I have been thinking about this ever since I got pregnant.

I wanted to get Maria baptized.

I just didn't know if Ash would want to.

I grew up in a religious family, Ash did not.

I was going to bring it up to him anyway.

"Ash" I said, walking into the family room.

"Yea babe" He asked, very relaxed.

"I wanted to run something across you, about Maria" I said cautiously.

"What is it" He asked me.

"I wanted to get Maria baptized." I said, smiling.

"Oh, I don't know Des"

"PLEASE!!" I begged him.

"Well first off we don't belong to a church, 2nd, I don't want to belong to a church and lastly, you know I'm not religious" He told me.

"ok well, we can just go to my hometown church where I was baptized and we don't have to belong to the church and it just takes a few minutes then we sit through the service then go back home nad never return, please." I said.

"Fine, for you" He said, kissing the top of my head.

"YAY" I yelled and started running upstairs to call my mom.

"Mom" I said when she answered the phone.

"yea hun"

"Watch out, were coming back home so Maria can get baptized" I said to her.

"oh my, really! That's great! Did you tell Ash"

"Yup, just checked with him so I think were gonna head out there today to schedule it"

"Ok, hope to see ya soon, love ya"

"Love ya to" I said hanging up.

"ASH!" I called running down the stairs.

"YEA" He called back.

"Can we go to Little Rock today so we can schedule it PLEASE!" I begged.

"Fine, I'll go get Maria, you start the car" Ash said sounding defeated and trudged up the stairs.

I ran to the car and started it up.

Ash came out with Maria and her already packed diaper bag. He strapped her in her car seat and slid into the passenger seat.

He put on the new Rebels EP and started playing air bass.

I turned the radio off when it came to Rebel Yell because I wanted to talk to him.

"Ash" I said.

"Yea" He asked.

"I think it's time we get Maria used to you and the guys and the music."

"Well shes already used to m-" Ash started but I cut him off.

"I mean, the stage you, the rock and roll Ashley Purdy, not the caring,loving dad Ashley Purdy" I said trying to make as much sense as possible.

"Huh?" He asked, very confused.

"You with your war paint on. I think we should start taking her to some of the local,smaller concerts after next year" I told him.

"oh ok, we can start out with me in war paint, then slowly bring each boy in with their war paint" He said, finnaly getting it.

"YES!" I said happy that he understood.
