Love Isn't Always Fair (A Ashley Purdy Love Story) *On Hold*

Chapter 27: Christmas

Izzy’s POV

I woke up and it was Christmas. Ash was already up with the kids. I still had to take things slow. I headed downstairs and my coffee and breakfast were waiting for me. Ash came over and kissed my cheek. “Morning.” He chirped. “Morning.” I said. Melody was reaching for me. I took her from her bouncy chair and held her as I ate breakfast. “Melody, are you hungry?” I asked. She nodded her head a little. I picked her up and sat in the rocking chair. I pulled down my shirt and fed her. Ashley was already feeding Austin from a bottle full of my breast milk. When they were done me and Ash opened up the kids’ presents with them helping a little. They mostly got toys and clothes. Melody got a new teddy bear. Three days ago CC puked on her old one. So I made CC go buy her a new one. He apologized. I forgave him. Ashley got me a pretty vase for the flowers I grew in my garden, a nook for my reading habits, and a pretty Pandora bracelet. I gave him a kiss. He loved the new bass I bought him and the watch. We all got dressed and headed to my parents. Ash’s were dead so we couldn’t really spend the day with them. I wish we could go visit their graves but they were in a different state. I knew Ashley’s parents would like me and the kids. His parents seemed pretty cool. But he didn’t have many memories of him since they died when he was young. I wish we could go visit his grandparents but we couldn’t. Ash was a very strong and independent guy since he didn’t have them. We called his grandparents and said merry Christmas. I was going to have them come out for Ash’s birthday but since we were going to be on tour I was skipping it. When we were in their state I was going to have them stop by. They need to meet their great grandkids after all. We got to my parents’ house and Matt was already eating food and playing video games. “Uncle Matt is officially on nephew and niece duty.” I said handing him the kids. He smiled and played with them on the floor. I loved how he could grow up when they were around. His girlfriend wasn’t joining us today. I wish she was so I could meet her. My mom ran out and hugged me tightly. I helped her cook Christmas dinner. My dad and Ashley were talking about sports again and the upcoming tour. My mom smiled at me. “I’m so happy that you are happy.” She said. “I was happy as soon as I ditched my old life and you adopted me.” I said. She hugged me tightly. “I wish we met you earlier in life so we could’ve saved you sooner. Matt loves being a big brother and uncle. And your father loves having a daughter to have to protect and grill her husband.” She said. I laughed. Matt came in with Austin. “He’s hungry and I can’t get the lid off the bottle.” Matt said. Me and my mom laughed. He handed me the bottle and I opened it. I sat down and fed Austin. He went back in the living room and played with Melody. “He is so cute.” My mom said. “I know. He looks just like his father.” I said. She agreed. We finished making dinner. We put Melody and Austin down for a nap and ate. I sat on Ashley’s lap as we all opened presents. “How are you sweetie?” my dad asked. “Better. It still hurts a little. The asshole didn’t even tell me why he kidnapped me.” I said. It was really Butch. My birth mother’s boyfriend. But I wasn’t telling them that. They caught him and threw his ass in jail just like my birth mother. Austin started crying. I picked him up and carried him out to the living room with the rest of us. He stopped crying once he saw my dad. I gave him to him. My dad smiled and held him tightly. This was nice. Actually having a family that cared about you.
