You all already know that I do not own the 7th heaven or its characters...
So ok this is my first Martin/Ruthie fanfic and it is a bunch of fluff...
Ok read review and enjoy thanks...
Ruthie's POV
"I hate him so much, how could he have done this to me? How could he have left just like that, without saying goodbye?" Ruthie cried out. What I am saying
I could never hate him, I love him, and I thought he loved me. I thought I would marry him and have children with him, grow old with him. Wow was I wrong.
He is engaged to Sandy, there is no way he is coming back now. Ruthie remembered Simon telling her how close Sandy and Martin had gotten, and he
thought there would be wedding bells in their future What a jerk, Simon who tells their sister that the love of her life is getting married to some other girl in the future.
More tears poured down Ruthie's face.
Lucy looked on helplessly, there was nothing she could do to heal her baby sister's broken heart I am so sorry Ruthie, I wish I could take all that pain away
"I know it hurts but the pain will ease eventually" Lucy said with a worried look.
"Thank you very much Reverend, now can you go find my sister Lucy, you know the one who wouldn't talk to me as if I was just another troubled teen walking
into the curch." Ruthie choked out through sobs
"Ok, Listen...He was your first love, and trust me when I say that there will be much more heartache. However, someday. you will find the one that won't make
you cry, and that you want to get up every mourning for, and it will all be worth it. Maybe you should get some sleep, Simon and Rose get married today,
and we all ill need or strength for that" Lucy stated with a hint of anger, everyone knew Lucy was totally set against this marriage.
Ruthie continued to sob.
"It does get better Ruthie, honest" Lucy finished as the tears entered her eyes
Ruthie looked at her, through red puffy eyes, she could tell Lucy was worried. She could tell everyone was worried, she was worried. It had been five months,
and he had not called, written, emailed, sent a carrier pigeon, nothing. She couldn't help but think had forgotten about her, maybe he found a new life with
Sandy and Aaron, maybe he had decided I don't fit in his life anymore. At this thought new tears sprang from her eyes, and she threw herself back on the bed.
Lucy quietly slipped out of the room, knowing her sister needed time alone
God Ruthie snap out of it, It is never gonna happen, Get over it.
"I can't...I am still in love...with Martin Brewer" Ruthie cried as she drifted to sleep.
"Ruthie, hey Ruthie"
"Go away, I don't want to see anyone right now"
"Ruthie, please wake up, I need to talk to you" Wait I know that voice, why...
Ruthie slowly opened her eyes, OH MY G-D, what is he doing here
"Martin? What are you..." He looks so good, why does he have to look so good?
"I had to see you, I just found out that Aaron isn't mine, Sandy lied..." Ruthie stared at him like he was crazy
"But...what?"
"Sandy finally agreed to the paternity test, she got the results about two hours ago, and as soon as I found out I jumped in my car and drove as fast as I could,
I had to tell you first."
"But...wait... let me think...you're not Aaron's father?" Ruthie held her head, she was trying to take it all in, but it was just so confusing.
"No, I am not the Father." YES. YES. YES.
"But then who is?" who cares. you have another chance with the love of your live.
"I probably shouldn't tell you. I...but I guess you have the right to know after all... It's Simon, but..."
"You know what I don't care"
Martin gave her a shocked then disappointed look, Ruthie looked confused then it hit her.
"Oh...NO!...I meant It doesn't matter who the father is.. it's not you!" Ruthie stated barely containing her excitement.
Martin's face immediately picked up.
"Ruthie, I didn't come back just to tell you that news, I wanted to tell you that, I have about been thinking alot about you and I discovered that...well...I love you
Ruthie Camden, and well, I wanted to ask you if, well, would you be my girlfriend" YES. YES. YES. YES.
She stared at him shocked at his confession.
"Yes, of couse, Martin, I love you so much."
He leaned in, but stopped an inch from her face
"Ruthie" just kiss me already
"Yeah"
"Ruthie...Ruthie...Ruthie? NO NOT NOW!
Ruthie begrudingly opened her eyes No Martin. No Kiss. Ruthie had been woken up from these dreams before, but never had it felt as real and fake at the
same time. The real world sucks.
