The Next Day
"Ruthie what are you doing here" Martin opened the door to his apartment to see Ruthie standing at the doorway.
"I came to talk to you." Ruthie said.
"About what? If it's about Sandy-then no, you made her cry Ruthie."
"Well, it's not about her. It's about you and Aaron. I want to see living proof that Aaron is your biological son." Ruthie said stubbornly.
"Ruthie, he is. I trust sandy" Martin slams the door in her face.
She knocked on the door again and pushed hard to open it. It opened.
"But I don't. And besides, are you scared? Are you scared that Aaron isn't yours? Do you think that Sandy lied to you?"
"Sandy did NOT lie." Martin opened the door "Now Leave."
"I AM NOT LEAVING! It won't even take long. Besides, I already scheduled an appointment for you. I just want to know- that's all" she tried to hide the grimace.
"YOU WHAT! Well I am not going. He's mine."
"Just come on. You have nothing to lose if you trust Sandy that much. Wouldn't you do this for a best friend? Fine…Sandy can come along as well, if that's what you want!" Ruthie said not trying to hide her grimace this time.
"Ruthie...I trust her now leave." He said in an exasperated tone. "He is m-i-n-e!"
"Hey, what's going on Martin? What's she doing here?" Sandy clearly hadn't forgotten last nights argument.
"To prove that you a liar, Sandy Jameson." Ruthie said.
"Excuse me? That I'm a WHAT!"
"That's right- a liar. Prove to me that Aaron is Martin's son." Ruthie said nastily.
"He is Martins son" Sandy said she was pretty mad. "We're not getting a DNA test!"
"You know what Ruthie, fine! If you really don't trust either of us, we'll come. But this is ridiculous! Aaron's my son."
"So you say…but maybe little miss innocent lied to you." She threw Sandy a nasty look.
"Yeah, Martin. What is there to lose? Just watch Ruthie, just wait and watch."
"Martin and Aaron Brewer" the nurse who was wearing a yellow shirt said.
Martin followed the nurse into the doctor's room. As he did he glared at Ruthie.
"Ok we will call with the results soon" the nurse said.
"Thanks." Martin said.
5 DAYS LATER
"Ruthie time for school." Annie comes in.
"I am sick." Ruthie replied.
"Fine" Annie walked and took the kids to school. Ruthie jumped out of the bed and hopped on the bus and went to Martin and Sandy's house. She opened their mail box and found the Paternity tests. By now it was 11 and Ruthie had to work fast- she pulled out her lap top and made an exact copy of the forms and even copied their logo from the internet that she got the day before. She copied everything except for the real results. Instead of writing "DNA matched" she wrote "DNA was not matched." She printed the imitation out with her new portable printer and seled it inside of a new envelope.
Later
"The results came, Sandy." Martin opened the mail box. He opens it. "Ruthie was right- Aaron's not mine." Martin shoved the papers at Sandy.
"What! What do you mean?" She looked at the papers. "No, this isn't right! You're Aaron's father! You have to believe me!"
His cell rings "Hi Martin its me Ruthie."
"Hey Ruthie..." Martin said.
"How are you?" she asked
"I'm good…why?" Martin didn't want to tell Ruthie his news just yet.
"Did the results come?" Ruthie asked.
"Umm yeah…" Martin responded. "Turns out that you were right...Aaron is Simon's kid."
"What will happen?" Ruthie asked.
"I'm not sure..." Martin said not really knowing what to say.
"Will you break up?" Ruthie asked hopefully.
"Ruthie, not to be rude or anything but this isn't a great time," he said watching Sandy.
"Fine." she hung and did a happy dance.
"Sandy…did you know about this? Did you know that Aaron's not my son!" Martin asked trying to keep his voice calm.
"Martin you have to believe me." Sandy said in tears. "I swear…"
"Who am I supposed to believe...solid facts, or what you're telling me?" Martin inquired.
"I swear he is yours!" Sandy said. "FINE" she threw the ring at him and ran off.
"Sandy...oh god! What the heck is going on!" Martin looked up waiting for god to give him an answer.
"FINE ...DONT BELIVE ME! MARTIN DONT COME NEAR ME ANYMORE"
"Hey Martin…sorry the baby is not yours. Really it must hurt. I am sorry Martin. Now why we get together? Come on martin, you know we're meant for each other" she flirts.
"Ruthie, I think you're jumping into things don't you think? I just found out that I don't have a kid anymore and I just broke up with my fiancé."
"Let's go get some pizza." Ruthie said. "Come on, let's go. Let's go on a date."
"Ruthie, look- we're just friends. I need some time to think about this. But we can go get Pizza as just friends." Martin said.
N- Rings the bell
"Come In!" Sandy yelled from inside. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying.
N- "Hey, I'm Natalie! I live next door. I saw a young woman going through your mail box this morning."
"Oh, really. And- and could you please describe this woman to me please?" Sandy asked
N- "Brown curly hair…short."
"Oh, I see…Thank You Natalie." Sandy said with a smile forming on her face.
"Sure"
Martin's cell rang. "Hello."
"Hey it's me, Sandy. And please don't hang up...I really need to talk to you." Sandy said her voice filled with excitement.
"Fine talk." Martin said.
"Ok, well I just got an interesting visit from our neighbor, Natalie. She says that she saw a short curly brown haired someone at our mailbox early in the morning. Any ideas?"
"OMG RUTHIE CAMDEN! I will be right home." Martin said quickly.
"See, I told you! I'm glad that you still trust me, baby. I wouldn't ever lie to you like that." Sandy said calmly.
"I can't believe you did this! I was the father right now give the right test results Ruthie Camden!" Martin shouted!
"What! I didn't do a thing!" she tried to say innocently.
"I know you did I will just call and get a new copy." Martin left extremely mad.
"FINE! BUT I JUST DID THIS BECAUSE I KNOW YOU LOVE ME!" she screamed back to his retreating back.
"Hey, Sandy." Martin said quietly.
"Hey, so little miss innocent tried to pull a fast one on us, did she?" Sandy said.
"Yeah…she tried to."
"I knew it! Look, if you want further proof that Aaron is your son, call the nurse for new results. But I would never lie to you." she exclaimed.
"I trust you…sorry about before." He said.
"It's okay...except I just need to know one thing- Where did my ring go?" she laughed.
"It's in my pocket." He takes it out.
