Whale hello there Dravenites. Sorry for the cheesy intro, it sounded better in my head :P Anyway, I'm pleased to say that we're almost at 230 views. For a story that hasn't been up for very long that's pretty good in this writer's opinion. So for this chapter, I thought I'd bring in a non-romantic pairing that I quite enjoy. What is it? Guess you'll just have to read to find out Although I will give you a hint…it tends to be playfully abusive.
Enjoy!

'' Alex, quit it!''
'' You quit it, you're kicking me!''
'' Are not!''
'' Are too!''
'' Are not!''
'' Are-
'' Zip it!'' Ally hissed, rubbing her temples. Noticing the terror that she had inflicted, Ally quickly changed her tone. '' Sorry guys, I'm not feeling too good. Could you get along for 3 seconds please?''
'' Fine'' Alex pouted.
'' That was easy'' Ally muttered, turning on the TV. Ever since her maternity leave started, she had begun to binge classic mom shows, a personal favorite of hers was beachfront bargain hunt. Mostly because she planned on pitching buying a beach house to Austin when she got the chance.
'' Mommy?'' Ava asked.
'' Yeah sweetie, what's up?'' Ally asked, picking up her child.
'' You look paled.''
'' Pale sweetie, and don't worry, since its raining my skin's a little whiter than usual.''
'' But you look more paler'' Ava protested.
Ignoring her child's horrible grammar, Ally began to reassure the child. '' Look Avey, I get it, you're worried about me, I'm fine.''
'' But daddy said that I'm in charge when he's not around since I'm older than Alex.''
'' Wow, ok. Look sweetheart, I'm fine, and so is the baby. I promise you.''
'' You haven't been eating sugar like you used to.'' Ava added.
'' Judgey'' Ally muttered. '' I'm fine, seriously, I don't need all that sugar, it isn't good for me, or the baby either.''
Ava frowned and hopped off her mother's lap. '' Fine.''
The child then stormed upstairs to hers and Alex's room, where she found him playing with his toy cars.
'' Alex!'' she yelled.
'' Jeez Ava, I can hear you.''
'' I'm worried about mommy.''
'' I know, me too'' he said, letting go of the toy.
'' We need to watch her.''
'' But daddy said to respect her 'ivacy.''
'' He's wrong!'' Ava snapped. '' Follow me.''
Mildly terrified, Alex followed his sister downstairs to where their mother was, currently on call with a client on her laptop.
'' Alright Ozzy, first big hit time. What do think the song should be about?'' Ally asked.
A young man with short spiky blonde hair shrugged He was wearing a union jack t-shirt, three earrings on his left ear, ripped black jeans and riding boots. '' I don't know.''
'' Ok. What do you like?''
'' My guitar.''
'' Great. What do you think of your guitar?''
'' It's a babe magnet.''
'' Charming'' Ally muttered, writing on a piece of paper. '' Ok, so it attracts…babes, but doesn't it symbolize anything?''
'' Excuse me?'' Ozzy asked.
'' I don't know. When I write I usually write about how much I love my husband and kids-
'' Weak. I think my song should be about getting all the babes to come to my penthouse in North London. Then how I rock all night and get plastered 'til I can't fucking see straight.''
Ally gritted her teeth. Perhaps seeing secret clients wasn't such a good idea after all, even if it meant she could continue her hobbies without worrying her family.'' Look, I'm a serious songwriter Oswald, I've turned people into overnight sensations-
'' Ah shut up lady, I don't need the gig, my dad owns a chain of Wimpy's here in England. This is just for some extra cash.''
'' Hey!'' came a voice.
Ally looked to her left to see Ava marching towards her laptop.
'' You don't get to talk to my mommy like that!''
'' Yeah, ok. Who're you?'' Ozzy laughed.
'' She's my oldest kid'' Ally beamed.
'' And I'm her younger kid'' Alex added, appearing from the other side of his mother.
'' Ooh, two brats I'm so-
Ally ended to video chat and shut her laptop. '' You two really shouldn't spy on people. Its rude.''
'' But we love you mommy'' Alex protested.
'' I know rockstar, but mommy doesn't need protecting as much as you think.''
'' No. You do. Daddy says so!'' Ava stomped.
'' Did he now?'' Ally smirked. She was quite eager for her husband to return later that day.
-x-
'' Hey Alz, I'm home'' Austin called.
No answer.
'' Allison?'' he called again.
'' Hello Austin'' Ally said from behind him, causing the man to jump in the air.
'' Jeez, I've met cats who make more noise than you.''
'' Aren't you sweet. Come here'' Ally motioned, Austin following her into the den.
'' What're we doing here?'' Austin asked.
'' Simple. Why exactly did you deputize our oldest child to protect me like I'm some sort of endangered species?''
'' Because I don't want anything to happen to you Goose pickle.''
'' I appreciate that, but I'm not disabled Austin. I'm pregnant. I can still do everything I could do before this kid started to grow inside of me'' Ally refuted, patting her belly.
'' I get that, but do you remember what I said, the first night we were married?'' Austin asked.
