Hey, guys! Sorry for the long wait, this week has been kind of crazy. I barely had time to write, and when I did, I'd use it to continue the last chapter I updated for Undercover.
This chapter is a bit longer than the other ones, I think. But I'm pretty sure you'll like it :) It doesn't happen often that I'm confident with the chapters I post, so to say I'm pretty sure you'll like it is most likely a first for me. I really hope you do like it, though :P
Disclaimer: I do not own Austin & Ally, or anything else you may recognize in this story.
Enjoy! :)
"So, how was tour?" Trish asks her brunette friend, who had just came home from Austin's world tour, in which she was the opening act. Trish unfortunately had to stay behind, her mother being in the hospital for half of the tour, and having to take care of her for the other half.
The two sit down on Trish's couch that's in the living room of the latina's new house, before Ally speaks up. "It was great. The fans were amazing. Such a great energy. And it was so awesome to visit all those places! If you had heard all the different accents, depending on where we were... Some were so cute! Oh! And some fans would even cry at the meet & greets. I thought it'd be more for Austin, but some were even more excited to meet me! It was so... I have no words. It was just amazing." Ally beams, making Trish smile.
"Well, I'm glad you had fun. How did you manage with all those concerts, having to carry this little one with you?" Trish asks Ally, poking the brunette's big stomach. Yup, you guessed right. Ally's pregnant! She could give birth anytime soon, so even though Trish tries not to show it, she's a bit scared that Ally will end up giving birth to her first child in her living room.
Ally giggles. "I have no idea. For the last few shows, I had to sit down after a bit. The thing that bothered me the worst was that I couldn't just run around the stage, jumping up and down like I used to do. I want to get her out soon just so that I can perform at my best again." She explains, gesturing to her belly.
"Wait, her?! It's a girl?" Trish asks excitedly.
Ally bites her lip. She and Austin had decided to keep it a secret from everyone. Even their parents didn't know. They just wanted them to discover the gender once Ally would have given birth.
Well, guess what? Trish now knows.
"Yeah." Ally replies slowly.
"Why didn't you tell me before?!"
"Because no one knows about it! You were supposed to find out only after I had given birth! We wanted it to be a surprise for everyone!"
"Well, I'm glad it's a girl. I'll be able to take her shopping!" Trish squeals excitedly as Ally laughs at her friend's excited mood. Suddenly, her laughter quickly turns into cries of pain, making Trish's smile drop in worry. "Ally?! Are you okay?! What's going on?! I'm not used to pregnancies, I've never been pregnant! What-"
Ally interrupts her rant with another cry of pain. "Trish! Hospital! Now!" She exclaims between two screams.
"Right. Let's go." Trish says, grabbing her suffering friend by the arm. After grabbing her purse on the way to the door, which she locks soon aterwards, the two young women make their way to Trish's car as fast as they can.
"Trish... You need to- AAAAHHHH!" Ally cuts herself off by a scream.
"What? I need to what?!" Trish exclaims, panick slowly taking over her.
"Call-" She gasps for air. "Austin."
"I'm on it." The latina gets her phone out of her pocket and presses number three, having Austin on speed dial, which she silently thanks God for. "Come on, pick up, pick up!" She mutters nervously, tapping on the steering wheel.
Meanwhile, Austin's in a meeting with Starr Records. So, when his phone rings, interrupting Jimmy in the middle of his sentence, he quickly apologizes after receiving an annoyed glare from the head of the record label. Noticing that the disturbing ringtone is actually a call from Trish, and knowing that Ally was supposed to be at the woman's house for the afternoon, Austin quickly gets worried.
"Umm... Sorry, I really have to take this." The blonde apologizes before quickly walking out in the hallway. He answers. "Hello?"
"What took you so long?!" An angry-sounding latina shouts in his ear.
"Geez, sorry! I just happened to be in the middle of a meeting with the head of my record label when you, oh, so politely interrupted him in the middle of a sentence."
"Yeah, yeah. Would you care a bit less if I told you that- AHHH!" Austin frowns as a scream interrupts Trish.
"Trish? What was that? What's going on? Where are you?" Austin quickly asks worriedly.
"That was Ally. I think she's in labor. We're in my car, on our way to the hospital. That's why I called you."
Austin's eyes grow the sizes of plates. "Ally's in labor?!"
"I think so. I'm not really experienced with pregnancies." Trish says before another scream is heard.
Austin sighs anxiously. "Get to the hospital, I'll join you as fast as I can."
