I don't own anything but the story idea and the new charters.
Ruthie's POV
We have had a lot of fun with Simon and Sandy. Tonight their going to baby-sit so we can go out to dinner and a movie. We haven't done that in a while so I'm really looking forward to it. Sandy and Me where out shopping for some more baby cloths. He is so spoiled. So is Payton. We bought just as much or more for her.
Ruthie: I can't believe we spent so much on cloths.
Sandy: Don't worry about it. Simon gave us his credit card.
Ruthie: I know that's really hard to believe.
Sandy: Why is that?
Ruthie: When we where younger and someone would borrow money from him he would always charge us interest. And bug us until we paid him back.
Sandy: That sounds like him. We should get you a new dress for tonight.
Ruthie: It's okay I don't need one.
Sandy: Well lets just look.
Ruthie: Okay.
We looked and tried on some dresses when Sandy handed me this little black dress with spaghetti straps and is pretty short. I put it on and came out.
Sandy: Oh my gosh, Ruthie you look amazing.
Ruthie: Thanks. Do you think Martin will like it?
Sandy: He is going to love it.
I changed and Sandy paid for the dress and we headed home. On our way home Simon called and told Sandy something that really upset her but she wouldn't tell me what was wrong. We got back to the house and Simon looked really upset. Martin pulled me into our room. I noticed our bags where packed.
Martin: Ruthie, I don't know how to tell you this.
Ruthie: Tell me what?
Martin: Your Dad had another heart attack.
Ruthie: Please tell me he's not dead.
Martin: No, but he isn't doing very good.
Martin pulled me into a hug. Me and my dad where really close until I got pregnant. Then he hardly ever talked to me. All of us left back to Glean Oak. We got to the hospital. Sandy took Kyle home where Mac was baby sitting Payton, Charlie, Savannah, Josh and James. We walked in and saw everybody in the waiting room.
Simon: Anymore news?
Mom: He is still in surgery.
I walked over and hugged my mom and sat down next to Ashley and Lucy. I could feel someone staring at me. I looked up and it was Sam and David.
Ruthie: What?
David: I can't believe you two are here.
Ashley: Why he was our dad way before he was your guys.
Sam: But it's your guys fault he is in here.
Ruthie: Oh, You better not have just said what I think you said.
David: Why it's the truth.
Ashley: How is it our fault?
Matt: I can't wait to here this.
Sam: You guys put so much stress on his heart. Getting pregnant.
Me and Ashley were already crying.
Matt: Sam, David. It's not Ruthie and Ashley's fault. He just has a bad heart.
David: Yeah but they didn't have to stress him out so bad.
Ruthie: Their right. It's my fault.
Mom: Will you guys quit fighting.
Kevin: I want you guys to apologies to Ashley and Ruthie.
David: No.
Matt: You guys better or I will make you.
Ashley: Just wait until we get home I'm going to kill you two.
Ruthie: Me too.
Sam: We are real scared of two girls.
Martin: Oh don't worry they will have help.
Mom: Leave the boys a lone.
Ashley: No wonder there brats they never get in trouble for anything.
Ruthie: Are you just figuring that out?
David: We aren't brats.
Sam: Yeah we are just the favorites.
They get up and walk outside.
Mary: I can't believe them.
Lucy: Me either.
Kevin: Their lucky their not my kids. They would be grounded for a very long time.
It seemed like forever before the doctor came to talk to us.
Dr. Matthews: Mrs. Camden, he made it through. He is really week but he wants to see you.
Mom goes with the doctor. Martin goes and calls Mac to see how Kyle is doing. I could hear Kyle screaming in the phone.
Ruthie: What's wrong with him?
Martin: They can't get him to quit crying. I'm going to head home and see what's going on.
Ruthie: Please call and let me know he's okay.
Martin: I will. I love you.
Ruthie: I love you too.
Martin kisses me and leaves. Mom comes out and tells me and Ashley he wants to see us. We walk in and see him laying there.
Ruthie: Hi Daddy. How are you feeling? Can we get anything for you?
Ashley: Yeah can we do anything for you?
Dad: No, I'm okay for now. I just wanted to tell you guys, That no matter what you guys have done I love you and I'm proud of you guys.
I lost it. So did Ashley.
Ruthie: I love you too. I'm so sorry We disappointed you.
Ashley: Me too.
Dad: You guys have giving me two of the most beautifully grandbabies ever. I'm sorry I have been treating you different.
