Chapter 21

A few hours later Ashley was the first to get up again. Seeing that Spencer was peacefully still sleeping, she places a gentle kiss on her forehead and heads into the bathroom to take a shower. 30 minutes later, she was out of the shower and headed back towards her room. Spencer still sleeping she decides to just let her rest seeing that later on that day was probably going to be the last day for the happy Carlin's. While getting dresses her stomach starts to growl so she leaves her room and heads towards the kitchen to make then both something to eat.

Ashley: with a small smile on her face "I'm gonna make this special for her, she deserves this" she goes inside the refrigerator and to the cabinets to see what she can find to eat. Finding just the right thing, She starts cooking with all her love. Finally done making the blue berry pancakes and the freshly squeezed orange juice (with no pulp of course) she sets them up on a tray getting ready to take it to Spencer but thought something was missing. She runs out side and goes to her garden and picks out 2 daffodils and then she runs into the kitchen and grabs a small vase placing the two flowers in it. Slowly making her way up the stairs and into her room making sure not to drop anything, she places the tray down and looks towards her bed to see Spencer was still yet again sleeping. After checking if everything was in place she thinks to herself "god I hope her likes this" and starts walking slowly towards her bed making sure not to make any noise only to hear soft sobbing coming from the direction she was going towards. Now getting a good view of were the noise is coming from she immediately lays down next to Spencer and wraps her arms tightly around her blond love "Spencer baby what's wrong?" and Spencer doesn't respond, so Ashley starts rocking her back and forth "shhhh….baby its going to be ok. I promise" and she places a kiss on her forehead and then on each of her temples and then a light peck on Spencer's lips.

Spencer's tears finally subsides and she falls back to sleep. Ashley sighs and continues rubbing small circles on Spencer's back and soon after she fell back to sleep herself.

An hour later Spencer wakes up in Ashley arms. She kisses Ashley on the corner of her mouth unwraps herself from Ashley's arms and heads towards the bathroom. She comes back into the room and sees the tray of blueberry pancakes, orange juice and the two daffodils that are in the vase. She picks one of the flowers up, smells it, and a smile graces upon her face. She looks over at Ashley sleeping and a single tears comes rolling down her cheek she wipes it away quickly and makes her way towards Ashley

Spencer: nudging her awake "Ashley….Ashley…Ash baby wake up" whispering in her ear.

Ashley: "hmmm" and flutters her eyes open. Seeing that Spencer looked like she's been crying again, she sits up real fast "Spence is everything ok"

Spencer: now giggling "everything's fine baby" and she reassures her with a kiss

Ashley: no quite buying it "are you sure", Spencer nods her head "good", and she returns the kiss. As it starts to deepen she pulls away a little "are you sure there's nothing wrong"

Spencer: "yea I'm sure…. its just I wanted to thank you for the breakfast"

Ashley: "no problem" and goes back to kissing her but was stopped again

Spencer: "but why didn't you wake me?"

Ashley: "well because when I got to the room you was crying and then you fell back to sleep. I just couldn't bring myself to wake you back up"

Spencer: and she leans in and kisses Ashley "I love you" and kisses her again "I don't think I could ever get through this without you" and she wraps her arms around Ashley's waist and buries her face into the crock of Ashley's neck and starts crying softly once again.

Ashley: "I know its hard but your…. we're gonna get through this, I'm here for you. I know I said this already and I'm gonna say it again, everything's gonna be ok. I'm here for you and I'm not going anywhere" while rubbing Spencer's back trying to sooth her and console her both of there stomachs growl simultaneously which causes them to start giggling "I take it that your hungry" and Spencer nods her head.

Spencer: "can you warm up the pancakes for me"

Ashley: "nope"

Spencer: with a confused look on her face "no"

Ashley: "nope" seeing the look on Spencer's face and gets up off the bed "nope because I'm, taking you out, lets go to gray's, forget about what happened yesterday and lets just have fun"

Spencer: "I don't know. I'm really not up for going out"

Ashley: "let's just go out to dinner and if you're up to it then we can go to gray's. Deal"

Spencer: "deal" and gets up from the bed "but I don't have anything to wear"

Ashley: "ahhh but you do. You see my big ol closet over there (points towards her closet) what's mines is yours. So pick whatever you want"

Spencer: "ok, first let me go take a shower" she goes to leave Ashley's room but turns back around and leaps into Ashley's arms and says, "Would you like to join me"

Ashley: with a big smile on her face "I sure would" with Spencer still in her arms she walks them towards the bathroom. Striping each other of their clothes. Ashley turns the knob to the faucet and gets the water to the right temperature and helping Spencer get in and she follows behind her. Ashley grabs the bottle of coconut shampoo and pours some into her hand and whispers in Spencer's ear "turn around" and she lathers the shampoo in her hands and starts messaging the it into Spencer's hair, which causes a slight moan to erupted from Spencer's mouth. This causes a tingling feeling inbetween her legs and she doesn't think she could continue what she was doing and Spencer goes under the shower head and looks Ashley in her beautiful brown eyes and can see the lust in her eyes and she leans in capturing Ashley's lips with hers. Slowly they start pressing their bodies together becoming one. Ashley slowly guilds Spencer back to the tile wall of the shower. Spencer filches from the cold of the wall and starts to giggle. This breaks the mood. "Way to break the mood Spencer" and starts cleaning her hair.

