Chapter 1 Carlin Home

Spencer is in her bedroom at her parent's house. She is finishing packing up the rest of her belongings. As she is closing and taping one of the boxes, Paula shows up in the doorway.

"Are you sure you're ready for this?" Paula folds her arms watching her only daughter, concern written all over her face.

"Mom, we've gone over this." Spencer sighs putting one of her stuffed animals into a box. "Ashley and I have been together for two years now."

"Not a full two years, you have been off and on." Paula protests. "I just think you two are moving fast…"

"Mom." Spencer's firm tone warns Paula.

"I know." Paula takes a deep breath before continuing. "But you're stepping into full time motherhood at 18." Paula enters the room and takes a seat on Spencer's bed. She picks up one of the stuffed animals and looks at it. "I want you to finish college, have the college experiences and being a parent…."

Spencer stops and looks at her mother, as she is about to reply, she is interrupted by a little squeal. Spencer stops what she is doing and has the biggest grin plastered on her face, as she waits for the person who belongs to that little squeal to make them selves known.

"Mommy." A three-year girl, with brown curly hair and big brown eyes comes running into the room jumping into Spencer's waiting arms. Spencer glares at Paula as she sees Paula's body tense at the little girl calling her mommy. Spencer is hugging the little girl when Ashley appears in the doorway.

"Abigail." Ashley tries to say firmly, folding her arms standing in the doorway. Ashley and Spencer make eye contact and Ashley gets a huge goofy grin on her face. "Abby, you were suppose to wait for me before going upstairs on your own."

"Sowry mama" Abby buries her head in the crook of Spencer's next. "I wanted mommy."

"I know that sweetie." Ashley enters and puts her hand on Abby's back. "But you still need to wait for an adult to come up stairs."

"Mommy's an adult." Abby whispers still hiding her face in the crook of Spencer's neck, as her hands tiny hands begin to play with Spencer's hair.

Spencer holds back a chuckle watching Ashley. She raises an eyebrow watching the love of her life handle a very stubborn and intelligent little mini Ashley.

"Yes, she is, but you still need to listen to me when I ask you to wait." Ashley rubs the back of Abby's back. "Understand?" Abby nods her head as she still hides her face in the crook of Spencer's neck. Ashley reaches into her pocket and hands Spencer a set of keys. Spencer leans over and kisses Ashley as she takes the keys.

Paula clearing her throat interrupts the two and they pull apart. "Hi Paula." Ashley turns seeing Spencer's mother sitting on Spencer's bed holding a stuffed animal. She pulls out another set of keys and hands them to Paula. "These are keys to my," stops and looks at Spencer and Abby. "Our apartment." Ashley smile gets wider at saying that.

Abby looks at Paula with a grin on her face. Spencer looks from Ashley to Paula, back to Ashley as Paula takes the set of keys. "Those are only for emergencies." Spencer clarifies. "Like call before you come over."

Paula shakes her head letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "I will." She whispers. As she watches Ashley grab some boxes, Spencer sets Abby down hands her two stuffed animals and then picks up some boxes following the duo out.

One Year Later

Park by school

Spencer and Arthur are sitting on a bench watching Abby play on the playground.

"You don't get to do this Spencer." Arthur lovingly says to his daughter, but with a serious tone. "You don't get to walk away after a year because it all of a sudden got to hard." Spencer looks at her father with tears in her eyes. "You chose this life, you chose to be in that little girls life." Arthur nods towards the little girl running around laughing and playing with a group of kids. She makes eye contact with Arthur.

Abby comes running over concern on her face. "Mommy, what's wrong?" She asks seeing Spencer crying. She sits down next to Spencer and puts her hand on Spencer's leg. "Is grandpa being mean?"

"No sweetie, grandpa isn't being mean." Spencer smiles through her tears as Abby crawls up on her lap.

"Is it cause mama was being mean to you?" Abby innocently asks.

"Why do you think mama is being mean?" Spencer replies trying to think if her daughter had seen their fight.

Earlier that week

Ashley is standing in front of Spencer, both girls are angry and previously yelling. Ashley holds her phone out revealing a picture of a boy, kissing Spencer.

"I'm not having you followed. It's all over the magazines." Ashley looks at her phone again at the picture and tears fall down her face.

