Thank you everyone for reading my story and for all of your support! I love you guys! Don't forget I have another Marthie fanfic 'My Perfect Life', they are already married and have kids.

7 Years Later:

-Ruthie catches you up with what happened all the way, so don't worry.

Martin and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the bed and breakfast for those couple of days. We spend the days relaxing in the sun out by the pool and of course a good amount of time inside just enjoying each other's company. I was so happy I could call him my husband. The days at the bed and breakfast were over before we knew it. It was then time to fly to the Cayman Islands. I was really excited to be going there, I have always wanted to go. I had never been to over to the Caribbean and such so when I suggested it to Martin when we trying to decide where we wanted to go, the Cayman Islands stayed at the top of our list. While we were in the Cayman Islands we stayed at the beautiful Reef Resort. (A/N Look it up, it's gorgeous!) We spent a lot of our time in the Cayman Islands doing activities. We knew we didn't have much time here so we wanted to soak up as much of the island fun as possible. During our time in the Cayman Island we learned how to scuba dive, something I've always wanted to do, as well as Martin. We also swam with dolphins, we toured Pedro's Castle St. James Historical Site, and we went to the Grand Cayman 7 mile beach. We spent a day just at the beach lying out in the sun. Our time in the Cayman Islands was very relaxing. We were in the Cayman Islands for a week and Martin had something romantic for me all the time. One day he took me to a spa and we had a couple's massage. Then another day, he took me on this romantic picnic. One night we came back to our room and Martin had someone come and decorate it with candles, roses, and rose pedals. I was quite impressed with all the hard work he had done. And I'm sure you can guess what happened that night! No need to go into details there.

Unfortunately when the week ended, it was time for us to pack our bags and head back to Glen Oak and return to our normal everyday lives. I'd return back to my school where I teach second grade and Martin would start job hunting since he decided he was finished playing baseball. I sold my apartment and we moved into the garage apartment at my parents' house. My parents said we could stay there until we saved up enough money to buy a house of our own. After a couple weeks of looking for a job, Martin got a job teaching P.E. at Glen Oak High School. The P.E. teacher had to move because his father fell ill so Martin was right there waiting when the opportunity arrived. Martin was an assistant coach for the baseball team there as well. Then a year after Martin got his job, we were financially steady enough to buy our own house. Just a month after our 1 year anniversary we moved into our own 4 bedroom 3 bathroom house. We got a big house on purpose. We knew it wouldn't be long before we had little feet running around our house. Our house had a big backyard for our future kids to play on and a fenced in pool.

We moved into our big, roomy house with perfect timing too because I found out a week after moving into our new house that I was a month pregnant with our first child. We were ecstatic. My mom and Lucy were at our house for month helping me paint and decorate the nursery. We decorated our son's room in baseball theme of course. Martin wouldn't have it any other way. We completely finished the nursery with a month to spare.

Finally on July 23, our son, William Eric Brewer, named after his grandfathers, came into our world. He brightened up our lives and made us quite happy. He was 7 lbs, 9 oz when he was born. Since it was the summer Mary had planned there summer trip over here around my due date. William showed up 4 days before they had to leave so all of the Camden's got to see the new little addition to the family. Three days after giving birth to my son, we were both allowed to leave the hospital and return home. Everyone, including Mary's family piled into our house and welcomed baby William home. Our big, roomy house didn't seem so big anymore with all of us in there. Once we got William in the house everyone wanted to get pictures with him. I let Charlie, Savannah and Kara hold him because they were old enough to know how to hold a baby, plus they had younger siblings. Mary and Lucy were snapping pictures left and right when their children were holding William. I let Sarah hold William while Ethan and Anna came and stood beside her for the picture. Then Matt held William. With Mary and Carlos's children I let Charlie hold him and Kara, Leah, and Camden came and sat around Charlie for the picture then Mary and Carlos joined in for another picture. I did the same thing with Lucy's children. Savannah held William and Jordan, Alex, Gracie and Maddie came and sat beside Savannah. Then with Simon's kids, I did the same then I did with Matt's, Sandy held William and Olivia, Dylan and Alyssa sat around her. Sam and David got their pictures with William, along with my parents and Martin's dad. After everyone had their picture taken with William, I politely kicked them out of our house because William was getting fussy and I was just worn out.

A month after William was born; our family, Lucy's family, and Simon's family were sitting down eating lunch at our parents' house on Sunday after church. During dessert, Lucy and Kevin announced they were pregnant again. On April 30, their last baby, Cameron Elizabeth Kinkirk was born. Then it was her turn to go through all the turmoil of everyone wanting to see her new baby and pictures. Cameron was a happy baby. Her brothers and sisters love her to death. Gracie and Maddie call her 'their baby'.

