A/N: The song in this chapter is "My Risk" written by my sister Teresa. So Thank You Teresa.
"Mom, mom" Ruthie yelled as she ran through the house trying to find her mom.
She then remembered her mom telling her to watch the twins because she was going to the grocery store and she would be back in an hour.
"Crap" Ruthie mumbled under her breath as she ran into the kitchen. Simon was sitting at the table eating a sandwich.
"Simon I need a ride" Ruthie said
"Where?" Simon asked
"The hospital I'll explain on the way, you go start the car and I will get Sam and David" Ruthie said quickly
"Okay" Simon said as he grabbed his coat and keys. Simon headed out the door as Ruthie headed up the stairs and into Sam and David's room.
" Guy's come on we are going for a car ride, pick a toy and follow me," Ruthie said
They each grabbed a toy and followed Ruthie down the stairs and to the car.
Ruthie got the twins in the car and buckled them in the got in the front seat. The drove off towards the hospital Ruthie turned on the radio after she finished explaining to Simon why they were going to the Hospital. A song came on and Ruthie closed her eyes and listened to it.
How I wish that you could see there's so much more to meAnd how I wish you could be brave enough to take this Risk with me… Risk with me…
So I took a risk, and it turned out wrong
I put my heart out on a ledge praying it would
Come back, with loving arms around … my risk was wrong
And if I could make you love me … then I would,
But you see it doesn't work like I think it should
And if I had your heart I would take it and forever I would be free
So I took a risk, and it turned out wrong
I put my heart out on a ledge praying it would
Come back, with loving arms around … my risk was wrong
And I thought, I could be happy and I
Thought I should take a risk and I
Hoped and I prayed that you would see all the parts of me
And I prayed you could see everything that
You meant to me. And I hoped and I prayed that you would see that I needed someone by my side
So I took a risk, and it turned out wrong
I put my heart out on a ledge praying it would
Come back, with loving arms around … my risk was wrong
The challenges I faced the tears I didn't
want to darken my face…well they fell for so long…well they fell to my heart
So I took a risk, and it turned out wrong
I put my heart out on a ledge praying it would
Come back, with loving arms around … my risk was wrong
I have tried to see the logic in this choice
But my heart keeps in coming back to me
And I can't just let this go. I said things I can't
Take back but I was wrong your not who
I thought you were
So I took a risk, and it turned out wrong
I put my heart out on a ledge praying it would
Come back, with loving arms around … my risk was wrong
I was wrong I've made mistakes it's just
Another one to add to my list of regrets
So I took a risk and it turned out wrong
So I took a risk, and it turned out wrong
I put my heart out on a ledge praying it would
Come back, with loving arms around … my risk was wrong
…My risk was wrong
By the time the song ended they had arrived at the hospital ….
Ruthie got out of the car and went into the Emergency room while Simon got Sam and David and followed her in. As soon as Ruthie got in she heard two babies screaming at the top of their lungs. Ruthie went over to the receptionist who was holding one of the screaming babies, the receptionist noticed her and smiled.
"Are you Ruthie Camden?" asked the receptionist
"Yes that's me" Ruthie replied
The receptionist got up and handed her the screaming baby as soon as the baby was in Ruthie's arms she stopped crying the nurse went back around and got the diaper bag and the other baby who was in an infant seat and handed them to Simon she handed the empty infant seat to Ruthie. Ruthie knelt down took two pacifiers out of the diaper bag and put one in each of the babies mouths. She then turned back to the receptionist.
"How are Sandy Jameson and Martin Brewer" Asked Ruthie
" Sandy Jameson is dead and Martin Brewer is in a coma, do you have any way of contacting Martin's parents?" The receptionist
"Yes I'll call his father" Ruthie answered
She took out her cell phone and dialed Martins home number that she knew by heart, when no one picked up she hung up then dialed Martin's father's cell phone number.
He answered on the second ring
"Hello" Mr. Brewer said
" Hi Mr. Brewer, it's Ruthie Camden I'm down at the hospital Martin and Sandy were in a car accident. Sandy is dead and Martin is in a coma " Ruthie told him
"What about the babies?" Mr. Brewer asked
"They are fine, I have them with me" Ruthie Said
"I'll be there in 15 minutes," said Mr. Brewer
"Okay see you then bye" Ruthie said
"Bye" Mr. Brewer said
She hung up the phone and turned to Simon
"Lucy, Kevin, Mom and dad are on their way," Simon said
"Mr. Brewer is on his way" Ruthie Said
She then turned back to the receptionist
"Where is Martin Brewer?" Ruthie asked
'He's in the ICU third floor but I'm not sure which room" responded the receptionist
"Thank you" Ruthie replied
She then turned back to Simon
"I'm going to go up and see him, you stay down here and wait for everyone" Said Ruthie
"Okay but what about the babies?" Asked Simon
"I'll take them with me" Ruthie said as she bent down and put the baby that was in her arms into the empty infant seat. She buckled the baby in.
She then stood up put the diaper bag over her shoulder then picked up the infant seats by the handles and walked to the elevator.
