Ok so this arose out of one of those nights where I was desperately trying to sleep but this was just clogging my brain. And I literally have soooo many one shots in my docs waiting to be completed but here I am starting something new.
So I wrote a story a while back called 'Anna' and I honestly loved writing Auslly as parents with a kid so I decided to bring that back. But this time I'm keeping it less AU as I'm using Auslly's real children (Alex and Ava) and I have a folder full of ideas for chapters, most of them I came up with and the others are based off of episodes from Friends and Modern Family.
This one for example, is based off a Friends episode.
So lets not spend so long on this and lets get right into it.
I talk too much!
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
The fearsome foursome sat calmly in the Moon lounge as they intently watched the Zaliens movie on the flat screen. Everyone except Ally that is.
She had never had an interest in the science fiction movie, but her two best friends were back in Florida for two weeks and Ally decided to let them do what they wanted. When it came to Zaliens, she was always outnumbered 3 to 1. She could use the pregnancy card by saying 'I'm pregnant, so I should get what I want' but she knew none of them would go for that, except for her husband who was pretty much wrapped around her finger.
Thus while she sat idly staring at the screen, suffering though what she considered an extremely boring movie. However she was making them watch at least one Harry Potter movie before they went back to LA.
Ally had given up trying to understand what was going on in the movie and looked down at her growing baby bump. She smiled fondly as she rubbed her stomach. She was more than excited for the little bundle of joy and she knew Austin was a mixture walking ball of nerves but he was also extremely excited and she found that adorable as he seemed more excited to design the nursery, even though she had more of an eye for design.
She must've been lost in dreamland as she was pulled out of her thoughts by the loud screams of the other three as the movie ended and the credits began rolling.
"Holy shit! That ending is awesome every time!" Austin praised as his other two Zalien-lover friends nodded gleefully in agreement. He looked back at his wife, finding it odd that she was rather quiet, but once he saw her rubbing her stomach comfortingly, he smiled fondly at her and leaned over to kiss her growing stomach.
She swooned and she met Austin's lips in a quick peck. Dez melted at the sight while Trish just rolled her eyes but smiled anyways at the adorable expecting couple.
"When's the due date again, Als?" Trish asked bringing her feet to rest on the coffee table in front of them.
"October 14th." The couple responded and Trish nodded while Dez rolled his eyes at the curly haired Latina.
"Just do the math Trish, it's not that hard. If you add nine months to the date Austin and Ally had sex, which was Valentine's day, you get October 14th." Dez responded.
The other three friends gave him weird looks. "How do you…? What makes you think that we…? You know what, maybe it's best I don't ask." Ally responded and the other two nodded in agreement while Dez just shrugged.
Trish shook her head at the eccentric redhead and turned her attention back to the couple. "So when are you guys gonna find out the gender." She asked excitedly and Dez joined her in the excitement.
The couple glanced at each other before turning back to their excited friends. "Since my monthly check up is next week, and I'll officially be 20 weeks pregnant, the doctor said that they should be able to tell us the gender then."
Trish squealed in excitement but Austin cut her happiness short. "Dr Lennon will be able to tell us the gender then, but Ally and I decided we wanted it to be a surprise." Austin responded and Ally nodded along.
Trish and Dez audibly groaned. "You guys are no fun." Dez responded.
"Oh come on! Okay, what if it was a surprise for you guys but not for me and carrot top over here." Trish replied and Dez nodded excitedly.
Austin and Ally quirked their brows before shaking their heads. "No way. You guys can't last two minutes keeping a secret." Austin argued.
Trish and Dez gasped. "Okay what if coppertop didn't find out, but I did." Trish responded causing Dez to gasp again.
"Not gonna happen Trish. It's going to be a surprise for all of us." Ally replied turning to Austin and Austin nodded returning her smile.
Trish groaned again. "Fine. Well did you guys start picking names yet?"
Austin and Ally perked up at the topic change. "Actually, I have." Ally responded.
Austin furrowed his brows but his smile still remained. "Really? Me too."
"ME TOO!" Dez responded. The couple shrugged and motioned for Dez to tell them.
Dez perked up. "Okay if it's a boy…Dez. And if it's a girl…Deza." The three gave him a strange look.
"Ooh what about if it's a girl… Trish and if's a boy…Trisho." And Dez and Trish high fived.
"Umm we'll keep those on the back burner. But nice names." Austin replied unconvincingly but Dez was too excited to notice.
