"Marissa, can you get Ottilie from school today?" Ryan asked her as she sat in their room applying some make up she had in her bag. She thought about her days plan, it would be a while before her test shoots were ready, and then she had to go and get her things from Jake's with Summer, and with Jake there it would be a mission of its own.

"Um, my test shoot is a 3, and I have to go get my things,"

"To bring back here" Ryan told her happily

"Yes to bring back here" She said her eyes rolling.

"I could have her at the test I suppose, if she finishes at 2, I could drop by and then take her with me, but they usually carry on well into the night." Marissa explained to him as he watched her move happily.

"Ok, if that's alright with you," Ryan said moving in to kiss her, Marissa returned it just as hungrily as she felt him stroke small circles on her stomach

"Baby Atwood will be here by May time," Marissa whispered to him, as he looked up at her amazed by her words.

"Or March time, if it is anything like their sister" They both smiled happily at each other, knowing how complicated Ottilie was when she was born.

"When are we going to tell people?"

"Leave it a little while yet, just our little secret" Marissa placed her hand on top of Ryan's and looked down between them

"Oh and Summer knows, but I told her before I told you, but she wont say anything" Ryan nodded to her, still amazed in stroking her stomach,

"You know there is no evidence there yet, I mean, I still have to model in my underwear tomorrow night" Ryan's face changed quickly, showing his unconscious discomfort for Marissa to be prancing around in hardly any clothes.

"Oh come on Ry, its not like I haven't done it before, and you have seen me in much less" Marissa said going to kiss him again, but instead getting his cheek.

"Yeh well I'm not the only person who is seeing it" He replied grumpily

"Tell me you are not jealous?" Marissa asked with an arched eyebrow.

"Ryan, its my job, I have strutted around and done this since we broke up, its how I make money, its why I am famous"

"I know, its just, I don't want anyone pawing over you or staring as you get changed, and I don't want you to hurt yourself, you have precious cargo in there Marissa"

"Ryan, as much as I appreciate the concern, I do love my job, and I promise I wont hurt either of us, and as for the staring part, my contracts specify my own room, and the dressers I'm usually given are most likely gay" Marissa stared at her, this time raising his own eyebrows.

"Most likely?" He joked, Marissa smiled at him.

"Well I suppose you could always fill in the job, you could be my personal dresser" Marissa asked him, kissing him when she wasn't speaking.

"I would rather be your personal undresser, but if we carry that on, I am going to be late, and although my job isn't as glamorous as parading around in my underwear, they still want me to be there on time." He kissed her one final time, and then they separated, so he could get Ottilie.

"Come on Ottilie its time to go baby" Ryan called to her as she come happily skipping out of her room with her school uniform and shiny shoes.

"Will you be here when I got home?" Ottilie asked her Mom hopefully. Marissa nodded and then lifted her up to say goodbye.

"I am picking you up from school today, so look out for me there sweetie" She kissed her and handed her over to Ryan who was balancing her and his briefcase, before leaning in to kiss Marissa goodbye. She lightly pecked him on the lips, knowing if she let it get further, Ottilie would want therapy, and then she stood at the elevator door, saying goodbye before their day began.

"Bye Mommy!" Ottilie exclaimed quickly as the doors closed. Marissa smiled in happiness, she hadn't been this happy in what felt like a lifetime.

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" She was startled by a little noise coming from her step sister, standing by the stair well door. She rubbed her large stomach happily for the smaller family.

"God Sum, you scared me" Marissa catechised with a happy smile still planted on her face, she motioned for them to both go in Ryan's apartment, no, their apartment , Summer watched Marissa move happily around Ryan's kitchen and she raised an eyebrow, even after years apart, and the things they had missed out on in each others lives, they could still read each others minds.

"Stop looking at me funny Summer" Marissa chirped

"Something's happened, hasn't it Coop, see what you forgot is how I could always read your mind"

"I'm moving in!!!!!!!!!!" Marissa told her excitedly,

"Oh my god" Summer told her in surprise

"This is so great, you get to be here all the time!!!!!" Marissa nodded happily as they hugged before she went to go get her bag and things so they could make their way.

"There's going to be loads of press outside isn't there?" Marissa asked her nervously

"Yeah, but you wont have to see them, my car is parked in the basement. So where to first?" Summer asked her excitedly

"Well, I have to go pick my things up from Jake's and then I have test shoot, but I was wondering if you wanted to come with me, I get my own private room at these things, and all the celery sticks I can eat? Gift bags? Can I tempt you?" Marissa said hoping to persuade her. Really she needed Summer there more than she would like to admit, the models were hopelessly bitchy, and Marissa had only a few friends in the industry, they would spend the night gossiping and bitching about each other, and Marissa knew this time she was in the port of call.

"A test shoot? That's so exciting, of course I will come, who's it for?" Summer asked excitedly

"Only Victoria's Secret, I'm the fresh face of-" Marissa carried on like it was what she had bought at the supermarket, not a hugely exciting thing.

"Marissa Cooper! that's amazing, although I may have to sit front row," Summer told her, they both smile and Summer carried on

"So how are you feeling with the other thing?" Summer asked her cautiously, whilst holding her own stomach, Marissa caught on and thought Summer deserved the truth, from the hospital she hadn't even told Summer who the father was.

