That evening, Ryan returned home to find Marissa watching The Notebook, and Krista laying asleep on her lap. "Hey," he said as he gave Marissa a kiss, and then placed a kiss on Krista's head. "How was your day?" she asked. Ryan debating on telling her about Tyler. "It was… good," he replied. "I see. Well I've decided on a name," Marissa told him. Ryan felt a fuzzy feeling inside talking about his unborn child. "Autumn. I want to name her after Summer," she said. "Her?" Ryan gave a puzzled look. Marissa smiled. "Summer will kill me if she finds out we were talking about boys names. She's positive that it's going to be a girl. She made it very clear," Marissa informed him. Ryan laughed. That was why Summer was one of his best friends. "Well, I think Autumn sounds perfect," he said. Marissa put her head on his shoulder. Things were finally piecing together again.
The next day, while Ryan was at work, Marissa was looking in the newspaper for jobs. Ryan had told her she didn't need a job, but she told him she wanted to work, better that than being home all day. Ryan had immediately said it was fine, but he wasn't prepared to let her work when she was pregnant, but it didn't hurt to look at what's available. After finding nothing that really caught her eye, she decided to clean. She was going to organize the shoes, when she suddenly found an envelope next to the door, that looked like it had been slipped under, that was addressed to her. She opened it and read, 'It's not over'
The letter had been bugging her all day. She was scared out of her mind that it may have been from Volchok, and cleaning wasn't distracting her. She was relieved when Ryan and Krista came home that afternoon. Marissa was sitting at the table with letter in her hand. She had a scared look on her face that didn't go unnoticed by Ryan. "Krista, why don't you go upstairs until Mommy's finished making dinner," Ryan said. The little girl nodded and happily skipped up the stairs. "Babe, what's wrong?" Ryan asked. Marissa didn't want to tell Ryan about the letter, because she knew what would happen. He'd assume it was Volchok and all of his anger from what he did to her before would come back to him. But she was scared. Before she could say anything, Ryan took the letter from her hands. "That son of a bitch is dead," he swore. Without a second thought, he left the apartment.
It was one a.m. and Ryan wasn't back yet. She was going to have a panic attack, so she called Summer. "Coop? What's up?" Summer asked as soon as she picked up the phone. Marissa heard how breathless she was and heard her mumble 'Cohen hold on,' "Am I interrupting something?" she asked. "No of coarse not," Summer said shoving Seth off of her. "What's up?" Marissa recalled the afternoon and explained it all to Summer. "Awww honey. Ryan is a lot stronger than Volchok, and you know he's only doing it to protect you and Krista. But, Boy is Atwood dumb! Making a pregnant woman worry like that," Summer explained. Marissa then heard the door open. "Oh thank God," She said. "Sum, thanks for listening. He's back now. Oh and I'm sorry for interrupting," she said as she hung up the phone, giving Seth and Summer a chance to finish what they started.
"Oh thank God, Ryan!" Marissa exclaimed as she jumped into Ryan's arms. She started crying and Ryan just stroked her hair. "You scared me," she said into his shoulder. Ryan sighed, "I'm sorry," he said. Marissa pulled away, wanting to look at his face. He had a black eye, which made her look down at his knuckles. They were bloody. "Ryan, what did you do to him?" she asked. "Honestly, Marissa," he said almost sadly, "I don't know,"
Dun dun duhhhh! IM still no good at describing sex scenes, and the 'leaving Seth and Summer to finish what they started' was to hint that they were having sex… The next chapter will be about SS mainly And after that, The drama begins! There will be fighting, jealousy, and someone is coming back! Hint it's not Volchok
