"Hey I got everyone ice cream!" Kyla announced happily, walking into the living room with her hands full.
"Kyla!" Ashley said loudly jumping off the floor. "Can you watch the kids for a little bit while I go upstairs and talk with Spencer?"
Kyla looked a little shocked and she looked at her watch doing a double take.
"It's only 10:30 and she's home already!" She exclaimed. Ashley nodded her head and raised her eyebrows waiting for Kyla to answer.
"Well…?" Ashley asked.
"Yeah, of course!" Kyla stated as she motioned Ashley away.
Ashley didn't need to be told twice as she quickly walked away and ran up the stairs. She did, however, stop dead in her tracks when she reached the door of what used to bed the bedroom she shared with Spencer. The room Spencer now referred to as just her own.
Ashley put her ear to the door to try and hear Spencer, but was unlucky as she remember the wood was sound proof.
Ashley's sweaty hand cover the cold metal door knob and twisted it to the right slowly. She pushed open to revel Spencer sitting at the edge of the bed with her head in her hands.
"Spence, I'm here." Ashley said uncertainly as she shut the door behind her and walk towards her.
Spencer lifted her head to revel a tear stained face towards Ashley. Hastily she stood up and looked Ashley square in the eyes with her arms now crossed against her chest.
"What are you doing here?" Spencer asked harshly. Ashley's mouth went dry instantly and she gulped.
"I came to see you and the kids." Ashley replied weakly. She took a nervous step forward but felt really hurt when Spencer noticed and took a step back.
"You just going to mess them up, Ashley!" Spencer yelled. "How do you think Justin and Raife will feel if they see you one day and then not see you again for months!"
"I don't plan on going anywhere, Spence." Said Ashley timidly.
"Won't your girlfriend get jealous?" Spencer spat at her bitterly. Ashley furrowed her eyebrows.
"What?" She questioned bewildered that Spencer would even think that she would do something like that in her right state of mind.
"Don't play dumb, Ashley, you know who I'm talking about!"
Ashley shook her head 'no' at Spencer and said, "Honey, I seriously have no clue what you're talking about!"
"First of all, don't call me honey!" Spencer said. "Second, I'm talking about the woman you had the nerve to bring into this house and fuck! The one you said you were living with and the one you said you loved!"
Ashley faltered at her words. She knew who Spencer was talking about but didn't remember doing or saying the things Spencer said she had.
"I- I honestly don't remember half of the shit I did, Spence." Ashley said pleadingly. "You have to believe me when I say that I would never intention hurt you."
Spencer shook her head in confusion and tore her eyes away from Ashley and instead focused on the wedding ring Ashley still had her finger. She began to cry again.
"Do you know just how much you've hurt me!" Spencer demanded through her tears, making Ashley want to cry.
"Yeah-" Ashley began but was cut off.
"No you don't!" Spencer said sadly. "I was this big fat emotional wreak after Justin was born and you were the only thing that kept me sane. Even my post partum depression didn't seen half as bad when I was around you."
Spencer paused to catch her breath and calm herself down a bit.
"And when you go and turn all of my insecurities about our relationship into a reality.." Spencer paused again. "It felt like you were literally crushing me."
Tears now began to fall down Ashley's face.
"I know it doesn't make any difference but I'm so very sorry." Ashley croaked out.
Ashley quickly filled the space in between them and embraced Spencer into a tight hug.
"I love you so much." Ashley whispered into her wife's ear. Spencer felt the hot breath tingle all the way down her spine and held Ashley even closer.
