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

[isax]

(It's okay. No worries.)


"Yeah I know. My new job is a lot of work." Jenna said with a smile and then hugged all her nieces and nephews. She missed them dearly. "And who is this young fella?" Ashley asked and Jenna smiled. "This is Greg. Greg this is our clan. That's Reagan and Rylan." She pointed as she went on. "Those two are the twins so Allie and Cory." Allie waved and Cory simply nodded. "That's baby Arabella and these two lovely couples are Gaven and Mallory and the Waters who are Ashley and Clay." She said and laughed. A lot of people she had to introduce.

Greg pulled his hand out of his pocket and waved to all the new people as he stepped forward. "It's nice to meet you all," he says with a smile. Clay smiled in return and shook his hand. So far he didn't look bad.

 

[isax]

"It's nice to meet you as well." Ashley said with a smile. She thought he was pretty nice. Mallory smiled and Gaven nodded. "Nice to meet you too." He said and then kids nodded then looked at Jenna. "Is that your boyfriend Aunt Jenna?" Allie asked and Jenna blushed. "He's a friend Allie." She told her and Allie looked from Greg to Jenna.

 

[Lexus]

Greg couldn't help but laugh lightly at Anna's question but nodded lightly at her aunt'sbut response. Though he knew a bunch of teenagers wouldn't buy that story he knew Jenna would try and stick it to them.


Clay turned to his daughter and half smiled. "Don't make them uncomfortable Allie, go upstairs and wash up for dinner." Clay says motioning the kids towards the stairs, accepting Arabella's hug as she walked by.

 

[isax]

All the kids nodded and went up the stairs. Mallory smiled at Arabella and said, "Bella sure does love her uncle Clay." Ashley laughed softly and nodded. "I hope you like chicken Alfredo Greg." She told him and Mallory and Gaven sat at the table. "Clay honey, be a dear and help me take the plates for the kids to the playroom so they can eat there." She told him and kissed him quickly then grabbed a few plates and went up the stairs. "What about drink for them?" Jenna asked and Ashley called back, "Bring up some gatorades." Jenna nodded and walked to the fridge to get all the kids a Gatorade but knew exactly which ones they liked.

 

[Lexus]

Clay took the last of the plates but not before taking the drinks from Jenna. "Sit," He says pulling out a chair for her with his foot since his handsa were full and smiled at Greg. "Make yourself at home, well be right back." With Jenna's friend in the picture it would become even harder to break the news to their friends that they would be moving. He knew his nieces Wouldn't take it either

 

[isax]

Jenna sighed and sat down like Clay told her and told Greg to sit down next to her. Ashley told all the kids to sit down and handed each of them a plate then they grabbed the gatorades from Clay. She laughed softly and then walked back down and served everyone else. "I could have served us Ash." Mallory said and she shook her head.

 

[Lexus]

Clay came down the stairs after Ashley and heard what Mallory said. "You know Ashley, others before herself." He comments with a wink towards his wife grabbing an extra chair from the office and sitting at the table.

 

[isax]

Ashley laughed softly at her husbands wink and served everyone then served them the drink they wanted and sat down next to her husband. Her hand finding Clays and giving it a squeeze. "Well Clay Waters, what was the invite for dinner all about?" Jenna asked.

 

[Lexus]

"Oh, we'll save that for later." Clay says simply smiling when he felt his wife's hand in his own. "Besides, of you ask me, you have some explaining to do." Clay says with a smirk eyeing the two of them. Jenna was a rare commodity these days to see.

 

[isax]

Jenna blinked and looked at Greg and smiled sheepishly. She looked at Clay again and said, "Why should I say it when you all already know?" She asked and Gaven laughed. "Oh do we already know?" He asked and Jenna shot him an annoyed look. "Shut up Alvarez." She told him and then the two laughed.

 

[Lexus]

"Because, you did it to the rest of us." Clay let out another laugh and began to eat his food. "Maybe I was starting to think you didn't need us anymore, you know you're never around." He was only teasing her to get back at her for what she did to him and his wife.


Greg smiled nervously at Jenna's friends, of course he knew who they were, everyone knew them. He knew to be in this elite group was an honor and he didn't want to screw it up.

 

[isax]

"Oh shut up Clay." Jenna said as she looked at Clay then continued to eat. "So who is he again Jenna? Just a friend?" Gaven asked and Jenna was becoming annoyed. "No he's my..... Boyfriend." Jenna said and Gaven began to laughed as Ashley shook her head at him. "I don't see why he wanted to date you." Gaven said and Jenna looked up at him. "Keep talking Alvarez." She said. Typical Gaven and Jenna. Always fighting. Mallory hit her husband and sighed, shaking her head at him.

