Ruthie sat in the doctor's office for her check up and Martin was no where to be seen. She was about 4 months along and already tired of being pregnant. She rubbed her stomach hoping that Martin made it in time. As her name was called Martin ran through the door still in his stuff from baseball.

"I am so sorry. I like raced over here."

"It's okay, you're right on time." They followed the doctor into the exam room. Ruthie sat on the bed and Martin grabbed her hand. The doctor explained to them how delivery was going to go and that they should be ready to go at anytime.

Ruthie was ready to not to be pregnant anymore, it still amazed her how her mother did it 7 times. She couldn't even handle it this time around. It finally hit her that she was going to have a baby in 3 months and be married in 4. She couldn't wait to be married, she was happy that she was going to spend the rest of her life with Martin. Mac and Monica had moved out and into an apartment of their own. She wondered how long it was going to be until Mac popped the question.

They were converting Monica's room into the nursery and it was turning out quite nicely. Martin painted it after baseball practice and work. Ruthie still went to class and sometimes would go to work. She was surprised at how flexible the university was, she guessed it was because she was getting married.

"I really am sorry for being so late."

"Martin, you couldn't do anything about practice. Plus just think that was good practice just in case I go into labor and you're not there." They laughed as they walked to the car.

"Yeah I guess."

"I hate being pregnant."

"I don't like you being pregnant either, I mean you're mean and demanding."

"Like I wanted to be pregnant!"

"Well you were the one who wanted to have sex."

"But I didn't want to get pregnant."

"Why are we fighting?"

"I don't know." She got in the car and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Are you mad at me?"

"You called me mean and demanding."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't even bother apologizing. I don't care."

"Yes you do."

"I'm pregnant so of course I'm gonna be mean."

"I know and I put up with it." She just turned towards the window and watched the cars go by. She hated fighting with him but he was just an easy target. She couldn't wait till she had the baby. When they got home Ruthie went into their bedroom and sat on the bed and started crying. "Damn hormones." She said to herself and Martin just starred at her. "What are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at my very beautiful fiancé. This kinda reminds me of our first fight. I remember you were so mad me."

Flashback

Ruthie sat on Martin's bed watching him throw his stuff into various boxes spewed across his floor. She could feel the tears in her eyes and could feel her heart breaking with each thing he threw into the boxes. It had been a couple of weeks since she finally admitted her feelings for Martin.

She stood up from his bed and silently walked out. With each step she took a tear fell. She walked into her house and straight to her room not wanting to talk to anybody. She pulled her pillow to her chest and cried into the pillow. She was kicking herself from not telling Martin how she felt earlier but what hurt her most was him just watching her leave. He didn't even say goodbye and hug her, nothing.

She sat there on her bed for about 2 hours before her cell went off and of course it was Martin. She composed herself and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Ruthie when did you leave?"

"Um…let's see about 2 hours ago."

"Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?"

"You weren't paying attention to me, so I left. Why do you care?"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You're too wrapped up in you to realize it. I mean god Martin its like you're not my friend."

"I'm sorry that I have to get ready to go almost 3000 miles away for school and I don't have time for you. You're not the center of the universe!"

"But I at least thought that you would at least say goodbye. I mean were you planning on not telling me when you were leaving?"

"I didn't want to hurt you!"

"Stop yelling at me!"

"See you make everything about you, that's why I didn't want to tell you."

"One thing has absolutely nothing to do with the other. You just don't care anymore."

"Whatever, I don't have time for this drama."

"Fine Martin just forget all about me."

"That would be hard, I mean god Ruthie grow up!" He hung up the phone and Ruthie started crying all over again.

End of Flashback

Ruthie just looked at Martin with questioning eyes. She didn't know what the point of telling her that story.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is that we've been through much worse and come out just fine. We can do this; you just have to be strong."

"It's hard."

"I know but just think after the baby's born we'll be married."

"I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault and I love you."

"I love you too." She laid down and Martin left her to take a nap. He was madly in love with her and was ready for anything, he wasn't going anywhere.
