Austin (Pov)
It's been four years and life is going on the way life is, I started wearing glasses, black framed. Mom always talking about me settling down but I just want to live my life the way it is. I always focus on work as I usually do and me and Brooke have been spending time together, I know I was a bit rude back then whatever happened but now I moved on. Although I'm not that guy anymore who used to laugh and enjoy every moment in life. With time people change, obviously there are some changes on me.
Ally (Pov)
I took a taxi and it was a long drive to reach my destination. And when I reached, I looked at the tall building. It's been four years and I never thought I would need help, that help that I had to come here to this place, not for me but for daughter. I would never come here if this situation wouldn't have happened.
I walked inside through the hallway to reach the reception
Ally: hi
Person1: hi
Ally: I'm here to meet Austin moon
Person1: your name
Ally: ...Amy
The person called Austin ask permission as he did
Person1: that way (pointing to the right)
Austin (Pov)
Someone knocked the door
Austin: come in
As the person opened the door, I couldn't believe my eyes. She had a stern look on her face and so did I. how can she come here, face me for what she has done
She walked to my desk where I was sitting, she had a file in her hands
'' ...I know that you extremely hate me, don't even want to see my face'' I was pointing at her gonna say something from anger before I was cut off ''please. Don't waste your energy'' she didn't have any tone in her voice '' I'm just here to say something important, I won't take much time, you look at your watch, right after ten mins I will leave
Austin: ...what do you think (leaning my back against my chair) do I even have ten mins for you. Talk (lighting up my cigarette)
She took out a picture and put it on my desk. It was a picture of some little girl
Ally: ...this is my daughter, Amy moon. Unfortunately, you are my daughter's biological father. Don't think I am here to clean up some mess. This is not about the past, it's about my daughter's fate, it's her right that her father accepts her as his child. My daughter is very sick. She needs an open-heart surgery, only that's why I'm standing here Infront of you. She needs money for her surgery from her father.
Austin: I don't have time to listen your nonsense, if you want me to give you mercy then get out right now
Ally: when I left your house, I was pregnant. 5-6 weeks pregnant. If you want prove then you can go to the clinic-
Austin: don't you understand what I'm saying! GET OUT
She didn't move a muscle. She had that same face. She took out a paper from a file and put it on the desk.
Ally: ...this is my daughter, Amy moon's birth certificate. 30th April 2014. 5-6 months later she was born when I left your house. It was a premature delivery. And (taking another paper out) this is her blood group report. Maybe if you remember. My blood group isn't positive. Or Dallas Cullen. Although your blood group is positive. If you want then DNA testing is also available. But please I have a request, whatever you want to do please do it fast. I need money for my daughter's operation. Soon. Maybe I can't wait longer.
She put the file on my desk
Ally: these are all her reports, you can see. (Took another paper out) this is the place I'm living no adays
Does she really think I will come to her
Ally: of course, you aren't happy to see me. You took time for me, for that thank you
She left
I stared at the picture of the kid as I drink my cigar
Ally (Pov)
Ally: ...you know Trish. When Amy was born, you what I said to aunt Emilly. I said it with such belief. That without Austin. I will raise Amy myself alone. I didn't know. That what I said with big mouth, I would get this punishment.
Trish: why are you saying this.
Ally: I couldn't get treatment for my daughter Trish. To get the money for the treatment I went there didn't I, that I use to say bravely that I will never go there
Trish: ally-
Ally: Trish was it necessary that I would be born poor and Austin rich. He has money, he can do anything and me, poor can't do anything
Trish: you didn't ask Austin anything, you went for Amy. And it's his duty that he gives money for his daughter's treatment. It's her right
Ally: right? It was also her right that when she is born her father would name her. That she wouldn't be born like that
Tears slipped
Trish: I understand what your feeling
Ally: … you know when I went there, the girl in me was screaming and crying
Trish: you didn't go there as his wife; you went as a mother. Did you tell Austin everything? Did you ask him money for your daughter.
Ally: yeah. I said everything, I also showed my hatred. But still, I still went to him, I asked for help. I can never lift my head and live.
Few hours later
Me and Amy were sitting on the middle of the bed, crossed legged. I sitting behind her brushing her brown hair as she plays with her toys.
