"Mom, do we have to walk to school?" Alex whined as they walked down their block.

"It's a beautiful day Alex," Ally answered as she walked Prince on his leash.

Ariel nodded in agreement. It was beautiful. Birds where chirping and the sun was out. It was as if nothing could go wrong. She liked nature, and all of its beauty. "Mommy, can I walk Prince?" she asked.

"You did last time!" Andrew spoke up.

"I thought you did last time!" Alex pointed at him accusingly. "So it's my turn."

"No," Ariel shook her head at both of them. "It's mine!" This got all of them to start arguing while Ally got in the middle, Prince's leash tangling around her. Andrew and Alex started yelling in each other's faces while Ariel covered her eyes. Why can't my family be normal? I'm a good person.

"Whoa whoa!" Ally broke all three of them apart. "Hey hey, back off! Or I'm not letting any of you walk him," she said.

They stared at her for a few minutes. "She started it," Alex pointed to Ariel.

Ariel was about to protest, but Ally beat her to it. "I don't care who started it I'll finish it," Ally said firmly.

"Sorry mommy," they all said.

Ally's gaze softened. "Now, who's turn was it really?" she asked gently.

"Me!"

"No, me!"

"Pick me mom, I'm your favorite," Alex said, smiling.

"Very funny," Ally rolled her eyes at her son, shaking her head and laughing. Suddenly her phone buzzed. "Here Ariel, you hold Prince's leash while I answer this call." She gave her daughter the leash.

Ariel stuck her tongue out at her brothers, that where both shaking their heads as she showed off.

"Hello?"

"Hey Ally," Jason's voice said through the phone, sounding distressed about something.

"Jason? Where's your mother?" Ally asked, surprised. Why would Jason be calling her.

"Uh...she's...busy right now."

"Busy?"

"She's throwing up," he said slowly.

"Oh, then-"

"Give it to me," Piper's voice came into the conversation. Her tone was impatient and it sounded exhausted. Jason must have did as ordered right away, because the phone went straight to Piper.

"Are you okay?" Ally asked in concern.

"What do you think?" she snapped.

"Okay, okay, dumb question. Why are you calling?"

"I was wondering if you could watch the kids for me. I already called in sick and I don't have a sub."

"Piper..." Her and Austin both weren't working today, and they were looking forward to some alone time, but if she watched Piper's students, they wouldn't have any time alone. Ally loved the triplets to death, but every wife needed alone time with her hubby.

"Please Ally. They really like you," she begged.

Ally sighed. "Fine."

"Thanks so much, I owe you one!" Then she hung up.

"Who was it?' Andrew asked.

"Your aunt Piper, apparently she's sick and needs me to watch her fourth graders. So it looks like mom is coming to school with you today."

Ariel stayed behind with Jason as they walked him home after school. "I hope my mom's okay," he said.

"I'm sure she'll be fine" she assured her friend, taking his hand and he smiled at her, the smallest bit of blush forming on his face.

"You have such pretty eyes," she said dreamily. "Did I say that out loud?" Now it was her turn to blush as she put her head down, embarrassed.

Jason put her head up by placing her finger on her chin, and she faced him. "Thanks," he said, "you have pretty eyes too. And, a pretty face." He smiled as he looked at her. It was funny how Jason considered Alex and Andrew as his cousins, but Ariel? He didn't see her as a cousin. He wasn't related to her, and if he was, that'd be wrong. But he wasn't. He wasn't related in anyway to Ariel.

Piper still lived in the apartment that she was in since she moved to Miami. She had wanted to move for a while now, but just didn't have the money.

Austin knocked on the door, and after a few knocks, Piper answered. "Hey," Austin said, about to go in for a hug.

"Don't touch me," she said, and Austin backed away.

"Sorry, gosh" Austin said.

Ally looked at Piper. She wasn't herself. She hadn't be herself for awhile. Something was going on. "Piper, can I talk to you for a second? Alone?"

Piper softened. "Sure."

Austin and the kids entered the apartment while Ally and Piper went outside and sat down on the steps below her house. "So what's up?" Piper asked. "And thanks for watching the kids, that was nice of you."

"No problem," Ally said.

"They didn't give you any trouble right?"

"Nah, they were very polite and well-behaved."

"Oh, good, I'm glad."

