Ashley's P.O.V

I was standing with Clay watching Winter when I saw Sawyer walking over with someone "Dr. Clay this is Dr. McCarthy" he introduced. "Oh, hey Dr." Clay greeted him shaking his hand. "What can I do for you?" he asked still shaking his hand. "Well I was under the impression I was here to do something for you" he answered. After he said that we all turned to Sawyer who looked guilty "I was afraid you'd say no."

We were standing at the platform while Dr. McCarthy bent over to check Winter's tail I was standing beside Sawyer looking at him "Alright". He began "Well, to begin with she just as smooth as a wet silk, but how would you keep the darn thing on her when there's nothing there? There's nothing to attaching into it's propitious anyway, try to put a tail at a fish" he finished with his hand on his hips. "Ah nobody in his right mind wouldn't even try it" and bended again "Luckily, I'm not" and continued examining her tail making us confused "Not what?" Sawyer asked him. "In my right mind". "So what does that mean? You.. You're gonna try?" Clay asked him. "Well" Dr. McCarthy stood back up "I've got some vacation time coming up" he said Clay nudged Sawyer happily "But I'm not making any promises" He continued lifting his finger at Clay and I saw Winter preparing to splash him "Dr. McCarthy" and just as I said that she splashed him Hazel gabbed while Clay tried not to laugh and Sawyer and I smiled apologetically "It mean's she likes you" I told him. "Well, imagine my delight" he answered me clearly annoyed. I walked him back to his car when he turned to face me "You must be Ashley then" he said smiling "Kyle told me about you". I couldn't help but chuckle "Well next time you see him tell him to pick the damm phone and call me". And we both laughed "I'll make sure to tell him, see you tomorrow".

The next day he came over and we started to work and plan the tail going thru everything with Dr. McCarthy and a few week's passed Kyle still wouldn't call and refused to talk to me and it broke my heart he kept pushing me away and I started showing a little and everyone noticed my mom wouldn't stop crying from happiness same thing with Alice and Lorraine every time I tried to tell Kyle he just wouldn't answer and I was starting to give up on telling him and I started to believe I was alone in this cuz hw wouldn't talk to me.

It was another day and we finished the prototype of the tail and high fived each other. "So Ashley, how are you?" Dr. McCarthy asked me "I'm good, you?" I asked back. "I'm good too". "How's Kyle?" I finally asked him putting a hand in my belly. "I take it that he hasn't called you" he said sighing. "Yeah.. He refuses to talk to me which makes it hard cuz I obviously have something very important to tell him" I answered him sadly. He finally realized when he saw where my hand was resting "Oh, I see how far along are you?" he asked "Well, right now the forth, but it will be the fifth soon, and I'll be able to know id it's a boy or girl" I told him smiling sadly. "I swear that boy needs a good slap" he said making me laugh "Make sure he gets it".

Dr. McCarthy P.O.V

Tell me what hurts more? Your leg or you're pride?" I asked Kyle and he thought about it for a few seconds "My whole life all I wanted was to do one thing" he answered. "Well now you just gonna want to do something else fortunately, there are about million things to choose from". He just shook his head not agreeing with me. "Look Kyle, just because you're hurt doesn't mean you're broken". Of course he didn't agree with me. "No, trust me I'm broken". "No" I told him and stood up and walked over to where there was an empty glass cup, picked it up and dropped it to the floor smashing it. "That's broken" I told him pointing my finger at the shattered glass and approached him "Go home Kyle, go home to your family and especially to that fiancé of yours you have no idea how much she need's you right now". But before I left I gave him a slap surprising him "What was that for?" he asked. "Ashley said to give you a good slap next time I see you and tell you to answer the damm phone".

Ashley's P.O.V

We were next to Winter's pool standing with Dr. McCarthy while he showed us what he made for Winter. "This is the same stuff we use for humans. It will protect the skin you just slide it … and then we put the prosthesis over that". He said handing it to Phoebe who took it. And then he opened another suitcase that held inside it something that resembled a tail "This something I cooked up from part's of an old Buick, it's a little stiff but it should work until the real part's are made." After he finished explaining to us we went to try it with Winter. Sawyer was inside with Winter Clay didn't want me to "risk" my baby so I sat next to Hazel watching them. Clay finished putting it on and we waited for her reaction. After a minute she started making sound which meant she didn't like it "She doesn't like it" Clay said after she started to make sound's. She swan over to the side and started banging against the wall knocking it off her tail. After she did she swam back to us but more in my direction with the metal on her head and made the Tweety sounds for me and everyone watched me I bent over and lifted it from her it was like she was saying sorry for breaking it.

A while later the news said that there was a hurricane coming by so we started to organize things running around but Clay told us to leave so I drove Sawyer home but he begged me to stay so I said yes and told my mom that I was staying with him Lorraine said It was fine too. We sat at the spot and waited for the storm to pass. The lights flickered a little and I felt Sawyer grabbing my hand "Mom?" he said panicking "It's ok honey, it's just a big storm, we'll be ok" she said reassuring him.

When we woke up the next day I drive us to the hospital and started helping clean the place. I was moving a few branches when Clay ran over and took them from me "It's not that heavy and I'm pregnant not invalid" I complained he only laughed "Exactly now go brush a few leaf's". I rolled my eyes and started look for a broom suddenly Sawyer ran over to me hugging me "What has gotten in to you" I asked him laughing he only grinned and took my hand "Look what the storm dragged" and started to pull me to a direction and stopped in front of the one person I wanted to see for months. He was clearly nervous I could see it in his face. We stood there for a while just looking at each other and Sawyer looking at us too. "Hey" Kyle finally said breaking the silence I went over to him and stood in front of him and slapped him and I heard Sawyer and the other's gasp and Reed laughing mumbling 'he deserved it'. "That's for not answering or calling to me". I told him and then I grabbed his face pulling him to a very long kiss filling me with a worm and tingling filling I could only feel with him when I pulled for air I whispered to him "And that's for finally coming home to me".

Sawyer and Kyle went over to Winter's pool with Winter waiting for them I was standing with Alice holding my hand watching them. After a light struggle Kyle succeeded to bent over to Winter and patted her nose she obviously noticed that there was something wrong with his leg cuz she went under and showed him his tale making him and Phoebe laugh. After that I drove home with Kyle we went inside and I dropped my keys on the counter and fell on the couch exhausted sighing deeply. I felt Kyle starting to massage my foot making me sigh again "I love you". He only chuckled "I know". He continued massaging me when he suddenly stopped. When I lifted my head I saw him deep in thought so I scooted over to him and putted my hand on his cheek cupping it "What are you thinking about?" I asked him. he turned to look at me "I'm so sorry about everything, I wanted to answer every time you called I just didn't know what to say and I left you and me alone in this situation and you have no idea how sorry I an for missing the first months" he answered with his voice breaking "You're here now and that's all that matters, and we'll get through this together". I reassured him "I love you so much" he whispered and kissed me.
