Ally's POV

"Tell me Ally.. How much longer until they're here?" Austin questioned for the 5th time that day.

"Three weeks," I replied, placing a hand on my tummy; "But the doctor says that it could really be any day now, twins are more likely to come early," I explained.

"I don't know, I just can't wait for them to get here," he placed his hand on top of mine; "I just want to know, are they, Aubrey and Alyssa, or Alex and Aaron?" he said, as he placed a hand underneath his chin.

I giggled; "I guess we won't know until they decide to come," I said; "But seriously, I have been so uncomfortable lately, I don't know how much more of this pain I can take," I complained; "My feet are swollen like crazy, my back hurts, the babies take turns kicking at my sides, and it's so hot all the time, no matter how long I sit in front of the air conditioning, I've completely let myself go, I don't even care what I wear anymore as long as I'm comfortable, and I can't stand having my hair in my face, but it's always there, like now," I rambled as I pushed a loose strand of hair behind my ear.

"Boy… pregnancy must be hard I'm guessing," Austin said as he lifted a brow.

"Yeah it sure is bu-," I was interrupted by a knock at the door. I got up to answer it, wondering who it was, I didn't remember inviting anyone over.

I opened the door, expecting it to be Trish since she was the only one that would randomly pop up. But I was wrong. Standing right behind that door, was none other than, my mother.

Austin's POV

It was almost like the same situation with my father, except Ally's mom looked a little more calm. I didn't know if Ally wanted me to stay, or leave.

"Hi Austin, Hi Ally," she said, as she sat down.

"Hey… Mom," Ally replied; "W-what are you doing here?" she questioned.

"I wanted to talk, and maybe fix things, I know that the twins will be here soon, and I want them to know their other grandmother," she admitted.

Ally's look softened as she took a seat next to her mother; "That's all I've ever wanted from you mom, I wanted you to accept the decision I made and support me, but I've spent most of this pregnancy wondering if they were ever going to know you," she began tearing up; "I know, this is new to you, me being married and all, it's even new to me, and I know that the twins weren't planned, but that doesn't mean that you can't love them like you love me."

"I know, I was just so upset that night, I'd always imagined the day you'd get married and have children of your own, but I didn't expect it to be like this. I didn't even get to see you walk down the aisle, I never got to see how beautiful my daughter would look as a bride, and it was all because of one decision you made, and I won't lie Ally it was stupid, but I'm happy you did, you have twins on the way, and a husband that I know would do anything for you, I just wouldn't open my eyes and realize that back then, and I wish I did, but things take time."

"But mom, what you said to me was so hurtful, it doesn't matter, if you were upset about never seeing me as a bride, at the time you thought Austin and I were getting a divorce, but still, you decided to make a scene in front of everyone, and then proceed to say that you wouldn't accept the fact that my first child was coming from a drunken mistake, you had no right to say that to me! I don't care if you were mad or not but the fact that you would even think of saying that is really painful to me, and I would never, ever think of saying anything like that to you," Ally replied, hints of irritation in her voice.

"I felt like I had the right to at that moment, because it seemed like no one was hearing me out, and I wish someone did. I didn't think it was a good idea for you to keep them because I thought you and Austin would be divorcing, I thought that they would have to grow up in different households, going back and forth between mommy and daddy. You know I never wanted that for you Allison, you know it well too, and for you to even consider keeping those children despite your divorce was, and is, sick to me. Those children deserve a home, where their mother and father can love and nurture them together, not separately, and for them to be growing up like that too? Never to know what a full, stable household looks like, never to see mommy and daddy interact… that's just sad to me, no child deserves that," she said her words becoming more and more bitter as time went on.

"Did you really think that Austin and I weren't going to interact if we got a divorce? Of course we were! We have children, and that doesn't change the fact that we were best friends before that. I really hate the fact that you jump to conclusions like that, you didn't even ask me what was going to happen."

"I didn't need to, I already knew how it would happen, I'm just glad you guys are still together now, but I'm also happy to know that my grandchildren won't grow up in separate homes."

"You know… you're so ignorant sometimes mom, it makes me so mad," she grumbled, throwing her hands in the air and leaving the room.

Which meant that I was here with Mrs. Dawson, alone. I didn't know what to do, or say. But sitting in silence didn't feel right either. I had to find something to talk about while Ally was gone.

