Thanks for the reviews.
Ashley's POV
It had been a week since Ruthie found out she is pregnant. Martin moved back in a couple days ago. Me and Mac broke up yesterday. I found out he was cheating on me with some college girl. Which isn't going to be easy now that Martin moved back in. Mom and dad have been pretty good about this whole mess. Today at practice was the first time I realized how much I miss Mac. Thank god it's almost over. Martin picked me up after practice.
Ashley: I thought Lucy was coming to get me?
Martin: She was, but I need to talk to you.
Ashley: Okay.
Martin: I was wondering if you would go with me to pick out a ring for Ruthie.
Ashley: Right now?
Martin: No I was thinking about Saturday. If that's okay with you?
Ashley: That's fine with me. What are we going to tell Ruthie?
Martin: She is going to the movies with Sarah and the boys.
Ashley: Oh, okay.
I don't know why but I started to cry, which I have never cried in front of anybody but my family. Martin hugged me.
Martin: Ash, I'm so sorry, I completely forgot with everything else I have on my mind.
Ashley: It's okay, honestly I don't know why I'm still crying over him.
Martin: Because you loved him and he broke your heart.
Ashley: How could he do this to me.
Martin just set there quite. I got a very funny feeling.
Ashley: Wait a minute you knew.
We got home and ran up the stairs slammed the door. Making Ruthie jump since she was a sleep. She could tell I had been crying.
Ruthie: What happened did do something?
Ashley: Ruthie for once please tell me you didn't know that Mac was cheating on me.
Ruthie: I swear I didn't know.
Ashley: I find that hard to believe since your boyfriend knew the whole time.
Ruthie: Wait a minute Martin knew.
Ashley: Yeah, I just don't understand why he wouldn't tell me.
Martin walks in. He tries to kiss Ruthie but she doesn't kiss him back.
Ruthie: Why didn't you tell me or Ash, about Mac?
Martin: I don't know. The whole baby thing has made me a little bit crazy.
Ashley: I'm sorry Martin. I shouldn't have got so mad at you.
Martin: It's okay.
We talked a lot. Ruthie would talk when she wasn't being sick. Martin has been there to help her every since. I decided to call Sarah and see if she wanted to go riding. Ruthie and Martin wanted to come with us too. Ruthie couldn't ride but she wanted to watch.
Martin: I know you are really going to miss this. I'm sorry.
Ruthie: It's okay baby. I miss it but it's not like I can't ever ride again.
Ruthie: Besides I will get you on a horse one day.
Martin: Tell you what, when you can ride again I will ride with you if you don't laugh at me.
Ruthie: Deal.
The next day. Me and Martin finally got out of the house. We are going to the mall to look for a ring. Martin and me are really close. I didn't fall for him like Ruthie did, but I understand why she loves him so much. We went to four different stores before we found one that Ruthie would love.
Martin: Thanks Ash for helping me.
Ashley: Your welcome. So when are you going to pop the question?
Martin: I'm not to sure yet. I want it to be special. Since I messed her life up already.
Ashley: Martin she loves you she always has. Granted having a baby in high school isn't easy, I know you guys can do it.
Martin: Now we just need to find you someone.
Ashley: After what happened I don't know if I want anybody else.
Martin: Ashley, I know slept with him. Why didn't you wait until you where married?
Ashley: I don't know, it just happened. Just like you and Ruthie.
We ware walking through the mall when we ran into Mac and his girlfriend Alison.
Mac: Hi guys.
Martin: Hi.
Mac: Where is Ruthie?
Martin: With Sarah.
I couldn't take it anymore and walked off.
Mac: What's wrong with her.
Martin: Let me see. You broke her heart.
Martin came and found me. We went back home. I went over to talk to Lucy.
Lucy: Hey Ash, what's wrong:
Ashley: We just ran into Mac and his girlfriend.
Lucy: I'm sorry.
Ashley: It's okay.
Lucy: We have been so worried about Ruthie and her mess we've kinda forgot about you.
Ashley: It's okay. She needs you guys more. It's just that I wish it was me.
Lucy: You wish you where the one pregnant?
Ashley: No, I wish I had someone like Martin or Kevin. To love me.
Lucy: You are still really young and have your whole life in front of you.
