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

[Lexus]

Clay nodded, he understood. When she left he walked up the stairs and into Rylan's room. He sat in the desk chair and started back at his son. "Mind telling me what changed your mind?" He asks in a whisper resting his head on his hands against the chair.

 

[isax]

"I just didn't want to go with her..." Rylan said as he sighed and stared at the picture he had of him and his mom. "I don't know who she is anymore." He lied. He lied about it all. He thought his mom would fight for him because she wanted him to go with her but as always, Ashley wanted her family happy. "Dad... Mom and I were talking.... If the baby's yours... She said she's not asking you for child support." He told him and sighed. "Mom will be okay right?" You could tell despite the lie he just told, he wanted his mom safe.

 

[Lexus]

Clay nodded, "of course she'll be okay, I'll makes sure of it whether she likes it or not." He reassures his son. He knew what he did and why he did it. "Rylan, you know your mom loves you and if you went to go with her I'll take you to her right now, don't be like like her, do what makes you happy, understand?"

 

[isax]

"Well you know what dad. Shocker here, I won't be happy with either of y'all." Rylan said as he stood up. "There's no reason I should have to pick because a child should not have to pick between his dad or his mom." He added then left the room and went outside to ride Riot for awhile. He needed to cool off.

 

[Lexus]

Clay watched him leaves and sighed in defeat he out his head in his hands for a moment. He son was right, but there was nothing he could do. What was done was done and there was no fixing it. He let his son go blow off so me steam and went off to make dinner. Eventually he would have to tell the twins what was going on. When dinner was served he sat the three kids down and of course the subject moved to the baby. When Allie got all excited and asked him questions he simply answered with an "I don't know."


And smiled.

 

[isax]

Rylan didn't even eat his food. He simply played with it. The twins looked at their dad and Rylan couldn't take it anymore. "Alright, Allie and Cory wanna know why mom and dad are breaking up?" He said and the twins looked at him confused. "Because mom went and cheated on dad. That's why. So yes the rumors that you heard are true. Mom is the s*** of this town." He said, his anger getting the best of him and then he left. The twins looked at their father in utter shock and felt anger boil up but that was their mom. She did everything she could to keep them happy. "So.... The baby maybe isn't even yours." Cory said to his dad and Allie sighed. "Mom said it's a girl..." Allie added and barley touched her food. "She wanted me to help her come up with a name because she couldn't come up with one." Allie added and Cory sighed. He felt so much anger with his mom but kept it in. "Mom also made a comment the other day...." Cory added and Allie looked at him as if saying to shut up.

 

[Lexus]

Clay didn't go after his son he just let him go. He needed to relieve his anger. He nodded to Cory's assumption of the baby and set his fork down. "Whet did she say?" Clay asked ignoring the comment it was a girl.

 

[isax]

"She wished she died in the hospital bed if she knew this was going to happen." Cory said and Allie sighed. Their mom just wasn't feeling gold that day.

 

[Lexus]

Clay felt the stinging from her comment. Typical Ashley, outing her hurtful comments on people that didn't need to hear them. He cut her a break though because she was hormonal. "She doesn't mean it, your mom isn't going to he herself for awhile but you have to look out for her and let her know you love her and she'll be okay, be nice to her, she is your mother."

 

[isax]

"She already knows we love her dad." Allie said and the two stood up then looked at him and said together, "It's you who doesn't." The twins sighed then went up to their room so they could just get their mind off things.


4 months passed and finally the day happened when her water broke. The doctor asked Trent and Clay for a DNA sample so they could run one on the child when she was born. Ashley laid in that labor room with Jenna holding her hand. How terrible. She couldn't calm herself down and was risking the baby's health. "Can anyone calm her down?" The doctor asked and Trent smiled. "I can." He said and Gaven grabbed his arm and pulled him back. "Get the hell out of you. You will make her worse." He told him and Mallory looked at Clay. She didn't know of he would go and be there for Ashley during the labor or not.

 

[Lexus]

Clay sighed and looked back at Mallory with a nod and followed her in the room. No matter what anyone believed or said he did love her. He couldn't just leave her in pain if she needed someone and it was her life and possibly his child's on the line. Once in the room Jenna and everyone stepped back and Clay took the seat beside her and took her hand. He knew she wouldn't reject his attention because how how much own she was in. "Calm down," He whispers into her ear his grip tightening on her hand. He Leaned over and moved the lose strands of hair from her face and smiled at her when she liked up at him. "I'm right here,"

 

[isax]

"Why...?" She whispered and cried out in pain as another contraction hit her and her grip tightened on Clays. Sure they weren't married but Clay was here with her. If he didn't care or love her, he wouldn't have been here with her. When she was given the epidural she calmed down and looked over at Clay. She was exhausted. "I love you." She whispered to where only he would hear her and cried out in pain again as the contractions happened more frequently and had more pain. The epidural wasn't working obviously.

