Ok, I have more to this chapter but I wanted to get what I had out.
Chapter 9
Ashley's POV
I wake up and smell deliciousness coming from the other room. I turn over on my side and notice that I am all-alone. I rubbed my eyes and tried to situated with my surroundings. I realize that the intoxicating smell that is wafting in my nostrils must be Spencer making breakfast. I wander into the kitchen and see Joshua standing on a stool next to Spencer watching as she teaches him how to make pancakes. I clear my throat and it gets Josh's attention, "MOMMY!!" He jumps down and barrels towards me. I pick him up and smother him with kisses. "Uh huh," nodding his head yes, "me and Spencew are making you bweatfist in bwed."
"Awww, baby that is so sweet." Spencer turns around and she looks just beautiful with her hair in a messy bun and a small mark of flour on her nose. "Good Morning, Spence." She flashes me a huge smile and I swear when she looks at me her eyes sparkle and my heart swoons. I walk over to her and brush off the flour she had on her face with my thumb. I look deeply into her eyes and my stomach feels like I'm on a roller coaster. "You are soooo beautiful." She blushes.
"Thanks, go back into bed, let Josh and I finish making you your breakfast and we will be there in a minute." She gives me a quick kiss on the cheek.
I walk back to her bedroom and I snuggle up under the covers. I inhale the amazing scent of her sheets; it's a sweet mix of Spencer's perfume, Design, and fresh laundry. It's intoxicating. Within a few minutes, I am shaken by a jumping 3 year old, "Bweatfist is weady, mommy."
Spencer walks through the door with a tray, she is so beautiful. I realize that she has changed, she looks a bit older now but there is a presence to her that wasn't there when we were young. "Josh, why don't you sit between your mom and me while she eats. I'll put on cartoons."
"Pinch me Spence, breakfast in bed, with my son, a hot girl, and cartoons… I've died and gone to heaven." I bite into the fresh strawberries she gave me, "Mmmm, these are delicious, try one Spencer," I pick one up and feed her it and is it just me or did her tongue linger on my fingertips. God that was hot. I start to blush.
I finish up with what might be the best pancakes I have ever had in my life. I pick up my coffee from the tray, place it on the nightstand, and put the tray on the floor. Josh is so engrossed in the cartoons that he doesn't even notice my tickle attack until it is too late. "Mommy!!" he screams through fits of laughter, "that tickles. Spencew help." Uh huh… before I know it I'm being attacked and I'm laughing so hard I think I farted.
"Spence, Josh… please I can't handle it anymore," and as quickly as the tickling started it ceased. I see Spencer yawn and know that she much be tired after waking up so early and cooking me this amazing breakfast. I nudge her to let her know it would be okay to take a nap and I pull the blankets up to cover us all. Josh is lying between us and I reach over and grab her hand and lace our fingers together. "Thank you for making me breakfast, this is too good to be true."
"Ash, I wanted to make you breakfast, besides we have a big night ahead of us and a lot to deal with." Fuck, I almost forgot that Glen was my baby's daddy. I can't believe it. I have so many emotions going through me right now and I don't know what to feel. Should I be happy, mad, sad, or what? What is the appropriate response to this situation?
We all fall asleep and wake up an hour later. Okay, it's time to face the day.
