Chapter 2: Ally Meet Austin, The Father Of Your Child
Austin's P.O.V
"Hello." I say as I answer my phone.
"Mr. Moon it's Dr. Sullivan, I have good news." She says.
"What happened?" I ask very interested in her answer.
"She came here this morning, she's finally dealing with being pregnant and she is in fact still pregnant." She tells me and my heart instantly beats faster.
"Can I see her? Have she agreed to meet me?" I ask unable to hide my obvious hope.
"I've asked her and she promised to think about it, I was very afraid of scaring her away again so I didn't push her." She explains.
"I understand." I say sadly.
"She's coming back here tomorrow and I hope she'll agree to see you that why I want you to come and see me tomorrow 10am if that works for you."
"I'll be there." I agree without hesitation.
Ally's P.O.V
It's morning and we're on our way to see Dr. Sullivan, I'm really nervous about how Gavin will react to all of this, he hasn't been too happy since I told him. We're finally there and we're called right in.
"Hi, you must be the fiancé." She smiles at Gavin and he nods. "Please take a seat." She says and we both do. "So Ally told you that she's pregnant, correct?" She asks.
"Yes, now please tell me that she not." He says with a hiss.
"Unfortunately she is, it's a medical mistake my assistant made which let to me inseminating the wrong girl." She explains. "Of course my assistant has been fired and her carrier in medicine is over." She says.
"You realize that I now have to live with your mistake right? If Ally wants this child then I have to raise another man's baby and that doesn't sit well with me." He hisses.
"I realize that my mistake will change lives and I'm sorry that includes yours." She apologizes.
"I should take you license away for this!" He snaps and that's when I cut in.
"Now that's enough! She didn't intend to make this mistake and she did actually come clean about it so just stop, this affect me and my life! Yours doesn't have to change, you can leave if you don't want this I'm not stopping you or begging you to stay!" I snap angrily.
"Whatever, I can't be fucked with this!" He yells before walking out slamming the door. I'm now alone with the doctor I know we have a lot to talk about.
"I'm sorry about coursing trouble." She says sadly.
"Thanks."
"Before we talk settlement there's something I want to ask you, as you know the father has requested to meet you, do you want to meet with him?" Yes, but how can I?
"I want to, it's just how can I possibly look him in the eyes, I've never even met him before." I panic. I want to know who he is, but I'm afraid he already hates me...
"He's sweet polite young man so there will be no problem." She assures me and I nod, her phone rings again. "He's here … Good, send him in." She says and I feel shy, seconds later a tall blonde beautiful young guy appears and I'm completely speechless. He's breathtaking hot...
"Dr. Sullivan." He greets.
"Mr. Moon." She says awkwardly. "This is Allyson Dawson. She's the girl I accidentally mixed up with Mrs. Moon." She introduces me and I look up at him shyly.
"I'm Austin." He says politely with a sweet smile.
"I'm Ally." I blush.
"Can you both follow me, please?" She asks leading us to a private room. "I think you two need to have a chat alone, I'll be in touch when you've spoken and we take it from there." She smiles before she leaves us alone.
The room is like a study and I believe they use it as I therapy room because of the couch and the chairs, we both sit down silently. I have no idea what to say so I just look at my feet and feel insanely shameful.
"Dr. Sullivan told me that you're pregnant with my child." He says full of wonder breaking the silence.
"Yeah, that's what she told me." I whisper shamefully.
"I'm so sorry for asking, but are you sure it's mine because Dr. Sullivan seemed to be." He says carefully.
"Yes, I'm a virgin and I'm pregnant so I have no other explanation." I look at my feet.
"A virgin?" He asks fearfully and I nod. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to apply anything it's just I was told that my chance of ever becoming a father was nearly impossible." He says sadly. Oh no, like I didn't feel bad enough.
"Apparently not impossible." I whisper.
"Please don't be embarrassed, I'm so sorry you got dragged into this, I can't even begin to understand how you're feeling right now and I understand why you denied it for a month." He says kindly, his hand gently touch my chin bringing my eyes away from the floor, and our eyes met for the first time. I notice his chocolate brown eyes for the first time completely melting inside, wow. I hope my child gets his eyes, wait what? How can he make my inside tickle just by looking at me.
"Yeah, I couldn't really believe. I'm sorry, I messed up your chance to have a baby with your wife." I say sadly.
"Hey, I'm not blaming you for that and you shouldn't either, but I need to ask what are you planning on doing?" He asks looking scared and hopeful at the same time.
"I'm not sure, I wasn't supposed to become pregnant before I even had sex, my fiancé doesn't want me to keep this baby." I whisper.
