"About what John I think you made it perfectly clear how you felt about me a few minutes ago" Ashley spat.
"Well I think I deserve an explanation as to why you left" John said.
"You think you deserve an explanation huh?" Ashley asked.
"You are god damn right I do" he said.
"I got scared I couldn't take being a mother of 3 kids at the age of 20 is that what you want to hear" she yelled.
John was taken aback for a moment by her outburst.
"What more than you want from me I'M SORRY OK" she said.
"It wouldn't be so bad if it were just me but we have 3 kids" he said.
"I know John and I truly am sorry but I had to leave" she said.
"I gave you a choice when we adopted Talon" he said.
"It was never about the kids or you John it was about me, I needed to get away for a while and I'm not asking you to forgive me and if you never want to talk to me ever again that is fine but I want to see my children" she said.
"Now they are your children where were you for over a year of their lives... huh where were you when Talon gotpneumonia or when Gracie sprained her ankle playing soccer or even when they would cry every god damn night because they thought their mother didn't love them anymore" John yelled.
"I'm sorry John, I truly am I never meant to hurt you but please all I want to do is see my kids" she said.
"Fine" he said.
"Thank you" she said.
"Ashley" Marissa said.
"Yeah what is it?" Ashley asked.
"El quiere a su madre" Marissa said handing a crying Frankie to Ashley. (He wants his mother)
"Está bien a mami de Francisco está aquí" Ashley said to the baby rocking him a little. (It's ok Francisco mommy is here)
"I may not know Spanish but I know the word mommy when I hear it" John said. "you know I really can't believe you, you leave me and our three kids so you can go fuck some other guy and have his kid"
John felt the sting of Ashley's hand against his cheek.
"How can you even think I would do that there are more than just one way to have a baby John and for your information I didn't sleep with anyone I was a surrogate mother for a friend and his wife BUT THEY FUCKING DIED ON THE WAY TO PICK FRANKIE UP" She yelled.
John couldn't look her in the eyes he had been an asshole and lost his temper nothing new.
"Now is there anything else you want to know John or can I leave?" Ashley asked in a cold tone.
"I'm sorry I never should have said that but you have to admit that is what it looked like" John said.
"Do you honestly believe that I would cheat on the father of my children?" she asked.
"I didn't think you would leave either and you did" he said.
"John you don't even know me at all" Ashley said as she started to walk away.
"Don't worry about her she's just mad right now" Marissa said.
"Who are you?" John asked.
"My name is Marissa Lopez-Martin" she said "I'm Francisco's nanny"
"What am I supposed to think he coming back here with another man's baby?" John asked.
"It's not me you have to worry about I just get paid to watch the baby she's the woman you love" Marissa said.
"How can I ever trust her again?" John asked.
"Your heart will find a way" she said.
John watched as Marissa walked away. He was even more confused now then he was before the only difference would be that he would have to work with her every day.
"My life just keeps getting better and better" he mumbled to himself before going to his own locker room.
John threw his bags into his truck and got in he was picking up his kids at Chris's house and he knew that they had seen Raw so basically what that meant for him was a big headache. The ten minute drive seemed to be much longer to him. He could see the lights were still on he sighed and got out of the truck. He met Gracie halfway up the pathway that lead to the house.
"Gracie Lynn what are you still doing up?" he asked.
"You saw mommy" she said.
"Yeah I saw her" he replied.
"Did she ask about us?" Gracie asked trying not to sound too excited.
"Yeah she wants to see you guys" John said.
"Are you going to let her see us?" she asked.
"Do you want to see her" John asked.
"Yeah I missed her" Gracie said.
"Well how can I say no to that face?" John asked.
Gracie gave him a kiss on the cheek. John picked her up and they walked into the house. John met Chris in the foyer he had been waiting for him.
"Gracie how you go help Lilian get the boys ready" Chris suggested.
Gracie took the hint that they wanted to talk about something serious so she went to go help Lilian.
"So what happened?" Chris asked.
"We fought and then I found out she has a baby" John said.
"What do you mean she has a baby?" Lilian asked putting her arm around Chris waist as she came to stand next to him.
"Apparently she was a surrogate for a friend of her's but then both the guy and his wife died and left the baby to her" John said.
"What is my daughter doing?" Chris asked.
"Be damed if I know" John said. "all I have to say is she looked good tonight"
"That is still my daughter you are talking about" Chris said.
"Sorry man I didn't mean to all freak you out like that but I don't know what to do I love her but she left me and her kids" John said.
"Did she tell you why she left?" Chris asked.
"Yeah she said some shit about being 20 with 3 kids and being scared" John said running his hand down the back of his head.
"So now she is almost 22 and had 4 kids that is so much better" Chris said in an angry tone.
John knew he was hurting too because Ashley hadn't talked to him since she left also and now she was basically throwing her life away. For the first time Chris was disappointed in his daughter and it scared him.
John got all the kids together and was ready to leave.
"Think about this John if you don't take her back I won't hold it against you" Chris said as he gave John a manly hug.
"Thanks man it means a lot" John said.
He got the kids in the car and drove to the nearest airport all John wanted was to get home and think about things.
