You are my Fire

Chapter 8

It was right after noon when they woke up. Ash straigtened and looked at Per beside her. He was waking up also. And looked good. They both got reasonable amount of sleep. And their moods were great.
"It's so nice and comfy here." Ashley said laying back "I don't want to get up."
"Yeah, I know. But unfortunatly, we must. It's already late." Sodo turned and kissed her
"Do we really have to?"
"Yes, we do. Come on, you lazy ass." Sodo said with wide smile
"Ok, fine. But I hate you right now."
"No you're not. You love me." Ashley got up, took her clothes and said disappearing in the bathroom
"You're sure about that?" He looked for a second at the door
"Sure I am!" He said loudly "You agreed to marry me." Per added quietly "Who would do that if not woman in love..."
"I didn't hear you!"
"Nothing important!" He yelled back and sat on the bed. Started to think. She really must have love him if she did and still was doing all of this. With whole that drama that had happen and all what's going on. And his stupid ideas and behaviour sometimes. And her trust issues, her past. She wanted to leave. And yet, she's still here. She fought to come back. He thought that it's good that tour is shorter than last one. Also, it would be good to give her something. Something meaningful. He knew that she didn't care about gifts and how much they cost. He thought for a while and something came up to his mind. It was simple but meaningful. Meanwhile Ash came back form the bathroom
"What were you mumbling to yourself?"
"Nothing important. That I know that you love me. You wouldn't be here still if you didn't." He said kissieg her forehead and heading into bathroom
"Ok, fine. Good point." Ash said. 30 mins later they were ready to leave. Ash and Sodo were sitting in a lobby talking about one of South Park episodes when Swiss, Rain and Phantom joined them.
"Soooo...did you guys see newest update?" Phantom asked
"Sweet Satan, what new update?" Ashley asked
"The one with you without the ring and referring into Paradise Lost?"
"Yeah, yeah...we did." Sodo said "Funny story with that referring" He added
"Why?" Ash asked totally surpirised
"Do you remember our first talk? In green room?" Per got back to the memory
"Sure I do, what about it?"
"It all started with your PL tee."
"True!" She laughed "Still one of my favourites" Ash said
"So romantic! Tell us this story!" Rain said. Romantic Ghoul.
"So you can laugh about it? No fucking way." Sodo said
"Come on, it's quite romantic." Ash got back to the memory
"Fine. Tell it if you wish."
"So...it was before your gig. We've bumped into each other and I looked at Per and he looked at me for a few seconds and we left in our directions. A little while later I was checking green room and he was there. I wanted to leave, but he stopped me and asked who I am and am I fellow metalhead and pointed at my tee with Paradise Lost. Than he invited me to stay at his rehersal and it all started from there." She finished her story when she reached explanation for Sodos' referance to Paradise Lost.
"So it's not really Paradise Lost, it's more like Paradise Found" Rain said with wide smile
"You can say so" Sodo said "What's wrong with you?" He asked Swiss who didn't say a word
"What's with me?" He asked as he was somewhere else in his mind
"No jokes about it? You sure you're fine?"
"I'm great."
"You're sure? Or you'll be teasing us later?"
"I don't know. Maybe. Whatever." Sodo looked at him but didn't say anything
"Ok, I believe it's time to go. Copia is waving at us." Ash said. They went to pack their things into bus and to meet fans. Sodo was watching Jutty because it wasn't normal for him. When they finally got into the bus he sat with him and asked
"Are you sure you're alright?"
"Yeah...why?"
"You've been bit quiet. What's going on?"
"It's nothing. Just Copia saw you two together right after the gig and asked if there was another drama or Ashley's pregnant and you didn't tell him about it."
"She's what?!" Sodo chocked "Why...What...Fuck. How he even got this idea?" He never really thought about it. And never talked about it with Ash
"I said that I don't know anything about it and that it's too soon for the baby in the bus." Swiss said "But what if she'll get pregnant?"
"For fuck's sake...Swiss. Baby in the bus? Are you insane? We even didn't talked about it!" Swiss looked at him sharply "Och fuck..." Sodo said and leaned on the couch. What if she's pregnant? No, she can't. He never thought about it. And planned even. He looked at Ashley who was talking with the girls. He stood up and walked into Ash
"I need to talk with you" He said grabbing her hand and dragging her into sleeping area. She was surpirsed and didn't even protest
"What's going on? Why you're dragging me like that?"
"Are you pregnant?" He asked without hesitation
"I am what?" She asked as she thought she misheard him
"DO you have tiny human inside?" He asked more specificlly
"Are you sick?" She asked
"Just tell me."
"I don't know anything about any tiny human in me. Why you're asking? Are you alright?" She said with growing fear
"You're sure?" Sodo asked "Because...you know. We're fucking a lot and I'm not using condoms."
"I would know and I'm telling you, there's no tiny human." Ash said and turned on her heel and she thought 'Fuck, fuck fuck...what I've been thinking about? I forgot about it.'
