Episode 6-At Least I Have You

Martin and Ruthie walked down their block, and around the corner
R-Heyyyy..I have an idea! Lucy said she would be there to help me with whatever I needed...
M-Your point is?
R-They have an extra bedroom. Maybe they'll let us stay there for awhile
M-Good idea..but you parent would probably get even more mad at them.
R-Are we just going to live on the streets for the next who knows how many years? No.
M-Okay, lets go.
they come up to the house. no one's home, so they sit on the lawn
M-I told my dad this afternoon. Considering what happened to me last year, he wasn't too mad or shocked.

An hour later...

Lucy, Kevin, and Savannah walk up
L-Martin? Ruthie? Is that you?
R-Yeah..we sorta need a place to stay tonight..
K-Sure. Take the guest bedroom..there's only one bed, but I guess that dosen't matter anymore, at this point, anyways. looks at them
R-Thank you sooo much!hugs everyone
M-But it might be more than just tonight. Maybe a few weeks or so.
L-Maybe the next 8 months or so..remember, we're on your side! But we have to keep this a big secret from Mom and Dad...

The next morning...

Lucy and Kevin's House,Guest Bedrrom

R-Ughh..I feel horrible! I feel like I'm gonna be sick, and my head hurts.
M-Do you need me to get anything for you?
R-How about a cup of tea. But it still won't make up for you making me feeling this crappy. It's mostly your fault I'm like this
M-Okay. I think I'll go get the tea you wanted. walks out of room
L-walk in room How are you feeling?
R-Horrible..ugh.
L-Don't worry. I know exactly how you feel. I was in that same position about two months ago. I can't wait until my twins come in the winter. Wouldn't that be funny if you ended up having twins, too? leaves room
R-Ohhhh nooo. What was I thinking, getting myself into this mess?

In the garage apartment...

Sa-I think I jinxed myself yesterday when I told the truth about us. I feel like really horrible this morning. Almost like I'm going to be sick...you know what that means..
Si-jokingly You have the flu? Kidding. You really think..were having another baby? For real this time?
Sa-Yes. I think I'll go see a doctor this afternoon.

The doctor's office

Sandy goes to see if she's really having a baby. Ruthie wants to find out if she's ahving twins or not.

R-What are you doing here?
Sa-Long story..explains, You?
R-Another long story..explains
Sa-hears her name being called, Ruthie's is called right after

An hour later...
Right outside the building

Sa-Soo..
R-I'm not having twins! Yay! I could NEVER handle that! You?
Sa-Yeah, next year, your parents are going to have 8 new grandchildren from 5 sets of parents
the two girls jump up and down
Sa-Okay. Tomorrow, we're picking out wedding and bridesmaid dresses..yay!
R-I'll be there!
they walk back towards seperate cars

Lucy/Kevin's House

R-walks in front door I'm back!
M-How was the doctor's appointment..
R-Good..we're having one baby..a girl!
M-gives her a hug That's great!
L-Did I just hear what I think I heard? You're having a girl! Congrats!
Sa-walks in door Don't you want to know about my baby, too? I just came over here after telling Simon we were going to have another boy!
L-Congrats to you too!
R-Wow! Within the next several months, mom and dad are going to have 8 new grandchildren. They might only meet 7, though
Sa,M,L-look at her, concerned
R-I'm not sure if Mom and Dad ever want to see me or speak to me again leans up against Martin's shoulder and begins to cry

L-Of course they'll want to see you again! You're their youngest daughter. WHat they said last night was just an instant reaction type thing.
R-...and you know this how?
Sa-Lucy and I talked to your mom this morning. She knows your here. She wants you to come back home. Your dad, on the other hand is still acting the same way. If you moved back in, it's likely he'd never trust you again.
R-So should I move back in..?
L,Sa,K,M-YES!
R-But what about Martin. After all, he is the baby's father?
L-One thing at a time, sister!