"You know… I don't know where I went wrong," she said, shifting uncomfortably in her seat; "I thought I was helping her, by telling her all of this stuff, but I guess I'm just pushing her away," tears began to fill her eyes as she went on; "Maybe it's just the simple fact that I'm not ready to see her grow up yet, maybe it's because I still see Ally as my bubbly teenage daughter, and I guess I just have to face the music… I'm sorry for going on like this Austin, I guess I should go."

"No, really it's okay, I understand this is difficult, everything just hit you all at once, it's a tough pill to swallow I know, it was difficult for me and I'm the one who got us in this mess, I guess you'll just have to excuse Ally right now, her hormones have been crazy lately."

"Yes I know, I just hope she wants to talk again before the babies get here. I should go though, remember to call my cell phone if Ally goes into labor, Lester is known for losing his phone, or leaving it on silent," she replied, letting out a quick sigh as she got up; "It was nice to see you again Austin, keep my daughter as safe, happy and healthy as she can be for the rest of this pregnancy alright?"

I nodded my head and grinned at her before she left.

I really hoped that Ally and her mother could work things out before our kids got here, it would suck if they didn't grow up knowing Ally's mother because of some stupid fight they had.

Ally's POV

I hated how she acted like she didn't understand anything. I hated how she always played the pity card with me. And I especially hated how she never once apologized for what she said about me.

I no longer felt like working things out. It was something that we would have to work on after the twins were born. But in that moment my main and only focus needed to be on the twins. The nursery was almost completely finished, besides a few last minute touches. We had eight bottles for each baby, an entire case of formula, and four boxes of diapers. We were loaded up on onesies and unisex clothing as well. I was glad to see that everything was finally coming together.

I decided that it would be a good time to start packing a hospital bag. I'd been so distracted lately that I almost completely forgot about packing one. I pulled a diaper bag out of the closet and sat it on the floor, then I began to search for an outfit the twins could wear on their first day home. It was difficult picking colors since I didn't know their gender, so to play it safe I picked out colors that both genders wear on a regular basis.

"This would be a lot easier if Austin was here," I mumbled to myself; "I wonder if mom has left yet," I said, making my way over to the closed door and pressing my ear up against it.

I didn't hear anything, but it might have been an awkward silence between him and my mom, and I didn't want to take my chances.

So I decided hold off on the outfits until later on. For now I would pack other neccesities, such as bottles, diapers, baby wipes,formula,and pajamas. I hummed to myself as I grabbed four bottles from the closet along with the formula. Then I picked out a set of green and blue footsie pajamas. It always seemed to be extra cold in Jackson Memorial Hospital*. Plus it was Janaury, it occasionally got cold since it was winter.

Soon enough the diaper bag was filled with things the babies would need, besides their going home outfit. I sighed quietly as I sat in the rocking chair placed between the two cribs.

I closed my eyes, and let my mind overflow with thoughts. I wondered if my mom and I would actually be able to make up before the twins arrival. It seemed more and more impossible as time went on. I didn't see her being around much anymore judging upon her visit today. And even though I was upset with her, I wanted her whitness the brith of her two grandchildren.

I sighed heavily as I pulled my phone from my pocket. I decided I would call Trish and check in on her, I hadn't seen her since her last visit, when she told me that Dez loved her. I was itching to know what happened, but we never got back in contact.

I dialed in her number and waited patiently as the phone rung.

"Hello," she said, sounding rather tired.

"Hey Trish, did I wake you?" I questioned.

"No, I've been up cleaning all day, I'm glad I'm finally done but Dez is still running around like crazy, cleaning like its the end of the world."

"Hmm, I'm not sure if people would be cleaning if its the end of the world, but you and Dez are still living together? You know you guys could have gotten a divorce three months ago?" I replied, placing a free hand on my stomach.

"Well, long story... You remember that day I came over to your house freaking out because Dez told me he loved me?," she said.

"Yes, yes I do, what about it?" I replied, eager to know what she was about to say

"Well when I got home that day we had a long talk, I told him that I may not love him but I was developing feelings for him. And so from there we decided to pursue a relationship, the only problem is, we cant get a divorce otherwise we have to go through seperation, we won't be able to see each other, so when the 6 month mark came around we just decided to stay married, and take things little by little, so we dont say we're husband and wife yet, we just say we're dating at the moment... I don't know though I feel like maybe I wouldn't mind putting a ring on my finger and changing my last name, I've never felt this way with a guy before," she said, I smiled. I knew that Trish and Dez would someday grow on each other.