Ally shifted. "Piper, you've been getting sick a lot lately, and, well, have you been to a doctor lately?" she asked awkwardly. Ally wished she could be less awkward about things, but she couldn't help who she was.

"No, I just thought it was..." she trailed off. "I don't know what's wrong with me," she said quietly. "Sometimes I'm fine then others I just wanna rip someones head off. I'm worried Jason is starting to be a little afraid of me at times. I always like to chase him around the apartment but lately I've felt no energy to; it's as if something sucks the life out of me. I can't figure it."

Ally nodded. "Have you been feeling tired a lot?"

"Well yeah, that's what I said!"

"Okay. What do you mean by you think Jase is afraid of you?"

"Well lately I've been snapping athim for no reason."

"So you've been having mood swings." Piper nodded. t wasn't a question, really, it was a statement. Taking a deep breath, she prepared herself for her most important question. "Do you think...you might be...pregnant?"

Piper's eyes widened. "P-Pregnant?"

"You seem to have the symptoms it comes with: tiredness, mood swings, nausea..."

"I can't be! Elliot and I are always..." suddenly she looked troubled. "The night before he left, we didn't use anything. Oh God...I'm an idiot! We're both idiots! Stupid! Stupid! Stu-"

"Get a hold of yourself!" Ally shook her. "We don't know for sure yet." She tried to be optimistic. But why was Piper freaking out so much? Children whereone of the greatest blessings one could get. Well, it was understandable. She and Elliot weren't married, and she knew if she really was pregnant, she'd have to tell Elliot.

"Yeah but with all the symptoms..."

Ally grabbed her shoulders. "It's gonna be okay. I'm gonna get the pregnancy tests, and I'll give them to you tonight. We'll do it together."

"Wait, Austin I need to make a quick stop at the store," Ally said.

"For what?" he asked.

"Uh..." she looked in the back where the triplets were; they all looked tired, but just in case, she whispered in his ear.

Austin's foot stepped on the brakes once the light was red. "PIPER'S P-"

"Shh! We don't know for sure!" Ally whispered harshly. "Don't tell the kids yet."

"Okay," Austin said quietly, and pulled up into the parking lot of the store.

"I'll be right back," Ally said, stepping out of the car.

"Can you look Ally?" Piper asked nervously. "I...I'm scared."

Ally nodded. "Of course." She looked at the pregnacy test. Two pink lines. Ally couldn't help but smile. She simply showed Piper the test. "Congrats," she smiled.

Piper smiled lightly. "Wow...so there's really another life in there?" She placed her hand on her stomach.

"Yeah," Ally smiled, taking her hand.

"That's incredible! I'm going to be a mom! Again!" She bounced up and down.

Jase came into the room in his pajamas, rubbing his eyes. "What's all the yelling about?" he asked tiredly. Ally opened, her mouth, but Piper said, "I'll tell him."

Jason waited patiently. "Jase," she brought the little boy closer and set him on her lap. "How do you feel about becoming a big brother?' she asked gently.

He smiled. "Really?! I'm gonna have a little sister or brother?!" He got off her lap and bounced around; Ally and Piper smiled at the sight of the excited boy.

"We're gonna do everything together. Me and the little guy, and-"

"It could be a girl, buddy," Piper said.

"Well you never know," Ally shrugged.

Jason bounced out of the room, ignoring what Ally said out of his own excitement. They watched him go with a laugh. "He's gonna be a great big brother," Piper said. "Hopefully he won't get jealous."

"I'm sure it'll happen, it's human nature. But he'll get over it, and I know he's gonna love his new sibling." Ally felt a wave of worry come over her. Elliot wouldn't be here to help Piper through the pregnancy; he could even miss the birth of his own child.

Ally came home at about 9:00; everything on her body felt exhausted. Austin was watching TV with his hand in the popcorn bowl. When he saw her he stood up. "Hey," he said, giving her a kiss and hug and looked at her. "So..."

"Looks like you're going to be an uncle again," she smiled, and Austin smiled to excitedly. He turned off the TV and lead her to their room. Ally looked in each of the triplets' rooms and kissed their cheeks as they slept.

They then entered their room and took off their shoes. Austin wrapped his arms around her. "Goodnight Ally, I love you," he whispered.

"Love you too," she said drowsily, and they let sleep overtake them.

Eh...This definitely isn't my best work, I guess I was just lazy. Hope you liked it anyway!
