Here is the last chapter of Surprise. I enjoyed writing this three-shot and I hope you enjoyed reading it. Enjoy!
Two weeks. That was the amount of time before Ally was due to give birth to the twins. To say she was freaking out, tired, sore, and annoyed would be a lie. She wanted the twins out already, and she didn't really care who she yelled at. Surprisingly, the only person she rarely yelled at was Austin. He always knew what to say, and he always comforted her.
"Austin?" Ally asked, gaining the blondes attention.
He looked away from the TV and turned to his wife. "What?"
"Could you help me up?" She asked, biting her lip. She held out her hand for Austin to take. He chuckled and nodded, standing up to grab her hand. He gently pulled her up, causing her to groan and hold her stomach.
"God, I can't wait to stand up on my own." She said.
He chuckled. "Why'd you get up, anyway?"
She gave him a look. "When you're carrying twins, and one of them presses against your bladder, you tend to need the bathroom."
He blinked. "Gotcha." She nodded and made her way to the bathroom. "Pregnant women." He muttered, sinking back onto the couch.
"Heard that!" Ally yelled.
"Dammit!"
Ally chuckled, hearing Austin's response. As her hand gripped the doorknob of the bathroom, she felt a wave of pain spread throughout her stomach. She moaned and clutched her stomach. Suddenly, she felt something trickle down her leg. She slowly looked down and her eyes widened.
Her water broke.
"A-Austin!" She called shakily.
"What?" He yelled back.
"My water broke!" She yelled, then moaned in pain as another contraction hit. Her contractions were a few minutes apart.
"What?!" Austin exclaimed, appearing in front of Ally instantly. "You're in labor?!" All she did was nod, a hand on her stomach.
"O-okay, we have to get you to the hospital." He was trying so hard not to panic. He led her to the living room and grabbed the overnight bag they kept by the couch. Good choice.
"Austin, I'm scared." Ally admitted quietly as he opened the front door.
He turned to her and cupped her cheek with the hand that wasn't holding the bag. "I know you are, Als." He said softly. "But, just remember that in a few hours, we'll be holding our babies in our arms."
She gave him a soft smile in which he returned. He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers.
"Let's go before you give birth in our living room." He joked, causing her to swat his arm playfully.
Once they were both in the car, buckled up, Austin sped off. Not even a minute into the drive was Ally clutching her stomach as a contraction hit. Austin grabbed her hand and squeezed it. He rubbed soothing circles on the back of her hand, trying to calm her down and ease the pain. It didn't really work. Her contractions were getting closer together.
Finally, Austin thought as they reached the hospital. He parked the car, shut it off, and ran over to Ally's side. He opened her door and helped her out. They walked into the hospital, hand in hand, Ally squeezing Austin's hand. They approached the nurse's station.
"My wife is in labor." Was the first thing Austin said. Although he stayed calm on the outside, he was freaking out on the inside.
After asking a few questions, which Ally found ridiculous, the nurse called for a wheel chair. Another nurse arrived moments later with a wheel chair, and Ally slowly sat down. She was wheeled off to her room, Austin's hand never leaving hers.
As soon as they entered the room, Ally was placed into a hospital gown and hooked up to an IV and fetal monitor before settling down in her bed. The nurse walked out, leaving Austin and Ally alone.
"This is really happening, isn't it?" Ally whispered, trying to find a comfortable position on the bed.
Austin nodded, a smile on his face. "I'm gonna go call Dez and Trish and tell them you're in labor." He told his wife. She nodded and he kissed her forehead before hurrying out.
Moments later, Doctor Wells walked in, a smile on her face. "How are you doing, Ally?" She asked.
Ally was about to answer when a contraction hit, causing her to moan in pain. "I'm guessing not so well." Doctor Wells joked. Ally shook her head. "Alright, let's check how far along you are." She lifted Ally's legs onto the stirrups and checked her dilation.
"Well," She began, setting Ally's legs back down. "You're only four centimeters, so you still have some time to go." Ally nodded just as Austin walked back in. "Hello, Austin."
"Hi, Doctor Wells." He smiled and sat down on the chair next to Ally's bed.
"I'll be back in an hour to check you again, Ally."
The brunette nodded. "Okay."
