"Stay away from me." Ashley said. She turned and walked away.
Ashley went back to Seth's locker room. She sighed frustrated.
"What?" Seth said.
"Nothing."
"Did you see Randy?"
"Yeah."
"Was it awkward?"
"Beyond."
"Want me to talk to him?"
"No I can handle it."
"Ok." "Come here." She sat down next to him. "Don't stress honey." "It's not good for you or the baby."
"I know."
"I get why you were so hesitant to come here." "You can go home if it makes you more comfortable."
"No." "I wanna stay." "The hell with Randy."
After the show Seth was hanging out in Ashley's room.
"How are your feet?" Seth asked.
"Sore and swollen."
"Bring them up here." She put her feet in his lap and he started to rub them.
"Thank you honey."
"You're welcome." "We should practice your Lamaze tomorrow."
"Yeah I've been kind of slacking."
"Well the doctor said it'll help you through the labor."
"I know I'm the one who told you that."
"I know." "I just want you to be as comfortable as possible."
"Well Seth I'll be pushing a human being out of my body." "I won't be that comfortable no matter what I do." "You know." "You don't have to go back to your room tonight if you don't want to."
"Really?" He said grinning.
"Yeah." "Unless you don't want to."
"I want to."
"Good." "Help me up so we can go to bed."
"Alright." They got up and went into the bedroom.
The next evening Ashley was heading back to her room from grabbing dinner. She got on the elevator. Just before the doors closed Randy got on with her.
"Hi." He said. She just rolled her eyes. "Why do you have to be like this every time I try to talk to you?"
"I don't wanna talk to you."
"Why?"
"You know why." "You were using me."
"What?" "You know that's not true." "I loved you." "I still love you."
"I don't want to be in that type of relationship Randy." "That's why I left." "That's why I like being with Seth." "He puts me first." "He doesn't try to hide me."
"That doesn't mean I love you any less."
"No that just means you love her more."
"I love you Ashley." He stood in front of her. "I love our son." He said putting his hands on her stomach. The baby kicked. "Aw you're kicking." He knelt down by her stomach. "You know daddy's here don't you."
"Don't listen." "You don't have a daddy."
"Yes you do." "Daddy loves you." He kissed her stomach and looked up at Ashley. "Daddy loves mommy." "I know deep down your mommy still loves me." He slowly started kissing her up her body.
"Stop." She said in a moaning voice.
"Don't fight it." He was standing now. "I know you want this to." He kissed the side of her neck.
"Ohhhh."
"See?"
The elevator dinged for her floor. "No." "I can't." She said pushing Randy away from her. She got off the elevator. "I won't get sucked back into your games." The doors closed.
