"Well what did he say?"

Ashley smiled at me before she walked over to me and pulled me into a loving hug. I accepted the hug easily and took in her scent. She always smells so wonderful. Why is she stalling on telling me. I mean it must be good news right because she is smiling right?

"Ash" I whined "tell me what he said please!"

"Fine Spence. He said that the restraining order is ready and we come by today to sign it and stuff."

"Ok that's great but what about the appeal thing?" I am so worried it will not go back to jail.

"That is a little more complicated"

"Like how. Please tell me its killing me waiting. I have to know."

"Ok I tell but please sit down first."

"Ok I'll sit down so tell me already." I walked over to the edge of our bed and sat down. I looked up at Ashley and blue eyes locked with brown ones. I could so get lost in her eyes and never turn back.

"He said that they contacted your mother because that is where the court listed your contact info"

"What? What about the emancipation and all that don't they have it on file or something?" I was seething that the only reason that man is out is because our court system screwed up. Go figure.

"Um the judge apparently wasn't given that information otherwise the appeal trial would of never happened like it did. Mr. Hilker also said he was going to file a contempt of court against your mother for not delivering the information to you."

"Wow... um... I don't know what to say. You mean she might go to jail now?"

"Yeah and they're probably going to rule Stan's appeal a miss trial, which means he will be sent back to prison until his next appeal."

I can't believe how my life has went from complete utter bottom of the barrel lows to soaring on cloud nine the next. I mean my mom is going to pay, and Stan is going to go back to prison where he will hopefully stay for a long time.

"Spence! Spence!" Ashley is waving her hand in front of me. I guess I zoned out for longer than I thought.

"Un...what... sorry I was just thinking how good everything is right now. I want it to last forever if it can." I smiled at her.

"Me too" God I love her smile.

I stood up and walked over to her and gave a sweet loving kiss. "I love you Ashley Davies"

"I love you too Spencer Carlin" she pulled me closer to her enjoying each others warmth.

"We should get dressed and head to Mr. Hilker's office"

"I know. I know I just like being here with you."

We got dressed and made our way to his office downtown. We signed the papers, and he made copies for us and forwarded them the police station.

"That's everything for right now ladies. I should now more about the trials coming up soon, so I will be in touch ok" he smiled at us and shook our hands bye.

We left his office and headed for home. On the way though Ash said she was hungry so we stopped at our favorite burger place which happens to Angels Diner. It's the older place in town that is still standing after the fires. The old cable car was converted in 1932 to a restaurant. They have the best burgers in town and drink call the pusalow which I love. We finished eating and drove on back when we got there was two people waiting for us on the front porch. We got of the car and made our way to them hand and hand.

"Hey what are you doing here?" I asked

"We wanted to say we where sorry. We didn't know about the appeal or we would of told you"

"It's ok hopefully it'll all work out in the end" I smiled, and Ashley and I gave both of them hugs.

"Why don't ya'll come in, and we will have a sleepover or something."

"That would be great thanks" They both said in unison.

We all went inside. I had a wonderful night with my love Ashley and both my sisters. This day could not be any better. This is truly the best day of my life so far, and I hope there will be many more to come.
