Ruthie's POV
We are getting ready to go home for the first time. Martin came to get us. He is so cute with Kyle. We get packed up and head for Martin's truck. I can't believe we have so much stuff. Every brought flowers and a stuffed animal or balloons. We get to the house and The whole family was waiting for us. Including Colonel and grandma Ruth. When we walked in. Grandma Ruth took Kyle from me.
Ruthie: Wow I feel loved.
Martin: I love you babe.
Ruthie: I love you too.
Mom: Martin the guys are out in back yard if you would like to join them.
Martin: Okay thanks.
Martin went outside.
Lucy: How are you feeling Ruthie?
Ruthie: Sore.
Sarah: Just wait until you have twins.
Ruthie: I really don't think I'm ever going to have anymore.
Mom: I said that after Matt then I found out I was pregnant with Mary and so on.
Ashley: So was it really that bad?
Everybody: Yes.
Ruthie: If I can to it you can do it.
I know she is just as scared as I was. I hug her. Everybody was still passing Kyle around. When the kids came in running and screaming. Which woke Kyle up. They finally gave him back when he was crying. Martin came back in when he heard him crying to see what was wrong.
Mary: Clam down daddy he is okay the kids just woke him up.
Martin: Sorry I'm just a little bit paranoid. He's just so little. And remember I was the only child so I didn't grow up around babies. This is my first one.
We all laughed at him. I finally got him calmed back down. When Martin took him from me.
Martin: Come on buddy lets get you a way from all these girls.
Ruthie: Keep him on the porch out of the sun.
Martin: Yes mom.
We all talked for a long time. Martin brought me Kyle back when he was hungry. I headed up stairs to feed him.
Ashley's POV
I followed Ruthie up so we can talk by ourselves.
Ruthie: What's on your mind Ash.
Ashley: I'm just starting to get scared about everything.
Ruthie: I know you are. I really was. I still am.
Ashley: I don't know if I can do it by myself.
Ruthie: Mary will be there to help you. So will mom.
Ashley: I was thinking about that. I want you instead of Mary.
Ruthie: If you would like me too I will.
Ashley: Thank you.
Ruthie: Your welcome.
Ashley: So be honest with me. What does it feel like?
Ruthie: Well lets see. It was the worst pain I have ever felt before. But mom was right it is all worth it when you here your baby cry for the first time.
Ashley: Really?
Ruthie: Really. Even Martin was crying. You think you love Cody or mom and dad you have no idea what true love is until you hold your baby.
Ashley: I can't wait.
Ruthie: Don't worry Mac and Cody will be there to help you.
Ashley: I know.
We talked for a while when Ruthie fell a sleep. I took Kyle back downstairs with me. Everybody had gone home. Except Cody and Mac. They have been getting a long very well lately which kinda scared me.
Ashley: What are you guys watching?
Cody: Just sport center.
Ashley: Cool.
Kyle started to get fussy. We didn't know why. Ruthie feed him and changed him. We couldn't get him to calm down. Ruthie woke up when she heard him crying. Martin and us were trying to figure out what was wrong.
Ruthie: What's wrong with him?
Martin: I don't know. He just started being fussy and then started to cry.
Ruthie took him from Martin and tried to calm him down. It wasn't working.
Ruthie: Where is mom and dad?
Everyone: I don't know.
Ashley: I will go find them.
I go upstairs and go into their room.
Ashley: Mom, dad. Ruthie needs your help.
Realizing what they where doing I shut the door very quickly and headed back downstairs trying not think about what I saw.
Ruthie: Did you find them?
Ashley: Yeah, they where kinda busy.
Mac: You walked in on them having sex didn't you?
I just nodded. Everyone laughed.
Ashley: Nobody should have to see there parents doing that.
Mom came downstairs. Her hair was messed up and her shirt wasn't buttoned right.
Mom: Is everything okay.
Ruthie: No, I can't get him to quit crying. We feed him, changed him and tried is binky.
Mom takes him from her and he calms down.
Ruthie: How did you do that. We tried everything.
Mom: You just have to stay calm they can since how your feeling.
Martin: Thank you Annie.
Mom: Your welcome but please call me mom.
