{ Hannah }

"Well, that went well" Ashton spoke as he got in the drivers seat of my car. I groaned out as I got in the passengers seat after buckling Cason in.

Let's just say, Thanksgiving with my family was not smooth. They were not happy that I had a boyfriend and that I brought him with me. They really didn't like that Cason and I were going on a trip with him so soon. But it's my decision. If I wasn't comfortable with Ashton, I wouldn't be going. But I am comfortable and I like him a lot- so it's okay.

"I had a feeling it wouldn't go great" I sighed, "It's not you they're mad at or whatever - it's me"

"Did they say anything to you?" Ashton asked as he plugged in the address of the cabin we were going to four hours away,

"Told me that I'm making a mistake dating because I shouldn't go through guys because it's bad for Cason"

"I thought I was the first guy you've dated since Cason's dad?" Ashton questioned as we got on the road,

"You are" I assured, "And with how things are going, I hope you're the last person I date"

My eyes widened as soon as I said that. Did I really just tell him I plan on it being him, I plan on him being in my future?

"You plan on it being me?" Ashton smiled. My face was bright red- I just know it,

"Well" Ashton spoke as his hand found my thigh, "I plan on you being in my future as well"

I smiled and let my hand hold his,

"And Han, don't let your family walk over you. I may not have the right to say this but, I saw some of the ways they were talking about you and degrading you. I saw they way they judged you about your parenting or anything you did" Ashton spoke, "Baby, that's not okay"

I looked down. He was with them for maybe five hours and he saw everything,

"Your parents got mad at you because you let Cason drink Sprite. They called you a bad mother. They got mad at you when you let me change Cason's pull-up. They were telling you how to parent and would tell you the stuff you did was bad parenting" he continued and glanced at me,

"It's always like that. I'm used to it. I've been criticized and judged me whole life" I sighed,

"But you shouldn't be" Ashton squeezed my hand, "Why do you keep going back?"

I was taken off slightly,

"Because of Cason. I want him to have some family"

"Is it really worth it if he has to watch his mom get bullied by his grandparents? Is it healthy for him to watch his mom get berated?" Ashton asked, "Baby, I'm not trying to tell you what to do but I've been in a bad family situation. I watched my mom go through the stuff you're going through. The best thing my mom did what get away"

"I know" I sighed, "I know"

"I know I haven't been in your life long, but I've had experience. I don't want you to get hurt or for Cason to watch you get hurt"

"Thank you" I squeezed his hand this time.

****

We got to the cabin and Cason was sound asleep. Both Ashton and I were still somber from our talk earlier so it was a bit weird.

As soon as we came to a stop, Ashton jumped out of the vehicle and ran to my door, pulling it open then pulling me out and into a hug,

"I'm not trying to overstep, but I don't want you or Cason getting hurt more than you already have" he whispered, our heads pulling back to look at one another,

"I know" I nodded, "I guess I never noticed how bad it was. I guess you never do when you're on the inside"

"That's how it is most of the time. My mom never saw any of what was going on- now it was with my siblings dad not my grandparents- but still, she didn't see it until someone else pointed out how he treated her and me"

I nodded and wrapped my arms around his neck,

"I appreciate all that you've done for Cason and I so far. I've never had anyone truly care like you" I told him, pecking his lips,

"I'll do whatever to take care and protect you two" he smiled, "Now, should we get Cason out?"

I grinned and opened the back door, excited to wake my little guy up so he can see all the snow. Luckily it's still daylight and he can see,

"Cas, we're here buddy" I cooed as I unbuckled him. His eyes slowly opened and he let out a stretch, cuddling his baby blanket and Pluto to his chest,

"Cason! There's snow!" Ashton cheered from where he was standing by the open trunk. That made Cason jump up more. I picked him up and settled him on my hip and closed the car door. Cason was amazed by the white powder covering everything,

"We pway in it?" he asked as Ashton joined us, all our bags in his hold,

"Maybe tomorrow because it's getting late here and the sun will be gone soon" I told him. Cason nodded and we headed up to the cabin door.

I opened the door, letting us get inside before shutting it. I put Cason down on his feet then took my duffle bag and Cason's Lightning McQueen kid suitcase in my hands,

"Hey guys!" Michael beamed as he and everyone saw us, "How was the drive?"

"It was good. We drove Hannah's big ass Tahoe so the snowy road wasn't bad with the four wheal drive" Ashton shrugged, "Now which room is ours?"

"Down the hall, last one on the left" Sierra answered. I thanked her and followed Ashton that direction as Cason stayed with the others and told them all about the snow outside.

We got into the room and sat out stuff against the wall. The room was decently big. It had one big bed in the middle then there's was a little cot bed as well for Cason.

Ashton unzipped his bag and pulled out two hoodies. He walked towards where I was now sitting on the edge of the bed, handing me one of them. I gladly put it on as did he his,

"Ready for a little break?" he asked, stepping between my legs,

"Definitely" I grinned. He smiled back the dipped his head, his lips pressing hard against mine. Slowly I fell back and he was partially hovering me. Our lips continued to move in sync. We were so lost in it that we couldn't hear anything going on around us, that is until a certain voice broke through,

"Gwoss"

Both Ashton and I looked to Cason standing in the doorway. Ashton stood and I sat up. Cason wandered in and tossed his blanket and Pluto up on the bed,

"Come on. Wuke said food done" he tugged my hand, making me look at Ash,

"Food awaits and that kiss will continue later"
