The Best is yet to Come, Chapter 7: Bebé Niño
Disclaimer: See previous chapters... I own Lizzie (Ruthie's friend)
A/N: I'm sorry that it's been so long since I last updated. You can't imagine the writer's block I had. I just want to let my reader's know that I don't think I'll be updating as often since school started. Oh yeah and did anyone see the season premiere? I loved it how about you? Lastly I do know that Catholics are the ones that don't believe in divorce but for the stories sake I'm going to make it the whole Christian religion in general. Other than that please R/R.
Ruthie stood in line in the school cafeteria getting ready to pay.
" Ruthie?" Lizzie asked tapping her on the shoulder.
" Yeah," she replied turning around to face her.
Lizzie whispered something in her ear. Ruthie replied with a nod along with a giggle. Both girls paid for their lunch and started walking over to a table.
" Ready?" Lizzie questioned.
Ruthie nodded, "Ready," she said walking over to a boy, about 5'7''. He was skinny and had a chess club kind of look to him.
"Hey Big Daddy," Ruthie said running her fingers through his hair. At this the boy started to breathe harder. Ruthie was popular not the typical girl who how shall I say this liked him. Or that's what he thought. She gave him a kiss on the cheek, "See you in Chemistry." Ruthie said walking away.
" Chemistry," the boy said in a daze, just then Lizzie walked over to the boy. He began to breathe even harder than before.
"Hey Hottie," she said kissing him on the forehead, "See you later, " now the boy was breathing hard and starting to turn purple. She blew him a kiss and walked back over to Ruthie, then both girls left giggling about what they had just done.
"I don't know, but I sort of feel bad," Ruthie said sitting down at the table.
"Na," the girls replied in unison.
"You really think that he thought we liked him?" Ruthie questioned.
"It sure looked like it," she said taking a bite into her apple.
"Oh No!" Ruthie said remembering something she forgot to do the night before.
"What is it?"
"I forgot to study for my Spanish test."
Lizzie looked around her to make sure no-one was listening, "I got the answers."
"To the test?" Ruthie questioned.
Lizzie nodded.
"How did you come across those?"
"Never mind that." She picked up her backpack from next to her and pulled out a paper that read Key across the top, "Wanna copy?"
"You made copies?"
Lizzie nodded, "Yeah, I wouldn't just leave you hanging."
" Lizzie, I can't."
"Why not?"
"I just can't, I'm sorry." She said standing up and walking away to another table.
Doctor's office:
Matt and Sarah waited excitedly for Sarah's name to be called. Today was the day, the day they would find out the sex of the baby growing inside of Sarah.
"Sarah Camden?" A nurse called summoning her and Matt back. They stood up and headed towards the nurse who led them down the hall to a room.
She pointed to inside the room, "The doctor will be with you shortly."
Matt nodded and Sarah put her hand over her stomach protectively.
It wasn't before long till the doctor entered.
"So you are hear to find out the sex of the baby?" the doctor questioned sitting down on the stool.
Sarah nodded, "We where planning on it."
"So what do you say we find out?"
Sarah laid back onto the table and the doctor spread the cool goo around the stomach. He looked at the screen for a few moments very quietly, except for a few hmmmms, and uh huhs.
"So?" Sarah questioned the doctor as he turned off the machine.
"Come August you are going to be a mother," he turned to Matt, "and father of a baby boy!"
"Are you serious?" Sarah asked excitedly.
The doctor nodded.
"And everything's ok?" Matt questioned.
"Yep, everything looks as if it is going along smoothly."
Sarah looked at Matt, "Did you hear that, we're going to have another baby boy!"
Houston, TX:
Simon sat anxiously in Brianna's parents house. Hear them arguing in the kitchen. He hated to put Brianna in a rough place, but they loved each other. Didn't they? Had they done the right thing with getting eloped or should they have waited a while to see where their relationship took them. Was it so wrong to tell their families that they got married, what was the worst that could happen? All this ran through Simon's mind as he heard Brianna arguing with her parents in the kitchen.
"How could you do this without telling us first!?" Brianna's father screamed in an angry voice.
"I didn't think I would have to tell you it is my life after all."
"You are still our daughter and we deserve the right to know."
"Daddy." Brianna protested.
"I can't believe you would do this Brianna, haven't we taught you better than that?"
"Mom, dad! I don't see what your problem is! Simon's a good man, and plus we are already married!" Brianna paused for a moment after realizing what she had just said.
"Brianna you didn't?" Her father questioned.
She nodded.
"Brianna!" Her father said sitting down in the chair.
"Do Simon's parents know?" her mother questioned.
"No we didn't tell them."
"Thank God!"
"Why?"
"So we can have it annulled of course."
"Who ever said that Simon and I where getting a divorce, and why does it matter if Simon's family knows or not."
"His father's a minister isn't he?"
