Ally POV

"I just thought of the perfect idea!" I announced as I walked into the living room where Austin was sitting at the piano. We were rehearsing a song, but I had gone into the kitchen to get drinks when the idea hit me like a ton of pickles.

"What's your perfect idea?" Austin asked as I sat down beside him.

"The song should be a duet," I said. "Instead of it sounding like you're singing for two people, we can change it around a bit so two people have to sing it!"

He brightened. "Good idea, Als!"

"I thought so, too," I grinned. "So, if we change that," I grabbed the pencil and scribbled out a few lyrics on the music sheet in front of us, "to that," I wrote a few things down, "it should work out awesome."

Austin played a few notes and sang what I had changed, but he stopped at the end of the line, looking at me pointedly.

"Well?" He prompted.

"Well what?" I replied, confused.

"Aren't you going to sing the next part?"

"Me?" I squeaked, than realization dawned. "Oh no, I meant a duet with someone else, not me!"

"Who else am I supposed to sing it with?" He chuckled.

"Uh, Taylor Swift?" I suggested lamely. "Selena Gomez?"

He stared at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Dez?" I finished weakly.

"Dez," Austin repeated.

"I ran outta names," I huffed. "But I can't sing it."

"Why not? You don't have stage fright anymore, Ally. Hell, you agreed to shoot a music video!"

"I know that, but still!"

"Still nothing. Come on, sing it," Austin ordered, but in a gentle way.

"Austin," I whined.

"Ally, it's just me," he said gently. "We've sang together a million times before, literally."

I sighed. "Start at the beginning."

He grinned. "Yes!"

He played the beginning notes before it was my turn to sing first:

(Ally)

Headline
Rumors and lights
Something's always going round
Cold eyes judging our lives
Like they know what's going down

They want to read us like a front page story
Up in our business like they're paparazzi
They think we're just another tabloid crush
In the end they don't know about us

(Chorus: Ally)
If they wanna talk, let them talk
(hey)
If they wanna whisper, then so what
(hey)
They don't know about us
They don't know about us
They don't know about u-u-u-u-us

If they wanna hate, let them hate
(hey)
Cause I don't matter what they say,
(hey)
They don't know about us
They don't know about us
They don't know about u-u-u-u-us

(Austin)
No sound,
Truth cutting out,
Like a game of telephone
New found talk of the town,
They don't wanna leave us alone

(Ally)
Pay no attention to the he said, she say
Yeah you're the only one I hear in my head

(Austin)
So let them dig they're just a tabloid pressure

(Both)
In the end they don't know about us

(Chorus: Both)
If they wanna talk, let them talk
(hey)
If they wanna whisper, then so what
(hey)
They don't know about us
They don't know about us
They don't know about u-u-u-u-us

If they wanna hate, let them hate
(hey)
Cause I don't matter what they say,
(hey)
They don't know about us
They don't know about us
They don't know about u-u-u-u-us

They don't know about us
(hey)
They don't know about us
They don't, no
They don't know about us
(hey)
They don't know about us
No

We finished what we had so far with big smiles on our faces. "You did it! It was awesome!" Austin said happily.

"That felt good," I breathed. "But we still need to finish it."

"We can do it later. When it's finished, all you have to do is sing it with me at my concert in a few weeks and we'll be all set!"

"Excuse me?" I said.

"My concert? You, me, this song. Duet. Three weeks. Earth to Ally?" Austin said, booping my nose. "Boop!"

I grabbed his hand from my face. "Don't 'boop!' ma nose."

"Sorry, couldn't resist," he grinned.

"Anyways, am I actually performing with you?" I asked.

"Just this song, yeah. Unless you want to do more, feel free to!" Austin told me.

"Just this song," I said quickly.

He nodded. "Alright." He stood up and stretched. His shirt rode up and showed his tanned, toned abs. Mmm, sexy as hell.

"So, I've decided to take you out for supper tonight," Austin said cheerfully.

I stared at him. "What did you break?"

"Nothing. Can a guy not take his girlfriend out for supper?"

I looked curiously at him as I stood up slowly. "He can."

