Ally's POV
I watched as Ausitn paced around the hospital room. His face a bright shade of red. Not only was he freaking out because he would be a father soon, but he was also freaking out becasue me and my mother have yet to settle our differences. I refused to panic along with him though, I wanted the babies to be as calm as possible for their last few moments in the womb.
"Austin, please come sit down, the doctor will be in here any minute to tell me whats going on," I stated, hoping he would listen.
He stopped pacing and looked at me; "I'm sorry, I just cant believe this is all happening," he took a seat next to me; "I'm going to be a father, Ally, and that just hit me, hard." I smiled and looked down at my tummy, I hadn't realized that it was more of a big deal for Austin than it was for me. I had been carrying them for 9 months now after all, its like they were apart of me for almost a whole year. It would be weird looking down and actually being able to see my toes.
"I know this is a huge deal, but I promise you'll be a great father, and they'll love you more than anything," I replied.
"I'm just so scared Ally, and I know you are too but this is huge, do you realize that the next time we'll be at our house we'll have twins, do you realize that dinner last night was the last dinner we'll have by ourselves?" he questioned.
Before I could answer, my doctor came in, a joyus look worn on his face, as usual; "Hello Mrs. Moon," he said; "Big day ahead of you huh?"
I nodded my head in response, waiting for him to tell me what would be happening; "Alright, so it looks like the babies aren't quite ready to come out, but since your water is broken they cant be in there much longer, so we're going to induce labor in about ten minutes and hopefully that will speed things up, if not we'll have to take you into a C-section, which wont be a big deal really, its quite common with twins, we can go over side effects and all that stuff if you do end up having to have one."
"Thanks Dr. Mckinely," I replied. Austin got up from his seat to continue to ask the doctor questions, and I just laid there, not a single question popping into my mind; "I'm going to be a mother," I whispered to myself, a faint smile appearing on my face. I couldn't be happier.
Austin's POV
"Did you call our parents and Trish and Dez?" Ally questioned, after the doctors finished inducing labor.
I nodded my head; "I called them before we even got here, your parents are stuck in traffic, and mine just texted me saying they're running a little late, and Trish said her and Dez will head this way at three, they're a little busy," I said; "Don't start worrying now, you were doing just fine earlier, so it needs to remain that way until the babies are ready to come."
She smiled at me, and let out a faint sigh; "I don't know, its all becoming so real now, they just induced labor, which means they could be here in the next few hours, I'm not scared, I'm just a little nervous, I want to be the best parents in the world, and give them everything but what if we cant?"
"We will be able to, I have no doubt about it, my job pays well, and we were able to afford everything we needed for them right?"
She nodded.
"Then we'll continue to provide for them in the best way we can, we'll give them the world," I repiled; "Remember, we can do anything, as long as we have each other."
"You're right," she said; "Its crazy how you can go from a family of two to a famiy of four just like that."
I nodded my head in agreement, not knowing what to respond with. I was nervous too, if it wasn't obvious enough. I just didn't want to worry Ally anymore than I already had.
"So this is really it," I thought to myself; "These are your last moments, without children. Tomorrow you might have two sons, you might have two daughters, I guess I'll have to wait and see, but I guess that wait isn't going to be much longer... Somone is going to call me dad, or dada, or daddy, somone is going to look up to me and ask me for answers, they're going to ask me for guidance, one day someones going to ask for money to go to the mall, or the movies, or even just to go to McDonalds or something,I can't believe this is finally happening."
Ally's POV
My parents arrived at the same time Austin's did, greeting me with hugs and kisses as they entered the room.
"I can't believe the day is finally here," Mrs. Moon said, from her spot on the loveseat, placed by the window.
"I know, neither can I, it all happened so fast, one second I was packing the twins' going home outfit, and the next I was being rushed to the hospital, Austin was freaking out while he drove me here, asking me all sorts of questions and putting his hand on my stomach at every light," I replied, releasing a light giggle.
"Austin told us something about the doctor having to induce labor?" she questioned.
"Yeah, they did, about 45 minutes ago, but I'm not feeling any contractions yet, I just feel... well... normal, the doctor came in before you got here, and said that if nothing happens within the next hour, they'll have to give me a c-section, which I really don't want, but it doesn't matter what I want as long as they get here happy and healthy."
