I forgot I hadn't posted this. The day I tried, I was having technical difficulties

BROOKLYNDEB : Glen is an ass, but I just love writing him. I'm not quite sure what he'll do when he finds out the whole truth

clearwatergurl99 : I'm still at a loss on how Skye is going to react, so I'm avoiding it for another chapter. One thing is for sure, in the next couple chapters the shit is going to hit the fan.

free21: I love writing emotional. Thanks for the review and the nice words.

"Hey Aiden," Spencer called him while Skye was in the shower, and Ashley was in the bedroom, "Do you have any one bedrooms on ground level by the pool, preferably close to Ash and I?"

"Who wants one?"

"Ashley's daughter Skye needs an apartment. Her parents aren't paying for her to have one anymore because she's pregnant. Her old lease is up next week. Do you have anything?"
"I'm at a different desk. Hang on." Spencer heard him shuffling through papers, "You're in luck... there is a vacancy about four units down from you. Its a two bedroom, but all of the units on the first floor are."

"That sounds alright. How much are you asking?"

Aiden considered, "Why do you still have such a persuasive effect on me?"

Spencer smiled lightly, deciding not to answer, 'because you still have a crush on me'

"Oh damn Spencer, you know the answer to that. You're just so damn cute."

"Careful there. We're both spoken for. So what is the price you're asking?"

Aiden was wishing he wasn't such a nice guy, "Half of what I'm asking for yours. I figure thats fair for an unwed mother who has you two as allies. Come by my office sometime early next week, and we can take care of it. I'm not doing this for you again."

Spencer smiled. Aiden was such a push over. She chose not to say what was in her head. Self-censorship is an art, and Spencer is good at it... sometimes, "Okay. Thanks. I gotta go start on dinner. I'll see you soon."

"Bye Spence."

"Bye."

"Hey Ash!" Spencer called into the bedroom from the living room, "Come here a sec."

"Yeah?" Ashley came out of the room.

"Aiden said there is going to be a vacancy at the end of the month, and that Skye can have it at half what we're paying. I know she doesn't have job right now, but I figure that we can help her stay on her feet for a while."

"Thats great. Thanks for understanding this."

"How could I not?"

"You're great, you know that? You're just wonderful."

"I know," Spencer smiled, "I'm making a pot pie for dinner tonight. Does Skye have any food allergies or dislikes?"

"I dunno," Ashley mumbled, feeling bad about not knowing about her own daughter.

"You've got to tell her eventually you know."

"Yeah. I know. After Parker goes to bed."

"Okay. Do you want me to be there?"

"Yes," Ashley said definitely, "I don't just want you there, I need you there."

"You can do it Ashley. You're stronger than you think you are," Spencer gave her a reassuring hug.
