William: Ruthie
Ruthie: (wiping her eyes) yes William
William: please call me Will
Ruthie: Will
Will: I was wondering if you wanted to talk?
Ruthie: (looks into Will's eyes and she sees that he can look directly into her eyes without looking away) of course
Will: I have this perfect spot to talk
Ruthie: lead the way
(Will takes her to their school, there is a window open in the basement and they climb inside to the school. Will is holding Ruthie's hand and they walk into the boys bathroom where Peter killed himself, they sit down on the floor and talk)
Will: that's better
Ruthie: Will I hate to break it to you but the place where Peter is buried and where he killed himself isn't much better
Will: I know what happened in here and the reason I picked this spot is because I want Peter to be here with us in spirit while we talk
Ruthie: (flirting laugh) that is so sweet
Will: (holds Ruthie's hand) Ruthie I like you
Ruthie: I like you too Will
Will: No I really like you
Ruthie: well I like you too
Will: do you want to be my girlfriend?
Ruthie: Will I am pregnant
Will: I know
Ruthie: that doesn't bother you?
Will: not at all
Ruthie: so you want to go out with me?
Will: I want to do more than that
Ruthie: like?
Will: I want to be there for the baby as if I was Peter
Ruthie: why do this?
Will: because I would always hear about you from Peter and he would describe you as the most beautiful, nice, and amazing girl in the whole world and I finally meet you and you are even more than that to me
Ruthie: Will
Will: Ruthie I want to be there for you
Ruthie: I don't even know you
Will: you could get to know me and I could get to know you
Ruthie: that sounds great
Will: so when is your baby due?

Will: if it's not too personal what happened with Isabel?
Ruthie: she was born prematurely and just didn't make it
Will: what was her full name?
Ruthie: Isabel Hope Camden Petrowski
Will: that's a really pretty name
Ruthie: thank you
Will: any names for this baby?
Ruthie: ummmm well if it is a boy I was thinking Peter William Petrowski
Will: you're amazing in my eyes
