“I don’t want to talk about this right now.  I just want to have a nice day…”

“And you think that this is going to be a nice day?  You ignoring me and avoiding me?  If that’s what you want then we really have to talk.”

“No that’s not what I want.  But what do you want Ash?  If you don’t wanna be here, leave.”  The brunette stood there stunned and confused.

“What are you talking about?”  The blonde started eating instead of answering Ashley’s question.  “Oh hell no.  Answer me Spence.  What makes you think that I don’t want to be here?”

“How’s Trish?”  Spencer didn’t need to look at Ashley to see her face drop.

“What do you mean?”

“I’m not stupid Ashley.  I know.”

“You know what??  Spence I’m so lost!!”

“You and Trish damn it!!  I’ve known since the beginning!!  If you wanna run off and be with someone else then just fucking do it!!”  Spencer was standing now, face to face with the one person she swore to love for the rest of their lives.  But at the moment she was too pissed to care that she loved her.  Ashley stood there wanting to speak but she couldn’t form a thought let alone a word.  Spencer, finally tired of her silence, turned and started packing things up.  Ashley just stared at the baby in her arms.  The bright green orbs staring back made her smile.  She knew there was no other place for her, but how could she get Spencer to believe this.

“There’s nothing going on Spencer.  I swear.”  Spencer froze.  Letting the words sink in.

“So you haven’t thought about it?  There has been nothing but business between the two of you?”  Ashley’s head dropped as she knew she couldn’t say no.  Spencer knew what her silence meant.  She continued packing up the things that they had just gotten out.  Her day was done.  The first time in 3 weeks that they were going to spend out as a family was now ruined.

“Spencer can we please talk about this?”

“Talk about what Ashley?  How the life we have made means didly shit to you now?  No thanks I’d rather not hear it.”  Ashley just nodded her head and helped her wife.  There was silence from them as they started back to their home.  Kennedy was also quieter than usual, perhaps feeling the tension.
