I Have A Kid?! An Ashley Purdy Fanfiction COMPLETED

Chapter 17

5 years later Starr had regained her ability to walk, Ashley and Lynda are still married, James just turned 7.

"Babe I don't think we're ready for another kid.. James is a handful as it is.."

"How? Starr said she'd help out. He's rambunctious, but he's just full of enriched now."

Lynda isn't wanting another child. She's set on not having any till James is at least 10. I'll be almost 60 by then... I don't want to be one those old couples still changing diapers.

"Starr has a job. She's a therapist. That's full time babe. If you're worried about kids now, you should've thought of that back when you where in your 20's."

That's a low blow. My 50th birthday just passed. And I still look decently young. I won't pass for a 29 year old now, but maybe a 30 year old.

"I was in a band, it wasn't on priority list back then.. babe please.. Just one more? We can stop after this one.."

I can't believe I've stooped to practically begging for a child. Why isn't she saying anything? Is it because I'm older? The sex won't be the same?

"And this is what you want? Three kids by two women?"

"I've spent over half of my life with you. I wouldn't have it any other way."

"I just.. I don't know... What if you die before the baby is older?"

"Babe I'm not gonna die anytime soon. I'm only 50.. Not 80."

"I guess... Or are you just using this an excuse to get more sex?"

"Babe come on, we've been married for 30 years... And you honestly think I'm in it just for the sex? Am I really That boring?"

"It's just... It's just weird..."

"What's weird? That grown man has to practically beg his wife for kids? Or is it weird that you're only 35, sleeping with a 50 year old?"

Her face said it all. All I want is one more child.. And she's not going to give... It's pretty clear she's not wanting more kids..

"Okay.. I get it.. It's clear you don't want more kids.. I'll drop it."

I got up from the table and walked away feeling my heart break. As I walked into the studio Starr walked in. She must've had an early session.

"Dad? I'm home."

"Leave him alone sweetie. He's not in a good mood..."

"Why not? He's usually in a decent mood. What'd you fight about?"

Her college actually paid off. She's so calm, I'm amazed.

"It's just... He wants another kid... I don't think I could handle two on my own.."

"You're never on your own. Granted he's in his studio a lot, but he's making money for you and James. And you know how much he loves James. And James just adores him. I don't see the issue."

"It's just... That he's so much older now... What if something happened to him?"

"Come on Lynda, are you sure it's about his age? Or are you scared he's not gonna perform as well in bed? I'm not a child anymore. Even when I was, I could always hear you two going at it."

I can just image her face going so red right now. I couldn't hold back the laughter. Starr has a way with words!

"You heard us? Why didn't you say anything?"

"Because I knew you were trying to have a baby. And dad's ready for another one. I can tell he is. But are you ready? Or is Ashley the only man you've been with?"

"My love life has nothing to do with that! Besides.. Ashley's magnificent in bed... I've never experienced anything like it.. Who wouldn't leave if it wasn't for the sex?"

"And the truth comes out. So what I just heard is you telling me that granted you love Ashley, but you're in love with the sex appeal. And the fact that he's getting older turns you off. Which would explain why you won't commit in bed. So, to break it down, you're in love with his body. Not him. You only got married to him so you could have him all to yourself. Am I wrong?"

"N... No.. But how... did you?"

"I know my dad's past. He had his way with women. And the fact that he maintained the youthful look both face and body, while getting older proves to be quite easy if you know the brands. So, Lynda, if I were you, I'd suggest leaving him. But do it gently. He's an old soul, with a tender heart. He's got a lot of love to give. But not to greedy bitch like you."

Damn! I never knew Starr was so damned smart. Then a knock on the studio door. Was it Starr or Lynda?  I opened it to find Starr. Her neon green hair settling from her walk.

"Dad?"

"I heard everything. I never knew.. That college definitely paid off."

"But are you okay with this? Didn't you spend like 40 years with her?"

"30 to be technical. But I noticed she wasn't as... willing on special occasions. Especially when 47 hit.."

"What about James?"

"He's not really attached to her anymore... He's noticed the tension.."

"Ashley, I want a divorce."

"For fucks sake I said gently! You lost your hearing!"

I couldn't help but laugh at them. They fight like mother and daughter.

"I know. And you're a greedy sex worker."

That earned me a slap across the face, as she stormed off to pack her bags. Starr just stared at me.

"One: Are you okay? And two: that was a good one."

"I'm fine. I saw it coming. I can still get women in their 30s."

She made a fake gagging noise. "I'm 25 dad. And I really don't want to picture you having sex."

"Oh but you didn't have a problem doing it when I was younger. I remember that little crush you had on me."

"You're old, but your memory ceases to disappoint. I was 12..."

"Yeah, a 12 year old crushing on her daddy. It was cute. But I'm glad you grew out of that phase."

"Oh shut up. Just be happy I defended you. I knew she wasn't right."

"Yeah, yeah. I was a fool and fell for her. I just didn't think she'd stay for this long."

"Like I said, she was in love with the sex appeal. Not you. Fuck those women. Why else am I still single?"

"What about Andrew? You used to hang on that boy for dear life."

Now she wants to kill me. The look on her face could kill a thousand people...

"Andrew was a mistake. And you let me fall for it."

"A mistake, huh? You two dated for like a year."

"Says the man that couldn't hold a woman for more than a couple hours."

"Low blow."

Just then Lynda walked back in with several bags packed this time. She's leaving for good.. And I'm kinda glad. Granted I loved her, but she just didn't seem that connected before James.

"And sweetheart, I want my rings back. You don't deserve them."

"Fuck you Ashley. And take your stupid rings. I hope you die in your sleep."

She tossed them at me, the stormed out the door. Good riddance.

"And another one bites the dust."

"God you're the best kiddo."

I messed with Starr's hair and we went and sat on the couch to binge one of Starr's favorite shows, The Supernatural. James still had a few hours left of school so we decided to just lay around. And she deserves it, Starr's been working her ass off to support James, meanwhile Lynda just stayed home, or went out shopping. Even as a grown woman, Starr still finds a way to lay her head on my lap. I couldn't help but smile and play with her hair. Brings back memories of when she was younger.
