I KNOW I HAVE NOT UPDATED THIS STORY IN OVER A YEAR, BUT I COULD NOT FIND MY BEAT TO IT. IF YOU READERS ARE STILL READING IT I WILL UPDATE ONCE A WEEK.

Ashley

As I walked with Stef to meet her kids I was a little nervous. Just out of the blue this woman comes along out of nowhere and offers me a place to stay. A part of me should be worried and I was but this woman did not look dangerous and for some reason I felt safe with her. While walking with her I found myself staring at her. She had these strong features about her that a normal woman I met in the past did not have, but I guess her being a cop she had to be and look strong. But I knew she had to have a heart as well, with her letting a stranger live with her.

We reached the gift shop and she walked towards a group of teenagers who looked like they were arguing. I looked at Stef and she was rolling her eyes. And I couldn't help but smile inside about her.

"Excuse my kids they tend to argue," she said turning around to me before she went to them in the corner of the gift shop.

"Why can't I take you kids anywhere without all of the bickering," Stef said to them. "And we are in a hospital this is definitely not the time or the place."

"Well tell Mariana to lose her attitude and the world does not revolve around her," the Latino boy said to Stef and the Latina girl glared at him with her arms crossed in front of her like she wanted to kill him.

"You are such a liar,"she said to him.

"I am not just get your head out of your ass and…"

"Ok enough," Stef said to them sternly. "We will talk about this later on you two, but for now you two are grounded for the rest of the weekend, hand over the phones," Stef said to them.

"But mom.."

"NOW," Stef said interrupting them before pleading there case. The two teenagers handed over there phones to her and they looked even more mad then before.

"Now go purchase whatever you are going to get your sister and let's go back to mama we have to talk to you about something.

"Who is this mom," the youngest boy asked Stef.

"This is Ashley but we will talk more upstairs now let's go," Stef said ushering everybody out of the gift shop. And I waved at the young boy and he waved back kind of shyly.

After the bunch purchased their gift, which was a lot of ballons and a giant teddy bear with a flower and a card attached to it, we went up to the maternity ward and we went to her wife's room and she laying down on her phone.

"Hey babies, everything okay." The dark skinned woman asked her family I guess she could tell there was tension between the kids that were arguing.

"Yes, everything is fine, just the twins bickering as usual, but I would love for you to meet Ashley, Ashley this is my wife Lena."

As I walked to the woman to greet her I noticed how beautiful she looked. Her skin was the perfect shade of caramel. I could tell she had a head full of curls even though it was tied up on top of head. And by the shape of her neck and collar bone I could tell she was a woman with a tiny frame.

"Nice too meet you Ashley," Lena said to me. "I would get up and hug you but I am still sore."

"Oh I understand and it is nice to meet you too Lena," I said walking to her shaking her hand.

As I was being formally introduced to Lena, the Latina girl went over and grabbed the baby out of the bassinet and I couldn't help but be in complete awe of her. She looked just like Lena with chubby cheeks that you could just kiss and suck on for hours and she looked like she was everything a person could want in a baby. I knew this because she looked exactly like my baby Heather. Her father had the same complexion as Lena and had curly hair as well. For some reason it felt like my baby Heather just transformed her spirits into this baby and all I wanted to do was cry.

"Everything okay Ashley," Stef asked me.

"Of course, so who is everyone else," I asked her to get the attention off of me but I only wanted to get to know the baby that the teenager was holding.

Stef introduced me to her kids, and then she finally introduced me to the baby.

"And this here is Francesca but we call her Frankie for short," Stef said taking her from Mariana's arms.

"The baby is gorgeous; she looks just like you Lena." I said to her, and Lena just smiled at me and then over to her wife holding the baby.

"So everyone your mom and I already discussed this but we want to get your opinions too," Stef said sitting down next to Lena.

"Ashley just lost her baby, she was in a bad relationship and right now is In a bind. I saw her outside crying and I went over to ask her if everything was ok and she told me she has nowhere to go at the moment. So I offered her a place to stay with us temporarily until she finds her own place. She is 19 so this is only temporarily until she could get back on her feet. Is that ok with everyone."

"Where is she going to sleep," Jesus asked Stef.

"On the couch for the time being but I am going to need you guys help Jesus and Brandon, Jude too in helping clear a small space in the garage. Your mom and I are going to be busy with Frankie so I want this to be a small project for all of you to do."

"It's okay if she stays, we are just going to be extra crowded," Callie said.

"Oh don't worry about me you will never know that I am here. I just mostly write in my journal all the time and watch cupcake wars whenever it comes on TV," I said to them and Stef gave me a small smile.

"Well is it okay if she stays, I know space is going to be tight but we can make it work."

They all looked at me and nodded yes to their moms. And I smiled back to them and they all started to talk amongst themselves and I looked right at Stef who grabbed Frankie from Lena's arms and I couldn't help but smile at the two. I definitely had my eye on the pair.
