Chapter 8

*Austin's POV*

Ally and I are having a fairly private wedding ceremony. We're only inviting a few people so the paparazzi doesn't end up coming. Our wedding is going to be next weekend. On Valentine's Day actually. Ally's excited for it considering there was little planning to do. We found that old project I did from the beginning of senior year, our wedding budget plan. Fortunately, it was possible to make it work, and the only extra thing we needed, was to find Ally a maternity wedding dress. Ally was almost nine months pregnant now, and our little son or daughter was due on the 25th of February.

It was hard to find the perfect wedding dress, but we tried. We had to go to fifteen different bridal stores, all over Florida. It took almost four days because fans kept stopping us to take pictures. I didn't mind, but Ally was a little pissed off because of the fact she was tired of driving around and, well, hormones.

Anyway, we found the dress in a store that was in a small town near Orlando. We weren't planning on going that far, but, when you're in a car with Dez in the back seat shouting "Road trip!" every five minutes, it kind of hard not to. Because, if we didn't, Dez would've just sat there with sad eyes for the rest of the day(s). Trish would've been okay witht that, but I hate to see my best friend sad. Plus, as an early wedding gift, Trish and Dez got us into a theme park in Orlando for a few hours. Partly because they'd forgotten to get us actual gifts, and partly because we'd been driving around all over Florida for three days and we needed to relax.

We were in the theme park for about three hours, so it was about 7:30 when we left. Then we had to stop for supper because it was late and we hadn't eaten anything in seven hours. So, by the time we got home, it was almost one in the morning.

*Ally's POV*

The few days before the wedding were hectic. Austin got cold feet, and I had to calm him down. Dez got too excited and started throwing petals from the flower girl's basket, which we had to make him clean up. Also, Trish fell asleep in the limo on the day of and we couldn't find her. This made us almost late for our own wedding. That was, until we gave up looking and decided to leave, only to find Trish asleep on the seat.

"Trish!" I said, startling her, making her fall off the seat.

"Huh?" she asked, standing up.

"We were looking for you everywhere, now, sit down, we're gonna be late!" I exclaimed.

"Sorry!" she replied, sitting down. I signaled to the chauffeur to start driving.

"Why were you in here?" Austin asked.

"I finished decorating the outside of the limo and decided to come inside to see what was in here, and I lay down on the seat, but I guess I fell asleep," she said. Typical Trish.

"Well, you smudged your makeup on the seat, so I have to fix it," I said.

"I'll do it!" Dez volunteered.

"If you do it, I'll end up literally looking like a clown!" Trish argued. Dez frowned and crossed his arms, slumping in the seat.

*Austin's POV*

We got to the venue a few minutes before the cermony was scheduled to begin. Ally and I went to the back room to change. I had convinced Dez not to wear a multicoloured suit, but he'd insisted on a rainbow tie to make up for it. It wasn't the best fashion statement, but, whatever, there weren't many people here anyway. Mom, Dad, Lester, Penny, Jimmy, Kira, Mr. and Mrs. de la Rosa, JJ, and Dennis, Donna and Didi Wade. Not many, but enough.

I walked up the aisle. Dez and Trish soon followed with linked arms, which they didn't look pleased about. From there, our flower girl came down the aisle. She was one of our students who had been coming to the music factory for a year now, and although she was only five, could play the piano really well. Then, I watched as Ally came down the aisle with her arm linked with Mr. Dawson, who was letting out loud sobs of joy. Ally was too happy to notice though, a tear falling from her eye as well. I smiled at her and gazed at her smile, so beautiful it was nearly melting my heart. Then the ceremony began. Ally and I said our vows and then the reverend spoke.

"Austin Moon, do you take Ally Dawson as your lawfully wedded wife, to love and to cherish as long as you both shall live?"

"I do," I replied, not taking my gaze from Ally for one second.

"Ally Dawson, do you take Austin Moon to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and to cherish, as long as you both shall live?"

"I- I-" Ally started, but flinched. I looked at her, worried. "I think my water broke!" I froze in shock. Penny ran off to get a vehicle to drive Ally to the hospital. Trish and I helped Ally to the car and sat in the back with her for the drive.
