I do not own 7th heaven or anything connected to it. I do own a demon possessed dog and you are welcome to her.
Ruthie's POV
I walked into the airport to only see Kevin waiting at my gate. Strange because Lucy promised that if I came home she would come to pick me up. The mystery was solved when Kevin led me not to baggage claim but three gates over.
"Who else are we picking up?" I asked since I was pretty sure I was the only family member not driving home. It is just too long of a drive for me. We arrived at the gate just in time to see Lucy hug a man who can only be described as tall, dark, and extremely handsome. The perfect cliché. But honestly I had never seen anyone that good looking before. It made me nervous. It made me even more nervous when he engulfed me in a very serious bear hug. Who is this guy?
Martin's POV
I was so glad to see Lucy waiting for me when I got into Glenoak. For some reason even now I always assume being alone with the reverend means that I am in for a mini sermon. Kevin was walking up and as I was shaking his hand I got a glimpse of the girl standing behind him. She was gorgeous. And even though she had changed a little, I knew right away that it was Ruthie. Something about the way she walked and stood. It's as if she never has to use words to express what is going on in her mind. However, it wasn't until I pulled back from hugging her that I realized she had no idea who I was. Had it been that long? It surprised me how much the idea of Ruthie not knowing who I was hurt me. It felt like heartbreak, but that didn't make sense because I was never in love with Ruthie. She's like a sister to me, always has been.
Third Person POV
"Well, that was a quiet ride home," Kevin stated as he walked into the kitchen and immediately grabbed an apple.
"I know, did you get the idea that there was something going on between those two? Like they are made at each other? Or maybe…?"
"No, Lucy forget it. You are not playing matchmaker with your sister and Martin?"
"Who said anything about matchmaking?" Lucy innocently.
"No one had to, I know you."
They quickly changed the subject as Ruthie and Martin walked in the door. As the only ones not coming for just the actual day, they had their choices of the empty rooms. Surprisingly there was little discussion about it, Ruthie took her old room and Martin took the room he had before Savannah was born.
Perhaps they should have taken a nap when they arrived, but instead they spent the time before dinner discussing where they lived and what they were doing. Jet lag caught up with Ruthie about half way through dinner when she fell asleep at the table.
"Don't worry, I'll carry her up. I was just about to go to bed myself." Martin said to the Camdens as he lifted Ruthie carefully so as to not wake her.
Next time: Martin tucks Ruthie in.
