Author's Note: I'm so very sorry that it took so long to put out this chapter. I just had gotten over some family issues, then add school into the mix with work on the side it has been a horrible two months. Anyway thank you all for the awesome reviews. I'm none to impressed by this season and that whole Martin wanting to marry Sandy thing just will not do so in my fantasy world Ruthie and Martin will always be together. Anyway can't wait to read what you think of this chapter. Peace.
Chapter 8:
Nick sat across from his lawyer and told everything about Ruthie Camden and Martin Brewer. He could tell he was annoying the man but he didn't really give a damn. He just wanted out of this hell hole. His father had the money he didn't understand why he didn't find a way to get him out of this mess quicker. It was all that bitches fault anyway. It was her that riled him up, it wasn't his fault that she was a whore. He clenched his hands at the thought of that other whore Meredith. She dare betray him she had another thing coming to her that's a promise. He would make her pay for sending him to his hell hole. The lawyer looked at the punk in front him. How did Nick's father think that he was going to get this punk out of jail? He beat up two girls and of them was pregnant. Add to the fact that the pregnant girl was a preacher's daughter and the boyfriend was the son of an army man, he couldn't mess up the girl's image. Yes she was pregnant but she and her boyfriend were taking responsibility.
"So", asked Nick looking at this lawyer annoyed.
"What do you want me to do, this is not a case, this girl is the perfect citizen as well as her family, how exactly am I going to destroy her? You hit a pregnant girl", said the lawyer.
"You look like a manic in front of everyone", said the lawyer packing up his brief case.
"I'm not staying here, my dad pays you a whole lot of money I don't care how you do it but get me out of here", growled Nick.
His lawyer looked at the younger man in front of him and shook his head before walking out of that place. He would tell Mike, Nick's father that he simple couldn't take the case and to find someone else. He would not take part of this. He was a lawyer and while his job called for him to lie he would not help that punk walk the streets. He would not even help him get a reduced sentence.

Ruthie sat down at her vanity. There was a winter formal tonight but she just couldn't get herself together. She felt so fat. It wasn't nice been this age and being pregnant. She knew that was the only reason. She had been having nightmares about Nick coming to hurt her and her baby. Martin would try to get to them but he was always too late. She knew that she should tell Martin about her nightmares but she didn't want him to worry about her. She sighed once more.
"Ruthie baby what's wrong?", asked Martin walking into the room.
She might have thought that she was hiding her feelings well but she wasn't. He knew that she had nightmares at night because he would feel her leave the bed every night. He hadn't said anything hoping that she would come to him but she hadn't. His fiancé did not come to him with her problems and he found a problem with that. Ruthie sighed.
"I have been getting nightmares about Nick", answered Ruthie looking down at her manicured hands.
Martin sighed and tried to curb his anger at the thought of Nick, the psycho that made their lives so very awful.
"Come here baby", said Martin.
Ruthie moved towards him but didn't sit on his lap like he wanted her to.
"Come here Ruthie", said Martin trying to pull her into his lap.
"No I'm too heavy Martin", said Ruthie.
"NO you are not, Ruthie my God you are too small, I'm actually scared about that", said Martin looking into her face as she cuddled into his arms.
She may complain about her weight all the time but she loved that he refuted her claims all the time. He always carried her around or made her sit on his lap. He told her she was beautiful all the time.
"I gained too much weight and you want me to gain more", said Ruthie smiling at him.
He pecked her on the lips.
"Yes it good for the baby, you have to gain a minimum of 25 lbs Ruthie, you haven't gained even half of that. I'm scared baby", whispered Martin.
Ruthie looked into his beautiful worried eyes.
"Okay I'll try but everything that I eat comes back up", said Ruthie snuggling his neck.
"I know but you have to try for our baby", said Martin.
"Now about the nightmares", said Martin looking at her.
Ruthie looked at her before telling him what happened in the dreams.
"Okay I'll talk to Kevin about what exactly is going on with Nick and we will figure out what to do", said Martin.
Ruthie nodded her head.
"I'll always protect you Ruthie", said Martin.
"What if you can't?", asked Ruthie.
"I'll try my best, I promise", said Martin.
Ruthie nodded her head.
"Now baby go get ready for the winter formal", said Martin kissing her forehead.
Ruthie groaned. Martin just smiled at her as he got undressed to go take a shower. Ruthie licked her lips. Martin's body just got better. He had been working harder at baseball. His arms and abs had Ruthie and unfortunately all the other girls in school drooling. He was all hers.
"Martin", purred Ruthie.
Martin turned around and smiled when he saw Ruthie walk towards him and kissed him with a passion that left him shaking.
"I want to make love" whispered Ruthie.
Martin smiled against her lips.
"Oh yeah", whispered Martin.
He walked them back to the bed. He gently removed her panties and thrust into her body. He made sure to not hurt the baby.
"Martin", moaned out Ruthie as she wrapped her legs around his thrusting hips.
He knew that being in Ruthie's body was where home was. Ruthie was his home.
"Oh god", whispered Martin as she thrust back against him.
He could feel her running her fingers done his back.
"Ruthie", yelled out Martin as he felt her clamp down on his penis.
He trembled. Nothing was better then being a part of Ruthie.
"Umm Martin", purred Ruthie as she ran her fingers through his damp hair.
She could feel his heart beating hard against his chest.
"Now I got you all sweaty", said Ruthie.
"Now we can't go to the formal", said Ruthie smiling at him innocently.
Martin rolled his eyes.
"We are going", said Martin pulling her off of the bed.
They took a shower together and Martin washed her body gently.
"You ready", said Martin dressed in his tux.
"Yes", whispered Ruthie walking out of the bathroom.
Martin's mouth dropped. Ruthie was a vision. She stood before him in a white gown, with an empire waist. Her hair was in curls like he loved and there was a hair pin holding it away from her beautiful face.
"So what do you think?", asked Ruthie spinning around in her dress.
"Wow", whispered Martin before kissing her gently.
"You are beautiful", whispered Martin.
Ruthie smiled a little bit.
"Alright let's go", said Ruthie.
Martin nodded his head.

