Everybody applauded after Austin sang that song. I was so happy that he wrote that song for our child.
Austin walked off the stage and ran to hug me. He lifted me off the ground and spun around in circles.
After a few more spins, he put me back on the ground.
"Austin, that was amazing," I said. "I can't believe you wrote that."
"I wanted to show everyone how much she means to me," he said.
"Oh, Austin."
We hugged again. Then, he planted a small kiss on my cheek.
After that, we looked into each other's eyes. I quickly pulled out of the hug before anything else could happen.
"Umm… I'm gonna go to the restroom," I said. I walked away an didn't bother to look.
"Austin?" said a voice.
Austin looked behind him and found his gifriend, Kira.
"Kira, hey," he said.
"I need to talk to you."
"Okay."
She led him to the hallway. They sat down on the couch.
"What is it?" asked Austin.
"Austin, I think we should breakup," said Kira.
"Breakup? Babe, why would you want that? I love you."
"Austin, you're fixing to be a father. I don't want to keep you away from your daughter."
"She's gonna be with Ally, Kira."
"Look, Austin. My parents got divorced when I was six years-old. My brother and I were upset about this. I hardly ever got to see my dad at all. Everyday I would be asking my mom, 'Where's Daddy?' I don't want your daughter to be asking Ally that."
"Okay, Kira."
"One last kiss?"
"Sure."

I ran in the bathroom. I was realizing something. I have developed feelings for Austin.
Austin, Austin, Austin. The father of my daughter. I absolutely love everything about him.
Those brown eyes that I could stare into forever. That blonde hair that my fingers can brushed through gently. His singing voice that won the hearts of thousands of girls. Also those moments when our hands touched the piano.
I liked Austin. I really, really liked him. Maybe I don't just liked him. I'm…I'm…I'm…I'm in love with him.
I need to tell him. I need to tell him now.
I walked out of the restroom to look for Austin. When I turned a corner, I found Austin and Kira…making out.
My heart fell into my stomach. My eyes turned wide.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I turned and walked away.
My mouth was shaking and my eyes were watery. I felt like crying. I felt like my heart was a delicate apple in the protection of Austin's hands, and then he just bit it.
"Ally?" said a voice.
I turned and found Rosie.
"Oh, hey, Rose," I said.
"What's wrong?"
"Can we talk in the elevator?"
We walked inside the elevator.
"So what's up, Cous?"
"I'm in love."
"What?"
"I'm in love…with Austin."
"What makes you say that?"
"I'm not saying it. I mean it. I am in love with Austin."
"Then, tell him."
"I saw him kissing Kira. I forgot that he was still with her."
Suddenly, we hear BANG! The elevator shook.
"What was that?" I asked.
"The elevator must've stopped," said Rosie.
"I'll press the Emergency button."

After Kira broke up with him, Austin felt relieved. Why was I feeling like this, he thought.
Austin found Dez sitting down at the table.
"Hey, Dez," he said.
"Hey, Austin," said his redheaded friend.
"Kira and I broke up."
"Oh, sorry, dude. It's gonna be okay."
"No, I feel alright. In fact, it felt like nothing at all."
"Really?"
"Yep."
"Now it's time for you to confess your love for Ally."
"What?!"
"Austin, open your eyes. You don't just love Ally. You're in love with Ally."
"I'm n—"
"Austin, look me in the eye…and tell me that you are not in love with Ally."
He looked at Dez straight in the eye. "I'm…I'm…"
"I'm waiting."
"I…am. I am in love with Ally."
"You see?"
"I'm in love with Ally."
"You belong with her."
"No, it's more than that. She doesn't belong with me. I don't belong with her. We belong together."
"That's it."
"I gotta tell her."
"Go to her. Don't loose her like I lost Rosie."
—
The elevator has broken stuck for 30 minutes. Rosie and I were trapped.
"Oh, God," I moaned.
"Ally, what's gonna happen?" asked Rosie.
"I don't know, Rose."
"Eww!"
"What?"
Rosie was looking down at the floor. I looked towards her direction. I found a wet stain in between my feet.
"Ally, you dropped your drink," said Rosie.
"I don't have a drink."
"Well, you peed or something."
I felt like a wet spot in between my thighs. Suddenly, I realized something.
"Rosie."
"What?"
"My water broke."
"I thought you didn't have a drink."
"Rosie, I'm going into labor."
"Yeah, Alls. The labor of love. Austin and Ally. I already—"
"Rosie!"
"What?"
"The baby's coming!"
"Ehh what now?"
"The baby's coming."
She started yelling. "El bebé está llegando! ¿Qué es lo que vas a hacer?"
"Rose, English."
"What are we gonna do?!"
"I don't know. Ouch!"
My stomach started hurting. I leaned up against the wall and slid down to the ground.
I moaned in pain, while Rosie continues to freak out.
—
Austin and Dez found a group of people near the elevator. They also found Trish.
"Trish, what's going on?" asked Austin.
"The elevator broke," she answered. "Somebody's stuck in there."
"Who?"
Suddenly, they hear a familiar female voice screaming in Spanish.
"That sounds like Rosie," said Dez.
All three of them ran up to there.
"Rosie?" yelled Dez.
"Dez?" She responded.
"Rose, are you alright?" asked Trish.
"Yeah. Ally's in here with me too."
"She is?" asked Austin. He yelled at the guy who was fixing the elevator. "Get them out of there! She's pregnant!"
I was on the ground. Rosie was kneeling down to me. My legs were like wide open.
"Rosie!" I moaned.
"Just keep breathing," she commanded.
I kept breathing for like a minute and she's still telling me that. I finally snapped, "Rosie, before I make you quit breathing!"
"Calm down. Sheesh!"
"What do I do?"
"I've seen this in movies. So breathe. Whatever you do, don't cough or sneeze."
"Why not sneeze?"
"Cause when my mom was pregnant with me, she sneezed and I came out."
"Oh, okay."
"Also, close your legs."
She began to close my legs and I forcefully opened them.
"They're not suppose to close, Rose!"
"Well, how should I know?"
"Rosie, I'm in a lot of pain right now. Could you just stop freaking out right now?"
"Okay."
"Rosie?" said Dez, from the other side of the elevator door.
"Dez?" She responded. "Hey?"
"Hey? So…whatcha doing?"
"Well, I'm not hunting rabbits."
They both snickered.
"Welllll," said Rosie. "This is awkward."
"Because you're in a broken elevator?"
"That and Ally's in here with me."
"So?"
"I just wanna wish you happiness with Mindy."
"Are you trying to kill me?"
"What?"
"Rosie, Mindy means nothing to me. She was and never will be."
"Really?"
"Really."
"In this case, Dez, I love you."
"What?"
"I love you!"
Suddenly, the elevator door start shaking and making noises.
"What is that, Rose?" I shrieked.
The elevator door started opening. Dez was in there. He was opening the elevator door.
Holy crap! I had no idea Dez had gorilla strength.
Once Dez opened the door wide open, Rosie gasped, "Dez?!"
"Rosie!" He shouted.
He picked her up and spinned around in circles. Dez finally put her down and says, "I love you so much!"
"I love you too," said Rosie.
"Don't mean to interrupt your little makeup here but…" I said. "My water broke!"
