"We should go inside!"Jordan said.
"I know, I am just.."
"Hey, I am here for you!"
"I know, just..I was always the clever one and never made stupid things like this..."
"Isn't it too late to regret that? About 3 month..?"He smiled down at her."You shouldn't have fear of them, I am the one who should be affraid of their reaction..."
"I won't let them hurt you!"Ruthie said kissing him. She let him go just in time, when Lucy opened the door.
"Ruthie, we thought you won't come!"she looked at the man standing next to her sister.
"Jordan?"she asked surprised."What are you doing here?"
Lucy somehow had a bad feeling to say that."Excuse me, just come in, you are welcome in our house!"she smiled and stepped aside while the two walked inside the house.
Ruthie headed to the living room of the Nayloss' and stopped in the opened door. Everyone was there. Her whole family. Parents, sisters, brothers, sisters- and brother-in-laws, nieces cousine's, friends of the family.
"Hello, Ruthie!"everyone greeted her.
"Look, who has come with her!"Lucy appeared with Jordan.
"Jordan!"Mary looked at him surprised.
"Well, I...We have to tell you something!"Ruthie started.
Eric froze at this words. We... just like Mary said that when she appeared with Carlos long ago. His little princess grew up and has someone. Is she married? Like Mary was then.
"What do you mean with WE?"Annie asked near to loosing her nerves.
"Just sit down, everyone who has place!"Ruthie tried to joke.
Ruthie looked up at Jordan. He smiled down at her and held her shoulders.
"We are expecting to have a baby in 7 month!"she said."And we are going to marry soon!"she added knowing that's what her parents wanted to hear.
"Of course you will!"Eric started but this time Annie was calmed.
"Eric!"she said.
None was able to react different to that news. Everyone just stood there and starred at the couple. Jordan about 9 years elder than Ruthie.
"Don't just stay in the door!"Lucy found her voice."Sit down!"she said. But she was only able to do that, nothing more. No smile, no hugs, no congrats..
Ruthie was in the kitchen with Lucy about half an hour later.
"Say something!"Ruthie said.
"I can't! I mean I am happy for you to find someone, but Jordan?"
"He is a great guy you know it! And he is a grat father! He has twins, they are 19 and they are great girls. They didn't liked me first, but they saw that we love each other. And now they are happy to have a little brother or sister soon."
"19?"Lucy starred at her sister.
Eric stood next to Jordan and thought about what to say to him. He had several thoughts, like I'll kill you or, how did you imagine that doing that to my daughter. But he couldn't.
Annie stepped to them.
"Jordan! We need to talk!"she said.
"Of course, Mrs. Camden!"he nodded awaiting the worst.
"You can call me Annie, I guess!"she halfsmiled, but it was more than Jordan would expect. They walked into Lucy's office to be alone for a while.
"I want to know.."Annie paused."Do you love my daughter or you just want to marry her because she is pregnant?"
Jordan starred at his future mother-in-law.
"I have to say I was never expecting our relationship going this far. But i do love Ruthie. First i was amazed how smart she was. We met in the college when I waited for Vanessa, one of my daughters. we began to talk and it ended in..."
Annie watched him shocked."Don't tell me, you brought her in bed on the first date?"
Jordan shook his head."No, it ended in a restaurant where we talked about different stuff, like being alone and being happy with that. It started like a friendship a good friendship. But within a month it changed. I realized that I was waiting to see her, so I went to pick up my daughter everyday, just to see Ruthie. I not only waited I was addicted to our meetings. If i ddin't saw her one day I began to worry about stupid things like, have I said something wrong to her, or was something happening to her, and such things."
Annie sighed.
"You must know I don't like you to be with my youngest daughter. You are more than 5 years elder..."
"9 exactly"Jordan nodded."But it doesn't matter 'cause I love her. Not only because she is beautifull. The most women I met were beautifull but nothing special, she was always smart and inteligent. That is what makes her that important for me!"
"If she won't be pregnant, would you marry her?"
"Someday yes. I know you won't like if i would marry her after 4 months..."
"Maybe after a year or more..."Annie said."Well, if you really love her as much I expect I have nothing against you. But don't forget. We are a big family. Everyone takes care for the other. If you would hurt her...You must count on a big revenge!"she smiled.
"I'll remember that"Jordan smiled back.
