Chapter 29: Like a Fairy Tale
Ashley sat down at the table and watched as Andros goofed off on the dance floor with Zhane and some of the other guys. "Look at that smile," Cassie commented. Ashley laughed slightly and she looked at the ring on her finger.
"I knew Andros was the one, took me forever, but I knew I found myself a winner," Ashley answered.
She watched as three-year-old Jack ran out on the dance floor. "DADDY!" He shouted. Ashley smiled as she pushed her hair out of her face as Andros picked Jack up, setting him on his shoulders.
"I'm so glad I found a winner," she added.
"We're all happy for you, Ash," Cassie put in.
Ashley smiled and she looked at Cassie. "Oh and I'm also pregnant," she added. Cassie gasped and she hugged her.
"Have you told Andros yet?" She asked.
"Not yet, I just found out yesterday," Ashley replied.
Cassie pulled back. "Here's an idea, why don't you go tell him now?" She suggested. Ashley looked over to see Andros put Jack down on the floor.
"Good he put Jack down, I wasn't going to tell him with Jack on his shoulders," Ashley answered.
Cassie laughed and she pushed Ashley to the dance floor. "Go tell him!" She laughed. Ashley got up and she walked over to Andros.
"Hey what's going on?" Carlos asked.
"Sh, watch," Cassie replied.
Carlos sat next to Cassie and watched as Ashley whispered something into Andros's ear. Andros seemed to be in shock for a second. He saw the shocked expression turn into a smile before he picked Ashley and spun her around.
Ashley smiled and she held onto Andros's hands once he set her down. "I love you," he murmured. Ashley kissed him briefly before answering.
"I love you too," she answered.
(Seven Months Later)
Ashley was laying back against the pillows of her bed when she heard the door open. "Sorry, didn't mean to wake you," Andros told her. Ashley shook her head slightly.
"I was just dozing," she answered.
He sat on the edge of her bed and she held his hand. "How does our baby look?" She asked.
"She's beautiful," he replied.
Ashley smiled and she let out a sigh. "Where's Jack?" She asked.
"I had Karone take him home, the poor kid fell asleep while waiting," he replied.
"Poor thing," she murmured.
He kissed her forehead. "You were incredible," he commented. Ashley smiled and she held his hand.
"Well I certainly hope so, speaking I've done this once before," she answered.
Andros ran circles over the palm of her hand. "She needs a name," he commented. Ashley laid back and she closed her eyes.
"I've always liked the name Amber," she answered.
He smiled and he kissed the top of her hand. "Amber, I like it," he murmured. Ashley smiled and then Andros laid down with his head on her shoulder. Ashley wrapped her arms around him and she kissed the top of his head.
"I love you," she murmured.
Andros kissed her fingers and he smiled. "I love you too," he answered. They ended up falling asleep like that, knowing that when they woke up, they'd be facing the future together with their kids.

Conner did a jump front kick to one of the soldiers when he suddenly became surrounded. "I get really sick of this game," he commented.
"PANTHER DAGGERS!" Kira shouted.
"HAWK STAFF!" Conner shouted.
They blasted the soldiers away and Conner glanced at Kira. "I knew I could count on you to show up," he commented.
"Always, now let's go kick some mutant ass," Kira answered.
"Right behind you."
