Chapter 14

Ashley

I spotted Spencer sitting in the grass on the hill watching Riley play. Riley was running all over the playground, it was like she couldn't decide what she wanted to do first. I got out of my car, putting my hat on. Sometime people recognized me, and I hated when they came to ask me questions while I was with my family. I loved my fans, but there is a place and time for them.

"Hey Spencer" I said taking a seat next to her, bringing my knees to my chest.

"Hey how are you?" I waved at Riley, when I heard her call at me.

"I'm good, my mother stopped by today" I didn't have to look to see the shock on her face.

"What did she want?" I pulled out the paper, and handed it to her. I let her read it before I responded.

"She is giving everyone money. I guess she grew a heart."

"Did she say what happen?"

"She took a case that hurt her. It was a mother who burned bridges with everyone. My mother was the only person at her funeral" Spencer nodded, giving back the paper.

"She is a lawyer again?"

"Ya, she own her own law firm now"

"I see. Well her grand kids will love her for the money. It does sadden me that Riley won't know her grandmother" I looked over at Riley making friends.

"She does want to see Riley. I thought maybe you and I could think about it. I don't fully trust my mother, but if she is will to try so am I" Spencer grabbed my hand, stroking her thumb over my hand.

"Ash if you are ready to take a step towards fixing things with your mother I am all for it. I think that maybe you should build that trust with her, then bring Riley in. I don't want Riley to attached to someone, who I know has burn her mother in the past. I saw the pain your mother has caused you, and I don't want that for Riley"

"I agree with you Spence, I guess I could start by having lunches with her or something." We sat there watching Riley. My hand was still in Spencer's, and I didn't want it anywhere else.

"Mommy stop!"

"Someone is ticklish" Riley said smiling, and laughing.

"MA help me!" We looked over at Spencer sitting on the couch, just smirking.

"Your on your own kiddo, you shouldn't of provoked your mom" she said smiling.

"Mommy okay okay" I stopped.

"You promise you won't poke me again?" my daughter smiled, then nodded her head.

"Yes"

"Okay, now go get ready for bed sweetheart" I said lifting her up, kissing her cheek.

"Oh come on! I want to stay up and watch movies with you guys!" I laughed at the pout she was giving me, Spencer had the same one on her face.

"Fine, but at lease go ready. You know you are just going to fall asleep soon as you get on that couch"

"Yes, but you will carry me to bed right mommy?"

"Of course sweetheart" She kissed my cheek, running off towards the bathroom.

After the park, we grabbed some dinner then ended back at Spencer's. Riley begged us to watch a movie together, but she was too busy poking me that she forgot about what she originally wanted to do. Spencer had changed into comfy clothes, and had settled on her couch with a blanket. I walked over taking a seat next to her, leaning my shoulder on her.

"That kid is fully of unending energy"

"She is a child, what do you expect?"

"When does she start school again?" Spencer laughed, taking my hand again. She had been doing it all day, I wasn't complaining.

"Soon, but you and I both know it hurts to see her gone all day" I nodded.

"She is growing up way to fast, I feel like I've missed so much." I felt Spencer hand tightened around mine, and her kissing my head.

"Don't think about that okay, you were always there for our daughter. You didn't miss anything. Every big moment you were there, and I thank you for that" I looked up at her, her eyes were that blue that I loved.

"Thank you" I looked down at her lips, then back at her eyes.

"No reason to thank me, you are a great mother. You always put her first, and she will remember that. Plus you are ending your career for her too" I smiled, reaching up running my fingers through her hair.

"I miss you Spencer, I miss us" Spencer ran her nose against my cheek, and I turned my head to place my lips on hers.

"I'm ready!" with a thud Riley jumped onto my lap, not letting me kiss her mother. Spencer pouted, and smiled. Wrapping her arms around our daughter, and I reached over pressing play.
