59 - Baby Packs A Punch

Dylan's PoV

It was fun skating on Spencer's homemade ice rink. Lucas and I did it often.

But since Spencer and my mom were on a 'date', we were with Jaiden and her friend Eliza at a local skating rink in town.

Eliza didn't skate but she tried so that was cool.

"Come on Lize, put some more leg into it. You're taking baby steps!" Jaiden laughed and Lucas giggled.

Sometimes I felt weird not being able to like a girl. I really liked Jason. Jaiden told me a story about how much she crushed on Spencer when she was about my age.

I just really liked Jason.

"Dyl!" Lucas grabbed me and whirled me around on the ice before letting go and I made a complete sharp stop before hitting the boards. We both laughed and repeated the game.

It was fun.

"Why didn't you bring your hockey stick?" I asked Jaiden when we skated over to her and Eliza, who was trying to stay up on two feet.

"Your mom called me last minute, I spazzed." She shrugged with a smile. "Did you want to go get a stick? I might have one in the back of the car."

"I'll look for it!" Lucas was the first off the ice and I continued to skate around by myself. I wandered over to the other side of the rink and paid no attention to others around me.

The snow was falling and the lights on the houses around us were bright red and green, with blue and some gold. Christmas was two days away and it felt different that year around.

Mom and I would often go to the cabin in the mountains and have our own little dinner. She didn't have any friends when I thught about it. She kept up an appearance with my school and after school activities, but she never had any friends.

Yet she always seemed happy.

Not as happy as she was when she was with Spencer.

Spencer was the best. She took me in, treated me like I was her own daughter and then she fell back in love with my mom.

Maybe I'd never really had a perfect Christmas before.

Maybe Christmas was going to be better this time.

I was thrown out of my thoughts when I felt something hard hit the back of my thigh and turned around expecting to find Lucas chucking snowballs at me.

But it wasn't her.

Olivia Olsen. She was on another hockey team that lost every time we played them.

I hated her.

She was mean.

"What do you want?" I asked, trying to skate past her.

"Where's your little girlfriend?" Olivia's dark eyes gleamed at me and I scowled.

"Go away." I tried again and she pushed me back slightly.

"I asked you a question, twerp." Olivia started to circle me and I tried to skate past her but I was tripped by her foot.

"Hey!" I heard a sharp shrill and then saw Lucas skating towards us with a hockey stick in hand. Jaiden and Eliza were right behind her. "Back off, Olsen."

"Ou, girlfriend to the rescue." Olivia was Lucas' age only slightly bigger.

And by bigger, I mean slightly uh, fatter.

"Shut up moron, she's my sister!" Lucas threw her hockey stick down and went to shove the other girl, but Jaiden grabbed her arm. "Let go, Jai."

"Aww, if it isn't the other lesbos to the rescue." Olivia laughed wildly. "And how can she be your sister? Two women can't make a baby."

"Piss off." Jaiden said casually and I felt Eliza grab my hand. "Come on Dylan, let's go somewhere else."

"Little Dylan needs her lesbians to stick up for her. Your family is a disgusting disease."

I squared my jaw and wrenched my hand away from Eliza, skating so that I was a foot away from the girl who was picking on me and my family.

"Take that back!" Lucas roared and was right beside me, her fists clenching tightly by her sides.

"Come on girls," Jaiden said, trying to drag us back, "I do not need your parents yelling at me if you get hurt."

Olivia laughed and poked me in the shoulder. "Little lesbian Davies. Sounds good, don't you agree?"

"She's not a lesbian, you asshole." Lucas hissed.

"Seriously girls. Let's go." Jaiden said sternly. "Now."

"Better listen to her, dirty twerp." Olivia sneered.

"What is your problem? I was just skating here and I wasn't even bothering you!" I yelled and shoved Olivia harder than I planned. She lost her balance and fell on her butt. Lucas laughed and I swallowed hard because the mean girl got up and stared at me with fire in her eyes.

"You'll pay for that you little…" she lunged at me and I could see Lucas getting ready to body check her.

Instead, after I blinked and a piercing scream hit the air, I realized that my fist collided with her face and Olivia was on the ground crying, holding her nose.

"Dylan!" Lucas looked at me wide eyed but with a proud smile on her face. "You totally knocked her down!"

I looked at Jaiden, who inhaled deeply and shook her head, trying to hide a smile. "Come on," she bent over to try and help Olivia up but her hand was smacked away and the girl was off the ice faster than a speeding bullet. "Dylan, I didn't know you had it in you."

I blushed but frowned.

