'Thank you for coming with me'
Summer smiles up at Seth. 'Wouldn't miss it for the world'.
With that the door opened and there stood the Nana. 'Sethela, Summer, come in, come in'
After the welcoming hugs and kisses, and of course a little pinch of the cheek, Seth and Summer got settled into their bedroom. They were only going to be spending the night, but Summer wanted to unpack and organize her clothes.
"Seth, unpack your clothes"
"but why" Seth whined, laying back on the bed "we're only going to be here for one night"
"Fine, Whatever" Summer huffed.
After about a minute of silence Seth spoke up. "So what are you wearing to supper tonight"
"I don't know Seth, nothing fits anymore" Summer yelled, sliding the hangers in the closet across with a bang.
"Woah okay, um I'm sure you have something that will look amazing on you…."
"You don't get it, you're not the one with the changing body and hormones" Summer yelled out in sobs. As Seth moved to hug her Summer stepped back. "Just leave me alone" she said before storming into the adjoining bathroom.
To say supper was awkward would have been an understatement in the eyes of Sophie Cohen. She knew something was wrong. Seth was sitting there quiet, that was the first giveaway. And Summer, as good as an actress she could be, she couldn't fool her.
"So kids, how is Brown treating you. I hear it is a very prestigious school"
"It's very beautiful, Mrs Cohen"
"It's so big Nana, and there's actually Ivy on the walls you could probably climb, but I wouldn't try it unless your spiderman or some other kind of hero as such…." Seth rambled on, until he relised the strange looks he was receiving.
"Well I'm sure you both will love it there" Sophie replied. " So I hear that you get to move into a house off campus next week" she questioned, trying to keep the conversation going.
"Yes we are, Mrs Cohen"
"Please call me Nana, Summer, you are practically family now"
"Okay Nana" Summer replied, getting slightly teary. Damn hormones she thought.
"Can we please talk" Seth said, closing the bedroom door behind him
"I don't want to talk, just leave me alone okay"
Seth moved forward to reach out to Summer, but once again she moved backwards. "Don't touch me, you made me this way". With that she turned and walked towards the bathroom.
The words "you made me this way" repeated in Seth's head. Did Summer not want to be pregnant with his child? Did she blame him? He felt like shit, he was angry. It wasn't just his fault. "You know what Summer, Whatever" he yelled, slamming the door behind him.
"Um hey Nana" Seth tried to cover
"Sethela" the Nana answered, giving him a questioning look
"Oh its nothing Nana, just a little game we like to play….you know the uh…."
"Sethula"
"Okay so Summer's mad at me, and I got a little angry too" Seth said, sitting down on the couch.
"What happened"
"I don't know. One minute she's fine and happy and the next it's like she hates my guts" he said, putting his face in his hands. "I don't know what to do"
"You have to be there for her during this time Seth. Pregnancy isn't an easy thing" Sophie lectured.
"I know and I try…..WAIT. hold up. How do you know" Seth asked, the panic on his face clear. "Oh god Summer is going to kill me"
"Sethela, it's obvious, the appetite, mood swings, hormones…..plus I caught a few of the words she yelled at you in there" Sophie said pointing towards the closed door. "It's not hard to piece it all together" she laughed
"No No No No No, this can't be happening. Oh god, you haven't told Mom and Dad have you?"
"No dear, your secret is safe, but I warn you, you have to tell them sooner or later, and the sooner the better" Sophie said. "they'll be happy for you two"
"I know, Summer just doesn't want to just yet"
"Just be patient, treat her well, because this is twice as hard on her." Sophie tried to expain. "Now go back in there and try to fix it….and it can be out little secret that I know okay"
"Okay thanks Nana" Seth said, standing up and giving her a hug.
When Seth re-entered the bedroom, everything was quiet, Summer was curled up on the side of the bed, still awake.
"Summer" Seth started
"Just leave me alone Seth, how many times do I have to say it" Summer interrupted with a sniffle.
"No" Seth began, going to sit on the bed. "You have to tell me what your feeling okay, because like it or not, we're in this together, and I love you so much I don't want to see you upset"
Summer rolled over to face Seth. "You're so cheesy" she smiled.
"So what's wrong?" he asked, pulling her into a hug
Summer took a deep breath. "This just isn't how I saw my life, it isn't what I had planned" she began.
"Do you not want this pregnancy" Seth asked, his voice slightly quivering
"Of course I want it Seth, it just scares me" she began, snuggling closer into Seth. "I just didn't expect it to happen so soon. I mean we're just out of high school, starting college and I'm pregnant. I just always had the plan of finishing college, and getting a career first before all of this"
"It scares me too, but we'll get through this, I promise" Seth told her. "and I promise we'll go shopping tomorrow and get you a whole new wardrobe"
"You know the way to my heart" Summer laughed. "Come to bed" she said, laying back down.
"With you, whatever you say Summer"
"Seth" Summer warned
"What, we all know you want this body my little honey pot"
"Do you want to sleep on the floor tonight?"
"Right, got it, love you too Sum" Seth said, getting in bed a placing a kiss on her temple. "Love you little one"
"Night Cohen, love you"
"yes we're back to Cohen…I kinda missed it" Seth whispered pulling Summer closer.
