I walk downstairs and see Aiden sitting on the couch texting. I smile and walk over sitting next to him, "Who are you texting." He smiles, "Candace." I smile and hit his shoulder with mine making him laugh. "You guys have been texting and talking forever just make it official bro." Aiden laughs and shakes his head, "Not yet." I shake my head and stand up laughing, "She is a Victoria Secret model for heavens sake and she likes you Aiden, just ask her out." He looks up at me, "I don't know." I put my hands on his shoulder making him look at me, "Trust me, just do it." He nods and looks back down at my phone, "I need to do it in person though." I laugh and push away, "Start thinking and I will help." He smiles and runs to his room to start coming up with ideas.
I pull my phone out and sit on the couch seeing a text from Jacob, "What's up baby?" I smile and hit the call button. "Aubrey, what's up?" I shrug, "I'm bored, want to come over." I hear movement and then, "Yeah, but what about your parents." I shrug, "I can invite Becky, Chris and Kim to come over as well." I hear a long sigh and then, "Okay, I can be there in twenty." I smile, "Awesome, I will text the others." I hang up after saying goodbye and send a quick text to the others and quickly get replies that they will be right over.
Chris has lived next store to us for years. I basically grew up with him. He is amazing. Adam likes his sister Kelly. I hear a knock on the door and open it to see Chris smiling it. He pulls me in for a hug and kisses my cheek. "What gave me the honor to come over today?" I laugh and sit down on the couch followed by him sitting next to me. "I was bored and wanted Jacob to come over but I need others as well." I smile and he sighs, "Fun." I lean my head on his shoulder and smile at him, "I invited Kim and Becky over as well." He looks down at me, "Double fun." I smile and he places an arm around me holding me to him. "Are you going to stay in sweats all day?" I laugh and look down at my sweats and t-shirt. My hair is in a messy bun. I shrug, "Why not?" He smiles and kisses my head, "Have I ever told you that you act so much like your mother." I laugh and nod, "All the time, you say I act like my dad personally wise and I dress like my mother." He smiles, "Just wondering." I smile and lean into him. Chris has and is my best friend. I had such a huge crush on him when I was younger. My dad wanted him to move because of it. I didn't get to see him for so long because my dad kept me away.
I hear footsteps and look up to my mom coming down the stairs in sweats and a tank top. "Oh Chris, how are you?" He smiles, "I am great." She smiles, "That is great sweetie. I haven't seen you in so long. You are looking quiet handsome." I watch him smile and blush slightly, "Thank you." She smiles and waves a hand at him, "Don't be embarrassed, I practically helped raise you." He smiles and I laugh, "Mom." She shrugs, "My bad. Great seeing you again Chris." He nods and I watch her walk down the hallway and to the twins rooms. He looks at me and I smile, "You know she has always loved you." He laughs and nods, "I know. She always said she wanted to adopt me." I laugh and look up when I hear footsteps again. My dad looks up and sees Chris, "Glad to see you again Chris." He smiles, "You too Mr. Moon." Dad waves him off, "I told you call me Austin." Chris smiles and nods. "Aubrey I have to work in the music room." I nod and watch him go down the hallway.
Chris shakes his head, "I never thought he would like me." I laugh, "Neither did mom or I." He laughs and we hear the doorbell. I get out of his arms and walk to the door to see Becky and Kim. "Hey." They all hug me and walk into the living room to join Chris. Becky looks at me then him, "Really Aubrey." I shrug, "My house, you can always leave." She sighs and sits down. Kim greets Chris and he smiles and greets her as well. We all put a movie in and chill watching it.
I hear the doorbell half way through the movie and walk over and open it to see Jacob standing there smiling at me. "Sorry, I'm late my mom made me clean my room first." I smile and hug him. He kisses my head before pulling me away slightly and kissing me. We walk into the living room and he sits on one side of me on the couch and Chris is on the other side.
After the movie we all go outside and lay on the grass with the music blaring just having fun and talking. Becky and Kim are playing volleyball. Chris looks at me, "Want to play?" I shake my head, "Maybe later." He nods and looks around before taking his shirt off and unbuttoning his pants and kicking his shoes to the side. I watch him jump in the pool and come up with a huge smile on his face. "I love your pool." I laugh and nod, "Only the best for daddy." He smiles and starts to swim around. Jacob holds my hand and kisses me. "Do you want to come over for dinner?" I shake my head, "I can't." He sighs and looks around. "My mom misses you." I nod, "You know how important dinner is for my mom." He nods and looks up at the sky.
I hear footsteps and let go of Jacobs hand to see Aaron come out. "Mom sent me to ask if you can please send your friends home. It is late and she needs help dad is inviting Logan over." I nod and stand up dusting my sweats off. "Sorry guys. I didn't know how late it has gotten." Becky hugs me and whispers in my ear, "I want pictures." I laugh and hug her. Kim smiling and kisses my cheek. "I want his number." I laugh and push her away with Becky. They both laugh and walk away. Aaron smiles, "I will escort you two." They smile at him, "Oh thank you." I watch them hook arms with him as he walks them outside.
