Mimi came in the tv room looking at Amy, she was alone, talking to her doll, Mimi came in sat down on the couch
''dolly, like how I have a big house, like that I will buy one for you, you'll have kitchen, you'll have a bedroom, you'll have your clothes and everything. And together we will go shopping''
Mimi was staring at as she decided to speak
''for a very big house, needs a lot of money. You have a lot of money? You want a big doll house? If you don't have money then a person can only buy the thing that he can afford. Right? Ask your mom, she explain you''
Mimi didn't say it in a scolding voice but tried to say in a soft voice
that's when ally came, she slowly walked toward Amy and sat down on the couch behind Amy
''so, what were you talking with your doll'' ally said smilingly
Amy sat down next to ally
''mama, she also wants a big house''
''really, then we can buy her a new house'' ally looked at Mimi who was staring and then looked back at Amy ''but can I tell you something. This house is also Her's like how it is yours, so now she can live here happily''
''no mama, I want to buy her a big house''
''okay we'll buy her a big doll house, tomorrow, promise, anyway are these her new clothes''
''yes''
''where did they come from''
''I bought them''
''really from where''
As ally and Amy talked Mimi shook her head and went to the kitchen to check on the food
''what is all this!'' Mimi started shouting at the maid from the kitchen that even ally and Amy heard her from the tv room, ally was ignoring it but Amy was a bit scared from the tone of her grandma's voice.
Later Amy was in her room playing while I was storming towards Mimi ''Infront of my daughter, please be careful of what you say, or you wouldn't want me to change my mind about telling Austin,''
At night Amy was running to Austin as I ran after her saying not to run. Austin and Amy hugged; they went inside. Austin changed his clothes and sat down next to Amy in the tv room, Austin was smiling, watching Amy color, I came with a bowl of popcorn for Amy, a wedding ceremony was happening on tv as Amy suddenly asked a question.
''daddy was your wedding with mom just like that''
Austin looked at the tv and then his eyes went to mine as I avoid it
''...yes sweetheart'' he muttered
''mom was a bride?''
''yeah''
''daddy, will you show me the wedding pictures?''
''sure, but someday''
''no dad, I wanna see now, that how did mama look as a bride-
''Amy, dad said, he'll show you someday''
''no, I wanna see now or else I won't eat dinner
''Amy'' ally said in a warning tone
''okay, I'll show you the pictures, but you will eat dinner''
''okay''
Mimi came
''mom''
''yeah''
''Do you have the old pictures?''
''those photo albums are in the cabinets''
Austin and Amy went to see the photos but Mimi
''you trained your kid well. Are you making Austin remember old times. Or are you making him crazy by your innocence''
''it's a good thing a trained my daughter because she is honest and innocent. If was raised here, then she would be a liar like you, like you who destroy blood relations''
''hmm your honest and trustworthy and I lie?''
''yes, I'm honest, I sleep peacefully. You who, for your lies, I didn't destroy your son's life. You didn't even leave your son, whole life, told lies ''
''stay in your place. Remember that day, I can do it again. I can bring Dallas and can create a scene that, that little girl's life can become to dust''
''what else can you even do, call whoever you want, I used to be scared when I wanted to live with your son and now, I don't give a damn to you, this house and your son''
Austin (Pov)
I was taking out a box of pictures, and suddenly got a few flashbacks of me and ally, when we were together
''...ally your happy right?''
I looked deeply into her eyes
''I'm very happy''
''always stay like this''
''you're my everything, Austin''
Later I was talking to Amy
''in fact mama, daddy and grandma will also go''
''dad, were not gonna take grandma''
''why not, grandma loves you so much, she brings you toys and chocolates''
''no, grandma always angry at everyone, scolds everyone''
''...who told you this''
''no one, I saw it myself, she will also scold mom. Grandma doesn't like mom''
''did mom told you this''
''no mom didn't say anything about her, please don't tell grandma, I'm scared of her. she'll be mad at me''
''sweetheart, why would grandma be mad at you, you are grandma's princess. If mom says this then tell her grandma loves her''
''dad but we're not going to take grandma to zoo''
I sighed
''okay fine, we won't''
The next day I told mom that if she is angry at ally then be angry with her when Amy is not there, or else Amy would be disturbed. The next day will be Amy's surgery. So, I had to make Amy prepared for this.
I went to her room while Amy was drawing and ally was folding clothes. I sat next to ally
''you know a good doctor told me that tomorrow morning we will have to go to the hospital. The doctor will give you a very good treatment and very good medicines so that you can be fine quickly. After that Amy can go to school and you can run as wild as you can... and you know what the doctor said, he said that you can bring as many toys as you want and can put all tv and cartoon so that you can watch it there'' I was getting teary eyed' 'so we can watch tom and jerry as much as we want, right mom'' I was looking at ally as she nodded and start to speak ''you want argue in the hospital right? You going to stay a good girl. It can be possible that you would be put in another room, where mom and dad might not be there, you won't cry'' Amy didn't say anything, she looked into our eyes'' ...why would she cry, she's daddy's brave girl, come here'' Amy sat between me and ally ''now you have to be very brave and show how your daddy's brave girl'' I kissed her forehead. We started reading a story book.
When Amy slept. I found ally crying, sitting on the floor, I sat down next to her
''ally, don't worry''
''I'm scared. Tomorrow is Amy's open-heart surgery; I don't know what pain she'll go through. How can I save my child from this pain''
''don't say this ally, have faith''
