Takes place right after amy leaves for New York
George walked into Ashley's room with every intention of telling her to stay in there for the next month, while Ricky was staying in the Jergen household. He found Ashley sitting on her bed, staring at her phone as usual.
"hey, Ashley" he said in a very light hearted tone.
"Dad" said Ashley in her monotonic voice. Not even looking up, she knew what this conversation was leading to.
"So" George started. "How do you feel now that your sisters gone?"
"This is a good opportunity for Amy. I hope she has a lot of fun." Ashley purposely avoided the question. She was elated with her sister being gone. Now, she wouldn't her to worry about Amy finding out that Adrian is pregnant. Knowing Adrian, Amy will never have to know. That will save her and Ben a lot of trouble.
"you know Ricky's gonna be staying with us for a while." Ashley resisted temptation to look up. "I want you to stay away from Ricky. Ricky is bad news." This time Ashley did look up, and rolled her eyes.
"Ricky and I are friends dad."
"yeah" says a skeptical George. "well. Keep it that way."
Later after Ricky's first dinner as part of the Jergen household, Ashley begins to put away the dishes as Ricky feeds John at the table.
Stupidly Ashely picks a fight with Ricky about Zoe, Ricky's new love interest. Ashley didn't expect it to amount to much, until Ricky called her jealous. Later on in her room, Ashley stared at her phone. She pondered what was next. After that fight Grant had come over, because she was giving him another try. She was genuinely doing so, not just in spite of Ricky, and Griffin's accusation of her actually liking him. As she pondered what was next for her and Grant, she desperately tried to get over the fact that Grant looked like somewhat of a mental patient. He was acting like one too, with all this school transfer business. But no, she had to somehow, find a way to make things work with grant. She went to bed that night with a silent determination to not be repulsed by Grant the next time they saw each other.
Ricky put John in his cradle as gently as he possibly could. Not wanting to wake him, after the battle it was to put him asleep. He stared at his son, lovingly. His little cheeks were pink. His little hands were in a ball. And his little feet were in their socks. He couldn't help but smile. As he feel asleep on the bed, he suddenly felt very weird. It was amy's bed that he was sleeping in. he couldn't help but feel a little antsy. He tried to sleep on to for but it was hard wood. Not exactly the best place for sleeping. He suddenly recalled that Ashley's garage room had a carpet, and a bean bag. He remembered when the went out furniture looking. He silently exited the room, quickly thinking about taking John for a moment. Once again he o so gently took john out. And made his way to Ashley's room, it wasn't a surprise that Ashley wasn't sleeping but just staring at her ceiling. That was good, she could probably see them at the door and he would have to move John so he could knock. She opened the door, with no curiosity on her face. She just looked bored as usual.
"What do you want" She questioned.
" Hey ash, do you mind if we switched rooms while I was here? Cuz, sleeping in Amy's beds is kind of weird, and her floor isn't all that comfortable."
Seeing his point, Ashley looked down at her fluffy beige carpet.
"I understand your predicament, but I really wouldn't want to sleep in Amy's bed either."
Thinking quickly Ricky motioned for Ashley to take John, which she did.
"That's ok, I guess. I just wanna sleep on your floor so you can stay. I'll just bring down his crib."
Without argument, all Ashley could do is hold John until Ricky came back. She smiled at the thought of what her dad would say when he saw them sleeping in the same room.
Ricky came back hauling the large crib. And put it down in the middle of Ashley's large room. Wordlessly he took John and placed him in it. Afterwards he sat down. Knowing this was going to be awkward.
Ashley stared down at Ricky. Sitting on her carpet staring at her
"do you plan on staring at me all night, or are you going to pass me some pillows." Ricky said. She reached behind her and pulled a pillow.
After setting up his "bed". Ricky walked over to the door and closed it, with conviction. Then turned off the light.
Each retuned to their designated sleeping areas. Each knowing that much sleeping wasn't going to go on.