 

[Lexus]

"Because it looks to me like you need a best friend right now," he whispers back with a laughter laugh trying to get her to calm down. When she whispered to him he nodded and smiled before replying. "Together forever," Where only she could hear. He leaned down and kissed her forehead in a comforting way.

 

[isax]

Ashley smiled and continued to hold into Clays hand. Jenna smiled at the two. They couldn't hide their feelings for each other. She knew they still loved each other. They spent 17 years married plus 16 years as best friends. A total of 33 years together. That was a lot of years to spend together. "Ready to push Ash?" Mallory asked as they began to prep her.

 

[Lexus]

Clay laughed at her hesitation. "It's nothing you haven't done before," He reminds her as he felt her grip tighten. It was nice for a few minutes to remember why he fell in love with her but he knew it wouldn't last, especially not if the bay was his.

 

[isax]

(Was or wasn't?)


Ashley laughed and then looked at Clay. "You try doing this three times and about to go on a fourth." She said and then when she felt pain pushed like the doctor wanted. She pushed until the cry was heard. She relaxed as her grip on Clays hand loosened and she laid back as they wrapped the baby in the blankets and handed her to Ashley. Ashley smiled that bright smile like she did with all her other kids. After a few moments the doctor took the baby and said, "Okay, we are going to go run the DNA test now. We want to do it before you name the baby." He said and Ashley nodded. She really hoped it wasn't Trent's. That would just worsen things.

 

[Lexus]

(Up to you ^~^)


Clay smiled at Ashley with the baby, something about the way she looked at her kids when they first laid eyes on her was precious to him, even if it wasn't his. When the baby was taken he congratulated her and slowly stood up turning to get back out of the way, he didn't figure she needed of wanted him around now that she wasn't in any pain.

 

[Lexus]

(It's supposed to say wasn't xD )

 

[Lexus]

(But it's up to you whose it is.)

 

[isax]

(Okay. xD )


"Clay can you um.... Can you stay?" She asked. She didn't want him to leave. She loved that moment they just shared but not only that, she was nervous and just wanted him to stay here with her. When the doctor came back in, Ashley looked at him and Trent was brought into the room. This wasn't good. "Whoever I give the baby to is the dad." Mallory said as she had a bright smile on her face. It gave it away. She walked over to Clay and handed him his new born daughter. "You're the father Clay." She said and Trent rolled his eyes and walked out. Ashley couldn't help but feel relief wash over her. "The name Ashley?" The doctor asked and she looked at her newest daughter. "I'm not sure." She whispered then looked at Clay. "Help?" She asked him with a soft smile.

 

[Lexus]

Clay looked at her and nodded with a smile walking back over to Ashley and taking her hand again. When the doctor came back in the room he suddenly felt his heart go into his chest. He smiled at Mallory when she walked towards him. He couldn't believe it at first, he thought maybe Trent was standing behind him. When he heads Mallory confirm if he still couldn't believe if. He looked down at the baby who he could now fully embrace and accept as his own. She was beautiful. It made him forget about everything that was happening between him and Ashley and looked up at her when she asked for help. He leaned over and whispered a name in her ear with a laugh. "Jenna." He whispers remembering the promise they made their friend all those years ago.

 

[isax]

Ashley laughed softly and smiled. "I forgot about that." She whispered but then looked at the doctor and said, "Jenna Rose." The doctor nodded then said, "Whose last name?" And Ashley looked at Clay then back at the doctor. "Waters."

 

[Lexus]

Clay looked at his daughter and back to Ashley. "You don't have to do that," he whispers. He wanted her to know it was okay if she chose her name over his before she made the final decision.

 

[isax]

"I want it as Waters. She deserves her dad's last name. Plus she wouldn't want to be a Valentine." She told him and smiled softly as the doctor nodded. "Welcome to the world Jenna Rose Waters." The doctor said and Ashley smiled again.

 

[Lexus]

Clay handed baby Jenna back to her mother and looked over at her with a smile. When the doctor left and they were alone Clay's eyes didn't leave his daughter's. Until he looked up at Ashley. "You did great." He says not wanting it to be awkward.
