Recap of last chapter:
"We need to talk" Bam said as soon as he saw Ashley.
"Bam what are you doing here?" she asked.
He didn't answer her he just handed her what looked to be a court order. She read it over and shook her head not comprehending what she was reading.
"It says you are ordering a paternity test for my baby" she said.
"That's right I am" he replied.
"Bam why are you doing this?" she asked.
By now John had brought Talon into the house and came back out to see what was going on. He could see that Ashley was near tears but he was still too far away to hear what they were talking about.
"What's going on?" he asked wrapping his arms around Ashley's waist.
"Nothing man just wanting to make sure I get what's mine" he said.
"Ash what is he talking about?" John asked obviously confused.
"You mean that you didn't tell him that the baby you are carrying could be mine?" Bam asked in a mock surprised tone.
"Bam why are you doing this I never slept with you?" Ashley asked not trying to hide the tears that were rolling down her cheeks.
"Why lie about it Ash you were apart go ahead tell him how you came to me and one thing lead to another and well John can fill in the rest" Bam said in a cocky tone.
"Bam I can't believe you that never happened I went there to visit your girlfriend who happens to be like my sister" Ashley declared her rage taking over.
John hadn't said anything as of yet which shocked Ashley but also made her even more angry.
"Bam you need to leave now" she said coldly.
"Don't make this harder than it has to be" he said as he left.
Ashley stormed into the house and sat on the couch but then got back up and started to pace. John entered the room and was just watching her.
"I can't believe him that lying asshole!" Ashley yelled as she continued to pace.
"I'm goin to ask you this once is what Bam said true?" John asked his blue eyes where filled with rage.
"I can't even believe that you would ask me that I told you that I didn't" she said irate.
"Ash you lie to everyone else why not lie about this" he said
"You know what Fuck you because I have never slept with anyone but you and you can believe what you want but that is the truth!" she yelled.
She grabbed her coat and keys and was walking out the door when John asked where she was going.
"I'm going somewhere you aren't" she yelled before slamming the door.
John could hear Talon upstairs crying the door slamming must have scared him John watched Ashley go he wanted to go after her but Talon needed him so he turned in the other direction and walked in Talon's room.
Ashley drove about 2 block before she stopped and realized she had nowhere to go. She pulled out her cellphone and called Jeff.
"Hardy" he said answering the phone.
"Jeff where are you?" she asked.
"Shorty what's wrong you don't sound well?" Jeff asked concerned.
"I'm ok I just really need to talk to someone right now who isn't John" she said
"Did he hit you because if he did..."
Ashley cut him off before he could finish.
"No Jeff he didn't hit me but I really do need to talk to someone in person" she said
"I'm in Sacramento for a TNA press conference" he replied
"Wait isn't TNA shot in Orlando?" she asked
"Yeah but were hosting a pay per view here" he replied
"Well I'm going to come down to see you ok" she said
"Yeah sure I'll see ya when you get here" he said hanging up.
By the time Ashley got to Sacramento it was raining. Jeff had told her where he was staying so she knew where she was going. She knocked on the door and Jeff opened it. She was standing there dripping went from the rain.
"Sweetie what happened?" Jeff asked ushering her into the room.
"Bam c...came to the house t...today and t...told John that I w..was sleeping w..with him while we were a.apart and now he d...doesn't think the b...baby is his" she cried.
"Well it isn't true is it?" Jeff asked.
"Jeff, John is the only man I have ever slept with" she replied honestly.
"Deep down he has to know that" Jeff said. "in the meantime here put these on"
He handed her a t-shirt and a pair of sweats to put on. She took them and went into the bathroom.
"So how long are you going to be here?" she asked.
"Three days" he replied.
Jeff was flipping through the channels on tv but there was nothing on. Ashley came out of the bathroom she looked exhausted.
"Is it ok if I crash here with you?" she asked.
"Now is there really even need to ask that question" Jeff replied.
Ashley sat down next to him and leaned her head on his shoulder.
"I love you cousin" she said.
"Love you too" he replied. "but now what the hell is up with you and John you haven't even been back together for a month"
"I don't know and I really don't like it he seems different now I'm just afraid that we are too different now" she replied sadly.
"You and John are soul mates and nothing you can say will change that I've seen the way y'all look at each other when you think nobody is watching" he said. "your mom and dad used to be the same way I remember you are so much like her it's like she was never really gone"
"Jeff what was my mother like?" she asked.
"Well she was smart and funny just like you and she had this amazing smile that just made you want to be a better person and she was beautiful all the time she could be covered in mud and still look beautiful" he said
"You two were close?" Ashley asked.
"Matt used to make my life a living hell when I was younger but she always stood up for me and she used to make these little apple cakes just for me, she was my favorite aunt". Ashley could tell Jeff was lost in memory she smiled and fell asleep listening to him talk about the mother she had never known.
A/N: Before you grab you knives and pitchforks and come to my house Ashley and John are not broken up they just had a fight but John will come to his scenses.
