Peace and love to all!

"God move I can't even see!"

"I was here first!"

"Asshole!"

"Bitch!"

I finally decide words aren't enough and jab Glen as hard as I can in the ribs. When he ducks down to grab his side I lean in and finish the last of my makeup.

"See if you'd have moved I could have finished without hurting you."

"…I…hate…you…"

For a second I almost feel bad because his eyes are watering and we have to be at the Davies' house soon but I just can't muster up the feeling.

"Hurry up Glen or we'll be late."

He scowls at me as I walk away and I can hear him mimicking my voice into the bathroom mirror, what a child. The red dress I'm wearing is light on my body and perfect for the humid weather. My idiot twin is dressed in a black shirt and black slacks, seriously dumbass?

"Oh hunny you look so adorable!"

And I almost made it out the door without my mother seeing me. She tucks my hair behind my ear and gives me a teary smile. Oh no, please God don't let her….

"I just love you so much Spencer."

…start crying. Now she's sobbing openly and I can only stare at her in horror. Glen comes into my sight behind Paula and he gestures to the door while smirking at me.

Fifteen minutes later and we are finally backing out of the driveway.

"I can't believe you made mom cry."

He sniggers to himself and it sounds a little like a pig snorting.

"Just drive, we're already late."

Ashley is talking to some old woman nodding slowly and I'm sure she's rolling her eyes behind the unnecessarily large sunglasses. I take a minute to just stare and admire how beautiful she really is.

"GLEEEEEN!"

A high pitched scream cuts through the thick afternoon heat and a tornado in Prada flies at my brother. He catches Kyla expertly and gives her a twirl. They are actually pretty cute.

The younger Davies' antics have attracted attention and Ashley is walking to me slowly with a smile playing on her face.

"You look amazing."

She presses a kiss to my forehead while I blush at her compliment.

"Ash, so do you."

And she does look amazing. Her black slacks and vest combo with the tie make her look just delicious and her curly hair is clipped back slightly.

"Come on time to mingle with the Davies clan."

So here's the deal its Mr. and Mrs. Davies anniversary party at their mansion and Ashley's whole family is here. She asked me to be here, I said no then she asked with a few kisses and touches, I said yes.

Damn her and her sexiness.

"Right, let's uh mingle with your family."

She grins easily and slips her arm around my waist as we walk towards her house, excuse me mansion. As the doors swing open in front of us I almost squeak out loud.

There seems to be hundreds of people here and they all look like they've stepped out of a fashion magazine. Vogue, they are all models from Vogue.

"Spencer, close your mouth and stop staring."

I scowl at her but she's just smiling easily to herself and leading me to where there are several older people.

"…so I left him."

All the people are nodding solemnly and giving the woman with red hair sad looks.

"Ashley, darling!"

The red head flashes Ashley a brilliant smile and pushes past all the other people to gather my girlfriend into her arms. The enthusiasm is returned by Ashley and their embrace lasts for several seconds.

"Aunt Kel! You look awesome."

Aunt Kel smiles wickedly and shrugs before her sharp green eyes land on me, I feel two feet tall.

"And who is this beautiful girl."

Ashley quickly returns to my side and I feel her possessive grip on my waist once again.

"Aunt Kelly this is my girlfriend Spencer. Spence meet the coolest person ever, Aunt Kel."

Kelly quirks her eyebrow when Ashley says girlfriend and her eyes are scanning me, probably finding my weaknesses so she can kill me or something.

"Hi, nice to meet you."

I stick out my hand for a handshake and almost piss myself when I feel her hug me. She's so tall that when she stands straight, still holding onto me, my feet dangle above the ground.

Ashley is grinning at me as Kelly sets me down and I immediately latch myself back onto my laughing girlfriend.

"Spencer…isn't that a guy's name?"

"I get that a lot."

Both women laugh and Ashley nuzzles my cheek before excusing herself to get us champagne.

"Ok I'm glad we are alone. I have something I want to say to you."

Oh good here comes the 'I don't like you very much but…' speech.

"Uh…"

"Just let me talk. So, Ashley is like a little sister to me and I've met a lot of her 'girlfriends' and never really like any of them. Maybe it's because I can tell they mean so little to her but you're different. The way she looks at you is just obvious she's head over heels. Be careful with her, she's a lot more fragile than she acts."

Kelly squeezes my shoulder before leaving me with my mouth hanging wide open and a lump forming in my throat. I think I've just gained the approval of Ashley's number one.

"Baby where'd Aunt Kel go? What's wrong, did she do something to you?"

