Sandy had to resist the urge to turn around and run away when she spotted Mary and Ben getting snacks from vending machines by the nurses' station.

"Mary?" she finally managed to croak out weakly.

"Yes," Mary said turning around to face her.

"Um I'm…I'm Sandy, Kevin said you were looking for me.

"Yes, I've been looking everywhere for you. We need to talk," She said firmly. "Ben, could you give us a few minutes?" She asked.

"Sure, I'll go check on Savannah. Call my cell if you girls need anything," he said sweetly as he looked down at her ever growing belly.

"I will," she said while giving him a quick peck before he walked toward Savannah's room.

"Let's take a walk," Mary suggested to Sandy.

"I don't think that is a good idea," Sandy said nervously.

"Why not?" "Come on, let's walk and talk."

"Look Mary, I know what this is about and I am sorry. I don't blame you or anyone else in your family for hating me. I am only here because I felt it was the right thing to do," Sandy explained.

"My family doesn't hate you. It may seem like some of them do, but they will come around, trust me," Mary assured her.

"How can you be so sure and if you know what I did then why are you being so nice to me?"

"You and I are more alike than you think," Mary said with a sigh.

"What you mean?"

"Let's take that walk and I'll tell you," Mary said with a smile.

Simon couldn't believe what had happened in the last 12 hours. He'd been left at the altar, found out he had a son, realized his best friend had been lying to him, and now was sitting at hospital as his family fell slowly apart.

'I have to do something,' Simon thought to himself.

Meanwhile on the other side of the hospital Kevin sat in Lucy's room hoping she'd wake up even though it had barely been a day and the doctors estimated it would be at least a week. He knew she would want him to be with the kids, but he couldn't bear to be away from her any longer. Eric and Annie were with the twins and his mom and Patty Mary were watching Savannah so he knew they were in good hands. When he could no longer stand the silence of her hospital room Kevin figured he should talk to Lucy.

"Luce, it's me…um, we are parents again. Twin boys, can you believe it? I still can't believe it. They are so tiny, but don't worry Ben and I can already tell they are little fighters. Did I tell Ben was here? He is here with Mary don't get too excited through it doesn't seem good. And something tells me you may have been right about Aaron because Simon, Martin and Sandy are acting really weird. Why doesn't that surprise me? You know this family better than anyone. You hold us together Luce. Please wake up, I can't do this on my own," Kevin begged while holding her hand.

"Hey Kev, let's go get some coffee," Ben suggested after poking his head into the room and hearing what Kevin had said.

"I really should get back to the kids," Kevin said with a tired sigh

"Oh come on, coffee will do you good, you look tired.

"I really think I should get back to the twins."

"I'll tell you what, if you go get coffee with me I'll tell you why I am here with Mary so you come back and tell Lucy and then get back to the kids, ok?"

"All right," Kevin said reluctantly.

Kevin and Ben decided to stay in the hospital cafeteria to talk so they could avoid the rest of the family hearing until the time was right.

"Kevin, you can't tell anyone why I am here, Mary and I are going to explain once things have calmed down," Ben explained.

"How can tell them if I don't even know yet?"

"Just promise me," Ben insisted.

"Ok, ok, I promise I won't say anything. Just tell me."

"Mary's twins are mine," Ben confessed hesitantly.

"Ben, she's married, what the hell were you thinking?"

"It's not what you think. They separated over a year ago and she even filed for divorce, but then Charlie got sick and needed a bone marrow transplant," Ben explained.

"Bone Marrow. How sick is he and why didn't Mary tell anyone?"

"She thought she had it handled. She didn't worry anyone." "We started seeing each other a couple months after she filed for divorce. She didn't even want to speak to Carlos again after finding him with the nanny, but she had to.

"Carlos cheated on Mary?" Kevin asked in disbelief.

"She caught him twice, but he said that those other women didn't matter and he wanted her back. She wasn't going to take him back, but then he said that was the only way he'd give Charlie the bone marrow so she thought she'd pretend for a while until Charlie was better. We didn't plan on the family finding out until after the girls were born, but neither of us wanted to be away at a time like this," explained Ben.

"So how is Charlie?" Why isn't he here with you guys?" Kevin questioned worriedly.

"Well, that's the thing. The bone marrow did the trick and he is fine now, but when Mary finally told Carlos the truth he got angry and sued for custody. He now has Charlie temporarily and we have to go to court on the 31st and plead our case. Mary is a nervous wreck and honestly so am I. Kev, I don't know I am freaking out."

"Join the club I don't know what I am going to do if Lucy doesn't…"

"Hey, I know what you're thinking. Don't even say it. Lucy and the boys are going to be fine. Everyone is going to be fine," Ben said hoping to reassure himself as much as Kevin.

Meanwhile Simon's quest to stay busy landed him at the Diary Shack picking up a late night for the rest of the family who had decided to spend the night at the hospital, in hopes that it would revive them a bit.

"Simon, Martin called earlier and told me what's going on. How are you holding up? How is Lucy?" Mac asked worriedly.

"I am going stir crazy. There's been no change with Lucy. I just found out I, me, Simon Camden, am a dad, and my best friend betrayed me. I don't know what to do," Simon said sadly.

"You'll figure it out Simon, you Camdens' always do. Uh I don't mean to be rude, but do you know what you want to order? I kind of have to move things along here, but I was going to stop by the hospital after my shift," Mac said kindly.

"Uh yeah, I'll have 8 burgers, 8 medium fries, 8 large cokes, a chicken sandwich with no tomato, a medium onion ring, and a large vanilla shake with extra cherries."

"For Sandy, right?"

"What?"

"That's her usual," Mac said as wrote down the order.

