Felix got Ashley pregnant and then said that it was Lucas. it was all a plan to get brooke back, which obviously didn't work. it'll be more clear hopefully at the end of this chapter what happened in the note. if it isn't, than i'll explain later.

Ashley sat in the car, silently looking out the window of the unfamiliar car. "When did you get this?" She asked, trying to make conversation. She used to be able to talk to Tommy, but now, she wasn't able to.

"Oh, I bought it with money from Felix." He said, hanging his head down. "Ashley listen, I'm sorry I ever got you involved with him." Tommy had lately been regretting ever agreeing to terms with Felix. "I just, wanted you to know that."

Ashley rolled her eyes and continued to look out the window. Tommy kept looking at her. "Well, so what have you and Felix been up to." Ashley just ignored him. Tommy decided to just keep talking, eventually she would have to say something. "Any way, we're going to Mexico. Felix is going to meet us there. He said that after we meet him, he'll let us go." Tommy said. He really was looking forward to being done with all of this. Ashley again looked at the window.

Ashley looked at Tommy and cracked a smile. "Well, unless we're going to Hell, Mexico, I doubt it."

Tommy stared at her. "What the fuck are you talking about!"

"Didn't you hear? Felix is dead." Ashley said, happy that she could hurt her brother for a change.

"You're just trying to let me let you go, that way you can get away. Sorry sis, but if I do that, than it'll be me dead." Tommy said shaking his head.

"I'm not joking Tommy. He's dead." Tommy looked at Ashley in shock. He couldn't believe it. He wasn't focused at all on the road though, and that was about to become a problem. "Tommy!" Ashley screamed at the top of her lungs. Tommy turned his eyes back to the road. He looked through the front windshield. He had crossed an intersection, running a red light, and saw two cars coming from either side of the intersection. Tommy's life flashed before his eyes.

You have a sister

this is Felix

your sister is hot

do what I say

don't you want money

she's pregnant

kill her

sorry

Ashley also saw what was going on. She however, didn't have her life flash before her eyes. That had already happened, earlier in the day.

Flash Back

Ashley laid on the uncomfortable hospital bed. She didn't even think that they should call it a bed, more like a slate. She had been trying to rest for about a hour or two. She had come to the hospital shortly after Haley and Nathan went to Brooke and Lucas's. She thought about calling them, but she knew that it could take a long time, so she would call them later. Ashley turned on the TV, the OC. "Brooke would be thrilled!" She said to herself. There was a knock at the door. "Come in." She said, taking a deep breath as another contraction ripped across her body. She had originally decided that she wanted a natural birth, but that quickly flew out the window.

"Hello Ms. Sinclair. I'm doctor Dalloy." The male doctor said, looking at her chart. Ashley looked at him. He looked not much older than Tommy, maybe 30. She shivered, feeling all of the sudden extremely uncomfortable. She hadn't thought or heard from her brother in about 8 months. She thought to herself that she had finally seen the last of him, but she wasn't quite sure. "Now, you're about 6 cm dilated. The baby's father's in the hall and."

Ashley heard the words come out of Dr. Dalloy's mouth and she thought he was joking. "Excuse me, the baby's father?" Ashley asked, hopping that she was delusional from the drugs.

"Yes, your husband." He said, opening the door to reveal Tommy. He hadn't shaved and had gained a little weight but she knew that it was him.

Ashley opened her mouth. "Tommy" she whispered, barley audible.

Dr. Dalloy closed the door so he could continue to talk to Ashley before he let Tommy in. "Is there anyone else you would like us to call. You'll probably begin pushing in an hour or so if things continue on at this rate." He said, jotting notes into her chart.

Ashley continued staring at the door to her hospital room, still in shock from what she saw. "Um, yes. Could you please call Brooke and Lucas Scott. There phone number is 435-8097."

"Of course. Is there a message you would like me to relay?"

"Just tell them to get here as soon as they can please." Ashley said. The doctor left the room and she closed her eyes. She had fallen asleep, but woke up when she heard the door open slowly.

"Brooke?" She asked, hopping that they were here to save her from Tommy. She had no idea why he was here. Felix was gone, dead, that should have been the end of her troubles with him.

"Nope. It's just me." Tommy said, grabbing a chair and putting it next to Ashley's bed.

"Tommy, what are you doing here?" She asked, sitting up, and quickly lying back down. She had only been asleep for a little while, but she could feel that something was happening. She just prayed that the doctor had been able to get a hold of Lucas and Brooke before it was too late.

"Well, you see, about 7 and a half months ago, Felix called me. You remember him don't you? Your husband?" Tommy mockingly said. He knew that this would piss her off, which would make Felix happy.

"Shut up Tommy. I'm not in the best mood right now, so if you could please tell me what the hell you are doing here and get on your way, I'd appreciate it." Ashley said back with authority.

"Chill out babe!" Tommy said, but quickly backed off when he saw the look in Ashley's eye. "Anyway, so he told me that you were pregnant. Congrats. So, he told me that by the time you would be having the baby, he would be with his mystery woman. He told me that at about 7 months after he called me, I was to move back to Tree Hill. I was supposed to watch you and when you went into labor, I was, am, supposed to be your support." Tommy said, taking a minute to let it all soak in.

"That didn't answer my question Tommy. I don't need any support. I've got my friends here, and..." Ashley screamed out. She had just felt something that she knew shouldn't have been there. "Tommy, go get Dr. Dalloy now! The baby's coming!"

