OK…I decided since I did a REALLY good Disney chapter, I'm just not going to do another one, and skip ahead a little bit. I hope that's ok.
After almost two fun-filled weeks in Disney World, the Brewer family was waiting at baggage claim back home in California. As sad as they were to leave, they wanted to get home, and missed the rest of the family. The last of the bags came through, and Kevin picked them up, bringing them home. The flight got in at about 9pm and the kids were exhausted, because they went into the Disney parks earlier that day to ride a few rides before they got on the plane. Kevin dropped them off at home.
"Thanks so much for everything." Ruthie said as she shut the door, hugging her brother-in-law.
"No problem. Glad you had fun." He said, smiling.
"We'll tell you all
about it tomorrow. The kids are just exhausted." Martin said,
watching Maddie and Allie get out of the car sleepily and walk in the
house. He unbuckled Lauren and picked her up.
"Love you guys!
See you tomorrow night!" Kevin waved, as Ruthie shut the door
behind her husband. The kids immediately went to bed, and Martin went
downstairs, where Ruthie was unpacking dirty clothes, sorting them,
and putting them in separate baskets. She sighed, picking up another
one of Lauren's shirts, trying to scrub the stain out. Martin came
up behind her, wrapping his arms around her. "Why don't we go try
for that baby Mrs. Brewer?" he hinted and Ruthie sighed.
"Martin,
I'm tired of trying."
"What? We can't give up yet."
"Why
not?" she asked, walking upstairs.
"This is something we
both want badly. We can't. I can't. I want another baby with you
Mrs. Brewer."
"I do too, but I just don't think it's going
to happen."
"We can always keep trying." He said, winking.
"What harm is there in that? Not like you miscarried or anything."
She sighed. "I know…but still…"
"Come on Ruth." He
said. "We made three beautiful girls already."
"I know."
She said, smiling.
"Have I told you how
much I love you? And how much you mean to me?"
"I never mind
hearing it." She said and he nodded.
"I love you."
"I
love you too Martin." She said, kissing him. They walked into their
bedroom shutting their door behind them.
They awoke the next morning, as all three girls ran into their room.
"Hi mommy! Hi daddy!" they said, jumping on their parents.
"Hey girls!" Martin
said, hugging his daughters. "Still so tired?"
"No, but I
already miss Disney World." Maddie said, sighing.
"We'll go
back in a few years." Ruthie said, reassuringly.
"We're going to
grandma and grandpa's today." Martin said.
"Ok!" the girls
said happily.
"Daddy and I need
your help…can you unpack your stuff a little bit for me? I got the
clothes unpacked last night. But can you put things away for
me?"
"Sure mommy." The girls said, getting off of the bed
and going downstairs.
"I love our kids." Martin said,
smiling.
"Me too baby." She said, hugging him.
A month later…
Martin got home from work, and saw his daughters sitting on the couch, watching That's So Raven. He smiled, kissing the top of each of their heads.
"Hi girls." He said.
"Hi daddy." They said, looking up from the TV.
"Where's your mom?"
he asked.
"Upstairs." Allie said, turning her attention back
to the TV.
"Ok." he said, going upstairs.
"Ruthie! Baby! Where are you?" He called. She came out of the bedroom.
"You look beautiful today." He said, smiling.
"Why thank you." She smiled.
"And happy."
"Yes
I am. The girls and I had a great day. I love summer." She said,
kissing her husband.
"Me too." He said.
"Let's do
something tonight."
"Haven't you forgotten that we have
three little girls to take care of?"
"Mom and Dad said that
they can stay over at their house."
"Ok. That works for me.
What did you have in mind Mrs. Brewer?"
"Just maybe get pizza
and rent a movie? Nothing special."
"Oh it's just as special
as long as I get to spend some time with this beautiful wife of
mine." He said, kissing her again.
"Sounds great. Mom's
going to come get them in an hour."
"Ok." he said, and he
quickly changed his clothes, and then went downstairs and talked to
his daughters about their day, and then they left. Soon, the pizza
was delivered, and Martin and Ruthie ate on their bed, as they
watched Pearl Harbor, one of Ruthie's favorites because of Ben
Affleck, and one of Martin's because of the action. Once it was
done, they turned off the TV, and Martin wrapped her in his arms.
"I love you."
"I
love you too baby." She said, wiping a couple tears from her
eyes.
"What's wrong?"
She sat up, looking at him and smiling. "Remember the night we got back from Disney?" she asked.
"Oh yeah. That was
amazing baby." He said, kissing her again.
"I'm pregnant"
she blurted out, as silent tears fell. He gasped, shocked.
"Really? When'd you
know?"
"Two days ago."
"Oh baby!" he said, kissing
her again. "I'm going to be a daddy!" he said, and Ruthie
laughed. "Well…again." He said, kissing her and hugging
her.
"So you're happy?" she asked jokingly.
"Are you kidding me? ABSOLUTELY!" he said, grinning.
"Finally…after over
a year of trying." She said, laying down in Martin's arms.
"How
are we going to tell the kids?" she asked, obviously worried about
how their daughters would feel about having another sibling.
"Well
they better like it…cause if we want five kids…well, they'll
need to get used to having more siblings. We better hope it's a
girl, or that poor son of ours would feel very left out."
"I
know. Oh Martin…I couldn't be happier."
"Me either
Ruthie. I love you so much."
"I love you too." She said, closing her eyes.
"Ten years and three kids later, and we're still this much in love." He whispered to her, kissing the top of her head.
"I know. Pretty
amazing isn't it?" she asked, snuggling deeper into his arms and
laying her head on his chest.
He laid her on the bed, and laid
beside her, looking deep in her eyes. "I love you." He said,
kissing her lips gently. "And I love you." He said, kissing her
stomach and rubbing it with his hand.
Ruthie fell asleep, and
Martin lay awake, not being able to sleep after the exciting news
that his wife told him. He turned off the light and grabbed her iPod
off of the nightstand, and putting the ear buds in his ears. He
turned it on, and listened to the first song it came to.
I can stand with the weight of the world on my shoulders
I can fight with the toughest of the tough
I can laugh in the face of all my insecurities
Anytime, anywhere, anything
I'm strong enough
But when you're holding me like this
I'm carelessly lost in your touch
I'm completely defenseless
Baby, it's almost too much
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly
Falling in love
So let consequence do what it will to us
I don't care
Let the stars stand as witness to it all
Say the word and tonight I will follow you anywhere
I just can't pretend anymore
I'm too sturdy to fall
But when you're holding me like this
I'm carelessly lost in your touch
I'm completely defenseless
Baby, it's almost too much
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly
Falling in love
I am not afraid
Oh, I am not afraid
Cause when you're holding me like this
I'm carelessly lost in your touch
I'm completely defenseless
Baby, it's almost too much
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly
Falling in love
He smiled. This song fit her perfectly. He turned it off, putting it back on the nightstand, and he kissed her again, and ran his hand over her stomach, and fell asleep
Well there ya go! I know you all wanted her to get pregnant…so I totally skipped ahead! Hope you guys liked this!
