Chapter 9: Some Peace
Simon let out a slow, loud yawn. Caitlin and he had boarded an airplane for Glen Oak about 2 hours before. He looked over at his girlfriend who was peacefully sleeping, her head resting on Simon's shoulder.
"Hey Cait," he whispered in her ear. She stirred, but did not open her eyes.
"Are we there yet?" she mumbled still half-asleep.
"Almost, baby," Simon replied. He gently kissed the top of her head causing her eyes to pop open. "Rise and shine, sweetie."
Caitlin smiled up at him. "I must've conked out. Sorry," she yawned.
"Don't worry, so did I," he admitted. "I know; it's too early."
Simon adjusted his seat up into its proper position as Caitlin tossed their pillows and blankets into the top compartment.
"So . . ." Simon continued as Caitlin situated herself back into her seat and snapped her seatbelt, "you excited?"
As she brushed her long hair out of her face and looked up at him, she smiled meekly. "Excited, but nervous," she admitted.
"That's normal with my family," Simon laughed, only half-joking.
"Oh, that's comforting," Caitlin smiled. He took her hand in his, entangling their fingers.
Soon the plane was safely on the ground and the passengers were allowed to exit through the gate. It was about 5:30 in the morning as the couple drove in their rental car to the Camden household. Little did they know what they would come home to.

"Daddy! Daddy!" a little four-year-old voice rang from around the corner. Running excitedly, the twins dashed into their father's lap. "Look!" The boys proudly displayed their red lollipops for everyone to see. Laughter quickly filled the room at the boys' innocence, the family's uneasiness decreasing. Because everyone was hugging and pampering Sam and David, no one noticed the doctor walk into the waiting room.
"Ruthie Camden?" his voice called. Eric looked nervously at him, indicating to the doctor that this was indeed the girl's family. "She'll be fine," he continued answering Eric's gaze, noticing the grateful smiles spreading across the small waiting room. "But her right leg was damaged so much, the bone was revealed. All that muscle and skin has been severely torn and there is bruising along the bone. Ruthie will have to use crutches and stay off that leg for a few weeks. You may see her if you'd like. Right down the hall, third door on the left."
After Eric thanked the friendly doctor, he started down the white, brightly- lit hallway, followed by Matt, and Mary, Carlos, Sarah, and Ben had decided to stay in the waiting room to watch the twins, predicting that an exhausted Ruthie would not want a crowded hospital room. When the three reached Ruthie's room, Eric twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open to reveal Ruthie. She was awake. Her room was brightly-lit, much like the hallway. She had changed into a white hospital gown and her leg, wrapped tightly with a thick, white cast, was propped up on a pillow.
"Finally! I have been asking forever to see you guys!" Ruthie greeted her father, brother, and sister, Eric on one side of her bed, Matt and Mary on the other. "How are Mom and Lucy?"
"Lucy's fine; Kevin's with her now," Eric answered stroking his fingers through his short, brown hair, "But we haven't heard anything about your mother yet." Ruthie's smile weakened.
"She'll be okay, Daddy," she reassured him, trying to reassure herself as well. Eric nodded and let out a slow sigh, resting his hand protectively on his daughter's shoulder. "Everything will be okay." He gave her a weak smile, still trying to convince himself of this.
"Hey, Mary, do you think I could talk to you," Ruthie asked. "Alone?" she added, Eric and Matt not getting the hint. Once the two had excited the room, Eric stated smiling genuinely for the first time that night, "Well, we definitely have the old Ruthie back. She's already trying to get information out of her sister."
"About what? We already know she's married and pregnant. What more could have happened?" Matt laughed, brushing his hair out of his eyes.
"Ah . . . I have learned how Ruthie thinks," Eric said calmly. "Do you really think Mary has told Ben she's married?" Matt noticed the twinkle in his father's eye return.
"And don't forget pregnant, but I'm sure Ben noticed that one," Matt replied laughing. Clapping his hand against his father's back. "But could Kevin have told him?"
"Nah, I think Kevin has the good sense not to interfere; plus, Lucy probably advised him not to. They know it's something Mary should tell him if he hasn't already guessed," Eric answered confidently, quite proud of himself for thinking like his fourteen-year-old daughter.
All Matt could do was stare and laugh at his father's childish attitude. It was nice to see his dad's humor again. Matt could tell the night's events had taken their toll on Eric, and just seeing his smile and joke eased Matt's worry.
"Dad, you've seriously been talking to Ruthie a little too much."
Simply shrugging his shoulders innocently, Eric, followed by his son, made his way back to the waiting room.
A/N: I thought this chapter was cute. Eric can be hilarious on the show. Anyways, more to come. Please, I'm begging you!!! Please review. It makes me feel special and guilty because I can't right away get a chapter up for you, but there are only so many hours in a day!!! PLEASE REVIEW
