A/N: I hope you like this update!
"I do too, baby" Shay kissed Ashley's head, as she moved her hands to the blonde's underbelly, caressing it with her fingertips, anxious to see Ashley's (and now hers too) baby.
After a week with intense morning sickness attacks and feeling like she wouldn't do anything useful for the rest of her life, finally Ashley was getting ready for go back to her work. She fixed a bit her hair, grabbed her purse and the keys of her apartment. Then she closed the door of her house and walked to the street, where Shay was waiting for her in her beautiful car. Shay handed Ashley a paper cup filled with warm black tea with a dash of burnt sugar and oatmeal cookies.
"Gosh, I love you, seriously..." Ashley smiled as she took a sip of the tea, closing her eyes.
"I know. Those meals should stay in your stomach and I called Stephanie yesterday" Shay was looking the road while she was driving. Traffic in LA was awful and the tanned girl was calculating how many minutes it would take arriving to the studios.
"Did you? What she said?" The blonde girl asked curious, checking her cellphone after eating her breakfast.
"She said that you have around three weeks because of the fetus' size and that you have an appointment on March 12th at 4 pm. Please tell me if it works for you" Shay took one of Ashley's hands, once they reached the studios of Warner Bros. On the radio, the sound of "You And I" by Avalanche City was muffled with the concentration of the girls looking into their eyes.
"It does" Was the simple answer of Ashley to Shay; her cheeks slightly flushing as she intertwined her fingers with Shay's ones. Also Shay's cheeks were slightly flushed as Ashley's ones.
But the romantic lingering looking moment ended when someone started to message Shay. It was Troian, asking if she had scenes to shoot and Shay replied, helping her friend to get out of her car.
Ashley was breathing hard, firmly holding the strip of her purse. She was really nervous about what will happen that morning. It looked like the entire universe was conspiring against her because the cast will had a meeting with the writers and producers of Pretty Little Liars and she must be there with all the people.
"Shay, help me please" Ashley whispered as she sat down on a chair, next to Keegan and Shay as well, talking a bit with the blue eyed guy.
"I'll do, trust me, it won't be so bad" Shay took one of Ashley's hands again, talking with her reassuring words that made the blonde girl calm down and wait for the moment that she would say something.
"And that is the main idea of this season. We'll have the fans hooked up trying to discover who is A, but giving them enough clues to have their own answers" Marlene rosed from her chair, looking to the people in that room with a smile and then, the main actors (Sasha, Troian, Shay, Ashley, Lucy, Tammin, Lindsay, Keegan, Ian, Drew, Laura, Holly and Janel) walked with Marlene and Oliver to another room, smaller than the other.
All sat down and Ashley raised her hand when Marlene asked if someone had to say something about the new season and Ashley arose form her chair, swallowing as Shay took her hand. The blonde smiled, with her cheeks flushed again.
"You know that I broke up with Ryan about three weeks ago, right?" Everybody nodded, frowning and looking to the girl with confussion. But the faces changed as she caressed her lower belly, smiling wide.
"So I think that I need my vacations soon, because I won't do some scenes when I start to gain weight and my belly start to grow" Ashley said while her gaze moved through everyone faces as her workmates were staring at her like she was a unicorn or something really strange and unique.
"Oh my..." Troian gasped in surprise as Sasha and Janel did too.
"No way!" Keegan shooked his head, laughing a bit.
"Really?" Lucy and Ian asked as they stared the people in the room. You could hear there a lower sound of whispers and gasps.
"Ashley, are you pregnant?" Oliver finally asked to the girl, who only nodded, still caressing her belly with a smile.
"Yess. I'm pregnant guys" She finally laughed a bit and Lucy rose from her chair, hugging the blonde girl tight.
"Oh my God, congratulations Ash!" Lucy said with Sasha, and then al the people hugged Ashley too, making her feel better than expected.
"Ashley... So, now that we know that you're pregnant, we need to take care of you. Well, of you two" Marlene smiled to the girl with her motherly gaze focused on the blonde girl. Tammin did the same because she was a mother too.
Then, the meeting ended and Ashley took one of Shay's hand, walking with her to the makeup room, where they sat down together, never separating their hands. When they were done with makeup, they went to the changing room, where they put the clothes for Hanna and Emily and they read the lines for a scene that they got that day.
It would be a hard day of working, but Shay and Ashley were happy and relaxed because everything went better than expected.
"Shay, you can't hide it anymore. Ashley needs to know that you like her" Michaela said with a sigh to her friend as the tanned girl was doing a couple of suitcases with her stuff. Ashley asked to move with her until she had another boyfriend that would love her even if she had a kid (and that he loved the kid too) or she felt enough strong to face the world as a famous young single mom.
"Not yet Mik, she has enough with being a single mom and the work" Shay replied, closing the last suitcase and went to her car to load it.