"Yeah, all's good, I have felt a little nauseous, but It comes and goes as I am sure you know."

"Marissa, I don't mean to pry, but who is the father?" Summer asked her cautiously

"I feel terrible about this, because we both cheated on someone we were with, but on the other hand, I'm not sorry, because it bought us together after a while of being apart and if I hadn't seen him then, then --" Summer's eyes widened as Marissa continued

"Oh my god, you and Ryan are having a baby?" Summer asked her excitedly, Marissa nodded as tears sprung to her eyes, happily, both of the girls hugged each other.

"Oh Marissa, congratulations! Does he know?" Marissa nodded happily when Summer threw herself into her arm again.

"I am so happy you have both worked everything out"

"I just know it will be so different this time" She told her best friend reassuringly, Marissa smiled appreciatively and began to get her things.

"And we are so baby shopping" Summer told her as they walked out the door.

When they arrived at Jake's mansion, she shuddered in scared memory, thinking this was tv place she had been before she had found Ottilie. Her car was still on the drive, and the window was still rolled down slightly.

She knew Jake was out, from her own schedule from the movie they both shared a role in. As much as she loved Ryan and he wanted her to stay away from Jake, so much of her life was intertwined with his, and she was worried whether or not Ryan would be able to handle the ditching that Jake would undoubtedly do to the paparazzi.

"Its ok Marissa, you know the maid has packed up your things, all you have to do is get in a get out." Summer told her reassuringly, Marissa nodded and exited the car, the both of them walking up the drive. Once they were in the house, they were right, the maid had left Marissa all of her things at the bottom of the stairs with a letter from Jake. Summer looked cautiously at Marissa, as she icked up the named envelope and read it.

Marissa

I know you think I'm harmless, but I guarantee your little escapades will be made public.

I hope your aware of what your letting yourself in for, and if it all goes the wrong way with the baby daddy, you can come find me,

I mean you weren't that bad in bed.

Jake.

Summer read the letter of Marissa's shoulder, and put a comforting hand on her best friends arm.

"Are you ok Coop?" It was obvious she was a bit shook up, the last 4 years of her life she had spent with a man who she thought she loved, at least a little, and now he is willing to ruin hers.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Marissa said sure of herself, Jake was a time passer, Ryan was the real thing. They started to wheel things to Summer's car and load them in, ready for her to move properly in with Ryan. When a few paparazzi photographed them from the gate. It was now media official, there is no more Marissa and Jake.

"MARISSA, MARISSA? ARE YOU AND JAKE OVER?"

"MARISSA MARISSA, LEAVING SO SOON?"

"OVER HERE PLEASE MISS COOPER" Marissa continued to ignore them, carrying on loading things into Summer's car, Summer was shocked, at how normal she acted at something so annoying bothering her on a daily basis.

"Are you ready Coop?" Summer asked when she finished, she nodded and Summer started the car, having to wait along time for the paparazzi to move out of their way. Both of the girls put their sunglasses over their eyes and the sun mirrors pulled down, but you just couldn't hide from the frantic clicking of their cameras and the flashes. Summer began to honk the horn, and they slowly started to part. All the while Marissa looking down. When they began to drive again, Summer broke their silence.

"Are they always that bad?" Summer asked her cautiously, Marissa nodded

"Do you think I am doing the wrong thing, you know, pushing Ottilie and Ryan into the spotlight like that? Do you think we can handle it?" Marissa asked unsure of herself

"Marissa, Atwood would run through fire if it meant having you at the end" Summer told her truthfully

"Besides, once the media circus dies down, you wont have to deal with it, that crazy everyday" Marissa nodded and they remained in silence for a while longer, only disturbed by Marissa's phone. Marissa glanced at the number, answering it when she saw her agents name flash across the screen.

"Well it is good to finally hear from you"

"Hi Bridge, is everything still on for Victoria's secret tomorrow?""Yes, and I was also calling to remind you of your prior commitments to fashion week you made, way before you even moved to Los Angeles."

"Um, refresh my memory?" Marissa asked her politely, trying to recall any contracts she had signed, possibly in a vodka induced haze that was her New York life.

"How does, one week in London, then onto one week in Paris, then One week in Milan and then some promos back in New York? Don't you remember, we spoke about the non stop travel, and you asked for a private jet, well it took me a while but-"

"Did I sign to all of them?" Marissa asked warily, hoping that there was someway she could get out of her commitments.

"Yes unfortunately, you did, Marissa I know you are getting used to the motherhood thing, god knows why, but these contracts are iron clad, you did know this from the beginning, I will call you again tomorrow to discuss final details, you're a professional supermodel Marissa, one of the best out there, you need start acting like it again" . Bridget remarked.

Marissa hung up the phone, and a few tears started to fall down her cheeks, why is it when everything is good again, someone has to rattle things for 's felt like she was going to be sick, she had only just gotten Ryan back, and she wasn't sure how he would cope, letting her go round the world, things were finally right between them, and she had to shake it up.
