Having two kids with you at all time had become stressful for the couple, especially when Ashtons two kids from his prior relationship equaled up to four. They didn't have many complains over the years but having a eight year old, four year old, two year old and new born was very stressful and time consuming. The couple both worked jobs that took them away from each other for long periods of time. Julia was taking time off since she'd given birth less than three months ago.
Motherhood came naturally for her, she always knew that no matter who she ended up with she'd become a mother.
It was still hard since Ashton had good days but also very bad days where he wouldn't communicate his feelings with her. He missed Olivia till this day and he missed his son just as much. The guilt never really left him no matter how better he allowed himself to get.
"Have you spoken to Imani?" Julia asked rocking their newborn to sleep, "Yes." He said keeping it short.
"Did she say when she's coming back?" "No she didn't make that clear."
"I don't mind watching them babe I really don't but it's kind of stressful especially when I just gave birth." She said gently
"Well I'm not asking you to watch them." "Ashton"—
"My kids are staying here so I don't need your opinion on it. It's not up for discussion."
"I don't mind. Don't act as if I'm complaining when I'm not and if they're here I'm going to watch them whether you ask or not. Don't you think it's a little irresponsible that she just dropped them off two weeks ago and hasn't been back?" She said softly
"She needed a break." "Do you even love me anymore?"
"Yes." "Then why have you been so dry? And rude towards me for the last couple of months."
"I haven't been rude or dry Julia. Im going through my own problems and I don't feel the need to reassure you anymore. It gets very tiring and I've reached my limit."
"We've been married for almost five years and it's like you refuse to believe or at least try to understand that I love you. You doubt everything and I'm exhausted. You make me feel bad for the smallest things. I love you Julia I do but you're pushing me away. You're breaking your own heart with all this overthinking and assumptions."
