Austin's POV
Okay, so I thought today would be great because Ally and I had the day off, but as we walked down the street toward the beach we ran into Dallas. "Hey, I've been looking for you guys everywhere. I was hoping that you could do a paternity test sooner. This way we can be sure so that we can work things out in advance." Dallas said nervously looking at Ally who touched her stomach's small bulge. "Um sure, but I have to set an appointment first. I'll contact you to let you know when they need a sample from you." She moved around him and I followed only stopping to pat his shoulder "Don't be so freaked about asking her next time, Ally understands your situation and doesn't want to cause you trouble. See you around man." Ally smiled praising me for my efforts by intertwining our fingers and kissing my cheek.
I looked back as we kept walking and Dallas walked off relieved as a weight was lifted from his shoulder. "Yes, next week would be great, Monday, got it. I am about three months and a half along. Okay, you have a good day too, bye." Ally hung up her phone. "Wow, you got that taken care of fast." I quickly turned my attention to her shocked. "Yeah, I guess sooner is better. Anyways, I want to be able to relax with you today." She pulled me onto the hot sand and toward the water. I smiled and followed her as she stopped and let my hand go to lay a blanket down and I put an umbrella over us. I had never seen Ally look more beautiful than the way she was glowing today. Ally turned toward me and laughed as I set my hand in the burning hot sand jumping.
"Here, let me help." Ally caught my hand as I shook it and blew on it before setting an ice cold soda can. When she looked up at me again I almost dropped the can because I could see what her father had told me about how she was always the one taking care of him and that she was his world, that if he had to give her up it would always be too soon. I couldn't explain in the words how beautiful she was to me and irreplaceable, but I could see that she knew both her father and my feelings. "Austin how's your hand now?" she pushed her hair behind her ear. I came back to reality "It's better, thanks. I now understand what your father means by being an adult even as a kid." She laughed "Ever since my mom passed away I became the one that took care of my dad. I put on a brave face every day, learned to make him meals, and helped him get back to work. I had minimal time to be a kid, but I was always having fun with dad. Anyways, you guys talking about me makes me feel nervous because of everything my dad has to embarrass me."
I smiled putting my hand over Ally's on the blanket "Nah, he was careful not to say anything that would embarrass you because you'd be mad him otherwise." Ally sighed "Thank goodness, my dad does have a brain." I laughed "That wasn't nice, but funny. Hey, let's get in the water. I'm burning up!" She laughed and we got up hurrying toward the water like we were kids and having a blast.
Ally's POV (Test Results Have Come in the Mail)
I sat down on the piano bench in the practice room with the envelope in my hands. Austin and Dallas had arrived a few minutes after I called and we hurried up here to find out the results in private. "Well, let's do this and find out before we get too nervous to." Dallas sighed. I opened the metal clasp lifting the lip of the manila envelope up. I pulled the results out of the envelope. "Ally, you're making us even more nervous. Tell us please." Austin clasped his hands together. I nodded and took a deep breath "It's-Dallas…" I gasped as I read on before looking up to see Austin frown and Dallas look shocked "Dallas, it isn't you. You're not the father the results are negative." I saw Dallas slump in relief yet a little disappointed as Austin became shocked and smiling. "Austin, the results are positive. You're the father of my baby!"
Austin patted Dallas's back "Virginia will be relieved to hear that and now you can have a regular relationship with her. I know you had a small hope it was yours, but relief won over that right. It's fine, go ahead and leave to go tell your girlfriend." Dallas nodded and then smiled at me "I'm sorry if my relief bothers you, but I just wasn't ready, bye Ally." He kissed my cheek and walked off. I looked at Austin as the door shut behind Dallas and he opened his arms to welcome me to his arms. I quickly crawled in his lap like a kid and hugged him. "Is it bad that I was relieved it was you? I'm sorry if thinking it was him upset you. I love you, Austin." I kissed him briefly. He murmured back, his face in my hair "I love you too, more than you can imagine." We stayed like that for a while before going to tell my dad and Austin seemed enthusiastic and more protective than ever. I only hoped that in the future everything would be normal.
I know I left it kind of hanging a little in this chapter, but now the father's identity is out. Keep a look out for the next chapter, until then ciao!