"I'm sure you won't have to get a c-section, its just taking a while for everything to kick in," she reassured me.
"I'm hoping I wont need one either."
I hoped my mother would talk sometime soon, I didn't want to spend this whole time ignoring her, I wanted to put our differences aside for now, and enjoy this moment. But it didn't seem like that was going to happen.
The doctor came back into the room to give us more news moments later, we all waited anxiously to hear what he had to say; "Well I've got good news and bad news," he said, after checking to see if I was dialated any.
"The good news is, you're three centimeters dialated, the bad news is, I don't know how much longer it will be before you're a full ten. You'll probably start to feel contractions here soon as well, it looks like the babies are ready to come out."
I was at a loss for words, I couldn't believe it was finally about to happen. I was FINALLY about to have the twins.
"This is great," Austin beamed, intertwining his fingers with mine, and giving me a kiss on the cheek; "I can't wait!"
And neither could I, the thought of having them here with me, finally, overjoyed me.
Austin's POV
About 30 minutes after the doctors visit, Ally started having contractions. The happy, excited look she had on her face was now gone. I could tell she was in excruciating pain, so I held her hand, and told her everything would be okay. Every 4 or 5 minutes she would squeeze my hand, as she had another contraction. It seemed like they were getting closer and closer by the minute.
Her mother was even by her side, rubbing her back and telling Ally she could do it. My mother was at the foot of the bed showing her sympathy. Both of our fathers stepped out though. I think they were both a little overwhelmed with it all.
This was the moment, that I realized, there was no turning back. I couldn't run, I couldn't hide, I was going to be a father soon,and nothing could change that.
An hour later the doctor came back in to see how dialated Ally was; "You're about 7 and a half centimeters dialated," he said; "Things are moving pretty fast so I'm going to call some nurses in here to stay and hopefully you'll be giving birth within the next hour or so. This is really rare Mrs. Moon, I've never had a patient dialate so fast, you're pretty lucky, I would suggest getting an epidural though, it will help you relax before the babies come, and ease the pain."
"Really?" said Ally; "Well if thats the case, then I really want one, I dont know how much longer I can take this pain."
Dr. Mckinely nodded his head, and told Ally he would be back to give one to her in five minutes. Everyone returned to their seats after hearing that she wouldnt have to be in pain for much longer. But I stood right where I'd been for the last hour and a half, right by Ally's side.
"Don't worry, this will all be over soon and we'll have the babies right here with us," I said to her.
"Hopefully, I can't wait, it hurts so bad Austin you just dont understand," I gave her a kiss on the forehead. I knew I didn't understand, and I never would.
"Aren't you excited?" I said, brushing a chunk of stray hair behing her ear.
"Yes, I'm more than excited, I can't wait to see them," she murmured as the pain of another contraction fills her body. She squeezed my hand harder than she ever had, and a tear rolled down her cheek. I wanted nothing more than to make the pain go away, but I couldn't. It killed me to sit and watch as she suffered.
Soon enough Dr. Mckinely came back to give Ally her epidural, it was a releif to know that the pain would be eased.
Ally's POV
"Still seven and a half centimeters," the nurse said, 45 minutes after giving me my epidural. I sighed, hoping that things would hurry up. The last thing I wanted was a c-section, I did my research on those, and I didn't like what I read.
Everything was calming down now, my parents rested on the sofa, reading magazines and conversing amongst each other, and Mr. and Mrs. Moon were trying to find someone to watch over the store while they were gone.
It was crazy how something like this could bring everyone together again. I was thankful that everyone showed up. I just wondered what was taking Trish and Dez so long. Austin called them a while ago, and no one had heard from them. It was starting to concern me.
"Austin, do me a favor and call Trish and Dez to make sure they're okay will you?" I asked.
"Sure thing, I'll be right back," he replied, as he retreated to the hallway.
We all sat in silence after that. The room was so quiet, you could probably hear a pin drop.
"It's crazy..." my mom spoke, gazing at everyone in the room; "how this all started, you know, from getting the news about the marriage and the babies, to getting the truth and going through all that drama, don't you think its amazing how we can all come together and be one, when its needed?"