Spencer: still giggling, "I'm sorry I just couldn't help it" washing her body while still giggling

After finishing up in the shower they both head into the closet at the same time but Spencer decides to kick Ashley out

Ashley: "what? Why are you kicking me out?"

Spencer: "because I want it to be a surprise when you see how hott I look when I come out"

Ashley: "Spencer these are my clothes I know what they look like"

Spencer: "yea but you don't know what they look like on me" giving her one last winks and closes the door behind her

Ashley: "yea but what am I going to wear?'

Spencer: "I'm going to pick yours out too"

Ashley: still standing in her towel "fine" and walks over towards her dress and starts drying her hair and applying makeup. After she's done with that she goes towards her bed and lies down and drifts off to sleep.

An hour later Spencer comes dresses out in a short denim skirt and a cream-colored beaded halter-top with her hair down in loose curls and a little makeup on. Walking out of Ashley's closet, she finds Ashley laid out in the bed lightly snoring. She giggles to herself, leans over Ashley, and places a kiss on her lips. After a few more pecks on the lips Ashley begins to smile and her eyes flutter open.

Ashley: "hey beautiful" stretching while getting up she takes a good look at Spencer "wow you look….wow…." she have s huge smile on her face and she embraces Spencer in her arms and whispers in her ear "I love it when you wear my clothes" kissing her on her neck

Spencer: "mmm and I love wearing them"

Ashley: she pulls away a little and says, "sooo what do you got for me to wear?"

Spencer: "well I picked this out for you" she hands her a pair of dark blue boot cut jeans and a black beaded halter-top.

Ashley: "Spence this is sooo common why can't I wear something sexy like you"

Spencer: "well because I love the way your ass looks like in those jeans" causes Ashley to blush "and because the only one you need to be looking sexy for is me and…." Wrapping her arms around Ashley's neck "I think you would look damn hott in what I picked out" giving her a peck on the lips. Letting go and smacking her on her ass "now go get ready so we can leave already"

Ashley: "yes mama" goes in for a kiss and sucks on Spencer's bottom lip.

Spencer: with a smile on her face and walking towards Ashley dresser mirror "god I love that girl" While Ashley was getting dressed, Spencer decided to call Ashley's dad.

ring ring ring

Raife: "Raif at your disposal how may I help you"

Spencer: "oh hey Mr. Davies"

Raife: "Spencer sweetie how many times I have to tell you to call me Raife"

Spencer: "sorry"

Raife: "so what do I owe the pleasure of this call?"

Spencer: "well I kinda need a favor"

Raife: "anything for the girl that makes my daughter so happy"

Spencer: she blushes and ducks her head even though he can't see her "well you know Ashley's always doing things for me and yesterday was suppose to be about us and it kinda got ruined so…."

Raife: "say no more, I'll make reservations at the Hilton"

Spencer: "no that's to much I…."

Raife: "nothings to much for my two favorite girls"

Spencer: "thank you so much. I'll pay you back every penny I promise"

Raife: "no need, your already doing that by just making my little girl happy"

Spencer: "thanks again really"

Raife: "no problem, so I guess I'll see you two girls Sunday night"

Spencer: "yea see you…."

She hangs up the phone with Ashley's dad and she turns to look at Ashley that was standing at the doorway just staring at her.

Ashley: "who was that on the phone?" making her way towards Spencer

Spencer: "it was no one important lets just go, I'm driving"

Ashley: "why where were going"

Spencer: "it's a surprise"

Ashley: "ok your gonna give me some clues"

Spencer: "nope"

Ashley: "ok"

Spencer: she grabs Ashley's keys and heads for the stairs but turns around facing Ashley and says, "by the way….you look beautiful"

Ashley: "thank you" and she pecks Spencer on her lips. Going downstairs and out the door hand in hand, They both stud shocked "a limo"

Spencer: "uhhh"

Ashley: facing Spencer "how did you" and turns back towards the limo.

Spencer: "don't worry I have connections" and just smiles at her making her way towards the limo

Ashley: giving her a quizzical look "what connections?"

Spencer: "don't worry about it, lets just say me and this person have something in common"

Ashley: still no getting it "and what would that be"

Spencer: "you"

Ashley: "me"

Spencer: sensing that she was going to ask another questions she placed a lingering kiss upon Ashley's lips and that shut her up quick "like I said don't worry about it, this is for us" and with that, they where on there way to there destination.

Ashley: In the limo all Ashley could do was just stare at Spencer in amazement. Not thinking she says "when did I become so lucky"

Spencer: faced Ashley "huh"

Ashley: "did I say that out loud" and Spencer nods her head and leans in and places a kiss on each of Ashley's cheek "I love you so much Spencer"

Spencer: "I love you so much too Ashley, its just gonna be me and you for the rest of our lives" and deepens the kiss. As they continue their make out session in back on the limo, the driver stops abruptly at their destination.

