Reception Time
( The Epilogue )
Martin breathed in deeply as he coasted his car to the side of the road, parking it behind a blue mustang. He didn't want to go into the reception, but it was after all his only son. He still remembered the event of the wedding, and his thoughts.
Martin entered the church, his only son, only flesh in blood was getting married today. He had met the girl once and believed her name was Savannah Kinkirk, the last name sounded so familiar but he shrugged it off. He was a tad bit late, but nonetheless there.
"MARTIN?!" He heard the scream of a very familiar voice. There, stood Ruthie Camden, staring straight at him. His son and Savannah, stood there looking at him too, and Savannah looked panicked. Chaos struck the church as the whole Camden family stared at him, some shooting him death glares, some in awe, and some looking panicked.
He expected Lucy and Kevin to state that Savannah couldn't marry Aaron, but after Savannah shot her mother a look, Lucy continued with the wedding. He looked at Savannah, my she had grown into a very pretty and caring young lady. But his eyes stopped on her stomach, Aaron had gotten her pregnant?
Wow, he thought, Aaron was lucky to still be alive, knowing Kevin. But he could help but feel someone staring at him, and as he looked over, he caught Ruthie staring straight at him, actually it was more of a death glare. And then his promises came back.

Flashback #2
The night he left for baseball camp, he stood with Ruthie under the moonlight. After weeks of work, they had finally worked things out, well most of it. He had realized that he loved her, not Sandy, Sandy was just the mother of his son, and Sandy was happy with other men, so why couldn't he be happy with Ruthie?
He looked down at her, and smiled. She was so beautiful. He finally, after moments of staring at her, leaned down and kissed her.
She looked up at him after their kiss had been broken up with the need for air. Her eyes pleaded with him, and then her mouth. "Martin, please don't leave." She said, tears starting to fall.
He held her tight and looked down at her, " I have to leave babe. But I promise you, I will come back. I'll come back for you, and I'll marry you, and we'll have children together. Every time your sad, remember this promise."
Ruthie nodded weakly, not able to say anything, as she cuddled up against him.

Martin shook his head, trying to shake the memories out of his mind. Let's not ruin this day, I have to be good, for Aaron and Savannah, he thought to himself.
"Hi Mr. Brewer!" Savannah greeted cheerfully.
"Your married to my son now, Savannah, and pregnant with my grandchild, please call me dad." Martin said hugging his daughter-in-law.
"Okay dad." Savannah smiled before going off to talk to other people. He glanced around the room, seeing a lot of people from Savannah's age down that she didn't know and figured they must be Savannah's siblings and cousins. But a particular brunette caught his eye.
He didn't know what he was doing. But he soon found himself standing in front of Ruthie Camden, or maybe she was married, he actually didn't know. "Um, hi Ruthie?" He didn't exactly know what to say.
"Martin." She nodded, her voice cold.
"Look, I'm sorry." He said. "I got tied up so much with baseball. I had to give my son a living. Pay his mom child support. And eventually send him to college. I didn't have time to date. I didn't have time for me. Ruthie, Aaron is my son, and after meeting him I had to take full responsibility for him, no matter how much I loved you. You were my best friend, the girl I was, and am in love with. I l…"
Ruthie cut him off. Her voice ice cold now. "You shouldn't have slept with some random girl Martin! You came back and used your mind tricks on me. It was pry all pity because you heard how bad I was. Well I didn't need you and I still don't. I love Aaron, he's now my step-nephew, but I hate you. There will never be an us! So go screw some other chick cause Martin Brewer I don't care." And with that Ruthie stormed off.
"Martin! Don't!" Simon said staring at Martin Brewer. "Don't talk to my sister! You messed with her head, and broke her heart twice. If I catch you talking to her EVER again, I will personally make sure that you take a visit to the hospital."
And with that, Simon stormed off. Martin felt a twinge of sadness. He knew that he could never be with Ruthie cause if he and Ruthie got together, that would be like Savannah dating her cousin. But couldn't he at least gain a friendship with her?
He was broke from his thoughts as he heard his son and daughter-in-law ask for everybody's attention.
"Okay, we know that you all want to know the gender of the baby or at least the names…" Savannah started.
"So we decided that we would tell you…" Aaron added.
"That we are having a little girl…" Savannah added.
"AWWWW!" Everybody shouted.
"And a little boy…" Aaron added.
"Twins?" Everyone shouted and then congratulations went around.
"The little girl's name is going to be Abigail Jennifer Lucy…Abigail after Aaron's grandmother (I don't know her real name) that died and Jennifer after my great-grandma that died. And Lucy after my mom." Savannah said.
"And the little boy's name is going to be Jacob Kevin Martin…Jacob after Martin's great grandfather (made that up), Kevin after Savannah's dad, and Martin after Aaron's dad.
Martin sighed. In just four months he would be the grandfather of Abigail Jennifer Lucy Brewer and Jacob Kevin Martin Brewer. And he would never have the love life that he wanted with Ruthie Camden. Heck, he wouldn't even have her friendship then.

There you go. An Epilogue, I know it wasn't good but it was something. I'm think about maybe making a sequel about Savannah and Aaron's married life with their children, but not sure yet. If I do it won't be for a while, not until after I finish 'Forever is a Statement'. I also have another story in the workings. So it may not be until after I get the other story started.
So it pretty much all depends on how busy I am. I can guarantee that it won't be out until at least February if I do it. So just wait and see, I'll post something in here if I do decide to do it to let you know. Now go and press the pretty button and leave me a review telling me what you thought of the story.
