Chapter Four

Austin had never thought putting together a crib would be this hard. If the crib was a new set of parallel bars, Austin would have had it sat up in a matter of minutes; a crib was so much more complicated. There were too many parts to a bed that would only hold a little baby. Austin grimaced as accidentally he dropped the leg of the crib; producing a loud thud.

"Austin is everything okay in there?" Payson yelled from their bedroom across the hall.

Austin picked up the leg, "Everything is okay Pay; I am just putting the crib together."

"That's what you said an hour ago!" Payson replied.

"It can't be that hard to put a crib together!"

Austin rolled his eyes, "It's harder than you think, Payson."

"Well you only have two more months to figure it out, Austin." Payson said.

Austin sighed as began to attach the leg of the crib to the frame, "I'm finishing it today, Payson."

"That is what you said last week!" Payson countered.

"I said I would finish the painting; not the whole entire nursery!" Austin defended himself. "Isn't Kaylie, Lauren, and Emily in town?" He asked, trying to get Payson to stop pestering him about finishing the nursery.

"No they're not." Payson answered.

"Are you sure?" Austin questioned, "I am pretty sure Lauren called me the other day telling me that everyone was flying in to the-." He stopped talking, remembering the conversation that he and Lauren had on the phone. She had called him to tell them that the girls were throwing Payson a surprise baby shower Lauren had also told him, not to tell Payson.

"Why would they all be flying in?" Payson asked.

"They are flying in," Austin paused, thinking of what to say next. "They are flying in to watch the World trails next week." He hoped Payson had bought the explanation.

"World trails aren't for another week," Payson said.

"They're coming in early," Austin blurted out before thinking, "Why don't you call them, I am sure they would love to hear from you."

"It might just do that right now," Payson replied. Austin sighed, at least now she would be occupied, leaving him to put the crib together. He only hoped now that Lauren Tanner wouldn't kill him for almost ruining the surprise.

...

"Very interesting," Brennan Toy the president of GymnastWorldTV, and editor of GymnasticsDaily said.

Kelly Parker smirked and leaned back in her chair in front of the president's desk, "So how much are you going to pay for this information?"

The president took off her black glasses, "Depends on what angle you want us to take."

"I want the angle that destroys the Rock," Kelly replied.

Brennan nodded, "I can see what I can do; I can't make any promises."

"What do you mean by that?" Kelly asked. This was her just to get revenge of Payson Keller who had stolen all of her sponsorships after the London games.

"Austin Tucker and Payson Keeler are gymnastics royalty; the NGO is probably ecstatic that two of the nation's most successful gymnasts in history are having a child together." Kelly frowned, at Brennan's words. "Many people won't see this as a negative."

"Unless you do your job and make it negative." Kaylie said. "I just gave the story of the decade, the least you can do is take a negative angle."

"I'll try," Brennan sighed, "I'll try to have the report on tonight's airing, and an article in next month's issue."

Kelly nodded, "Thanks for your time; I am assume my check will be in the mail by the end of the week."

"Yes, Kelly. It's great doing business with you again." Brennan said as the ex-gymnasts got up from her seat.

...

Austin groaned, as he heard his phone ring. He had just spent seven hours finishing up the nursery, the last thing he wanted to do was talk to anyone. He sighed as he set up from bed, grabbing his phone from the nightstand.

"Hello," He said quietly into the phone not wanting to wake up the sleeping Payson beside him.

"Turn your TV on to GymnastWorldTV, right now Austin." The voice on the other end instructed.

Austin grabbed the remote from the nightstand turning the TV on and then flipping the channel to GymnastWorld, "Who is this talking to me?"

"Kim," Payson's mother replied. "Call me back when the segment is over." She instructed before hanging up.

"This is Trina, reporting outside of the Denver Hospital where months ago, Payson Keeler was rushed her from passing out at the China meet." The young broadcaster said. Austin glanced over making sure, Payson was still asleep; before turning is attention to the TV again.

"Many of us thought that the Olympic Champion had just had a simple faining experience, we were wrong. "Little did we know that Payson was told that she was six weeks pregnant with Austin Tucker's child."

Austin frowned, he was angry. Why in the world did it matter to them that he and Payson were having a baby? They were grown adults, no longer teenage gymnasts.

"The two who both coach at the Rock, have reportedly only started dating a month after Payson found out she was pregnant." Trina added as she walked into a grassy area in front of the hospital.

Austin balled in his into a fist. Apparently the reporters couldn't even get the story straight. He and Payson had started dating before they knew she was pregnant. They also thought she had just passed out because she was pregnant, not because she suffered a miscarriage.

"Now, many people would be concern about the influence as role models they could have on gymnasts." Trina said.

Concern, Austin thought, nobody should be concern about him or Payson's lives. Especially the media.

"This had been Trina, reporting live from the Denver Hospital." Trina signed off.

Austin quickly turned off the TV, and grabbed his phone to call Kim back. "I just saw it," Austin said into the phone. "How did they find out?"

"I don't know Austin, but apparently they are making a big deal out of it." Kim sighed, "What did Payson think of it?"

Austin looked at the sleeping Payson, "I didn't wake up her up."

"Is there anything I can do?" Kim asked.

Austin ran his hand through his hair, "Not right now. Hopefully all of this will go away in a couple of days."

"Let's hope," Kim said.