"God, I'm not cheating on you Ashley." Spencer yells out of frustration. "He's an old friend I ran into." Spencer takes the phone out of Ashley's hands and looks at the picture, deleting it.

"Old friend?" Ashley coughs out, whispers loud enough that Spencer hears. "Shoulda known like mother, like daughter."

Spencer impulsively slaps Ashley across the face at the accusation. "Fuck you Ashley." Spencer says as she begins to gather her belongings and leaves the house.

Ashley stands holding the side of her face as tears fall down her cheeks. Abby who had been hiding behind the couch this whole time tries to silently make her way upstairs. Neither parent seeing her or knowing she saw everything.

Back to the park

"Did you see us fighting?" Spencer asks.

"You hit mama and said a bad word." Abby eyes go to the ground. "Are you not going to be my mommy anymore?"

"Oh sweetie." Spencer hugs the girl tightly to her. "I'll always be your mommy." Spencer looks at her father Arthur with understanding now of what he was talking about early. "You're mama and I will work things out."

Present DayCarlin-Davis Home

It is a beautiful bright morning at the Carlin-Davies home. All the kids are up and getting ready for Ashley to come home from her 3-month tour. Unknown to anyone, Ashley enters the house quietly and stops in the kitchen doorway. She arrived 2 hours earlier than expected and wanted to surprise everyone.

"Mom, why can't I get a tattoo?" Abby asks while looking in the refrigerator. She smiles as she sees a coffee drink and takes it from the fridge.

"Because you're too young." Spencer replies coming up behind her taking the coffee drink from her as she carries Parker on her hip. "This one is mine, find your own." Spencer looks at her teenage daughter and puts her drink back in the fridge.

Abby rolls her eyes and takes the water. "Didn't mama have a tattoo at my age?" She asks as she takes a drink of water.

"She was 16 and it's different." Spencer sits the toddler in a high chair, gets out a banana, breaks it up and puts it on the tray.

The toddler begins to squeeze the banana in her hand then begins to eat it. Watching her older sister and Mommy arguing.

"How is it different?" Challenging brown eyes meet challenging blue eyes.

"Because I didn't have caring parents like you do." Ashley smiles making her presence known. Spencer smile widens as the two embrace and kiss, a kiss that's long and passionate.

"Mommy." The toddler yells from the high chair squished banana flinging in the air.

"Eww get a room." Abby covers her eyes as well as her little sisters, dodging squished banana.

Ashley and Spencer laugh watching the two girls as she they hug each other not wanting to let the other go. The toddler however doesn't last long before she begins to get really squirmy. Spencer wets a paper towel walks over and wipes down the toddler as she gets her out of the high chair.

"Did I hear Mama?" Clay appears in the doorway a smile as huge as Spencer's. He runs over and jumps into Ashley's arms.

"Where's Carson?" Ashley puts Clay down as he runs over to the bottom of the stairs.

"Carson, mama's home." Clay yells up the stairs.

"Well I coulda done that." Ashley laughs walking back over to Spencer and putting her arms around her and Parker. She nuzzles into Spencer's neck and inhales. "God I've missed you."

Spencer turns around in Ashley's arms "I've missed you too." The two begin to kiss again. Parker making kissing noises as well. Spencer and Ashley turn their kisses towards their daughter.

Abby rolls her eyes as she gets into the fridge and looks for a coffee she can have. She grabs her drink and some fruit and leaves to find her phone.

Ashley and Spencer are only interrupted when Carson's squeals can be heard and little feet running towards them.

"Mama!" Carson comes barreling in like a freight train that can't stop.

"Whoa there buddy." Ashley crinkles her nose as she smiles and braces to catch her youngest son. Carson runs directly into Ashley as she gives him a huge hug.

"Mama, do you know how to make a tissue dance?" Carson asks seriously looking at Ashley.

"No how?" Ashley looks to Spencer raising her eyebrows. Spencer smiles and shrugs her shoulders.

"Put a little boogie in it." Carson begins to laugh really hard as Ashley chuckles. Ashley puts Carson down as he continues to laugh as he runs over to his big brother.

Clay is at the fridge too looking for something to snack on.

"He's been on this kick about jokes." Spencer gives a simple explanation. "Clay and Carson have been looking at a joke book every night."

