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

[Lexus]

Clay came down after he changed closed and helped her clean up. "Thanks for the help," He says cleaning the corners as they finished. It was nice that for once they didn't have to be reminded thy were no longer a couple. "Hey, there's a trip to New York for work, to make plans to build some school of something, do you want to come with? It's only for a week."

Ashley smiled and said, "no problem at all. The kids invited me to stay the night. I hope you don't mind." She told him with a smile and then was a bit hesitant with Clay but nodded. "Yeah. Who will we leave the kids with though? Gaven and Mal?" She asked him with a smile. A week to New York. That was exciting even if it was just for work.

"I was just going to leave them here and have everyone check up on them every now and then." Why not? They were old enough and he was sure they could watch their little sister. "If you're okay with that I mean, I can ask Them if you want."

"No no that's fine. They are old enough I forget." Ashley said with a laugh but smiled at him. "I hope you do enjoy your first pair of boots." She said and laughed softly.

"Oh, I have plans for them." He says with a playful wink and a laugh. He still loved to tease her. He then turned to Jenna who was still bouncing happily in the swing. "Shouldn't you be asleep little one? The presents don't come until you do." He whispers kissing her forehead. "Don't give your mom any trouble tonight okay? You've some enough of that." He pointed at her and she giggled and he kissed her cheek once more before turning to Ashley. "Good night Hun." He says cheerfully walking. Back up the stairs.

Ashley laughed and shook her head. She laid back down on the couch with Jenna in her chest and the tie fell asleep until the older kids ran down the stairs to open their presents. She laughed and made their traditional Christmas breakfast. Colored pancakes but as always the kids wanted to open their gifts first.

Clay laughed. "And I thought they were grown." As usual he took his coffee and sat on the couch as he watched them turn the living room into a complete disaster.

Ashley laughed and watched them too as she sat on the couch next to Clay with her coffee. The kids walked over with a box and looked at their dad then at their mom. "From dad." They said and Ashley looked at Clay with raised eyebrows.

"Don't question it." Clay says with a laugh through the coffee mug and waited for her to open the box while he willed his coffee. Jenna crawly back over to Rylan picking up wrapping paper because it was colorful and threw it at him with a giggle.

Rylan laughed at Jenna and threw paper back at her and they laughed. Ashley shook her head and opened up the box as her eyes lit up. "Oh Clay. You really didn't have to." She told him and smiled a bright smile. "They're beautiful. Thank you." She said and kissed his cheek.

Clay nodded. "You're most welcome," Jenna clapped her hands at her brother and crawled in his lap and kissed his cheek slobbering. She looked up at him with admiration.

Ashley laughed at the two and Rylan laughed too and wiped his cheek. "Um Mom and dad, I have an announcement." He said as he ran upstairs then came back down and handed his mom a letter and then she stood and squealed with excitement. "Oh my Rylan! Notre Dame! This is amazing." She said. Rylan was offered a full scholarship to play baseball at Notre Dame. This is amazing.

"No, you're lying!" Clay exclaims standing up like a corn stock taking the letter and reading it. He looked up at his son with a bright smile. He took his son into a hug and pulled away. I, we're all very proud of you."

Rylan smiled and Jenna laughed and hugged onto his leg as she giggled. "We're all proud of you." Ashley said and hugged her son again then he picked up Jenna. These were the moments where it felt like nothing wrong happened.

Clay couldn't believe how fast the time went by with Rylan. It seemed like just yesterday Ashley was showing him what the red dirt was and now he practically lived on it. "Did you tell Reagan?"

"Yeah. She was offered a full scholarship for softball too." He said with a big smile. They were still Juniors but when you're a Junior, you can pick what school you want to sign with. Ashley smiled and she wanted to cry. It was like she barley showed Rylan the basics and now he got this far. "I'm keeping my promise to you mom." He said and Ashley smiled. She never once doubted her son. She knew he could do it.

Clay knew his son would keep his promise, he never doubted it. He just didn't want him to get hurt doing if but that was a part of the career. As long as his son didn't forget what was really important he would support him in his decision.

After they all picked up, Ashley stood up to stretch and grabbed her box of boots. "Well I think I should be going." She said but their kids tackled her into the snow outside and shook their heads. "No your not!" They said and Ashley laughed as they continued to tackle each other around in the snow.

Baby Jenna laughed at the sight and clapped her hands in her father's arms. The Waters spent that day as a family like nothing was wrong.

New Years came around and that was when Jenna said was it crazy her and Greg wanted to get married? Ashley laughed at her friend and shook her head. "If you know it's real love then it isn't crazy at all." She told her with a smile as all the adults drank and Ashley watched the kids play with fire works and sparklers and she held Jenna. During these holidays it all felt so right. Like nothing was wrong and she loved it. "Ash, want a beer?" Jenna asked and Ashley shook her head. "No thanks. I'm fine." She said with a smile.

Clay walked out at her and smiled in the doorway. He sighed. Lately he had been thinking about what was right but he still wasn't sure. He but his lip looking at her and walked away for a minute but then he heard screaming and ran back outside. What he saw made his heart drop. There was Trent in the dead of night, his face viable from the fire with a gun pointed at Ashley. Clay slowly stepped forward. "Kids to inside and lock the door," He whispers sternly and they listened surprisingly. The baby in Ashley's arms was obviously frightened. "Trent, you don't want to do this, put it down."

Ashley stayed still and looked at Trent with fearful eyes. She could be killed instantly. She closed her eyes and felt tears flowing down her cheeks. "I love you Clay." She whispered. She had to tell him incase she was killed by Trent. Trent looked at Clay and laughed. "Why shouldn't i? I can take away everything that makes you happy Clay. You don't deserve Ashley. She broke your heart. Why do you care."

"You don't know what you're talking about, just put it down. There are kids here." His voice was calm because he didn't want to anger him. "What do you want, money?" He slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet throwing it on the ground. Take it. Don't hurt the girl. Just put it done and we can talk."

"What makes you think I want money? I have that. I want her." Trent said looking at Ashley and she kept her eyes closed. Ashley didn't want to go with Trent. Gaven came up from behind and hit Trent with a chair but the trigger was pulled. Luckily it missed Ashley's head and the baby. It hit her shoulder. Ashley bit her lip so she wouldn't cry out in pain.

(That was awesome Gaven xD ) "Ashley!" Clay called in panic as he ran to her. He took the baby from her arms and handed her to Gaven and took Ashley in his arms. "It's okay, you're okay." He whispers. He wouldn't be surprised if she felt how fast his heart was beating in his chest. He has to hold her for a minute before he turned to her wound.
