Ruthie's POV
The next couple of days every body watching me like I was a ticking time bomb or something. I needed to go for a walk. Me and Martin went for a walk. We walked to the park and back. We really didn't want to go back to the house so we went to Mr. Brewer's house. Beau was home it was his day off. Mac was staying there until he could find a place of his own. He had just got back from practice.
Beau: Hey guys. How are you feeling Ruthie.
Ruthie: Tired of being pregnant.
I had to pee so bad I practically ran to the bathroom. This is one thing I'm not going to miss. That and the back ache I have had all day. I got done and went to find Martin and his dad. I sat down on the couch and soon fell a sleep. The guys where watching a pre season baseball game. When I was woken up by this really wired feeling that I have never felt before. Then I felt like I peed my pants. The guys where really into the game they didn't even notice I woke up.
Ruthie: Ahh, guys I think my water just broke.
Martin: It's okay honey. I will get you another one.
That's when the first contraction hit. I grabbed Martin's arm, and that's when it finally dawned on him what was happing.
Martin: Oh my god your water just broke. That means your having the baby right?
Ruthie: Yes it does. I think we should get to the hospital.
Martin: Good thinking. Dad can you drive us? Mac will you call everybody and let them know we are headed to the hospital.
Beau: Let's go.
Martin and Mr. Brewer helped me out to the car. When we got in another one hit it was stronger then the last one.
Ruthie: Oww…. Oh my god this hurts…. Owww
Martin: Just breath baby like they showed you how.
Ruthie: Please hurry.
Beau: We are almost there.
We get to the hospital. They help me inside and Martin checks me in and does all the paper work when my whole family gets there. He comes back just as they get me hooked up to all the monitors.
Ruthie: Thank god your back.
Martin: Don't worry baby I'm not going any where.
He walks over and holds my hand.
Nurse: The doctor will be in here to check to see where you are.
Martin's POV
Okay this is really happening. I'm going to be a dad today. I was brought back to reality when another contraction hit and Ruthie about broke my hand.
Martin: Breath baby. Your doing so good.
Ruthie: Owww.
Hank came in just as the contraction was ending.
Hank: Hi Ruthie. I looks like your contractions are already pretty strong. So lets see how far along you are.
He checks her.
Hank: Well Ruthie your only five centimeters dialed. So do you want to have a epidural? Or Natural?
Ruthie: I want the drugs and I want them NOW.
Hank: Well you have to be at least six centimeters dialed before you can have one. But I will let the nurses know to order one.
Ruthie: Okay.
Hank: Your mom wants to know if she can come in?
Another contraction hit.
Ruthie: OWWW. God I hate you Martin.
Hank: Don't worry Martin they all say that. She doesn't mean it.
Ruthie: God I want My mom.
Martin: Okay I will go get her.
Ruthie: No baby don't leave me.
Hank went out and got Annie. About two hours later the nurse came in to check her again. She is six centimeters. So they gave her the epidural. Ruthie finally got some much need sleep she is really tired. Sarah brought us something to eat and check on Ruthie.
Martin: Thank you Sarah.
Sarah: Your welcome. How are you holding up?
Martin: I'm okay. I just feel bad for Ruthie. I mean I did this to her.
Sarah: She will be okay. She's in good hands.
Annie: Why don't you try to take a nap Martin. It's still going to be a while.
I tried to sleep in the chair but it wasn't working. Ruthie finally woke up.
Martin: Baby are you okay? Do you need something?
Ruthie: I think you better get a nurse.
Ruthie's POV
I so tired I don't know if I can do this. I have been in labor eight hours. Martin came back with a nurse. She checked me.
Nurse: Congratulations Ruthie your ten centimeters and ready to push. You should be holding your baby boy within the hour.
Hank came in and they got all the stuff ready.
Hank: Okay, Ruthie when you feel the next contraction I want you to put your chin on your chest and push as hard as you can. Annie I want you to count to ten when she pushes.
