June 26th.
Anastasia's POV.

"Annabelle, guess what today is, momma."

Annabelle smiles and bounces up and down in her crib.

"It's daddy's birthday!  He's an old man today!"

Annabelle furrows her brows.

"Okay, I'm sorry!  I was just playing!" Anastasia laughs. "He's thirty today, Anna.  He may not be old, but he's older than mommy!  Annabelle, your momma was a bad girl!  You won't be like that.  You're gonna be an angel, aren't you?"

Annabelle giggles.

"Yeah, who am I kidding?  You're gonna be a terror!
Anyway, I was eighteen when we met.... daddy was twenty six!  Fine it was legal, but I was just a baby!  Oh but I thought he was so handsome." Anastasia smiles. "Plus I was a wild child.  I knew your grandparents would disapprove so that only made it more fun!" She laughs.

"I slept with your daddy the night we first met.  It was aunt Gabby's birthday.. I was drunk and.. well.. you know!"

Just then Ashton walks in. "What in the world are you telling our daughter, Anastasia?" He laughs.

Anastasia smiles. "Just a story about two dummies.  Happy Birthday!"

Ashton smiles, kisses Anastasia's cheek, then takes the baby.
"Thank you!  Hey baby girl!"

Annabella was such a daddy's girl.  She giggled at the feeling of his kisses on her chubby little rolls.

"Say Happy Birthday, Dada!" Anastasia says with a smile.

Annabelle babbles.

"Aw, thank you, little monster."

"She's so cute.
  So Ash, I know there isn't much to do these days but, what do you wanna do?"

"Would you feel comfortable going to the park and just having a little walk?  Just the three of us."

"Sure!  But first, little miss stinky needs out of this diaper, and into some fresh clothes!" Anastasia baby talks, taking the baby back.

At the park.

Annabelle sat in her stroller looking around as Ashton pushed her.

"Ah!  Ah!" She points to the swings.

"Baby, we can't get on those." Anastsia says.  The entire play area was blocked off with caution tape.

Annabelle didn't understand and started crying.

Anastasia stops Ashton so she can pick her up. "Hey, you're okay, baby.  We can't play on that right now.  There are too many germs."

"Eh!"

"I know it's sad.. I'm sorry, baby.  But when we get home we can play on Auntie Willow and Uncle Emmy's swing set."

Ashton smiles as Anastasia calms Annabelle down.

"You're an incredible mother, Ana."

Anastasia smiles softly. "Thank you."

"Ana?"

"Yeah?"

"When are we gonna cut the crap?"

"What?"

"Anastasia.  I love you.  You know I do.  I've always loved you."

Anastasia sighs. "Ashton-"

"I know, you feel bad for not telling me you were pregnant right away-"

"It's not just that.  I lost it.. I had everything I had ever wanted.. not counting Anna of course.  But I had fame and fortune.  Not just because of who my parents are, but because of who I am and what I made of myself!  I hurt myself, and in the process I hurt you." Anastasia tears up.

"And that.. that fucked me up more than anything.. because I love you.  I love you so much."

"I love you!
.. When you broke things off.. I felt like it was the end of the world.  You make me want to be a better person.  You're beautiful.  You're talented.  And now you're the most amazing mother to our little girl.  I struggle every day not being with you, Ana.  At the end of your pregnancy I was glad just to be used for your horny cravings.  I was just happy to be with you."

Anastasia sniffles. "I was horny, Yes.. but I wanted you.  I missed being with you but I didn't want to admit it."

"Why not?  You know I love you.  You know I want more than anything to be with you."

"I'm scared.."

"Anastasia Juliet Huston.  I've known you for four and a half years.  You're not afraid of anything."

Even more tears fill Anastasia's eyes. "I'm afraid of losing you again.... I'm afraid of screwing everything up again."

"You won't."

"But what if I do?  What if I push you away like last time?"

"I'm not leaving you.  I'll always be here, Anastasia."

Anastasia looks into Ashton's eyes.  Ashton leans in while gently pulling her body towards his.  Their faces touch, and both immediately start laughing.  Annabelle laughs just hearing her parents.

"These damn masks!" Ashton yanks it off his face.

Anastasia pulls her mask down and smiles. "I love you, Ashton."

"I love you too, Anastasia."

The two then share a kiss.  Annabelle laughs even harder and slaps their faces.

"You!  Little booger.. you brought us back together, didn't you?" Ashton tickles her belly.

"She sure did.." Anastasia smiles through her tears.

Both Ashton and Anastasia kiss Annabelle's chubby cheeks.

Ashton then looks at Anastasia. "So.. I guess this means.. Birthday sex?"

Anastasia laughs and rolls her eyes. "Oh God!"

"That's what you'll be moaning later." Ashton smirks.

"Ashton!  Not in front of Annabelle!"

"She doesn't understand a word I'm saying, Ana."

Annabelle babbles and wiggles her hips.  Anastasia chuckles and kisses her cheek.

"Well.. I didn't expect this today.. but I'm happy." She smiles. "Let's just not tell my annoying and opinionated family yet."

"Why?  We have a baby, Ana!" Ashton chuckles.

"I just want to wait.. plus, we might have fun sneaking around a bit." She smirks.

"Ooooh!  Okay, Okay!"
