Simon camden waited in the hotel lobby for Rutie , she had called and said that her and martin had just left the church and were coming to see Hope. Simon was worried about how she would take meeting her father. He had come to love his neice like his own. ruthie and hope had lived above simons garage in san Francisco since Hope came home from the hospital 9 years ago.
Simon watched Hope play with her Aunt Dasiy . Daisy and Him had not been able to have children. They had adopted twin girls last year. The girls were from Poland. Right now Maddie and Lorain were with Dasiys parents in Oregon so that Simon and Daisy could move things into there new house without having to worry what the girls were doing.
Simon looked up as Martin and Ruthie came thru the hotel doors. He was surprised to see they were holding hands. Ruthie mouthed " I'll explain later" . Simon joined his wifes side just as hope ran into her mothers arms. After giving her a big hug , Ruthie sat in a chair and lifted hope onto her lap. she then began to talk " Hope sweety I want you to meet someone very special. This is your Daddy Martin. He wants to get to know you but he allready loves you."
Hope slipped off her moms lap and walked slowly over to Martin . She looked up at him with big eye's and said " I know who you are , your Martin Brewer you played second base on the Orioles team . it's so cool your my dad . I love baseball I was on my schools tball team last year. "
Martin trying not to cry replied " Thats really cool sweety, Your half brother loves to play baseball. maybe sometime soon we can go to the batting cage."
" ok, but first can I ask two things"
"of course"
"first , whos ."
"your brothers name is Aaron 's 11 he lives here with his mommy snd her husband whos a doctor."
cool...maybe tomorrow I can meet him. ummm is it ok for me to hug you daddy"
at this martin couldn't speak he just opened his arms and let her in. It was sometime later when things had settled down that ruthie told simon and dasiy that her and martin were getting married. Simon was happy but also a little sad he had really loved having his sister living with him. Dasiy and Simon decided to go see there new house wile Ruthie,Martin and Hope went to get lunch .
Simon had been working to get things set up here in glen oak via phone and internet for his new job , so Dasiy had come to Glen oak to find a house and Simon knowing what a good relitor she was had let her do the choosing just signing were he needed to. So he surprised to have her tell him to stop at his old house. Simon looked at dasiy and said "Why are we stoping here this can`t be the house the church owns it. "
"Actually the church dosnt own it anymore we do. They had it up for rent but when I went to talk to the board of directors they said it wasn't really worth them keeping as sandy didn't need it and renting meant keep up and fixing anything that broke . so they sold it to me. I know you'll like it once we get inside. The girls will each have there own room. we can use the attic as a play room. I will have my own office and until ruthie ready to move in with Martin she can use the apartment above the garage. "
"Sweetie I know I will love the hose because it was the house I grew up in."
" oh...simon . I swear I didn't know."
instead of answering he just gave her a big kiss.
