i am in the room with Ally as Doctor Harper walks in and starts checking everything. Austin is holding one of her hands and i am holding the other. There is a knock on the door and i turn to see it opening and Aubrey walking smiles, "Hey baby." i watch as Aubrey smiles and walks over and i move aside so she can be near her mom. She bends over and Ally hugs her. "How are you doing mom?" She shrugs and smiles, "I can't feel a thing." Aubrey laughs and looks at me. i nod to let her know it is okay. She smiles and looks at her mom, "Aiden and the boys are on their way to see you." She nods and looks around the room, "Where is Chris?" I watch Aubrey laugh, "He is outside." She waves her hand, "Well let him in. Don't make him stand in the hallway by himself." I watch Aubrey walk to the door and lean her head out the door before opening it wider and Chris comes in. He walks over and kisses Ally's cheek. She smiles and pats his shoulder as he walks over to the corner. Aubrey walks over with him and i grab Ally's hand again. "Alex?" i look at her, "Yeah?"She points at the water. i hold the cup to her and she takes a hear another knock and i turn and see Aiden, Asher, Adam, Aaron and Candace walk in. Candace leans back against the wall as the boys come over and hug Ally and kiss her cheek.
Aaron hugs his mom, "Where is the baby?" We all laugh and Ally smiles, "She isn't here yet baby." He nods, "Well when will she be here?" Ally laughs, "i don't know baby." He pouts and Aiden smiles and looks at his mom, "How are you doing?" She smiles at him, "I'm okay." He nods and moves so Adam can hug her and smiles, "Have you thought of names yet?" She shakes her head, "I have a while but i might come up with one when i see her." Adam nods and kisses her cheek again, "Can't wait to meet her mom." Ally smiles when Asher moves forward. He kisses her cheek and hugs her. "I love you mommy." We all look at him shocked. She smiles, "I love you too." He looks at her, "How are you feeling?" She nods, "I'm okay, i can't feel anything sweetie." He nods and moves away and she looks at Candace. "You doing okay sweetie?" Candace laughs, "You're the one in labor and you are asking if i'm doing okay?" We all laugh and Ally waves Candace closer to her. Candace hugs her and kisses her cheek. "Are you doing okay? Are you excited?" Ally laughs, "I am fine and i am actually nervous about if i have everything ready or not." Aiden smiles, "We all took care of it mom." Candace nods, "Yeah, we unwrapped anything that was wrapped. Put away the clothes in dressers and the closet. We even put together anything that wasn't put together. The babies room is all ready to go." She looks around, "You all did that?" Asher, Adam, Aaron and Aiden smile and nod. She shakes her head and smiles, "Thank you all." Candace moves closer to Aiden and i take Ally's hand again.
The kids, Ally, Austin and i all talk and tell stories for a couple hours waiting on the baby to come into the world. we talk about when the others were born and stories about them as babies. After two hours Doctor Harper comes back in and smiles,"You are almost ready Ally." Ally nods and smiles as Doctor Harper walks out again. She turns to the kids, "You are probably getting hungry." They all shake their heads, Aubrey smiles, "We will eat when you are ready." Ally nods and looks at Austin, "Do you have any names?" He shrugs, "Alice, Ava, Anna." Ally shakes her head, "Nah." We all laugh and start to throw names around but Ally doesn't like any of them.
Doctor Harper comes back in an hour later and nods, "We are ready Ally." The kids all come over and kiss her and hug her one more time. When the last of them walks out the door and it is closed, i get back in my spot and grab her hand. Doctor Harper gets on the stool and looks between the three of us, "You ready for this?" Ally nods and Doctor Harper smiles, "You know the drill." Ally laughs and nods. Within a few minutes i feel my hand being squeezed and Ally yelling. When she stops and releases our hands some, Austin shakes his before giving it back to her.
After about twenty minutes we hear, "One more push Ally." My hand hurts a little but it's all good. She yells and squeezes our hands again and next thing i hear is crying. Ally smiles and looks at Austin who is crying and looking at the baby. He turns back to her and kisses her cheek, "She is beautiful Ally." Ally smiles and turn to me. i smile at her and she looks so tired. "Daddy, come cut the cord." Austin smiles through the tears and walks over with the nurse. He comes back over and pushes Ally's hair back. the nurse hands me the baby and i hand her to Ally. Ally smiles down at her. "She really is beautiful." I smile and she looks at Austin, "Why do all of my kids look just like you?" Everyone in the room laughs and Austin shrugs, "I always think they look like you." Ally looks back at the baby and fixes her hat. "She is so cute." The nurse smiles, "So what are we naming this beauty?" She looks at Austin who shrugs and then she looks back at the baby. i smile and look at Ally, "How about Avery?" Ally looks up at me and smiles wide, "It's wonderful." she looks back at the baby and smiles at her, "Avery Mikaela Moon." She looks up at Austin who looks at her shocked, "Mikaela?" She smiles, "To honor your dad." He gets choked up and i turn away to help the nurse while they have a moment. i turn back around and see him looking at the baby and then at Ally, "Thank you." She nods and looks at me, "Thank you for the name Alex." I smile, "The least i could do." She smiles and then the nurse takes the baby and puts it in the crib.