"Mom, sent us up here.."
"To tell you to get up.."
"And get ready.."
"For the wedding.."
Ruthie looked over at Sam and David
"Tell her I don't feel well." Ruthie pulled the sheet over her head and closed her eyes quickly hoping she could slip back into the wonderful dream she was so
abruptly taken from
"That won't work today, It is your brother's wedding day tomorrow and we have the rehearsal today, don't you want to be a part of it" Annie said pulling the covers off
her youngest daughter.
"Not really" Ruthie snapped back
"Ruthie, I know what you have been throught these past few months, but Simon is getting married today and even though you are hurting now, you will regret not
going in the future, and we will regret not having you there, so please get out of bed and come eat breakfast with the family." She is right, you know she is stop
being miserable, get out off your but and go eat! because I can guarantee that Martin is not sitting under the covers at home mourning over losing you, I mean he is
the one that left. He didn't seem to care enough to stay, why should you cry over him. YEAH!
Ruthie looked at her mother and nodded.
"I will be down in a little while I just want to take a shower and change."
Annie looked disbelieveing for a second and then nodded and pushed Sam and David out of the room.
Ruthie slowly pushed herself out of the bed and walked over to the mirror, She laughed at her reflection What happed to me there was a time when guys called
me "sexy" now I look like I haven't slept in a month
Flashback
"Hey...why don't you change you mind about that church thing and go...i'll try to find some guy to introduce you to."
"Really..like who." There is only one guy I want to go with and I am looking at him
"I don't know, but there are more guys at school than Jack who would go out with you, don't you think."
Ruthie shrugged
"I guess, so like someone on the baseball team..Not Mac, I don't wanna go out with Mac."
"and I don't think you should go out with Mac..He's too old."
"He's not too old but I already know him..I wanna go out with somebody more like..."
"Jack...Yeah I know, But maybe if you weren't so...uh..focused on Jack..you could find a guy that you like and you parents like" actually I was gonna say someone
like you
"My parents don't have to like him."
"No, but..It wouldn't hurt."
"I guess, but he has to be good looking popular and..hot." You would be the perfect choice
"Hot" Martin said with a shrug
"Yeah...you know sexy"
"Why do you want someone whos sexy" Clearly uncomfortable with the direct thier conversation had turned why is he getting wierd
"There's nothing wrong with being sexy..somepeople even think I'm sexy"
"Well..why do you want people to think your sexy" Is he jealous?
"Why not.. people think you're sexy"
"No they don't"
"Ha..yes they do"
"Well...I'm not"
"Well..Ya are" you really are, and I can't believe you can't see it
"Ok..Look, I'll bring a guy for you to meet, a guy I think you'll like...I'm no judge on wether a guy is...um..'sexy'..but I think I can find a better date for you that Jack"
"Alright..fine..I have nothing else to do." the only better date than Jack would be you.
Flashback ends
Martin's POV
Martin looked at his watch, he only had an hour to do laundry and get ready for practice, he had just finished a small percentage of his homework and still had much to do.
Lets see..I have to pick up Aaronafter practice, then Sandy comes to pick him up at 4pm, I have work at 5pm, I get out at 1am and then I can finish up the
rest of my homework, that should only take me a couple hours, so I should be done by the time classes begin...I feel like I am going to die.
He shook his head, He hadn't slept much since well what's today, Tuesday May 1st 2006, and how old is Aaron than add nine months ok so a little less than 17 months, but
it has been worse since I left Glenoak, since I left...Ruthie...In short I am exhausted, and I miss my family and friends, especially Ruthie. G-d how I miss her.
He picked up the phone and dialed numbers randomly, It rang a few times then
"H-Hello..." The farmilar voice echoed over the phone Why does she sound different? Like she has been crying?
Martin was ripped from the phone by a loud knocking
"Hello?...Is someone there?"I should say something
"Martin...man are you in there?" Said the voice on the other side of the door
"M-Martin" she choked out. "Martin..is...that..you?" Uh..what do I do now
"Hello..?"
