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

[Lexus]

Clay laughed, covering his mouth with his hand until he was finished. "What the two of us do when none of y'all are here is none of your concern." Clay replied pushing Gaven playfully. "Leave Ashley alone." Clay could see it in her eyes how much this was waring her down.

 

[isax]

"So Ash I thought you had work." Gaven said and Ashley smiled, "Yeah I did but I called in sick. I wanted to spend time with my husband." She told him and Gaven laughed. "I guess I ruined that huh?" He asked and Ashley shook her head. "Not at all." She was exhausted and she was pushing herself. She knew Clay could see it but she was glad Gaven couldn't. It meant she was hiding it well.

 

[Lexus]

Clay was shinning to get impatient with his friend but knew better than to rush him because that would make things suspicious. "Don't listen to her, she's just being nice." Clay says with a light laugh towards his friend as his grip tightened safely around his wife. She needed to rest.

 

[isax]

Ashley blinked when she felt Clay tightened his grip around her safely. She knew he was getting impatient and she knew he wanted her to rest. She squeezed his hand to reassure she was okay. When Gaven finished he looked at the two and chuckled. "Well thank you Mrs. Waters for the amazing lunch. I have work I should get back too. I will be back with Mallory for the kids later by the way." He said as he hugged the two bye and then left. Ashley then sighed and would have almost fell if Clay wasn't holding her. "Thanks for holding me. I think I would have fallen without you there." She said and smiled a weak smile back at her husband.

 

[Lexus]

"That's what I'm here for." He says with a smile in return, picking her up in his arms gently he carried her back up the stairs again. Before he let her go he kissed her. He couldn't imagine what her body was going through right now, it was horrible for him to has to see her like this but he was her husband and he vowed his love for her through everything. He had to fix this but he knew there wasn't much time.

 

[isax]

Ashley closed her eyes and kissed her husband back. When she pulled away she looked at Clay and knew what he was thinking. She sighed and said, "You shouldn't have to go through this with me you know. We could always just take a break from our marriage. You don't deserve to go through this." Ashley said with a weak smile and a few tears falling from her eyes. She didn't want her husband to think he was stuck with her through this. She could see how horrible it was for him to see her like this.

 

[Lexus]

Clay simply shook his head. "I'm not leaving you, I wouldn't trust you with anyone else." He says with a smile wiping her tears away. "I'll always be here, don't worry about me." He whispers laying down beside her. "Go to sleep." He took her hand and held it in his and smiled when he watched her drift off.

 

[isax]

Ashley smiled at her husband and closed her eyes as she slowly began to fall asleep. He body wanted it and she knew she needed it. She missed work to be with her husband, not trying to catch up on her sleep. She stayed asleep for a long time. She didn't even hear Rylan when he came home. "Dad I got a game tonight." Rylan called out and ran up the stairs to his room so he could change. Then the twins came up. "Us too!" Allie added and they went to get dressed.

 

[Lexus]

"Shhhhh." Clay says softly running down the stairs. "Alright, be quiet though, your mom is resting." He says helping them get ready for their games. "Uncle Gaven's going to take y'all this time okay?" Clay tells them quietly as he he saw him pull in. He rushed the kids outside before Gaven could come in and wake Ashley.

 

[isax]

Rylan and Allie looked at their dad and Rylan said, "but mom never misses a game." Ashley was awake by now and she got dressed quickly then went down the stairs. She looked normal but she was still tired. "And I'm not going to." She told them and Rylan ran to hug his mom. "I'll meet you guys there okay? Go." She told them and they nodded and ran to Gavens car and got in. She grabbed her keys to her truck. "Are you ready?" She asked Clay with a smile.

 

[Lexus]

Clay shook his head at his wife. "You're unbelievable you know that?" Only she would force herself up to be there for the kids. He took the keys from her and nodded. When they arrived he took her hand tightly to make sure she wouldn't fall and walked for the bleachers.

 

[isax]

"So I've been told." Ashley said with a laugh and then walked to the truck and when they got there she smiled when Clay held her hand tightly. She wasn't going to fall but she loved knowing Clay wouldn't let her. She sat down on the bleachers and smiled as her kids went out to warm up. She looked at the team and noticed there was a new player for Garcia. Daren. She looked at Rylan and saw him looking at Daren and Daren looking at him. They were both warming up to pitch. This would be interesting.