Once she was back on the house with Michaela, the blonde girl was with her arms folded, looking at Shay seriously.
"Just fucking tell her and watch her reaction!" Michaela shouted and Shay shooked her head, leaving the house and when she got into the car, she drove really fast to Ashley's apartment, trying to forget that her best friend was right and she should tell Ashley what she was feeling for her.
Shay's POV
Well, Michaela is right as the 99.9 percent of the times, but I can't tell Ashley that I'm in love with her. I mean, she would hate me and never talk to me and I wouldn't hold that... So I prefer to be her best friend, the one who will be always by her side instead of being far from her and torn because I can't see her.
Before getting into Ashley's house, Shay took with one of her hands the box that had inside a Tourtière that she had baked in the morning for the dinner with Ashley and in the other hand, she was carrying one of her suitcases. The others would wait in her car.
"Ashley, open the door please!" Shay shouted when she reached her friend's apartment door, waiting slightly impatient, because her heels were hurting her feet.
Then, the blonde sauntered to the hall where Shay was and helped her, holding her suitcase as Shay went inside the apartment's kitchen, leaving the tourtière on the counter and then, she went where Ashley was, taking the suitcase from her hands.
"You did something for dinner and I bet is delicious" Ashley smiled to Shay, setting the table for two.
"I don't know, maybe it is. Tourtière pour vous, miss Ashley" Shay chanted on a perfect French, heating the meat pie on the oven, until it was perfect for eat. The tanned girl poured two slices of the pie on plates and gave one to Ashley.
"Gosh, your French is beautiful and adorable" The blonde laughed and then she ate a bite of Shay's tourtière, moaning at the delicious taste of it. "Oh shit Shay, this taste like Heaven!"
"Well, I'm Canadian. French and delicious food are my stuff with DYI and decoration" Shay laughed with Ashley.
"You're like the young Canadian version of Martha Stewart, seriously" The blonde giggled and her friend did too.
"Thanks" Shay blushed, finishing her dinner and then her friend did it too.
When it was around 10pm, Ashley got into her King sized bed with a cute pj that Shay gave to her, snuggling on her side and then, Shay went to the bed, smiling to Ashley.
"Well, it looks like you don't wanna sleep with me" Shay joked, not noticing that Ashley heard that and she got sad with her statement.
"I did, but now sleep on the couch!" Ashley shouted, crying and sobbing as she hugged the fuzzy blanket that her friend gave her too.
"Okay" The tanned girl sighed, walking out of the door, but the got back to Ashley's room when the blonde shouted again to her.
"No, no! Come here, I want to sleep with you! I'm such an ass" The blonde was still crying, staring at Shay with sad eyes.
"Awww, you aren't an ass, Ash. Come here" Shay opened her arms as Ashley snuggled into them, resting her head on her friend's chest with a small smile.
"I hate hormonal changes" The blonde sobbed as Shay kissed the top of her head, turning off the bed light of her side. Ashley's one was already turned off.
"I know, but it's a price for carrying the future life of our baby" Shay said with a tiny smile.
"Yes it is" Ashley only nodded, watching how Shay got up from the bed.
"Can I do something?" Before she got an answer of Ashley, Shay caressed the blonde's belly with a smile and kissed her lower belly, stroking it softly with the tip of her nose, smiling happily. "Hey baby, I know that you're small now, but I already love you and your mommy too. We love you"
"Oh Shay..." Now Ashley was crying again, but this time of happiness, touched with Shay's affection to their future baby.
"I had to say it becau-" Before Shay ended what she wanted to say, Ashley just went to kiss her in her lips.
That kiss wasn't an hormonal change attack or a joke that Ashley liked to spend on her friends. It was a pure and honest kiss of love. Shay had been always so supportive of her and so cute with her and the last thing that the tanned girl did, confirmed her feelings for Shay.
"Ashley... Why?" Shay smiled, slightly flushed as Ashley was.
"I had to do it, because I wanna tell you something" The blonde girl snuggled again on Shay's arms, caressing the shoulder of her friend with the tips of her fingers. "I made Ryan dump me because I told him that I didn't feel something for him as I did before... Before I knew that it was you"
"I'm what? Ashley, what's going on here?" Shay asked to her friend, curious and a bit scared.
"You're the one I want... And after what you did with my belly, I know that I won't let you go from my side" Ashley stated as Shay pecked her on her lips, stroking her cheek with a small smile.
"I won't go from your side, Ash. Never, okay?" Ashley nodded and Shay kissed the top of her head. "Now let's sleep, we need it babe"
"I love you" Ashley kissed the shoulder of Shay and the tanned girl flushed.
"I love you too" After that, they went to sleep again until the next morning... Not without woke up in the midde of the night with Ashley's pregnancy sickness.