Driver: knocks on the window "Miss. Carlin, Miss Davies we have a arrived" and he opens the door. Spencer walks out first and extends her hand to Ashley to help her out.

Ashley: looking up at the building "the Hilton" and looks back to Spencer "Spence…I…god your so amazing" looking up at the well lite building surrounded by other tall buldings.

Spencer: with a smile on her face "wait until we get up there" and points up towards the building. She grabs Ashley's hand and guilds her into the building and immediately someone came to help them

General Manager: extending his hand to the girls "Hello you must be Miss. Carlin and Miss. Davies" and shacks their hand

Spencer: Ashley still a little shocked to speck "please call me Spencer and this is Ashley"

General Manager: "Sure, ok well I'm Dean Wolfe the general manager of Hilton checkers of the great downtown of Los Angeles's and I will be taking up to the rooftop of the Hilton" Spencer nods her head and follows Dean with Ashley at tow.

They arrive at the top floor and everything looked amazing. There was one single table dressed in white, white candles everywhere even in the pool creating a glow on the top on the Hilton rooftop. Looking over the city of angles was tall building over looking the Hilton and down below the cars zipping by. Dean escorts them to their table and they both sit down.

Spencer: "so what do you think?"

Ashley: "I just don't know what to say, this is just amazing" and she gets up from the chair and leans over the table and places a kiss on Spencer lips "so are you going to tell me who helped you get this done"

Spencer: "it was your dad and I didn't actually know he was going go this far, I just asked for a little favor"

Ashley: "I love you Spencer"

Spencer: "I love you too Ashley"

And the night went as planed with no interruptions. Later that night Spencer called her dad and told him that she was going to spend the night at Ashley's house and that she will be home early in the morning.

2 years later

2 years went by and there relationship was as strong as it was when they first meet. Spencer's parents got divorcer and Paula got married to Ben Montanyo and is soon to be having his baby. Arthur also remarried a women names Karen a very nice lady from his job, Clay and Chelsea got married and had a baby a year and a half go and Glenn he's couching a collage basketball team back in Ohio. He decided it was best for himself to get away from the madness and he made the right decision, now he's engaged to the women of his dreams. Ashley found out she had a half sister named Kyla and her dad got married to Kyla's mom. She was a sweet woman nothing like her mom and Ashley wished that she were her own mom and she was in a way.

Spencer: starts packing her things the there trip to Europe, "I can't believe this is the end of our senior year Ash"

Ashley: "I know" staring off into space she starts thinking to herself "this is it, were going to the same school and living together, now all I have to do is ask Arthur for Spencer's hand in marriage" brought out of her thoughts "huh"

Spencer: "where did you go?"

Ashley "south of nowhere… I was just thinking about how things changed over the years that's all"

Spencer: "yea I know its crazy, I would have never thought my mom was ever gonna have another baby. I didn't even know it was even possible to get pregnant at that age"

Ashley: "yea I know, how is she anyways"

Spencer: "she's good, you know she's dew like in 3 months and were going to be on vacation and then going to school"

Ashley: "I know I can't believe were going to the same collage and live together"

Spencer: "I know I can't wait" clapping her hands and starts jumping up and down like a 5 year old

Ashley: shacking her head in amusement "Spencer your suck a dork"

Spencer: stops jumping and walks over towards and straddles her legs "well I'm your dork"

Ashley: "that's right you're my dork" and she pulls Spencer down on top on her and kisses her lips. She leans her forehead on to Spencer's and says "I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you"

Spencer: "me too, I love you so much Ash" and leans in and they start kissing again. After what feels like forever they were both interrupted by a knock on Spencer's bedroom door "who is it"

"its me"

Spencer: "whose me"

"Evan"

Spencer: "come in" the little year and a half year old comes running towards his aunt "hey buddy how are you doing, where's your mommy and daddy"

Evan: "mama in bathroom daddy downstair"

Spencer: "ohh ok" and she puts in down and he runs to Ashley"

Evan: "Ashy"

Ashley: "hey kiddo…I've missed you" and gives him a hug

Spencer just sits back and watched in amazement how good Ashley is with her nephew. She was brought out of her thoughts when someone puts there hand on her shoulder. She turns around and sees Chelsea "hey" turns back to look at Ashley who was now tickling her nephew

Chelsea "hey" and looks at what Spencer was looking at "she amazing isn't she"

Spencer: "yea she is"

Chelsea: "on our way over here she's all he was asking for" and they both stay there just staring at the two.

Later on that day, they were all having dinner at Ashley's house since it was a little family get together before the girls were off on there trip. Everyone was sitting at the table talking waiting for the food to be done and Arthur in the kitchen insisting that he cook the meal for his family. Seeing that Spencer was in a heavy conversation with her mom, Ashley takes the opportunity to talk to Arthur.