"I see." Ashley's grin is huge. She goes to take Parker from Spencer, and Parker clings tighter to Spencer hiding her face in the crook of Spencer's neck. Ashley gets a discouraged look on her face.

"Time Ash."

Abby comes back into the kitchen texting on her phone. "Mom, Can I go out with Mitchell and Erica tonight?"

"No, You're mom just got home." Spencer replies looking at Abby.

"So my life has to stop?" Abby replies looking at Ashley and Spencer. "So not fair. All you two are going to do is have dinner, put kids to bed then go to your room for the night." Abby turns to walk away. "I don't see why I have to be here for your sex-capades."

"Abigail!" Spencer yells after her.

"Spence, it's okay." Ashley replies. "She's right." Ashley gets a mischievous grin on her face. "She can go."

"Thank you." Abby replies smiling.

"Why don't Mitchell and Erica come over for dinner tonight?" Spencer suggests.

Mitchell and Erica have been Abby's best friends since Abby got bumped from Kindergarten to first grade. The three are inseparable. They first met when Abby was being teased by an older group of kids for having two mommies. Abby, being a fighter, decided to take on the group herself. She was beating on this kid name John before his friends decided to jump in. That's when Mitchell and Erica joined in having just met Abby and ever since then they have been the three musketeers.

"I'll ask." Abby rolls her eyes, again, knowing what Spencer is trying to do. It's been this way ever since Ashley started touring with her band. Abby sits down in a chair madly texting her friends.

"I swear her eyes are going to stick to the back of her head she does that so much." Spencer remarks looking at Ashley. Ashley smirks watching her wife and is entertained that their daughter, acts just like they did when they were teenagers.

The friendship between Mitchell, Erica and Abby reminded Ashley so much of Hers, Aiden and Spencer's friendship…. Except she doesn't think her daughter is in love with her best friend…at least not when she left to go on tour 3 months ago. Hell, Ashley didn't even know if her daughter liked boys or girls. Ashley gets a somber look on her face realizing how much she is missing out on her kid's lives to live her dream. She looks at her youngest daughter Parker who has yet to let go of Spencer treating Ashley like a stranger.

"Uh oh, I know that look" Spencer walks over and puts a hand on her wife.

"So what are we having for dinner?" Ashley crinkles her nose putting her hand on Spencer's then begins to rub Parkers back as the toddler yawns avoiding having a serious conversation at this moment.

"I don't know." Spencer gives an impish grin and goes with the subject change knowing her wife. "My dad is cooking."

"Alright." Ashley gets overly excited. "Mr. C's food. I'm excited!"

"Gee thanks." Spencer playfully hits Ashley on the shoulder.

"No hit." Parker lifts her shoulder and madly looks at Spencer. " No hit."

"Oh I'm sorry, you're right baby girl, I shouldn't hit mama." Spencer playfully taps Parkers nose and the toddler smiles laying her head back down on Spencer's shoulder. "I think someone is getting sleepy."

"No" Parker yawns.

"How bout mama lay you down?"

"No" Parker says grumpily. "No sweep"

Carson and Clay begin to laugh really loudly.

"What are you two doing in there?" Ashley asks walking over and looking at her boys.

"Reading." Carson smiles brightly at his mama holding up his Ipad to a joke application that is verbally telling them jokes. "Want to hear some more jokes."

"Sure." Ashley takes a seat on the couch next to her sons and listens to some of the jokes that are being played. All three begin to laugh as Carson picks another one.

Spencer stops in the doorway, Parker fast asleep on her shoulder. She has the biggest smile on her face. She loves seeing her family all together. Her attention turns back to Abby who is still texting her friends.

Couple hours later

Ashley and Clay are sitting at the table going over some homework. Clay is a good kid, but struggles so much with school. He tries, but has a hard time understanding and keeping up. Tears begin to fall down his face as he struggles trying to read within the time limit given. Clay works very hard to get his C's.

"I can't." Clay cries out frustrated, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Yes you can." Ashley replies putting her hand on her sons back. She glances over to Spencer who is coloring with Carson. She had no idea it was this bad with Clay and school. How does she do it? Ashley wonders to herself.

