I Do Not Own South Of Nowhere, Nor Do I own The Characters In This Story.


Forgotten

Spencer looked up at her parents and gave them a questioning look; there was no way she wanted to put her child up for adoption. She knew it would be hard to raise a child in high school but this was her baby, Ashley's and hers. Spencer shooked her head and looked at Ashley, who was staring at the pamphlet in her hand.

"What is this?" Ashley looked towards the adults in the room, anger in her voice.

"We want you two to think about all your options"

"Well this isn't an option; I'm not putting my child up for adoption!" Ashley threw the pamphlet down and got up from the table.

"Ashley, we aren't saying you have to. This is just an option for you and Spencer to think about. We want you two to decide what you want to do. You're both in high school, and you haven't even started you life yet"

"I get that mom, but isn't this between Spencer and I to discuss not all of us?"

"Ash, there just trying to help" Ashley looked down at Spencer, who was playing with her fingers. Ashley nodded and sat back down next to her girlfriend, and took her hand in hers.

"I know Spence; I just don't want Adoption to be an option for us. I want this child, and I know it will be hard but we can do this" Spencer nodded and looked up at her parents.

"We're keeping the baby"

The adults looked at each other and pulled out a chair and sat down with the girls, grabbed some drinks for everyone. The girls clung to each other, like they were about to loose each other in seconds.

"Spencer how far along are you?"

"I'm 3 weeks tomorrow" Ashley's mother nodded and took a sip of her drink.

"If you're keeping this baby, then we will be here to help you two. Its not going to be easy you two, but I know you both want this child."

"You know this makes you a grandma right mom?" Ashley's looked at her mom and gave her a smirk look.

"Yes honey I know and I'm actually excited. I know your father would have been exited to" Ashley smiled and looked at Spencer, who gave Ashley a kiss on her cheek.

"So when Spencer has this baby, where will you two stay?" Ashley and Spencer looked at each other and thought about it.

"We haven't thought about it, but I know Spencer will want her mother there to help her" Paula smiled, knowing her daughter is never to old to need her mommy.

"That's true; I will want you around mom. Would it be okay if we stayed here until we found a place?"

"Let your mother and I think about it, and we will get back to on that. For right now let talk about jobs, Ashley?"

"Well I know I should get one, and I will. I just don't want it to affect my basketball, I have scouts looking at me and I could get into a great school" Spencer looked down, and stared at her drink that was in front of her.

"Well why don't you try to find a part time job for right now and you might have to forget about basketball Ashley" Ashley nodded.

"I'm not feeling to well, I'm going to go lay down" Ashley turned towards Spencer.

"Are you okay baby?"

"Ya, just morning sickness I'll be fine."

"Do you want me to come?"

"No, stay and talk. Just come up when you're done" Spencer kissed Ashley gently and went up to her room.

When Spencer got into her room, she shut the door and went to sit on her bed. She looked over at her desk with all her school books, and thought about everything she has to give up. A small tear came down her cheek.
