You're leaving? (A 1x1 with Lexxy)

[isax]

Rylan walked down when he smelled food and smiled at his dad. "Hey. I was starting to pack. Are you gunna need help with packing since I won't be going to school for two more days?" He said and laughed softly.

 

[Lexus]

"Maybe," Clay says looking away from the frying pan that had the sizzling bacon in it and turned to his son. "Someone's birthday is coming up." Clay pointed out with a smile. "Do you know what you want?"

 

[isax]

"My mom." Rylan said as he sighed and sat down the the island and put his head down. After all that happened with Daren it made him continue thinking of his mom. He knew she wasn't here and it sucked. After awhile, he sighed and looked up at his dad again. "Anyways, nothing really. Maybe a new bat but that's about it." He told him honestly. He wasn't like Allie who wanted a hundred things and more.

Clay looked at his son sympathetically. "I'm sorry, that's the one thing I can't give you even though I wish I could." He says with a slanted smile and bringing him into a one armed hug.

 

[isax]

Rylan sighed and nodded. "Yeah I know." He said and then looked a away. "You think she'll come see me dad?" He asked. He was turning 15. He really wished he could see his mom on his birthday.

 

[Lexus]

"Maybe." He have his son a warm smile before turning back to their breakfast and playing it. He made pancakes, eggs, bacon and sausage. He had dropped a piece and looked down. He sighs and picked it up to throw it away. "It's so strange not to have Candy around." He admits, recently they had to put her down because she was getting old and got sick.

 

[isax]

"I know.... Don't remind me. Yet another best friend I lost." Rylan said as he sighed and got up. "I'm not hungry. I'll be in my room." Rylan said and went up to his room and closed his door as he began to cry. He couldn't do this. Why was it so hard to accept his mom was gone? He knew this but it was hitting him harder then it ever did before.

 

[Lexus]

(Ashley should totally come back. [emoji2])


Clay sighed and gave Rylan a few minutes along before he headed up the stairs. He knew this would only be a reoccurring nightmare for his son as he got older just like it was for him. Clay opened the door and sat on the floor in silence as Rylan gravitated towards him he took him in his arms.

 

[isax]

(I know. How could we possibly do that though? [emoji15])


Rylan cried with his dad on his chest. He hated this. Not having his mother. It sucked entirely. He missed her a lot and growing up he knew he would only be able to say he spent 7 years her. 7 wonderful years.

 

[Lexus]

(I don't know.[emoji33])


Clay didn't say anything, there was nothing he could say right now to make it better, he knew that. He just held his son close. It hurt Clay to see his kids constantly in this much pain but he knew there was only so much he could do to try and make things better but it would never be the same and for that he felt guilty.

 

[isax]

(We could say she wasn't dead just in a coma and this was all a dream....? I mean the kids would be the age they are now but Ash was just in a coma for that long.....? I don't know. [emoji33])


"It's not your fault dad so don't feel bad." Rylan whispered as he continued to cry and then all of a sudden, he looked at his dad and sighed. "I just miss her but I'll be fine." He told him then smiled a weak smile.

 

[Lexus]

(That's a long time to be in a coma.. Hmmm.. I really don't know unless one of them just dreams it like they did before [emoji23])


"I know, I miss her too." He says releasing his tight grip on his son. It was just easier for Clay to hide just how much he constantly missed her was all.

 

[isax]

(Well you can be in a coma for that long.. We could have Ashley just dream it all. Like maybe she can be sick still but this dream made her realize keeping it from her family is wrong and that's when they find a way to help her.?)


"We all do." Rylan said with a sigh and stayed looking at the ground. He wanted his mother back. He hated her not being here. He looked at Clay and then sighed. "I know she would want us to stop crying." He said and laughed softly.

 

[Lexus]

(Okay ^~^)


Clay nodded and pushed back his tears that threatened to roll down his cheeks. Getting up from the floor he looked down at his son with a smile. "Come on there are things to be done."

 

[isax]

(So now?)


And like that Ashley sat up and looked around the room. She felt her husbands hand in hers and tried to calm herself down. What kind if dream was that? Now she knew she needed to tell her husband and family what she had been keeping a secret. She sighed and tried to catch her breath.

