I was awoken the next morning by my laptop, signalling I had a Skype call.
Darcey must've been woken up by it as well because next thing I new she was walking into my room and climbing up onto the bed and onto my stomach. She just sat there staring at me, on my stomach as I was still lying down.
"Mommy?"
"Yes baby?"
"Is that daddy?" She said the Skype tone still sounding behind her quiet voice.
"Mhm..." I tried to wipe the sleep from my eyes and sat up. She readjusted herself on my lap and stared at Ashton's face as the caller ID.
"Can we answer?" she asked, there was no way of saying no to this kid.
"Um, I guess so." I clicked the green button and waited for them to connect. Just because he's done it to me again I'm not going to let him hurt Darcey.
"Sam, just hear me out oka- Oh her Darce, how you doin, kiddo?"
"Hello daddy," she wiped the sleep from her eyes.
I just let Darcey talk to Ashton for a while, whilst I just sat there, almost supervising the conversation I guess.
It felt weird not talking to him, usually I am a very talkative person but I was way too angry to talk. He had hurt me but not my daughter and I refused to be selfish enough to let her not see him. I'm pretty sure that if Darcey was a bit older she could make her own decision but I'm not going to control her life, like my parents tried with mine.
"Darcey? Can I please speak to mommy?"
"Mhm!" She jumped off my lap and ran off to her room.
"Ashton, I really don't want to talk to you."
"What? Why Sam? I know, the papers lie okay? You wanna know who that was? It was Luke's cousin, it was her birthday so we all went out and what the papers didn't tell you is that the rest of the boys were all ready in the car. I'm so pissed that you don't trust me Sam."
"Oh, Ashton I'm so fucking sorry, oh my god. I mean it's just I've kind of gotten used to people disappointing me that I don't expect anything more." I felt my eyes start to water.
"Baby please don't cry, I can't come and make it better. I guess I have to forgive you after everything I've put you through. Just please. Trust me Sam, I'll always be here for you and Darce, I love you both so much and I'd never hurt you, not again."
"Okay, I'm sorry. I just know how attractive you are and the fact that you can find someone without a kid who's prettier and a better person than me-"
"Stop talking about yourself like that, you're the best woman I will ever be with okay?"
I nodded through watery eyes, after that Ashton change the subject. After about three hours more we'd decided to say our goodbyes and hang up.
I can't believe I was so stupid, I pulled out my phone and text Ashley. Telling her that it was just Luke's slutty cousin. I'm not gonna lie, I was jealous. No other woman should see Ashton when he's not with me, but then I realised that that's pretty much impossible, unless I kept him locked away in a cage, then he'd probably hate me though.
Once I'd regained control of my thoughts I finished the text to Ashley and then walked into Darcey's room.
"Hey baby," I rubbed her back as she was lying face down on her bed.
"You tired?" I asked her.
She rolled over to display her red bloodshot eyes, her dummy placed in her mouth as she sat up and looked at me.
"What's up sweetie?" I pulled her into my chest as she started crying again.
"I don't want daddy to leave us," she mumbled into my chest. What is wrong with this child? She is like superhuman, why did she even think that? She was nearly three, her speech was very progressed for a two year old and she was walking fine. Weird child.
"Hey, what makes you think that?" I pulled her away from me so that she could look at me, it broke my heart to see her so upset. I'm dreading her teenage years.
"I just don't want him to leave" she sobbed again and wrapped her arms around my neck, I wasn't going to tell her that he won't leave because I refuse to lie to my child, what if (under terrible circumstances) he was to leave again? Then she'd look at me as a liar and never be able to tell me anything.
"Shhhh... Mummy's always going to be here and I'll never let you stop seeing daddy."
She pulled off me and gave me a weak smile.
"I love you mummy." she pecked my nose which caused me to giggle.
"And I love you too Darcey," I pecked her nose aswell which made her screw her face up.
"Wanna go and get some breakfast? Anywhere you want, let's go."
"Mmmmm... can we go to Jenny's?" She pleaded with puppy dog eyes, Jenny's was a small cafe/comic book shop in town, it was where Ashley had worked for a long time and the owner of the place always loved to see Darcey.
"Anywhere you want baby," I lifted her up by her waist and threw her over my shoulder, she was in fits of giggles. I walked into the bathroom and stood her on top of the toilet seat so she was a bit taller.
"Brush your teeth, get dressed and then we'll go. Deal?" I stuck my hand out for her to shake and gave her a playful glare.
She crossed her arms and cocked her head to the side pretending to think about it.
"I guess so," she shook my hand and then jumped on me, she was hugging me like a koala bear. She started to slide down so I caught her then put her back on the floor.
"See you in five, Smelly." I stuck my tongue out then walked back into my own room.