 

[Lexus]

"Gaven, we discussed this, no fighting." Clay warns him like he would the kids. Clay looked over to Greg. "Don't make him uncomfortable, it must be hard enough to sit with us at the same table."


What Clay said helped Greg lightened up and he laughed and nodded. He had seen the Waters around town before and he saw how much if a family man Clay was. For everyone around town it was almost intimidating but Greg admired the man in a way, with what he did for his wife and all. "Jenna didn't even say she was friends with the Waters." Greg admits eyeing her playfully.


"Oh really?" Clay says looking at his friend Jenna. "Are you ashamed to be associated with us?"

 

[isax]

Gaven sighed at Clay and then continued to eat. It wasn't fun if he didn't get to fight with Jenna.


Jenna looked from Greg to Clay then looked back at Greg. "Don't lie. I did say I was friends with them but I never said their last name..." She admitted and Ashley laughed softly. "It's okay Jenna. I'm just Ashley Valentine." She told her to tease Clay. Jenna looked at Ashley and laughed but shook her head. "You know your husband will get you back for that." She told her and Ashley laughed again. "He can try." She admitted. Ashley was always teasing Clay the way she did. It was cute though.

 

[Lexus]

"Well, I'll pretend that didn't hurt my feelings," Clay pretended to use his napkin to wipe his tears before laughing again. "So, how long have you two been together?" Clay asks Jenna wanting the scoop on his friend since she knew everything about their relationship.

 

[isax]

Jenna looked at Ashley when Clay pretended to wipe his tears and the two just laughed. Ashley loved her husband. Jenna looked at Clay and then smiled as she said, "8 months.." It wasn't that long but it was. That was longer then any other relationship Jenna was in.

 

[Lexus]

Clay almost choked on his food at her reply but lucky for him Ashley was right there to pay his back. When he caught his breath he looked between the two."I'm sorry, what?" He asks reaching for his drink.

 

[isax]

Everyone laughed softly and Jenna looked away from Clay. "8 months..." She said again and Ashley smiled. "That's a long time." She said and Jenna nodded. "Yeah, I know." She told her and she smiled brightly.

 

[Lexus]

"Geez Jenna, are you trying to kill me?" He asks catching his breathe. "Why did you wait so long? Did you think we would bite him or something? You're not going to drop another bong on me and say you're having a kid are you?" He asks teasingly.

 

[isax]

"No! Absolutely not!" Jenna said as she sighed and shook her head. "I just never had the time to tell you guys." She admitted and then Allie came down the stairs with her phone in hand. "Mom, Issac texted me a picture of a sonogram. He said you were pregnant before all of us but you killed the baby." She said and Ashley simply stopped eating. She lost her appetite. She hadn't told her children what happened that day. She put her fork down and stood up. "Excuse me." Ashley said and went to her room. Allie looked at her dad a bit confused and Gaven and Jenna looked at each other and sighed. They knew Ashley still felt guilt deep down inside. "Claire more then likely told Issac to send you that Allie." Jenna said and Gaven nodded. P

 

[Lexus]

Clay froze somewhen he heard what his daughter said. He turned to her with hurt in his eyes, it was a hard subject for him too. How did they get that?" Clay rolled his tongue into his cheek and sighed. "Allie, I thought I took your phone." He says gently taking it back. "We'll talk about this later okay? Go back upstairs." He turned towards his friends. This is not how he wanted this dinner to go. Hopefully he could bring his wife back down without a struggle. "Jenna, their dessert in the fridge, I'll be right back." Greg just looke confused

 

[isax]

Allie was confused with her parents but nodded and went back up the stairs to the playroom with everyone else. Jenna nodded and sighed as Gaven looked over at her. "Think Ash will be alright?" He asked and Jenna shook her head. "No, I don't." She said and Mallory sighed. She remembered that day too. She was Ashley's nurse but she didn't know them like she did at the time. "Ashley had a miscarriage. She was in a fire at the university and inhaled to much smoke." Gaven said to Greg so he knew what they were talking about. Ashley laid on the bed and held the sonogram pictures. She will forever have that guilt she had that day. She just wanted to cry.

 

[Lexus]

(Sorry, my phone didn't tell me you posted.)


Clay quietly walked to the room and saw her on the bed, he knew what was in her hand.clay walked over to his wife and took her in his arms. He didn't say anything because neither of them needed to. He often wondered if she didn't miscarry who their child would have been but he also believed things happened for a reason. Maybe if they had that baby they wouldn't have the twins, they would never know.

 

[isax]

(It's okay.)


Ashley cried into her husbands chest and after awhile stopped and sighed. "I was supposed to tell them Clay.... Not anyone else.... How did they even get the picture of the sonogram?" She asked him and looked at the picture she held. She always wondered what their child would have grown up to be.
