Godparents card

Ashton p.o.v.
Next Weekend

"So What is it?" Derek asks.

"It's Stanford." I say. He smiles and picks me up kissing me. He's happy for me making me happier.

"Have you told everybody?" He asks. I shake my head. "You're the first one to know, I will tell everyone once I get home." I say. He kisses me.

"I'm proud of you." He says.

"We should go meet up with the rest?" I suggest. He nods his head and takes my hand in his.

**

We meet up at a cafe and Andrea is eating her food happily. "How was meeting the boyfriend?" I ask Andrea.

"He's cool." She says holding a thumbs up.

"You guys put her up to the treating him and asking him if he wants water?" Lacey asks. Ash and I just smile, and nod our heads. "It was so cute." Astrid says. "It was, Tristan thought it was so adorable." Lacey says.

"I like him, he likes you a lot mommy." Andrea says.

"He like you too baby." Lacey tells Andrea. We spend the rest of our weekend eating do hanging out, we meet some of Derek's new friends and a cute girl name Maggie. She's nice and I can kinda tell Maggie has a thing for Derek. She looked kinda sad when she found out I was Derek's girl.

Weeks later
August 25

"Happy birthday Ashton and Astrid." Derek says hugging us. "Thanks." Astrid smiles. "Thanks baby." I say and kiss his check. We all eat and hang out.

"It's time to cut the cake." Mom says. They bring they cakes out and sing us happy birthday. Ash and I pull the distracting tactic and bite the cake fast and no one pushes us in. We laugh and Andres complains. "Not fair." He says. We laugh and shake our heads. Mom cuts the cake. "I have a confession." I tell Derek. "What's going on?" He asks. "I want to see my father, I want to get to know him again and meet my half sister Marissa." I say. He nods his head. "What do you want to do about it?" He asks. "I don't know, but I wanted to tell someone." I say. "To not feel crazy." I add he nods his head. He pulls me into a hug, and kisses the top of my head. "You're anything but crazy, it's normal to have these feelings Ashton. I'm here for you, I will support you with whatever you decide on." He says. I nod my head and kiss him. "Thank you." I say smiling. I take his hand and we go to dance and sing with the rest. Damien and Nessa dance to Bailando by Enrique Iglesias. Sebs pulls me out to dance, Andres pulls out Astrid. Papa and mama dance, mom and Nicolas dance. Teresa and Nino joined us in the dance floor. "You still care for Nessa?" I ask Sebs.

"How can I not?" He asks rhetorically. "Just know that I've always rooted for you guys, I still do." I say making him smile. "Thank you Ashton." He says.

I smile, "She was always smiling with you, she was the happiest girl. Yeah she smiles with Damien but you were something different. You took her without noticing."

"She took me without noticing, it just happened. I just want to see her happy, and I'll be happy for her." He says.

"You should see other people." I say. "I tried, but I'm not ready. Not after Cass." He says. I nod my head, shit I forgot about Cass, crap. "Do what ever makes you happy." I say. He nods his head. The song finishes and we go off the dance floor.

"Hon before you guys go to bed I have a gift for you two." Mom says. Ash and I stop. Mom hands us a gift, we open it and it's a book. It's an album. "I know you guys aren't on good terms with your father but we made it for you guys after you were born. We finished it when you guys turned five." Mom says. "It's our gift, happy birthday." She says. "Thank you mom." I say hugging her. Astrid says thank you and hugs her.

"Can we talk?" I asks Derek over the window. "What is it?" He asks. He climbs over my window. I show him the gift, he goes through it. "Is this a sign from god telling me to forgive my father, I believe in forgiveness and I grew up believing not everyone is bad, it's just depending what time you meet them." I say.

"I can't advise you on that, you'll know what to do Ashton." He says. I nod my head. "You'll figure it out on your own, I know you will. You'll make the right decision." He says. I kiss him. "We should really go to bed, we have church tomorrow for Andrea's baptism." He says once we pull away.

"Goodnight Baby." I say. "Good night love." He says and kisses me and then leaves. I close the window once he enters his room.

"So now that I'm Andrea's godmother I can officially scold her and pull the I'm you're godmother card." I tease Andres making her laugh.

"I can use the godfather card." Sebs says. We high five each other.

"Thank you for letting me be her godmother." I hug Lacey. "You were the most fit, and you're my best friend. Andrea and you are so close, I want her to have that she can run to when she doesn't feel comfortable with me." Lacey says making my heart warm.

"I'm so glad she's going to have that." I say. "Now I'll come over a lot more from college." I say.

"I'm so happy." Lacey smiles. Tristan is playing Andrea, she's laughing hard. Janelle is seated with Andres. "Have you talked with Janelle?" I ask. "Yeah, we figured things out. I know she's going to be in Andrea's life since she's in Andres life. I can't prevent that, Andrea told me she stays in her room when she's over. I don't want my child to have my fears." She says. I nod my head.

"How are Andres and Tristan getting along?" I ask. "Andres is keeping his distance, Tristian is being respectful, he says he doesn't want to make him angry. It's his turf and he respects that Andrea and I are Andres' family." She says. "He's so considering. Lacey keep him, he's a keeper." I say.

"He is, look at him with Andrea, Andrea likes him. He has nieces and nephews so he knows how to act around Andrea. He says he's her friend, and Andrea likes having friends. He took us to a fair last weekend and she went crazy." She says.

"Go with your man and your child. I'm go talk with Nessa." I say. She makes her way to Andrea and Tristian.
