Give Into Me

Chapter Nineteen

That night, Ashton and Harley were laying in bed, Sydney asleep on Ashton's chest. He rubbed her back gently to ensure she stayed asleep. "This is so weird." Harley giggled softly. 

"What is?" Ashton asked, looking at her.

"Being here with our baby. I never thought I'd be a mother." Harley smiled and played with Sydney's curls. 

"You know, if you told me a year ago that I'd be here with you, I wouldn't believe you." Ashton chuckled. "I never thought you'd actually like me." 

"What are you talking about? I love you." Harley giggled quietly.

"I know, but when we met, you were a bit of a wild child." Ashton laughed. "Tyler told me it would be impossible for you to settle down." 

"I guess getting me pregnant was all it took." Harley joked. "And, I never thought I'd be here with you, either. I didn't think anyone would want to be with me." 

"Why wouldn't anyone want to be with you?" Ashton furrowed his eyebrows.

"You knew me a year ago, Ash. I was a whore, I'd fuck anyone that'd let me. And, everyone knew the things Raelynn did to me. No one trusted me enough to spend more than a night with me." 

"I did." Ashton held her hand. "Harley, when I first pulled up to this place, I didn't think I was gonna stay. I looked at the surroundings and I thought to myself, 'there is no way I could ever live on a ranch like this.' But then I met Tyler, and he was so welcoming right away. He took me in to meet everyone and I instantly knew I was at home. It feels like I've known the boys forever. I've never had friends like them. And then there was you. You looked at me and it felt like my world stopped, because I had found my new life."

"You're so sappy." Harley laughed and laid her head on his shoulder.

"Let me finish." He laughed, kissing her head. "I asked you out on a date, and it was the best date I've ever been on."

"No, it was not." Harley shook her head. "That fucking spider on my stomach ruined the whole date." 

"That was nothing but a little speed bump." Ashton chuckled. "We had fantastic sex out there. But, then you decided we were just friends and you went off with Chase. When I caught you in bed with him, I swear I felt my heart fall out of my ass." 

"Gross, Ashton." Harley laughed. 

"It's true. I had just realized that I love you, and I find you fucking someone else. It was the worst feeling in the world. I loved you with every part of me, and you didn't feel the same. But then, I made you jealous and I realized you did actually like me. Then, I found out you were pregnant and part of me was so scared that she wouldn't be mine."

"But, look at her, she's so clearly yours. I'm not blonde, but you are. I don't have curls, but you do." 

"I know, she's mine, and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect daughter." Ashton grinned, looking down at her sleeping body. "Anyways, when you told me you loved me, I almost started crying. I had never been so happy. I felt like I had won at life. And then to come home after Christmas to find out that you were actually pregnant with my baby? I'll never be happier than I am with you."

"Ashton, you're about to propose, you're getting so sappy." Harley joked, twirling Sydney's hair around her finger. 

"You're right, I am." Ashton smiled, pulling the ring out of his nightstand drawer.

"Oh, my God, Ashton!" Harley gasped, sitting up.

"I would get down on one knee, but our daughter is asleep and I don't want to wake her." Ashton chuckled. "Harley Quinn Davidson, will you marry me?"

"Yes! What the fuck, Ashton? Of course, I'll marry you!" Harley squealed. Ashton laughed and slid the ring on her finger. 

"You're the only one I'd ever want to marry." Ashton smiled, holding her hand. 

"God, I fucking love you." Harley laughed and kissed him deeply.
