"Hey if it isn't my favorite lil cousin the new co-general manager of Raw" Jeff yelled upon seeing Ashley.
"Nero get over here and help me" was Ashley's reply.
She handed Jeff a sleeping Christian before going back to help Talon out.
"You ok getting out baby girl?" Ashley asked Gracie.
"Yep I am" she answered.
Ashley had insisted that Marissa joined them because Ashley considered her family now. She was busy unbuckling Frankie.
"Do you have him Rissa?" she asked.
"Yeah don't worry about it" Marrissa said.
"Well looks like we have everything settled and Jeff and I will come back out for the bags later" Ashley said.
"Hey Jen" Ashley said greeting Jeff's girlfriend.
"Ash every time I see you another child is in your care" Jen said.
Ashley would have found the comment funny if it wasn't true. But she loved all her kids so it really didn't matter if she had enough money she'd have 100.
"Yeah well you know us southern folks" Ashley said "the bigger the family the better".
"Ash you were raised in New England" Jeff said shaking his head.
"Yeah but I spent more time in Cameron so I consider that my home making me from the south" Ashley replied.
"Sure you keep thinking that" Jeff said.
"I will" she said. "now I have to make a phone call"
Ashley pulled out her cell phone and dialed Vince McMahon's number.
"Vince hey what's up?" Ashley asked.
"I'm fine how's the vacation?" Vince asked.
"It's fine but I need you to do me a huge favor" Ashley said.
"Sure what is it?" Vince asked.
"I want Candice's ass in a match when I get back" Ashley said.
Everyone in the room was watching her intently now. Only Jeff and Marissa knew why she wanted Candice but they weren't sure why. She had said herself that she was happy John moved on.
"Done" Vince said.
"Thanks" Ashley said and then hung up.
Ashley looked around and realized everyone was staring at her.
"What?" she asked.
"For someone who has no feeling for a certain someone you sure are quick to quick Candice's ass" Jeff said.
"Concuerdo con Jeff que usted todavía lo adora" Marissa said. (I agree with Jeff you still love him).
"I have my reasons and I'm not going to discuss this" Ashley said.
Ashley went into her bedroom and turned on Whitney Houston's Exhale (Shoop Shoop) on in her cd player. She didn't want him back... she kept telling herself that but she knew she didn't mean it. Ashley fell asleep thinking about all of this. When she woke up it was dark and she wasn't alone it bed. Christian was asleep next to her and Gracie and Talon where on her other side and Frankie was on her chest. They all looked so peaceful she wished life could be like this all the time.
A/N: Short chapter but I only wanted to bring up the fact that Ashley isn't going to give up John without a fight whether she wants to admit it or not.
