Seems Like A Lifetime

Never Let You Go

"Marry me Spencer" Is all that keeps replaying in my head. I've waited so long to hear those words.

"I.." I start but she cuts me off.

"Look, I know you just finalized your divorce with Troy and things are a bit crazy right now but I love you Spencer and I have since I was eleven and I wanna spend the rest of my life making you happy. So before you answer maybe I should do this properly." Ashley smiles at me then gets up and walks over to the nightstand and takes out a small black box.

She's naked btw.

Mmmhmm.

I know right.

"How long has that been in there?" I asked a little surprised that I hadn't found it before now.

"A while." She smiles as she replies. "Spencer..." She gets down on one knee. I'm finding it hard to concentrate on anything but her naked form. "Will you make me the happiest person in the world and spend the rest of your life with me?"

I smile before practically leaping off of the bed onto the floor and embracing her. "Yes baby, yes I'll marry you."

She giggles and puts the ring on my finger. "I love you so much." She whispers in my ear then places a small kiss on my neck.

I shiver then reply. "I love you too baby." She lifts me up back onto the bed and... well you probably already know what happened after that...

Four more times to be exact.

On to more important things...

"I want to have it in the Fall mom not the Summer." We're at my moms, yep she knows about the wedding. Actually she was the first person we told. We've come so far right?

"But honey it's so much prettier outside in the Summer." She argued her case, but honestly nothing is gonna change my mind. And plus Ashley already agreed to the Fall but I'll let my mom keep thinking she has a chance to change my mind.

"OK mom I'll think about it." Ashley shoots me a look. I mouth 'Not really' to Ashley and she just laughs.

"Good. Now do you two know how big of a wedding you guys want?"

"Yeah mom, we kinda want a small wedding. Friends and family only. No media." I tell my mom.

"Yeah, we don't want the tabloids to get a hint of this cause they"ll be all over it. I can see it now 'Daughter of the dead rockstar Raife Davies to wed a girl?' I don't want or need any of that in my life."

My mom and I both look at Ashley and burst out laughing.

"What?" Ashley ask throwing her hands up defensively smiling.

"You are so nothing like your mother." I tell her.

"And that's a bad thing?" She asks me, smiling.

"God no." I reply matching her smile.

"Just checking."

"Okay girls, enough with the lovey dovey we've got a wedding to plan." My mom interrupts our staring contest.

"Right." We say in unison.

"Spencer have you told your dad yet?"

Oh shit, how could I forget dad.

"Watch your mouth young lady."

"Oops, I said that out loud?" Ashley shakes her head at me smiling. I give my mom my best innocent smile. "Sorry mom."

"You're forgiven. But I'm not sure your dad will be so forgiving, how could you forget to tell him Spence?"

She's right. "I don't know. I guess it kinda just slipped my mind."

"Well you better get on the phone and call him right now."

"I got a better idea. Ashley, you up for a trip to Ohio?" I smile.

"What about Megan and TJ?"

"They're coming too. My dad has been asking to see them anyways."

"Won't Troy ask questions?"

"Yeah, and I'll have answers. He should know that we're getting married. And you know what else I think, I think you should file for adoption of TJ and Megan, so if anything happens to me, you can be there for them and Troy can't take them away from you."

"Spencer, I..."

"You don't have to say anything yet, just think about it and let me know."

"I don't need to think about it. I love TJ and Megan and I would love to adopt them." She finishes with her amazing smile that can brighten up anyone's day. "I love you and I love them and I would love to be a real family with the three of you."

"Ahem," my mom clears her throat.

"The four of you, including your mom." Ashley adds.

"Thank you." My mom smiles.

"OK baby. So lets go get our kids then. Mom I'll call you later OK."

"Okay honey, call me as soon as you land."

"Okay mom, I will."

We say our goodbyes to mom and we're on our way.
