A/N:
So Spencer's therapist doesn't really have a name, so her name is going to be Roxeanne Humberts (Mrs. Humberts)
Alright that's all! Byeeeee
**************************************

"Today, we're going to discuss some memories from your childhood. Have you talked to anyone about it before?" Mrs. Humberts said.

I scheduled another appointment with her today because I needed to get some things off my mind. With Vince joining the military, Hannah going rehab. I just wish that one day of my life, just one day it could be normal.

"No I haven't. Except my grandmother when my father died, but I never even tell Vince..", I said.

She nodded and wrote some words on a clipboard.

"Well lets just begin then.", she said softly. I felt comfortable in here with her. But I don't know how it's going to be like when I bring back some of my untouched memories.

It's hard to think back, it's hard to make people understand how it is like.

"Ms. Deals?", She asked me bring me back into reality.

"Sorry, I'm just really nervous.", I said shakily. She nodded and waited for me to say something.

"When I was 10, my life was perfect well until she was gone. Since I was an only child, I pretty much got whatever I wanted. But I didn't care about that. My mom was a stay home mom.....", I said before she interrupted me.

"I understand you want to get all of this out, but let's take it step by step. What was your mother's name?", she asked.

"Her name was Ashely Rose.", I said quietly.

"Did she ever tell you how you and your father met?", she said writing down some more things on clipboard.

*Flashback*

"Mike just tell her!", Mommy said.

Mommy has been trying to get Daddy to tell me how they fell in love. Even though boys are disgusting!

"Ash, she is only 7! She wouldn't understand!", Daddy said. He walked over to me and picked me up, putting me on his shoulders.

"Spencer, we fell in love right at first sight in Highschool. I was a cheerleader, while you Dad was a Quarterback.", she said kissing. Daddy on the cheek.

"Gross!!!!", I squealed hiding my head in Daddy's neck. They just laughed together.

"And then, we got married, and had you!", said Daddy. My face lit up as they said that.

"Alright little munchkin. Time to go to bed!",Daddy said. He piggy backed me to my room. He let me down on my bed and Mommy came in to kiss me goodnight.

"See you in the morning Spencer. Love you.", She said kissing my forehead. Daddy did the same and turned out my light. Closing my door and leaving me in the darkness. I wasn't like most kids, I wasn't afraid of the monsters in the dark, they always left me alone.


I closed my eyes and thought about playing with Sam the next day. Drawing on the sidewalk was going to be fun! Then I heard Daddy scream. I bolted up and ran over to turn on my light.


"Mommy?", I whispered as I opened my door slowly. I wasn't aloud to go in their room at night, but this is important. What if something happened? I opened the door and it creaked, I caught a glimpse of Mommy before Daddy bolted over to me.

"Honey just go back to your room.", he said smiling. I looked at mom, paler than ever.

"What's wrong with her?", I said tears pouring out of my eyes.

Daddy started to cry too.....

*REALITY*

"They fell in love in highschool.", I said. 

"Highschool sweethearts huh... Would you like some tea? It calms people down, and it's perfect for you.", she said smiling. I nodded and she got up making the tea.


"And what happened, when your mother passed. How was your father?", she asked.

"He was heartbroken, he had no where to turn. So we lived at my grandmothers for a while. Until he met Becky.", I grumbled.

"And Becky is your Step-Mother right?", she asked handing me the tea. I nodded and said, "Well not anymore." I took a sip of my tea and I felt myself calm down a bit.


"Let's get back on track then. Your mother, could you describe what she was like?", She asked.

Trying to remember her features. I looked like her, alot.

"She has brown hair, like mine. But had green eyes, beautiful green eyes. Unlike me, I have my fathers brown dull eyes. She was a shortie, but stronger than ever.", I said smiling.

"Seems like it was perfect.", she said smiling.

"It was for a while.", I said looking down at my empty cup. Her timer on her phone went off. 2 hours was up already?

"One more thing, please.", I said to her while she got up.

"Go ahead.", she answered sitting back down.

"Vincent is joining the military. What do I do?", I asked.

She sighed, "Honey you can't do anything about that. Unless you try and convince him not to go."

I nodded, trying to think of something. I stood up and gave her cup back.

"Thank you. I will schedule another soon." Then I opened the door and left.


*********************************

I opened the apartment door and Vince was sitting at the dinner table on his phone.

"Hey babe.", he said setting his phone down. He got up and gave me a hug.

I stopped him and said, "Please don't leave me." He stopped and titled his head.

"Why not?", He asked.

"Because I've lost to much already Vincent. You can't go.", I said hugging him. He kissed my head and said, "Babe....."

"Please just rethink it. It would mean so much.", I said.

He nodded and gave me a kiss. Then he walked out the door, "I have to go to work. I'll see you in the morning munchkin."

I froze, what did he call me? Cold chills went through my whole body.

Then, it made me feel warm inside as well.