A Week Later
Ruthie's POV
I haven't slept more then four hours a night since we came home from the hospital. Come to think about it I don't think anyone else has either. I came down for breakfast.
Mom: Good morning honey.
Ruthie: Morning.
The boys came down with suitcases.
Mom: What are you guys doing?
Sam: We are moving to Lucy's.
David: Yeah where we can get some sleep.
Ruthie: Sorry guys. Maybe we should move to the garage apartment again now that it's empty again.
Mom: I will call ask Lucy and ask if you guys could stay a couple of nights with her.
Sam/ David: Thanks mom.
Ashley came down ready for school but she looked like she was sleep walking.
Mom: Are you okay honey?
Ashley: Between Kyle and being uncomfortable I haven't hardly slept in a week.
Ruthie: Sorry.
Ashley: It's okay. It's not all Kyle. See you guys later.
Ruthie: Hey will you pick up the rest of my home work for me. Please?
Ashley: Sure.
Ruthie: Thank you.
Dad came down the stairs with Kyle.
Ruthie: Where is Martin?
Dad: He's in shower.
Ruthie: Oh, okay.
Martin came down a little bit later. He has been really good about helping with Kyle except at night. He can sleep through anything.
Martin: Hey baby. You don't look so good.
Ruthie: Gee you think.
We haven't been getting a long that great lately. I know it's just lack of sleep on my part. But he could help once in a while.
Martin: What's wrong with you?
I just looked at him. With you didn't just say that look. Mom and dad left but I'm sure there leasing on the top of the stairs.
Ruthie: What's wrong with me?
Martin: Yeah.
Ruthie: Let me see. I have a week old baby that seems to have his days and nights mixed up. His dad hasn't helped at all at night.
Martin: It's not like I can feed him.
I couldn't take it anymore. I walked upstairs.
Mom: Are you okay?
Ruthie: No.
Mom: I'm going to go to the store and I will take Kyle with me so you can get some sleep.
Ruthie: Thank you.
Martin's POV
Nothing I do is right anymore. I need some guy time. I call Mac.
Mac: Hey, buddy what's up?
Martin: Nothing. Ruthie is mad at me again.
Mac: Ahh, trouble in paradise.
Martin: You could say that. I need to get out for a while.
Mac: Want to go to the batting cages?
Martin: Sure.
I head over to my dad's house to pick him up. We went for a while when some of our old team mates show up. We all decide to go for a pizza. I had to leave early since I had class. I went to class and came home. I knew she would be upset with me about being gone all day but to tell you the truth I didn't really care. I walked in. Cody and Ashley where watching TV.
Ashley: Just so you know Ruthie is really mad at you.
Martin: Thanks.
I walked up to our room. Ruthie was doing her home work. She didn't even talk to me. I walked over and kissed her on her head. I went to check on Kyle. He was a sleep.
Martin: Look Ruthie I'm sorry.
Ruthie: Where were you?
Martin: With Mac and at class.
Ruthie: Oh okay.
Martin: Your not mad at me?
Ruthie: Nope. You are going to take Kyle for the night and stay in the garage apartment.
Martin: How can I?
Ruthie: Mom bought me a breast pump. Since I'm going back to school next week. He wont have to have formula.
Martin: Who is going to take care of him while your at school?
Ruthie: You are. And when your in class or mom will watch him.
Martin: What about my knee rehab?
Ruthie: Your just going to have to take him with you.
Martin: Ruthie you know I can't watch him and work out with the trainer too.
Ruthie: You like doing the fun stuff with him but god for bid he messes up your plans. What about my plans Martin?
Martin: But you're his mother.
Ruthie: Not by choice.
Martin: You don't mean that do you?
Ruthie: You think I wanted to have a baby at 17?
Martin: No, but it happened.
Ruthie: Yeah it did. I love him with all my heart I just wish it didn't happen until we are older.
Martin: I love him too. But I'm not ready for all of this.
Ruthie: Well there's the door Martin you have two choices. 1). Stay and help me do this. 2). Leave and forget that you have a son. The choice is up to you.
Martin: What do you want?
Ruthie: I want you to stay, but only if you want too.
A/N: So will Martin stay or will he leave? Review and find out.