"Hurry!" It's the last thing he hears before he hangs up, quickly going back in Jimmy's office.
"Sorry, Jimmy. I really have to go. Ally's in-"
"Labor." Jimmy interrupts him knowingly. "I heard everything. Now, what are you waiting for? Go!"
He doesn't need to say it twice. Austin runs to the nearest elevator, tapping his foot nervously, feeling like the elevator is going much slower than usual. As soon as it stops, Austin slips between the elevator's doors before running as fast as he can to his car. By the time you say the word song, he's already on his way to the hosiptal.
"Why do I always have to be late to everything?" He mutters to himself.
"Trish, we need to get to the hospital! Now!" Ally screams, gripping her seat.
"I'm going as fast as I can!" Trish replies.
"... Hey! We're back with Austin Moon's latest hit; Upside Down!" The radio announcer, well, announces, before Austin's voice is heard in the car. Only a few seconds later, Ally's screams double.
"Trish! Turn off the radio!" Ally exclaims, turning even more red (if that's possible).
Trish quickly obeys to her friend's order. "Well, now we know she's a daddy's girl." Trish attempts to lighten up the mood. Not working.
"Oh, thank goodness." Ally whispers as she sees the hospital coming closer.
"Hang on, Ally! We're almost there!"
Five minutes later, the car is parked and Trish's helping Ally out of it.
"Help! Help! My friend is in labor!" Trish cries for help are heard all over the parking lot. Not even a minute later, a nurse is helping Ally get on a wheelchair and quickly pushes her in the hospital, Trish running as fast as she can behind them.
As soon as Austin parks his car in the hospital's parking lot, he runs inside. This time, he decides to take the stairs. No way he's taking the elevator, it'll only make him even more late than he already is. He's talking by personal experience.
Out of breath, he burst in the waiting room, making a few people look at him strangely. He ignores them and speed-walks to the front desk.
"Hey, umm... My wife's in labor. Her name's Allyson Moon. Could you tell me what room she's in?" He asks the receptionist, stll trying to catch his breath.
"Allyson Moon... Ah, yes. Room 523. You can't go in now, but I believe she has a friend waiting by the door. You may join her if you want." The lady replies. Austin nods and starts searching for room 523. He finds it soon enough, also finding Trish while doing so.
"Isn't one person allowed to go in when someone's in labor?" Austin questions.
"I don't know. Like I said earlier, I'm not good with pregnancies." The shortest of the two replies with a helpless shrug.
Austin sighs and decides to knock on the door. A few seconds later, a farely old man opens it.
"Hey, umm... My wife's in there. Aren't I allowed to go in?" The blonde questions, eyebrow raised.
"Are you Austin?" The man asks. Austin nods. "She's been screaming your name ever since she got here, asking for you. Yes, you can come in." He opens the door wider, letting him in.
"Austin, thank goodness you're here! I thought you'd be la- AAAH!" Ally once again cuts herself off with a cry of pain.
"Shh, shh... It'll be fine, in a few hours, everything will be alright, and we'll have our daughter with us." Austin tries to calm her down, taking her hand in his. Big mistake, as not even a few minutes later, he's pretty sure his hand is broken.
"How'd it go?" Trish asks Austin, who had just left the room, standing up before walking over him. Austin and Ally's parents, along with Dez, all copy her actions.
"Pretty well, I guess. I'm pretty sure my hand will be blue for a couple of days, but whatever." He smiles tiredly, but happily. "She's healty, and they're currently cleaning her up. You guys can come in, now." He waves them over and they all enter the room. Trish immediately rushes to Ally, the brunette's parents doing the same only a few seconds later. The three of them hug her tightly, congratulating her.
Austin watches with a small smile on his face his two friends and his wife's parents. He's taken out of his thoughts when he feels someone place their hand on his left shoulder. He looks to his left to see his parents and Dez standing there with proud smiles on their faces. Turns out Mike, his father, is the one who placed his hand on Austin's shoulder.
"'She'?" Mimi, his mother, asks, a hopeful look in her eyes.
He nods. "Yeah. She."
She squeals and hugs him tightly, making Mike remove his hand from his son's shoulder.
"I'm so happy for you, Austin!" She exclaims, releasing the hug a few seconds later.
Then, it's Mike's turn, placing his hand back on Austin's shoulder. He smiles at him, a mix of emotions in his eyes. Austin manages to see pride, and happiness, which makes him pretty happy himself.