'' Is this good for you?''
'' No! Yes, but no. I said that I'd protect you in any way I could whenever you needed me.''
'' Again, I understand, but I feel like you're smothering me. I'm beginning to feel like a shut it. For Gd sake Austin I'm only just starting to show. I-oh wow'' Ally said, before literally collapsing onto the floor.
'' Ally! Alex, Ava get down here!'' Austin screamed.
Thundering down the stairs, the twins emerged in front of their father. '' What's wrong with mommy, is she-
'' No, don't ever think like that. She's fine. Quick, get my phone, its on the family room table.''
-x-
'' Uggh, where, where am I?'' Ally asked, rubbing her head and slowly opening her eyes.
'' An ER ward.''
'' Thanks genius.''
Ally immediately recognized the two voices.
'' Trish, Dez? What're you guys doing here?'' Ally asked, blinking.
'' Well, you see about an hour ago you fell to ground in your home like a house of cards. Then Austin called 911 to come get you. He had to go give the kids dinner so he called us to come take care of you. Trish cried'' Dez answered, in his overly-honest tone.
'' I did not. I just sweated from my eyes. I don't cry'' Trish laughed nervously. '' Although who's that doctor of yours. The one with the heavy accent. He's cute.''
'' Dr. Vanucci. He first helped me when Austin got stabbed. He's also married.''
'' And right here'' came familiar voice from behind the door.
'' Hey Bertie '' Ally smirked.
Dr. Vanucci cringed. '' Please, never say that. Anyway- oh, my Gd, Dez Wade is in my hospital.''
'' Hey, he knows me '' Dez smiled.
'' Know you, I worship you. I own every Claws dun dun dun movie ever. Including that one you did back when you were 15. They're all on DVD, I watch em in my office a lot.''
'' Well thanks man. So, how's my friend?''
'' Well. She's been worse'' Dr. Vanucci said, a serious look on his face.
'' What do you mean?'' Ally asked, sitting up.
'' Well, I've been ya doctor for what? Almost 5 years now? I know that you're a workaholic. Also, since you're married to Austin Moon, you're as stubborn as a mule, so if he told you to take it easy you wouldn't.''
Ally was shocked. Not that he called her a workaholic, she was well aware of the fact that she was one, but what shocked her was the accuracy of her doctor's statement.
'' Tell me Ally, have you been lightheaded?''
'' Yes, why?''
'' Mmm. You look pale. How much sugar have ya been havin?''
'' Not much. I mean, ever since you said I should cut down I stopped-
'' Stopped?! Jesus Ally have you lost your mind? You body needs sugar to work. You should know that!'' Trish spat.''
'' I agree with the chick wearing the zebra print. Look, Alz, if you want to be fine, ya gotta eat some sugar. I never said to go cold turkey, I just said to cut it down to twice a day. Wait a second…'' Dr. Vanucci left for a few minutes and returned with a green-striped cylindrical container.
'' What's in there?'' Ally asked.
'' Its-
'' Stevia'' a familiar voice answered, entering the room.
'' Austin!"' Ally said, getting out of the bed and embracing her husband in a passionate kiss, eventually breaking apart for air.
'' I thought you were at home.''
'' I was, but then I remembered that I have parents and dropped the kids off at their house.''
'' Aww, you're so awesome'' Ally said, re-embracing him.
'' Easy there you two, one of you isn't supposed to be out of bed and also…this isn't the set of a BRAZZERS scene'' Dr. Vanucci added.
'' Dude'' Dez flicked him. '' They're just happy is all.''
'' Ow, I know. Look Ally, like I was saying before Austin stormed in, you cant go cold turkey, its stupid. But, going back onto normal sugar isn't good for you either. So, I'm giving you…this'' Dr. Vanucci handed her the container.
'' Stevia? What is it?'' Ally asked.
'' Natural sugar. Less calories than normal ones so it'll help a bit more with managing pregnancy weight. Not that you're fat at all. Also, you're under too much stress with what's going on right now. So, I'm telling your husband/boss that he's forbidden to let you work.''
'' What?!'' the quartet shouted.
'' First off. He is not my boss. This is a partnership. Second of all, I can't not write songs, it's my life's passion.''
'' Sorry kid, but for the next 2 months its bedrest for ya'' Dr. Vanucci shrugged.
Ally pouted.
-x-
'' Isn't this fun Ally? We get to spend the next two months in bed together!'' Austin said happily. After Ally's forced bedrest by Dr. Vanucci, he had put Kira in charge so he could spend more time with Ally and the kids.
'' You don't have to. You don't have a fetus inside of you.''
'' Hey. We're doing this together. SO if you have to stay in bed for two months, only getting up to shower, eat and go to the bathroom, then I'm here with you'' Austin said bringing Ally closer to his side of the bed.
'' aww. You really are the best husband in the world.''
'' I know Alz, I know.''
Surprise, I brought in Trez! Not married of course, I sorted that out in the last A&A story I did. I just felt that they needed some more focus time in the story, was I right?
Anyway everyone, thanks for reading and as usual, stay safe and stay awesome!
