My spin on what should happen with the whole Martin/Sandy thing. I have no affiliation or anything to do with the show and what is written here was thought up by myself. I disclaim.

Never Can Say Goodbye
Chapter 1: Are you serious?
"Are you serious" said Ruthie
"What do you mean, Am i serious" said Martin
"I mean you seriously aren't going to see your baby?"
"Yeah, I am seriously not going to go"
"But why not"
"Ruthie, I don't know if I can tell you this"
"Martin. You know that you can tell me anything"
"But you may be too young to hear this"
"Too young! I have dealt with more than my own share of drama and my family's and I have managed to come out unscathed. In fact, I am more mature than you are. You better spill it now"
"Look I,.."
"You uhhhh"
"This is really hard for me to say though"
"Why it's not like your telling your girlfriend. Im just a girl who happens to be your friend"
"It has something to do with that and I am afraid about the other part of it"
"Well maybe if I knew what the heck you were talking about I could help you"
"Alright, I will tell you everything"
"Thank You"
"Let me start by saying that i never expected this to happen"
"Expected what to happen?"
"Ruthie, I feel like things have changed"
"Things like what?"
"You and I"
"I didn't know there was one"
"That's what I mean"
"You are confusing me beyond a doubt here"
"I want there to be an "us". I like you more than as the youngest girl in the Camden family. I really like you and that's why I don't want to tell you the whole truth about why I don't want to see the baby."
"Martin, You know that I have always liked you and that I have been trying to get you to notice me for the past year. What is it that you think would change how I feel"
"The baby isn't mine"
"Why would that change anything for me"
"The baby's father is someone else you know and your close"
"I am gonna live to regret this, who is it"
Ruthie waited and prayed that it wasn't anyone she was really close to.
"The baby belongs to Sandy and Simon"
"Simon?"
"Im sorry"
"But Simon never slept with Sandy"
"He did once. He told me about it--i think he said that he and Rose were broken up at the time"
"Rose and Simon broke up for a little while--some dreams do come true"
Martin laughs for a minute
"Alright, Simon's the dad. But why are you saying that it's yours"
"Simon asked me as a favor to pretend that the baby was mine. He said it would be just long enough so that he could straighten things out with Sandy and find a way to either explain to Rose or get rid of her"
"I would prefer the latter"
"I think the entire family would"
"Alright. I can handle this."
"You can?"
"Yes, So what do you want to do now"
"What can I do?"
"I should have phrased that better. Do you think Simon is ready to take the responsibility that is his?"
"I don't know"
"Guess what"
"What"
"He's going to be ready because if you don't tell everyone then I will"
"I was wrong about you not being grown up"
"Told you"
"I should have listened"
"Alright, So are you doing it or am I"
"I think and don't shoot me--that you should do it. I think you are better at explaining than I am"
"Wow the things I do for you and I am not even your girlfriend"
"Would you like to go out with me?"
"Are you serious?"
