"Martin..." Ruthie began, sitting on the end of their bed. "Why do think I'm cheating on you?"
"Oh let's see. You were kissing Peter Petrowski in our driveway…maybe that's a dumb reason…"

"Don't get all smart with me, ok? I for one am very offended that you would even THINK that I'm cheating on you." She said, her voice breaking.

"Then what do you call that?"
"I call that Peter forcing himself on me."
"You didn't seem to be trying to get out of it." He said accusingly.

"He was in the driveway when I got home. He said that he wanted me back and he was in love with me. I told him that it was too bad because I'm in love with you and I have four children with you…hopefully six in the near future. And he didn't care and he kissed me."

Just then, the phone rang and Martin looked at the caller ID. "Oh look. It's Peter Petrowski." He said curiously, handing the phone to Ruthie who put it on speakerphone.

"What do you want Peter?" She asked angrily.

"Hey baby. I love you."
"Shut up Peter."
"Just because you said you didn't love me and you were in love with Martin earlier doesn't mean you can't love me."
"Yes it does. And thanks to you, Martin thinks I'm cheating on him." She said, crying as Martin's face softened. He always did that when she cried.

"Well then maybe he'll divorce you. As much as you claim you're in love with him, I know you want me."
"No I don't. stay away before I call the cops." She said, hanging up the phone. She wiped her eyes.

"You're impossible." She whispered. "If it's over, fine! Just say so!" She yelled, walking in the bathroom and slamming the door.

He quickly got up and went to open the bathroom door.

"Crap. Locked." He whispered, knocking.

"Let me in." he said gently.
"Go away. You don't believe me."
"Ruthie…just come out. Please."
"Fine." She said, unlocking the door and silently walking over to the bed, sitting down, tucking her hair behind her ears and wiping her eyes.

"Ruthie…"
"What?" she asked, looking down.

"I don't want a divorce. I love you more than anything."
"Then why didn't you believe me?"
"I guess it's just my jealousy kicking in. you know how I am."
"I know…I just didn't think it could get bad to that extent."

"I didn't either…but when I saw you kissing him…G-d that killed me."
"Technically it was him kissing me…but that's beside the point." She said, chuckling softly, attempting to lighten up the mood.
"Babe, look at me." She said as he turned his head. "Martin…honey…I love you. You and only you. Why do you doubt it?"
"I don't know…I guess I feel like I don't deserve it."
"You're the only one I want for the rest of my life Martin. It's been an interesting sixteen years together…and true, this was our biggest fight EVER…"
"Yes…it definitely was." He agreed.
"Why would I want to rededicate our vows almost a year ago if I wasn't totally in love with you? I am head over heels for you Brewer…probably more so now than all of those years ago."
"Yeah. We have four kids to prove it." He said, laughing.

"Promise me…next time something bad happens, talk to me about it. I would never cheat on you, so you don't have to worry about that. Ok?"
"Ok. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to overreact."
"I know you didn't. I'm sorry too."
"It's just that…when I saw you and him, I felt like when you were dating Vincent…I just wanted to…"
"Kill him?"
"That and so much more. Ruthie I love you. That will never change. I hope you're never an idiot like me and doubt it. I'm a moron to doubt it."
"I'll be in love with you forever Martin."

"Are we ok?" He asked.

"More than ok." she said, smiling.

"I love you so much."
"I love you too." She said, kissing him passionately, wrapping her arms around his neck, laying down beside him and shutting off the light.

The perfect end to a not-so-perfect day.

Yeah, I know that it's kinda short. But because my reviewers are SO amazing and have given me MORE reviews than any of my other stories, I updated for you! I know many of you are shocked by what happened, but sorry! I needed a twist! But it's all better now :)…the story was just becoming way too boring for me…suggestions? Otherwise I'm ending it next chapter.