The doctor walked out, leaving the couple alone once again. "I called them and they'll be here soon." Austin told his wife. Trish and Dez were the only ones coming since their parents no longer lived in Miami.
Ally nodded, breathing in and out as a contraction hit. She continued breathing the way they taught her during Lamaze class for a few minutes until the pain subsided. She closed her eyes before opening them a moment later.
"You're doing good, babe." Austin whispered, running his fingers through her hair.
"I don't think I can do this, Austin." Ally whimpered.
"Yes you can, Als." He told her softly. "I know you can do this."
Ally yelped in pain and grabbed her stomach as another contraction hit. "Breath, Als." Austin instructed. She did as told.
Three hours had passed and her contractions got closer together. The pain was excruciating. She was sweating buckets, and she had hair plastered on her forehead.
"I can't do this!" Ally cried, tears pooling in her eyes. She screamed in pain and grabbed her stomach.
Austin kissed her forehead and whispered soothing words in her ears. She grabbed his hand and squeezed it when another contraction hit. She assumed that she was causing her pain, but nothing could compare to the pain she was in.
When Doctor Wells walked back into the room, she quickly checked Ally's dilation. She gave the couple a smile and nodded. "You're ten centimeters, Ally."
Austin and Ally looked at each other for a second before looking back at the doctor. She placed Ally's legs on the stirrups, lifted up the sheets, and looked up at Ally. Her helpers were all ready.
"On the count of three, I want you to push, okay?" She told Ally. "And hold it for about ten seconds."
Ally nodded and Austin gave her hand a squeeze. Ally sucked in a deep breath and pushed down, holding it for ten seconds before releasing the breath.
"Good job, Ally. Again." Doctor Wells told her. The brunette pushed harder this time, causing a scream to escape her lips.
"I see the head, Ally. One more push and the first baby is out."
"I can't!" Ally cried, gasping.
"Yes you can, Als." Austin said softly. "This baby is almost out. You can do this." He kissed her forehead.
"Ready?" Doctor Wells asked. Ally nodded and gave this one last push her all. She pushed like she never pushed before, screaming in the process.
Suddenly, soft cries filled the room, and Ally fell back onto the bed, breathing heavily. "It's a girl!" Doctor Wells exclaimed, cutting the cord. She handed the baby over to a nurse to get cleaned up.
Ally cupped a hand over her mouth and cried. Happy tears rolled down her cheeks. Austin smiled and laughed, a bit in shock. He leaned down and kissed Ally's forehead, letting a couple tears fall.
"I'm so proud of you, Als." He whispered, stroking her hair.
"Don't get to comfortable, you two." Doctor Wells teased. "There's still another baby to deliver."
That was when Ally moaned in pain, feeling another contraction. She spent the next five minutes pushing, using whatever strength she had left to get the baby out.
She relaxed, lying back down on the bed when she felt the baby slip out. "It's a boy!" Doctor Wells exclaimed, cutting the cord. She handed the baby boy to the nurse to get cleaned up. Moments later, both babies were brought over to the parents. The girl wrapped up in a pink blanket, and the boy wrapped up in a blue blanket.
A baby was placed in each of Ally's arms. "Have you two got a name for these cuties?" The doctor asked.
Austin nodded and smiled down at his kids. "Mackenzie Aubrey Moon and Nicholas Ashton Moon."
Doctor Wells smiled. "Those are lovely names. I need to go fill out some papers, so I'll leave you two alone." They thanked her and watched her walk out.
Ally stared down at the babies in her arms and smiled. "I can't believe they're here." She whispered.
Austin carefully sat down on the bed next to her, giving her a soft kiss on her temple. "I'm so proud of you. I love you."
She turned to him and smiled. "I love you, too." He leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers. "Want to hold one?" She asked once they pulled away.
He nodded, smiling down at his kids. He carefully scooped Nicholas out of Ally's arms and placed him in his own. "Hey, bud." He greeted softly, stroking his cheek.
"He looks like you." Ally commented. "He definitely has your nose."
"Well, Mackenzie has your cheeks." Austin said. Both parents looked down at their kids, not quiet believing that they were here.
Being parents would be a challenge. There would be surprises along the way, but it was nothing that they couldn't handle. They weren't just two people in love, raising their kids.
They were Austin and Ally.
