The Summer of Kayleigh Cohen
Chapter 1
Seth slept next to Summer on the bed and he rolled over restlessly. He smiled at her sleeping figure; it had been 3 weeks since they had been in hospital and they had first met Kayleigh. A soft little whine-y cry came from the crib that rested in the corner and Seth quickly got up and walked over to it trying his best to stay quiet and not to wake Summer.
"Hi Kayleigh." He cooed softly, moving his hand over his daughter's face.
"We don't want to wake up mommy, do we? No we don't." He lifted her up and placed her in his arms and walked out of the pool house. Once he made it into the kitchen, he started humming a lullaby and rocking her.
"Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring
But if that diamond ring turns brass,
Daddy's gonna buy you a looking glass." He hummed softly and then the little baby shut her eyes and he kissed her forehead as she fell to sleep.
The light in the kitchen turned on and Seth turned to face his mother.
"Seth? Why are you up so early?" She yawned and walked towards her son.
"Kayleigh was restless and I didn't want her to bother Summer." Seth explained softly, so not to wake his daughter.
Kirsten nodded and he continued. "Summer's been exhausted lately and she finally got to sleep." Seth himself yawned. Seth had still been going to school and life had been hard. Since Summer was left to take care of Kayleigh during the day while he was off at school, she was ready to hand over their baby to Seth as soon as he got home. It proved even harder for Seth since usually when he got home he would relax and do homework later but now he helped with Kali and didn't have much time for school work and studying or just plain hanging out.. Parenthood was quite something.
Kirsten noted how tired Seth was. She noticed that every time she saw the two of them, Seth and Summer had huge bags under their eyes.
"Hey honey, how about I take my granddaughter and you get some rest?" His mother said smiling.
"That would be awesome. Thanks." His mother took the baby carefully and kissed his son on his forehead. He groaned and walked back to the pool house. He opened the door and quietly stepped in the room.
"Cohen?" Summer moaned into the dark surroundings.
"Yeah baby?" He crawled to the bed and laid next to her.
"What time is it?" She sat up and could barely see his figure in the dark.
"around 3." He responded.
"Oh." She started to get up out of bed.
"Where are you going?"
"Just checking on Kayleigh."
"She's not there. My mom has her." Seth said quickly so when she got to the crib she wouldn't freak out when she found the crib empty and her baby missing.
"Why?" She yawned and walked back to the bed.
"She was fussy so I took her to the kitchen so she wouldn't wake you and my mom was up and she wanted to spend some time with her."
"Oh ok." She replied softly and moved closer to Seth. "Cohen…" She purred into his ear.
"That's me" He said sarcastically, moving his hand down her leg slowly.
"Shhh." She said slowly, pressing a taunting kiss on his lips. He moaned until she pressed her tongue through and Seth rolled on top of her. He kissed her and then moved to her neck moving ever so slowly that Summer moaned in heated frustration.
"I want you." Summer begged as she began tearing off his t-shirt. His shirt and her pajama top fell off in a second and Summer was about to remove his boxers when they were interrupted.
"Seth, honey? Are you up?" They broke apart as Kirsten's voice filtered through the room.
Seth scrambled up, grabbed his shirt and walked over to his mother.
"Hi mom. What's up?" He threw his hand into his hand and pulled it through trying to look not embarrassed.
"Kayleigh's asleep and I was just going to put her down. I think she will sleep for a while. I just wanted to let you know. Okay, honey. Go back to bed and rest." She patted him on his arm and walked happily out of the pool house. As soon as she did, Summer exploded out laughing.
"Nice, Summer, nice." Seth returned walking back to the bed and laying down next to her and pulling the cover over his head. "I'm not talking about it."
Summer snorted.

The next morning Seth was crazily dashing around the room trying to find his shoes and his backpack.
"Summer! Where is it?" He checked under the bed for the 5th time and practically crawled under it.
"How would I know? I'm not your housekeeper. Did you try in the house?" Seth looked up at her and grinned.
"Eureka! Summer! I'd never knew I would use that word that much." Summer smiled at him and then went back to nursing Kayleigh in her rocking chair. He ran out of the room and came fumbling back in with his book bag and one shoe.
"I can't find the other one. It's not by this one." He threw his shoe on and checked under the bed again.
"Why don't you just wear another pair of shoes?" Summer asked quietly as he came up from under the bed and bumped his head on it.
"Eureka!" He went over to her and kissed her on her lips. "What would I ever do without you?"
"Survive?" She answered innocently.
"Your mommy's mean." He leaned down and kissed Kayleigh. "She always thinks she's so funny."
"Look who's talking." She replied sarcastically.
" Kayleigh would be so lucky to get my brilliant charm."
"Gag." She laughed. "Now someone has to get to school. Or they are going to be late for their US Government exam."
"Right. Remember I'm going to be home late today since I have to make-up that test in Chemistry since someone was in labor the day I had to take it."
She smugly smiled at him. "Have a good day at school."
"Have fun changing diapers and wiping up spit up!" He called out the door.

Sandy stood outside and knocked on the pool house door. The door opened up and Summer appeared.
"Hi Sandy. Can I help you with something?" She smiled and adjusted Kayleigh in her arms. "Look, Kali. There's your grandpa."
"Hi Summer. I just came here to see Kayleigh. I've been so busy these last two weeks with my case with David Jewels that I haven't hardly seen her."
"Oh well. Here she is."
"She's changed so much Summer. I can see the resemblance between you two." He touched the baby's hand softly.
"Yeah? That's what Cohen keeps telling me."
"But really Summer she does. She'll look just like you." Summer smiled at him and tried to imagine a little 6 year old girl dancing around that looked just like her.
"Mommy! I'm home!" A little girl with her chocolate brown hair in pig tails and in a blue and yellow sunflower dress raced in the door and dashed into the kitchen where Summer was making cookies.
"Hi Kayleigh. How was school?" The little 6 year old pranced over to her mom and gave her a big hug.
"It was so fun. There is this silly little boy who keeps pulling on my hair. He keeps chasing me around too."
"Really?" Summer's face lighted up. Already as a kindergartner, her daughter was being chased by boys.
"That means he likes you, honey." Kayleigh's face scrunched up and she stuck out her tongue.
"Eww!" An exact replica of Summer said.
"What's his name?"
"Charlie." She said quickly.
"Is he cute?"
"Boys have cooties." She answered. Summer smiled and leaned down to her level.
"Does daddy have cooties?"
"Daddy's not a boy." She answered matter-a-factly.
"He's not!" A voice came from the hall and Seth walked in. Kayleigh ran and gave him a huge hug.
"Daddy!"
"Are you guys making fun of me?" He asked joking.
"No." Kayleigh answered, giggling.
"I think you were." Seth grabbed her legs and pulled her over his shoulder so she was hanging like a sack of potatoes.. Kayleigh began giggling even harder.
"DADDY!" She laughed.
"What, angel?" He used his over hand to tickle her stomach.
"Let me down. That tickles!" She was laughing so hard and was having so much fun.
"Not until you say Duchess Giggles!"
"Duchess Giggles!"
He let her down softly and Kayleigh was back on her feet.
"I'm going to get you Daddy!" She went in for the tackle and she began tickling Seth.
He started to run into the family room.
"You can't catch me!" He joked and ran behind the couch.
"Boo!" She sneaked up to him and pouched on him.
"Mommy! Help me tickle him!" She laughed, her cute little dimples matching Seth's.
Summer smiled and joined Kayleigh.