Walking into the kitchen she sees Arthur still cooking. At the last minute she was just going to walk away and forget about it but Arthur seen she and she turned back around

Arthur: "hey Ashley"

Ashley: "hey Mr. C"

Arthur: "two years and you still call me Mr. C I told you to call me Arthur"

Ashley: "sorry" she looks down and starts playing with her fingers

Arthur: see that she's having trouble with something she wants to ask "you want something"

Ashley: "well…."

Arthur: "well what?"

Ashley: "well I wanted to talk to you about something but seeing that your busy I'll just ask you later"

Arthur: "ask me what?"

Ashley: "no I'll ask you later"

Arthur: "no I'm not busy so just ask"

Ashley: "well I wanted to ask you…."

Arthur: "ask me what"

Ashley: "IwantedtoaskyouifIcouldhaveyourblessingtoaskspencertomarryme"

Arthur: "whoa Ash slow down, now say it again but nice and slow because all I got was the word me"

Ashley: "k" and takes a deep breath "I wanted to ask you if I could have your blessing to ask Spencer to marry me" He didn't say anything so she just though of the worst and started walking back to the dinning room

Arthur: "yes"

Ashley: she turns around "huh"

Arthur: with a smile on his face "I said yes, yes I give you my blessing"

Ashley: and she runs towards him "thank you thank you so much Mr. C, you have made me the happiest person alive"

Arthur: still hugging Ashley "I'm glad and its dad to you now"

Ashley: "ok…dad" and she hugs him tighter

Meanwhile everyone was still talking in the dinning room Clay decides to check what was taking so long. He walks into the kitchen and he sees his dad and Ashley hugging

Clay: "hey what's going on, were all starving out their dad"

Arthur: "sorry just got a little side tracked. Dinner will be served in 5 minute's"

Clay: "ok" he goes to walk away but turns back "is everything alright here"

Arthur: "yea everything's great, Ashley just asked me…." And gets hit in the stomach "oh sorry"

Clay: "what come on you can tell me"

Ashley: "fine but you can't say anything promise"

Clay: "I promise"

Ashley: "I asked your dad for his blessing's"

Clay: "his blessings…his blessing for what" with a confuesd look on his face.

Ashley: she rolls his eyes at how naïve Clay can be "I asked his blessing's so I can ask your sister to marry me"

Clay: "ohhh" and then gets it "oh my god, are you going to ask today" and gives her a hug

Ashley nods her head yes

Arthur: "alright kids dinner is ready, Ashley go back into the dinning room and Clay come and help me"

Dinner was served and they said their graces and started eating.

Paula: "so Ashley what major are you going to study in"

Ashley: "I was thinking anything that has to do with kids, I don't know yet maybe a music teacher or a consular I'm not sure yet"

Paula: "that's cool, what about you Spencer have you made up your mind on what you want to do"

Spencer: "no not yet"

Paula: she was shocked because ever since she can remember Spencer's always wanted to be a doctor like her "but I thought you wanted to be a doctor Spence"

Spencer: "mom that was when I was younger… mom can we really not talk about this right now. I just want to spend time with my family and not fight"

Paula: "fine" and she rolls her eyes at Spencer

Ashley: "so Paula have you though of what you want to name the baby yet"

Paula: "as a matter of fact yes I have, the baby's name is going to be Benjamin Alexander Montanyo"

Ashley: "cool, so that's your name Mr. M, Benjamin"

Ben: "yes"

Ashley: "cool" and everything went back to being awkward "well I can see everyone's done eating so I need to talk to all of you" after getting everyone's attentions she starts to speak "so I just wanted to say that I'm glad that everyone is here for me and Spencer's last week here until were off to Europe and before us leaving I wanted to ask her something" she turns to Spencer "you know Spence once I seen you in my dreams I knew I was going to find you, I didn't know what way I was going to do it, but I was and then I meet you in that chat room, what are the chances of that ever happening" and Sherry says in the background one in a million "yea Sherry thank you. Like Sherry said one in a million" and she moved the chair out of her way and digs in her pocket and kneels down in from of Spencer and pulls out a 14kt white gold diamond ring with one oval shaped diamond in the center and on the sides the ring is flanked by two half moon and round cut diamonds. "Spencer we've been together for 2 years and I want to spend the rest of my life with you so with that, Spencer Carlin I will be honored if you would be my wife" Spencer just stayed there staring at Ashley with disbelief. So Ashley asks again "Spencer will you marry me" and Spencer wrapped her arms around Ashley's neck and nods her head yes "is that a yes"

Spencer: With tears in her eyes, "yes…yes…yes I will marry you" and she places a kiss on Ashley's lips and Ashley places the ring on her finger.

Chelsea was the first to congratulate the pair and so on and so on. The last to congratulate them was Paula because she was still kind of shocked but though to herself that Ashley is the right person for her daughter and Ashley has been nothing but nice to her and the best to Spencer. She gave them both a hug and a kiss and wish them the best.