We hug and kiss him. We walk out. I realize Martin never has called me back. I look up and everybody is looking at me.
Ruthie: What's wrong?
Mom: Martin, is on his way with Kyle he has a 102 fever.
Right when she said that. Martin came running and Sarah met him and took Kyle back. I ran over to Martin. He holds me. I can feel him shaking.
Ruthie: I want to go with him.
Martin: He is going to be okay. Sarah will let us know when we can see him.
Ruthie: No, I want to be with my baby. He needs me.
Matt: Ruthie you can't go back there yet. Sarah will come get you as soon as you can.
Martin walked me back to the waiting room. I felt like hours had passed but it had only been about 45 minutes when Sarah came back out. Me and Martin ran over to her.
Ruthie: Is he okay, when can I see him?
Sarah: He is going to be fine. He has a double ear infection. But we got his fever down and he's a sleep right now.
Martin: Thanks Sarah.
Sarah: Your welcome. He is in room four, by the nurses station. He can go home when he wakes up.
We walked back to the room. He was sound a sleep. He looked so helpless laying there hooked to all the iv's. I want to hold him so bad.
Martin: Roo, he is going to be okay.
Ruthie: I'm never going to leave him with anybody again.
Martin: Ruthie, it wasn't their fault. In fact they gave him medicine but he just through it up. And that's when I called.
Ruthie: I know it's not their fault. But I'm still not leaving him.
Sarah came back to check on him and give us his perceptions.
Sarah: By the looks of his ears he is going to have a lot of infections. You guys might have to put tubes in later.
Martin: Well like father like son. They had to put them in me when I was little.
Sarah: A lot of kids have to have them.
Ruthie: Thank you for taking care of him.
Sarah hugged me.
Sarah: I remember the first time the boys got sick I was so scared, and I'm a doctor. It does help when they get older and they can tell you what's wrong instead of having to guess.
He woke up and Sarah took his temp. It was staying down so she took the iv out. She handed him to me and put his oneise back on. It was about 11:30 we headed home. Mac and Sandy where waiting up for us.
Mac: How is he?
Martin: He's got a double ear infection. But he is going to be okay.
Sandy: Thank god.
We went up to bed but it wasn't long before Kyle was screaming again. I tried to nurse him but he didn't want it. Martin gave him some more baby Tylenol. By now everybody was a wake.
Ruthie: Shhh it's okay. You got to be quite so you don't wake grandma up. We have all had a long day.
I finally got him clamed down enough to eat. He finally goes back to sleep. I put him back into his crib and go to bed.
Ashley's POV
Dad has been in the hospital for a week and was going to get to come home today. Kyle finally got over his ear infections. Poor Ruthie and Martin they haven't got much sleep. Payton is doing great she has her one month check up and shots today. She didn't like the shots at all. She's still we are meeting girls for our last dress fitting for Simon's wedding. They where going to postpone it, but dad didn't want them to. I'm a little late.
Ashley: Hey guys sorry I'm late.
Sandy: It's okay we are still waiting on Lucy and Savannah.
Mary takes Payton out of her car seat.
Mary: It's okay Payton. How many did she have to have?
Ashley: Yes, two one in each leg.
Mary: I'm sorry.
Ashley: At least you got her to be quite. She is a daddy's girl. And daddy had a away game today.
Sarah: How are you and Mac doing?
Ashley: Pretty good. His dad want him to go back to school and start working for him.
Ruthie: How did that go over?
Ashley: Like a lead balloon. He knows he needs to go back to school but he still wants to play.
Ruthie: Martin really misses it. The trainer said that he might be able to play next season.
Mary: That's good. I bet he's really happy about that.
Lucy walks in with Savannah. We try our dresses on. I really like the dresses. They actually look really good on us. Both of us have been working out a lot to lose the baby weight. They where light blue strapless sundress.
Mary: So did the guys have to get their tuxes today?
Sandy: No they just have to pick them up Friday.
Mary: Cool.
Lucy: Mary did you get the tickets?
Mary: Yes, but you weren't suppose to tell her yet.
Sandy: Tell me what?
Ruthie: We know you didn't want a party.
Ashley: So we know you like Gretchen Wilson.
Mary: We are all going Friday night.
Sandy: Thank you guys so much. I can't believe you got tickets.
A/N: Thanks guys for reading. Please review. I actually got to go see Gretchen Wilson last Wednesday night. She was great.