"Congrats, son. I'm sure she'll be a really amazing kid. Just 'cause she's yours." Mike tells Austin, not a hint of lie in his voice or eyes, making Austin believe that he's saying to truth. And he is.
The younger Moon grins. It's not often than Mike opens up like this and tells Austin how proud he is of his son. And hearing those words coming from his mouth is just plain amazing. "Thanks, Dad. That means a lot."
Mike nods, trying to keep the strong look, and pulls his son in a tight hug. "I'm proud of you, Austin. You're really an amazing guy."
"Thanks." Austin replies, his voice breaking, hugging his father even tighter. "You're pretty awesome yourself."
From her spot beside the two most important men in her life, Mimi wipes some tears from her cheek, not having seen Mike and Austin like this very often. After a few seconds of fighting with herself, she joins the hug. Dez, seeing this and being Austin's 'pratically brother', joins the group hug. After a bit, the four pull away. Mike and Mimi go see Ally, who's been watching Austin's 'moment' with his parents with a small smile.
Dez then turns to Austin. "Congrats, buddy. I'm proud to be your best friend."
"Thanks, man. That means a lot." Austin smiles.
"I better be that kid's godfather, I'm telling you that." Dez jokes, making Austin chuckle.
He nods, remembering his conversation with Ally about their daughter's godparents. "Yeah. Ally and I already talked about it. You and Trish are the godparents. I'm not even asking your permission or whatever, 'cause I know you two will say yes anyway."
Dez nods, knowing his friend has a point. "True that."
As they hear a chorus of 'aww's and 'ooh's, the two friends turn to see the new member of the Moon family being placed in Ally's arms by a nurse. Austin and Dez walk over Ally's bed, and Austin sits on Ally's hospital bed while Dez stands beside Trish.
Ally smiles tiredly at Austin, her gaze shifting from her daughter to her husband. "Want to hold her?"
His face lights up and he smiles, nodding. "Duh. Of course I want to."
Ally giggles and carefully places her daughter in Austin's awaiting arms. "Here."
"What are you going to name her?" Trish asks the question on everyone's mind.
Austin and Ally exchange a look before turning back to their families and friends. "Amber." They both answer at the same time.
"That's so cute! I think it fits her." Penny smiles, eyeing her grand daughter.
Ally smiles at her mother. "Thanks."
"Why that name, though?" Lester asks, curious.
"We met a fan on tour, during a meet & greet. She was nice and pretty, we heard her sing, and she was pretty amazing. She was polite, but still had a crazy side, from what we've seen during the concert when we spotted her with her friends. Her name was Amber. We both thought that if our daughter ever turned out like her... We'd have an amazing daughter. So... Yeah. Amber it is." Ally explains. Everyone nods in approval.
"I'm sure she'll be even more amazing than that." Trish says. "After all, she is you guys' daughter." She points out, making it sound like it's the most obvious thing in the world.
Ally smiles widely at her friend's words. "Thanks, Trish. That means a lot."
Several hours later, everyone leaves, except for Austin, who stays with Ally and Amber in Ally's hospital room.
"She looks like you." Austin breaks the silence after looking at his sleeping daughter for a few minutes.
"She has your hair and eyes." Ally replies.
"But she has your face, and I'm sure she'll be short when she'll be older."
Ally rolls her eyes at her husband's teasing, slapping his arm playfully. "Yeah, yeah, laugh all you want. At least I'm not the freakishly tall one."
"Nope." Austin grins. "You're the freakishly short one."
Ally yawns. "Yeah, whatever." She replies, closing her eyes.
"Tired?"
She nods. "Hmm."
"You should sleep."
"I'm scared that this is all a dream, and that I'll wake up still pregnant."
Austin chuckles. "This is all real, I promise."
She sighs tiredly, eyes still closed. "Okay."
"I'll be right here when you'll wake up, don't worry."
"Promise?" She asks, opening her eyes to look at him.
He nods. "Promise."
BAM! Done!
I'm pretty sure this is the last chapter, but if you have any ideas, I'm opened to them :)
By the way, this is the first time I write something more than a one-shot, all in third P.O.V., so I'm sorry if... Well, if some things don't seem right, or whatever.
I realized, last night, while I was writing a bit of this chapter, that this was actually supposed to be like a one or two-shots. Turned out to be four. I'm giving a high-five to myself, right now ;)
Please review! I can't believe how much this... story of some sort is appreciated! It means a lot to me! Everytime I see a new review, or favorite, or follow, I litterally start jumping around, or smile like the perfect idiot I am ;P
Until next time,
R5AAFan :)