A week went by and the girls were on their way to the airport

Spencer: "Ash baby come on were gonna be late"

Ashley: "hold on I'm trying to find my favorite pair of earrings"

Spencer: "Ash you can't be serious, you can buy yourself another pair if you need to, now come on"

Ashley: "fine" and they were out the door

3 months came and its time for the girls to move into their apartment.

Ashley: "wow I can't believe its already 3 months and next week we start school"

Spencer: "I know….I love this place it's the best"

Ashley: she walks up to Spencer "is that all you love"

Spencer: "I could think of something else that I love"

Ashley: "yea…and what's that"

Spencer: "I love that sofa over there" and starts to laugh

Ashley: "so not funny Spence, I see how it is, since you love that sofa over there so much why don't you sleep on it" sounding hurt

Spencer: "Ash I was only joking around, you know I love you with all of my heart" and she turns Ashley around who had a grin on her face and leans in and places a kiss on your lips.

They both went on the sofa and laid down for a while waiting for Spencer and Ashley's dad to come back with more of there stuff. They both whined up falling asleep. An hour later they both woke up to both of there cell phones ringing. Spencer go and grabs hers and Ashley does the same.

Spencer: "hello….no….no this can't be…" and she faints on the floor

Ashley: she runs to Spencer's side and was still on the phone with Chelsea "yea were on our way" and she hangs up the phone "Spencer honey wake up, baby we need to get to the hospital"

Spencer: "huh…." She looks up at Ashley "please tell me that was a dreams please tell me my dad wasn't just in a car accident please Ash, tell me it was a dream" and she was sobbing on to Ashley's chest

Ashley: "baby I wish I could tell you is was a dream but its not" and she holds Spencer tighter to her body and rubs her back "shhhh everything's gonna be ok. Lets get to the hospital everyone's waiting for us there" with that, Spencer stands up. A little weak but Ashley had a good hold on her and leads her out there apartment and into her car.

They both arrived at the hospital and everyone was waiting for them in the lobby. Clay was the first to come up to them and wrap Spencer and Ashley in their arms and Ashley finally breaks down too. When the girls stopped crying Ashley asked what happened and Clay told them that some guy was driving while under the influence and ate a red light and hit the drives side of the car and that Arthur was the one who was driving and Ashley's was in the passenger side and with take Ben walks into the lobby were everyone was waiting for information. He walks up to Ashley first.

Ben: "Ashley your dad has a few cuts and bruises, ummm a broken arm and leg nothing really major. He should be out of here in no time"

Paula: she come up to her husband and says "and what about Arthur is he going to be ok"

Ben: he looks down and pauses to collect his thoughts "he….we have him stable for now…there's no saying if he's going to come out of it anytime soon. He has swelling in his brain, we had to open his skull to alleviate the pressure, he also had some internal bleeding and he lost a massive amount of blood. We almost lost him a few times. I wish I could say he's going to come out of here this like Ashley's dad but I can't say…" and he walks always before his tears started steaming down his face. Arthur was once his enemy because of the whole situations that happened 2 years ago but they have became good friends. To see his friend lying there on a hospital bed was hard for him.

A week went by, Arthur was still in a coma and Paula still having giving birth, and the girls were starting there first day in collage.

Ashley: "Spencer we have to get to school, I promise once where done with this whole orientation thing we'll head to the hospital"

Spencer: "promise"

Ashley: "I promise, now get dressed before were late"

Spencer: "since when did you care if we were late or not"

Ashley: "well were in collage now, young adults and I just want to make a good impression"

Spencer: giving Ashley a quizzical look "ok" and she gets dress and they head out to there first day at UCLA. While in one of her classes she gets a urgent text from Ashley telling her that they had to leave to the hospital and that it was an emergency. She gets up out of her chair and exits out of the room as soon as she could. At the parking lot she find Ashley waiting for her "what's wrong why do we have to go to the hospital?"

Ashley: "its your mom, she's giving birth" and with that they both hope into the car and head out towards the hospital once again they were greeted by everyone in the lobby "did she have the baby yet"

Clay: "no she's still in labor"

Spencer: "is Ben with her"

Clay: "yea"

They all waited and waited and waited until 5 hours later Ben came out with a hug smile on his face "7 pounds 11 ounces" and he starts to cry. Everyone huddles around him and congratulates him. A few minutes later he sees nurses racing into the labor room were Paula is still in. He goes to check it out and sees that they are performing CPR on her and he runs into the room "what's wrong, what happened"

Nurse: "she's suffering from an amniotic fluid embolism"

Ben: "what how she was fine, oh god I can't lose her"

Nurse: "I don't know, but hopefully we caught it in time…sorry you can't be in here" and she pushes him out of the room and goes back inside to help.

Ben comes back into the lobby and sits down not saying a word to anybody. Clay comes up to him and sits down

Clay: "hey what's wrong" and Ben doesn't say anything "what's wrong with my mother"

Ben: "she…" and a tear comes down his cheek.