"Well, exactly. So go get ready!" He said, nudging me towards the stairs. "And dress nice!" He added as I headed up to the bedroom.

I wonder what his deal was. Hmm. Something was up.

I shook it off and went through the closet, throwing all my nice clothes on the bed.

I picked out three outfits. One was a black strapless dress with black flats, the second was a pink cashmere sweater and skinny jeans with black pumps, and the third was a midnight blue, one-shouldered dress that cinched so the bottom flowed over my stomach and to my knees.

I decided to go with the blue dress, and paired it with my comfy black wedge ankle boots. I curled my hair and twisted it into a loose side braid, my bangs curled away from my face.

I did my makeup and inspected myself in the mirror. I looked pretty good, if I did say so myself.

Grabbing my black clutch, I went downstairs to find Austin. He was choosing ties in the mirror in the downstairs bathroom.

"Black or blue," he was muttering to himself as he held each one up. "Black, blue. Blue, black."

"Go with the blue, it'll match me," I giggled from the doorway. He whipped around and his eyes widened.

"Whoa," he breathed.

I suddenly felt self conscious, and my hand flew to my braid. "What's wrong? Oh no, it's the hair, isn't it? I know it's not much, but I didn't want to over do it, even though you said to dress nicely, and I wasn't sure if the boots looked good with the dress or not and-"

I was cut off mid-rant by Austin's lips crashing onto mine. When he pulled away a few seconds later, he whispered, "You look beautiful, Ally."

I smiled up at him. "Really?"

"Really," he grinned before kissing me again. "But can you help me put this tie on?"

I laughed. "Sure, but I've got to teach you how to do this by yourself." I took the tie from him and threw it around his neck. He was wearing a black dress shirt and black vest, black jeans with the chain, and his grey high tops.

"You've tried, remember? I'm hopeless," he said, looking up as I looped it through.

"You gave up almost right away," I replied, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes. Because I was hopeless."

I just smiled and rolled my eyes, finishing with his tie. "There. As handsome as ever."

He grinned. "Why thank you."

"You're most welcome," I said. "But come on, you were in such a hurry to leave, so..." I trailed off, waving my hands at the door.

"Right!" He said as if he remembered something. "Let's go!"

We headed out to the hallway. I stopped to feed Pancakes, who was chilling on her bed, chewing on her favourite chew toy of Trent.

Yes, Trent, as in the Trent who broke Trish's heart, the Trent who stole my song and copied Austin's life back when we were fifteen. Austin had the toy specially made for Pancakes to destroy, which she enjoyed doing. I didn't disagree when he brought it home for her, either.

"So where are we going?" I asked as Austin pulled out of the driveway.

"Surprise."

"Ugh!" I exclaimed. "I hate that word."

He laughed. "I know."

"Well if not for me, the baby wants to know where we're going," I told him, running a hand over my stomach.

"The baby is going to have to wait."

The baby kicked and I squeaked in surprise. Austin glanced at me sideways. "The baby apparently doesn't like that answer," I gasped.

"Sorry little guy or girl, it's a surprise for your mommy," Austin said.

I glared at him before digging through my clutch for my phone. I pulled it out and texted Trish.

Do you know where Austin's taking me for supper? I texted.

I got a reply a few seconds later. Yep.

Tell me! I told her.

Sorry girl, no way.

Forty bucks.

Mm, tempting, but no.

Dammit, you just turned down forty bucks. This must be important.

It is, trust me :) she sent back.

Omfg, is it a proposal!?

No! I swear it's not!

Oh, thank god, I almost had a heart attack.

That wouldn't have been good.

No kidding. Marriage is something I'm so not ready for. I mean, I'm about to have a baby!

Relax, you're only 19, Ally. You and Austin need to get your shit straight with the baby before you even think about marriage.

Duh. I sighed and put my phone away.

"What?" Austin asked.

"Nothing!" I said cheerfully.

He just shrugged. About ten minutes later, we arrived at the...

Beach?

"The beach? In March?" I asked, confused as he pulled into the parking lot. It was already fairly dark out, but I could hear the waves crashing against the rocks.

Austin grinned, getting out and opening the back up. "We aren't swimming, relax."