Tommy looked at Ashley, the fear in her eyes was something that he had never seen before. He ran out of the room and into the doctors in the hallway. Tommy stopped to catch his breath and then started his mission. "Dr. Dalloy?" He asked. A young male doctor stepped towards Tommy, a phone in his hand. "My sis, I mean wife, Ashley Sinclair, she said that something was wrong. Hurry!" He said, running back towards Ashley's room. Dr. Dalloy dropped the phone and the number he had started to dial. A piece of paper fell to the floor. A receptionist picked up the phone and paper. Lucas and Brooke Scott. 435-8097. Come ASAP. She through what she thought was a scrap away, and paged the nursery to let them know that a new baby would be arriving soon.

The doctor and Tommy rushed through the hallway to Ashley's room. "Help me, please." Ashley screamed.

"Ok, Ashley. The baby is crowning. You need to push." Dr. Dalloy said, getting ready to deliver the baby.

Tommy went up to his sisters head and offered his hand in support. Ashley didn't think and took it. "I can't do it. I just can't!" She screamed and pushed at the same time.

10 minutes later, Dr. Dalloy came back to Ashley, a baby wrapped in a pink blanket. "We'll give you some alone time." He said, and left the room.

Ashley stared at the baby in her arms. She couldn't imagine how she was going to be able to protect something so small. Ashley looked up and saw Tommy. "What are you doing?" She asked.

Tommy ran around the room frantically packing Ashley's clothes and belongings. "We're leaving." He said.

"But she's too little." Ashley said, shielding her baby from the evil that was her brother.

"No, we're leaving." He said motioning to himself and Ashley. "In 20 minutes, I'll meet you outside. You're signing out against medical advice. If you don't, I'll kill you." Tommy looked at her. Ashley knew that Tommy was fully capable of doing what he had threatened.

Tommy through a pad of paper and a pen at her. The nurse had come in a few minutes earlier to take the baby to the nursery for a little bit. "What's this?" She asked.

"Write a note. Tell Lucas that he has to keep the baby. Fill his name out on the birth certificate. Then, we're leaving."

Tommy left the room with her bags. She started to write the note, but thought of something. "Tommy's defiantly stupid, he'll never know if I just..." Ashley took a new piece of paper and began to write her note. She knew that if she had left clues, Lucas would eventually figure them out, well at least Brooke would. Ashley looked at her perfectly crafted note. She had capitalized and bolded the letters, T,O,M,M,Y,T,O,O,K,M,E, in the note."There, now, if they see the hidden clues, they'll be able to rescue me." Ashley said as she walked up out of bed and out of the hospital.

As she got into the car, all she could do was look back at the hospital. She prayed that Lucas and Brooke would be able to save her so that she could see her baby again. She knew that in the back of her mind though, there was no other people she would want to raise her little girl than Brooke and Lucas. As Tommy pulled away, Ashley silently cried. She prayed that she would be seeing her daughter and friends soon, before it was too late.

End of Flashback

Ashley was still groggy from the labor. She didn't know what had happened. The last few things that had remembered was Tommy and the hospital. She remembered his concerned look when she winced in pain getting into the car. She could tell that he still cared about her. She was his sister after all, but he was afraid of Felix. Ashley also remembered passing out of North Carolina and South Carolina. She had realized that they were in Georgia only because she saw the "Welcome to Georgia" sign out the window. That was the last thing she could remember. Ashley opened her eyes and realized that she was lying on the road. She was covered in blood and couldn't feel her legs. Then, it all came back to her. She had told Tommy about Felix, then the crash.

Ashley tried to take a deep breath, but couldn't. She faintly heard voices and saw sirens. She took a shallow breath, and was able to speak for a moment. "Baby." was all she could manage to whisper. Nothing happened so she tried again. "Baby" she managed to say a little louder. She saw people rushing over to her as she tried, unsuccessfully, to lift her head.

A young women leaned over her, placing a mask over her nose and mouth. "Miss, please, don't move." The paramedic tried to work on Ashley but she wasn't staying still. Ashley grew tired and so she decided to let the paramedic do her job. "Miss, do you remember what happened?" Ashley tried to speak but couldn't.

"What's your name sweetheart?" A different paramedic asked.

Again, Ashley opened her mouth but nothing came out.

"Let's intabate her." A paramedic said, grabbing supplies out of her bag.

Ashley tried once more to speak. This time, she was able to get audible words out. "Tell, Lucas, and Brooke to take good care of my baby." Ashley whispered to the paramedic working on her.

"You tell them." She said. Ashley closed her eyes and thought about her life. She remembered the life she had before Felix. He had ruined her life in many more ways than one. But, he had given her Brooke, Lucas, Haley, Nathan, Payton, Jake, and even the baby. She felt like she had done what she needed to do on earth. Ashley slowly took shallower and shallower breaths. She couldn't do it anymore. "Stay with us!" She heard the young paramedic say. That was the last thing Ashley heard. She just closed her eyes and gave up. She was tired of fighting. She couldn't do it anymore. She was drained emotionally and physically. She had already died inside, the minute Tommy took her away from her daughter. Without her friends or the baby, she had nothing to live for. Ashley closed her eyes, knowing that she would never open them again.

Sorry for the sad chapter. I didn't want her to die either, but it's going to be a good thing for the story. Anyway, rivew and please give me some new ideas for the sequal title. 10 reviews until the next ud! i decided to ud anyway this time, but next time i won't be so nice!