Jacob sighs and kisses me quickly. "Text you later." I nod and watch him walk away. Chris gets out of the pool and shakes his head. "Do I have to leave?" I turn and laugh, "I don't know." He puts an arm over my shoulder, "I don't want to go home yet." I laugh, "Well grab your clothes and lets go ask mom." He smiles wide and follows me in with his clothes in hand. I see mom cooking and lean up against the counter, "Mom." She moves to stir another pot, "Yeah baby?" I laugh, "Chris has something he wants to ask you." I look at him and watch his face go worried and shocked. She turns and wipes her hands smiling, "What is it?" He looks at me, "Um, uh… Do I have to leave?" She looks at me and I start laughing and Chris looks at me confused. She turns back to him smiling, "Of course not Chris." He smiles and hugs her, "Thank you." She laughs and pats his wet shoulder, "Go get dried." He nods and takes off upstairs. She turns to me shocked, "Why did you make him think he would have to leave?" I shrug, "I didn't know if you meant him too or not." She shakes her head, "Of course not." I nod and look around, "What do you need help with?" She shakes her head, "I'm good. Just go get dressed." I nod and walk upstairs to my room to find Chris staring at my pictures shirtless.
I close my door and look at him, "What are you doing?" He shrugs, "When did you get this picture?" I walk over and see a picture of him and me on the wall from when I had a crush on him and we were in my back yard playing and I leaned into him and he smiled and kissed my cheek. I shrug, "I think my mom took it. I have had it up there forever." He smiles, "I like it. I kind of miss being that age again." I look at him confused as I sit on my bed, "Seriously." He nods and sits on my chair, "Yeah, to much to worry about now. What school we are going to, what we are going to do for the rest of our lives, grades and just all the drama and everything." He smiles at the picture, "Back then there was no worry. We didn't have to think about anything except what we wanted for lunch." I smile and look at the picture nodding, "Yeah, your right."
I look at him and then a thought comes to my head, "Yeah but what about girls and boys?" He looks at me, "Back then we didn't really like them too much, now they are some of our greatest distractions." He laughs and shakes his head, "Not everyone is like that." I shrug and look at the clock. "Crap, I have to get dressed." He laughs and then flashes his all so perfect smirk, "Can I help?" I laugh and shrug, "I don't care but you got five minutes." I walk over and grab my makeup I am going to want and some stuff for my hair.
I turn around and see Chris looking in my closet lost. I smile, "Get out, I have to get dressed." He pouts, "I don't wanna go home yet." I smile, "Go see Aiden for a few minutes." He throws his shirt over his head and sighs, "Fine." He acts upset and then smiles making me laugh.
I walk over and grab my black jeans with a rip at the knee and a white crop top that is spaghetti strapped and zips up the back. I leave my hair down and just brush it and put some moose in it. Knowing how crazy my dad is about this artist I grab my black high heels and put them on. I make my eyes smokey eyed and just put some lip gloss and eye liner on with mascara.
I hear my mom yell my name and I leave my phone on the dresser as I walk out of my room and downstairs. I see dad talking to this really cute looking guy. I never really pay attention to who dad signs and everything. I walk over and Aiden smiles, "I have the perfect plan for later." I nod and smile. Dad turns and starts to introduce everyone. Chris is standing next to me on one side and Aiden on the other. "This is a family friend. Chris, this is Logan, Logan this is Chris." I watch him shake hands with him. Dad turns to me, "This is my daughter Aubrey. Aubrey this is Logan, Logan this Aubrey." He stares at me and smiles, "Hi, I am Logan." I smile, "Aubrey." I stare into his eyes and he smiles wider. Dad turns to Aiden, "And lastly this is Aiden. Aiden, this is Logan. Logan this is Aiden." They shake hands and dad turns and looks around, "That's my family." Logan smiles, "Well they all seem wonderful." He smiles and we all walk into the dining room and sit down to eat.
Chris sits on one side of me and Logan ends up on the other side of me. Mom made some chicken type thing but it is really good. Logan smiles up, "This is really good Mrs. Moon." She smiles, "Thank you Logan." Dad looks around, "Anyone have anything they would like to talk about?" We all shake our heads and then Logan looks up, "If I may?" My dad nods his head, "I was wondering what grade everyone is in?" Dad smiles and I start, "I am in eleventh grade." Aiden smiles, "Tenth." Adam and Asher both say, "Ninth." Aaron looks down, "Sixth." Logan smiles and turns to Chris who almost chokes, "Oh, I'm in eleventh with Aubrey." He nods, "I am in eleventh as well." I look at him and smile, "You still go to public school." He nods, "Mom said I need to finish the way I started and she believes this will keep me grounded." Mom looks at him, "Do you plan on going to college?" He nods, "I do. I want to study music and business." I look at him, "Like my dad?" He nods and smiles turning to me, "Yes, I admire him so much. He worked for years to get what he wants. He had a successful music career and now has a successful producing career. He is a worldwide known name and he has an amazing family. He has everything anyone could ever want." Dad smiles, "It took a lot of work to get where I am right now but like I told you when I signed you. Stick with me and I can make you everything and more." He smiles wide and we all go back to eating.
