Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with SoN.

A/N: Well, once again I'm writing instead of doing my homework. Who cares about The Roaring 20s, Probability and Sets, learning how to speak the Spanish language without hesitation, the history of computers and how the human brain works? Not me. Well, actually I do (all except the history of computers; I couldn't care less about that) since I'm minoring in two of these. But I'd rather not do them right now.

Plus I may or may not be waiting for a certain girl I'm crazy about to come over. I was conned into watching The Notebook. I don't care; I get to spend time with her.


Kyla had been in the hospital for a week and was being released that afternoon. As a welcome home present, Ashley and Aiden had cleaned Kyla's apartment from top to bottom. If they had anything to say about it, the place looked better than when it was bought. Aiden would be picking her up and Ashley would be swinging by later after she got resettled.

Ashley was sitting in her living room on the couch relaxing while Spencer was in the kitchen getting something to eat.

"You're almost out of milk," Spencer said as she reentered the living room. Ashley looked up at the blonde and a wave of desire hit her. Spencer was in a pair of loose sweatpants and an old t-shirt from her high school in Ohio. Her hair was in a messy bun with tendrils framing her face and she had her glasses on instead of her contacts. She wasn't looking her best, and that was a huge turn on to Ashley. What was that song that said a girl was the prettiest in sweatpants, chilling with no make-up on? Yeah, it hit the nail on the head.

"What are you watching?" Spencer asked as she took a seat next to Ashley. Instead of getting a verbal answer, she got Ashley's lips on hers.

Ashley's tongue sought out Spencer's immediately. Spencer groaned as Ashley's tongue did a thorough search of her mouth. Spencer quickly got into the game of things and sucked Ashley's lower lip into her mouth, nipping at it.

"You're so gorgeous," Ashley whispered. One of Spencer's hands came up to hold the back of Ashley's neck while the other found a home in her hair. Ashley nipped at Spencer's lips before trailing kisses down her jaw and to her neck.

"Ashley," Spencer hissed as the brunette scraped her teeth against her neck before sucking at it. Ashley's tongue soothed a bite she gave Spencer before she moved to another spot on her neck.

"Oh God," Spencer said as she arched her neck to the side to allow Ashley better access. Without breaking away from Spencer's neck, Ashley moved herself between Spencer's legs and began to rub herself against the blonde.

Spencer was incredibly turned on. She loved it when they kissed like this – rough, hot, and passionate. In effort to return some of the pleasure to Ashley, Spencer moved to Ashley's neck and began to kiss her there.

"Spencer," Ashley groaned as the blonde took her earlobe into her mouth and sucked on it, simultaneously scraping her nails down Ashley's back. Ashley's hands moved from Spencer's sides to under Spencer's shirt. She gently scratched her nails against the blonde's stomach. Spencer arched her back at Ashley's touch. Her stomach was one of the most sensitive spots on her body and Ashley knew it.

Before they both knew it, Spencer's shirt was off and thrown somewhere. Ashley was working on the clasp to her bra as Spencer ripped Ashley's shirt over her head.

"Fuck," Spencer gasped. Ashley had attached her mouth to one of her nipples and was working circles around it with her tongue. One of Spencer's knees found its place between Ashley's legs and the brunette whimpered at the contact.

"Fuck yes," she rasped out. She roughly pushed one of her knees between Spencer's legs and they began to move quickly against each other. Spencer scraped one set of nails down Ashley's back while her other hand came up to cup the brunette's breast, her thumb ghosting over a nipple.

"Yes, Spencer," Ashley whimpered. She realized that if they went any further she was going to end up taking Spencer on her couch.

"Oh God," Ashley said, her voice taking on a husky quality as her arousal heightened. "We have to stop. Not like this, I can't take you like this." Spencer whimpered at Ashley's words and did not slow down the movement of her hips.

"I can't stop now, Ash," Spencer gasped. "I have to come." Ashley whispered an expletive and sped up the movement of her hips against Spencer's knee.

"God, Spencer," Ashley said. Her eyes were shut tight but her lips found Spencer's once more. They kissed hotly as they sped toward their respective climaxes.

"Fuck!" Ashley said, tearing her mouth away from Spencer's. She buried her head in the blonde's neck as she began to feel the coil in her lower stomach unwind.

