I headed to grab what Ashley had been craving for the past few weeks. Pickles. Although I personally found it disgusting, it was the best I could do for her. It had been about six months since Ash found out about her pregnancy and we were planning on telling our fans about it. As I was about to grab the food, I heard Ashley's voice echo through her LA house. I decided on ignoring the pickle for the time being and headed to the living room where she was.
"Yeah okay I'll come over tomorrow and we can set up the nursery," I heard Ash whisper to her phone. "Okay but please don't knock I don't want Dom finding out."
"Find out what?" I say aloud. I could see her tense as she slowly turned to meet my eyes. She quickly hung up and set her phone down. "Dom it's nothing don't worry about it. Lets just watch the movie." I begin walking towards her fear and anger bubbling up inside me. "Who the fuck was that?" I said putting my hands behind my neck. "Gerald. I know how much you hate him and I thought it'd be better not to tell you," Ashley says placing her hand on her stomach. It had become a habit of hers. I look at her and my eyes immediately turn to the phone on the coach. "What is he doing calling you at 9 pm?" I question. She takes a deep breath, "Some of the baby's furniture came in and he wants me to go over and help him decorate and stuff. He's the father of my child Dom I can't just pretend he doesn't exist!"
"Well he was doing a good job at pretending you and his kid didn't exist!" I screamed and immediately regretted it. Ashley stood up, tears in her eyes. "You know what Dominic I'm done. Im sick and tired of you two. You can't keep on acting like this, both of you are this baby's father. Wether you like it or not Gerald is going to be in peanut's life Dom, and I warned you since the very beginning," She stops and takes a deep breath. I pull her closer to me, she denies at first but gives in. I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her closer to me.
"I'm scared peanut is going to hate me because I'm the step dad. I'm scared they're going to think that I am the reason you two aren't together. Gerald will always be peanut's father and that makes it even easier for him to take you both away from me. I'm so sorry for snapping at you like that, Ash," I mumble into her hair. She pulls away from me and gives me a small smile.
"Baby, you're going to be an amazing father. She loves you so much and I love you even more. We're not going anywhere, Dom," Ash says, covering her mouth realizing she had just announced the gender and said those 3 special words for the first time. "A girl? We're having a girl?" I shout with excitement. Ashley laughs and nods her head. I lean down and press a light kiss on her bulging tummy, "I love you both so much."