Ashley's eyes search mine and there's an anxious look written all over her face. I take one of the flutes of champagne and give her a small smile.

"No Ash, she was perfect. I really like her."

She full out grins at me, complete with that sexy nose crinkle and my knees almost give out completely.

"Ok let's finish so I can get you liquored up enough to make some bad decisions."

A sexy wink is thrown my way before she downs her drink and once again takes my hand in hers. I follow her into the throng of people because that's what I do, I follow her.

"Assssssh, kiss meeeeee."

Ok maybe I'm a little drunk. Hey, it's not my fault my glass kept refilling. My girlfriend is a sneaky, sneaky girl.

Her lips land on my temple and she rests one of her hands on my thigh. That was not the kind of kiss I had in mind.

"Stop pouting Spencer. I'm not going to make out with you in front of my entire family."

"You suck."

She chuckles and she's sitting so close the vibrations from her body bounce into mine. The heat has continued through the whole party and even now as the sun starts to set its sticky out.

My feet dangling in the cool water of the pool have kept me from collapsing of heat stroke and every now and then I get splashed from Glen and Kyla playing around in the water. Ashley's humming lazily next to me as she watches the sun set and I can't seem to stop staring at her.

I know she can feel my gaze on her face but she continues to stare straight ahead while her fingers draw small circles on my knee.

"Ashley?"

"Hmm, yeah what's up Spence?"

"Are you happy?"

The question must catch her off guard because her hands stills but only for a few beats.

"Of course, why would you ask?"

Now those big brown eyes that make the butterflies in my stomach go crazy are probing me for answers.

But when my hand goes to rest on her stomach and a silent tear falls down my face realization washes across her expression. It hurts to see her become so sad but she doesn't ever talk about it and I need to know.

"Spence…"

It's a whispered plea and usually I'd leave it alone.

"Ashley please, you never want to talk about it and now I feel like I might deserve some answers, please."

"And I still don't…"

Our small moment is going completely unnoticed by everyone else as people walk by us chattering happily.

"It's ok you can talk to me about it."

A deep shuddering breath leaves her mouth and she laces her fingers with mine before she starts.

"I told you I only slept with a guy once but it was enough to get pregnant. At first I was totally freaked and was gonna abort but something snapped inside me. I decided to keep the baby like all the way. It was a little girl, my little girl."

Her eyes are glistening with unshed tears and I can't even begin to imagine what it felt like.

"Anyway, about a month and a half in I woke up in a pool of my own blood. I had miscarried while I was asleep. The doctor said it wasn't my fault but I can't help but feel like I was punished for something. She was mine and she was a part of me. Imagine losing a limb, it's even worse than that."

Now I've changed my mind, I don't want to hear anymore. Her eyes are hollow and she won't look at me but there's one more thing I want to ask and I won't ever have the nerve again.

"W-Who was the father?"

Her reaction breaks my heart. Ashley looks at me with broken eyes and shakes her head slowly, tears rolling down her face.

"Spence, don't you think that's enough?"

"This is the last thing, trust me please."

Thinking back I should have known, I should have seen the answer but maybe I've been ignoring it.

"Aiden."

Now I'm dizzy and I drop her hand like it burned me. I know my response upset her but she should have told me this earlier, like way earlier.

"What? No, because you would have said something earlier or…I don't know, it just can't be. I mean you guys hate each other…right? Like…did you love him?"

That previous drunkenness, it's gone now and all I can feel is anger or maybe confusion.

I'm on my feet in an instant with Ashley standing up right next to me, her eyes wide.

This time I don't want to be right, I don't want to know the truth. The truth might hurt too much. But why? Why would the idea of her loving him hurt me? Even I don't understand, it just feels like some sort of sick betrayal.

"No Spencer. It was a stupid experiment but it resulted in something amazing, that's all. Where are you going?"

I've started walking away, to where I have no idea. Her strides match mine and she pulls me into some sort of closet. Where the hell are we?

"Where, what are you doing?"

She has me trapped against the wall and I'm still intoxicated enough that I can't really push her out of the way.

"Spencer, I never loved Aiden and trust me I never will. He told me he wanted nothing to do with me or the baby. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to feel like I was trying to sabotage the relationship. I wanted you to figure him out for yourself."

She's right, of course.

"I'm sorry Ash."

Her body is suddenly wrapped around mine in a hug. I might kill him though the next time I see him.

Why does everything have to be so complicated?

Thank you everyone. Again sorry for the delay.
