Austin's POV
Aubree was turning 13 tomorrow. All those times we complained of her getting older when she was only 5, and now she's going to be 13. She's in the 7th grade. She loves nail polish, fashion, hello kitty, the color pink, and boys. She has a zebra striped diary, and protects it just like Ally protected hers. Avan's nine years old and thinks girls have cooties, except for this girl Annabelle; he loves cars and the color green. Ally and I are 30. We were looking through old photo albums of Aubree and telling stories about when she was a toddler.
"Remember when she was about 3 months old and we took her to Alleyah's volleyball game and Jennifer Abner came up to us?" Ally asked.
"Haha yeah. Oh, Jennifer. She was crazy."
Austin and Ally had brought Aubree with them for Alleyah's first volleyball game.
"Let's get you out of that carrier baby girl." Ally said as she picked up Aubree and sat her on her lap. Aubree was babbling as she saw Alleyah warming up.
"You see Aunt Alleyah?" Ally asked. She looked up to see Jennifer Abner, a classmate of Austin and Ally's, standing in front of them. She had long straight blonde hair, green eyes, and braces. She usually wore sweaters and colorful jeans. They didn't have anything against Jennifer, she was nice. But y'know how every school has at least one super hyper talkative chick? That was Jennifer.
"Hey guys!" Jennifer said and then gasped.
"Oh my gosh is that your daughter?" she said.
"Yeah. Her name is Aubree. She's 3 months old." Austin said, taking Aubree.
"She's SO adorable! Oh my gosh you guys are so lucky she's SO cute!" Jennifer put her face close to Aubree's and started using a high pitched voice. Aubree was laughing her cute little baby laugh.
"Remember Mrs. Martin's health class incident?" Austin asked.
"How could I forget?"
Ally was 5 months pregnant when she and Austin decided to try to go back to school. They were currently in 3rd period health, which is Mrs. Martin's class. Mrs. Martin was actually the only teacher who didn't like Ally, so she's really not gonna like her now. The algebra teacher, Mrs. Weddell and Art teacher, Miss Lancaster, had treated Ally just the same. The students? Some were nice, some were not. Austin and Ally really didn't like anyone in their health class, and Trish and Dez had Chemistry this period. The final bell had just rang and everyone had taken their seats.
"Ok class take your seats." Mrs. Martin instructed. "Today we are going to talk about an interesting topic. Teenage pregnancy and the physical and emotional effects it has on not only the girl, but also her baby daddy."
Ally turned around in her seat to face Austin. She was about to cry as her classmates snickered.
"Now. For petite young women, such as Ally here, will get a tremendous amount of stretch marks, which will absolutely ruin their poor teenage bikini body and breasts. No more beach visits."
All the students were now laughing as Ally ran out of the room crying and Austin chased after her. He finally caught up to her.
"Ally…"
"I wanna go home." She cried into his shirt. "Why did she have to do this to me? Just cuz she doesn't like me doesn't mean she had to go on the topic about how I'm so freaking fat and my body's ruined!"
"Sshh sshh Ally it's ok. You're not fat stop stressing. Its bad for Aubree." Austin said running his fingers through her curly hair. He hated seeing her like this.
"Well I'm gonna get stretch marks soon and then my body will really be ruined."
"Your body is not ruined. You're a tiger who earned her stripes."
Ally laughed. "Just sign me out. I'm tired of this place."
"Well haha to Mrs. Martin Cuz I didn't get any stretch marks." Ally smiled proudly.
"Even after Avan you still didn't get any. And I have to say, you look pretty dang good for a 30 year old."
Ally smiled. Austin started laughing.
"It's not cool to laugh at your own jokes." Ally teased.
"I'm laughing at these photos of you and Aubree."
Ally looked at the photos and smiled, her mind taking her back to that day.
Aubree took Ally's phone and ran into the living room laughing.
"Aubree; give mommy her phone." Ally warned.
"No!"
"Aubree."
"Cheeeeeese." She said.
"Oooh you want to take pictures."
"Yeah!"
"Ok come here."
Aubree walked over to Ally as Ally picked her up, sitting her on her lap as she sat down on the couch and took her phone from the 2 year old.
"Smile!" Ally said.
Besides the smiling one, they took a couple more pictures, with their tongues out and surprised faces.
"Do dis mommy." Aubree said, making the duck face.
Ally chuckled. "You've been around your Aunt Alleyah too long."
"Oh and there's the time she tried to eat a flower on Easter." Austin said, looking at the picture in the album.
Aubree was 10 months old. Austin and his siblings were gathered in the front yard of his mother's house, dressed in their Sunday best.
Aubree was dressed in a white dress with pink flowers and a little hat. She was sitting on the ground (the yard was fenced in) as Austin and Ally chatted with their family.
Suddenly Abigail started laughing.
"What?" Austin asked.
"Look at Aubree."
Everyone turned their attention towards the baby girl on the ground. She had a flower up to her face and was getting ready to put it in her mouth until she looked up to everyone laughing.
"Aubree!" Ally laughed as she picked her daughter up off the ground, took the flower from her little hand and placed it on the ground.
"I just can't believe she's going to be 13." Ally said. "I spent 12 hours in labor, 45 minutes pushing her out of my hoo-hoo, and then-"
"Did you just say hoo-hoo?" Austin laughed.*
Ally sent him a glare.
"Remember the time you just had to watch the superbowl while Aubree was sleeping?"
"Haha yeah. The broncos won."
Aubree was 3 weeks old. Austin, his brothers, and his father were getting ready for the superbowl. They all had their jerseys on, and Austin even had something for Aubree to wear.
