Summary: Austin Moon has one bright spot in his life: his friendship with Ally. When Ally announces her intention to become pregnant using a sperm donor, Austin thinks he will be the lucky guy, but Ally has someone else in mind. While drunk at Ally's insemination party, Austin substitutes his sperm for the donor's, then passes out, remembering nothing. Seven years later, Austin meets Ally's son, who seems oddly familiar to him. Disclaimer: This is based off of a movie I just watched recently called The Switch. I do not own Austin and Ally or anything you might recognize.
Look at us.

Always late.

Hi! My name is Austin Monica Moon. Yeah yeah! Laugh it up. I hate my middle name. My parents were expecting a girl so instead of making my first name Monica they made it my middle name. What in the world was going on in their head when they decided to make my middle name Monica? I mean did they even consider my feelings?
Anyways, I work as a recording artist at Starr Records. I can sing, dance, and act. But for the life of me can't write a song even if my life depended on it. I wrote a song once, but then I realized I actually didn't write the song and had actually stole it from someone. But I was super happy I did because that's how I met my friend Ally. She's my best friend and helps me write the songs for my album. We both live in New York and work for the same record company.
Ally has been my best friend for as long as I can remember. We do everything together. I've had a crush on her for a while now. But she probably doesn't feel the same way. Anyway I told Ally I would meet her at the coffee shop today.
I run into the coffee shop and meet Ally there. I smile as I see her through the window sitting waiting for me to come in. As I walk in I sit at the table and set my stuff down. We both walk up to the counter and order our coffees. I also ordered a bagel. As we wait for our order we talk about the usual stuff, like our music. We get our orders and finally go back to the table to sit down. Ally says I have this annoying habit of humming when I chew my food. I was currently eating my bagel until,
"Austin. Can you please stop humming?" she asks politely
"Sorry Ally. You know I can't control it." I say
"Now I have some news." She says excitedly.
"First I want to show you something. Check this out." I say handing my phone to her so she can look at the picture on my phone.
"What is that?" She asks holding the phone closer to her face so she can get a better look.
"I seem to have a growth." I said.
"Is that your scrotum?" she asks closing her eyes and handing my phone back.
"It's not a sunset." I reply sarcastically.
"Anyway, as I was saying I have news." I sat there wondering what news was she about to tell me. Every time she speaks I always get really nervous and I start to smile like an idiot.
"I would like you to be the first to know... I'm having baby." I said. I didn't know what to feel at that moment. When I finally regrouped my thoughts I spoke. "You're pregnant?"
"Not yet. I'm still working out the kink for that." I stared at her in shock and then got confused. She's having a baby but isn't pregnant. She spent the next 5 to 10 minutes telling me about how she's not getting any younger and how fertility rates go down as you get older. She says she always wanted to have a child.
She goes on to tell me about how she's looking at websites for sperm donors and looking at applications.
I finally ask her, "What's wrong with my sperm?"
"Your sperm?" She asks.
"It works." I point out to her.
"I think you have great sperm. It's just we're best friends. Is that not weird?" she asks at little uneasy.
"That's weird. It is, you're right." I say agreeing. We finish our coffee and head out of the shop. Ally and I are walking down the streets just talking. We were enjoying the cool breeze blowing in our faces.
"I want a donor who I meet. Someone's eyes I'm can look into, and shake their hand." She says genuinely. "With a sperm bank you can't. I want it fresh. Not frozen." she continues.
"Frozen is so refreshing though." I respond.
Later that night, we planned to meet up at a bar. I see Ally talking to some guy and I start to get jealous. She's laughing with him and everything. What could he possibly be talking about that's so funny? Once she spots me she walks over to me.
"Hey" she says.
"Hey. You're not thinking of him as a donor right?" I say as the first sentence that comes out of my mouth. This guy isn't good enough for Ally.
"Why not?" she asks a little irritated.
"He's married." I said like it was obvious.
"Divorced."
"He's lying. You can see a mark on his ring finger."
"You know what? Whatever. I'm gonna go use the restroom. Don't do anything stupid while I'm gone." she says seriously.
"No promises" I reply smiling.
As Ally walks away smiling back at me. I take this as my chance to get this guy out of the picture. I walk up to the guy Ally was talking to earlier. So I decided to send him on an adventure.
"Hey. I'm Austin. I'm a friend of Ally's"
"Cool. I'm Elliot." he said wondering where she disappeared to.
"That's great. So Ally left and she told me to tell you to meet her at this address." I say scribbling an address on a napkin and giving it to Elliot. "She said that she really likes you and she wants you to meet her there." I reply.
"Really? She likes me?" He asks hopefully.
"Yeah. Sure. Go get her buddy!" He leaves the bar to go to the address.
When Ally got out of the restroom she walked over to me.
"Where's Elliot?" she questions.
"Oh, he left." I said innocently.
"What did you do to him?" she says bluntly.
"Why you ruining my joke?"
"AUSTIN! Why can't you just accept that I'm going to find a guy sooner or later!?" She yells at me ignoring my comment.
"I prefer later."
She rolls her eyes at me and walks out of the bar furiously. I went to go follow her.
"Ally!" I shout as she starts walking a faster pace. "Ally!" she finally stops walking.
"What?!" she turns around with tears in her eyes. I go up to her and hug her. She just stands there and cries into my shoulder.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. I just think your rushing things too fast. What if you met the perfect guy a week from now or a month? Or what if you've already met him but you don't know it yet?It'll be too late." I say being the voice of reason. She could be rushing into something she's not ready for.
"Look, I don't want to spend my whole life waiting. I'm going to do this." she said looking at me wiping her tears. I then realized standing at the street corner she was going to do this with or without my help.
"TAXI!" She called into the street waving her hand.
"Austin. I'm already scared out my mind. I don't need you adding more pressure onto me. Can't I just ask for your support without your judgment on how I do everything?" She looks at me with those brown pleading eyes. I could get lost in them.
I want to say yes to make her happy again and to see that smile, but I know I can't promise that. "Ally, I am always going to be there next to you wondering if this is the right step. I'm sorry that's just the way it is." The taxi pulls up behind me a few seconds later.
"Fine. I'm going home and I think- I think I need a timeout from all of this." That hurt me a little. Okay maybe A LOT. But I still decided to make a joke out of it.
"Look at you already speaking baby." I say with a slight chuckle.
"Bye Austin." she says giving me a hug while I kiss the top of her head. She gets into the car and it drives off into the distance.
I call my own taxi and decide to head home and go to sleep.
