~Lights p.o.v.~

I had to leave Jake. I couldn't live with him knowing he hated this baby. I woke up in Ashley's bunk on the bus. I knew it was his because of the naked women taped up on the roof and porno magazines under his mattress. Such a perv. But I love him. He saved me from what could've been a nasty fight. I hopped down and walked down the narrow aisle.

"Where's Ash?" I asked like a reflex. Jake was in the middle of the booth, dark circles under his eyes and one black and purple. Scratches on his knuckles. Probably got into a fight. Again.

"The Strip. Out huntin for a Barbie." He was still slurring his words. But he's not drunk. At least. I hopped down from the bus and headed for Wal-Mart. Closest thing to a mall. I had a feeling Ash would be there. He couldn't help himself when it came to malls or mini versions. When I found him, he was talking to a blond and big boobs jutting out from her shirt. I almost turned around.

"Ash! What the hell!" I yelled and he spun around. "What? a man can't go shopping alone these days?" I held back a laugh. He's the only man I know that loves to spend money like a woman. "Get your tiny ass over here. We need to talk." Shit. I gave it away that I stared at his ass a lot.

A few minutes later we where sitting on a bench and I was twirling my thumbs in a circle. I only did that when I get nervous.

"L? What's up?" He asked looking at me. He called me L. Not Light. But L. He never says that.

I sucked in a breath. I had to tell him I left Jake minutes before coming here. "Ileftjake" My mind came to a grinding holt. I finally told him.

He on the other hand, was shocked. The color in his where gone. Whiter than a ghost. "What?" was all he could get out.

So I said it slower. Trying not to cry. "Left Jake. I couldn't stand him being around this baby.. So I left." He still looked shocked. "Ashley, I want you. I want you to help me raise this baby."

~Ashley's p.o.v .~

Okay.... She wants me to help raise a baby? I'd have to give up my party life.. And drinking.. "Uh, let's take this back to the bus.... Or a hotel. Somewhere quiet, and private.." she nodded and followed behind me as we walked out of the store and back towards the bus. I stopped and Light ran into me as we saw Jake walking along the Strip. I didn't know what was worse, the fact he's walking again, or that he has the 'I just got dumped' look. He glanced at us and kept walking. Woah... Either he's doing a really good job of hiding his anger or he wants to get drunk again.

We checked into a hotel and sat on the beds. Across from each other. "L... Are you sure you want me to be the father?" I asked blatantly. "You know about my party side, and drinking.. Are a hundred percent sure?"

She smiled. "Yes Ashley. Jake turned on me.. You didn't. You where there. He went and got drunk. Almost killed me and my baby." I was mystified. I put the side of my head into my hand. A thing I did when I get deep in thought or had to make a choice. And this choice I had to make. Now. But my lifestyle.. Drinking and partying.. All gone.. But to save a life and raise one. I looked at her and said, "Okay.. I'll help you."

~5 months later~

Things have been going great. Turns out L is having a baby girl and she wants to name her after me. And I wasn't having it. "L, I'm the only Ashley Purdy in this family. I plan on keeping it like that." I told her one day. She gave me 'the look' again. "But Ashley! I can't think of any other names! Besides, yours is easy to remember!" She used that same line. "Why not Amber? Ashlyn? Autumn?" I always had back up names. I was not about to deal with two Ashley's. She pouted like a child and I couldn't help but smirk holding back a fit of laughter. "Fine. Mister bossy. I'll pick Autumn."

We where sitting on the bus still on tour and she was five months pregnant. We always shared a hotel room. There was no keeping us apart. Jake was and is history. L hardly ever speaks to him. That I know of.

~Light's p.o.v.~

I couldn't be any happier. Jake is long gone and Ash is forever staying. I can't believe the strides he made over the course of the pregnancy. He gave up partying. I let him drink, but not to the extant of what he used to. We're constantly together.

"So, still having the baby I made eh? Why bother with that player and be with me. Make up for old times sake." Jake wouldn't leave me alone. Constantly annoying me just by the face me and Ash are together.

"Burn in hell Jake. This baby is more mine than yours Sperm Donor. Ash changed. Not just for me, but for Autumn too."

He laughed like I said a joke. "So it's a girl huh? Gonna doll it up like a toy or make it like one of us?"

My hands turned into fists. Still a jerk. I thought me leaving would change him but apparently not. "She's not a it! It's Autumn! You're still a bastard! Just leave us alone!" I walked carefully off the bus. I couldn't hop down like I used to. I knew he was watching my ass move and not my head. I walked till I found a bench and sat down, and cried. He knew how much this baby meant to me.

"L?" It was Ashley. The only person who calls me L. "L what happened?" Next thing I know, I'm crying into his chest. "Jake.." Was all I could manage. I felt his chest fall. Like he was sighing, and when I looked up, his eyes where closed. Yep.. He sighed. "He's just jealous that I have you. And he doesn't. " And he was right. I was and am happy to have this wonderful man in my life. Once you break his life sized ego and really get to know him, Ashley was a teddy bear. A new light, a new life I couldn't have dreamed without him.
