Spencer gently opened the door and the bell attached to it rang causing Carmen to look up from her drink.

"Hey Spence." She called her over. Spencer smiled and walked over to the table she had reserved and sat down.

"Carmen did you see the papers?" Spencer asked timidly.

Carmen's eyes narrowed and she nodded her head.

"Yeah I did." She said with anger. "Spencer, I'm sorry. I know you didn't want anyone to find out so soon."

Spencer shook her head and picked up the menu in front of her.

"It's not your fault." She replied.

"You promise you'll write, Ash?" Faith asked Ashley as she was stepping in her car.

"Yes, Faith!" Ashley said. She stepped out of her car one more time to give her friend a hug and then got back in.

Ashley drove for 20 minutes and finally pulled up into the drive-way of the mansion that she and Spencer lived in.

She felt queasy and extremely nervous as she walked up the stairs to the house, shaking. Should she knock or just walk in? She decided against just walking in and rang the door the door bell, stepped back, and waited for her wife to answer the door.

"Ashley!" Kyla exclaimed as she opened the door with baby Raife laying on he shoulder.

"Hey." Ashley greeted her but was really looking at the baby in her arms. Kyla noticed looked down at Raife then back up at Ashley.

"Do you want to come in?" Kyla asked moving out of the doorway so Ashley could walk in.

"Yeah." Ashley replied and stepped into the familiar hallway.

"Let's go in the living room with Justin." Kyla said leading the way to the living room.

Ashley followed behind her in a daze and stared at everything as it passed with a huge smile. She was finally home.

"Justin, look who's here!" Kyla called to the young boy, who was playing with his toy cars on the floor. Justin looked up and his eyes instantly widened.

"Mommy!" He screamed and rushed to tackle her legs. Ashley bent over and embraced him tightly.

"Hey, baby." She whispered and kissed his cheek. Justin finally pulled back from the hug and Ashley, who was still on her knees, held him at arms length to get a good look at him.

"Oh my goodness, you've gotten big!" She exclaimed as she ruffled his hair.

"Where you been?" Justin asked. Ashley's smile faltered but she forced it to stay upon her face in front of her son.

"Mommy was sick so she had to go to a hospital to get better." She explained. She stood up from her kneeling position and stood directly in front of Kyla.

"Can I hold him?" She asked while motioning towards Raife.

"Of course!" Kyla said and genially moved the baby from her own arms to her sisters. Ashley looked down upon the baby she hadn't seen since he was a week old and marveled at how much he had also grown.

Ashley's legs felt weak so she sat down next to Justin on the floor with Raife cradled in her arms.

"I missed you guys so much." She whispered.

Kyla shifted uncomfortable where she stood and glanced at the clock.

"Ashley how about you spend some time with the boys by yourself and I'll go pick up some ice cream for all of us." Kyla suggested.

Ashley broke her gaze from her children and looked up at her sister.

"That sounds good."
