"You're pregnant!" she yelled excitedly.

"Shhh…don't want Martin to hear…"

"Oh right. Sorry."

"It's ok."

"But you're pregnant!"

"I know…"

"What's wrong?"

"It's just that…Martin and I have only been married for a month…"

"But you've loved each other for over five years…"

"True but still…I was sort of hoping it could just be the two of us for a few years."

"Ruthie…having a baby…" Lucy sighed. "It only adds to the joy and happiness. And believe it or not, you guys will actually grow closer once the baby's here. Kevin and I did."

"Yeah…I guess you're right."

"It could be the flu though…"

"No I don't think so…I guess I'm gonna be a mommy!" She said, sounding pretty excited. She gave Lucy a hug.

"But you know…the tests aren't always right."

"Yeah I know…but Martin just wants a baby so bad…"

"Yeah. You gonna tell him?"

"Yeah…I think I will tonight. So we'll probably just hang out over here. You CAN'T tell anyone that I might be pregnant…"

"Ok…but why didn't you tell Martin first? Like…before me?"
"I don't know…I guess because you've been through it twice and you're going through it again."

"Well I'm really excited for you. But I have a doctor's appointment today…"

"Do you think that maybe I could go and if they have time I could get tested?"

"Yeah…I'll call right now."

Ruthie went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and comb her hair. Lucy was just getting off the phone when she came out of the bathroom.

"Well?" She asked her sister

"Yeah…they're not real busy…they said you can go in first real quick and then I'll go in…doesn't take very long to test."

"Yeah…ok. Do you mind if I run to get some groceries while you're in the doctor?"

"Sure…no problem. Let's go." Lucy went home real quick to tell Kevin and Martin that she was going to the doctor and that Ruthie was taking her because she had to go shopping anyways. She got into Ruthie's car a few minutes later.

"Well?"

"They don't suspect a thing…"

"They're so naïve sometimes…"

"I know. But that's why we love them right?"

"Yeah. I guess." Ruthie laughed and drove off.

A couple hours later, Ruthie and Lucy walked into the garage apartment. They set Ruthie's bags on the table and they hugged each other.

"Thank you so much Luce."

"No problem. Love you! Call me if you need to talk later!"

"Ok…love you too. Bye!"

Ruthie sighed, and started to make dinner. She made chicken fettuccini alfredo and breadsticks for her and Martin. Just as she was finishing, Martin came up into the apartment.

"Mmm…smells good! You shouldn't be cooking if you're sick though…"

"I'm fine."

"You sure?"

"Yeah…let's eat." She grabbed the plates and set them down on the table. They ate together, talking about the events of the day.

"So…what'd you do today honey?" Ruthie asked her husband.

"Well…basically hung out with Kevin, Savannah, and Nichole until Lucy came home and told me to come home…so I did. We colored…it was fun. What have you been up to?"

"Not much…hung out with Lucy all day."
"That's fun." He paused for a second. "You haven't been talking to me much today..what's going on?"

"Nothing…I'm fine."

"Babe..you know you can talk to me about ANYTHING right?"

"Yeah…"

"Ok…how about I clean up and you go get ready for bed and then we'll have some ice cream and watch a movie?"

"Yeah…that sounds great." She left the table, but came back a few seconds later. She wrapped her arms around her husband's neck. He looked up at her and kissed her.

"I love you…more than anything. I hope you know that." Ruthie said, kissing his cheek, then leaving to change. He quickly cleaned off the table, and put the dishes in the dishwasher. Ruthie put on her grey sweatpants and a pink t-shirt, and put her hair in a ponytail. She grabbed her pink fuzzy slippers and put them on her feet. Martin put on his navy blue sweatpants and a white t-shirt. Ruthie went into their small kitchen area, and got a bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough for herself, and mint chocolate chip for Martin. He put a movie into the DVD player. They ate their ice cream and Martin held her in his arms as they watched The Phantom of the Opera. Once it was done, Ruthie picked up the bowls, and put them in the dishwasher. Martin came up behind her and put his arms around her waist. She jumped and he laughed.

"I didn't mean to scare you…" he said.

"It's ok. I'm just tired."

"You wanna go to bed?"

"Yeah."

They crawled into their bed and got under the covers. He tried to give her a kiss and she turned before he could.

"Honey…talk to me. What's wrong?"
Ruthie turned towards him and sighed. "I'm not feeling good."

"I knew it! You have the flu don't you?"
"No…"

"Um…a cold?"

"No…"

"Allergies?"

"No.."

"Then what is it?"

"Honey…"

"Baby…"

"We're going to have a baby."

Martin's eyes got really wide and his mouth dropped open. "No way…"

"Yes way."

"You're just making this up!" he said, unbelievingly as he sat up in their bed. She sat beside him. "Honey…it's true. I took a test this morning and went to the doctor with Luce and got tested really quick. We're having a baby."

"THIS IS GREAT!" Martin said, giving her a kiss. "I'm gonna be a daddy?"
"Yeah…yeah you are." She said with tears in her eyes. He hugged her tight. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing…I'm just so happy."

"Me too."

"I know you wanted this so badly…"

"I did. And now I have it."
"Yes you do."

"How long have you known?"

"Well I told you…this morning…but this week I haven't felt well at all…so I thought I might be…and Luce said she thought I was…" She yawned.

"You tired?"

"Mmm hmm….long day."

"I can imagine…" They laid down and he wrapped his arms around her. She stroked his hand with her finger and played with his wedding ring and she sang him to sleep.

Used to feel like rain fell down
Even in the sun
Every dream I ever had
Always came undone
So how is it possible
I'm in your arms tonight

I'm amazed
How you found your way
To my heart
Broke through the dark
It's so strange how life changes and suddenly
You're loving me
And I'm amazed
I'm amazed

Feel so safe inside your kiss
Like I'm coming home
I never could imagine this
When I was on my own
Now nothing's impossible
When I'm looking' in your eyes

I'm amazed
How you found your way
To my heart
Broke through the dark
It's so strange how life changes and suddenly
You're loving me
And I'm amazed
I'm amazed

A fuller life for me
I can't believe
That after all this time
I'm smiling again
And I don't know when
I've felt more alive

I'm amazed
How you found your way
To my heart
Broke through the dark
It's so strange how life changes and suddenly
You're loving me
And I'm amazed
I'm amazed

Every dream I ever had
Always came undone

"I love you so much Martin."

"I love you too Ruthie." He said, playing with her wedding ring before falling asleep. Ruthie sang to him softly

I'm amazed

How you found your way

To my heart

Broke through the dark

It's so strange how life changes and suddenly

You're loving me

And I'm amazed

I'm amazed

I'm amazed…

She kissed his forehead and smiled as he pulled her closer to him. He wrapped his arms around her tighter and she fell asleep peacefully.
