Martin had returned to New York the day after he and Ruthie had their special day out. It was always sad when he left family but it was extremely hard for him to leave Ruthie, after all they had just gotten back together. Martin walked into his apartment and saw that he had 5 new voice messages on his home phone. He quickly walked over to check them. The first one was from his agent telling him to call him when he got in. Martin laughed to himself wondering if his agent had ever heard of a cell phone. The next 2 were from Ruthie making sure he had gotten home alright. The next one from Simon which he was sure was about Ruthie. When he finally listened to the last one he froze in place and couldn't believe who it was.

Martin this is Casey I just wanted to call so we could hang out and I also wanted you to know that you broke my heart and that I am pregnant and that I plan on making sure the whole world knows that it is yours. Love ya bye.

How could this be happening to Martin? Not know he had just gotten his life together, he had just finally gotten together with the love of his life. Besides he never actually slept with Casey. They had only gone to that party where he kissed her, but nothing else. She was just doing this for attention but he knew that as soon as Ruthie found out she would never forgive him and that his future with her was over.

*Ring Ring*

"Hello?" Martin said nervously into the phone.

"Martin I um need to talk to you, you see some girl called looking for you and I think that you need to explain now." Simon practically yelled into the phone.

"Casey?"

"Yeah."

"Listen Simon I went out with her once and now she is claiming some pretty outrageous things."

"Like what?"

"Well for one that she is pregnant."

"What Martin what did you do?" Simon yelled obviously furious.

"I didn't do anything. That's the thing I never slept with her I only kissed her good night and now she is saying that I am the father and that she is going to tell everyone."

"Martin does Ruthie know?"

"Not yet but something tells me that she will soon if Casey has anything to do with it."

"You need to tell her first."

"And tell her what? Oh by the way some chick says I'm the father of her unborn baby like Sandy thought but I'm really not because I never slept with you. You are the only one I have ever almost had a baby with. Yeah Simon that works out well."

"Martin don't tell her like that you idiot tell her the truth and soon. I have to go now but tell her, I really like you and I would hate to see some psychotic girl ruin things for my sister."

"Yeah me too." Martin said hanging up and throwing his phone across the room.

Ruthie had been on cloud nine ever since who day she had with Martin. She couldn't believe that she had the love of her life with her finally and after all that they had been through they were able to make it work. Ruthie decided to turn on her computer and check out what was going on in the world. She went to the front page and couldn't believe what she saw. MLB played Martin Brewer denying all claims that he is the father of Casey Stealth's unborn child. Ruthie turned off her computer and quickly grabbed her phone and called Martin.

"He…"Martin was cut off by Ruthie.

"Martin Brewer I loved you I believed in you, I thought you were better than this. How could you? I saw the internet and I can't believe it I guess you must have just felt guilty for the whole getting me pregnant thing, well you know what Martin don't ever talk to me again." Ruthie yelled before hanging up her phone. She then dropped to the ground and began to cry uncontrollably until she heard someone at the door.

"Ruthie what's wrong?" Simon came running into her aid.

"Martin and some girl." Was all that Ruthie could muster out.

"Ruthie he didn't do anything I called him earlier, because that crazy chick called here for him and he told me the whole story. You have to believe him."

"I just can't Simon. I mean why didn't he tell me before now. Why didn't he tell me one of the million chances he had?"

"I don't know but I am guessing that he didn't think she was important enough to bring up. He only kissed her once; he never even slept with her if that is what you are thinking. I guarantee the only reason she is saying anything is to get her name on a few magazines."

"I just don't know, I feel like fate keeps getting in the way of our relationship."

"You know what I think?" Simon asked, helping Ruthie to her feet. "I think that you are afraid you will get hurt again like you did with Sandy, so you think way too much about things and close your heart off way to easily. If I were you I would have called Martin as soon as you had the miscarriage if not when you found out you were pregnant, but you didn't you just ran away from him."

"I guess maybe you are kind of right." Ruthie said wiping her face off.

"Kind of? I am completely right Ruthie Camden and you know it."

Just then Ruthie's phone lit up and it said she had one new message. She saw it was from Martin but decided to open it anyway.

I love you so much, don't believe me turn on ESPN in 10 mins.

Ruthie ran downstairs without even telling Simon why. She reached the living room nearly knocking over Kevin and jumped to the couch right in front of the TV. She turned it on to the right channel and was shocked when she saw what was on next.

"Next on ESPN we talk to MLB player Martin Brewer who puts those nasty daddy rumors to rest and we also get the inside scoop on the real love of his life."

Ruthie stood there with her mouth gaping open. The room was soon filling up with the rest of her family, but she didn't care all she cared about was what Martin had to say.

"So Martin Brewer tell us are you the father of Miss Stealth's unborn child." The reporter asked Martin.

"I am not the father we hung out at a party a few months ago and shared a good-night kiss but that is all that we shared. I have not seen nor talked to her since then until she called me today." Martin said.

"So tell us who are you in love with?"

"I am in love with Ruthie Camden. I have been since the day I saw her and I always will be. I hope that she will forgive me and that she knows now that I really do love her."

"Well there you have it folks from us here first the inside scoop on baseball's hottest new star."

With that they ended that part of the show and Ruthie couldn't believe it. She was getting ready to call Martin when she heard someone walk into the room.

"Ruthie….."
