ALLY:

Dr. Reynolds took the cup of piss with blood in it from me and she asked me to sit back up on the table. She took the stethoscope from around her neck and told me,

"Breathe in,"

I breathed in.

"And breathe out."

I exhaled. I looked over in the corner of the room to see Austin slightly grimacing while holding Isaac. He said to me,

"Ally, I'm going to be back in a few minutes. I'm going to change Isaac real fast."

I said,

"OK."

I could hear Austin mutter,

"I can't wait until you're old enough to be potty trained."

I saw Austin pick Isaac up, placing him on his hip and then he picked up the diaper bag and walked out of the exam room. My doctor picked up a light, flashing a light on my face.

"Looks like that rash is getting worse."

I said,

"Yeah it is."

"After we're done here, you should go to the pharmacy and pick up some cream for it. If you're going out in the sun, you must apply and reapply sunscreen."

I saw Austin come back in with Isaac on his hip and the diaper bag on his shoulder, and then he closed the door behind him and he sat in the nearby chair, holding the toddler on his lap. The doctor picked up a light, flashing it in my eyes and I shielded them. Holy fuck was that a bright light. I squirmed a little and my eye watered a little. My doctor said to me,

"I think you're going to need a blood draw, too."

I said,

"OK."

I changed out of the gown and got back into my clothes and Austin was just standing in the middle of the room, holding the toddler on his hip and with the diaper bag on his shoulder. I got dizzy and then pushed against the door.

"Are you OK?"

Austin asked me.

"I hope so. I just feel a little lightheaded. Unfortunately I need a blood draw today."

I said,

"I should probably get you down to labs."

Isaac had his arms around Austin's neck and he started saying,

"Dada."

"Dada? Yeah, I'm your dada."

I smiled as I watched Isaac gently pat Austin's face and push his cheeks together. The three of us walked out of the elevator and we saw a guy with a service golden retriever and little Isaac was pointing to the dog and saying,

"Daddy!"

Austin was saying to him,

"Yeah, you like his dog."

"Yeah."

I said to Austin,

"He's very perceptive for a fifteen-month-old."

The sexy blonde laughed.

"I read to him and I play learning and language games with him and he loves it."

Austin asked me,

"Hey, Ally, other than your doctor's appointment, do you have any plans today?"

This made me tremble with anticipation. I knew too well what was going to follow the "Do you have any plans?" if I answered yes. If fourteen or fifteen-year-old me had been asked that by Austin Moon, I would have danced around like I just won the lottery. Of course, when I was fourteen and fifteen, I had mindless yet adorable preteen fantasies about him asking me out, him bringing me my glass slipper or kissing me after I fell into a poisoned apple induced coma. But then there was a spoilsport voice in my head that would say,

"Yeah, like that's gonna happen."

I said,

"No, I'm free. I have a lot of time on my hands because I'm only taking three classes at school and I don't always get homework and I don't have a job. A lot of time on my hands sometimes gets boring, and to be quite honest, kind of lonely."

He said,

"Great. Because I thought we could go get Starbucks or something after your blood draw, my treat, and then I could bring you to my house and we could cuddle and watch Netflix or Hulu or something. Isaac will probably go down for his nap around twelve, twelve thirty."

The toddler yawned as he nuzzled on his dad's shoulder. Austin said,

"I think he's getting ready for nap time right about now."

I laughed as I went to sit in the chair and the nurse gave me a bottle of apple juice and a cookie and I ate the cookie and the juice and Austin was standing right in front of me while he was balancing Isaac on his hip and he saw the nurse stick the needle in my arm and he was pointing and saying,

"Ally hurt."

He pronounced it as "Awwy", but I wasn't going to critique how a toddler would pronounce my name.

Austin whispered,

"No, buddy. They're not going to hurt Ally."

The nurse covered where she pricked me, which was on the inside of my elbow, in a pink band-aid with Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty on it.

"I borrowed some band-aids from pediatrics."

I said,

"That's perfectly fine. Anything that suppresses the bleeding from my blood draw. I'll give this to your doctor and you should get the results within seventy-two hours."

"Alright."

Austin helped me up and he asked me,

"How do you feel? Are you dizzy?"

I said,

"No, I'm fine."

He said to me,

"Where do you want to go to lunch?"

I said,

"I'm in the mood for Dairy Queen."

The hot blonde said to me,

"You're the one who had to pee in a cup and had to get a blood draw, you get to pick."

Girls needed and deserved more guys like Austin. He walked me over to the car and put Isaac in the car seat and we drove up to Dairy Queen, I got a cheeseburger, a side salad and a Strawberry Banana Julius smoothie, Austin got himself a cheeseburger and the biggest thing of fries I'd ever seen and a Strawberry Banana Julius smoothie. He drove me to a building called The Atlantic Doral and I asked,

"Is this your home?"

Austin said to me,

"Yeah."

I said,

"You can get the food, I'll carry the baby."

"OK."

I opened the door and I opened the door to Austin's car, and carried Isaac on my hip, while he was holding his sippy cup and Austin had the diaper bag on his shoulder, grabbing three plates and I watched him put Isaac in the high chair, refilling the sippy cup with milk and he was eating some of the fries that Austin had bought and more of the cheerios and goldfish from the container. As my love interest and I were eating, we both were watching the toddler eating and I said,

"I love how he feeds himself."

Austin laughed.

"He started doing that around nine months."

We finished eating and Austin said,

"OK, Isaac, it's time for your nap."

I watched him put Isaac in the crib and cover him with a blanket and we went to cuddle up on the sofa under a sherpa blanket.
