Leave Right Now Chapter 1, a 7th heaven fanfic

One shot. Song Leave Right Now- Will Young. Read and review! This is based just before "Baby Makes Three" the episode Sandy gives Birth to Aaron.

She sat alone on the Park bench she would come to whenever life seemed a little too much. The wind was throwing her hair in every direction, the chill giving her cheeks a rosy glow. In a matter of days things were going to change- forever. She hated change, over the past six months, her life altered drastically. There seemed more lows then there were highs. Sandy was due any day now; she would become a mother, of Martin Brewer's child. In the young Camden's eyes Sandy was to blame for everything that went wrong in her life the past 6 months.

She vividly relived the day Martin had told her he got a college girl pregnant, a single tear rolled down her cheek .that was the day her whole life just crashed around her. She had finally let Martin know her true feelings towards him, yet instead of returning the favour or even letting her down gently, she was told that in little over six months he would become a father, plus to rub the salt into the wound even more that whilst she was blissfully unaware, her whole family knew.

At first she was a wreck, every night it would be the same routine; eat homework and cry herself to sleep. She tried to put on a strong face during the day, to hide her pain and insecurities, everyone noticed though, even Mac, who lets face it, isn't the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree. Everyone except Martin himself, he blamed it on hormones, after all what 17 year old guy really knows what goes on in a teenage girls mind beside shopping, make-up and boys. As time progressed the tears began to fade, and the once happy Ruthie returned. She and Martin would talk, but effectively their friendship was ruined, she still loved him, but she didn't deserve the pain of being close to him, but not as close as she wanted.

She began to recreate all their memories in her head, the good and the bad, when she was suddenly brought back to reality with the ringing of her cell.

"Hello?"

"It's time." An anxious yet excited voice replied

"Martin?"

"Ruthie, she's having the baby!"

Ruthie became silence, she took a deep breath

"Ruthie you still there?"

"Err Yeah."

"Can you please come to the hospital; I really could do with a friend right now."

"Can't you call Mac?"

"Ruthie, please you're the only one who can make everything seem alright."

Ruthie didn't want to make this situation seem alright, it wasn't 'alright', and it was so far from it. Yet she couldn't resist the voice of a pleading Martin.

"I'm on my way."

She bit her bottom lip and inhaled deeply as she pushed open the double doors leading into the ward Sandy was on, to see a distraught 17 year old pacing the corridors.

I'm here, just like I said
Though it's breaking every rule I've ever made
My racing heart, is just the same;
Why make it strong to break it once again?

He looked up to see her there with a fake smile plastered on her face; she just stood there, frozen to the spot. As the reality of it all finally hit her.

And I'd love to say "I do";
Give everything to you
But I could never now be true

So I say...
I think I better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now

She hoped that maybe Martin hadn't actually realised she was there, that maybe she could make a quick escape, then call him to say that she cant make it, but before she knew it he was walking towards her opened arms, she accepted his embrace, for that moment that they shared she felt safe, all her worries disappeared, then he had to speak up and ruin it

I'm here, so please explain
Why you're opening up a healing wound again
I'm a little more careful, perhaps it shows
But if I lose the highs at least I'm spared the lows
Now I tremble in your arms
What could be the harm?
To feel my spirit calm?

"I'm becoming a dad Ruthie, I'm going to have a kid!."

"Yeah…Yeah you are aren't you?"

The door creaked open of the delivery room, as a nurse came out, with one of those cheesy grins across her face,that come with the job.

"Mr Brewer?"

"That's me" he said whilst turning around to face her.

"Congratulations, you have a baby boy!"

And that's was it. 'The change begun. Martin was a proud father to a boy, I guess this is a silent goodbye, he'll be too wrapped up with her and then baby that he wont have any time for me' she thought

I wouldn't know how to say
How good it feels seeing you today
I see you've got your smile back
Like you say - you're right on track
But you may never know why
Once bitten, twice as shy
If I'm proud, perhaps I should explain
I couldn't bear to loose you again

She watched Martin's face light up, she wasn't happy for him, how could she be? She wanted to give him his first child; she wanted a future with him, to grow old and grey with him. But that will always just remain a dream.

"Can I go see them?"

"Of course Mr Brewer"

"Ruthie c'mon." he extended his hand towards her.

"This is yours and Sandy's moment"

The pain was evident in her eyes, even so much so that even he had noticed; she was now trying her best to fight back the tears.I think I better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
somebody better show me how
before I fall any deeper...

"I think I better leave" right now.

It's not amazing; it was just an idea that wouldn't budge out of my head. I wouldn't mind carrying this on if you wanted me to but please review
