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

[Lexus]

Clay looked up at her while he ate his breakfast and smiled cheerfully at Allie inviting her to the table. Nothing was awkward for him anymore. When he looked up to see her hair was covering her face he leaned over and fixed it. "We don't bite here ya know? You can not be so frightened." He says taking another bight of food.

Ashley looked up at Clay and smiled softly. She was glad it wasn't awkward for them anymore. She nodded and began to eat and then Allie looked at Rylan who said, "So mom, we have a game today, you're coming right?" He asked. They played Garcia today. It was the perfect opportunity for their dad to show his protective side again because they knew Drew and Claire would be there.

 

[Lexus]

Clay groaned and rolled his eyes. He really didn't want to deal with any of those people today, because he knew what they would start and he was in a good mood. Clay shook his head. "Not today, find something else to do." He says getting up from the table and putting his plate in the sink. Around this time Jenna became fussy because she was alone and when Ashley went to grab her Clay sat her back in the chair. He then walked over to the baby and carried her in his arms to the table where she looked at everyone in fascination. "There now you can be a part of the action too."

 

[isax]

Ashley smiled as she looked at their baby daughter and their older ones smiled. "So okay no game. What about mini golf? We haven't gone since that one time." Allie said and Ashley laughed as she kissed Jenna's head. "I'm down. Your father can never beat me at it anyways." Ashley said as she looked at Clay and laughed and that was when Jenna looked at her parents and laughed to. Her first laugh. It was perfect.

 

[Lexus]

"Ha! See that Jenna's laughing because she knows I can" he stuck out his tongue teasingly and then held Jenna's little hand to his. "High five Jenna." He says and then claps trying to get her to mimic him but she just ended up eating her fingers instead. "How about something we can all do?l he asks looking down at the baby. Who was still trying to eat her fingers for breakfast.

 

[isax]

"What do you suggest Clay?" Ashley asked as she smiled. This was all so familiar and she missed it. Dearly. Why did she have to go screw things up? Hopefully she got a second chance. She hated her last name at the moment. "Park?" Allie asked and the boys shook their head. "Then where?" Allie added and everyone shrugged.

 

[Lexus]

"We'll figure it out." Clay got up from the chair and made Jenna use bottle. It was sad to him their youngest daughter had yet to do anything with her entire family all at at once. Lauren she was finished eating the kids ran up the stairs to get ready for the day. He laughed because it was obvious they were excited. Clay shook his head in amusement, if he wanted to win their mom back, he didn't need their help/ he wasn't confident it was the right decision.

 

[isax]

Ashley laughed at her kids too. She was excited to spend the day as a whole family. Even if they weren't a actual family, they weren't a broken family. After Ashley realized all she did, she didn't want her kids to go through that again. That's why she herself wasn't sure if winning Clay back was the right choice to make. Rylan ran down all dressed and ready then Allie and Cory followed. Allie noticed her mom wearing the same thing as yesterday and smiled. "Mom come here." She said and dragged her upstairs. Allie had some of her moms clothes. She gave her mom back her boots for the day and Ashley chose to wear her hair up but Allie took it down. "What are you doin' Allie?" She asked and Allie remembered something. "Don't worry." She said and ended up putting make up on her mom and when they finished, they walked back down. "About time." Rylan said and smiled at his moms shirt. A Yankee shirt. He would play on that team just for her.

(Did you watch the game yesterday?)


When' Clay turned from the kitchen counter where he was making his coffee and he saw Ashley, he froze for a minute and smiled. Allie knew what she was doing, she knew he liked their nom's hair better down than up and even though she was wearing make up he took a minute to embrace it and it looked nice. He smiled and set the cup down. "You look nice," He says clearing his throat before walking up the stairs to get ready himself.

 

[isax]

(No. I wanted to but I was busy all day. So I just basically got the updates from the app.)


"Thanks." Ashley said quietly and then went over to the mirror in the downstairs restroom. She hated make up. Allie made Ashley promise she would keep it on however. She sighed. Little did her and Clay know it wasn't just the kids with ideas but the entire clan. They were all in on it.

 

[Lexus]

(Same.)


Clay got dressed quickly because he knew everyone was waiting for him. He didn't really pay attention to what he threw on, jeans and a t-shirt. Treading down the stairs he smiled at Jenna who looked up at him from the floor. He could tell she was trying to make an effort to crawl. Crouching down on his knees a few feet away he tapped his fingers on the carpet to see if she would come.

 

[isax]

Ashley walked back over and looked at Clay and Jenna. She saw Jenna looked at where her dad was tapping and saw Jenna get excited. She slowly began to crawl. Ashley smiled and walked over next to Clay. "Come on Jenna. Come here to mommy and daddy." Ashley said and Jenna got more excited to see both her parents and crawled over to them with the biggest smile. Ashley smiled and when she reached them she let Clay pick her up but smiled. "Good Job Jenna."