 

[Lexus]

(Yupp)


Clay awoke the best morning before her but didn't get up. He just watched her sleep and smiled. She looked so peaceful. He had no idea she was hiding something. Leaning over he kissed her softly on the lips and smiled when he pulled away he started to play with her hair.

 

[isax]

When Ashley felt her husbands lips on hers, she slowly opened her eyes and smiled. The kids eventually came over to the room to wake them up. Ashley slowly got up and sighed. She needed to tell them. She stood up and looked at her family that was sitting on the bed with their dad in confusion. "I'll be back. I need to tell you guys something." She told them then went to go get the papers from the library.


(How old are the kids.)

 

[Lexus]

(Which would be easier?)


When the kids came up he looked over to his wife in confusion. He could tell by the sound of her voice it wasn't good news. He felt his stomach begin to churn as she walked away but kept a smile for the kids.

 

[isax]

(Maybe how old they were just a few moments ago so like Rylan 14 and the twins 12?)


When Ashley came back, she had papers in her hands. She looked at the kids with sympathetic eyes and said, "Kids can y'all go wait in the living room for breakfast?" Rylan refused to go. The twins too. "No mom. What do you have to tell us?" Rylan said and Ashley sighed. "I'm sick.... What I mean by that is my left lung is slowly shutting down. I was going to keep this a secret from you guys but I can't.... I don't know how much time I have left." At those words, Rylan went wide eyed and began to cry. The twins did too but Rylan was upset his mother would try to keep that a secret. Rylan got up and went to his room and the twins followed after. It was just Ashley and Clay now and she looked at him with apologetic eyes. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys the minute I found out." She whispered with tears in her eyes.

 

[Lexus]

Through this whole process Clay just stayed silent. He knew he heard her right but he didn't want to believe it. When they were alone and she spoke he wanted to be just as angry as Rylan but he couldn't. Not when he saw that look of guilt in her eyes. Sitting up from the bed he just walked over to her and took her into his arms as he buried his face into her neck for a moment. There were tears in his eyes but he pushed them away. She needed him to be there for her and he knew why she did what she did. "It's okay." He whispers, his voice cracking as he looked at her, "Just tell me what you need and I'll get it for you, it'll be okay." He repeated taking her in his arms again. He couldn't lose her, he couldn't.

 

[isax]

"You don't know that for sure Clay..." Ashley whispered as she hugged her husband tight and began to cry. "Clay what are we going to do?" She whispered and then began to cry. She didn't know what they could do. "Clay I'm scared.... I had a dream last night.... I died and I saw what the kids had to live with and you.... It was unbearable Clay. I don't want them to ever live like that. I don't want any if you to get that look like all hope is lost. I want to stay with you guys but I don't know what we can do...." Ashley whispered and continued t cry.

 

[Lexus]

"Shhh love." He whispers calmly stroking her hair to get her to calm down. When she finally was he pulled up her chin to look at him. "Listen to me," His voice was soft and gently. "I will make sure anything humanely possible will be done. You have to understand that." When she nodded in understanding he continued. "But you have to talk to me and tell me what's already been done." He was serious in his comments he would do anything, whatever it was if it would help her he would do if.

 

[isax]

Ashley looked at her husband and sighed. "They made my inhaler a higher dosage again. I've taken steroids to help strengthen the lung but it isn't working. I also tried to find a transplant but Mallory couldn't find me a match...." Ashley said as she sighed. "Clay what if there isn't anything I can do? What if this is finally it and I die?" She asked him as tears continued to fall.

 

[Lexus]

"Well, first things first, Mrs. Waters you have to change your attitude about this or there's no point, you have to remain strong, that should come natural though, your a Waters." He says with a smile. He wasn't going to give up. She needed him to be her cheerleader and that's what he would be. "Second, don't worry, there's got to be something and always remember that I'm right here for you and I love you very much." With that he took her into another hug and kissed her softly.

 

[isax]

Ashley closed her eyes as they kissed and nodded when they pulled away. "Okay. I should go check on Ry." Ashley said and kissed her husband again softly then went to his room and was brought into a tight hug by her eldest son. She sighed and hugged him back. "I'm not going anywhere Rylan. I'll still be here. I'm going to do everything I can to stay here with you my love. I'm not leaving." Ashley told him and Rylan nodded as he continued to cry. "Shhh. I'm here." She whispered
