Whoo! Just got back from seeing POTC2 and I am feeling inspired to write for some odd reason...but,
Hey guys! Have you missed me? Nashville was amazing-thanks to all of you for your well wishes and prayers. Now…onto chapter 11…I'm trying to finish up here…I'm having problems coming up with ideas so I'm skipping ahead quite a bit. I hope that's alright. If not, too bad. Live with it. After a lot of debating with myself, I've come up with (what I hope is..) a good idea for this chapter…so REVIEW and let me know!

Ruthie did exactly what she needed to so that she got over the flu and kept the baby as well. The next four months flew by for the Brewer family.

Ruthie awoke and felt a sharp pain in her stomach as well as lower back. She sighed, looking at the clock-1:30am. She got up and went to the bathroom, then came back and got into bed. She smiled at the sight of Martin sleeping soundly. All of the sudden, she felt a wet spot on the sheets and winced as she felt a contraction.

"Honey. Wake up." She whispered, shaking Martin gently.

"Hmm? Ruthie? What's wrong baby?" He asked groggily, sitting up.

"The baby's coming, that's what."
"NOW! It's 1:30! Can't it just let me sleep?" He asked jokingly.

"Like it or not, I'm in labor and there's nothing we can do about it."
"Well let's go!" He said, kissing her and grabbing the bag. He put his arm around her waist, helping her out to the car.

"Wait." Ruthie said as Martin got in the car. "What about our other three daughters?"
"Oh. Oops." Martin said He opened his cell phone and called Kevin and Lucy's house.
"Hello?" answered a very tired Kevin.
"Kevin! It's Martin!"
"What do you want bonehead?"
"Haha very funny…Ruthie's in labor. Can you come stay at our house? We don't want to wake up the girls."
"Sure. I'll be over in a couple minutes."
"Ok. Bye." Martin hung up and looked at his wife. "How are you feeling?"
"Ok I guess." She said as another contraction hit. She grabbed Martin's hand as she breathed through the contraction. Kevin pulled up just as it was ending.

"Thanks for coming." Martin said, rolling down the window. "Just go back to sleep on the couch."
"Alright. When do you want me to bring the girls out?"
"I don't know. Just call me later."
"Ok. Good luck guys!" Kevin called as they pulled away.

9 hours later

Ruthie was still in labor at 10:30 that morning. She had been given the epidural as well as other medications, so she was feeling much better. The doctor came in, smiling at Ruthie and Martin.

"Well Ruthie...I checked your progress and you're dilated 9 centimeters, so you should deliver in the next hour or two."
"Thank you doctor." Martin said.

"I'll be back in about 10 minutes."
Ruthie sighed as the doctor left, and leaned her head back against the pillow. "Call everyone?" she suggested.

"Yeah. Sounds good." He said, pulling out his cell phone, calling their house.

"Hello?" Madison answered.
"Hi Maddie. It's dad."
"Hi daddy. How's mommy?"
"She's almost ready to have the baby, so tell Uncle Kevin that he can bring you out."
"Ok." She held the phone away. "KEVIN! WE CAN GO TO THE HOSPITAL!" she yelled.
Martin winced at the loud screaming in the phone.

"Yes Martin?" Kevin asked.

"Well didn't my daughter get the point across?" he asked jokingly.

"Should I call everyone else?"
"Yeah…don't forget my dad."
"Ok. We'll be out in about a half an hour?"
"Great. See you then."
"Ok. Bye." Kevin hung up. He looked at his nieces and smiled.

"Your mom's going to have the baby soon. I just need to call Grandpa Brewer and Grandma and Grandpa Camden and Aunt Lucy too." Kevin quickly made the phone calls, then piled the girls in their van and drove to the hospital.

They got there and went up to level 3, which was the maternity floor. They went and sat in the waiting room, and were soon joined by Simon, Sandy, Lucy, Eric, Annie, and all of the kids.
"How's Ruthie? Has anyone heard?"
"No we haven't…when we got here, they said it would be soon…they said she was pushing." Kevin said and Lucy nodded.
"Man…I'm glad I don't have to do that again." She said, laughing.

"Well…I do." Sandy said quietly.
"What? I thought we weren't going to tell them yet." Simon said, obviously shocked.

"I'm having another grandbaby?" Annie asked and Sandy nodded.

"Congratulations!" Everyone said, hugging them.

"I didn't want to take anything away from Martin and Ruthie...but we just couldn't keep it a secret any longer."
"How much longer do you have?"
"Well…it's March so I have about 7 months."
They continued talking and Martin came out, absolutely beaming.

"The baby's here!" He announced, and Maddie, Allie, and Lauren all came over and hugged him.

"Boy or girl?" Everyone asked.

"You'll find out in a minute…come on back everyone." He lead them all into Ruthie's room, and she was holding a sleeping baby.
"Hi honey." Martin said, kissing her. "I brought company."
"Hey guys." Ruthie said, smiling.

"How are you feeling?"
"Great."
"It's so cute! What is it?" Allie asked.

Maddie laughed. "A baby. Duh!" she said, laughing.
"No…I meant is it a boy or girl?"
"Yeah. Boy or girl?" Lucy asked.

"Boy or girl?" Everyone else asked, laughing.
Ruthie smiled at Martin. "Everyone. I would like you to meet our son, Nathaniel Andrew Brewer."

Sorry it's so short...But, it's a boy! Happy! Lol. like the name? A friend of mine just had a baby on the 12th and his middle name is Nathaniel and I really liked the name so I decided to use it. PLEASE review!