Ruthie and Martin danced throughout the night. Everyone could tell how in love they were. Some girls were jealous however. They still wondered how Ruthie got the star baseball player.
"Do you want something to drink?", asked Martin.
Ruthie nodded her head and watched him walk over to the punch bowel.
"You know he is only with you because of the baby. Don't you care that you are ruining his life?", asked one of the girls that used to hang out with Meredith.
Ruthie rolled her eyes at that.
"Martin wants this baby as much as he wants me. Get away from me", said Ruthie.
"You are nothing but a slut", said the girl.
"No you are the slut, get away from Ruthie now", said a voice behind them.
Ruthie smiled at the person. Mac.
"Hey Mac", said Ruthie.
"What you sleeping with him too, is Martin even sure that it's his baby", said the girl.
Ruthie knew that girl, her name was Kathy.
"Leave Kathy weren't you the one that got pregnant and didn't know if the baby's father was either you boyfriend or his best friend's. Didn't you also have an abortion", said Mac glaring at the girl.
Kathy glared at him and said, "Nick was right in hitting you".
Tears came to Ruthie's eyes.
"Get away now", growled Martin coming up to the table.
"Now", yelled Martin once more.
Kathy looked at them before walking away.
"Baby", whispered Martin into her ears.
"Baby don't listen to her she is just a spiteful person", said Martin.
He gently wiped her tears away.
"Martin is right Ruthie you know this", said Mac looking at the couple.
He always knew that Martin loved that girl.
"Let's go home", said Martin.
"I'll catch you later Mac", said Martin.
Mac nodded his head feeling bad for Ruthie.

The car ride was silent. Ruthie did not say a word all the way home.
"Talk to me baby", whispered Martin as they got to their apartment.
"Do you think I ruin your life?", asked Ruthie looking so sad.
"No you gave me life, this baby is my chance at a real family. My mom died and my dad is always away, I love you baby and you are giving me the best gift, the family that I always wanted", said Martin.
He wiped her tears away.
"Are you okay baby", asked Martin.
Ruthie smiled before nodding her head.
"What's this?", asked Ruthie reaching over to a stack of letters on the table.
"Oh god", whispered Ruthie as she read the letter.
"What, what's wrong?", asked Martin.
"Nick is suing me for sexual harassment", said Ruthie looking at the letter.
Martin took the letter from her and read it and felt his anger increase.
"He is saying that I sexually harassed him that's why he hit me", said Ruthie.
Martin hugged her tightly. Ruthie could not take her eyes off of the letter.
They both didn't know that this was only the beginning of the web of lies that Nick would spin about them. They didn't know how corrupted Mike, Nick's father was. They didn't know about the dead body of the lawyer that had refused to defend Mike's son. They didn't know how dangerous Nick as well as his father Mike really were.
