Ryan kissed Summer.

"So you and Coop, how did it go?" Summer asked laying light kisses on his chest.

"We talked, we kissed, and we went to sleep." Ryan replied.

"I already know her details; tell me how you are feeling about it." Summer said allowing her hand to trail down his body.

"I can't wait to see her again, I love her." Ryan confessed.

"Really?!" Summer said happily just as her cell phone went off. She jumped up to get it, Ryan watched her naked body run to the phone.

"Hello?" Summer answered.

"Really, ok I'm leaving now." Summer said and started putting her clothes on.

"Ok I'll see you soon." Summer said and hung up the phone.

"So that was Cohen, we're having dinner with his parents, his grandfather and Julie, Jimmy and Hailey and Coop!" Summer informed.

Ryan nodded, "When can we do this again?" Ryan asked.

"In 2 weeks? Same place, same time?" Summer replied.

Ryan smiled and stood up and looked into the washroom, "The showers still on!"

Summer laughed, "I guess you got a little distracted did you?"

Ryan nodded, "So are you going to tell Seth you saw me?"

"Well yeah! I'm taking full credit for getting Romeo and Juliet back together." Summer replied.

"We're not back together." Ryan stated.

"But you will be, you're going to go home and tell Theresa why you haven't been giving her total dedication to the relationship and you will be banging on Marissa's door before you know it." Summer said.

"What about Brett?" Ryan reminded.

"Lots of kids grow up in broken homes Ryan, I was, Coop is. He's probably better off cause you'll get an education and a good job and you'll be able to support him better." Summer said, "Anyways I've got to go, think about it ok?"

Summer left, but not before one last kiss and Ryan shut the door and turned off the shower.

His cell phone started ringing, "Hello?"

"Are you coming home?" Theresa asked.

"I'm leaving now Theresa." Ryan said and hung the phone up.

When he arrived home he walked through the door and Theresa was on the couch feeding Brett.

"Hey." Ryan slightly smiled.

"My mom offered to baby-sit tonight so we can go out." Theresa informed.

Ryan nodded in acceptance, "I'm going to change."

Theresa nodded, a few minutes later Ryan returned to the room. Ryan's cell went off; Theresa picked it up and looked at Ryan. Ryan felt a lump in his throat.

"It's the Cohen's, here." Theresa passes the phone to Ryan.

"Hello?" Ryan answered.

"Ryan, its Sandy. How are you?" Sandy asked.

"Sandy hi. Good, yourself?" Ryan replied.

"Good, I'm calling to see if you, Brett and Theresa would like to join us tonight. We're having a family dinner and it wouldn't be complete without you." Sandy asked.

"We'd love to Sandy but today isn't the best time." Ryan replied.

"Are you sure because we'd all love to see you and Brett." Sandy said.

"I don't think so but how about I talk it over with Theresa and I'll get back to you in a few minutes?" Ryan asked.

"Sure think." Sandy replied and hung up.

"What was that about?" Theresa asked.

"They're having a family dinner tonight and they wanted us to go." Ryan replied.

"And you don't want to go?" Theresa asked.

"No, I'd like to go its just I don't think it's a good idea. Everyone's going to be there. Marissa and her family and I think it'll be uncomfortable for you and them." Ryan said sincerely not trying to sound rude.

"Why don't you go, take Brett cause I'm sure the Cohen's would love to see him and we can go out another time." Theresa offered.

"You can come to if you want." Ryan said.

"No you're right, I'll make everyone uncomfortable and I'll definitely be uncomfortable." Theresa said.

"I'll stay home to." Ryan offered.

"No, you go. Have fun and remember to come home." Theresa said, "I haven't been away from my boy for longer than a couple hours since he's been born."

Ryan nodded and about an hour later Brett and Ryan were driving to Newport. They arrived around 2:30; Kirsten and Sandy were home and excited to see them.

"Where's Seth?" Ryan asked.

"He's out with Summer, they're supposed to pick Marissa up and be back here by 3." Kirsten replied.

Just then Seth came into the house with summer and Marissa. Ryan and the Cohen's heard Seth tell them to go upstairs and he'd be right up. Seth entered the kitchen.

"Ryan OMG, what are you doing here?" Seth asked, "Where's Theresa?"

"I'm here for dinner. Theresa decided to stay home, she wasn't up to coming." Ryan replied.

"Summer told me she ran into you last night and that you and Marissa maybe getting back together." Seth said.

"I thought that you and Theresa were…" Sandy said.

"We are but things aren't, you know." Ryan replied, "I don't know what's happening."

"Ryan, Marissa's upstairs. Come on she'll be so happy to see you." Seth said dragging Ryan.

"I'll watch Brett for you. Go be a 17 year old again." Kirsten said.

Ryan smiled and followed Seth upstairs. Half way up the stairs Ryan's cell phone rang, he stopped to answer it.

"Hello?" Ryan answered.

"Hey." Marissa said.

"Marissa, hi." Ryan laughed.

"What's so funny?" Marissa asked.

"Where are you?" Ryan asked.

"At the Cohen's, in Seth's room." Marissa replied.

"Do me a favour and go out into the hall to talk to me." Ryan asked.

Marissa was confused but obeyed his request. Ryan was waiting for her when she came out into the hall, a huge smile wiped over her face and she threw her arms around him.