 

[Lexus]

Clay saw it too and he glanced over to his son as if to say 'don't even think about starting anything.' He knew if the two started to act out Ashley would run out there and she didn't need to be getting stressed. He hadn't let go of her hand since they sat down and smiled when Mallory walked over and sat beside them.

 

[isax]

"Well hello there you two." Mallory said with a smile and Ashley smiled back. "Hey Mal, how's work?" She asked and Mallory scrunched her nose. "Busy." She said and the two laughed. As the game began Ashley watched the two and sadly, Daren hit a line drive right back to Clay and it hit him in the stomach. Rylan coughed and then sat down as he held his stomach. Ashley sighed as Daren began to laugh and she saw Allie wanting to go over to him. Ashley stood up and let go of her husbands hand then ran out to the field. "Allie and Cory in the dugout with the rest of the team now." She told them and they sighed as they ran in. Ashley then ran over to her son who immediately grabbed her hand. "I'm right here just take in deep breaths." She told him as she began to cough. She sighed and just stayed there as the coach came over with an ice pack.

 

[Lexus]

Clay wanted to stop her but he knew he wouldn't be able to, it was useless. Instead he sighed and gave Mallory a half smile before running out to his wife and son. Rylan had taken hits harder then this before, he knew he would be okay. Sad enough to say as much as he was trying to not treat his wife any different he was more concerned for her.

 

[isax]

"Come on Ry. Just catch your breath. You'll be fine." Ashley told him and Rylan nodded and after awhile he smiled at his mom. "Thank mom." He told her and she kissed his forehead. "For you id do anything. Now go kick butt." She told him and helped him stand up then walked off the field but felt dizzy. She grabbed onto Clay so she wouldn't fall. She hated this.

 

[Lexus]

When Ashley reached for him Clay ran up behind her and took her and quickly before she fell. To everyone else though it didn't look bad. He walked with her slowly back to the bleachers next to Mallory.

 

[isax]

Ashley sighed as she walking back towards the bleachers. She sat down next to Mallory and the two talked as if nothing was wrong with her. Finally when the game was over, Rylans team won as always. She smiled and they all went with Gaven and Mallory to go eat. Ashley looked at Clay and smiled. "Thank you." She whispered as she slowly stood up.

 

[Lexus]

"No need to thank me, it's my job." He replies moving the hair out of her eyes and helping her up before taking her hand again. It almost seemed like nearly everything made her exhausted, that wasn't like her, she was always the one to be running and jumping around. He really hoped this was only just a stage in their chapter as a couple and this wasn't how he would have to remover her last moments. He shook the thought of his head and drove back home.

 

[isax]

Ashley smiled at her husband and got in the car with him. When they got home, she took a deep breath in and then walked into the house perfectly fine. "I'm going to get everything packed for this weekend." She told him and kissed him softly then went up the stairs. Now she wasn't even showing her husband her weak side. She didn't want him to see her like that anymore.

 

[Lexus]

Clay sighed when she walked away knowing she was trying to hide it from him again. He just nodded and followed her up the stairs. He sat on the bed and watched her with a smile she really wasn't doing to let this change her, that proved just how strong she was even though he already knew it was still inspiring to see it. He walked up behind her and hugged her from behind like he had earlier and hugged her. "Is that really how you want to spend this rare commodity of peace and quiet?" He whispers in her ear with a laugh.

 

[isax]

Ashley stopped what she was doing and laughed at her husband. She put her hands on his and leaned back against him. "Mmm not really but what else is there to do?" She told him with a laughed and then turned around to look at him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and then kissed him long and passionately. Her fingers finding his hair and playing with it like always. She missed moments like this. She missed it just being her and Clay but she never regretted having her kids.

 

[Lexus]

Clay pulled away for a moment and bit his lip. "Well, this is fine with me." He says with a laugh kissing her again. "But we can do whatever your heart desires." Taking her fingers he brought them to his lips and kissed them.

 

[isax]

Ashley laughed softly at her husband and said, "I wouldn't know what to do." She then smiled and sat on the bed. "Maybe just sleep?" She asked only to tease. She bit her lip and then laughed again. It's been a long while that they actually had the house to themselves again.

 

[Lexus]

Clay plopped down beside her for dramatic effect and laughed. Rolling over he placed her on top of him, her head on his chest. He found her fingers and laced theirs together.
