Ashley had finally been discharged from the hospital and Jake was let off as well as he refused to be separated from Ashley. Ashley didn't feel safe at all when Jake was not by her side, so she was relieved that Jake got to come home with her. Katie and Roger were ecstatic that their children were feeling going home. 

They were currently on their way home. Ashley and Jake sat in the backseat with their hands intertwined with each other as Ashley's head comfortably rested on Jake's shoulder as he rested his own on the car seat. 

Katie had glanced at the two for a moment before returning to her original place with a smile slowly growing on her lips. It was currently night as the family was traveling, Jake noticed this root and immediately lifted his head causing Ashley to do so as well. Soon they passed the racing grounds and it was as if things had slowed down just in time for them to recognize Jay and Tatiana making out while leaning up against a car. As they pulled away, Jay seemed to recognize Jay's father's car as his eyes followed its every move with a blank expression on his face.

Ashley felt chills run down her spine as she shivered, Jake pulled her closer in his arms as he stroked her hair. After the long journey, they had finally arrived at home as Ashley was fast asleep. Jake gently shook her as he whispered sweetly in her ear, "Ash, you gotta get up, we're home," he said as she began to stir in her sleep before slowly opening her eyes. 

After adjusting her eyes, she turned towards Jake, who grinned at her, "Good night, sleeping beauty," he greeted as she rolled her eyes with a smile on her face before playfully smacking his thigh, "Your such a dork," she said as her mother opened the door for her, while Roger did the same to Jake as he got his crunches. 

Ashley exited the car as she stared at her home with a small smile, "It's great to be back home," she mumbled as everyone walked ahead of her, "Ashley, hurry up and get in the house," her mother said as Ashley realized that she was the only one left behind. Jake snickered as he watched her try to keep up, Ashley glared at him before smacking his ass which caused him flinched as she was the one to snicker, "It's okay, Ash, you laugh right ahead," he said before leaning down towards her ear, "Let's see what you would do if I returned the deed," he whispered before leaving her dumbfounded and flushed. 

Ashley entered her room and closed the door behind her as she leaned up against it. She examined her bedroom as if she had been missing from it for years until her gaze shifted to her bed, "My baby!" She exclaimed before running and divining onto her bed, "Oh, how I miss you," she said as her voice was muffled by her pillow as she patted her bed before drifting off the sleep.
