night time talks

Carrie's pov.





Carrie's mind was racing as she drove behind Kelly and Jeanne on the way back from the hospital, she felt like it was spilt in two. Once side focusing on Kelly and their relationship and the other on Ashley and the new baby. The more she mentioned Jason at the hospital the more upset Ashley became. Quickly dialling her brother in laws number she checked the clock, it was 3am she knew she would be waking him up but she knew she would never sleep until she heard his reaction.



'Jas?...' She heard him curse into the phone before clearing his throat. ' what's wrong?...is it Kelly...'



'No Jason nothings wrong.....Ashley had the baby......' She heard him sigh into the phone before clearing his throat again.



'Is she ok....Ashley.....did she do ok?'



'She did fine.....a baby boy......' She waited for an answer. ' did you hear me Jas.....'



'Yea...yea I heard...a boy...that's great......'



'Hang up and i'll call you back on the house phone.....im texting you a picture.....' Hanging up the phone she pulled over into the side of the road, Kelly's car was already to far in front to see now. She waited a few moments after sending the text before calling him back.



'He's...he's so small....'She could hear the hurt in his voice.



'Yea...and light.....he gives good cuddles too....' She could hear Jason laughing lightly. ' Look at his mouth Jason.....looks so familiar.....' Carrie had noticed it the moment she held him, her eyes went back and forth from her wife to the baby. All the clarksons shared the same mouth, she couldn't believe Kelly wasn't noticing it. She knew Jeanne noticed it right away. The older womans face had paled so much Carrie almost felt sorry for her.



'He's got Ashley's nose.....' Jason sounded distracted.



'He does.....Look im making up my office for you.......start driving....'



'What?...no Car...i'll see him another time.....when he's out...'



'Jas I want to celebrate....get your butt down here....you can help me cope with your mother....' Jason laughed again.



'Yea ok....i'll see you soon.' Carrie hung up wondering how she was going to explain this to her wife.





Kelly's pov





'She's a big girl you know......' Jeanne stood behind her daughter at the front of the house.



'She was right behind us......it doesn't take this long......and her phones engaged.....'



'Which means she's talking to someone so go inside.....' Jeanne guided Kelly into the kitchen. Kelly sat watching her mother move around the kitchen, she loved the fact that no matter the time her mother always found something to do there. Hearing the door open she jumped towards it.



'You we're right behind us.....where did you go.....'



'Sorry....had to make a call...' Kelly stood as her wife walked past her into the kitchen.



'Who?...' she quizzed as she followed her in. Her mother tried her best not to look at Carrie as the blond moved around.



'No one important....' Carrie shrugged.



'You stop to call someone at 3am who isn't important?....who was it'



'No one...' Carrie sighed.



'No one...' Kelly repeated. 'Whatever.....' Kelly turned around making her way our the room slamming the door behind her.





Carrie's pov





Carrie jumped hearing the door slam, she could see Jeanne out the corner of her eye as the older woman moved around the kitchen table.



'Thank you Carrie.....' Carrie looked up amazed at the older woman next to her.



'Im sorry what?'



'I will not say it again.......We need to think before we say anything to Kelly about this.....'



'We?....you keep saying we......' Carrie was really freaking out.



'Carrie you saw the same thing I saw.......that little baby looks exactly like my three kids did when they were born......' Carrie took a seat next to the older woman.



'Yea it was hard to miss.......i dont even know how Kelly's going to take this..' Carrie rested her elbows on the table as she rubbed her tired eyes.



'She'll be angry......she hates people lying to her....you know that.....'



'Yea....'Carrie agreed. 'So what now?'



'Is Jason coming?....you called him right...'



'He's on his way.......'



'When he gets here...i ..i think you should talk to him......'



'Me?....you dont want to...' Carrie sat looking confused at her mother in law.



'You know if I do it. It will end in a screaming match and no one wins......' Jeanne rolled her eyes at herself .' and you seem to know how to talk to my children better than I do about these things.....' Carrie sat smiling at the older woman.



'That choked you didn't it......man look at your face.....' Carrie sat giggling as Jeanne stood.



'Im going to check on Graham......Tell Jason to find me when he gets here.....'



'Yea ok....mom.....' Carrie covered her mouth as she heard the older woman groan.





After making up the office for Jason she stood in front of her bedroom door, the light was on meaning Kelly would still be awake. Probably to start another fight. She really didn't want to go inside but knew she had too. Stepping into the room she saw Kelly laying back in bed with a book in her hand.



'Good book?....' She could have kicked herself for letting that fall out of her mouth.



'You and I know we don't do pretend conversations.......lets just ignore each other......'



'It was Jason....' Carrie pulled her phone out of her pocket throwing it on the bed next to her wife. ' Check the calls......' She stood watching as Kelly did, a little part of her hurt that her wife didn't just believe her.



'Ok....' she said throwing it back. ' and why are you calling my brother at 3am.....' Carrie shrugged kicking off her shoes.



'Thought he might want to come and see Ashley and the baby......'



'It could have waited till tomorrow.....'



'I didn't want him feeling left out....' Carrie finished undressing as she slide in next to her wife.



'Do you have to sleep naked every night?.' Kelly sighed.



'I do...' Carrie answered. ' since someone likes to sleep in my t-shirt....' Kelly looked down.



'I like it....'



'I know ...'Carrie smiled.



'It's comfy....'



'I know...' Carrie repeated. She felt Kelly snuggle more into the bed as she turned out the light.



'Is he coming........'



'On his way......'



'Good.....' Carrie held up her arm letting Kelly rest her head on her shoulder. ' I can't believe im an aunt....'Kelly whispered into the dark.



'Yea....' Carrie whispered back. ' I can't too. '
