Chapter 12:
"Hello."
"Hey, it's me."
"Oh hey Austin."
"Hey what do you guys say about coming to LA tomorrow?"
"Come to LA? Why honey?" I heard my mother's confused voice.
"Let's just say I have a surprise for you here." I told her with a small smirk tugging my lips, my mom always loved Ally as a daughter and always said she knew that one day, when Ally and I would have our first child, this child would be a baby girl, and that this little girl would have me wrapped around here little pinky from the first time I would see her little face after being born. So maybe I didn't see Anna the day she was born, but from the moment I saw her face for the first time, that first day at the hospital, the one when I found out I have a daughter and that I am a father, she had wrapped and I knew I would everything for her, just like my mom always said.
"What do you mean a surprise?"
"Mom, just come, please, all of you, you dad, Laur, Nick, Jen and Kay, please mom. I'll talk with Nick, just please mom, you won't regret it, I promise." Or at least hope…I added in my head. I hope my parents would welcome Anna, and wouldn't be angry with the fact I got Ally pregnant at sixteen.
"Okay, sure I will talk with your dad. You are lucky it's the summer vaction," She said, giving up on trying to get the information out of me. "By the way next time you call to ask us something like that, try to call earlier then 10PM, your dad and sister already went to bed, I was just about to go as well." Oh man I totally forgot about the fact Miami is three hours ahead of LA…
"Oh I am sorry mom, it's only 7PM here, I totally forgot about the time differences." I said, regret completely filling my voice.
"It's okay, honey, I am just glad to hear from you, but honey I don't think that we can get ready for tomorrow, what do you say we would come the after tomorrow? It will be much easier." She said, and I could hear in her voice she wasn't med about the al calling really late thing.
"Okay sure, so I'll see you the day after tomorrow, I would arrange the flight tickets and a hotel for you guys and I would text you the details." I said and after exchanging goodbyes and good nights we hung up and I called my brother.
"Hello." Came the tired voice of my sister-in-law through the phone.
"Hey Jen,what's up?It's Austin, and sorry about the late hour."
"Oh, hey Austin, it's okay, I am just tired from Kayla, your geniusbrother decided it was a good idea to give our three year old an ice cream with extra chocolate and sprinkles on top with gummy bears on the side after daycare, let's just say that your niece hadn't stop moving ever since she got home forhours until she fell asleepabout an hour ago. But how are you doing?" She said, and I let out a small chuckle, trust my idiotic brother to let a threeyear old get a sugar rush.
"I am good, and really, he got her sugar rushed, well trust my brother to do things like that. Well talking about idiot, is my brother around?" I said and I heard sniff a laugh, probably from the fact I just call Nick an idiot.
"Hey, it's not nice to call your brother names, and no he is in the bathroom, cleaning it, when he was trying to give Kay her bath, let's just say that when you combine a hyperactive child and a bath full of water, most of the water finds their way to the floor. So now I am making him clean it."
"Well, I want to see if you two think you can get a few days off work, I was hoping you can come the day after tomorrow to LA with my parents and Laur. I wanted you all to meet Anna." I told her.
"I think that can be arrange, have you told your parents about Anna?"
"No, I just told my mom that I have a surprise for them here, so don't tell them. Okay?"
"Sure, well, send me the details and we will be there, I can't wait to meet little Anna."
"Okay, bye Jen,, good night, and tell Kayla to stay away from sweets for a while. I think she had enough today."
"Ya right, you do remember that she is Nick's daughter, neither of them cam turn down sweets. We good night Austin, and I guess I will see you in a couple of days." She said and we hung up.
After hanging up I pulled out my laptop and started making arrangements for my family to come to LA. After everything was finished I texted both my mother and sister-in-law the details and went to get ready myself to bed. When I was ready and I grabbed something to eat, I went to Anna's room to make sure she is asleep.
She was indeed asleep, but she was laying horizontally in a way that her head and upper body were on the bed, but the rest were dangling from the side off the bed. I laugh quietly and fixed her and fixed her covers. When she was back to normal lying way, I kissed her forehead and left her room, leaving her door open so that I can hear her is she calls.
After I left Anna's room I decided to go to sleep, so I just went to Ally's bedroom and fell on the bed. I really hope my parents, siblings and niece would get along good with Anna. And with that thought I fell asleep.
