Two Months Later
Ruthie's POV
Today is the day we find out if the baby is a boy or girl. I have a feeling it's a boy, but I don't care either way as long as it's healthy. Martin has been great. He's put up with me and helped me when I was sick. I never knew I could be so moody. One minute I can't get enough of him and next I couldn't stand him touching me. I'm setting in the waiting room waiting for Martin and the doctor. He better be here. He has a game today. The nurse called me back. She told me the doctor would be in here in a minute. I really can't believe the he isn't here. He promised he would come with me. Dr. Johnson knocked before he came in.
Dr. Johnson: Hi Ruthie, how have you been feeling lately?
Ruthie: Tired, sick and moody.
Dr. Johnson: That's completely normal. This is going to be cold.
He puts some of the gel on Ruthie's stomach and moves the ultra sound around looking at the baby. I could here the hart beat. It was really cool to hear. I couldn't help but get teary eyed as I looked at my baby.
Dr. Johnson: Everything looks good. Ruthie, do you want to know the sex?
Ruthie: Yes, please.
Dr. Johnson: I looks like your going to have a boy. We are done. Do you have any questions for me?
Ruthie: Yes I do but, I'm not sure how to ask it. Is it okay to have sex? Because lately I have really wanted it a lot more.
Dr. Johnson: It is okay for now. And some women are like that when they are pregnant so don't think anything is wrong with you.
He printed some pictures for me. I made another appointment for next month and went to the car to try to call Martin again. I just kept getting his voice mail. I went back home where everybody but Martin was waiting for me to come back. When I got back everybody was in the living room.
Dad: Hi, honey where's Martin?
Ruthie: I don't know I can't get a hold of him. Have you guys seen him?
They all said no.
Mom: So how did it go? Is it a boy or girl?
Ruthie: Good. I will tell you guys at dinner after I talked to Martin.
I showed them the pictures. We talking when Martin walked in with Mac. I could tell there was something up. Everybody left us alone so we could talk. I could tell he had been drinking.
Ruthie: Where were you?
Martin: We won and there was a scout from the Rockies there and he wants me to play for them next season. So the guys took me out to celebrate.
Ruthie: I'm glad baseball is more important the me, and the baby.
Martin: Oh, shit. Baby, I'm sorry I forgot about the appointment, I will go to the next one.
Ruthie: It's wasn't just any appointment Martin.
He tried to hug me. I pushed him away. I was beyond mad at him at this point.
Ruthie: You promised to be there to find out what the baby is and you couldn't even do that. You blow me off to out drinking with them even though your under age. I'm sorry Martin but you need to leave.
Martin: Are you even going to tell me what we are having?
Ruthie: What we are having? You mean what I'm having. Since your planning on leaving. I can do this on my own. I have my family to help me.
Martin: You don't mean that Ru.
Ruthie: Don't call me that. Here is your ring back. I think you should move back into your dad's house.
I went up to my room. My mom came up not to long after.
Ruthie: Mom I really don't want to talk right now.
Mom: I know I just was going to check on you.
She hugged me. I just held her and a cried.
Ruthie: It wasn't supposed to be like this. He promised to here every step of the way.
Mom: I know he did. You know we will be there every step of the way.
We heard shouting coming from outside
Mom: Oh, no. Here we go again.
We went downstairs to see Matt and Kevin screaming at Martin and Mac. At least this time they weren't hitting each other.
Ruthie: Matt, Kevin leave him alone. I broke up with him.
Matt: We know we where yelling at them for drinking. When they are under age.
Ruthie: Oh, okay.
Martin: Please Ruthie lets talk about this. At least tell me what the baby is.
Ruthie: Why should I tell you. You didn't care enough to show up so why do you want to know now.
After I said that I could see the hurt in his eyes but I didn't care. He looked at me and walked off. Mac followed him. Sarah, Lucy and Ashley finished making dinner. So we all went in and ate.
Ashley: Okay so I can't take it any longer am I getting a new niece or nephew?
Ruthie: It's a boy.