"Plus, we're sticking with the A theme." Ally piped in.
Trish rolled her eyes. "You guys are lame." The couple brushed her off and turned to look at each other.
"What are your names, babe?" Austin asked his wife.
Ally smiled, "Okay if it's a girl…Athena, like the goddess of wisdom." And Austin stared at her blankly.
"Really? That sounds like an old librarian name."
"It also sounds like the name of that girl who beat you up and called you 'pretty boy' in elementary school, Austin." Dez piped in earning a glare from the blond.
Ally scowled at her husband, "Okay well what's your name?"
"Okay, prepare yourself. If it's a boy… Axl." Ally stared at him wide-eyed.
"Is our child also a high school dropout, who was a wannabe rockstar but flunked and now sells pot to teens?"
"That was oddly specific." Austin furrows his brows.
Trish shook her head at the musical duo. "Okay how about you allow each other five vetoes on the name picking." Trish suggested and the couple nodded before turning to fully face the other as if going head to head.
Ally cracked her knuckles before starting. "I'll start, if it's a boy Alfred."
"What is this the 1800s? Veto." Austin responded before shaking his head and continuing. "Girl, Arlo."
"Veto. Girl, Alessandra."
"Veto. Boy, Ajax."
"Like the cleaning product? Veto. Boy, Adrien."
"Veto. Okay I really like this one, if it's a girl, Aspyn."
Ally scowled at the name before replying. "Veto." Austin furrowed his eyebrows at her reaction.
Dez scratched his chin in thought before stating, "Is it just me or is the name Veto kinda sounding more enticing?" The trio stared at him incredulously before returning to the task at hand.
"What's wrong with the name Aspyn? I happen to really like the name." Austin replied.
Ally sighed, "Nothing, it's just…there was this girl named Aspyn at my middle school who was kind of a bitch. She never bullied me personally, but I just don't want our child to be named after such an awful person." Ally replied and Austin's face softened as he rubbed her shoulder. "Now if you'll excuse me, our baby thinks my bladder is a squeeze toy. We'll continue this later, Austin." Ally stated before getting up and making her way to the bathroom.
The remaining three sat in silence for a while before the quirky redhead broke it. "No but seriously, is nobody else loving the name Veto?"
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Okay Mr and Mrs Moon, I am pleased to inform you that your baby is perfectly healthy and the pregnancy seems to be running smoothly." Dr Lennon smiled at the happy couple. Austin and Ally returned her smile before turning towards each other and smiling.
Austin pecked Ally on the forehead before rubbing her stomach fondly. Dr Lennon placed her hand on her heart, swooning at the adorable young couple.
She picked up the yellow manila folder and scanned through it. "Another thing, would you two like to know the gender?"
"No." the pair responded simultaneously before Austin continued, "We want it to be a surprise."
Ally pursed her lips in thought, "Buuuut, let's just say we did want to know? Would that information be right there in that folder? The information telling us the sex of our baby is right there in your fingertips? Telling us if we're having a boy or girl? An Adrien or Athena? A Dez or a Deza? A Trish or a Trisho? "
Both Dr Lennon and Austin stared at the brunette suspiciously. Dr Lennon nodded slowly.
Austin nervously chuckled before turning to his wife, "Ally I thought we agreed that we didn't want to know?" Ally huffed at him and Dr Lennon stood up.
"I'll give you two some time to think about it." She made her way over to the door before turning around, "And I know it's not my place to say this, but please don't name your child Trisho." She finished before leaving.
The couple turned to look at each other. Austin furrowed his brows at his wife, "Why do you want to know the gender all of a sudden? We agreed to keep it a surprise." He reinforced.
"Ally sighed, "I know but when we were picking names the other day, it just reminded me that we know nothing about this baby. We don't have a name, we don't know the gender, we don't have a colour scheme for the nursery. And the baby's gender is right there!" Ally dramatically pointed at the folder on the table, no more than two feet away from them. "And I don't know if you know, but I like order, I like knowing. Unlike you who just goes with the flow."
Austin sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, he didn't take her jab too seriously as he knew her moodiness was part of the pregnancy. "Ally, I understand you like order, but we agreed to keep it a surprise and normally I would let you have your way since you're the one carrying our child but I really want it to be a surprise." He calmly responded.
Ally sighed and pursed her lips. "Fine."
"Thank you." Austin replied with relief, he was never used to getting his way.