"Ashley," Spencer gasped. Her nails scratched down Ashley's back as she strained against the brunette's knee. "I'm gonna come!"

With a loud groan, Ashley's hips shook. She felt the spasms take over and the pleasure wracked her body. At the same time, Spencer's back arched and she let out a strangled cry as her body shook with her orgasm. Ashley's body went limp on top of Spencer and Spencer sunk back into the couch, spent.

"Damn," Ashley breathed against Spencer's neck. The blonde chuckled and let her fingers run through Ashley's hair.

"You can say that again," she murmured softly. Ashley took her head from the crook of Spencer's neck and looked at her. As her eyes met Spencer's, she smiled and leaned down to softly kiss her.

"So…I didn't plan for that to happen," Ashley said, her cheeks reddening in embarrassment. "I just wanted to kiss you."

"It's okay," Spencer said. "It's not like I didn't enjoy it." She grinned as Ashley's cheeks reddened even further.

"I was going to do this when things had calmed down somewhat, so you didn't think I was asking out of obligation," Ashley said. "But now that I've let my hormones ruin everything, I might as well ask."

"Hmm?" Spencer said lazily, raising one eyebrow. Ashley raised herself up on both elbows and looked at Spencer.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" she asked. Spencer smiled softly and leaned up softly kiss Ashley.

"Yes," she said against Ashley's lips. Their lips met once more in a gentle kiss and they continued to kiss languidly.

Eventually they separated and put their respective shirts back on. As Ashley stood from the couch, Spencer giggled.

"You may want to change your pants," she said. Ashley frowned and looked down. A deep blush framed her face once she saw the large wet spot in the crotch of her sweatpants.

"It's okay, me too," Spencer said. Ashley looked from her crotch to Spencer's and was please to see she wasn't the only one who had been excessively excited. Ashley held out her hand for Spencer to take.

"We should get ready to go anyway," Ashley said. "We can shower and then leave." Spencer raised one eyebrow.

"We can shower?" she said.

"Separately, of course," Ashley said quickly, blushing once more. Spencer giggled again.

"I'm just teasing you," she said softly. She ran one of her hands over Ashley's cheek before she leaned up and kissed her girlfriend.

"You take first shower," Ashley said. "You can borrow some of my clothes. I'll clean up out here."

"Mmkay," Spencer murmured. With one last shared kiss, Spencer left for the shower and Ashley began to straighten up the living room, simultaneously curing herself and patting herself on the back.


"So how are you feeling?" Ashley asked Kyla as she lounged in an armchair in the living room of Kyla's apartment.

"I feel better," Kyla said. "It feels weird, not being drunk." Ashley snorted, unable to keep it back.

"That's not good, Ky," Ashley said.

"I know," Kyla murmured. It was silent for quite a while. Ashley didn't know what to say and Kyla didn't know how to say anything.

"So…I guess you heard about the baby," Kyla said softly. Ashley stiffened but nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Ashley finally asked. "I could have helped you. I mean, I know you and Aiden aren't together anymore but that was his kid and my…you were going to be a mother."

"I know," Kyla said, tears welling up in her eyes. "I know…but it wasn't Aiden's baby. That was the problem."

"It wasn't…you cheated on Aiden?" Ashley asked, unable to keep the anger from seeping into her voice. Kyla shook her head.

"I would never," Kyla said. "I know Aiden and I hadn't been getting along but I would never cheat on him."

"Then how is it not Aiden's?" Ashley asked, confused. Kyla was silent for a second, her head lowered to face the floor.

"It…happened one night when I went out with some friends. Aiden and I had been arguing all day and I just wanted to have a few drinks and relax. So when some of the girls from work said they were going to the bar after work, I decided to go with them. We had been there for about an hour and I had enough to drink to make me borderline drunk," Kyla began.

"I know it was excessive but once I started I just couldn't stop. This guy had been hitting on me all night, and I had been refusing him. I was mad at Aiden, but I wasn't going to go off with some other guy. Probably a half hour later, I told the girls I was calling a cab and going home. I said goodbye and headed outside and was waiting for the cab to get there when the guy from the bar dragged me into the alley behind the club. I tried to fight back, I swear," Kyla said, tears falling down her face. "But I couldn't. He was too strong and I was too drunk. He put his hand over my mouth and said he always got what he wanted. And then he raped me."