Just as I said that and everybody was happy. The door bell rang. My dad went to the door.
Eric: It's for you Ruthie.
I walked in to see Martin with two dozen red roses.
Martin: Ruthie, please just talk to me.
Eric: I think you guys should talk.
Ruthie: Okay you have five minutes starting now.
We walked up to his room.
Martin: Ruthie, I messed up big time today. I'm sorry. I thought that playing professional baseball was my dream since I was little. But today when you told me you never wanted to see me again I realized that I had to make a choice between you, the baby and baseball.
Ruthie: So what did you pick?
Martin: I picked you and our baby.
Ruthie: What you did today really hurt. I don't know if I can forgive you right a way. But our son needs his daddy so I'm willing to give it a shot.
Martin: Thank you so much baby. I love you.
Ruthie: I love you too.
Martin kissed me. I guess he finally got what I said because he pulled a way from and looked at me with a funny look on his face.
Martin: Wait a minute did you say our son?
Ruthie: Yeah daddy I did.
He picked me up and kissed me. Then he sat me on the bed. And kissed me again.
Ruthie: Baby I really need you. But not here. Is your dad home?
Martin: No he went to New York to see Betsy. What will your parents say?
Ruthie: We will tell them that we are going to the dairy shack.
They went downstairs Eric and Annie where sitting at the table.
Dad: Hey you two we want to talk to you.
Ruthie: Can it wait? I really have a craving for a chocolate milk shake from the dairy shack.
Dad: I think you can wait a little while longer.
Martin and me sat down.
Mom: Your dad and I have decided that you and Martin should move into the apartment.
Ruthie: Are you sure?
Mom: Yes we are sure. I remember what is was like when I was pregnant. You guys need your own space.
Martin: Thank you guys. When the season is over in couple of days, I start working at sporting goods store. I can pay you rent.
Dad: Don't worry about it. You guys will need it for the baby.
We hugged them and walked out the door.
Martin: So do you want to go to OUR place?
Ruthie: I can't believe their letting us move in together.
I took Martins hand and led him up to the stairs to the bed. I kissed him and then pushed him back on the bed and crawled on top of him. He took off my shirt and looked at my stomach.
Martin: You are the most beautiful women in this world. I love you.
Ruthie: I love you too.
We made love. After we cuddled it was so nice that we didn't have to hurry.
Ruthie: So are you happy it's a boy?
Martin: Yes, but I would have been happy if it was a girl too.
We were just about to fall a sleep when my phone rang. I looked at the Id it was Ashley. Someone better be dead or dieing.
Ruthie: Hi Ash.
Ashley: Hi, Ru where are you?
I could tell she was crying.
Ruthie: We are in our new room. Ash, what's wrong?
Ashley: I just really need to talk to you can I come up?
Ruthie: Yeah just give us a couple of minutes.
We finished getting dress as Ashley and Cody came up. Both looked like they had been crying.
Martin: What is wrong?
Ashley: Ahhh I'm late.
Martin: Late for what?
I hit Martin really hard. He just looked at me. When it finally hit him.
Martin: Oh, that kind of late.
Ruthie: Wait a minute you guys have only been going out for two months. How late are you?
Ashley was really quite. Just then it hit me and Martin at the same time.
Ashley: I'm almost three months late.
Ruthie: How could you have missed that for so long?
Ashley: You know my crazy periods.
I just nodded I knew what she meant.
Ruthie: I think you need to take a test. Do you have one?
Cody: I went and got her one.
Ruthie: Go take it.
Ashley went to the bathroom. I decided to talk to Cody.
Ruthie: Cody are you okay?
Cody: No, I think I love her and now she is going to have a baby with another guy. How could I be okay.
Cody left. Martin went after him. Five minutes later Ashley came out of the bathroom. I knew the look all to well. I just looked down at my stomach. I walked over and hugged my sister.
Ashley: So what do I now? I love Cody he is my Martin.
Ruthie: First off you need to tell Mac and go to the doctors.
A/N: I hope I get some reviews. Even if you don't like it Please tell me.