"Oh, thank god," I sighed with relief as I hopped out. "But I thought you were taking me out for supper."

"I am," he said. "Just be patient, Als."

"Patient is my middle name," I scoffed.

"More like impatient. Turn around."

I groaned in frustration. "I hate not knowing things," I said, but I turned around just like he asked. He tied a blindfold around my eyes.

"Oh my god, are we playing pin the tail on the donkey?" I asked. "Because I'm seriously amazing at that game."

"Um, yes."

"Really?" I said excitedly.

"No!" Austin exclaimed. "Can you see out of it?"

"Nope. It's dark, dark, dark. Which means if I fall and die, I'm haunting you until you die."

He snorted with laughter. "Oh Ally."

"I don't know what you find so funny, I'm being dead serious."

"I'm sure you are, no sarcasm intended," he said. I heard him shut the trunk of the SUV and he grabbed my hand. "But I won't let you fall."

"You better not," I warned as he started leading me. "You know, we really should have played the trust game before coming here."

"It would've spoiled the surprise."

"I'd still feel safer," I replied.

"Ally, you trust me, right?" He asked.

"Of course I do!"

"Well, then, stop talking and let me do my thing," he said.

"Sorry," I mumbled.

After a while of walking, Austin said, "Okay, stop walking."

"Finally!" I exclaimed. "I felt like I was walking on loose ground; man, was I ever hallucinating."

"You weren't hallucinating, Ally, you were on loose ground. Most people call it sand," Austin said.

"Oh. Right," I said sheepishly.

"Okay, take your blindfold off," he instructed from behind me.

I reached up and slid it off. As soon as I could see again, I gasped at the sight in front of me.

There was a little path of lanterns which led to a table for two set up on the beach. The table had a long white sheet over it, and there were candles lit around the table in the shape of a heart with glass covers over them so they wouldn't blow out. There was a patio umbrella over the table with two lanterns hanging from it, along with fancy dishes and cutlery. A rose sat in the middle of the table in a vase.

"Austin..." I trailed off in awe.

"Come on," he said, grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the table. He pulled my chair out for me and I sat down before he sat down himself.

"Okay, seriously, what's with the fancy dinners?" I asked.

"The last one was two months ago," he chuckled.

"I know, but why do you keep doing this? It's too much," I told him.

"Because I want to. Can't I do something nice for you once in a while instead of you doing everything for me all the time?"

I sighed. "You know that's not what I meant, Austin."

"I just wanted to do something nice for you, that's all, but if you don't like it, we can go home," he said.

"No!" I said quickly. "I do like it, it's beautiful, Austin." I reached across the table and took his hand. "Really. Thank you."

He relaxed and smiled back. "You're welcome." He bent down and grabbed a big basket that he must have grabbed from the vehicle when I was blindfolded. "And here's our dinner."

He pulled out pancakes and pickles.

I stared at them before bursting out laughing. "Seriously?"

"No," he grinned. "But this is part of it. The actual dinner is right here. Max!"

A guy came from out of nowhere it seemed, followed by a few more. They all had waiter outfits on.

At my look of confusion, Austin laughed. "There's a seaside restaurant up top on the hill. You couldn't see it because you were blindfolded."

"That explains the waiters," I said as the men set all of our food down. It was all so mouth watering.

"So we get a special treatment, down here on the beach!" Austin announced happily. "For me, you, and the baby." He nodded to one waiter, who I assumed was Max. "Thanks, man."

"Don't sweat it, dude. Enjoy, guys," Max said before heading back up top with the others.

"I feel like I'm getting a royal treatment," I giggled.

"You are!" Austin beamed.

"Who's Max?" I asked.

"Friend from school," he explained. "He helped me plan this little arrangement."

"Ah," I said. "That was nice of him."

We spent the rest of the evening laughing with each other, acting like we were fifteen again, and I realized that even though we would be forced to grow up early to be parents to this baby, we'd never really change.

A/N: Hope you liked it! :) I'm sure most of you were thinking Austin was going to propose, but they're already having a baby together so young, I think he'd have a little more sense than that, even for him haha.

Review, review, review! Look for the next chapter soon! :D