"I understand, my wife don't like it either and I know I should let you make your own choice, but I thought I at least would tell you one thing before you decide."
"What's that?" I ask very interested in what he has to say.
"My wife and I have been trying to have a baby for four years, but as you properly know it never happened. This could be my only chance to become a father, I mean of course they could give it another shot, but this something I desperately want and I want to make you a promise. If and I say if you decide to keep this miracle child I'll stand by you, I'll be here for whatever you and this child needs, I want you to go through with this." He whispers and I see a tear fall from his eyes, there is no doubt how much he wants this and there is something about him there makes me trust him instantly. Miracle child, I kinda see it that way too now, something there should be impossible, but wasn't and I realize I was afraid he wouldn't love this child, but now I know he will. That has my eyes watering. "Are you okay?" He asks worriedly as tears begin streaming down of my face.
"I-I'm fine, it's just these damn hormones." I say trying to remove the tears from my face.
"I'm sorry if what I said makes you uncomfortable, I want so bad for you to keep this child, but if you don't want it I'll understand." He says, that's the most selfless thing anyone has ever said to me he would give up his chance to become a father if I didn't want this baby.
Suddenly I can't help myself and I hug him, he hugs me back as I whisper 'I'm sorry', I feel so bad for him. I slowly pull away trying to ignore the sparks I feel everywhere he touched me, he looks at me warmly and I know that I made the right decision.
"I'll go through with the pregnancy; I don't have the heart to end it and I've always known I wanted to be a mother someday." I tell him.
"Really? You mean it?" He whispers with eyes full of hope.
"Yes, we'll make this work and raise this baby together." I agree.
"Thank you, I can't even begin to tell you what this means to me." He says emotionally and pulling me into another hug, once again I feel sparks all over my body in a way I've never felt before. "I promise you I'll be here ever step along the way." He says and I know he means it.
"I know you will somehow I trust you." I confess.
"That means everything to me." He says sincerely. We walk back to Dr. Sullivan's office to talk about where we go from here.
"What do you want to do?" Dr. Sullivan asks.
"As I said pressing charges doesn't interest me at all." Austin says surprising me and I stare up at him, maybe he does have a heart of gold like doctor Sullivan said.
"Ally?" She asks and I look up at her. "Have you decided what you want to do?"
"Yes, pressing charges isn't something I want to do either, but I do however need a doctor who will stick with me through all of this and I want it to be you." I say and Austin looks warmly at me.
"I'm sorry to get emotional, but this baby is very lucky. It's a deal, I will be your doctor through this pregnancy and any other if you should become pregnant again later on. I'll do it free of charge as a compensation and I'll compensate this child by paying for your child's education whatever he or she might want, I will compensate your both by paying for anything you need for this child the first few years. I'll get the contract ready by the first ultrasound in four weeks, anything either of you want to add just let me know." She smiles.
"I think it sounds perfect." I smile.
"I do too." Austin smiles.
"Thank you for your cooperation and for not pressing charges." She says relived.
"Don't mention it, ruining you life is no interest of mine." I smile.
"Austin said that very same thing to me when I first told him, as I said this baby will be a lucky one." She smiles.
I walk out of her office as a changed woman forever, this was the last thing I thought would happen when I got out of bed this morning, but I actually feel happy about being pregnant. I didn't think I would, but I do.
"Ally, would you join me for lunch?" Austin asks politely.
"Sure." I agree and we walk together in silence until we get to a nice restaurant, we get a table right away. Now that I think about it, haven't I heard the name Austin Moon before?
"So Ally? What do you do for a living?" He asks snapping me out of my thoughts.
"I'm a songwriter, I work for Ramone Records." I smile. "You?"
"Really? A songwriter? That's awesome." He says in awe and I smile. "I'm a performer I've been signed with Starr Records since I was sixteen." He smiles. I knew I recognized him.
"I thought your name sounded familiar."
"Hopefully, I love my work and music means a lot to me." He says passionately.
"I know what you mean, music has always been a big part of me and I can't imagine my life without it." My voice is full of love whenever I talk about music.
"You should also be a performer then." He smiles.
"No, I can't, I have horrible stage fright." I admit.
"That's too bad, but I'm happy that we have music in common, maybe we could write together at some point?" He asks happily.
"Sure, it would be a good way to get to know each other before the baby comes, he or she deserves parents who know each other."
"I agree, I was hoping we could do this as friends."
"Me too."
"I was wondering, you look very young how old are you?" He asks.
"20." I admit.
