Christine quietly entered the small, dimly lit room, swallowing dryly against a sudden flutter of nervousness. Lit candles drew her eyes to a large suspended cross at the front of the small chapel, alternating between gleaming bronze and shadow in the flickering light. Unconsciously, her head tilted towards soft clicking punctuating broken, barely audible words. Shuddering, she walked forward hesitantly, finally stopping to sit next to her friend. Shoulders touching, Christine stared silently at pale fingers sliding over wooden beads. Unconsciously tilting her head, she strained, trying to understand the other woman’s faltering voice. “Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our…” The final word of her prayer stuck, trapped behind the rising sob in her throat. Wide-eyed, Paula turned to Christine, hands grasping, unable to speak. Blue eyes squeezed closed as arms encircled, tightening.
“Now I lay me down to sheep…I pray the Lord my shoul to keep…” Smiling softly at her daughter’s slurred words, Paula touched Spencer’s shoulder, reminding her to slow down. “If I should die before I wake…I pray the Lord my shoul to take.” Looking back over her shoulder, Spencer caught her mother quietly giggling. “Mommy, don’t laugh, I can’t help it!”
“I know sweetie…” Arthur poked his head in, smiling brightly at his little girl. “Goodnight, snaggletooth!”
“Daddy!”
“Art, get out of here!” Paula pushed her laughing husband back into the hallway trying her best not to smile. Leaning into the bathroom she turned the light on then pulled the door almost closed.
“More mommy!”
“Spencer.”
“Mommy, pleeeeeease?”
Paula smiled at her daughter, shaking her head. Spencer pouted, sitting up in bed, clasping her small hands in front of her chest. Giving in, Paula pushed the bathroom’s door open a little more. “That’s it. Honey, you still have your night light, remember?”
“Mommy?”
“Yes, hon?”
“Will you stay…just until I go to sheep, pleeeeease?”
Sighing, Paula sat down next to her daughter, tucking her blanket around her neck. After kissing Spencer’s forehead, she gently caressed her cheek, whispering, “What are you so afraid of honey?” The young girl’s solemn expression surprised her. “I don’t like it in the dark…it’s scary.” Paula smiled into her daughter’s brimming eyes, kissing her nose. “Baby, nothing’s gonna happen to you…you’re just going to sleep for a little while.”

great
Man, this story just breaks my freaking heart. So happy, yet so sad at the same time. Here’s what I got from this chapter: Ashley used to go to Aiden when she was all crazy on drugs, Spencer had a boy but we still don’t know how she’s doing (the whole priest being there is not good though, right?), and Paula gave her blessing finally to Ashley because of everything Ashley did for Spencer. I just really, really, really hope Spencer is okay. It would totally suck if you killed her. That whole flashback to when Spencer was a child and she didn’t want to be left alone in the dark. That’s not foreboding, right? I beg of you DON’T KILL SPENCER! Anyway, if you can’t tell already, I LOVE this story! PMS!
omg!!!! This story is so fucking good! I’m confused like a mutha fucker but, I love this story. Please, please, please keep updating. I’ve read What Happens Next, I guess I’m confused about all the flash backs and what happens when. Ashley cheated on Spencer with Aiden how many times? (that’s fucked up) Did Spencer ever find out? It seems like Ashley went home to Spencer right after she had sex with Aiden in the previous chapter. (Ewww, not safe!) Was Aiden boning Glen then? I know who Tristian and Sammie are but, I’m confused about Sara…..This chapter rocked my freakin’ socks!!! Paula and Ashley bonding over Spencer and the baby smoking a joint together made me LMAO. That was so pricless! I thought Paula was going to snap on Ash when she smelled pot. I was so afraid for Ash. And did I say I love Christina. I love the way she supports Spencer and Ashley. I LMAO when she hit Ash up side the head with the newspaper after not specking to Spencer for 4 weeks. And like Spencer, I laughed when Ash’s mom hit her on the butt. Priceless. I also love how you are bringing the girl’s mom’s together and the family. Your family dinner’s are always interesting and funny. I love Glen for giving Ashley advice before she went into the delivery room. This story is great on so many levels. I love your writing style. I just read this story from the beginging so I just catching up. PMS Please and thanks for sharing.
What can I say that I haven’t already said before, you truly are an amazing writer. I enjoy the love shared and the laughter of course. You could always make me laugh and still can.
great