After Ally is all good and ready for people, i look at Austin, "You should probably go get them." He nods and walks out the room. Ally looks up at me tired,"Can i have her again?" I smile and nod, "Of course." i get the baby and place her in Ally's arms.
A few seconds later the door opens and i turn with Ally and see her kids poking their heads in the door. i step back and watch as everyone files into the room. I see every kid has something. Aubrey has a vase of flowers in her hand. Chris is holding a huge white bear with a bow. Aiden is holding flowers. Candace is holding a basket with food and treats and a small stuffed kitty. Asher has chocolate. Adam has flowers with cards. Aaron has a cute giraffe with a small vase of flowers. they set all the stuff around the room and Ally smiles, "Awe thank you guys."
Aubrey smiles and walks closer, "She is beautiful." She looks down at the baby and smiles at her mom, "What is her name?" Ally smiles at me, "Avery Mikaela Moon." Aubrey smiles and holds the babies hand, "Hey little one,i am your big sister and i will always be there for you when you don't want to talk to mom or dad." Ally laughs and Aubrey smiles and looks at Ally, "Can i hold her?" Ally nods and i help transfer the baby. Aubrey smiles down at her, "You are so cute." Aiden comes over, "Let me see her." He looks over her shoulder and smiles, "You are adorable." Aubrey transfers the baby to Aiden and he smiles, "I am your big brother and i will always protect can come to me for anything, i will never judge." Candace smiles and leans over his shoulder, "She is adorable. Oh, i can't wait to go shopping for you little one." Ally smiles and Aiden hands her to Candace who smiles down at the baby, "You are just so cute." Adam smiles, "I want to see my baby sis." Candace helps him be able to hold her and he smiles at her, "You can come to me for anything. i will always help you and protect you." Asher smiles, "She is my sister too." Candace helps the transfer to Asher who smiles, "You are going to have so many boys chasing after you and i and your other brothers are going to make sure they never hurt you." He smiles and looks at Ally, "She is beautiful mom." Aaron smiles and looks up, "I want to see." Candace has him sit in the chair and she places Avery in his lap and bends down and help hold her in his arm. He smiles, "She is so tiny." We all laugh and he leans over and kisses her cheek. "I'm your big brother Aaron and you are now part of the coolest family." Everyone laughs again and Aubrey gets Avery back.
Aubrey holds the baby and kisses her. Chris looks over her shoulder and she smiles and turns to him, "Want to hold her?" He shakes his head, "I'm good." Aubrey laughs, "Put your arms up." He does and Aubrey helps him be able to hold her. he smiles, "She is so tiny." We all laugh and he looks around, "She is beautiful." Aubrey gets Avery back and walks up to her dad, "You want to hold her." He nods and Aubrey hands her over and smiles when she sees her dad interact with Avery.
She walks over to the wall and Chris hugs her when i see she looks upset. She watches Austin carefully and i can tell she is upset. After an hour Ally starts to fall asleep and Aubrey looks around, "We should go." Everyone walks over and kisses Ally and hugs her again. All the boys go over and hug their dad but i see Aubrey doesn't go over. They come over and hug me and then they leave. Austin looks at me, "Is Avery staying in here?" I shake my head, "I am to take her to the nursery when everyone is ready for her to go." He nods and sits in a chair, "Can i have some time with her alone?" i nod, "Of course." i turn and walk out the door. i walk downstairs and into the gift shop and buy a cute bunny that is pink and says 'it's a girl' on it. i also buy a box of chocolates and a vase of flowers. i carry them upstairs and set them on the nurses counter while i go get some coffee and let Austin have time with his daughter.
I walk back to the nurse's station and grab the items after drinking my coffee. i walk back to the room and open the door to see Austin talking to Avery. "You are so beautiful. You look just like your mommy. I won't be there twenty four seven but i promise to be there everyday. i want to be there for you to come to if you need anything and i want to be the father to you that i was to all my kids. Whatever happens between your mommy and me, i want you to know i will be there for you and always love you." I walk in and he looks at me, "She is going to love the bunny." I smile, "I thought so." he nods and places Avery in her crib. "I should probably get going, i don't think Ally will want me here when she wakes up." i go to say something but he cuts me off, "If you could just give her this for me." I nod and take the envelope and he pulls out a little box, "This too please." I nod and take it from him, "Of course." He looks back at Ally and then at me, "Watch out for both of them please." I nod, "I will." He nods and kisses Avery before walking out the door. i place my flowers on the stand and the bunny in the chair. i place the chocolates and letter and box on the table before sitting down in a chair and watching Avery for a few minutes.
I get up after a few and get the crib and start to push Avery out the door. i walk down the hallway with her and to the nursery. The nurse smiles when she sees me. she opens the door and i push the crib in. she smiles, "Oh this is the famous little girl everyone's talking about." I laugh and nod, "Yeah. This is the newest Moon." She smiles, "She is adorable." I smile, "Well i need to get back. i will probably be back soon for her." She nods and i walk out as she walks to a crying baby.
i walk back down the hallway and into the room to see Ally still sleeping. i sit in a chair and lean back as i fall asleep too. i hear my phone beeping and going off but i don't pay no attention to it as i fall asleep to the soft snores coming from Ally.