"Hey Alls, check out what I bought Aubree for today." Austin smirked as he held up a very small broncos cheerleading outfit.
"Austin! Where did you get that?"
"eBay."
"Well, Aubree's taking her nap right now. Don't wake her up." Ally said as she walked out of their room.
Austin walked over to Aubree's crib.
"Mommy said not to wake you. She didn't say I couldn't put this outfit on you." Austin whispered as he picked Aubree up and laid her on the bed carefully and put the little outfit on her.
"Austin, the game's starting." Andrew said from the doorway.
"Ok. Coming." He carried Aubree in the living room and reclined the couch back.
Ally walked into the room.
"Austin! I told you not to wake her up!"
"You didn't tell me I couldn't put the outfit on her." he smiled deviously.
Ally just smiled, rolled her eyes and went back to their room to take a nap.
Austin was getting hot and decided to take off his jersey. Aubree was now lying on Austin's bare chest.
The broncos took the ball and made a touchdown, breaking the tie.
Austin and his brothers yelled and "oh'd".
Aubree started to fuss a little.
"N-n-n-n-no ssshh it's ok! It's ok!" Austin comforted.
"Dude, better not wake her up. Ally will get mad at you." Adam said.
"She was so cute in her little cheerleading outfit! Too bad she should've been asleep in her crib." Ally said.
"I think Aubree enjoyed her first superbowl!" Austin said.
"I remember one time I took her to the grocery store with me when she was about 6 months old and she kept reaching for pancakes." Ally smiled.
"Like father like daughter." Austin said.
Ally was running errands for Alice by picking up groceries. She had Aubree with her. Ally placed her in the cart (the part where babies are supposed to sit) and pushed the cart away to get groceries. She picked up shampoo, bread, and a few other necessities as Aubree played with Ally's keys. While looking for some cereal for the twins Ally stumbled upon pancake mix. Aubree reached out for it.
"You want pancakes, huh?"
Aubree smiled.
"You are your father's daughter alright."
"What can I say? She got my love for pancakes, Avan got your love for pickles."
"Oh here's a picture of you Adam and Andrew putting together her crib." Ally said.
"Where does this piece go?" Andrew asked.
"Just put it anywhere and see if it fits. The instructions are no help." Adam suggested.
"Hey hey hey. Do not just 'put it anywhere and hope it fits'. My daughter is going to be sleeping in this crib." Austin told his brothers.
"Well do you know how to put this thing together?" Adam asked.
"…no. why don't you ask dad? He's put 7 together."
"Or we could ask Ally."
"Yes, Andrew. We are such pussies that we're going to ask my pregnant girlfriend to put the crib together." Austin said sarcastically.
"Don't call me a pussy." Andrew said.
This resulted in the boys getting a little fight.
"What's wrong? Can't handle it? Huh? Huh?" Austin said as he pinned Andrew to the ground.
"Boys!" Alice shouted.
"He called me a pussy!" Andrew protested.
"He wanted Ally to put the crib together!" Austin argued.
"Oh for heaven's sake there's no sense in this! I'll just get dad to build it! Ashley and Aiden are more behaved than you boys sometimes." Alice ranted.
"Well I think it was rude of him to say you could build it when you were 8 months pregnant! I mean, come on Andrew, be a man!"
Ally laughed. "Aww, here's when she lost her first tooth."
"Daddy daddy daddy!" 6 year old Aubree came running into the living room.
"What's wrong Aubree?" Austin asked.
"Look! In my hand!" Aubree opened her little hand to reveal a tooth. Her first tooth. She lost her first tooth.
Austin gasped. "Ally!"
"Is everything ok?" Ally asked, running into the living room.
"Mommy look! My tooth fell out!"
Ally gasped. "Good job sweetie! Come on, let's go upstairs and put your tooth under your pillow for the tooth fairy!"
"Whoa. Look at what a mess I was in this picture." Austin said.
Aubree was 6 months old. Austin picked her up and sat her down in her high chair to try baby food for the first time.
"Ok baby girl let's try peas first." Austin said as he opened the jar and got a baby spoonful of peas. He fed it to Aubree, and she spit it out on Austin.
"Ok so no peas. What about carrots?"
Aubree spit those out, too.
"Applesauce? Please like applesauce."
Aubree kept them down.
"Oh thank goodness you like applesauce." Austin fed Aubree another spoon of it.
She spit it out and started laughing her baby laugh.
"Ok, so do you like them or not?" Austin fed her another spoonful and this time she kept it down.
"You little squirt you think it's funny to spit up all over your daddy?"
Aubree laughed.
"Then there's the time when your mom's friend Callee came over after Aubree was born." Ally said.
"Oh I remember that. She's a nice lady."
Alice's friend Callee had come over to see how Alice liked being a grandmother. They talked about everything. Aubree, the kids, the latest soap opera. Right now they were talking about Austin taking responsibility for taking care of Ally and Aubree.
"Austin has really grown up, wouldn't you say, Alice?"
"Yeah. He helps Ally with everything. Even gets up in the middle of the night so Ally doesn't have to."
They looked to the living room where Austin and Ally were sitting on the couch with Aubree. Austin was holding her high in the air and using baby talk with her.
"He's a good kid." Alice said.
"Yeah. I wish my boys were more like him." Callee said.
Austin and Ally were shaken from their thoughts when the home phone started ringing. Ally was about to answer it, when Aubree ran into the room.
"I'll get I'll get it NOBODY ELSE GET IT!" Aubree said.
Aubree answered. "Hello? Oh hey Asher!"
These teenage years were going to kill Austin and Ally. What a rollercoaster ride it's been, what a rollercoaster ride it'll be.
