Sorry I haven't updated for a while but I have been busy, I just got done with a 6 page paper that is due tomorrow so hopefully I will be able to update quicker in the coming weeks. I really would love it if you guys could review when you read to give me input and feedback and ideas. My best friend is reading it and helping with ideas but I always love to hear from you guys as well.

It had been a week since Ruthie was had been in the accident and she still hadn't woken up. The only time that Martin ever left was to shower or eat. He just sat at her side and held her hand. Ruthie's family had all come and they were taking turns sitting with Martin. The doctors were starting to lose hope of Ruthie ever waking up, which broke Martin's heart because he could never live without her. Martin had taken more time off from baseball and was being threatened to be moved down to the minor leagues but he didn't care nothing mattered to him right now.

It was now getting late and all the Camden's had gone home to their respective homes and the hotel that the rest were staying at. Martin was watching ESPN and a special about where are the biggest stars now. He knew that he would be on there and that people would criticize him but it didn't matter to him.

"Hey man you really are conceded with yourself aren't you?" Martin turned to see Mac standing in the doorway.

"Yeah I guess I am." Martin said with a slight smile. "What are you doing here?"

"Well I went over to the Camden's yesterday because I was in town and no one was home, one of the neighbors's told me what had happened so I got on the first flight here. How are you holding up?"

"Okay I guess. I mean my agent is so ticked off at me right now and the organization is threatening to send me back to the minor's and Ruthie isn't getting any better." Martin said with sadness in his eyes.

"Is there anything I can?" Mac asked.

"Unless you can make Ruthie wake up no." Martin said looking down at the lifeless woman in front of him.

"Dad what are you doing here?" Ruthie asked her father. She was walking through the hospital in her hospital gown when she spotted her dad at the end of the hallway.

"The better question is what are you doing here?" Eric asked his daughter.

"I got hit by a drunk driver going to the store to get food for me and Martin."

"Martin, I am so glad you guys finally worked things out. You were meant for each other. Come on there are places that we need to go and people to see." Eric said taking his daughter's hand.

"Where?" Ruthie asked confused as they walked through the hospital.

"First off I want to show you just how much your mother and I really do love you."

They walked into their house in California and saw Annie and Eric sitting on the couch.

"Eric I know that Martin is the dad, I mean what other guy would she cover for." Annie said pacing the living room.

"I just can't believe she would do this, she's so young. Did she learn nothing from the whole Martin-Sandy thing." Eric said trying not to lose his cool.

"I just want to talk to her and tell her that we love her and we want to help her anyway we can."

Soon Ruthie and Eric were back in the hospital and Ruthie looked up at her dad.

"I thought you guys hated me after what I did?" Ruthie asked.

"There is no way that we could ever hate you baby." Eric said looking his daughter in the eyes."Come on there is still more places to go."

The two were soon in Martin's dorm room on a cool winter night.

"So man who's the girl who stole your heart?" Martin's roommate asked.

"No, one just shut up." Martin yelled slamming his laptop.

"Clearly no one." His roommate smirked before going back to his homework.

Martin got up and walked into the bathroom and take out his phone and dialed a all too familiar number.

"Hey this Ruthie I can't make it to the phone or I just don't want to talk to you so either way leave me a message." Came over the phone after about 7 rings.

"Ruthie, hey it's Martin I was just wanting to say that this is the last time I'm going to call I don't want to make you angry with me I just love you so well I guess I'll talk to you later." Martin hung up the phone and sat down on the edge of the tub trying to fight back tears.

Ruthie and Eric were soon both in the hospital again.

"I didn't want to talk to him; I wanted to forget about him because he had so much going for him. I had no idea how much he cared." Ruthie said crying.

"There's one last place that we need to go before it's time to go." Eric said walking into Ruthie's current hospital room.

Martin was sitting asleep in the chair beside of Ruthie's bed holding her hand. The machine was beeping with a steady rhythm indicating that she was still alive.

"Over the past week Martin has left your side only to shower, change, eat, and use the bathroom. He only sleeps when his body refuses to function anymore. He's lost weight and is being threatened to be sent down to the minor leagues because he hasn't played a game since the accident."

"I can't believe I am putting him through this, why is he still here?"

"Because he wants to live the rest of his life with you, after he found out what had happened with the baby he blamed himself. He thought that if he was there and you weren't stressed maybe the baby would be here today."

"Oh, dad I love him so much. I don't want to die." Ruthie cried into her dad's shoulder.

"It's not your time yet, but it is time for me to leave."

"No dad please stay." Ruthie cried even harder.

"I can't but I will always be in your heart." Eric said kissing Ruthie on the cheek before disappearing into the air.

Martin was sitting by Ruthie holding her hand when he felt something that felt like someone was squeezing his hand. This had happened many times before, but this felt different like there was actual force.

"Martin." A raspy voice called out.

Hoped you guys liked it the italics was a dream Ruthie had to kind of make her realize how everyone dealt with things.
