Hey people! Please review my story!

BTW: I'm adding a side-plot including Jay and Manny, but you'll have to read to see what it is about. I may not add it every chapter, but I'll try.

Ashley tapped the window quietly as Craig drove to her mother's house. Craig noticed the silence and turned on the radio.

Somebody told me
Once in a lifetime
Destiny finds you
And blows you away
Spins you in circles
Pulls you in pieces
Bleeds you like Jesus
And goes on its way

Craig quickly turned it off and side-glanced at Ashley.

"Ash, what's wrong?" She casually shrugged and continued tapping on the window.

"Seriously Ash. Are you scared of your mom? Are you scared of us? Because if you are, maybe we-"

"No Craig. It's just me worrying as always," she rubbed his shoulder, "And I definetly want us." Craig smiled and focused back onto the road. They sat happily for another 10 minutes before they arrived. Craig hopped out of the car and opened the door for Ashley. They slowly walked to the doorstep.

"Are you ready Ash?" Ashley staightened out her grey dress and sighed.

"I'm ready." Craig rang the door bell once, but there was no answer. He rang it again, and the same happened. He was about to knock on the door when Ashley grabbed his arm.

"She's obviously not here so let's go-" She was interrupted by her mother in a purple bath robe, her hair in rollers, and a toothbrush in her mouth.

"Ashley? Do you know what time it is? Is something wrong?"

"No, and hi Mrs. Kerwin. It definetly is not wrong! It is-"

"Is there a point to your speech?" she asked rudely. Craig looked to the floor as Ashley gave her mother a stern look. Mrs. Kerwin rolled her eyes and let them. Craig and Ashley sat nervously on the couch, playing with each other's hands. Mrs. Kerwin glanced at her clock and sighed.

"Is there a reason you're at my house at 11:45pm?"

"Well, Craig and I have an announcement Mom," she replied, hiding her ring behind her back. Her mom continued brushing her teeth.

"Ash and I are getting married!" Craig yelled. Kate spat out her toothpaste and immediately called Jeff down.

"What is it Kate?!" he said running to her side.

"Craig and Ashley are getting married!" she explained melodramatically.

"Oh really? Congrats!" he said hugging both of them.

"Jeff! Do you not see the emergency?!" she said helplessly.

"I don't see the drama Kate. Didn't you see this coming?" All three looked over at a hyperventilating Kate.

"Yeah mom, what is the emergency?" Ashley asked rudely. Kate calmed down and caught her breath.

"Sorry. I really don't see it, I guess it was just a shock hearing it for the second time," she said sternly eyeing Craig.

"Come guys, let's get some water and discuss this engagement concept," Jeff said as he and his wife walked over to the kitchen. Craig pulled Ashley to the corner of the room.

"See? It wasn't that bad. I was expecting her to throw me out," he whispered rubbing her back.

"Yeah," she whispered back. They walked into the kitchen and talked for half and hour before they went home.

Manny sprinted as fast as her yellow flats could take her. She quickly unlocked her pink convertible and hopped in, almost breaking the ignition with her force.

"Manny! Come back! I'm sorry!" Jay called. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!" Manny wiped her tears off her face as she back out of the driveway. Jay ran to the window, trying to stop her, but she kept backing up.

"Manny!" he yelled. "Manny! Sorry! It just sorta happened!" Manny ran over his foot and drove off down the boulevard.

'How could he?' she thought furiously, 'What have I ever done to him? I do everything for him!'

After ten minutes of ranting, she stopped at a red light and thought for a second.

"Crap! I'm so stupid! I should have kicked him out, it's my house!" she yelled, turning into a white brick house with multiple plants in the driveway. She parked her car and stomped to door. She knocked loudly and stood angrily. She knocked again, and louder. Manny kept pounding until a frazzled Emma answered.

"What's your prob...oh hi Manny!" she said while a raging two-year-old was throwing a tantrum in her arms.

"He's done it again! How could he? After everything I did for him, he was just using me!" Manny ranted as she made her way to the living room.

"Well, Manny, you're not the only one with problems!" Emma shrieked as her daughter pulled her hair.

"Oh...sorry," she said softly, taking the toddler from her arms.

"Look Lilly, it's Aunty Manny!" Emma said, trying to get the toddler to smile. Lilly stopped crying and played with Manny's rings happily.

"Wow, thanks Manny. She likes you a lot better than me!" Emma joked. Manyn shifted Lilly to her other knee in order to face Emma.

"So Manny, why did you come here? It's like 10 o'clock," Emma asked.

"10 o'cluck!" Lilly repeated. Manny smiled and ruffled her curly brown hair.

"Well," Manny whispered. "I came here to let you hear a little phone message I got since I let Jay borrow my phone this afternoon."

"Hey Jay, it's me, Alex," Alex said angrily. "I just came to tell you to stay away from me well...because I'm pregnant."

Emma gasped, but Manny motioned her to continue listening.

"Getting a girl high and then getting her pregnant is so like you Jay," she said sarcastically, but with a hint of sadness.

"I should have stuck to girls," she muttered. "Anyway, if you really care about me, you'll call, so bye."

Emma looked stunned. "Wow Manny, well if you want to stay here for a while..."

"Sure Emma. I can't believe Jay did this! He's such a bi-"

"Manny, no swearing around Lilly," Emma said before taking Lilly into her arms. Manny stared crying again. "How could he hurt me like that?"

"Manny, guys are out to hurt us. Come on, we have a guest room," Manny said.

PLEASE REVIEW MY STORY! BTW: Lilly's father is Chris Sharpe. I only paired Emma with Chris because Sean is with Ellie, Damien is crusty (seriously), I do not have the patience to create a new character at the moment, and they are semi-cute together.
