Babygirl2006: Thanks a lot!
IndieMoviePrincess: Do I have you intrigued?
This one is kinda short and boring, but I have a really good idea for the next update. It will take me a while to write, but spring break is coming up.
Ashley looked through the phone book. She needed a therapist. She wanted to know if she should be worried. What if it really was a flashback? How would she know? She couldn't talk to Spencer or Skye about this... they where too much involved. Ashley needed to see a third party and fast, or this was going to haunt her.
"Hi," she called an office at random, "How long for a new person to get an appointment?"
"Three weeks."
"Can you please schedule me in for that appointment? My name is Ashley Davies."
"Is 1pm Tuesday the 7th okay for you?"
"Yes. And if anyone cancels and a sooner appointment arises, please give me a call."
"So," Spencer looked into Ashley's eyes. She'd avoided this conversation until after Parker was in bed, but now there was no waiting. She had to know, "Are you going to tell me about your nightmare?"
Ashley hesitated, but there was no way around this. She was hoping that Spencer was alseep enough to not have remembered that Ashley woke her up, "I'm not sure how you'll react to this," she paused to regain her courage, "I think I might have remembered who Skye's father is."
"Who?" Spencer asked intently.
"I was too doped up that night to be certain this really happened. In my nightmare/flashback thing I was raped," Ashley didn't want to upset Spencer by telling her by who.
"By who?" Spencer asked again.
Ashley was just going to have to spit it out, "Glen."
"What!" That was possibly the loudest Ashley had heard Spencer yell ever.
"The dream could totally mean something else. All I remember for sure about that night was that I was drinking at Gray. It gets fuzzy somewhere in there, and I woke up alone in a hotel room. A cheap one at that."
"I know he's an ass, but I didn't think he was that much of an ass."
Good, Spencer was siding with Ashley, "I go to a hypnotherapist in three weeks. We'll see what I can find out there.
"We can do some detective work," Spencer suggested, "Get some of Glen's hair out of his baby book. Get Skye's DNA. Get a paternity test done. Voila, we'll know for sure."
"We don't have to do that. Lets wait and see what the therapist says," Ashley paused to think, "You'd do that for me?"
"Yeah, if it means you get peace of mind."
Ashley smiled. Then had a realization, "Should I tell Skye?"
Spencer considered, "Not right now. Wait until you know more for sure."
"You know, at dinner that night with her parents, she reminded me of you. How you had your outbursts to protect me. The whole Glen scenario would explain a lot. Or it could be the fact that she reminded me of you that I had that scenario made up in my unconcious mind."
"Just don't worry about it right now," Spencer reassured her, "We'll figure this out eventually," Spencer squeezed Ashley's hand, "Its time for bed now. Come on," she got up, and Ashley followed close behind.