Lucy's doorbell rang. To my surprise it was Mac.
Lucy: I don't think Ashley wants to talk to you.
Mac: Please, Luc?
Lucy let him in. She went in the other room. I know she was listening to us.
Mac: Look Ashley, I'm sorry that I hurt you.
Ashley: I just want to know why?
Mac: Honestly, I don't know.
Ashley: Then why the hell did you sleep with me.
After I said it, I knew I was in for a long talk with Lucy and Kevin.
Mac: Ash, I still love you.
Ashley: Well you lost me for good Mac. I never could trust you again.
Mac: I know. I just wanted to tell you that I really am sorry.
Ashley: I think you need to go now.
He got up and left. Lucy and Kevin walked in.
Kevin: I'm sorry but we heard everything.
Ashley: It's okay, I knew guys would be. I think I just need to go.
Lucy: I'm not going to judge you but if you want to talk just call me okay.
Ashley: Thanks Luc. I think I'm going to be okay.
I walked back to the house. I heard some one talking to Ruthie and Martin. It was Cody from the stables where we kept our horses.
Cody: Hi Ashley.
Ashley: Hi.
Cody: You left your jacket in the barn yesterday.
Ashley: Thanks for bringing it back.
Cody: Your welcome.
Ruthie and Martin left the room.
Cody: Look, I know you just broke up with Mac. But I was wondering if you would like to go out sometime.
Ashley: I would have to ask my parents. If they say yes I would love to go out with you.
He gave me his number and left. I went to find my mom.
Ashley: Hey mom do you remember Cody from the stables?
Mom: Yes I do. He is Mike and Tammy's grandson son, right?
Ashley: Yeah that's him. Anyway he asked me out. Can I go?
Mom: Yes, if he comes in and meets us first.
Ashley: Thanks mom.
Mom: Your welcome. Honey, I sorry we haven' t talked much lately. With Ruthie and everything.
Ashley: It's okay.
Mom: No it's not. I should have time for all my children.
She hugged me and I went up stairs. I walked in on Ruthie and Martin making out.
Ashley: Remember that's how you got in trouble in the first place. And mom is downstairs.
Ruthie through a pillow at me and went back to making out with Martin. The next morning Ruthie was sick in the bathroom again. But there was something different about her this morning. I finally realized that she was starting to show.
Ashley: Wow, Ru your starting to show.
Mom: Ruthie, I think you need to go shopping for maternity cloths.
Ruthie: What I can still fit into my cloths.
She goes and tries to find some jeans that will fit.
Ruthie: Okay so maybe I do need some bigger pants. It's Saturday so me and Ruthie head to mall. We shopped for a very long time. But I got to pick out a new outfit for my date tonight. Weate got back just in time to get ready for my date. Cody came and got me and we went to dinner.
Martin's POV
I can't wait to get home. We have been at a way game for two days. I miss Ruthie so much. Sure she's been sick and moody, but I still miss her. The buss finally made it back to the college. He could see Ruthie waiting for him. I walked over to her. She's finally showing. I picked her up and kissed her.
Martin: Hi, I have missed you so much.
Ruthie: I have missed you too. I love you
Martin: I love you too. How are you feeling?
Ruthie: Pretty good today. I had to buy bigger clothes today.
Martin: I'm sorry baby.
Ruthie: It's ok.
We headed back to the house for dinner. I ran up to my room and changed. I don't know why but I grabbed the ring. We ate dinner Ruthie decided to get some fresh air. After I was done helping clean up I went to find her. She was sitting on the porch swing. I could tell she was crying.
Martin: Hey baby what's wrong?
I sat beside her and pulled her into a hug.
Ruthie: I'm just scared. I can feel the baby move and I'm showing. It's really real now.
Martin: You felt the baby?
Ruthie: Yeah while we where eating. I wasn't sure it was the baby, until it did it again when I came out here.
I knew this was a good time to ask her to marry me. I kissed her and got down on one knee and took the little black box out of packet.
Martin: Ruthie I love you with all of my heart. You are my best friend and my other half. Will you make me the happiest man in the world and be my wife. Ruth Camden will you marry me?
Ruthie: I love you so much. Yes I will marry you.
She Kissed me like she never has before. We made out for while. When Ashley got back we told everybody.