I pushed for what seemed like forever. I started to cry.
Ruthie: I can't do this anymore. Put him back in.
Martin: Your doing a great job. A couple more pushes and we will get to hold or son.
Ruthie: It hurts to bad and I'm so tired.
Annie: Ruth Ann Camden. Look at me. You are going to do to this for your son. I promise it will all be over in a little while.
Martin kissed my head. I felt another contraction coming. I pushed as hard as I could. I felt the worse pain I have ever felt before.
Hank: Okay Ruthie the head is out. One more big push and your son will be here.
Martin: He is so cute and has a some hair.
I pushed one more time and I heard the most beautiful sound in the whole world. Hank put him on my stomach. Martin kissed my head. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. Except Hank.
Martin: I love you baby.
Ruthie: I love you too.
Hank: Dad do you want to cut the cord?
Martin: Sure as long as it isn't going to hurt him or Ruthie.
Hank: It won't.
Martin cut the cord and they took him to be weighted and cleaned up.
Ruthie: Go with him I don't want him to be a lone.
Nurse: Do you guys have a name for him yet?
Martin: Kyle Matthew Brewer.
The nurse weighted him and cleaned him up. He weighed 7 lbs 1 oz. and is 20 inches long. She brings him back to me. Mom kisses me and goes to tell the family.
Martin: You are the most amazing women. I love you.
Ruthie: I couldn't have done it with out you. I love you too.
Ruthie: Hi Kyle I'm your mommy and this is your daddy.
I can't believe I can love someone so much that I just met. Oh my gosh I'm his mom. I'm a mom. I could tell Martin really wanted to hold him.
Ruthie: Babe, do you want to hold your son?
Martin's POV
Martin: Yes, please.
I take him and sit in the chair next to the bed. I just stair at him. He is so little and perfect.
Martin: Hi little man. I'm Your daddy. I love you so much. You have the most amazing mom.
Ruthie looked over at me and smiled. I could tell she wanted him back. So I handed him back over.
Meanwhile Annie. Told everybody what happened and that Ruthie and Kyle were doing good. She was really trying to keep them out of the room for while so We had some bonding time with him. But it didn't last to long. There was a knock at the door.
Ruthie: Come in.
It was my dad, Eric and Annie. They walked over and kissed Ruthie and hugged me.
Ruthie: Mom, dad, and Mr. Brewer I would like you to meet your grandson Kyle Matthew.
Mom: Can I hold him?
Ruthie handed him over.
Dad: I'm so proud of you Ruthie. He looks just like you and Martin.
Beau: Ruthie you did a great job.
Ruthie: Thank you. I have no idea how you did that six times mom.
Mom: Trust me you will forget all about the pain.
They all took a turn holding him.
Ruthie's POV
Beau handed him back to me.
Ruthie: Dad will you go get everybody.
He went out and came back with Matt, Sarah, Mary, Carlos, Lucy, Kevin, Simon, Sandy Ashley, and Mac. The kids where were with Cody at the house. Simon brought a cupcake and a candle.
Simon: I think we have a tradition to up hold.
With that they all started singing the Mary Taylor More song.
Who can turn the world on with her smile? Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? Well it's you girl, and you should know it With each glance and every little movement you show it Love is all around, no need to waste it You can have a town, why don't you take it You're gonna make it after all You're gonna make it after all
Ruthie: Thanks guys.
Martin: Everybody I would like you to Meet. Kyle Matthew Brewer.
Ashley: Can I hold my nephew?
I hand him over to her.
Ashley: Hi Kyle I'm your aunt Ashley. I'm the cool one. Welcome to this very big family. We may all seem pretty crazy sometimes but we love you.
He starts to get pretty fussy. She hands him back to me. My mom makes everybody leave and gets the nurse to show me how to breast feed. The family goes home so get some sleep. He gets done eating and the nurse takes him to the nursery.