I was going to be in so much trouble when I got home.

At least I had a killer right hook.

Ashley's PoV

A soft giggle came from her lips as we snuggled underneath the covers on the couch, after watching two movies. I nuzzled her neck and mapped out the skin from underneath her jersey she had thrown on after our long hot shower together.

"That tickles," Spencer breathed as I continued to run my fingertips over her.

"I think this is nice," I whispered, watching as she turned the volume down on the TV, "me and you, just basking in the warmth and afterglow."

"No interruptions because knowing Jaiden, she'll have the girls occupied for hours." Spencer mused and I nodded.

"I have our bags packed." I confessed. I had them packed for a few days. "I'm anxiously excited."

"Anxiously excited, eh?" Spencer raised an eyebrow and grinned, kissing my forehead, bringing me closer to her body with her arms. "I am too."

Everything felt so peaceful. I glanced at the tree we had all decorated and we agreed that we'd spend Christmas at Spencer's. Even though I had my own house, being in Spencer's felt more like home.

Maybe because Spencer always was my home.

My place felt a little empty. Especially the nights Spencer didn't stay over.

"I didn't say it was the right thing to do!" The door flew open and there walked in four girls. Jaiden shut the door and shook off the fallen snowflakes. "Oh hey guys." She said sheepishly as they spotted us curled up on the couch.

"Have fun?" Spencer asked with a smile.

Lucas stripped out of her winter clothes, throwing her skates in the closet and bounced on my lap. "Dylan's in trouble but it was soooo worth it."

My eyes glanced towards my daughter and she swallowed, her eyes almost brimming with tears. "Baby Dyl, what's wrong?" I opened my arms and allowed her to crawl in next to us, Spencer wiping a fallen tear from her cheek.

"I'm grounded." She whispered, sniffling.

I looked up at Jaiden and Eliza for an explanation and Wynters smiled softly, sitting down in a chair and grabbing Eliza to sit with her. "Dylan was defending the Carlin-Davies name," she looked at my broken daughter, "she was being picked on by some girl calling her a lesbian."

My heart hurt as Dylan tucked her face into my neck. "I'm sorry."

"What happened baby?" I asked and watched as Spencer tapped Lucas to get off of me. I was guessing they were giving us our space. The other four went into the kitchen and I gazed at Dylan.

"Olivia Olsen wouldn't leave me alone. She tripped me when I tried to skate away. She called Lucas my girlfriend and then called me 'Little lesbian Davies' and she called me dirty!" Her voice cracked and she stared at me. "It's not true, Mommy!"

"I know, baby." I whispered and inhaled deeply. "Some kids are mean and cruel."

"I hit her." She confessed and I sat up, raising an eyebrow. "Lucas was going to check her but I kind of beat her to it."

"Where were Jaiden and Eliza?" I asked, slightly confused.

"Trying to drag us away but Olivia wouldn't shut up! She hurt my feelings." Dylan frowned and wiped her eyes. "But I hit her and that's wrong. So I grounded myself."

I had to smile and run my hands through her dark curly hair. "That was wrong of you Dylan and at least you realize that. I'm not mad but you should've just listened to Jaiden when she told you to go."

"I know." She muttered and wiped her eyes again, clearing the fresh tears that were building up. Dylan rarely cried when she was younger. It also hurt that she didn't ever want to talk about what had happened to her in other homes she was in. Not yet anyway. "Can I go?" She asked softly, looking up towards her own bedroom in the Carlin household.

"Did you make her cry?" I asked, curling my finger around on of her ringlets, looking into her deep brown eyes.

Dylan nodded and bit her lip.

"Good," I nodded and pulled her close to me, hugging her. "No more fighting, okay? Walking away is the only way to show strength. Everyone can act on impulse and hurt someone but it takes a stronger person to walk away."

"Okay," Dylan nodded, "promise."

"Love you Dyl," I smiled and she grinned back. "Spencer and I made some more cookies, you want some?"

"Okay!" She hoped off my lap and I stood up, only to find Spencer standing at the door staring at me with her loving gaze.

"You are remarkable." She whispered and kissed me softly.

"I learn from the best." I shrugged and bumped her shoulder with mine, lacing my fingers with hers, walking into the kitchen.

Next time in Points Underneath:

"It's like everyone grew up and moved on and I just kind of stayed here."

"What are you talking about, Alexis?" I frowned. "You're a rock star. You've got millions of women and men falling at your feet, enjoying your music. You're living the dream."

She snorted slightly and tiled her head, licking her lips. "What if I told you my dream from high school, turned out differently from the dream I have now?"
