Oh my! It's been OVER a month since I've updated this one, I'm so sorry! I really shouldn't have rushed the whole proposal thing with this fic as I've got writers block now! I think there may only be 3 chapters left I'm not quite sure. Anyway if you read take a little time out of your life to post be a review! Enjoy!

NOTE: I don't know if I said what time of year its set, well anyway now it's the middle of December.

It had been four months since martin had proposed to Ruthie, three months since Mac got a girlfriend- much to Martin's relief. Two months since they booked the date for their wedding- December 28th which also happened to be Ruthie's birthday and One month since Ruthie had purchased her dress.

"Who am I kidding Mac?" Ruthie was pacing around her room whilst Mac was sitting on the end of her bed.

"Ruthie its 2 in the morning, will you please tell me why you've dragged me from my warm bed." he replied in a sleepy voice.

"I can't marry him."

"WHAT?" That sure woke Mac up.

"I'm only 17!"

"You'll be eighteen…"

"Barely! I won't be able to go to any college I want? What if I want to travel the world? What if my chosen career takes me far away? What if he gets fed up with me and says I'm too immature? What if…"

"Stop right there Ruthie Camden" he interrupted "You love him right?"

"Of course I do!"

"Then that's all that matters, isn't it? You can still go to any college you want or travel the world. Martin would follow you to the ends of the earth if he had to. And trust me Ruthie he won't get fed up with you, so stop being so paranoid!"

Ruthie knew Mac was right, as each day past she grew more and more paranoid wondering if getting married at such a young age was the right thing to do. One of her friends said getting married at 18 was like a death sentence, but it didn't matter what anyone else thought, right? She had no energy left to argue with him, she walked over to him and gave him a hug.

"Thanks, you've been really good to me the past few months, I don't know what I would have done without you" Their hug was interrupted by the sound of Mac's cell, he reached into his pocket to see the caller ID- Martin. He got up off the bed and flipped his cell open

"Martin." he said in a monotone voice

"Mac, hey! How you doing?"

"Fine. considering its… 2:16am!"

"Oh."

"What do you want?"

"Fancy a walk?"

"At 2:16? I think I'll pass thanks…" he replied sarcastically

"Please man I-I really need to talk to you."

Mac sighed heavily "I'm on my way."

"Thanks…" Mac hung up.

"Night Ruthie" He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and made a quiet exit out of the Camden house, trying not to wake anyone. He walked across the street and lightly knocked on the Brewers door. Martin automatically opened it.

"That was quick."

"Yeah. Can I come in then or are you going to watch me freeze to death?" Martin moved out the way and ushered him in towards the kitchen.

"Fancy a drink?" he nodded as Martin made his way to the fridge.

"So, why did you 'really need to talk to me'?" Martin grabbed a stool next to him and sighed.

"I can't do it."

"Cant do what?"

"You know…"

Mac shook his head confused "What?"

"Get married." Mac closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he had, had enough pre-wedding jitters already tonight.

"Oh…"

"Oh? Is that all you have to say?"

"Martin. You are not going to ruin her life, she is not going to ruin her education because of you, nor will she get fed up with you and run away into the sunset with some beach blonde guy."

Martin stood there stunned "how did…you know I was going to say all that??"

"Because I've just had your just as paranoid fiancé worrying over the wedding. She loves you and you love her, that's all you need, what will happen, will happen and no one can change that so do me a favour and stop worrying, talk to her martin, reassure each other."

Mac jumped off the stool and placed his hand on Martins shoulder as a reassuring gesture before he made his way out the front door and to his bed.

So that chapter had no real drama, it was basically just to get it closer to the wedding. The chapter was a little rushed and a little short but I am trying to update all my fic's and write new ones tonight ha-ha! So r&r thanks!
