free21 - Here's what happens when Ash tells Skye who her father is...
Skye came out of the bedroom with a towel over her head.
"Skye!" Ashley jumped, she couldn't put this off, "I know who your father is" she blurted out quickly.
"What?" Skye squinted at Ashley.
"Spencer's your aunt," Ashley was still talking quickly.
"What?" Skye repeated.
"My brother Glen is your dad," Spencer clarified, "He took advantage of Ashley the night we graduated and I broke up with her."
Skye sat on the couch, and remained silent.
"I had a nightmare a month or two ago about Glen getting on top of me, so I saw a therapist. She hypnotized me and said that I was probably right. I used the DNA sample we used to make sure you were really my daughter to make sure. He doesn't know yet."
"Holy Shit," Skye muttered.
Ashley and Spencer stared at Skye, not knowing what to say next.
Spencer decided to break the silence, "So, I found an apartment for you. $200 a month with a $150 deposit."
"Wow, how'd you get a deal like that? And at this time of night?"
"We've both dated our landlord," Spencer said simply. Upon seeing the look of shock on Skye's face, she added, "In high school, and not at the same time."
"Me more seriously than Spencer. I slept with him before I realized I was gay."
"He's a total softy," Spencer added.
"Well, that's great."
"So..." Ashley muttered.
"Yeah?"
"What are we going to do now?"
"I dunno."
"Shouldn't you tell Glen?" Spencer asked.
"That would be a good thing," Ashley sighed, "You wanna call him Spence?"
"Its really your call to make hun. I can dial, but you have to talk."
"Fine," Ashley pouted as Spencer dialed.
"Here," Spencer said abruptly as she shoved the phone at Ashley.
Ashley gasped as Glen's wife answered the phone, "Hi," Ashley replied, "Is Glen around?" pause, "This is Ashley, Spencer's girlfriend," another pause, "Oh, no Spence is fine. I just really have to talk to him," his wife finally agreed and Glen got on the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Glen, its Ashley."
"Hey, what's up?"
"Glen," she took a deep breath, "we had a child, a girl. I put her up for adoption. She found me. Skye she--" before she could say more, Glen had hung up on her.
"Well that could have gone better," Skye remarked.
"Yeah, well he isn't really the nicest Carlin," Spencer noted.
"Bottom two. No doubt," Ashley added.
"You know, dad would probably take this a whole lot better than Glen," Spencer thought outloud, "He used to be a social worker," she added for Skye's benefit.
"Want to call?" Ashley asked, looking at Spencer, then to Skye then back to Spencer.
"I'll call," Spencer offered, "And talk to him."
"Great."
Spencer called, "Hey dad."
"Hey Spence. What's up? How are you and Ashley?"
"We're fine. But there is something weird going on over here."
"Oh yeah? What?"
"Well, Ashley's daughter is--"
"Ashley has a daughter?"
"Yeah and she's--"
"How old?"
"20. She's pregnant. Her adoptive parents cut her off on the day that Ashley found out who Skye's dad is."
Mr. Carlin sensed Spencer was omitting a detail, "Who's that?"
"Glen. We called him, told him, he hung up."
"I'll be right there," he said. Then he hung up.
