A/N: So this was the great debate, end the story with the last chapter or end it with this one. I guess I'll let the readers decide.

I hope you enjoyed reading up to this point. I know that I enjoyed combining my two favorite obsessions, Spashley and Halestorm, and I suspect that you have enjoyed the journey or else you wouldn't still be reading. This is officially the end and I hope that it was worth the wait!

Encore

One year after Spencer and Ashley reunite, Spencer was jealous.

The blonde tried not to grind her teeth or pull apart the chair she was sitting in. It had been nearly one year to the day that she and Ashley got back together. And even though the rock star had tried to warn her it was still hard for her to see.

Spencer heard the words as if they were being said to her all over again, but this time they were set to the music that made them a number one hit. Ashley was singing about not being an angel, her first taste, and falling from grace. All the while she flirted and smiled seductively at the girl dancing beside her.

As the chorus rang in Spencer's ears she watched a little red head wrap herself around her lover. The smaller girl brushed the brunette's curls aside and her lips danced up the rock stars neck. Blue eyes hardened when she realized that one of the red heads hands had found purchase in one of her lovers back pockets.

Ashley's fingers left her guitar and trailed seductively over the woman who moved in front of her, Spencer took a deep breath and looked away. She couldn't watch anymore.

As the song came to an end the blonde spared a glance back at her wife and saw Ashley's cocky grin. The blonde knew she was busted, she had sworn to Ashley that she wouldn't get jealous by the performance. The rock star had even tried to get her to watch the rehearsal so she could make changes if she wanted, but the blonde had held fast over the past year that she was not going to interfere with Ashley's career. So instead she watched it live tonight with a million other viewers and by their applause it was a good performance but she was still a little heated.

Even though the blonde trusted the little red headed dancer who she considered a good friend, she felt an overwhelming desire to tell Rhonda to keep her hands a little farther from her wife's assets next time. Judging by the look on Ashley's face, the rock star knew exactly what the blonde was thinking and Spencer looked away again. She knew she was being childish and had nothing to worry about. Ashley had been practically a saint when it over the past year when it came to her fierce loyalty to her wife. The blonde blew out a breath and tried to squash the little green monster inside.

As the house lights went off and then came back on, Spencer was too nervous to listen to the MC announce the Album of the Year Nominees. Ashley had already won for Best Song. 'I'm not an Angel' had been her first straight to number one single and already grabbed a Grammy, but Ashley's album had been nominated for the top award of the night and the blonde was so nervous she thought she'd be sick.

She jumped slightly when calloused fingers threaded threw hears, the blonde turned to see Ashley with an evil grin on her face. "Rhonda says she's skipping the after party until you cool off, something about laser's and holes in her back making her uncomfortable."

Spencer chuckled and was about to say something when Ashley's name was announced as a nominee. Spencer watched as Ashley turned and quickly winked into the camera and then turned back to her wife.

The brunette leaned in to her wife and whispered into her ear, "You seem a little flustered…guess that means you're ready to…do my dirty work."

Spencer swallowed as she looked around to make sure no one had heard. Even though it wasn't an obvious sexual statement, there was enough innuendo in the rock stars tone to make her meaning clear to anyone who over heard. Meeting Ashley's gaze she was about to speak when she vaguely registered her wife's name being called again. Within seconds they were both doused in spotlights and three camera men were converging on them.

Ashley looked stunned and speechless as she looked around her to see the standing ovation. Both women sat for a moment just staring at each other until finally realization dawned on Spencer and she pulled Ashley to her feet and nudged her toward the stairs. As the rock star approached the microphone a million thoughts swam through her mind. The usually confident cocky rocker was at a loss for words.

Standing in that spotlight all she could do was stare at her wife. She had no idea how she got this lucky, without realizing she had done it she whispered into the mic, "how did I get so lucky…" The sudden round of applause snapped her out of her trance and she looked out over the sea of people and suddenly found the clarity she needed to speak.

"First I have to thank my beautiful wife for all her love and support over the years, as you may know many of my songs have been written for or about her." Ashley paused for some applause and whistles and watched the camera's zoom to capture Spencer's reaction. "Secondly I have to thank the fans, not only have you made my musical dreams come true but you have also made some of my personal dreams some true."

Ashley turned and looked playfully into the camera, she knew if she looked at Spencer she would get tongue tied again. "You see I made a bet tonight with my wife. That if I didn't win this award I would get to spend the rest of the night with her doing all of my favorite...things." She paused to emphasize her air quotes and laughed and at the whistles and shouts this got from the crowd. "But if I did win this award she agreed to live up to a statement she made years ago," Ashley paused and collected herself before turning to Spencer, "three years ago you told me that when I became a multi-Grammy award winning artist…" Ashley's voice caught in her throat and tears gleamed in her eyes, Spencer smiled through her own tears and the brunette continued, "…you would have my baby."

Ashley could feel the air suck out of the room as everyone held their breath. Every camera in the place focused in on the blonde and caught the tears shining in her eyes. People literally stood on their chairs trying to get a better view. As the brunette watched she saw the faintest of nods and the crowd went crazy with applause and shouts.

"I love you!" Ashley shouted into the mic, "I love everyone, thank you!" Then she broke all protocol and jumped off the stage and raced into Spencer's arms. The brunette's hands found her wife's neck and her thumbs traced her jaw bone. "Really?"

Spencer let the tears stream as she nodded and lightly kissed her wife before pulling back to whisper, "Yes." The blonde was overwhelmed by the joy she felt in the arms of her lover, the journey she was on with Ashley just kept getting better and she said exactly what she was feeling, "Let's make a baby."

Ashley's mouth dropped open and she waited for the moment to register with her wife. Within seconds she saw the color flood to the blonde's cheeks and then her wife's face was buried in her neck and the brunette couldn't control the laugh that bubbled to the surface. She was so glad she decided to TiVo tonight's show, if the cameras picked up what the blonde said she was going to play it for the baby some day and maybe even her grandkids. The rock star smirked as she kissed the top of her wife's head and then turned to give a sassy wink into the closest camera. Squeezing the blonde as close as she possibly could Ashley leaned down and whispered into Spencer's ear, "I love you...more now than ever before. I agree, lets go home."
