Chapter 7

It has been a three and a half weeks since Ruthie and Martin kissed. Aaron and Sandy had moved into the apartment over the garage and Simon was at his apartment packing getting ready for their move at the end of the month which was in just three days, Carlos and Mary were settling into their house and Matt and Sarah were staying with the Camden’s until they can move into their new home at the end of the month as while. All the pregnant women were glowing a waiting the arrival of their twins. Ruthie was spending all of her time with Martin. She had made her decision about Scotland.

Annie watch her youngest daughter walk to Martin’s house again.“ Ruthie sure is spending a lot with Martin’s lately” Annie noted to her husband as she sat at the kitchen table.

“You don’t think?” Eric asked suspiciously.

“No” Annie said, “I don’t think so” She said hesitating looking at her husband and then look out the window towards the Brewer house.

Ruthie knocked on the door at the Brewer house. Mr. Brewer answered the door. “Hi Ruthie”

“Hi Mr. Brewer” she said politely.

“Come on in I’ll get Martin, MARTIN” called just as Martin came around the corner “Oh there you are”

“You ready to go” Martin asked Ruthie. Ruthie nodded. “Alright see you later dad,” Martin said leading Ruthie out of the door. He wanted to hold hand but they hadn’t told their families that they were together.

Ruthie and Martin got into his car and drove off as both Mr. Brewer and Rev. and Mrs. Camden watched. When in the car and out of the sight of their families Martin took her hand in his as he drove.

“Martin what are we going to do about our parents, we have to do something I know that they are wondering what is going on” Ruthie asked after she and Martin took their sits at the restaurant.

“I think we should tell them,” He said.

“My parents are going to freak, they like you but you have had sex” she freaked.

“Yea but that doesn’t mean I’m going to have sex with you” he tried to calm her.

“You think they are going to care” Ruthie said.

“What? You don’t want to tell them” Martin accused.

“Yea, I do the sooner the better I’m just saying it is not going to be easy.”

“Yea, I know but well tell them tonight all together my dad and your parents”

“Ok, and I’ll tell them I’m not going to Scotland. I’ll just give them all the news at one time”

“Your not going” Martin said trying not to show his true happiness. He didn’t want her to feel like she can’t go. “I hope it is not because of me. You know I will support you I’ll be here when you come back”

“I know it’s not just because of you. I want to be here when my nieces and nephews are born. I don’t want to miss that, and because I want to be with you” She smiled.

“Are you sure?” Martin asked. He wanted her to be sure even though his internal joy was about to explode.

“Positive I can go to Scotland later I can only see my nieces and nephews born once. I can go some other time”

“Are absolutely sure?” He asked again holding in his smile.

“Yes, I am absolutely positively sure,” She laughed.

“Great! Because I really want you to stay, but I will support you either way, but I am so glad that you are staying.” He laughed

“Good” she smiled and lend across the table to kiss him.

After dinner they drove to the park. “What are we doing at the park?” Ruthie asked.

“I need to talk to you before we go back to talk to our parents” He said seriously turning in his seat to face her.

“What’s up?” she asked turning to face him.

“I know that I am not a virgin” he started slowly, “but I want you to know that I will NEVER make you do anything you don’t want to do.” Martin said sincerely.

“I know that Martin” she said surprised. She knew he would never force her into anything.

“No,” he insisted “I want you to really remember that. I respect you Ruthie. I love you.”

“What” she said shocked.

“I love you” Martin said again looking into her eyes “I do, I love you Ruthie”

“I love you too” she smiled and kissed him.

“So you ready to do this,” He asked turning the car back on.

“As long as you’re beside me, I’m ready to do anything” She smiled turn in her sit to face front, taking his hand, as Martin pulled off.
