Come In With The Rain

Chapter 10

Austin's POV

A week passes, a good week to be exact. I'm rarely at my hotel room, opting to sleep on Ally's couch. The paparazzi has yet to come to Miami, Brooke hasn't contacted me and to top it all off, Saturday is Audrey's fifth birthday party. As Saturday gets closer, Audrey starts to get restless because she knows that the day is coming up.

On Friday morning, she is about to burst with excitement at the breakfast table. "Mommy! I can't wait any longer!" Audrey says with a mouth full of pancakes. Ally laughs while taking her plate to the sink.

"Audrey, I told you that you have to wait until tomorrow to find out." Audrey frowns at Ally's statement.

"I know what mommy has planned and you're going to love it." I say to make her even madder.

"Fine, be that way." Audrey gets out of her chair and stomps off to her room.

Ally laughs before talking. "She gets it from you." I get out off my own chair to give Ally my empty plate.

"Hey now. You know you love our child like ways."

"I love it on the child. On you, not so much." I hit Ally on the arm with the towel before helping with the dishes.

"But seriously, she's going to love the party."

Audrey adores the party. On Saturday, around lunch time, she goes to the park after her birthday brunch with Ally, Trish and Ally's mom, to see pinks and purples. Balloons and castles. The best part, a horse and buggy. Her eyes are wide the whole time, taking in all the princess themed activities. "Wow! What happened to the park?" She runs to where I'm standing with Dez beside the blown up castle bouncy house.

"Well, my five year old daughter, mommy and I thought that you would like to be a princess for the day." Audrey jumps into my arms with excitement.

"I love it!" I put her down and she runs back over to Ally.

It took a few calls to get the horse and buggy, but it worked. I had to get the parks permission to put everything up and luckily they agreed. So we turned the park into a princess park. Filled with small castles, makeover stations and a huge cake. And Ally invited Audrey's friends from the day care. Audrey was in seventh heaven.

As Ally watched all the girls get princess makeovers, I stand by the food with Dez talking about everything. "I have to admit, when I found out that Ally agreed to pretend to be with you, I was shocked."

I take a sip of my drink, Pepsi, before responding. "I was to, but I know that it's only a matter of time until we're back together."

I flash back to the previous night, when Ally and I were wrapping Audrey's presents. Our hands had touched and we didn't pull away. I tell Dez about the memory and he gives me a weird look.

"Wow, you guys touched hands! Making big steps." I glare at him. "But seriously, I'm happy that you're back."

"So am I."

"But," But's are never good. "With you being back, means that drama is back as well." I shake my head slowly, to say that he's wrong. "Dude! The only reason Ally is really talking to you right now is because some crazy chick claimed that you got her pregnant!"

I turn my head to look at the people around the park. Everyone's playing and laughing. "That isn't the only reason, we do share a kid after all."

"Yes you do. Just think about what could happen if this Brooke girl showed up."

"That won't happen, if she was going to show up, she would've already done it by now."

"I'm just saying, be prepared for the worst."

Everyone knows that all stories go through rough patches that eventually lead to the down fall, I'm waiting for mine.

The girls get done with their makeovers when Audrey comes over to me and asks if she can ride the horse and buggy now, I tell her yes and we walk over to the awaiting carriage. Before I help her on, she runs off to the bath room. It gives me time to talk to Ally. "I think she's having a fun time."

"She really is." Ally smiles widely at me. "I hope it was worth the waiting she went through.

Audrey comes back a few minutes later. I'm about to lift her up until I hear foot steps come up behind us. "Well, if it isn't Miami's cutest family." The woman's voice speaks. I turn around to come face to face with Brooke. Of course. "Aw, this must be Audrey." She kneels to look at the little girl. "The love child." She speaks before I can pull her away.

"Brooke, go away, this is a private party."

"It's not actually." She turns to look at Ally. "Ally, you're much prettier in pictures."

Audrey looks over at the pregnant lady. "What's a love child?"

"It means that your parents weren't married when they had you. And that your daddy didn't want you."

"Brooke, leave."

She smiles evily at me. "I'm afraid that I can't. I have to let little Audrey here know about her daddy."

But Audrey had already ran off.

No one's POV

The little girl ran away from the fight that was about to break out. She walked over to the small pond where the geese were. She sit's down at the bench, being care full of her princess dress, and thinks.

What was the lady talking about? Audrey thinks to her self. Of course her daddy wanted her! He just had to slay some dragons first. She's too busy thinking that she doesn't hear the foot steps and the person sit down beside her.

She looks up to see the red head. "Hi uncle Dez." She says quietly.

"That doesn't sound like a proper princess greeting!"