"Kyla…I…why didn't you tell me sooner?" Ashley said, tears welling up in her own eyes. Kyla shook her head.

"He said if I told anyone he would find me. And looking back, I know I was stupid to believe him but I was scared. A few weeks after it happened I started getting sick and I went to the doctor and was told I was pregnant. And I knew it wasn't Aiden's," Kyla said. "It was his. I had that…monster's baby inside of me. I couldn't handle it. I started drinking excessively, anything to get it out of me."

In less than a second Ashley was on the couch with Kyla, hugging her sister to her chest. Both girls cried for a long time.

"I'm so sorry, Ash," Kyla said.

"Shhh, it's okay," Ashley replied. She hugged Kyla to her tighter. "I'm so sorry that happened to you." Kyla's sobs became harder.

"I couldn't keep it in me," Kyla said once she calmed down. "If anyone was going to get me pregnant, I wanted it to be Aiden and I knew I couldn't live with myself if I told him it was his."

"You have to talk to him," Ashley said. "He thinks it was his now. And he doesn't deserve that." Kyla nodded.

"I know," she said. "He's coming over later to talk to me. I plan on telling him then."

"I love you, Ky," Ashley said. She hugged the brunette harder as she began to cry all over again.


"This all happened in a week's time? Good Christ," Alex said, shoveling popcorn into her mouth at an insane speed. She and Ashley had been talking for the last hour about what happened with Kyla.

"I know, right? Like, can anything else go wrong with my family?" Ashley asked, biting into a Twizzler. In effort to catch up with her best friend, Ashley had invited Alex over for a junk food/movie fest, heavy emphasis on the junk food.

"Well, I've always told you that you're the spawn of aliens and they have yet to come back to claim you as their own," Alex joked. Ashley rolled her eyes and threw a M&M at the slender brunette.

"Fuck you," she laughed. Taking a bite of her slice of pizza, Ashley continued. "Speaking of fucking, how are you and Sarah?" Alex shrugged.

"We've talked a grand total of three times in the past week and a half. She said she needed time to process," Alex said, picking at the cheese topping on her pizza.

"What's there to process? You're hot and an awesome person," Ashley joked in effort to cheer up her friend. She knew it worked when a small smile showed up on Alex's face.

"Yeah, I guess," she said. "I just really, really like her. And I know kissing her like that and then running away wasn't the best of plans, but I don't see how she couldn't have noticed my feelings for her."

"She probably did and just ignored it. When you think you're straight and then you're presented with this woman you could potentially have feelings for, you kind of freak out," Ashley said.

"Yeah, I mean I understand what she's going through. It just sucks because I like her so much," Alex said, trailing off. She shook her head and popped a green Dot into her mouth.

"Speaking of relationships, how are you and Spencer?" Alex asked. A large grin came over Ashley's face. "That good, huh?"

"I asked her to be my girlfriend," Ashley said. Alex raised both eyebrows, clearly surprised.

"You haven't dated anyone seriously since Madison," Alex stated bluntly.

"I know," Ashley said. "She just…she makes me a better person. And every time I see her my stomach does somersaults and I'm practically inarticulate around her. I've never seen someone look as gorgeous as she does in sweatpants and a t-shirt and she couldn't care less about what she looks like most of the time. She's a breath of fresh air to me I guess."

"Damn," Alex breathed out. She had never heard her best friend talk about a woman like that, even when she was with Madison. Ashley was silent for another second before continuing.

"I know it's crazy because it's been all of a month, but I think I'm falling in love with her," Ashley said softly. "Spencer is…unlike anyone I've ever known."

"Aww, my little Ashy-bear is falling in love," Alex teased, though in reality she knew the weight of the brunette's confession. "But in all seriousness, I'm happy for you. It's about time something good has happened to you."

"Thanks Ali," Ashley mumbled.

"Now, let's forget all of this serious, mushy shit and watch some cartoons play a wicked game of basketball," Alex said. Ashley laughed and the two girls turned their attention to Space Jam for the night.
