Momma's Day

A/N This chapter is dedicated to @AspenandMontana Check out her story See the Beauty of Now! It is great! <3

Thanksgiving was okay. Could have been a lot better, but it also could have been a lot worse. I'm so thankful that Ash and I worked through our issues. I don't know why we fight so much but I am happy we have moved past a lot of the crap. I am upset that my dad brought up all the stupid shit yesterday. And on a holiday of being thankful and to be with family. All of that could have waited until another day. This is how he always is though. Always bringing things up at the wrong moment. Well, it is all over with now, no point in dwelling on it.

Ash woke me up by calling me and talking about Black Friday shopping. "There were so many people fighting over a TV! It is ridiculous! I swore someone was going to get hurt real bad!" Ash exclaims.

"Yeah, that is why I don't go out on Black Friday. I don't wanna get in the middle of all that. The deals are not worth it," I laugh in response.

"Well, when we are married I will be there to protect you." That comment was so calm. It was like it was easy for him to say. But just thinking about getting married scares the living daylight out of me. I would love to get married but I never thought I would be thinking about this at 18 years old. I just moved out and am just learning how to be an adult. "Babe, you there?"

"Uh, yeah. Hold on a second." I put my phone on mute so he can't hear me. "What just happened!? Take a deep breath Xo and you will be okay." Taking 5 deep breaths helped me calm my racing heart so we could talk again. I unmuted myself and spoke, "hey sorry I had to do something really fast."

"Did I scare you with that comment?"

"Just a little. We've never talked about that before so it just kinda shocked me."

"Well, the point of dating is to marry right?"

"Yeah, I suppose."

"So we are just in the steps to get married." I guess I never thought about that. It is kinda scary to think that this will end in one of two ways. Either we break up or we get married. That is such a weird reality.

"Yeah, I guess I just never thought of it that way. This can only end one of two ways, marriage or breakup."

"Hey don't even talk about breaking up. This will end with us getting married and having a beautiful family. I'm sure of it."

"Sorry didn't mean to scare you. It just made me feel a little weird."

"It's okay I understand. That is a bit of a scary thought. Would you like to get together today?"

"I'm sorry but I leave tomorrow to go back and I have hardly spent any time with my mom. So today is just gonna be me and her."

"Oh okay."

"I'm sorry but I need to see her. I've spent time with you this break and I need my mom."

"It's okay! I understand you need your mom."

"Thank you. I need to go so I can get ready."

"Bye babe, love you."

"Bye!" I say as I hang up the phone.

I walk downstairs to see my mom sitting in the living room reading a book. "Hey mom! Are you ready for today?"

"I am! I've missed you and I want to just be with you today."

"I promise it will be just us! No distractions."