"Right, that's what dr. Sullivan said two weeks ago. I am really sorry that you have to go through this before you were ready." He says compassionately.
"I'm okay with it, it's not happening the way I wanted it too, but it is happening." I smile at him.
"That it is, I'm surprised that you're keeping the baby, but I'm even more surprised that you don't want to press charges." He says full of wonder.
"She's not a monster, it was a mistake. She told me this morning that the assistant who made the mistake has been fired, she takes this very serious so there's no need to believe that she'll make this mistake again." I explain and he looks surprised at me.
"You know I thought the very same thing when she told me, I don't feel the need to ruin her life just because I can." He says and it makes me smile.
"You know she was right when she implied that you have a heart of gold." I say emotionally.
"You're just so sweet, Ally." He blushes adorably. "You know, you have a heart of gold too not only are you keeping this child, but you also protect the doctor's mistake because you see something good in her." He says wholeheartedly making me blush.
"You know, we're gonna get along just fine." I say honestly.
"You're right about that." He agrees.
We eat in comfortable silence for a while before we start talking about all kinds of random stuff and I'm amazed of how much we have in common, but also how different we are. Once we get the check he pays before I even have a chance to see how much the dinner costs and I instantly feel uncomfortable, I don't like people spending money on me.
We walk outside together and he suddenly stops. "Where are you parked?" He asks sweetly.
"Well I drove here with my fiancé, but he left with the car so I'm walking home." I say awkwardly.
"You'll do no such thing, you're pregnant and that looks like a heavy bag." He snaps and I stare in shock. Why?
"I'm pregnant not an invalid." I point out and he looks worriedly at me.
"I'll drive you home, please, come." He asks softly.
"You really don't have to, it's not far."
"I want to and I insist."
"Okay." I agree.
I walk with him to his car and he opens the door for me, I blush, the doctor was right he is sweet. I give him my address and he types it in on the GPS.
"You told me it weren't far!" He says full of concern.
"It's not."
"Come on, Ally, this says 6 miles!" He snaps.
"I have walked further than that before."
"Maybe so, but it's too far with a bag like that when your pregnant!"
I just can't help it and I start to laugh. "Are you gonna be this overprotective these next 7 months?" I ask once I can get a word out.
"Is that a problem?" He says seriously and I stop laughing, ups, he seems to take this very serious.
"No, I kinda like knowing that you want this child so bad." I confess and he looks relieved.
He doesn't respond as he starts up the car and drive out of the parking lot, the drive to my house is in complete silence and I wonder if I hurt his feelings by laughing. He parks outside of my house without saying another word and I know I need to say something.
"I'm sorry I laughed at you, I didn't mean to, but letting people help me isn't something I'm used to, it makes me uncomfortable." I say sadly.
"What do you mean?" He asks worriedly and I sigh.
"I've been in different foster homes and I never knew my parents or any family, I'm not good at letting people care for me or help me with anything." I confess and he looks pained from my confession.
"I'm so sorry, Ally. I know that must make all of this so much harder, I just want to be there for you and for our unborn child in any way you'll let me." He says compassionately. I'm completely touched by his response, he wants this more than anything.
"Do you want to come inside for a bit?" I ask.
"Sure." He follows me inside.
"Do you want coffee to tea?"
"Tea, please." I make a cop of tea for us both and walk to the couch were Austin is seated and hands him a mug. "Thank you."
"I'm truly sorry for laughing, you really wants this and want to protect it, I get that and I'm sorry." I say softly.
"It's okay, I'm just frighten that you'll lose the baby or regret your decision, you did disappear for a month."
"I know, I wasn't ready to hear it then, but I won't regret my decision now, what you don't know is that I knew my decision yesterday even if you didn't want to be the father."
"Really? You didn't consider abortion?"
"No not even for a second the thought alone made me sick, I can't kill my own baby even if it's not a baby yet." I say petting my belly again, it's almost a reflex and he smiles.
"I know it's weird and that I can't feel the baby yet, but can I?" He asks looking amazed at my belly before looking into my eyes and I nod.
He places his hand on my belly and even though you can't see or feel anything yet his eyes light up like a child on Christmas Eve. I melt completely inside because I already know how much he'll love this child, I feel my belly tickle everywhere he touches and I instinctively place my hand over his.
Somehow this just feels so right and I know that I don't know this man, but I know that I want him in my life and I'm happy that he's the father, I mean it could have been anyone, but it's him this warm, sweet, passionate man and of course very attractive.
"I think you'll make an amazing father and I know how much you'll love this child." The words are out of my mouth before I have a chance to stop them, I just feel so emotional, he's eyes snap up and find mine clearly surprised by my words.