"But only because you go to the store at ungodly hours to satisfy my cravings and always give good massages."
Austin smiled wolfishly, "Not to mention I always find effective sex positions that don't hurt your stomach."
Ally rolled her eyes, "Just go grab my clothes and my purse." She waved him off and the blond laughed before turning to retrieve her items. Once his back was fully turned Ally peeked behind her to make sure he wasn't looking, she slyly reached her hand over and lifted the top of the folder open.
However before she could even see the gender she heard a loud gasp behind her and she hurriedly closed it. She turned to see her scowling husband.
"You looked!" he accusingly pointed a finger at her.
"I peeked, but I swear I didn't see anything." She responded.
They heard a knock before their two best friends entered. "How was the checku- GASP. Is that the baby's gender?!" Trish squealed pointing to folder on the side table.
Austin sighed, "Yes, but no one else is looking at this folder." He responded angrily.
"Austin, I didn't see anything! It was too quick for me to read!" Ally pleaded but he huffed at her.
The doctor re-entered, immediately sensing the tension in the room. "You guys decided on if you want to know or not?"
"No, we don't want to know." Austin replied, still bitter. The doctor nodded and proceeded to grab the folder from the table, telling that they can call her, if they change their minds.
The doctor left and Trish bounced from foot to foot anxiously. "I'm just going to go…use the bathroom." She announced unconvincingly before racing out of the room.
Not more than five minutes later she ran back in with a beaming smile on her face.
"Woah! That was a quick trip to the bathroom." Dez mused. Ally rolled her eyes and narrowed her eyes at her best friend.
"You know the gender, don't you?" Ally quirked her brow.
"Noooooo."she replied unconvincingly and the other three narrowed their eyes sceptically at her.
"Okay fine, I do know." Trish confessed.
"Trish!" the expecting pair scolded while the redhead bounced in excitement.
"I had to know! The suspense was killing me. I promise I won't tell anybody." Trish replied.
"Tell me. Tell me. Tell me." Dez bounced like an excited toddler. Trish shot him a warning glare and Dez groaned, "I promise I won't say anything. Now tell me!" Trish squealed and pulled the towering redhead in level with her mouth and cupped her hand around it so the pair couldn't hear.
"Aww that's so cute!" Dez gushed and he and Trish both squealed and jumped excitedly.
The pair rolled their eyes before ushering them out so Ally could change out of her hospital gown.
Ally sighed and reassured herself, 'Just four more months until you know Ally.'
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Since there was more than enough space, Trish and Dez were staying with Austin and Ally while they were in Miami. Both the car ride home from the hospital and dinner consisted of Trish and Dez squealed like two little girls while giddily whispering to eachother, and it was driving the couple insane as not only was it making them anxious to know the gender.
Austin had gotten over the whole 'Ally peeking into the folder' but he was still sceptical about if she knew or not. He wanted to ask her but he knew she would say she didn't know and then another argument would ensue and if he was afraid of her normally, he would hate to argue with her and her pregnancy hormones.
The next morning Trish and Dez decided to go out to get breakfast, but Austin and Ally knew it was to get away so they can gush over the baby more. Austin and Ally decided to stay home, however as Ally wasn't feeling well.
Austin was in the kitchen, washing dishes when Ally entered and sat down on of the stools by the counter. Austin turned and smiled at her and moved to go boil water for a cup of tea. Because a cup of tea and a good ole Austin massage always made her feel better.
"Feeling better, babe?" he inquired, pecking her cheek and sitting next to her.
She smiled warmly at him before replying. "Much better. I think I just needed to rest. The baby kept me up all night because I kept having to get up to pee."
Austin sighed in relief, glad that it wasn't something detrimental to the baby and he moved to go prepare her cup of tea.
Ally took the cup of tea from him and he sat down next to her with his cup of coffee, made with more cream and sugar to even be considered coffee.
They sat in comfortable silence for a while, while they sipped on their beverages but Ally broke the silence with something she had been thinking about earlier.
"You know I thought about it, and the name Aspyn is really growing on me. Who cares if she was a bitch in school, our child wouldn't be and I know you really like the name."
Austin smiled at her, "Really? I'm glad because I really like the name, I think that- wait." He cut himself off and narrowed his eyes at her to which Ally quirked her brow while swallowing the mouthful of tea she had.
"You just admitted that you liked the name Aspyn, which was my name for a girl. You know it's a girl!" Austin stood up pointing a finger at her. Ally rolled her eyes at her husband's dramatic antics.
