Guys I am SO sorry! It's been SO terribly long and I feel so bad about that!!! School work has been keeping me busy…PLUS I was gonna update on Wednesday, but my computer crashed.  A couple days late, but hey! A CHAPTER! Imagine that! I just need to get into the story again and I'll update a lot more…thanks to 7thheavenluver for this idea! I loved it and I just got a TON of ideas!!!

"So here's my cell phone number…and here's Kevin's…" Lucy panicked, quickly grabbing whatever spare scrap of paper she could find.
"Luce. Relax. I know both of your numbers. And don't worry…Martin will be here in five minutes. He had baseball." Ruthie explained slowly.
"I know. It's just that it's the first time you've watched Chris and Zach by themselves...and Savannah could be a handful too…" Lucy warned and Ruthie nodded.
"I know Luce. Don't worry about it. You and Kevin go have a nice night out. You haven't had a night to yourselves for six months. It's about time you get out!"
"I know…I'm just worried about my babies."
Kevin was buttoning up his shirt when he walked into the kitchen. "The boys will be up any minute. Do you want me to get them?"
"Could you?" Lucy asked, smiling.
"I'll help you." Ruthie offered, following her brother in law into the nursery. She picked up Zach and planted a kiss on his forehead, and he laid his head on his shoulder, his eyes drooping. "Looks like my little nephew isn't ready to get up yet." Ruthie said, sitting on the rocking chair.
"Doesn't look like Chris is ready either."
"Hand him here." Ruthie said.
"You sure?"
"I can handle my nephews. Come on. Hand him over." She said, and he put Chris on her other shoulder, and she wrapped her arms tightly around them both. Lucy walked in with Savannah, and set her on the floor with some of her toys.
"Alright Ruthie…looks like you're doing okay…"

"Yeah I am. Go out. Have a great time!"
"Okay. Bye." Lucy reluctantly walked out of the room. "She'll be fine." She heard Kevin say as they left and Ruthie laughed as the phone rang. "Crap." She said, looking at the sleeping boys in her arms. She laid the boys down in their beds and they both started crying. "Great…" she mumbled, picking up the phone.
"Hello?" she yelled over the crying.
"I'm sorry babe! I'm on my way!"
"You better be."
"What's going on?"
"They're screaming their heads off!"
"I'm stuck in traffic…I'll be there in ten minutes. I promise!"
"Okay. Bye." She hung up, running back to the screaming babies.

She picked up Zach in one arm and Chris in the other, sitting back down on the rocking chair. Their crying slowly subsided and they fell back asleep. Savannah crawled over to Ruthie, sitting beside her feet. Martin appeared in the doorway and he kissed Ruthie's forehead and picked up Savannah.

"Its about time Uncle Martin gets here, huh Savannah?" Ruthie asked and Savannah smiled as Martin tickled her stomach.
"How are you honey?"
"I'm good." Ruthie said, smiling. "They went back to sleep!"
"Good for you! What time do these munchkins go to bed?"
"8."
"Well…it's 6 now." He said, looking at his watch. "Should we feed some children some dinner?"
"That'd be good." She said as Martin set Savannah on the floor and grabbed Chris, putting them in the pack and play in the living room. Ruthie called and ordered pizza for her and Martin and heated up some weird potato and carrot dish for the kids. Once the pizza got there, they all ate and got the kids ready for bed. By the time they were done, it was 8 o'clock.
"Do you want to put the twins to bed?"
"Sure." Martin agreed.
"Goodnight babies. I love you." She said, kissing her nephews. Martin pouted. "I don't get a kiss?"
"Oh boo hoo." She said sarcastically, flashing him a smile. She leaned in and kissed him gently.
"Goodnight Savannah." Martin said, kissing Savannah's forehead, and they went their separate ways. Ruthie put Savannah in bed, kissed her goodnight, and then joined Martin in the twins' room. He was standing in between their cribs, looking down on them.
"They're so adorable." Ruthie whispered, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Night boys." Ruthie said, blowing a kiss at her nephews and walking out the door with Martin, shutting it behind her. Ruthie went and collapsed on the couch. Martin sat beside her and she laid her head down in his lap.
"I'm exhausted." She said, laughing. "How do Lucy and Kevin do it? Have three kids under the age of two? That's nuts."
"I know. I think we should at least wait two years between each of our kids."
"Yeah…How many kids do you want anyways?"
"Mmm…a few." He said, laughing slightly. "Four. Five. Six."
"SIX?! Are you insane?!" she asked him.
"No. I'm being dead serious. I didn't have siblings. When we have kids, I want them to have what you had when you were little."
"We also had our issues…" she said, rolling her eyes.
"But you all are amazing people! Matt's a doctor, Mary is teaching now, Lucy's a minister, Simon's a dad, Sam and David…well they're just Sam and David. And you…you're the most amazing woman I've ever met."

She smiled, leaning in and kissing him. "This is kinda weird isn't it? Talking about us having kids?"
"Yeah….a little bit. But you know what? I can't wait." He wrapped his arms around her and she laid her head on his shoulder and put her hand on his chest. He kissed her forehead and then they heard a baby crying.

"I guess I'm needed." Ruthie said, standing up. She went into the twins' room and saw Chris wide awake and Zach was crying. "Awww…what's wrong baby?" she asked, picking him up and kissing his cheek. Of course, she picked Chris up as well and walked into the living room.

"I'm going to go heat up bottles for them." She said, setting the boys in Martin's lap. They each laid their heads on his shoulders. She smiled, kissing their foreheads and walking into the kitchen. She was heating up the bottles and turned around, watching Martin very intently as he interacted with the boys. He was gently rubbing their backs, trying to get Zach's crying to subside. Chris was sucking his thumb. Martin would occasionally kiss the tops of their heads.
"I love you boys." He whispered and she smiled.

Too alarming now to talk it out

Take your pictures down and shake it out

Truth or consequence, say it aloud

Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero

Watch him as he goes

There goes my hero

He's ordinary

Don't the best of them bleed it out

While the rest of them peter out

Truth or consequence, say it aloud

Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero

Watch him as he goes

There goes my hero

He's ordinary

Kudos my hero leaving all the best

You know my hero, the one that's on

There goes my hero

Watch him as he goes

There goes my hero

He's ordinary

There goes my hero

Watch him as he goes

There goes my hero

He's ordinary

She smiled, shaking the song out of her head and going to the buzzing microwave. She took the bottles out, then took them into Martin. She sat down beside him. "Come here baby." She said, and Martin handed Zach to her. They each fed the babies a bottle. After burping them and realizing that it was 10 o'clock, they decided they would take the boys back in bed. Ruthie laid Zach down and looked at Martin and Chris. He kissed Chris' cheek before laying him in bed. Ruthie grinned from ear to ear.

After tucking them in, they went back into the living room and turned on a movie and Ruthie snuggled in Martin's arms. He kissed the top of her head and she smiled as he held her closer.
"You're going to be a great dad, you know that right?"
"I am?" He questioned, looking down at her.
"You were amazing with the boys tonight."
"Well thank you beautiful. Why can't we just get married…right now?!"
"Martin…I'm still in high school. I'm a junior."
"So?"
"Martin. Wait till I'm out of college at least. We've been through this tons of times."
"I know. I just want to marry you. Now."
"I know you do. Don't worry though. I'll always save a spot in my heart for you. I love you baby."
"I love you too." He said, enveloping her once again into his strong arms. She smiled and breathed deeply, falling asleep in his arms.
