As Martin's words, 'that's just it, I didn't father her child,' continued to flash in Ruthie head the room became very hazy, she started to feel faint and then suddenly the phone rang and stunned her back into reality.
"Ruthie, you don't look so good, are you ok?" Martin asked worriedly.
"Hello," she said into the receiver completely ignored his question.
"Oh my god," She screamed before dropping the phone and running out of her room.
"Ruthie, what is it, what's wrong?"
"It's Lucy…she and Savannah…they…they got into a car accident," Ruthie said nervously before running out to the drive way.
"Dang it, my parents have the van," She shouted. "How am I supposed to get to the hospital?"
"You can't drive in this condition, I'll take you," Martin stated simply.
In light of his recent confession Ruthie didn't exactly feel comfortable around Martin, but she had no other mode of transportation to the hospital so she reluctantly agreed with a quick nod of the head. Each was left with only his/her own thoughts on the way because each was too nervous to talk for a number of reasons. While battling her thoughts Ruthie decided that Lucy and the kids had to be ok, they just had to be, and in regards to Martin well, she wasn't going to let him get off that easy.
"How are Lucy and Savannah?" "How are the babies?" Ruthie asked as she and Martin rushed into the hospital and found her parents standing with Kevin and Simon.
"Time will tell, but Matt said it doesn't look good," Eric said sadly.
"What do you mean, what's going on?" Ruthie asked while bracing herself for the answer.
"The accident was really bad. Savannah has a concussion as well as a number of bumps and bruises. Sarah said she is going to be ok, but she has to stay in the hospital overnight. And Lucy well, Lucy she…" Eric said unable to continue.
"She what?" Ruthie asked in anticipation.
After seeing that Eric no longer had the energy to explain Annie took over.
"Ruthie honey, Lucy slipped into a coma due to the trauma of the accident, which caused both babies heart rates to begin dropping so the doctors had to an emergency C-section," Annie explained with tears rolling down her cheeks.
"The babies are going to be all right, aren't they?" "Lucy is going to wake up and the babies are going to be ok, right?" Ruthie asked hysterically.
"We don't know honey, only time will tell. For now all we can do is pray and wait," Annie said wiping some fresh tears from her cheeks.
At that moment Ruthie turned to face Martin, who had been standing behind her the whole time and said, "Please tell me this is not happening."
"I wish I could Ruthie. I really wish I could," He said calmly rubbing her back as she sobbed on his shoulder.