Amy: mom where was you this morning?
Ally: my darling, I had to go somewhere important.
Amy: mom did you know me and ell was watching tom and jerry
Ally: really. But ell was also saying you were running. You know what the doctor said right.
Amy: sorry mama, I forgot. And mom did you know jerry locked tom in a room
Ally: really, but I don't understand one thing, why does jerry always annoy tom
Amy: because tom always try to eat jerry
I chuckled
Ally: but you know one thing my favorite is tom, every time I see him, he looks so cute.
Amy: no, jerry is the best.
Ally: no, Amy is the best
I kissed her cheek
After a few moments, Amy slept I stared at her as I got a flashback
I was going upstairs until I saw Amy sitting breathing heavily, her hand on her heart, trying to calm herself down.
'' Amy? What happened? Why are you sitting here?''
''idk, I was just playing''
'' okay come up, let's go''
I was at the doctor's
'' I don't want to terrify you but there is a lot of money. There is something in your daughter. You need to take her to a specialist or take my advice, take her to Miami, take her to a good doctor there''
At aunt Emily's
'' they said that there is something in her heart that was there ever since she was born, that only a surgery can fix this. The doctor said that she needs an open-heart surgery. Soon... aunt Emily, what type of mother am I. my daughter was born with something and I didn't even know.''
''stop blaming yourself. You worked yourself like a machine, so that Amy can have a better life, better education''
''but what should I do aunt, they said, Amy's treatment is just surgery, where am I going to bring money. It will take millions, the money I saved was half spend on tests, where am I going to bring that much''
At Trish's
''my daughter's life is in danger. I don't understand where should I go. Who should I ask help?
''why don't you see Austin, ally''
''Austin?''
''yeah Austin, say instead of doing charity here and there, give money for his daughter's treatment, which is the right''
'' what are you saying Trish. First thing is I won't see him till I die and think even if I go then what do you think, he'll accept her as his daughter? I spend a time with him Trish, at that I didn't need anything and now... when I spend half of four years, what do you think he'll help?''
''now don't say you won't see him till you die, please don't make this an ego problem. Amy is your daughter, go and ask for money, at least try''
''what are you trying to make me understand. I go and stand Infront of that cruel person, beg for money''
''you're not begging for money, he's her father and it's his duty even if he reject then you'll regret that you took more of ego than your daughter''
I kissed my daughter on her forehead and slept right next to her.
Few days later
Ally: it's been all 4 days to wait for his answer...I waited for him like this 4 years ago.
Trish: did Austin didn't even call. I didn't expect that much cruelty from him
Ally: I'm the one who's stupid Trish. I went to that person; he doesn't have a thing. A heart nor humanity. I lost Trish.
Trish: I'm sorry I couldn't help you; I did all I can to help but all the jewels and money are spent for our apartment rent and has gotten worse.
Austin (Pov)
I was outside. Mom left for a business trip for a few days. I read the files and reports. I was in my office suite, was wearing my glasses and I went to the place and thought maybe I could see...
I saw a ball roll as I picked up
Amy: uncle my ball
that's the kid from the picture, obviously it was a trick, I knew it was a lie
I smiled and bent down to her level
Austin: here (handing the ball to her)
Amy: thank you uncle
She turned to walk away but then she stopped. And turned back to face as I was still bent down.
Amy: you're the picture daddy, right?
I stood there shocked as she threw her ball and quickly hugged me as I hugged her back. I smiled. But then I saw ally coming and pulling Amy away from me.
Ally: c'mon, Amy. Cmon the doctor is calling.
They went inside a hospital as I went after
Austin: listen?
Ally: ...Trish, take Amy to the doctor
As they went
I walked up to her. We stared at each other intensely
Austin: ...is there a limit to your ignorance
My voice was low and cold, as she looked a bit confused. That face is not going to do anything to me
Austin: you hid my daughter for so many years. Your pregnancy. Do you even have a name of humanity, you're not just mine but you're my daughter's criminal. I hate you.
I whispered that last sentence with coldness
Ally: if your done talking. Then I need to go inside. The doctor has my daughter's number
As we gave death glares to each other. She went.
