*Warning: Long part ahead*

(Ashley Pov)
I looked up noticing Odell was knocked out. After wiggling my way out of his grip, I grabbed my phone and walked downstairs. I was burning up and I needed some ice water.

"Damn you u scared me." Kayla said after I hugged her from behind. I giggled and helped her pick up the chips she dropped. "Why am I not surprised to see you awake?" I asked smirking. She gave me a evil smirk then reached back on top of the fridge to get some more chips.

"This late night snacking ain't nothing new sis." She said. I nodded remembering all the times we used to sneak out to get food when we were in school. "Go ahead and get a snack so we can talk." She said heading to the backyard. I got my ice water and a slice of pie before going outside.

"What's up?" I asked sitting beside her. She shook her head, "that's what I wanna know." I was deeply confused. "What you mean?" She grabbed my water and took a sip. "Like I know you told me why yall broke up but it just seems so off." I chuckled. "How come? I told you what happened. It was years ago, Kay let it go."

"Ashley, I know you're over it but I'm not it just don't sound like him." I shook my head and looked away. "Just tell me what happened again, please." I nodded and sat back. "So four months after the third miscarriage, I got pregnant again."

[Four years ago-July]
I smiled as Keith picked me up and sat me on the couch. "Do you want anything baby? A foot massage, food, a back rub?" He asked, I shook my head. "Baby I'm fine. And you don't have to carry me everywhere." I said laughing. He shook his head and put his hands on his hips. "Come sit down." I said and patted the spot next to me.

"I'm sorry. I'm just so excited. This is it. My queen, and our little prince or princess. I feel it. This is different." I kissed him and laid my head on his shoulder. "I just don't want to get my hopes up. What if-" He put his hand over my mouth. "Don't do that. Don't say anything. Don't what if anything. Everything will be fine."

Everything was fine too. At least for about six months. Then I noticed that things weren't. I just wanted to believe that they were. We spent Christmas and New Years in Sacramento with the family. But the day afterwards we went back home.

(January)

I hugged my doctor as before laying on the bed. "Hey, how are you?" She asked. I smiled, "Ok." I said looking over at Keith. "Yeah, I heard you had some concerns you wanted to talk about." I nodded. "She's not moving around as much as she usually does. I was thinking it's because of the fact that we're getting closer to the due date but I wanted to make sure."

Soon Keith's phone started ringing. I told him three times to put it on vibrate. "I'll be right back baby, I have to take this." He said walking towards the door. "Keith! Not now!" He mouthed a sorry before shutting the door behind him. I rolled my eyes.

"Someone's gonna be on the couch again." Doctor Yolanda said. I nodded, "He must have forgotten how it is." I said shaking my head. "Well let's get on with baby girl."

Soon I saw my baby pop up on screen. I smiled for a split second until I didn't hear her heart beat. I like having the full experience. "Can you turn it up?" I asked her. She looked worried. "What's wrong?" I said lifting up a bit. She immediately began running out. "It's all the way up!"

I rubbed my stomach as multiple doctors and nurses came in to take me to another room. I wasn't listening to a thing they were saying. "She's fine. It's probably just not picking her heart beat because she's sleeping." I said trying not to worry myself. "Mrs. Powers we're going to have to induce your labor." I shook my head, "She's not ready! I'm not due until April! Just check again! Please!" I begged the nurse as she repeatedly asked me to calm down. "shut up! You want me to calm down while my baby is dying! There's no logic in that!"

I saw Keith ran pass. I immediately screamed his name. He came back and ran beside me. "Baby what's going on?" He said frantically as he wiped my tears. "They said she's dead." He shook his head. "Nah she had a heart beat two weeks ago. Sir, there's a mistake." He said to the doctor who was placing my feet. "Mr. Powers there are plenty of things that can happen within two weeks. Now either sit down or we will call security to escort you out!"

(February)

I laid on the bed watching Keith watching me. "Come to bed baby. I'm fine." He nodded, "I know baby, I know." He pulled his chair up to my bed. "I been thinking. And I-" I cut him off sitting up a bit. "We just had a baby. We can't make another one already Keith. When the times right it'll happen." He shook his head and kissed my hands. "I want a divorce." I sat all the way up. "Huh?" He kissed my cheek.

"I want a baby. And this isn't working. I don't know if it's me or you or what. But I, I need someone who can give me a baby." He said before kissing my lips. "What? We can adopt. We can get someone else to carry our baby." He shook his head. I looked away as the tears started flowing. I got up and grabbed my bags. I started packing my stuff but I stopped once I saw his bags already packed.

I looked at him as he leaned against the door frame."You can keep the condo. It's fine." He grabbed his bags and looked at me. "I love you." He said before walking out of our closet. I followed him downstairs trying to think of something to make him stay but nothing would come up. "If you love me then why are you leaving me?! When  we were 19 we vowed til death do us part. You told me you loved me more than life itself. We are supposed to be together through thick and thin. We can just figure out what's wrong." My vision was beyond blurry as the tears clouded my vision.

"It's just not working, Ashley. Take care my queen." He kissed my forehead and walked out leaving me in the living room of our condo with nothing more than my feelings.

(Present time)

I wiped my eyes and looked at Kaylan. "You told me that you left him. And that he cheated." I nodded, "It made me feel better. I didn't like the idea of saying he left me. I'm sorry I lied." She nodded and wiped the stray tears. "Did you tell everyone else that?" If they didn't ask I didn't tell. Only your brother and your mom know what really happened." I said."Do you still love him?" She asked. I nodded, "A little bit. But people say you always love your first love. But I love Odell. We're moving in together next week."I said smiling. "Eh, I didn't ask about him." She said. I poked her side and we both began laughing.

(Keith Pov)

I walked away from the back door and made my way upstairs. I felt like shit. But that's nothing new. I need to talk to Ashley.