"Yes."
"And Christians don't agree with divorce, right?" her mother questioned.
"Yeah so?"
"Well there's no way that he would agree with a divorce."
"I never said I was going to get a divorce."
"Well you will if you want to stay in this family."
"Are you threatening me?"
"If you wanna look at it that way yes."
"I'm not going to get a divorce."
"Well in that case leave!"
"Fine I will!" she said leaving the kitchen and walking into the family room, "Come on we're going." She told Simon and with that they left.
Ruthie's school:
Sat at her desk tapping her pencil as her Spanish teacher passed out the test. She was so unsure of what to do. Should she take the answers and cheat? Or would she just fail the test and move on with her life. The questioned haunted her.
" Alright, you may begin," the teacher said and everyone started their test.
About half way through the period Lizzie tapped Ruthie on the shoulder.
"Are you sure you don't want them?" She whispered.
Ruthie nodded.
"Fine, suit yourself," she said turning back to her test.
" Lizzie?" she whispered.
" Yeah?"
"I'll have them."
"I knew you would," she said handing Ruthie the papers.
"Miss Camden, Miss Consgriff what is that?" She said walking over to the girls and taking the paper from Ruthie and looking at the paper as she walked back over to her desk, "Girls come up here please."
Houston, TX:
"You told them didn't you?" Simon questioned his wife.
Brianna nodded, "I'm sorry it just slipped."
"I thought you said you didn't want to tell anyone."
"I'm sorry, I swear it was an accident."
"And you told me I couldn't tell my family?" Simon questioned now getting angry.
"I'm sorry honey."
"Don't honey me," he said getting out of the car and slamming the door behind him.
"Where are you going," Brianna questioned following him.
" Home!"
"You mean in New York?"
"NO! Glenoak! I'm going to go see my family," he said in an outrage.
"How are you going to get there?"
"I'll take a cab to the airport! Just leave me alone!"
"Simon, I'm sorry!"
Glenoak:
"Daddy!" Eliot said running towards his father, "Where's mommy?"
" What's wrong with me," he said tickling him."
" Nothing," he said with a laugh.
Matt put his son down and took his hand, "Mommy's at home resting."
"Is mommy sick?" Eliot questioned.
Matt shook his head, "Just really tired, the baby makes her tired."
"Did you find out?"
"Find out what?"
"Am I going to have a little brother or sister?"
"I'm going to let mommy tell you," he said snapping Eliot into his car seat.
" Please daddy?" He asked as Matt buckled himself in.
"I told you I want to let mommy tell you."
Eliot looked at his father and gave him a pout.
"That won't work this time," Matt said looking at his son through the rear-view mirror.
" Fine!" Eliot said slumping back into his chair.
Ruthie's School:
Ruthie waited in the principals office waiting for her parents to arrive.
" Ruthie! There you are." Eric said entering the room, "We've been looking for you everywhere."
"Yep here I am."
"I heard what you did, I can't believe that you would do such a thing."
"I swear I didn't cheat!"
"But you were going to weren't you?"
"Yeah, but I didn't."
" That's because you didn't have a chance to am I right?"
Ruthie leaned back into her chair signifying defeat.
"Mr. And Mrs. Camden, please, sit," the principal said entering the room.
"I'm sorry to hear what Ruthie did," Annie told the principal.
"I'm sure there was some reason for it wasn't there Ruthie?" Eric questioned.
"Well you said that teens don't know how to use their head." Ruthie said quoting Eric.
"I never said that."
"Now look what you taught her." Annie told Eric, "Now she think she can blame all her actions on her brain."
"Never the less," the principal said continuing the session, "I'm going to have to suspend her for two days and she'll have to have detention for a month after she gets back, she will also be receiving a zero on the quiz."
"That seems a bit harsh," Mrs. Camden protested.
"It's school policy I'm sorry Mrs. Camden."
Annie nodded.
Matt and Sarah's house:
"So?" Eliot said running over to his mother.
"So what?"
"Is the baby a boy or a girl?"
Sarah smiled, "A boy."
"A boy," Eliot paused, "I'm going to be a big brother!"
Camden house:
It wasn't till 11 o'clock when Simon made it back to Glenoak. As soon as he got home he headed for his room.
" Simon?" Lucy questioned as Simon tip-toed through the kitchen, " Why are you home?"
"Can't a man get a simple hello?"
"I'm sorry, but seriously Simon, why are you home?"
"No reason, it's just I wanted to see all of you."
"Ha Ha, no really Simon."
" Brianna and I broke up."
Lucy smiled a little which caught Simon's attention.
" Luce?"
" Yeah?"
"Why are you smiling?"
"No reason."
"Well in that case I'm going to bed," He said and headed up the stairs.
He paused at the door for a moment before opening it. He opened it and within Brianna sat on the bed.
" Simon, we need to talk."