"Trish, that is amazing, I'm so happy for you. But are you really serious about using the husband and wife title, I mean I think its amazing and all but Austin and I didn't even use it seriously until I was 6 months pregnant. Thats when we got rings, and everything. But you and Dez have had this huge feud going on since high school and now all of a sudden you guys are going to hop into a relationship? I know you more than anyone else Trish, and I know that when things get tough you like to take the easy way out."

"Yes, I know, but not with this relationship, its different, this feeling,I've never felt it before, I really like him Ally... I think I always have, but I've just denied it, and Dez is totally different, he treats me like a queen and is always making sure I'm happy. I've never had a relationship like this," she replied, giggling.

The door popped open and Austin poked his head in; "Can we talk?" he questioned.

I nodded my head as I began to wrap my conversation up with Trish; "Thats really great, words cannot express how happy I am for you, I'll have to call you back later though I have to finish doing a couple things around the house, and Austin wants to talk, you should come over soon before I have the babies, because after that I won't be available as much," I informed her.

"Sure thing, I'll come over tomorrow, talk to you later Ally."

"Alright see you then, bye."

"Bye," I hung up the phone and turned my attention to Austin; "What did you need?" I questioned,

"Well... your mom just left a few minutes ago and I just wanted to talk to you about her, but before you cut me off and tell me no I at least want you to hear me out," he said.

I wanted to avoid all conversation about my mom for a little bit; "Acutally, I need your help before I forget, I need a going home outfit for the twins and I don't know what to pick so I need you to pick one, and I'll pick the other," I replied, hoping it would be able to distract him for a while.

He paused for a moment to think, then nodded his head; "I forgot they needed a going home outfit, it completely wiped my mind," he began skimming through the closet; "But then again its easy to forget things like this when we have ten million other things going on at the same time."

I nodded my head and laughed joyusly; "Yeah you're right so much has gone on throughout this whole pregnancy, but I'm glad I didnt stress myself out enough to be put on bed rest, thats something I've been concerned about since day one."

"Me too, which is why I've tried my best to keep you calm, I think I've been pretty succesful," he said, as he skimmed through the outfits in the closet; "I know you're trying to avoid this now... but... your mom loves you, a lot, and she really wants to work things out, shes just not ready to see you grow up yet, not so fast, shes worried that you're making too quick of a decision, but I think she's realized that she needs to let go, and let you start making your own choices, Ally... you have to let her tell you this, without getting so upset, she is terrible at expressing her feelings, you and I both know that, so you have to hear her out, just like she would hear you out."

It upset me that I couldn't say anything to defend myself. It wasn't just my mother who was wrong about some things, it was me too. We could have been done with this situation by now, but both of us decided to be immature which was the reason why we were both stuck in this mess. I hated to admit it, but Austin was right; "I know, I'm wrong, and so is she, but we clash in so many ways, we're both failing to realize the reason why we need to make up," I replied; "Look austin, I love that you want to help me, but I can fix my own problems, and I really don't want you in between me and my mothers drama, I know it concerns you but its not your place to want to fix this, its mine, and right now, I have more important things to deal with, like getting ready for the twins, if me and my mother dont speak before they get here, I'll regret it but that doesn't mean we won't ever fix things, I just need to take it one day at a time right now."

He sighed deeply and nodded his head; "I understand, I guess I have to anyway, I really do want to help but if you want me to stay out of all of this then I will, I just want you to know that I'm there for you if you ever need anyone to talk to, I know you and your mom will work it out soon," I smiled at his response, it was nice to hear that someone had my back, and I was glad it was Austin.

"Thanks Austin, that means a lot to me," I pulled an outfit from the closet; "I really like this one," I said, smiling widely at it. The shirt was white, and it read, "Born to be cute," and the pants were baby blue; "This is perfect, one of them has to come home in this."

"I like it," said Austin; "I think i found one too, but this one is white and green." He held up the outfit he had chosen, the shirt reading "I'm kind of a big deal."

"Thats adorable," I replied; "I think we should go with these." Austin nodded in agreement, as began to take the clothes off of the hanger.

"Hey quick question," Austin said, looking up at me.

"What is it?"

"Did... you pee.. on yourself?"

"No way! Why would you say that?" I questioned.

He pointed towards the floor, and sure enough, there was a puddle right below my feet. I panicked; "I didnt pee, which means... My water just broke Austin."