Mrs. Moon nodded her head rapidly upon hearing my mothers words; "Thats exactly what I was thinking," she said.
Mike and my father chuckled, nodding in agreement.
"You know if it wasn't for all of that, we probably wouldn't be here today, sitting here, waiting for Ally to give birth to twins, waiting for her to officially make us grandparents," my father chimed in a warm smile worn on his face.
"If it wasn't for all this happening, I would still want Austin to take over our buisness, I wouldn't know how he actually felt," Mike stated.
"If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have ever let Ally go, I would still see her as my little girl, I would still be keeping a protective bubble around her everywhere she goes," my mother said, smiling brightly at me.
It almost brought tears to my eyes, hearing everyone say this made me even happier, not only did we resolve almost all of our problems, but we were coming together, and admitting that the biggest problem of them all, is what made everyone realize something about themselves. It even made me realize something, it made me realize that I did, in fact have feelings for Austin. It made me realize that good things can come out of seemingly bad situations, it even made me realize that I wasn't always right, sometimes I need to open my eyes and listen to what people actually had to say, rather than jumping to conclusions. And I was sure it made Austin realize a few things about himself as well. I knew that this day would forever be engraved in my memory, not just because this is the day the twins are being born but also because of the unity shown in this very room, the feeling of being one again filled me with pure joy. This was a feeling, I couldn't describe, not even if I tried.
I watched as Austin came back into the room, Trish and Dez trailing behind him. I smiled warmly at my best friend, I hadn't seen her in a while.
"Now that we have everyone in the same room," I said, clapping my hands together; "I'd like to say something."
The room grew silent, and all eyes were on me; "Upon hearing some of the things said in this recent conversation, I'd like to formally apologize to each and every one of you for all the drama I've caused, but we all make mistakes, and if it wasn't for Vegas we wouldn't be here, but I've noticed a flaw about vegas that no one else has," I gazed at everyone in the room; "And I've noticed that everyone seems to say this saying, that I, unfortunately do not agree with, that saying is, 'what happens in Vegas stays in vegas,' but as we can see, not everything stays there, an example would be me and Austin being married, and of course the babies, so I'd like to say that; Unfortunately what happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay in Vegas, that saying right there, is something I can definitely agree on."
Austin's POV
Two, long hours later, Ally was finally a full ten centimeters dialated, and ready to push. She was visibly nervous, as everyone besides me, my mother, and Mrs. Dawson, cleared the room.
She pushed for about twenty minutes before one of them actually started coming, it happened faster than I expected.
The sounds of a wailing baby filled the room; "We've got baby A," he announced; "Its a boy!" he exclaimed. I looked at him, as my eyes filled with tears. Never once did I think I would cry but in a moment like this I found it hard not to.
"Alright Allison you've got this give us one big push," Dr. Mckinely said. I leaned over to comfort Ally, dabbing her forehead with a towel as beads of sweat began to run down her face.
"You've got this honey just give it one more big push," I whispered to her. She pushed one more time. Cries filled the room once again.
"We've got baby B!" announced; "Its a girl!" he said. I couldn't believe it, a daughter, and a son. Just like that.
I kissed Ally of the forehead, not able to hold back my tears of excitement anymore. We were parents, and I couldn't be happier.
I watched as Ally's mother ran out of the room to tell the others the news, I couldn't wait to see the look on their faces when they came to see them.
Soon enough we were able to hold them. I held baby A, and Ally held baby B.
"So what are we going to name them?" Ally questioned.
"I don't know, I have baby A, which is a boy, and you have baby B, which is a girl," I stated; "Since we've both narrowed it down to two names we like, how about we decide the name for the baby we're holding, out of the two names we've picked for the gender."
Ally nodded in agreement and called the nurse over to give her the babies names.
"Baby A?" she questioned.
I held my breath before I answered; "Alex Dezmond Moon."
"And baby B?" she questioned again.
Ally looked down at her for a little bit before answering; "Her name will Be Aubrey Patricia Moon."
And just like that, we had a family. And I couldn't be happier.