Ruthie: You are going to stay with me tonight right?
Martin: Don't worry I'm not going anywhere.
I move over in the bed so he can get in.
Martin: Are you sure you want me in there with you. They brought me a roll a way bed.
Ruthie: Please come hold me.
He gets in and snuggles up to me.
Martin: I love you so much.
Ruthie: I love you too.
The next morning we where both woke up by a nurse holding a screaming Kyle in her arms.
Nurse: Somebody wants his mommy.
I take him from her. I start to feed him.
Martin: That was a very short night.
Ruthie: Boy are you hungry. Martin why don't you go home and take a shower.
Martin: I'm fine baby. I will go later.
He gets done eating and goes back to sleep. I hand him to Martin. I can't get over how much he looks like his dad.
Ruthie: He looks just like you.
Martin: I can see you in him too.
Matt's POV
I can't believe that little Ruthie is a mom. I know she's really young but she's going to be a great mom. I have been here all night. After Ruthie had Kyle they called me back to the hospital to deliver another lady. So I decide to check on Ruthie. I knocked on the door before I went in. I see Ruthie a sleep in the bed and Martin holding Kyle and there both a sleep in the chair. I walk over and take Kyle from him.
Matt: Hi Kyle I'm your uncle Matt. You are a very lucky little boy to have the parents you have. They love you very much. Your whole family loves you.
Sarah comes in not to long after Me.
Matt: Hey baby.
Sarah: Hi. I figured you would be in here. Can I hold him.
Sarah holds him for a little while before Ruthie wakes up.
Ruthie: Hey guys.
Sarah/Matt: Hi.
Sarah: He is so cute. He looks just like you too.
Matt: Should we tell her?
Sarah: We wanted you to be the first to know. I'm pregnant.
Ruthie: Oh my gosh. Congratulations. But are you sure you want to go through that again?
Sarah: Yeah Josh and James are almost three. I've missed have a baby around the house.
Ruthie: It's going to be a long time if I ever do that again.
Matt: Good you need to get through school first.
Hank came in to check on Ruthie and Kyle. Martin is starting to snore now.
Hank: How are you feeling?
Ruthie: Good just sore and tired. When can We go home?
Hank: Tomorrow morning. Why don't you get some rest. Your going to need it.
Sarah put Kyle in the bassinet. We both left so Ruthie could get some rest.
Ruthie's POV
I looked over at Martin and Kyle asleep and prayed. God thank you for giving me the most beautiful gift of all. Please watch over him and keep him safe. Thank you for Martin I love him so much. I don't think I could do this on my own. Amen.
Back at the Camden House
Ashley's POV
I can't believe Ruthie is really a mom. I still can't believe I'm going to be one in two month. Mom and dad are on cloud nine. Mac came over to check on me, and to talk.
Mac: I know you and Cody are getting really serious. I just want you to know I'm going to back off.
Ashley: Thank you. Look Mac I'm really happy that you want to be in Payton's life.
Mac: I wouldn't miss it for the world. After last night I can't wait to see her and hold her.
Ashley: I know me either.
Mac: I was thinking and I want her to have my last name. I know you want Camden but she is mine.
Ashley: I know she is yours. So I guess it would only be right.
Mac: Payton Lynn Davis. It has a nice ring to it.
Ashley: Well I'm going to go to the hospital. So I will see you later.
Mac: I was going to head over there too. Would you like a ride?
Ashley: No thanks. Cody is coming to pick me up.
Mac: Oh ok. See you later.
Cody got there right as Mac was leaving.
Cody: Hey is everything okay?
Ashley: Actually we are getting along.
Cody: Good, since he's going to be around we should try to get a long.
Ashley: Are you okay with him being around?
Cody: She needs to know her real dad. I'm not crazy that he is going to be around you all the time. But I trust you.
Ashley: Good, because I love you.
Cody: I love you too.