"Oh right it is. I have to go, but I'll see you later," Simon said as he turned to go back to his car.

"Simon, wait. You almost forgot the food," Mac said while putting the bags upon the counter.

"Thanks," Simon said before grabbing it, getting back in his car and heading toward the Camden's neighborhood.

As strange as it may seem the realization that Simon had automatically ordered Sandy her usual from The Diary Shack when had no intention of doing so both scared and excited him. It may seem mundane to most people, but not to Simon, after all, his mother always said it was the little things like that made people perfect for each other. Sure Sandy had ordered that same thing every time he'd had lunch with her at the Diary Shack, but that fact that he was able to remember and order it for her today when he was so incredibly angry with her had to mean something. The thought that they could still be right for each other despite everything was earth shattering for Simon so he decided to go by the house and ask Martin a few questions before going back to the hospital to deliver the food and talk to Sandy.

Martin suddenly felt like he could fly. He couldn't believe that Ruthie had just said those words to him. At one point he thought she'd never say them to him again so now that she had he could resist the urge to be close to her. He didn't care that she was sick, for Ruthie he'd risk anything. While being careful not to rustle the covers too much so he would not disturb her he slowly slipped into the bed so he could lay next to her. To his delight when he did this she stirred slightly and then repositioned to where her body was right up against his. He reviled in how absolutely great it felt to have Ruthie so close to him. Although he feared it might end once she got over the bug she was battling and realized what she had said he knew two things for sure, he never wanted it to end, and he would do whatever it took to make sure it didn't.

Simon began to worry as he pulled into the neighborhood and saw that neither the Camden house nor Brewer house had lights on. 'Martin was supposed to have brought Ruthie and the twins back hours ago. They should all be home by now,' Simon thought. Just then he spotted Martin's dad pulling into the Camden driveway. "Oh hey Simon, I didn't think you'd be here. Martin called earlier and said that he was staying to watch the twins. I just got back from a late dinner so I thought I come and check them before I go home and hit the hay." Beau explained. "I was going to go by your house and talk to Martin. I didn't realize he was staying over," Simon said apprehensively.

"Oh don't worry. I am sure there isn't funny business going on. He loves Ruthie too much to do anything stupid. I am sure he just feels like he should stay with her. It's a shame she won't forgive him for little Aaron. I can tell he misses the relationship they use to have." Beau said solemnly.

"I thought he told you he stayed over to watch the boys?" Simon asked, beginning to feel a little uneasy hearing about Martin's feelings for his little sister and how Aaron had changed things for the two of them.

"Sure, we can pretend to buy that story if it makes you feel better. Let's just go in and check on them, ok?"

"Ok," Simon agreed.

"Well, it look like Martin may have started to make a bed for himself out here on the couch, but he's not out here," Beau called to Simon.

"Maybe you should check the kitchen. I am going to go up stairs to check on Ruthie and the boys," Simon answered.

After seeing that Sam and David were sleeping soundly in their beds Simon made his way down the hall to Ruthie's room. "What is going on here?" He screamed as he opened the door.

"Simon, what are you doing here?" Ruthie yelled after being startled out of her sleep. "Did something happen at the hospital? Is Lucy ok?" She asked nervously as she began to wake up as the events of the day came back to her.

"What do you mean what am I doing here, what are you doing here?" Simon shouted as it occurred to him that he was probably feeling the way Matt felt when he caught Mary and Wilson in her bed.

"It's not what you think," Martin piped up in their defense as he realized what was probably going through Simon's head.

"Yeah, it's definitely not," Ruthie said surprised to discover that it wasn't just a dream and Martin was really laying next to her.

"Be quiet or you'll wake Sam and David, what's all of the yelling about anyway?" Beau asked as he walked into Ruthie's room.

"Dad!" Martin screamed before jumping out of Ruthie's bed.

"Uh, what's going on here son?" Beau asked baffled.

"It's not what you think," Martin repeated. "We were just sleeping."

"Yeah. I was just sleeping. I didn't even know he was there. Seriously Simon I've been barfing half the night. The bowl is right there if you don't believe me," Ruthie explained pointing toward the bowl.

"She's telling the truth Simon. I just wanted to be near her in case she got sick again," Martin explained feeling a little hurt by the fact that hadn't realized he was laying with her after all.

"You expect me to believe that you a teenage farth--" Simon stopped himself short as he remembered that he was in fact the farther of Aaron.

Sensing the awkwardness of the moment Beau stepped in.

"Oh come on Simon, their story is believable enough and you've all had a long day why not just give them the benefit of a doubt," he suggested.

"Ok, I'll let Ruthie get back to sleep, but I need to talk to Martin before I go back to the hospital." Simon said with authority.

"Simon, I swear we didn't…" Martin began in a nervous voice.

"It's not about you and Ruthie…it's about Aaron," Simon explained stopping him mid-sentence.

With that Simon, Martin and Beau turned to leave Ruthie's room.

"There's been no change with Lucy or her boys. I'll come to get you, Sam and David first thing in the morning to take to the hospital. Get some rest Ruthie," Simon said lovingly before starting to close her door.

"Simon," Ruthie said stopping him.

"Yeah," he said poking his head back in the door.

"I am sorry about Sandy,"

"Me too Ruthie, me too," he said solemnly before closing her door.

Simon was setting at the kitchen with Martin ready to ask him some burning questions about Sandy when his cell rang.

"Simon, get to the hospital. One of Lucy's boys just had a stroke," explained Reverend Camden nervously.

"We're coming," said Simon before snapping his phone shut and grabbing his coat.

"What's wrong?" Martin asked sensing whatever it was, wasn't good.

"Get Ruthie and the twins we've got to go to the hospital now."
