Im soooo sorry for the long wait but ive been busy with my end of year exams, and now that its over, im guessing I would be able to update more, so cross your fingers that I can.
As Zoë's pregnancy became more and more noticeable, with the approval of Annie and Eric, she moved in, having to share a room with Zoe. Even though she didn't want to, she realized there was an advantage in it: Being able to keep an eye on Zoe and Martin when they are together in the room. Even though she trusted Martin, she wasn't sure about Zoe.
It was a Monday afternoon and Ruthie and Martin were walking hand in hand at school. Lunchtime had rolled by and they were walking towards a lunch spot outside when Martins phone rang. Looking at called ID and sighing, he picked up. "What now Zoe? Im in school at the moment and if I ge-"
"Relax Martin. I know its lunchtime. I do go to the same school you know." Zoë answered with a chuckled. "I just wanted to call to ask you if you could pick up a few things for me."
Martin didn't answer. He was busy looking at Ruthie eating her lunch. God she looked cute, he thought to himself, lost in his own thoughts.
"Im guessing that's a yes then." Zoe said on the other line, bringing him back to the real world. "Can you pick up a few magazines for me. Ruthie knows which ones I like so you can ask her. Oh and when you get home, can you make me a jelly and pickle sandwich? Thanks."
Jelly and pickle sandwich? Gross. "Wait, why me? I mean, I won't be home till like another 2 hours or so."
"Annie's doing laundry and I don't want to disturb her. Plus, I can wait till you get home." Martin could tell her she was smiling. "Well I better let you go, the bells about to go soon."
"What??" But she had hung up, and just as Zoe said, the bell went. "Man, I didn't get to eat." He whined and looked at Ruthie.
"Aww, well eat the rest of this before your next class." She handed him her half eaten sandwich and stood up. "Well I have to get going." She kissed him. "Bye."
"See yah." He grabbed his bag and went in the opposite direction. He gobbled down the rest of the sandwich and whipped his mouth before he reached his class.
By the time Ruthie and Martin got home, everyone was panicking. Martin ran upstairs to see Zoe while Ruthie stayed downstairs, trying to calm a very jittery Lucy down.
"Lucy, whats going on?" She looked at her older sister and waited for an answer.
Lucy ran around the house grabbing supplies and other things for both Zoe and Savannah. "Zoe's water broke!" Both her and Martin said at the same time.
Ruthie turned around and ran to Martin who was hysterical. "Her water broke. Her water broke. Im gonna be a father. Im gonna be a father!"
A hint of jealously ran through her body. She looked up at Martin who was beaming and couldn't help but feel jealous. She didn't say anything as Martin ran passed her, out the door with the mother of his child. She looked at the ground as she felt an arm wrap around her.
"I know its tough but you're doing so well dealing with this sweetie." Her mother said, hugging her.
She nodded. "I know, its just…." She hesitated. "Nevermind, lets just go ok?"
Her mother nodded, not wanting to press the matter even more.
As soon as they reached the hospital, everyone was crowding around inside the waiting room, everyone anxious and nervous. Ruthie stared blankly at the wall for what seemed like forever. Sure, she's happy for Martin and Zoe but why does she feel so left out? So jealous? She shook her head and mentally shoved all thoughts to the back of her head, just as Martin ran into the room.
"It's twins!" He grinned as everyone came up to congratulate him.
"Can we go see them?" Lucy asked, holding Savannah close to her.
"Sure. She's in room 24. Walk straight down this corridor until the end of the hall then turn left. Look for room 24, you wont miss it."
Ruthie waited till everyone was gone before she went up to Martin. She wrapped her arms around him while he did the same thing. "Congrates," She whispered.
"Thanks." He pulled away, looking at her. "Ruthie, I know this must be hard for you but I promise you I wont let this get between us ok? I love you to bits and I would always to be with you." He lifted her chin and planted a sweet but pleasurable kiss on her lips.
She returned the kiss and pulled away. "I love you."
He grinned "I love you too. Always have and always will."
