Chapter 12- Once Together, Never Apart

3rd person P.O.V

Just as Ashley goes to look at the coin, Spencer puts her foot on the tiny piece of silver. "What are you doing Spence?" Ashley asked confused. This was Spencer's idea anyways.

"I just wanted you to know…" Ashley interrupts her by picking her up and staring down at the nickel.

"Heads." She states proudly. Spencer doesn't say a thing, just watches Ashley's happy-dance. "God, I'm so glad that the suspense is over." Ashley said wiping away imaginary sweat from her forehead.

"Yup" Spencer answers simply. Ashley finally realizes that Spencer isn't actually happy with the outcome.

"Spencer why would you make that bet if you…" Ash was quieted by Spencer's hand on her mouth. She was wearing the biggest smile, while Ashley is wearing a confused, surprised expression.

"Breath Ashley. I knew it was 50/50 ok? She asks shaking her head in amusement. "Either way…" she leans into Ash and bites her lip, "I win." She finishes as she back away from Ashley who was thinking and hoping she was gonna get whole hell of a lot more.

"Tease." Ash grumbles looking down glum even though she was happier now then she had been in the last four months. "So, we're together?" Ash asks as she wraps her arms around Spencer's slender waist.

"I guess we are." She answers with a shy smile.

"Wait…" Spencer says just as she and Ash were about to walk back into the club. She had forgotten something.

"Yeah?" Ash asked distracted. Since she and Spence had gotten back together, she had been on cloud nine. Spencer snaps her fingers lightly, waking Ash from her haze.

"I forgot to mention that I'll be moving back." She says walking into the smoke filled room with Ashley following with a satisfied grin on her face.

"Spencer?" They hear from behind them. Spencer and Ashley turn to face Chloe.

"Oh hey Chloe." Spencer said shortly.

"What's wrong babe?" Chloe asked.

"No…no babe." Spencer said hotly as she pulled her hand from Chloe's grip.

"So…you two finally back together?" Chloe asks angered.

"Yes, yes we are." Spencer says proudly.

"Ashley Ashley Ashley." Chloe chided.

"Ash…how does she know your name?" Spencer asked surprised. Ash was wearing a deer caught in the headlights expression.

"What? You didn't tell her Ash?" Chloe asked slightly…no really amused by Ashley's jitters and Spencer's angered look directed at her new "girlfriend". Spencer now begins to put two and two together but stays silent as the other two girls stare murderously at each other. "Ashley here," Chloe began as she pointed to Ash. "Payed me to date you, 45,000 dollars actually." She finishes.

Spencer's face go through many, many different emotions. Anger, hurt, surprise…and…happiness? 'If Ash wouldn't have had Chloe date me, then I wouldn't ever have gotten back together with her.' Spencer thinks. Both Ash and Chloe watch expectingly, Chloe with a cocky smile, Ash with fear present in her eyes.

"Okay." Spencer says slowly.

"What?" both girls ask not understanding Spencer's answer.

"Okay."

"Okay what?"

"Okay…Chloe you used me for money, cheated on me… and played me." Spencer says looking pointly at Chloe who simply nods guiltily. "And Ash…" changing her victim, "you cheated on me, lied to me and payed someone else to date me." Spencer said slightly angered at just the thought, as Ash nodded and began her monologue.

"I heard you saw Aiden and I?" Ash began as Spencer nods her head yes. "At the store?" Ash questions again and Spencer nods her head. "Aiden thought that I was lieing when I told him that "we" could never be together. I wasn't though." She said running her fingers through her brown hair. "He kissed me when he saw your car coming. I tried to pull away but he was too strong." She finished. Spencer nods and finishes her speech,

"If you would have let me finish, I would have told you that I like being with Chloe," she said as Chloe smiled knowing that she had won while Ashley looked down in defeat and dread. "but I love being with you." She finishes as Ashley's eyes shot up and a smile as big as Texas graced her features. She picked Spencer up in her arms and whispered, "I love being with you too, don't ever forget that."

"Nope, never. You know what they say about true love? Once together, never apart." Spencer replied with a smile. Chloe had left to find her girlfriend, Blair making out with a stripper named Serena.

"No…that's not how it ends." I voice comes from behind the couple. There was Aiden looking at them with a smug smile with Paula and Christine.

"So Ashley…is there something you have to tell us?" Christine asks seriously.

"No…" Ashley begins but Aiden stops her.

"It's okay Ash, she knows about the baby already."

A/N-Thanks for the reviews again. I'll try and update every day or every other day depending. Yes I did throw a curve ball in there with the baby idea. I was going to end the story here but just in the spur of the moment decided, that with all the great reviews I'm getting, that I should continue. Thanks a bunch.
