*about 8 or so years after Duets and Destiny (estimating Ava is about 4 or so and Alex is about 3)

Ava whipped her head around when she heard a car and saw a white one pull into the driveway, she ducked under the book her grandpa was holding and hopped out of his lap to crawl across the couch and saw Austin step out of the car.

"DADDY'S HERE, DADDY'S HERE, DADDY'S HERE!" Ava yelled repeatedly as she ran towards the door with her grandpa following her, "Shh, Ava, you don't want to wake your brother," he said, pointing to Alex who was curled up on the couch. "Daddy's here, Daddy's here, Daddy's here!" she continued to say—though quieter—as Austin walked in.

"Hey Ava," Austin said, laughing a little at his daughter's crazy antics, "Did you have fun with Grampa Lester?" he asked and Ava nodded enthusiastically as Lester walked into the room carrying Alex, who was now awake.

Austin took Alex from Lester and looked down at Ava, "You ready to go?" he asked, Ava nodded again, but Lester shook his head, "You need to get your dolls," he said, "Right," Ava said and ran into the other room to grab two fabric dolls. "Now, you ready to go?" Austin asked again and Ava nodded. "Thanks again Lester," Austin said before they left.

Ava ran out to the car and hopped into her car-seat while Austin buckled Alex in, "So what did you do with Grandpa?" Ally asked from the passenger seat of the car. "Well he played dolls with me and we watched a movie and read books and it was fun!" Ava answered as Austin pulled out of the driveway. "Sounds fun, what movie did you watch?" Ally asked, "It was about wolfs who ride on trees!" Alex replied, "They weren't on the whole tree!" Ava told Alex, "They were on the bark! And the name of the movie was, um… Alpha and Omega," she continued. Ally laughed a little, "Sounds like you had fun," she said.

"What did yooou do?" Ava asked eagerly, "Well we were in the studio working on songs," Austin replied. Even though Austin and Ally now had two kids they still wrote and recorded songs, though they hadn't been on tour in a while. Their fan base hadn't grown much but it hadn't shrunk much either, they were still very popular despite being around for over 15 years.

"Can I come with you next time?!" Ava asked, Austin held back a laugh, "Not yet, maybe when you are older," Austin replied. "But whyyy?!" Ava whined a little, "Ava no whining," Ally reminded her before Austin could reply. "Because you're too little," he said simply, "But I can sing!" Ava told him, Ally laughed at her daughter's persistence, "Maybe, when you get old enough, you can perform with us," she said.

Ava's eyes shone, "Really?!" she asked, "Why not? Do you want to join us Alex?" Austin asked, looking at his son in the mirror. Alex shook his blonde head of curls, "No," was all he said, Austin exchanged a confused look with Ally.

Shortly later they got home and Ally prepared some spaghetti for a late dinner while Austin, Ava and Alex were on the porch watching the fireflies.

"What makes the fireflies glow?" Alex asked, Austin was silent, thinking for a moment, "I do not know, that is a question you should ask Mom," he replied. "Maybe they eat fire and it's bright inside them!" Ava suggested eagerly, "Sadly not Ava," Ally said from the doorway, "Now come on in, dinner is ready."

Once everyone was done with dinner and Ava had helped with the dishes a little Alex and Ava had to get ready for bed.

"Daddy, Daddy! Can you read me a story?" Ava said, running up to him carrying the book, 'Three Little Kittens'. Austin hesitated a moment, he wasn't exactly a fan of the 'Three Little Kittens' book so he looked around and pulled the book 'The Lorax' from the bookshelf nearby. "How about this one?" he asked, Ava jumped up in excitement, dropping her book on the ground and taking 'The Lorax' from Austin and ran off with it to her room. "Ok then…" Austin said before following Ava.

Ava poked her head into Alex's room; "We're reading 'The Lorax'!" she said excitedly and Alex hopped off his bed and ran across the hallway into Ava's room, where Austin was already sitting on the bed.

"Come to join us Alex?" Austin asked, patting the bed next to him and Alex ran over and climbed on. With his two children on either side of him, Austin started reading about the little orange creature who 'speaks for the trees'. Shortly after Austin had started Ally walked in and sat next to Alex, who immediately climbed atop her lap.

When Austin was done with the story everyone was basically asleep, Ally carried Alex over to his room as Austin tucked Ava in. "Daddy?" Ava asked as Austin was walking out of the room, "Yes?" he said in reply, "Can you leave the door open a little tonight?" she requested, "Of course," he replied and left the door open a few inches for her.

Meanwhile in Alex's room Ally was tucking him in, "Mommy, can you sing me a lullaby?" Alex asked sleepily, "What one do you want me to sing?" Ally asked, "The one about the birdy" Alex replied and Ally started to sing.

"Hush now darling, don't say a word mama's gonna buy you a mocking bird,

And if that mocking bird don't sing, mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring,

And if that diamond ring turns brass, mama's gonna buy you a looking glass,

And if that looking glass gets broke, mama's gonna buy you a billy goat…"

Across the hallway Ava listened to her mother's beautiful voice as she sang Ava's favorite lullaby and Ava started to whisper the words to herself as Ally sang.

"And if that billy goat won't pull, mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull,

And if that cart and bull tip over, mama's gonna buy you a dog named Rover,

And if that dog named Rover won't bark, mama's gonna buy you a horse and cart

And if that horse and cart fall down you'll still be the sweetest little baby in town."

By the time Ally was finished Alex and Ava both appeared to be fast asleep, Ally kissed Alex's forehead and walked out of the room.


The next day Ally entered Ava's room to wake her up for preschool only to find that she wasn't in her bed or her room!

Ally walked downstairs and looked in the kitchen to see if her daughter was already up, though there was no sign of her. Living room? No sign.

Bathroom? Not a trace.

Finally Ally peeked into Alex's room and saw Ava, asleep, on top of Alex's bed, her brown hair spread out on her pillow, and next to her, under the covers though, was Alex.

Awww, they're so cute! Ally thought and couldn't stop herself from grabbing her phone and taking a picture before walking over and waking Ava.

"Ava get up, you have preschool today," Ally said, shaking her a little bit, though careful not to wake Alex. "But I don't wanna," Ava moaned, "Come on Ava, don't you want to see all your friends?" Ally asked, "No," Ava said and her mom chuckled, "I know you want to, Ava, now get up, or I will get Daddy to wake you up." She said, Ava sat up, "Not Daddy! I don't like being tickled!" she pouted, "Then go to your own room and get dressed," Ally suggested.

Shortly later Ava ran down the stairs, now out of her pajamas, and ran into the kitchen, "Food?" she asked and Ally laughed, placing a plate of eggs and some blueberries on the table. "What were you doing in Alex's room?" Ally asked, Ava finished chewing a blueberry before replying, "He was having nightmares, so he came into my room really late and asked if I would protect him, so I said I would," she said. "Awww, you're a good big sister," Ally said and sat down to eat with Ava.

oh my gosh! sorry about the really terrible and abrupt ending! it would've gone on longer if i didn't want to save it for another story...
