Tex shook his head and stood up, walking over to the window to glance out quickly. He shrugged carelessly, but his face told that he was more concerned than he allowed himself to be.
Colt stood beside the truck, listening as Novalle explained her behavior in a urgent whisper. She threw up her hands when he told her she was acting childish, she sw that he wouldn't understand and didn't even offer to say anymore. She looked at Amy when she walked over, her eyes a bit strange. Colt turned to glance at Amy, his face solemn and grave. I'm fine. I just feel a little feverish, this weather is so much different than Texas's. She smiled weakly as she lied straight to the girl that might one day be her sister-in-law, but her eyes were locked like safes, not giving away anything but a cool indifference that said that she knew she was lying, and she didn't really care. Colt stared at her hard for a moment, then nodded brusquely as if he was deciding that she was really not feeling well. I'm gonna take her home, tell Tex and Ashley that we said bye. He said as he turned and grabbed Novalle's arm gently and led her to the passenger door of the truck. He helped her inside then shut the door, pushed his hat back and sighed. He walked around and wrapped his arms around Amy, his eyes looked hard and old, much to old for a 23 year old. He sighed his contentment, then kissed her.

ashley stood, walking over to wrap her arms around tex. placing her head on his shoulder. is something wrong with novalle? she murmered in his ear.
amy nodded toward colt & novalle, deciding not to push it any farther. if novalle didn't want to tell her, she didn't have to. and if she wasn't ready now, then she could wait. she looked up to colt, frowning softly though she didn't want to take all his time away. she knew she wasn't the only important thing in his life, though it was what she wanted. for him to be able to spend every moment with her. she smiled weakly as he pulled away from kissing her. you know i'll miss you. she said, hugging him before moving away, waving as he turned to get into the truck.

Tex stood silent for a long time, even after the truck pulled out of the driveway. Finally he shook his head and rubbed his eyes. Naw. She'll be fine. He spoke and turned away from the window, pulling Ashley into his arms. He sighed deeply and held her close, breathing in her beautiful scent, contentment drowning his movements.

tex. she pleaded coaxingly. if i'm going to be your wife, i want to know everything about you. she looked up at him, holding him close. please. you know whatever you tell me would never come from my lips again. she said softly, fingers gently tracing his cheekbone before resting her head against his chest, ear to his heart.

Tex held her for a moment, then nodded. I guess she's just gettin' a little lonely, you know, Colt's always busy now and he's datin' Amy so he's not home a lot and their aren't a lot of teenagers around here for her to hang out with. His voice was soft as he held Ashley, knowing that she was right.

ashley shrugged softly. if she ever wants to hang out with amytal and i, that's fine. she said softly. though she wouldn't really have time to visit the mall once the baby was born, and she wasn't in the mood for it now. but tex...i have to know something. she said. did you want to marry me just because i got pregnant? or were you going to eventually marry me anyway? she said, pulling her head away from his chest to look into his eyes.

Tex thought hard for a moment. I think, that if we would have kept going how we were going that we would have been married pretty quick anyways. He replied with a chuckle before he planted a kiss on her cheek. He loved her, with or without a baby, and he knew that nothing would have kept him from marrying her.

Tex laughed softly. You scared me a lot d**n more than I could ever scare you. He smiled, softly telling the truth. He had been terrified when she had told him she was pregnant, but he hated being scared more than he hated anything else, and whenever he was scared he grew angry, quick.

Tex pulled away from her, slightly shocked. He grabbed her face gently between his hands, tilting her face up so she had to look him in the eye. I will never hit you, never. Do you understand me? Never, I mean it. He said, his voice harsh and rough with memories.

looking into his eyes, ashley understood what he meant. her hand covered her mouth, tears coming to her eyes. oh my gosh, i'm so sorry baby. she said, pulling him close to her as she buried her head in his chest, sobbing. it turned out they both had their memories.

Tex held her tightly, his face grim. He rested his chin on the top of her blonde hair and sighed deeply, simply holding her. He didn't know what else to do, especially since she was crying. He had never known how to deal with crying females, and, until just recently, it had been one of his greatest weaknesses.

Tex held her softly, rocking her back in forth, not offering his own memories or scarrs. He wouldn't share them, he wouldn't acknowledge the. As far as everyone that hadn't grown up with him had known, he had no father, no birth. He had never spoken to anyone in his life about his childhood, and he never would. He loved Ashley, but he wouldn't even tell her, he couldn't relive it again. He blocked it from his mind as he rocked Ashley back and forth. Shhh. It's okay, Ashley. It's okay. He whispered as he simply held her, rocking her gently back and forth.