Clay: "she's what" and he starts to worry

Ben: he takes a deep breath and then says "while giving birth some of the baby's amniotic fluid went into her blood system"

Clay: "and what's wrong with that"

Ben: whipping the tears from his eyes "well you see once the fluid got into her blood system seeping into her lungs before triggering a heart attack…." and he starts to cry again.

Clay: "is she going to be ok"

Ben: "if they got it in time maybe but if not…..oh god I can't lose her" and Clay puts his arms around him in a conforting hold.

Meanwhile Ashley and Spencer got tired of waiting so they went to go see how Arthur was doing. Once on the ICU floor they go straigh to Arthurs room, they go inside and he wasn't in there so Spencer starts to to cry and goes to fall down on the floor but Ashley was there to catch her.

Ashley: she guilds Spencer to the chair and sits her down "hold on let me go see what happened" and Spencer just nods. She comes back into the room and gets Spencer and guilds her to were Arthur is now. They open the door and sitting in his bed eating jello was Arthur.

Arthur: "hey there are my two favorite girls, come give me a hug" both Ashley and Spencer run up to each of the sides of the bed and give him a huge hug "owww take it easy, Im still a little broken here"

Ashley: she lets go "Im sorry we just though something happened to you" and goes back to hugging him but more loosly.

Spencer: "daddy I missed you so much"

Arthur: "don't worry Spencer Im here now, for the both of you, Im not going anywhere" and he kisses them on top of the head "by they way where Karen?'

Spencer: "I think shes at work, you want me to go call her"

Arthur: "yes thank you"

Ashley: Spencer goes to leave and calls her back "wait let me do it and then I can tell Clay the good news while Im at it"

Spencer: she walks up to Ashley and wraps her arms around her neck "thank you Ash and I love you "

Ashley: "I love you too baby, now go back to you father" before she leaves she gives her a peck on the lips.

While Ashely was calling Karen Spencer was telling Arthur about Paula still being in labor and not knowing the whole situcation.

Arthur: "so your happy your going to be a big sister and not the baby of the family anymore"

Spencer: "yea Im acutally happy"

Arthur: "that's good" and they just keep on talking about anything and nothing

Ashley called Karen and she was on her way, so she goes into the lobby were she finds Clay and Ben crying. "what wrongs"

Ben: "Paula…."

Clay: "mom"

Ashley: "WHAT?!" and not she was starting to panick

The doctor that was treating Paula who was very good friends with the both of them comes out. "Ben we got her stable for now, but Im not garentying anything. We put her in an induced coma so that her body can slowly repair its self. So now all we can do is just watch" and he leaves the room

Ashley: "a coma what happened, was she just giving birth"

Clay: "yea but something happened and she whind up having a heart attack"

Ashley: "a heart attack, how is that possible she was healthy, god what am I going to tell Spencer." Sits down and puts her hands in her face.

Clay: whipping the tears from his face "were is she anyways"

Ashley: "she with your dad, hes not in ICU anymore and hes up and talking. That's what I came to tell you guys" and she starts crying.

Clay: he wraps his arms around her and says "my dads awake, since when"

Ashley: "I dont know, we just went to see him and he wasn't in his room at first me a Spencer started to panick but then I went to one of the nurses and she told me he was moved and we went into the room and he was up eating jello"

Clay: and he starts to laugh a little "I can't believe this, how come we wasn't informed"

Ashley: shrugging her shoulders "I don't know I think they were going to call once he was settled in his room, Im not sure"

Clay: "we have to go and tell them"

Ashley: "I can't… I dont know how much more Spencer can take, first she almost loses her dad and now..." and she starts crying again

Clay: "shhh...Im sure everythings going to be ok" not really knowing if anything was going to be ok. But was trying to keep a positive mind. "come on lets go" and they both walk towards the elevatory, once in Ashley starts to cry again.

Ashley: "I can't believe this is happening, Spencer doesn't deserve this, you don't deserve any of this" Clay wraps Ashley and they both exit the elevatory. Out of the corner of her eye Ashley seen someone she recanized but couldn't quite put her finger on it. She shakes her thoughts and continues to Arthur's room. They get to the outside of the door and Ashley is hesitant to go in "Clay I can't do this, I can't I just I don't know what to say to her"

Clay: "Ashley don't worry, I'll tell her just be there to catch her"

Ashley: nodding her head "I will I always will" and with that, they went into the room finding Spencer and Arthur still talking.

As soon as Ashley walked in and Spencer seen, her face she knew, something was up. Since she wasn't getting anything from Ashley, she turns to Clay.

Spencer: "what's wrong, did anything happen to mom"

Clay: "Spence…mom she suffered a heart attack while giving birth to the baby"

Spencer: "what but she was healthy how could this happen?" and she starts to cry and to her word Ashley was by her side

Clay: "it had nothing to do with her health"

Spencer: in between sobs "then what was it about"

Clay: "you know the fluid that the baby's are in well, that went into moms blood system and went into her lungs and then cause a heart attack"

Spencer: "is she going to be ok"

Clay: "that's the thing, its rare for someone to actually survive it" and a tear starts streaming down his eyes. He walks up to Spencer and Ashley and wraps them both into his arms. Karen enters the room

Karen "Arthur hon…what's wrong"

Arthur: he motions her to come towards him "Paula she's not doing so well"

Karen: "what do you mean?"

