Ashlynn was nervous about this meeting. She knew how people judged her 15 year ago when she graduated fro going against the grain and not dating a royal or a son of a Prince Charming. That only got worse when she found uo she was knocked up exactly Bree months before graduation. She remembered thinking her life was over...however if anything it was the exact opposite.
Her and hunter had a first shot gun wedding she loved. She loved every little bit of the cheep wedding because she had everything she wanted in it. Plus she had her man.
Since then 15 years had passed and she had 4 kids now, two of which were adopted. Se had a adoption agency she was working for and helping people go through the process to become complete. Yet, all she knew was that she would feel judgement here. So who knows why she came back or why she agreed to decorate for it...maybe it was because she was as mad as a hat-
"Mom,....I know I've been acting grumpy about coming here because I could have gone to Christie'a pool party...but I just wanna say thank you for bringing me here." Her sons voice brought her out of her trance. She looked down at the young emo looking boy bashfully standing in front of her.
"Daniel you don't have to-"
"No no I wanna say it. I heard the stories of what you went through to make sure I could have a better life and how I came along at a bad time. I know this must be bringing up....weL'll.....well bad memories." He fell silent after his voice cracked.
"Oh honey it wasn't all bad. I got you." She smiled looking at him. Usually he would snap at her being an emotional teen at all. Yet, he didn't. Instead he just stood there looking bashful.
"I know.it's just I know you had bad memories of your senior year and it's bringing them up now again to be back here. I know it would for me...and I wanna thank you fo putting up with my chaos...I know it's not easy...but I'm proud of you mom..and I, glad we came here so I can tell other people." The 15 year old ginger smiled, brown eyes shinning. His mom fell silent not knowing what to say. Her eyes filled with tears just hugging her baby, pride beaming from her heart. Slowly the femine boy, dressed all in black like the little Emo he was, slowly hugged his mom back.
That's how they stayed for a bit. A boy just hugging his mother, showing his pride and drowning out her fears of this night. Maybe they could always be like this.
Ashton smiled holding him by the shoulders and looked back at her.
"So how long has Anthony been here?" She smirked wiggling her eye brows making her son blush. She could read him like a book and knew when he was sucking up and she knew why.
"What I don't know what you-"
"Is Lizzie is letting him stay for the reunion you can to..but go sks your father, first got it?"
The boy fell silent.
"Is said go ask your fa-"
"I know I know..and I will." He sighed happily before kissing his moms cheek.
"I love you mom." He smiled before rushing off. His mom just stood there stunned. He hadn't done that in years and hadn't done it in public since he was 6. She just chuckled smiling to herself watching him run up to his father.
"Oh my gosh Ash, is that baby Dan-Dan?" Bunny asks walking over. She nodded.
"Yes it is...and oh boy does he ever make me proud." She smiled to herself.
Maybe tonight wouldn't be so bad.