"Open up man. It's Mike"(AN: Have no clue where that name came from jus go with it)
Martin quickly hung up on Ruthie, and walked to the door, mentally scorning himself for doing that to her What did I do? I knew that she liked me and once again I screw up.
Martin opened his door to his teammate.
"Hey, What took you so long I was knocking for like 5 minutes I saw the light on so I assumed you were home, I was about to give up, something up."
"Nah, what's up?"
"I came to get you for practice and if we don't hurry we'll be late."
"Let's go"
"cool"
Martin sighed as he closed the door.
Martin didn't pay much attention at practice, He was glad he didn't give the coach a reason to yell at him. He realized too late as ball whizzed right past his head
"Brewer!" Martin look over at the middleaged man standing on the baseline.
"Uh..yeah coach?"
"Where's your head?"
"Uh...Sorry coach..I wasn't really paying attention"
"I know that, if you were you might of caught that ball. For all you know that could have let the winning run in at the championship, 10 laps"
"What?"
"Maybe that will keep your head in the game."
Martin waited for the coach to walk away before rolling his eyes and stating his laps around the field. He could hardly finish one but he continued.
As Martin finished his laps, he couldn't stop thinking about how much he disliked the coach at the particular moment. Great now I am Late to pickup Aaron.
This day gets better and better
"You're late, Martin"
"I know...coach made me stay after and run laps, but I am here now so... " Martin said with a bit of an edge to his words.
"Ok...well I gave him a bottle about an hour ago, he just fell asleep, but he had a nap earlier so he might not be asleep too long, and I will be back at.."
"At 4pm to pick him up..I know Sandy. This is not my first time with him." Sandy nodded as she handed Aaron to Martin.
"Fine..listen Martin...if you want to talk to her, just call her. I know she wants to hear from you."
"Who?"
"Ruthie...who else, I know she was your bestfriend, I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have my best friend with me throughout all of this."
"You have no clue what you're talking about so, why don't you just go, or you will be late, I got it from here" He snapped back at her.
"Simon told me that she has been a wreck since you left, and..."
"Just go, get out."
"Martin, I thought we were going to try being friends..."
"Sandy...I don't want to talk about Ruthie..ok so...you're gonna be late for the rehearsal."
"You and Aaron can come, you were invited too."
"No, thanks. I just think that it would be better if I stayed away, ok go have fun, Aaron and I will be fine."
"Ok" Sandy nodded as she walked out the door
What did she mean when she said Ruthie was a wreck, Ruthie is the strongest girl I know, she would never fall apart because of some guy. But you're not some guy, you were
her bestfriend and you hurt her. Yeah but that wouldn't just make her crumble, would it?
"Martin...get a hold of yourself...you are talking to yourself, you are going to go crazy." he mumbled to himself as he grabbed the remote, but it didn't help he was lost in his thoughts.
Sandy's POV
As Sandy left Martin's apartment she ran to her car just as her phone rang
"Hello?"
"Hello, Sandy Jameson? It's Dr. Newman"
"Yes, Dr. Newman Hi."
"Ms.Jameson, we have just recieved the results of the tests from awhile ago, and I was calling to ask if you were going to pick them up, if not they will be destroyed."
Sandy knew exactly who the doctor was, and what results he was talking about
"Dr. Newman, I already got those results."
"I am sorry, to have to tell you, but we recently discovered that there had been a glich in our systems, and some of the results may have been mistaken, we retested all
of the samples, multiple times to be sure, we just recieved the new results. Would you like to pick them up, or should we..."
"Oh, yes I will be down to pick them up shortly. Bye"
She hung up only to dial another number
"Hello.."
"Hey, Simon it is Sandy, I will be a little late ok?"
"Hey...um..I was gonna call you, I was thinking...and well..I think that maybe you shouldn't come, I mean Rose, has been...well...she is not very happy when it comes
to you right now, she hasn't really accepted the fact that..."
"That we slept together before you guys got together, come on Simon, tell her that was like 16 months ago, she has you now, i mean your getting...m-ma..."
"Married..I know but..."
"Ok, I won't come...I have to be somewhere anyway...Bye Simon"
"Sandy..I..."
Sandy didn't want to hear anymore, she hung up the phone and made her way to the doctor's office.
