking that long shower. As she got out, she dried her air with a towel as best she could, then wrapped another towel around her petite body. She walked from her bathroom into her adjoining bedroom to grab some clothes from her closet. She was too caught up thinking about what she was going to do, or to tell Seth, that she didn't notice him sitting on her bed, mouth slightly adjar, staring at her. Even after dating, on and off, for almost three years, Seth still couldn't believe how gorgeous Summer was, and that he, dork, nerd, emo geek or whatever you wanted to call him was with her, the Summer Roberts.
Summer was interrupted from her thoughts by a small cough behind her. She spun around, but relaxed when she relised it was just Seth.
'God Cohen, give a girl a heart attack, what are you doing here anyway?' Summer asked in a slightly annoyed tone. She knew she shouldn't have said it like that, and could see from his face he was a little taken back.
'Well you see' Seth replied, 'I really wanted to see my girlfriend, but for the last few days she's been avoiding me for god knows what reason, so I thought I'd be stealth and surprise her so she couldn't avoid me anymore'.
Summer felt guilty. She knew she had been avoiding Seth, but with the whole thinking she was pregnant, then until like half an hour ago, confirming her suspicions that she was indeed pregnant, she couldn't handle being around him. Summer, relising she was still only wearing a towel, grabbed some clothes and walked back into the bathroom, yelling back to Seth, 'Just let me get dressed, then we can talk'. As she closed the door, she faintly heard his reply of, 'aw, but I like that outfit', and a smile formed at the corners of her mouth.
The 'then we can talk' bit was the part that worried Seth. He nervously sat at the edge of her bed, waiting for her to re appear. It felt like forever, and thoughts were wildly running through his head, until he felt a small figure sit next to him.
'Hey' she said in a quiet voice, touching his arm.
'Look if you want to break up with me because you don't want to go to Providence cos it'll be way to cold and we all know you're a summer, sun, beach person, hence your name…….' Seth rambled on until he was interrupted by Summer's lips on his.
'I'm not breaking up with you Cohen, but we do need to talk'
Seth could sense the seriousness in her voice, so he kept quiet, encouraging her to continue.
Summer knew it was now or never. 'So I found out something today, and I'm not sure if it's good or bad news, you know. At first I was angry and a bit upset, but the more I think about it maybe it could be good, but then I got worried about how you would take the news. Cohen you know I love you' Summer rambled on.
'I love you too Sum, and you can tell me anything okay' Seth interrupted.
Summer felt herself starting to tear up. 'Impregnant' she said quickly, avoiding his gaze in the process.
It tool Seth a few seconds to process what Summer had said. She was pregnant, like with child, a baby………omg a baby…..my baby…. A baby Cohen. He was having a baby with Summer Roberts. As Summer slowly looked up at Seth and into his eyes, she noticed the shock, but then also the hint of happiness as a smile began to play onto his lips, and the urge to cry suddenly disappeared.
'There's a baby in there' he asked, touching her perfectly flat stomach, with a grin on his face.
Summer laughed a little at his grin, 'yes Cohen'.
'And you want to keep it right, cos I'll support whatever you decision is but….please can we keep it' Seth asked, like he was asking his mother for a puppy, rather than keeping a baby'
'Yes Cohen, I want to keep it, but what do you think'
All Seth could reply was 'I'm having a baby with Summer Roberts'
Summer laughed at his comment, 'Hey who said it was yours Cohen'
Even though Seth knew she was joking he feigned a look of hurt and sadness, that made Summer's smile even bigger.
'Hey' she said, clutching his chin between her forefinger and thumb, so she could look into his eyes. 'I'm having a baby with Seth Cohen', she replied, placing a short kiss on his lips.
'I have to tell Ryan, my parents, Taylor……omg' Seth said, jumping up from the bed.
'No Cohen' Summer responded, grabbing his wrist and pulling him back onto the bed. 'I don't want people to know, at least not yet okay. I mean don't get me wrong, I want to have a baby with you. I just don't want people to know yet, you know, maybe in a few months time or something okay'
'In a few months, we'll be in Providence, and it'll nearly be chrismukkah, Summer'
'I know, I know that Seth, but I can't tell them yet okay, please Seth, it's just a little while'
Seth couldn't say no to her. It was like she had this control over him where no wasn't an answer. He nodded, 'I promise, I won't tell anyone'
'Not even Ryan okay, Cohen'
'Not even Ryan' Seth repeated
'And don't try miming it either, or writing it down, cos I swear I'll kick your ass back to the west coast' she warned him
'Aw ya caught me out' Seth joked
'Cohen' she warned, hitting him in the arm.
'Ouch, god okay I promise, I promise, geez' Seth responded, grinning down at Summer. 'No one will know until your ready, I promise'
'Thankyou' Summer replied, leaning in to kiss Seth.