I take a drink of water and it goes down the wrong way making me cough. Chris hits my back helping me. I look up and my mom looks concerned. "I'm okay." Dad nods and I watch relief flood over his face. Chris looks at me, "You sure?" I nod and he nods before going to eat. Logan looks at me, "Are you two dating?" I think everyone coughed on their food or drink or spit it out. He looks around confused. Dad shakes his head, "She doesn't have a boyfriend." Logan nods and looks at me and then back around the table. Mom smiles, "Yeah she doesn't date." I just look down at my plate as the talk goes on.
After dinner Chris smiles and hugs me before kissing my cheek. "You look amazing Aubrey." I smile and look down, "Thank you." He hugs me one more time, "I like you in sweats better, its more you." I laugh and watch him walk out the door to head home. I go and sit on the couch. The twins and Aaron went to play a game. Aiden is helping mom and dad with the dishes. Logan sits next to me and smiles, "Hi." I smile, "Hi." He looks around, "You look nice." I smile, "Thank you." He nods and looks around before Aiden comes in and sits in the recliner. Logan and him start to talk about something. I hear mom and dad in the kitchen talking.
Dad comes out and smiles at Logan, "Do you want to see what I am working on before you leave?" He smiles and stands up nodding. Mom comes out and looks at dad, "I will be upstairs waiting." He nods and she smiles as she walks over and kisses Aiden and I telling us goodnight. "It was nice meeting you Logan." He shakes her hand, "You too Mrs. Moon." The three of them head down the hallway and a few minutes later mom comes back waves night to us and goes upstairs.
Aiden looks at me and smiles, "So Candace will be in town next week. She is coming home and I was wondering if you would help me make our backyard look amazing and help me cook food for her." I smile and nod, "Of course." He smiles and looks around before yawning. "Night Aubs." He comes over and kisses my head before heading upstairs. I turn on the television and start to watch some show. I hear footsteps and look to see Dad and Logan. "So I will see you tomorrow to start work on that song." He nods, "Right after school." Dad nods and shakes hands with him. "Have a great night Logan." He kisses me and heads upstairs to bed.
Logan puts his jacket on and grabs his keys. "It was great meeting you." I smile get up walking to the door and nod, "You too Logan." He smiles one more time before turning and opening the door. I watch him walk to his Honda civic and drive off. I close and lock the door before walking upstairs to change into some sweats and hoodie before walking back downstairs to watch television knowing I wont be able to sleep.
AUSTIN'S POV…
I walk upstairs and poke my head in Aiden room to see him falling asleep. "Night buddy." I pull his door back up and walk into my room to see Ally sitting up in bed with one of my t-shirts on. I smile and strip down to my boxers before getting in bed. She turns to me, "Austin I really have something I need to tell you." I nod and look at her, "I am all ears baby." She smiles and looks down biting her lip, she pulls her hair to her and starts to chew on it and I laugh. I put my hand up and pull her hair away and smile at her, "You can tell me anything Ally. Don't be nervous." She nods and sighs, "Okay." She looks around before taking a deep breath and looking at me, "Austin, I'm pregnant."
I look at her and then smile wide, "You were nervous to tell me that?" She nods and I laugh, "Ally you know I love all of my kids. I couldn't imagine my life without them. This is amazing." I hug her and pull her into a passionate kiss. We pull away when air is much needed and I look at her smiling, "How long? How far?" She looks nervous and looks down, "I'm gonna say around four months." I look at her as it registers. My wife is four months pregnant and never told me. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" She shrugs, "I honestly found out a month ago and have been trying to tell you but I am so tired and I keep falling asleep before I could tell you." I look at her and let it sink in. "Does anyone else know?" She shakes her head then stops, "Aiden found out because he walked in on me canceling my doctors appointment until I could tell you." I nod and look at her smiling again, "I am happy." I watch relief take over her face and smile. I kiss her and hug her. I can't believe she thought I would be anything but happy with this news. I love my kids and my wife. She pulls away and smiles up at me, "The doctors appointment is for Tuesday." I smile and kiss her head, "I will be there." She smiles and I turn the light off as I move down in bed and she lays her head on my chest. I kiss her head and rub circles on her arm as I smile and think about my new child who will be coming in to this world soon.
