"What?" her dad asked, in shock.
"Martin and I are having a baby."
"Are you serious?" Annie and Eric asked excitedly. Ruthie grinned and nodded. Everyone came and hugged both Martin and Ruthie.
"What…how did this happen?" Annie asked.
Martin rolled his eyes, and gave her the 'duh' look. "Well I know how it happened…" she continued. "But when!"
"It would've had to have been a day or two after the wedding…remember you telling us it only takes one time?" She asked.
Annie laughed. "Yeah…I remember you telling that quite a few times."
"Congratulations guys." Martin's dad said, as he hugged them both.
"Thanks…we're really excited." Martin said.
"I'm so happy for you guys!" Lucy said, hugging her sister and brother in law. "You're gonna be great parents!" Kevin added.
"I know Ruthie will…I don't know about me…" Martin said.
"Relax Martin. You're amazing with my kids. And when I have this baby next month, you guys can get some practice. You'll baby-sit a lot."
"Good…I need the practice." Ruthie said, laughing slightly.
"We both do." Martin included, wrapping his arm around his wife.
Ruthie yawned. "Tired babe?" Martin asked her.
"Yeah…just a little."
"Then why don't we have dessert and then you guys can go home?" Eric asked.
"Yeah…sure…"
They all had big bowls of ice cream and brownies. They said their goodbyes, and left to go home to the garage apartment.
"We need to call Matt, Mary, and Simon."
"Yeah I know…well, for tonight I thought maybe go grab a bite to eat at Rockne's (AN-I don't know if they have them all over the country…but it's my favorite restaurant here…) and go see a movie…then hang out here?"
"Sounds like fun. I'll go get ready and call my brothers and sister."
"Ok…I'll get ready and then call and make reservations and check on movie times."
"That sounds good." She said, kissing him and going into their bedroom, shutting the door behind her. She changed her clothes, into a medium length black skirt, a cute pink halter top, and her white flip flops. She put on some more eyeliner and mascara, then brushed her teeth and fixed her hair. She put on her light pink lip gloss and went into the living room. She pulled her cell phone out of her purse as Martin went into the bathroom. About 15 minutes later, they were both ready to go. He was wearing a pair of khaki pants and a nice blue dress shirt.
"If you don't mind I want to do something in here real quick…wait in the car?" Martin asked Ruthie.
"Yeah sure…what are you doing?"
"Calling my dad." 'Yeah...so what if I lied'? He thought to himself.
"Oh ok. I'll meet you in the car." she said, walking out of the apartment.
He quickly put a dozen of red roses in a vase in the middle of the table, as well as some chocolate cake. He set candles on the table and put a CD in the CD player. He shut off the lights and went to the car.
They went to go see Pride and Prejudice, then went out to eat at Rockne's. It was about 8 o'clock when they got home. Ruthie was going to get out of the car, but Martin stopped her.
"What?" she asked.
"I want to do something really quick."
"Ok…"
"Be right back." He ran upstairs and lit the candles, and then went to get Ruthie.
"Close your eyes." He said.
"I don't want to!" she whined.
"Just do it. Trust me."
"Fine.." she said, closing her eyes as Martin led her up into the garage apartment. "Ok…open them." He said. She opened her eyes and gasped.
"Honey! What's this for?"
"Celebrating the baby." He said, taking her coat and his, hanging them up on the coat rack. They sat down and ate the cake. Once they were done, Martin got up and pressed 'play' on the CD player then offered his hand to his wife. "May I have this dance Mrs. Brewer?"
"You most certainly can." She said, as Martin helped her up. They danced as one of her favorite songs played.
She's a yellow
pair of running shoes
A holey pair of jeans
She's looks great
in cheap sunglasses
She looks great in anything
She's "I
want a piece of chocolate"
"Take me to a movie"
She's
"I can't find a thing to wear"
Now and then she's
moody
She's a Saturn with a sunroof
With her brown hair a
blowing
She's a soft place to land
And a good feeling
knowing
She's a warm conversation that I wouldn't miss for
nothing
She's a fighter when she's mad and a lover when she's
loving
She's everything that I ever wanted
And
everything I need
When I talk about her I go on and on and
on
Cause she's everything to me
She's a Saturday out on
the town
Church girl on Sunday
A cross around her neck and a
cuss word cause it's Monday
She's a bubble bath and candle
baby come and kiss me
She's a one glass of wine and she's
feeling kinda tipsy
She's the giver I wish I could be and the
stealer of the covers
She's the picture in my wallet
And my
unborn children's mother
She's the hand that I'm holding when
I'm on my knees and praying
She's the answer to my
prayers
She's the song that I'm playing and
She's
everything that I ever wanted
And everything I need
When I
talk about her I go on and on and on
Cause she's everything to
me
She's the voice I love to hear
Someday when I'm
ninety
She's that wooden rocking chair
I want rocking right
beside me
Everyday that passes I only love her more
Yeah she's
the one that I'd lay down my own life for
She's everything
that I ever wanted
And everything I need
When I talk about her
I go on and on and on
Cause she's everything to me
Ruthie laid her head on Martin's shoulder and he kissed her forehead. "I love you so much…today couldn't have been more perfect." Ruthie said.
"I know. I love you too babe." He said.
She looked up into his eyes and Martin sang softly to her.
"You're everything
that I ever wanted
And everything I need
When I talk about you
I go on and on and on
Cause you're everything to me."
Ruthie smiled as a tear escaped her eye. He wiped it away with his thumb and kissed her. They went and got ready for bed then laid on their bed. They faced each other, holding each other in their arms and sang to each other. Martin fell asleep. "God," Ruthie prayed. "Thank you for Martin. He's everything to me." She smiled and snuggled under the covers and sang softly to her husband as she drifted off to sleep
"He's everything
that I ever wanted
And everything I need
When I talk about him
I go on and on and on
Cause he's everything to me."