"I'll do my best." He says warmly as he continues to caress my belly and I can't stop the tears in my eyes from falling, he dries them away with his other hand. His action makes my heart beat faster and our eyes are locked together, he caresses my cheek softly. I feel an unfamiliar pull between us something I've never felt before with anyone and it takes all of myself control not to act on this new feeling.
"Somehow I know you will." I whisper and he smiles again.
"I still can't believe that our baby is in here." His voice is full of wonder. "I'm really gonna be a father."
"Do you want to come to the next appointment with me?" I ask softly.
"Can I?" He asks surprised.
"Of course." I assure him. "We're in this together now and this baby in here is yours too." I say putting my hand over his as he caress my belly again.
"Ally, I want you to know that I'm here for you and if you ever need my help with anything, you call me, right? Even if it's not related to this baby." He says sincerely.
"Thank you, I will and I'm here for you too if you ever need me."
"I can't believe it yet." He whispers.
"I can't either."
"I was so afraid that you didn't want the baby." He confesses.
"I know, so much was clear just by the look in your eyes." I say sweetly.
An hour passes before he goes home to tell his wife my decision and his, he told me that if she wants to leave because of this child then he'll let her go because he wants this way more. It warms my heart that he'll risk losing his wife to have this child, but I'm worried that he'll blame me or this child for it one day.
I spend a couple of hours on writing music until I hear Gavin's car in the driveway, I feel afraid because I have no idea how he'll react.
"Ally, good you're here. Listen I wanted to apologize for how I acted earlier none of what happened was your fault and I think I have a solution." He smiles.
"What's your solution?" I ask.
"Mrs. Moon found me at work and explained that her husbands chances of becoming a father almost were none existent and I feel for him. She wanted to ask if there's anyway her and her husband could adopt the kid, I think it's a perfect solution because that way you don't need to end it and we can continue our lives after this is over without someone else's kid." He says seeming happy with his solution, but by the time he finished I see red, how dare he even suggest that I give my child away?
"No!" I snap.
"No what? I solved the problem."
"This child is not a problem to be solved, I will not abandon my child, no! I'm the mother and I will continue to be." I snap angrily.
"You seriously want to start our lives together with a kid there isn't ours? You want me to be this kid's dad when it's not mine?"
"I want my baby and then you can decide what you want!" I snap angrily.
"Ally, you know I love you, but I don't want to start our lives together with someone else's child. I don't want to raise another man's child." He tries to reason and in this moment I'm ready to leave him.
"If you don't want this, that's okay I can understand that, but this baby in here is my child to and I won't give it away. I know this is not what you want to hear, but it's the decision I made. I'll stay with Trish tonight and give you time to figure out what you want." I explain.
"So our future means nothing to you now?" He asks hurt.
"You're not hearing me, Gavin. I want the future we planned together, but this child is now a part of the deal. You can take it or leave it, but I'll do this with or without you. I love you just as much as I did before I knew about this, but now this child is a part of me." I say determined.
"I don't know what to do here, Ally." He says conflicted.
"I'll give you all the time you need to figure out how you feel, but know this if you choose me you also choose this child. I won't raise a child in a home where the child doesn't feel loved because if you're here the child will come to see you as a father."
"You'll force me to be this child's father?" He asks frightened.
"No, you know my past Gavin. I grew up in foster families where I never felt loved and if you can't love this child as you own then you don't have to, but I won't let my child feel unloved or unwanted." I explain and his expression softens.
"I'm sorry Ally, I'm just in shock I guess."
"I know and it's okay, think it through and if you can't do it I'll understand." I tell him. "I'll go see Trish and we'll talk tomorrow, alright?"
"Sure." He says pulling me in for a hug. I pack an overnight bag and I leave the house feeling happier, at least we don't fight right now and if he leaves me I'll let him go.
A/N:
So did you guys like the second chapter?
What do you think about Gavin? I personally don't like him all that much especially not in this story, he's kinda being a jerk...
Why do you think Austin is so overprotective over a girl he just met? I'll give you a hint he's character (in this story) is inspired by Christian Grey (Fifty Shades of Grey), but he's just inspired by him he's not like him all that much :)
By the way I forgot to say it in the first chapter, but I don't own anything besides this story anything familiar is someone else's work I was inspired by.
Please let me know what you think?
This chapter is for the guests who took their time to review, since I can't answer you I want to say thank you. I'm happy you like this one and I'm working on the next chapter for 'My Stepbrother', I'm happy you liked it enough to re-read it and I'm sorry for keeping you waiting :)
