Chapter 16

Ruthie's Graduation

Ruthie

I sighed in frustration.

"Jessie Rose what should I wear to the graduation?"

Jessie walked in from the bathroom her hair wet wearing a blue dress, that matched her eyes, with green dots. It fell about to her knees.

She smirked at me and said sarcastically, "You're cap and gown, Ruth."

I chuckled despite myself, "I meant under the gown."

"Well how about your dark pink dress? You know the one with the ruffles?"

"That's a great idea!" I looked through my remaining clothes, hoping I hadn't already packed it in one of my boxes. I hadn't. I grabbed the dress and headed toward the bathroom. I hugged Jessie Rose on the way.

"Thank you so much, Jessie."

"That's what roommates are supposed to do right? Now go get ready for your husba- I mean fiancée."

I grinned at her one last time before I walked into the bathroom. Jessie Rose was the only person who knew the truth about me and Martin.

I pulled on the dress. It was about the same length as Jessie's. The dress was dark pink and lacy. I added a black sweater, too. The Scottish weather could be so unpredictable.

"Ruthie are you perfect yet!" Jessie yelled. "It's time to go!" I glanced at the clock. We had to be there in 15 minutes!

"I'll be there in a sec.!"

I added some lip gloss and pink eye shadow, and I grabbed my pink heels. And I ran out of the bathroom.

Jessie Rose was standing by the door looking annoyed, holding my gown as well as her own. She smiled when she saw me though, "This Martin's a lucky man."

I smiled, "Thanks, you look great, too. Are you ready?" she nodded. "Then let's go!" And we walked out together arm in arm into the rain.

About an hour later at the ceremony

The ceremony started.

We had just walked in. I automatically searched for my family as I sat down. Everyone of the members of my family, including the Colonel and Grandma Ruth, had come. Martin and his dad were sitting in the middle each of them holding one of my nieces. In fact all of the Camden's seemed to be holding one kid or another.

Martin's eyes met mine, and we shared a smile.

The dean stood up, and started to speak, "Invited guests, fellow faculty, honored attendees, Welcome…"

At that point Jessie leaned over to me and whispered, "That's him isn't it?" she then pointed right at Martin. He was looking at me intently; he then grinned at me and mouthed 'I love you'.

I nodded and whispered, "Yes," back to her.

A few students and some alumni spoke, then it time for the diplomas.

"Christopher Michael Astor, Andrew John Buar, Jessica Rose Cahen, Ruth Jeanne Camden, Miranda Leigh Elighten…"

I walked onto the platform after Jessie Rose. I took my diploma, shook hands with the dean, and moved the tassel from one side of my hat to the other.

I looked at Martin beamed at him again. I was now a collage graduate!

Martin

"Congratulations class of 2011!"

All of the graduates threw up their hats. Ruthie was one of the first ones. I looked down at Emily (Matt and Sarah's youngest kid, and only girl- she's 3 years old) because ahe was squirming.

"I want to see Auntie Ruthie!"

"You'll see her in a minute, okay Em?"

"Yes, Martin," she said, sighing, but looking happier.

I looked back up and saw that all of the Camdens and my dad were now standing. I stood up, too, still holding Emily. And I saw Ruthie heading towards our group with a golden skinned girl with dark hair, and blue eyes. That had to be Jessie; Ruthie had told me about her.

As she came closer, almost all thirteen of her nieces and nephews ran over to her and gave hugs at the same time, including Emily.

I could hear her chuckling, and saying, "Jessie these are all of my nieces and nephews, kids this is Jessie." About half of them went over to Jessie and hugged her.

Ruthie went down the line of Camdens and introduced everyone to Jessie. Then she came to me. "Jessie Rose this is Martin." Jessie came up to give me a hug.

"So we finally meet," Jessie said.

"It's great to meet you, too."

"Jessie is going to stay with me at my parent's house. Starting a week before the wedding, so she can go to the bridal shower."

All of the Camden and the Kinkirks flew back to Glen Oak. The Rivera's and Matt and Sarah, flew back to New York. Annie and Lucy help Ruthie plan for the wedding. Martin basically let Ruthie do her own thing for the wedding, but he helped occasionally. The next chapter is going to be set two weeks before the wedding.
