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

[Lexus]

Clay nodded to his daughter and kissed her cheek. "It'll be okay I promise." He reassures her. He had to tell his eldest son he was leaving but now wasn't the time. He walked up the stairs back to his wife.

When Ashley heard Clay, she wiped away her tears and acted as if she was asleep. She couldn't talk about this because then she would break. She needed to but she was holding it in.

"Ashley, I know you're awake," He whispers, "But we don't have to talk about it." He say on the bed and took her in his arms. When she turned to face him he kissed her softly. He needed to be sure she would be okay while he was okay, the kids needed her to be okay.

Ashley kissed Clay again and held it for as long as possible. She rested her head on his chest and that was all it took. She broke and began to cry silently but after awhile began to wheeze from how hard she was crying. "Clay..... Why? Why do they have to take you away from me again? This time we have kids who understand Clay.... I can't do it. I can't guarantee I'll be strong enough." She whispered as she continued to cry.

"Yes you are, you have to be, remember, I promise to come come but you have to be strong." He hugged her tighter and kissed her again. "I'll be back."

"You can't guarantee that... You promised me that the first time and you almost died...." Ashley whispered. "What if this time you do die on me?" She asked

"You just have to trust me? Can you do that? Can you trust me?" his eyes meant hers and he waited for a response. If they didn't have trust they didn't have anything, the two of them learned that the hard way.

Ashley looked at Clay and nodded. "I can.." She whispered and kissed Clay lovingly and long. She pushed him down and continued to kiss him. Why'd he have to go?

When she pushed him he wrapped his arms around her and returned the kiss. "I love you, Mrs Waters." He whispers running his fingers gently across her cheek before kissing her again.

Ashley smiled and continued to kiss Clay as well. When she pulled away for air, she whispered, "I love you more, Mr. Waters." She then kissed him again. She loved moments like these.

"Then if you love me you'll keep an eye on everyone around here while I'm gone and I'll be back in no time. Everything will be the way it's supposed to be." He whispers before kissing her again.

 

[isax]

Ashley let a few tears fall but she nodded. "I'll try my hardest." She whispered and kissed him again. She really would try her hardest but she didn't know how long she herself could stay strong.

Clay wiped away her tears and kissed her again. He didn't wan to leave but he had no choice, she had to have known that.


Monday rolled around fairly quickly and Clay sighed when he awoke. The morning routine didn't change for him though, the first one up. He walked over and grabbed Jenna and held her close. The nest time he would see her she would be walking and wouldn't be so little anymore. He kissed her forehead and made her breakfast before he say with her. "You'll behave for everyone won't you Jenna?" He asks. He knew she wouldn't understand where it was he was going or that he was even leaving but it was worth a shot.

Jenna looked at her father confused but she nodded and smiled. "Yeah dada." She said and Allie was the second one up. She walked down and immediately hugged her dad. She didn't want him to leave today. Cory came down and hugged his dad as well. When Ashley came down she carried a fake smile but her children thought it was real so they didn't question anything. She kissed Clay on the cheek and then sat at the table.

Clay accepted each of the kid's hugs and smiled at Jenna. When Ashley came down he saw the fake smile on her face but he wasn't going to argue. He just offered her apologetic eyes and kissed her softly. After breakfast he got up and went to get changed. The uniform they sent, was stiff like how he remembered it but it wouldn't take long before he got used to it again. When he was finished getting ready he walked down the stairs with his things as they all stared at him he stopped and offered a smile. They had never seen him dressed like this.

The kids looked at their father and wore a smile. They hugged him one last time. Jenna kissed her dad's cheek and wrapped her arms around his neck. Ashley hugged Clay close and tried not to cry. "I love you." She whispered.

Clay tightened his grip around his wife as tight as he could before he leaned down and kissed her. "I'm leaving you in charge Mrs Waters." He says with a smile. That's when Rylan walked through the door. The two's have meant and Clay walked over and took his son into a firm hug.

 

[isax]

Ashley kissed Clay back and nodded at her husband. She looked at Rylan and smiled as he hugged his father tight. "I love you dad. Be safe." Rylan whispered and then pulled away and went to his mothers side. They all looked at Clay and Ashley smiled a weak smile. She would be okay. She would be okay. She could do it

Clay nodded to his son. "Of course," He tells his son. "I have to come back here to y'all bunch of crazies don't I?" He laughed but it quickly turned to a sad smile as they all wished him a safe trip. He nodded to them before he turned to leave and the tears didn't fall until he got to where he was going.

 

[isax]

Everyone laughed and sat down for dinner and eventually everyone went to go and sleep. Ashley didn't get any sleep however because Jenna didn't want to sleep. She was crying practically all night. "Shhh baby I know." Ashley whispered and Jenna's cries only got louder. "Dada!" She finally said and Ashley sighed. "Shhh love. Dad will be home soon I promise." Ashley whispered.

Allie woke from her sister'd cries and it made her heart brake. She walked into her parents room and took her sister from her mom gently before walking over to their dad's dresser and handing her a piece of his clothing. Allie had also heard her father him something to Jenna before she she started humming it too.

 

[isax]

Ashley smiled at her eldest daughter who helped her a lot. "Thank you Allie." Ashley whispered and kissed her cheek then went down to the kitchen and came back with a cup of milk for Jenna. "Here." Ashley whispered, handing it to Allie. Milk always helped Jenna sleep.

 

[Lexus]

Allie smiled at her mother and continued to rock baby Jenna to sleep and handed her the milk. When she was starting to get heavy eyes she laid her sister back down in the crib and went back to her room.

 

[isax]

Ashley smiled and then laid down. She was glad she had Allie to help her. All her kids were helping her really. It made her happy. A month or so passed and after everything was packed, she had everyone in the living room. "Y'all ready?" She asked then.

"We've been ready." Allie replies with a smile holding Jenna at her hip. Her brother nodded and started taking boxes out to the moving ban. It was strange not to have their father around and Allie constantly wondered what he was up to but they were growing used to this new routine helping their mother with everything they could. Tylan even came around to check in them, it was still unclear what his situation was but there was no avoiding the fact time was running out for him and Reagan, they only had a couple months before they were parents.
