Chapter 2:

A/N I posted this like 7 hours ago and I already had like 3 reviews you people make everyday better. Okay well thanks for the feedback some really good ideas. So thanks to everyone. And on with the story.

Disclaimer: Still own nothing never will I'm sure I'll get over it.

'Coming to the kitchen when more then half the family was home is always an adventure' thought Ruthie. 'You never know who's going to be bumped into, who's going to drop something (most likely the twins) and who's going to randomly share some information just like at this time Matt and Sarah were.

"Um, since most of our families here and we figure that the rest will be here in a few days time we'll give our little announcement now." Sarah got up smiling and then said "I'm Pregnant. Well just found out really but I'm in my second month now." 'See always something exciting happens when almost all the families home" Ruthie thought jumping up and giving her sister in law and brother a hug.

"Oh, that's so exciting." Annie was laughing with tears streaming down her eyes. "Who would have though that our oldest would be the last to have a baby?" She asked Eric as they both reached to hug their children. "Oh well you know these two Mom they were always working., impossible to reproduce when your full schedules working." Ruthie told her mother laughing.

Even Martin was hugging them, as he was as close to family as there could be. "That's really good news you two" Lucy bumped into him. "Okay, my turn, I am so excited for you guys. Sarah any help you want I'm here you know last mother's perspective and all. This is so exciting, so does that mean you're moving back to Glenoak?"

"Oh, no we couldn't do that. We both have jobs but when the spring rolls around we'll be here for awhile. We both want you all Sarah's family as well as you all to be there when the baby's born and we both thought the best place to have a baby is in Glenoak where we were both born."

Annie was practically crying when she heard that and reached to hug them again. "That means we'll have you both for at least the whole Summer of next year just the way the families meant to be."

"Well that was exciting news, wasn't it?" Ruthie was talking to Martin on his dad's couch later on that night. They knew the rules made by the Reverend Camden and Ruthie's mom they were allowed out till 11:00 but after that they had to be at either Martin's house with his dad home or at The Camden house with almost everybody home. Tonight they were sitting on Martin's couch at 11:10, with his dad in the next room.

"Yeah it definitely was, that's so cool and won't you be happy to have another baby in the house." He said with a snort. "Oh ha, ha" Ruthie said dryly "well Sarah's nicer then Lucy is under stress I'm sure she'll be fine." He laughed and then said "Yeah but I definitely remember Lucy being fine and happy until she was put on bed rest. So let's hope for your sake that Sarah isn't put on bed rest too."

"Yeah let's hope." She laughed and then leaned into kiss him and said into his mouth "Martin, you're still coming to graduation right?"

"Of course I am why would you think I wasn't?" She shrugged, "I don't know, I just wanted you to say you were." Martin tried to hold in his laughter and said "Well I'm coming and I'll be at the party at your house afterward." He laughed this time and reached down and brought her into a hug. "Plus, I'll dance with you as much as you want and I'll help set up."

She laughed and hugged him all the tighter. "Plus, you're getting me a present. Right?" All of a sudden he got more serious. "Yeah, I definitely got you a present."

'Okay, Martin's getting all weird again.' He had been doing this all of a sudden for the past month. They'd be joking and then she'd mention this party or mention graduation or this present he supposedly got her and he'd turn deathly serious.

"Martin it's like 11:30 my parent's will probably want me home soon." He nodded and got up to get the phone. She called her house and when her mom answered she told her that they'd be leaving Martin's in five minutes and they'd be home really soon. So they got up and left for the drive home.

He walked to the door and kissed her goodnight and then said goodbye till tomorrow morning. "I love you Ruthie." He said and then she replied "I love you too Martin goodnight." She said stepping into her house and closing the door behind her sighing contently.

"Ruthie, good your home. Where were you?" She looked at her brother-Simon- and laughed. " I was at Martin's and good to see you too Simon, how's life?" He looked at her and gave an award winning smirk. "Life's good, really good. Hey, you know what's hard to imagine? The girl who I grew up with, the one I was closest to in the whole family is graduating high school." She laughed and gave her brother a hug. "Yeah, definitely hard to imagine. That's what me and Martin were talking about today. How does the whole family feel to have their baby sister going to college."

"Probably fine, you were the annoying one." He was smiling. "Hey! That's not true." He laughed "See annoying, No they're probably all fine with it if only because you'll be so close to home." Ruthie was going to the same college as Martin surprisingly Martin being there was only one of the many reasons. The school she was going to had the best program in the state, for trying out many different things. It was close to home, her parents wouldn't have a chance to miss her as much and she knew she'd miss her family so it was easier to be close to home even if she was staying at the dorms.

"Oh, Mary and Carlos called. I forgot to tell you they'll be in with Charlie on Sunday." Since Mary and Carlos reconciled. life seemed to be a little easier for everyone. Her parent's weren't always worried and they could see both their daughter her great husband and their grandchild all at the same time. Something that made the two of them ecstatically happy.

"Oh great, so the whole family will be here by the end of the weekend?" He nodded. "You know it's cool, I'm looking forward to the whole family being home. We haven't had everyone for a really long time this is going to be fun."

"Ruthie, you're graduating that's why we'll all be here. We have to watch our baby sister graduate. Lucy's been excited for weeks, Mom can barely look at you and not start to tear, Dad's been tired trying to get everything done so he can spend the full day with you, Matt and Sarah and Mary and Carlos are only coming home because of you. We're all really proud of you, Martin included in that."

"Thanks Simon." She gave her brother a hug "I think I'm going to go to bed, I'm kind of tired today was exciting. Goodnight."

She walked up the stairs to her room and put on some very soft sounding music and laid down on her bed. She looked all around and had a complete daydream imagining the first time her and Martin kissed again. She was happy to remember that time, but she was happier when she realized so much more of that was still to come.

As she fell asleep she thought of how close school was to being over, how her whole family would be here this week and how soon she'd be in college with Martin. With those happy thoughts running through her head, she fell asleep.