 

[Lexus]

Clay too had the brightest smile on her face when Allie actually made it towards them. He picked her up and chuckled. "That sure got you moving didn't it." He kissed her cheek and watched her look at the two of them. "What?" He asked the baby playfully. She just giggled at them both.

 

[isax]

After Jenna giggled she put her hands on her parents. Ashley laughed and then looked at the foundation that got on Jenna's hand. She wiped it off with her shirt. "Sorry Jenna. Your sister is so determined to make me wear this." She told Jenna and she giggled.

 

[Lexus]

"I bet I know why," Clay says setting the baby down and going into the kitchen to grab a clean towel and warming it with warm water before walking back over to Ashley. "So I'll do this," He whispers with a faint smile gently rubbing the towel against her face until it was all gone.

 

[isax]

Ashley couldn't help but blush softly when Clay did what he always did. Allie smiled when he saw that. She succeeded again. When he finished, Ashley smiled at Clay and got lost in his eyes again. "Thanks..." She whispered.

 

[Lexus]

"You're welcome," He replies with a soft laugh. "I think you pull this look off better anyway." He walked away and threw the towel in the laundry. "Alright, I think we're ready," clay's smile was warm and welcoming. The two took two be hikes because one wouldn't hold everybody. Before Allie got out of the car he grabbed her arm. "Allie, don't be disappointed if things don't go as you want them too." He warns her.

 

[isax]

"Why wouldn't they? Everyone sees it dad. What are you and mom so afraid of?" Allie said seriously as she looked at her father and Ashley was over with the other kids laughing with them. "Moms happy dad. She tells us. She's just sad because she isn't a Waters anymore." She added and sighed.

 

[Lexus]

"We've discussed this, what happened happened and your mom and I did what we thought was right. What happens between your mother and I is none of your concern but whatever happens it's for the best, do you understand?"

 

[isax]

"No I don't. It makes no sense that you and mom aren't back together when everyone can see the love their again. You think I'm the only one trying to get y'all together again. There's a lot more people trying then you think and no. Y'all's decision will not be for the best. Y'all's first decision wasn't for the best. You broke up a family and I know what mom did wasn't right. Still. Y'all have the love. Y'all are falling in love all over again and y'all are just scared to try being together again." Allie said and Ashley over heard because she was standing behind her. She sighed. "Allie stop love." Ashley said and Allie looked at her mom. "Mom." She said and Ashley shook her head. "It's fine Allie. Our decision will be for the best okay." She said and Allie sighed. "What are scared of mom?" She asked and Ashley sighed then looked at Clay. "Of screwing things up again. Falling back into my old habits and breaking your dad's heart again. That's what I'm scared of Allie." Ashley said then walked off back to the boys.

 

[Lexus]

Clay sighed at Allie and looked at her with a look of disappointment. She was a teenager so of course she thought she knew everything and what was best but what she didn't realize was they broke the marriage because neither of them were happy with each other. Clay was afraid they were only starting to feel this way now because they didn't belong to each other anymore and if they ever did again there was always a chance things could go back to what they used to be and marriage wasn't a game, he wasn't signing those papers again, it killed him the first time. What was best for their kids was a conflict free environment. Of course they loved each other but it was different now they loved each other because of all the time they spent together. Clay got out of the car and watched as the three oldest ran off to play with the soccer ball. Clay took the seat next to Ashley and sighed. "She sure does have a mind of her own,"

 

[isax]

"Yeah she does but she isn't wrong Clay." Ashley said as she sighed and looked at baby Jenna then looked over at him. "I miss you." She told him then looked away knowing he wouldn't are if she said those words. She smiled at Jenna as she held her wedding band finger. There was no ring to mess with but Jenna still held onto it. She laughed and sighed. She missed Clay. She really did. She was just sad they couldn't make each other happy anymore. It killed her when she signed those papers and she wasn't planning in signing them again.

 

[Lexus]

When Clay spoke he moved his gaze from Ashley to the kids and there was a long smile before he spoke. "I miss you too," he whispers. "But this isn't a game Ashley, and for once we have to do what is right without feeling pressured and I just don't know."

 

[isax]

"I don't either." Ashley said as she sighed. She honestly wanted to marry him again but she wouldn't know if things happened all over again. "We could always chance it but I just don't know Clay." She said and smiled as Jenna slowly began to fall asleep

 

[Lexus]

Clay shook his head. "Not after what we've been through." He looked at her with apologetic eyes. He just really didn't want neither of them to end up hurt again after all the progress they had made as independents. "Just because we're good parents doesn't mean we're good for each other." He didn't want to ruin the cheerful moods but some how this conversation crept upon them. He quickly changed the subject. "Are you taking them home for Christmas or are you saying here?"