Arthur: "she had a heart attack"

Karen: "oh my god" and she just sits down next to Arthur not saying another word.

A few hours pass and Paula was now in a coma the doctors that were treating her were hoping that they caught it in time, but there afraid that they might have been to late. Weeks went by and Spencer and Ashley came to visit Paula every single day after school and nothing has changed. The baby was doing good. The girls would sometime stay with him when Ben had to work and so did Arthur and Karen.

Weeks turned into months and months turned into a year and Paula was still in a coma.

It was little Ben first birthday and everyone was there. Evan runs up to his father

Evan: "daddy daddy, why am I older then uncle Ben"

Clay: "because you were born before him"

Evan: "why was I born before him"

Clay: "Evan go play with auntie Spencer and auntie Ashley"

Evan: "k" and he goes running towards the girls

Spencer was feeling really low that day and she tried to be happy but she couldn't help to feel the way she did. Her mom was still in a coma and her little brothers birthday was today. Lucky she had Ashley and Evan to lift her sprites.

Ashley: "Spence baby, why don't you go up stairs and lie down for a little while, I can take care of everything down here"

Spencer: "no I want to be here, plus I'm waiting for Ben, he hasn't been back for hours"

Ashley: "yea I know, where is he"

Spencer: "he said he was going to check up on my mom to see how she was doing"

Ashley: "oh" and with that Evan came running into Ashley's arms "hey kiddo"

Evan: "Ashly" and he gives her a hug, she puts him down, and he goes to Spencer "Spencer"

Spencer: "hey buddy, how are you doing today"

Evan: "I good, were is uncle Ben:

Spencer: "he's playing in the sand box with all the other kids"

Evan: "no not dat uncle Ben, big uncle Ben"

Spencer: her and Ashley giggle a little "ohh he just went to see grandma at the hospital"

Evan: "oh…" and he puts on a sad face "I miss her" and a tears comes down his face

Spencer: "I miss her to bubby" and a tear slip out to and her hugs him until he asked to be let down "Ashley, do you ever wonder if we would have never caught my mom cheating on my dad that we would be in this position today"

Ashley: "I don't know, maybe this was meant to be. Either way you put it your mom was still cheating on your dad. So I don't think it would have changed anything" and she put her arm around Spencer's waist and pulled her closer "you see things happen for a reason. Like us meeting each other and your parents getting a divorce. Not everything's good but we still got each other and I'm not going anywhere"

Spencer: she turns towards Ashley "I love you, thank you for being there for me"

Ashley: "I'm your fiancée, I'm suppose to be there for you no matter what and that's how its going to stay" she takes Spencer in her arms and hugs her. Ashley opens her eyes and see the same guy that she seen at the hospital, just this time she didn't ignore it "Spencer do you recognize that man"

Spencer: she lets go of Ashley and turns to where she was looking at "what man"

Ashley: "that man" pointing to a guy all in white

Spencer: "I don't know he looks familiar but I can't quite put my finger on it"

Ashley: "I know me too, I seen him in the hospital months ago but I just ignored it. I don't know he seems kinda ode. Lets go see who he is" they both get up from were they were settled and when they got to were the man was standing, he was gone. "Where did he go?"

Spencer: with a confused look on her face "I don't know, he was just right here" they both turn around and Spencer spots him by the gate towards the front of the house "there" and they both go towards the front. When they reach there, again he was gone and they see Ben in the front porch crying. "Ben" he snaps his head up and just looks at Spencer and then at Ashley

Ashley: "Ben what's wrong, is it Paula"

Ben: tears still coming down "yea" nodding his head up and down

Spencer: "what happened?" and the girls rush by his side

Ben: "she's brain dead, there's nothing they can do"

Ashley: "are you sure, there has to be something we can do. I have money I can do anything"

Ben: "Ashley as much as I would love to believe money can buy anything, money can't bring my wife back" and he continue crying. After a few seconds, he snapped his head up at the girls "I didn't take her off life support if that's what you thinking."

Both the girls just nodded there heads and kept on crying.

Ben: "I guess after the party is over we can all go and pay our last respects" the girls didn't say anything and continued crying and nodded their heads again.

An hour passed and all the guest were leaving. Little Ben had got a lot of presents and was passed out with Evan in the living room floor. Everyone knew where they had to go but was trying to prolong the inevitable. After much debate with themselves everyone was ready to leave to the hospital with the two kids in tow. Once at the hospital they all went into Paula's room and they just stayed there standing around and crying. Evan gets up and asked to be next to his sleeping grandmother.