Things in the Camden family were pretty quiet there for a while. Lucy went back to work at the church. The twins were in college. Martin and the other coach took the baseball team to the playoffs, didn't win though. William was growing bigger and bigger every day. Just after William turned 1, he took his first steps! We were so proud of him. Things still remained pretty quiet until when William was 19 months old, I found out I was pregnant again. When I told Martin the news he couldn't have been happier. A couple months later we found out we were having a girl. Once again mom was helping me set up another room in our house for our daughter's nursery. I've always like pink and brown together so her nursery was a pink and brown polka dot theme.

On December 14, Hannah Marie Brewer was born. Hannah was 6 lbs 4 oz when she was born. She was such a happy baby. Hannah was definitely daddy's little princess. Her big brother loved her and was always looking out for her, well as much as a 2 year old could. He was 28 months old when Hannah was born.

When Hannah was 3 months old, Simon and Sandy announced they were pregnant again. Just 3 days shy of Hannah's 1st birthday, Sandy gave birth to Austin Lucas. After Austin was born, that was the last birth for a while.

For our 6 year anniversary, Martin and I wanted to take a trip. We decided to go back to the same bed and breakfast we went to for our honeymoon. Instead of going in September on our actual anniversary, we went in December. My parents kept William, who was then 4 and Hannah, who was 2 and we were off to Kingsburg for a long relaxing weekend together. This was the first time we had been alone together and relax since the kids were born. As a result of that wonderful weekend I spent with my husband away from Glen Oak, brings us to the present. I am laying in the maternity ward of Glen Oak Community Hospital getting ready to give birth to our third child, on September 14.

I am not completely dilated so Martin and my kids are still in the room with me. Once I'm ready to give birth, Martin will take the kids out to my parents and he will come back in with me. William is really excited about the new baby. We haven't told them what I am having, so William and Hannah are guessing what I am having. William is now 5. I can't believe my baby boy is 5 already. Hannah is almost 3. She's grown up so fast. Both of them are potty trained now so once the new baby is born I'll only have 1 set of diapers to change!

"Hey sweetie. How are you holding up?"

"I'm okay, Martin. Just ready for the epidural."

Finally the nurse comes in again to see if I'm ready for the epidural.

"Hi Mrs. Brewer. How are you feeling?"

"I'm doing okay."

"Mr. Brewer, I need to ask that you and the children step outside the room for a few minutes, please."

"Sure, no problem. William, Hannah, go give mommy a kiss."

William and Hannah ran over to me. Martin lifted them up.

"I love you, mommy."

"I love you too, William."

"I love you, mommy."

"I love you too, Hannah. Now you two be good with Gramma and Papa, okay? Soon you're going to be a big brother again William and Hannah you're going to be a big sister."

"Bye Mommy!" they both said.

Turns out I was ready for the epidural and I was 2 centimeters away being able to push. Martin came back in the room after I was given the epidural and we talked over names one more time. Three hours later our little child was born.

Martin went out to the waiting room and got my parents and William and Hannah. They walked into my room just as the nurse was handing me back my baby. Martin picked up William and Hannah and sat them at the foot of my bed.

"William, Hannah." I said. "Meet your little sister. Laney Elyse Brewer."

Laney was born at 4:30 pm on September 14, very healthy at 5 lbs, 6 oz. William and Hannah instantaneously fell in love with their little sister.

I could not have been happier than the moment I was in now. I am married to my wonderful husband of 7 years. We have three beautiful children whom we love to death. These were the happiest days of my life. Watching my children grow up, being married to the man of my dreams, watching my parents watch their grandchildren grow up.

Looking back on my life, I feel I've made some pretty good decisions. I was happy that Martin and I didn't wait to get married. We were happy and why put off happiness. We waited just long enough to have kids, and we have 3 beautiful one, William, Hannah, and Laney.

Leaving the hospital on September 18th started a new chapter in our lives. Raising three kids was definitely different than 2. We had sports events and things that were now in our schedule. But we manage day by day. That's what makes us a family, and that's what makes us happy.

"Ruthie, you are amazing. Thank you for giving me three beautiful children."

"Martin, I don't know what I would have done without you in my life. Thank you for coming back to Glen Oak 8 years ago."

"I love you Ruthie Camden Brewer. I always have and always will."

"I love you Martin Brewer."
