Gray, unasked, spent the post-dinner time playing with Elly. The little girl was delighted at this unexpected pleasure and getting her to then go to bed was a little bit difficult. It took much persuading from Ashley, Spencer, Gray and Mr. Ruffles before she consented to go. Even then, she’d only do so if they all participated in the night time story, and if they all tucked her in. Spencer wondered if anyone else had noticed the sudden emergence of three parents. It couldn’t possibly have been lost on the other two.
Spencer emerged from doing the last of tucking Elly in to find Gray alone in the living room.
“Uh, Ashley said she was ducking out for awhile. She’ll be back in an hour.” He said, looking unsure of himself.
“Oh. I wonder where she went?” Spencer mused. She knew full well that Ashley had just bailed. She didn’t blame the girl. “Coffee?”
“Uh, tea if you’ve got it.”
Spencer stared at him. Gray never drank tea. “Tea?”
“Yeah. I don’t wanna be up all night.”
Shrugging, she made them some tea and then sat on the couch. The small talk held them for some time before an uncomfortable silence took hold. Gray was the one to break it.
“Spencer I’m sorry.” He began. She let the silence continue. In her mind, he had a few things to be sorry for. Honestly, so did she, but who cuts in when someone else apologises? “I… I’ve been an awful father of late, and I haven’t been there for you when it counted.” He sighed. “And I know it’s not just since we separated, it’s longer than that. I know that you probably don’t believe this, and I don’t expect you to until it happens, but it’s going to change. I’ve been working so hard lately, in Phoenix and here, to get this project done. But it’s taking second place. If you need me, I’ll be there, come hell or high water.”
“Gray… it’s ok.” She answered. And surprisingly, it really was. She was ok with whatever he did. Spencer guessed she’d just got used to not having him around. She didn’t need him any more. “I don’t really need you. But you should be a father to these children.”
“And I will be.” I have no commitments from a week before the birth. I couldn’t get out of that last Phoenix run but once this baby is born, I’ll be around. When you want me, and when you need me. But I know… I know this is your life now. I get that. So, I won’t intrude when you don’t want me there.”
“Gray, you’re no intrusion. We have to work out our lives together and separately. I think we can do that” she said reasonably.
“I’m glad Ashley has been here for you.” He replied seriously. “I’m so glad someone has been. It doesn’t stop me from being angry at myself, because it should have been me. But I care about you Spencer, and I’m glad you’re not alone. She’s a great person.”
“She really is” Spencer agreed. Her brain was screaming ‘you have NO idea!’ Now was probably not the time to tell Gray she’d cheated on him. That would probably ruin the truce they seemed to have achieved.
“I should get going” he said, and he sounded disappointed at it.
“Ok.” Spencer looked at her watch, it was later than she thought. “I’ll call you ok? I’ll give you the date of my visits and you can see which ones you can come to.”
“I’d love that. And Spencer…” he waited for her OK.
“yeah?”
“Thanks for not hating me.”
She smiled. “It’s no problem.” And it wasn’t. Spencer was amazed. She didn’t hate Gray. She still cared about him, she could feel that. But there was enmity inside her. She seemed to have reached that strange nirvana where she cared, but not enough to let it hurt her. Wow. Progress.
Now to see if Gray actually kept his side of the promise. She wasn’t expecting anything. He’d let her down so much. But something told Spencer that he was serious this time, and she usually trusted her instincts. Only time would tell.

etchings? nah – dunno how to say that in German. I could tell her I have a rabbit, though, and then ask to go to the toilet. What do you mean by etchings anyway? Oh, and it’s not her who’s gay and who I appear to be crazy about! :-P she’s just cracking to look at! great post, anyways, love it, just wish Ash and Spence would sort themselves out. Would have been interesting if Gray had asked questions about them – or said something like “I’m glad you’ve found someone that makes you happy”. Maybe if he said it in front of the two of them they’d see how everyone else sees them and then bloody well GET TOGETHER! right, now it’s out of my system, I shall continue to enjoy my quiet night of the week :-P Jx
Bloody Christ! This was a bitchin’ post Clomle! Awesome…but I’m still a little sesnitive after what you said in your comment on my story. I mean really. What do you expect from me? Perfection? It was 3am in the morning and I was confused and my brain felt all swampy and I was sleepy and stuck as to what to type. So what if I said “she expressed her amusement by laughing”? I’m a potato brain who can’t think properly at 3 in the morning. You mock me and I think you should stop soon. Actually…don’t. It makes me chuckle and you really are just doing me a favor and giving me honest feedback. And what the HELL is ‘haddock’? I have no idea. Is it a type of fish? ‘Cos that’s what it sounds like. Please. Feel free to make fun of me or “express your amusement” by leaving comments about my hilariousness. I enjoy it a whole lot. But your the only one aloud to do that. Everyone else has to leave comments abouthow much they love me. J/K. They can leave comments about how much they love the story. :) Or how much they hate it. Whatever. But enough about me and your comments. As I said, this was so great. And can I ask you this? Where did you put the Gray that we all know and hate? You’ve replaced him with a zombie that does all the right things and makes Ashley jealous. What does he have to make her jealous, besides a previous relationship with the lady she loves? I mean…it’s great that he’s back in Spence’s life and all but really. Come ON! We don’t need some ex-husband to come into the picture and screw things up between our two fave girls, right? Right. Update soon, and I mean both of them missy. No goofing off for you. 28 Days and Best for ME!!! Kisses and Hugs, dah-ling. *gag…* Where the HELL did that darling come from? Certainly not me.
Sorry ’bout the long ass comment. :P

oooh, nice update. gray surprised me a little. at first i thought he was going to try and start wooing spencer back, luckily that didn’t happen. then i thought he was going to say something about spencer and ashley being a couple and how he was okay with that…but that would be odd, since he can’t possibly be that observant after so little contact. maybe after a little more time with them…wouldn’t that be a kicker? two posts tomorrow…don’t start teasing us clo (everyone seems to use clom…so i want to be different). i’m still so worried about 28 days ashley and her broken heart. alas…

Wow, you told me you updated and still ALL THESE PEOPLE beat me to reading it. It’s like we’re all sitting here waiting for it…or else one of them is responsible for your CAPTURE! And, hey, don’t give me grief for not sending help – didn’t I just tell you I mobilized every single person I knew to come find you?! Jesus is on the case, for …um, Christ’s sake. Is that not enough? Maybe all this is just a test from your sensei.

Ashley bailed because she’s annoyed like me. Stop making it so hard to hate Gray. I really like him but, I don’t want to. He’s like Aiden……I loved this update, though. I wonder if Gray really thinks Ashley is just her friend. Not only is he a tight ass but, he’s stupid. I’m not looking forward to him being around more when the baby comes but, I can’t wait until you posted again.

The chapter was good, but i think she should have…not gotten along with gray again. that sucked. but a peice of me hopes gray finds out spencer slept with ashley while they were still together. But thats just the side of me craving drama. lol PMS

Awe, Grey didnt have to become Mr. Limpet after all. I’m really glad to finally be seeing parts of Gray. Rather than hear opinions of Gray. He does care, he just doesnt know the best ways to show it. Reminds me so much of my father, my family life. (only my mums not in to girls) I’m telling you…its all about the MR. Ruffles one shot…if you dont belive me read the comment i left on the last BFM!!