Evan: he places his little hand on Paula's cheek and turns to his father, "daddy why doesn't grandma want to wake up"

Clay: a tear slips from his eye "its not that she doesn't want to wait up Ev, grandma has something inside her that's keeping her from waking up"

Evan: he nods his head "ok" and continues moving his hands over Paula's face. He looks over to Spencer and Ashley and then to his grandpa and then his mom and dad and Big Ben and there all crying seeing that he asks "why is everyone crying, she's just sleeping" which caused them all to cry even more. Chelsea goes by her son and takes him by the hand and tells him to come with her "but I want to stay with grandma and sleep"

Chelsea: "Evan you have to give everyone else a chance to see grandma…ok"

Evan: "ok…but where is she going"

Chelsea: "well you see, she's going up to heaven"

Evan: "Why is she going there"

Chelsea: "because…I don't know Evan she just is" she just didn't know how to tell him that his grandmother was never going to come back and the little boy starts to cry in his mothers arms.

Everyone says there last goodbye's and Paula's doctor pulls the plug. Two days later was the funereal. Everyone went on with their lives, the girls went back to school, Arthur went back to work, Clay and Chelsea went back to their lives and Glenn went back to Ohio. But Ben he couldn't get over it, he never went back to work and he lost everything, the only thing he had was little Ben, but he didn't think he could take care of him. So he gave him to Spencer and Ashley telling them that Paula would have wanted it. He would come once and a while to come and see his son but every time he came over her looked worst with each visit. Months go by and they don't hear from him so Ashley decides to go search for him. She couldn't find anything on him it was as if he was whipped off the face of the earth. A year passed and the girls went to visit Paula's gravesite. While walking there, they can see someone laying down on the gravesite and the same guy in white standing in front of the person lying down. Ashley points it out and they both start running towards the man. Once hey get close enough to see that was the guy was he was gone and seen the guy lying down on Paula's grave was Ben. They rushed over to his side and seen that he wasn't moving. Ashley tried waking him up but he wouldn't budge. So Spencer called 911 and they came. He was already dead and they was nothing they could have done. Two days later, they had the funeral for him. Little Ben always asked where is dad was and they just couldn't tell him that he killed himself so they told him that he was in heaven with mommy.

A few years passed by, the girls were done with Collage, and they moved to Boston. They had to get away from the LA life once they finished school and now raising little Ben as there own. Ashley was working in a school with kids with special need and she was a part time producer at her fathers record company in Boston. Spencer was a stay at home mom/sister to Ben. She didn't mind she still just didn't know what she wanted to do with her life after her mothers death she felt like she had to be a mom to Ben and remind him everyday there mom and his dad was looking after them every single day. Even thou Ben never got to meet there mom Spencer always made it an effort to show pictures to him and tell him all about her. That year for them was hectic because it was a week before there wedding and they we're both excited in there own way. The week went by and it was there wedding day.

Ashley: "I'm sooo nervous dad"

Raife: "What are you nervous about, you've been with Spencer for 7 years already"

Ashley: "I know I don't think I'm nervous about that, I think I'm nervous of all the people that are going to be here"

Raife: "since when is Ashley Davis afraid of a crowd"

Ashley: "I know, I'm never nervous about this type of thing, I just don't want to mess up"

Raife: "your not going to mess up"

Ashley: "what if I trip or something"

Raife: "sweetie your not so stop it already"

Ashley: she takes a deep breath "ok"

Meanwhile in the other room Spencer was doing a little of freaking out of her own

Spencer: "dad dad I don't think I could do this"

Arthur: "what you mean you can't do this"

Spencer: "I'm not talking about getting married with Ashley, I'm talking about walking down the alley, I can't do it"

Arthur: and walks up to her and holds her hands "yes you can and I'm going to be there, I promise"

Spencer: "thank you" and a tear slips her from eyes

Arthur: "what's wrong" and he brushes the tear away

Spencer: "I miss her, I wish she was here"

Arthur: "I know honey, but you know what"

Spencer: "what"

Arthur: "even thou she's not here in body, she's here in sprite" and she nods her head and she hugs him

The wedding is starting and Ashley's dad walks her down the alley first once at the podium it was Spencer's turn to come down the alley. The music is cued and their Spencer was with all of her glory in a gorgeous white Vera Wang dress with a beautiful Spanish style train and the vale over her face. Before Spencer was even close to her she started to tear up. Spencer finally gets to her and the justice of the peace asks who are giving them away and both Arthur and Raife say, "I am." Arthur pulls back Spencer's vale and places her hands into Ashley's.

Once face to face, Ashley mouths "I love you" and Spencer mouths back "I love you too"

The justice of the peace starts her announcements and then continues marrying them

JOP: "Dearly beloved here are gathered here today to bring this to wonderful people in hole matrimony. Now is there anyone that thinks that these lady's shouldn't get married speak now or forever hold your peace" and with that the doors to the building fly open and everyone was shocked to see who is was.

"I think they shouldn't get married, I'm meant for Ashley and no one else. If I can't have her, then no one can!" and shoots start flying everywhere. Ashley jumps in front of Spencer and little Ben and protects them from the psycho that just barged in on there wedding day. Ashley gets hit and her world goes blank.

THE END