"I don't feel like a princess right now."

The man looks over at the little girl. He felt bad for her, she didn't deserve what was happening around her. "Do you want to talk about it?" She shakes her head. "Okay then we don't have to."

They stay silent for a few moments, each of them looking at the small pond. "You know Audrey," Dez starts. "you're parents used to love to go to the park together. They would sit on this very bench and write songs." Dez contiues when Audrey doesn't say anything. "They did. Then they would go back to Sonic Boom and play the song on the piano."

"Am I a love child?"

Dez thinks over his answer before responding. "If a love child means a child who is loved by all, then yes."

"I don't think that's what it means uncle Dez." The little girl laughs.

"It got you to laugh at least!" He sighs. "It means that a boy and a girl loved each other very much and decided to have a baby out of that love."

"Why is daddy just now here?"

Dez has to really think about his answer. "Because, he had other things that he had to deal with first."

"That's what everyone says."

"It's the truth." Audrey looks down at her feet. "Hey, look here." Audrey lifts her head up. "Your daddy loves you a lot. If he didn't then he wouldn't have done all of this."

"I guess you're right."

"I know I'm right! Now, why don't me and you go into one of those castles and have a tea party while your parents get rid of the evil queen!"

Ally's POV

"You need to leave Brooke." Austin says to the pregnant, crazy women.

"I can't, besides I would love to get to know your 'girlfriend'. You know the one that you cheated on when you slept with me!"

"I didn't sleep with you!"

Brooke turns her attention to me. "You must be heartbroken that he would do that to you."

"You don't know what you're talking about." I manage to get a sentence out of my mouth.

"Oh, but I do. And I know that you two aren't even really together." She starts to go on a rant, but Austin must have called security on her because two men come up to escort her out. "You can't get rid of me! I will find out the truth and take you both down!"

As the crazy lady is dragged away, I look over at Austin. He looks devastated and disappointed. I then look around for Audrey only to find her no where. "Where is Audrey?"

This brings Austin back. We start to look around for the little girl, when we find her sitting at a small table with Dez, who was wearing a floppy hat. They're drinking out of small tea cups.

"Mommy, daddy! Join our tea party!" She must have gotten over the whole situation that had just occurred.

"Well, don't you and uncle Dez look cute!"

After taking a picture of the two, I decided that it's time for cake.

As the party comes to an end, and we tell everyone good bye. Austin, Dez and Trish and I start to clean up princess land. Audrey went home with my parents for the night. "So, Dez, what did you say to Audrey to calm her down?" Austin asks Dez as we clear off the tables.

"I just told her that her parents loved her and that's all that matters."

"Well thank you. That Brooke is crazy." We all nod at my statement.

After the tables are cleared off, I tell the married couple that their free to leave, leaving Austin and I alone.

We're both silent. Until Austin breaks that silence. "I'm sorry about the whole Brooke thing."

"It's not your fault." I say while folding up the table cloths. "You couldn't control it."

"We both know I could have."

I turn around to look at him. I wasn't in the mood to hear his 'I'm sorry' speech. "Austin, don't. Yes, if you would've stayed then we wouldn't be in this position. But I don't want to hear about that right now! I'm tired."

"Okay, I get it." As I carry the box of utensils to the car, I can feel Austin's eyes on me. When I walk back to him, he starts to talk. "Ally, do you think we could ever be us again?"

"We are us."

He gives me a look. "Not like this, like the couple version of us."

I let his question enter my mind. Could we? We had to pretend to be, wasn't that enough? I couldn't fully answer his question without him answering mine first. "Could you ever forgive your self?

I can see his eyes fill with thought. It takes a few minutes for him to respond. "Could you ever forgive me?"

"Whose to say that I haven't already."

"Have you really?" Austin's eyes bore into mine.

"I can't forgive you until you forgive yourself."

I leave him standing in the middle of the park. I was being honest, I can't forgive until he forgives him self. And a part of me knows that he never will. Especially with Brooke planning to plot against us. As I get into my car to drive home, I tell my self that things were about to change, whether it's for worse or better, I don't know.

Hey! Tomorrow will be two weeks since I last updated and that makes me very sad. But I'm back now! I'm not sure about this chapter but I needed to post and not keep you guys waiting any longer. I didn't know how to get the scene across so I hope I did okay. The next chapter will be another time jump and I'm hoping that it won't take as long to get up. Random fact, I named Audrey off of Audrey Hepburn. I actually want to name my daughter Audrey.

You can blame the wait on the one shot idea's that kept entering my brain. You can check them out if you want to.

Not much else to say but I'm sorry and I hope you enjoyed. Please leave a review :)

I do not own Austin and Ally