"Austin I told you I don't know the gender." She reinforced calmly, not sure how to get that through his thick skull. "I'm just saying that if we had a girl, we could consider the name Aspyn because the name grew on me."
Austin's eyes were still narrowed at her, eyeing her suspiciously, but he sat down slowly. "Unless!" he stood up, pointing his finger at her again and Ally groaned and rested her head in her hands whilst he continued. "Unless, you admitted you liked the name Aspyn because you knew that would make me feel better, when you actually hate it and you know that you know we'd never have to use it, because we're having a boy!" he concluded proudly as if he solved a murder mystery.
Sometime throughout his ramble, Ally raised her head from her hands to stare at him incredulously. "Austin, you are blowing this way out of proportion and you're stressing me out and all this stress is not good for the baby."
Austin ignored her remark and continued. "I may be a little slow sometimes and you may outsmart me in some things, but not this time Ally Moon! This time the student has become the master, you are not gonna fool me this time." He concluded before leaving the kitchen to do god knows what.
"How am I fooling you, Austin? I don't know the gender!" she called out after him but he waved her off and continued walking.
Ally sighed and looked down at her stomach. "Baby, I don't know if you're a boy or girl but, as adorable as it may be sometimes, I really hope you do not get your daddy's intelligence."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Trish and Dez had returned throughout the course of the day, with shopping bags and scolded the couple when they tried to look, saying that it was for the baby and the colours will give it away and they raced to the guest bedrooms they were staying in before the couple could respond.
Later that day, Ally was calmly lying down on her sofa, writing a song when the 'three stooges' as she nicknamed them in her head entered the room, each having a shit-eating grin on their faces. Ally rolled her eyes and sat up as they looked like they were about to tell her something.
"What did you guys do this time?" she asked, a little nervous for the answer. The trio looked at each other and giggled girlishly before Austin sat down beside her with an evil smirk on his face. Ally just quirked a brow in response to his smirk, which both intrigued her and turned her on. Stupid hormones!
"Well Ally, let's just say now you and I both know the gender of our baby."
"You found out!" Ally gasped, not believing her husband would go against himself to find out just because he assumed she did.
"Yup. I asked Trish and Dez." Ally looked up at her two friends who shrugged.
"He told us that you knew."
Ally groaned, "Austin," she started calmly, "I don't know what language to say it in, but I'm telling you, I do not know the gender."
Trish and Dez sensed an argument coming and slowly backed out of the room.
Austin smirked, still not buying it. "Yeah you do."
"No I don't."
Austin rolled his eyes, "Oh come on, Ally. You know we're having a girl."
Ally gasped loudly. "We're having a girl?!"
Austin's eyes widened as he took in her reaction, "You really didn't know?" he asked meekly, a little embarrassed and scared.
Ally rolled her eyes, "No I didn't you moron." She grinned excitedly again before repeating, "We're having a girl?!"
"No." he responded meekly.
"It's what you said."
"I lied." He said unconvincingly.
"Austin." She scolded.
"Okay fine, it's true. Are you mad at me?" he winced.
Ally squealed and jumped up. "Why would I be mad? We're having a girl!" she cheered and Austin immediately smiled and stood up, carefully grabbing her around the waist and spinning her around.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist as they looked at each other with love, tears pricking both of their eyes. "We're having a girl." He whispered before capturing her lips with his in a passionate kiss.
Trish and Dez peeked into the room and walked in when they saw the kissing couple.
"What's going on in here?" Dez asked.
The couple broke their kiss and turned to look at their best friends, both wearing a wide grin. "We're having a girl!" they announced in unison.
Trish and Dez squealed and ran to join the couple in one of their infamous group hugs.
"It was so hard keeping in the fact that you two were having a girl." Trish stated beginning to feel tears prick her eyes after witnessing the overjoyed couple.
"Yup. We're going to have a little baby Aspyn." Ally replied, fondly rubbing her stomach.
"What would her nickname be?" Dez mused.
"Penny?" Trish suggested.
"Nah, that's my mom's name, it'll get confusing." Ally replied.
Dez snapped his fingers, "I know we can call her Ass."
Austin and Ally stared at Dez wide eyed before turning to each other.
"Permission to veto the name, Aspyn?"
"Permission granted." And from then on the pair set off to find a new name for their baby girl.
-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-
Yeah so that's that.