Abby enters the room. She is the exact opposite of Clay, everything comes so easy for her, and as a matter of fact Abby was advanced in a lot of areas growing up. Abby however intelligent was also diagnosed with ADHD and would often get into trouble for not being able to sit still and get into fights and do impulsive things. Abby began to rebel as she got older and school became boring to her. It was around the 5th grade, the first time Spencer and Ashley had a temporary separation due to Ashley drinking and partying while out on tour with the band. A magazine had photos of a girl all over Ashley and the headline reading "Rock Star Legacy has girl on side." It took Spencer and Ashley 6 months to clear the air and for Ashley to move back in.

"Homework needs to be done before anything else." Spencer smiles at Abby.

"I don't have any." Abby replies not making eye contract with Spencer.

Homework and Abby have not been going so well. The first 6 weeks of school and parent teacher conferences showed that Abby had done no homework those 6 weeks. Spencer was furious with her daughter for lying to her. Ashley tried to be the long distant parent lecturing over the phone while on tour, but like usual it fell on deaf ears. So Abby was kicked off the volleyball team as a school consequence till grades

"Abigail, don't lie to me." Spencer warns.

"I'm not.' Abby finally looks at her mother. "We just have a video project due in a couple days."

"And how far are you along on the project?" Ashley inquires. Abby's silence answers it. "You are to start it before leaving today." Ashley warns.

Spencer takes a deep breath knowing that Ashley just caved into Abby's tricks. It's hard having her on the road and a daughter who is just as smart and cunning as her wife was at that age.

"Ok." Abby replies opening the door for Mitchell and Erica to enter.

Mitchell is a tall 6'2" athletically built boy. He has sandy blonde hair and deep brown eyes. Erica is not much taller than Abby, with dark blue eyes, and dark hair with multi-colored streaks. Erica also has her tongue pierced, eyebrow and multiple piercing on her ears. She has a few tattoos that are not seen with clothes on.

"We'll take a break Clay." Ashley gets up and goes over to greet the kids that were always at the house.

"Mrs. D, welcome home." Mitchell gives a bright white smile.

"Mitchell" Ashley hugs him and looks to Erica. "Erica, how has everyone been?"

"Good."

"Mom, we need to go work on our video project." Abby smirks looking at Mitchell and Erica.

The three teenagers walk upstairs to Abby's room.

Abby's room is a bit of a mess, more like a tornado of clothes hit it. Mitchell sits down in her computer chair after removing some clothing. Erica sits down on her bed.

"Video project, you mean the one that was due last week?" Erica asks. "You know if you would just do the homework, life would be so much easier."

"I don't see the need. Homework is to help understand material better, I understand it just fine." Abby smirks at Erica.

"So what and where are we going tonight?"

Abby goes over to a small drawer and opens it. She digs through it and pulls out a baggy. "It's 4:20 somewhere." She replies beaming.

Mitchell shakes his head. "Can't, basketball physicals happen in three weeks. Drug testing."

Erica looks at Mitchell and throws a dirty shirt at him. "Such a square." She smirks. "Why do we keep him around?" She playfully asks Abby.

"To get the stuff off the top shelves." Abby replies handing the baggy to Erica.

"Love you guys too." Mitchell smiles taking a bottle pop off Abby's desk and take a drink, he then spits it back out. "What the hell is in this?"

"Vodka. I think." Abby replies taking the bottle and trying it. "Rum, sorry." She smiles and hands the bottle to Erica. Erica takes a drink and hands it back to Mitchell. Mitchell turns it down.

"Square." Erica teases. "That's why we love you so much!" She hands the bottle to Abby and Abby takes a long gulp of the rum shaking her body as she swallows it.

XXXXXXXX

Erica and Abby end up on Abby's bed, lying really close together. Erica turns and faces Abby, whose face is getting a bit red from drinking the rum too fast. Erica moves closer till their faces are few inches apart.

Mitchell clears his throat. "Want me to leave?" Mitchell smiles at his two best friends.

"No." Abby replies pulling back then getting up and walking into her bathroom.

"Ass." Erica sits up and throws a pillow at Mitchell.

Erica lets out a frustrated sigh and lies back down on the bed waiting for Abby to get done in the bathroom. Abby comes out taking going over to the bed and taking another gulp before sitting in front of her laptop.
