Chapter 6- The Fighter {22 weeks pregnant}

-{Ally}-

"Austin" I groan. I glance at the glowing digital clock next to him on the bed side table screaming 3:53 am in my face. I'm lying on my back because the stupid baby won't let me sleep any other way. Every time I get relaxed falling into the sweet slumber that I crave so much, my legs undermine me and shake my entire body, forcing me back into the life of a night owl.

"Austin" I practically scream thumping him hard with my foot.

"Mmm..." He groaned rolled over and went back to sleep on his bare stomach cradling his pillow in his arms. 'Useless' I thought.

"Austin! If the baby won't stop wriggling and keeps me awake, she's keeping you up too!" I explained sitting up in the bed, well the equivalent of sitting up when you're six months pregnant. I kicked him again.

"Okaaaay" Austin mumbled into his pillow slowly stretching under the bed covers.

"Good coz I'm starving!"

Austin laughed although he was half asleep.

"Pancakes?" He asked looking up into my eyes still lying on his stomach. His hazel eyes make me melt like an ice block on a summer's day.

"Yeah, do we have tuna? Tuna pancakes sounds ammmmmmazing right now!" I said the thought of tuna pancakes making me drool a little. These pregnancy cravings were getting weirder and weirder.

Austin scrunched up his face in disgust "You can have tuna; I'm having butter and maple syrup!"

"Maple syrup" I gagged. Even the thought of the sweet sugary syrup made me want to barf "Just keep that away from me!"

"If you keep the tuna away from me we have a deal" Austin laughed.

"Woah!" I gripped my stomach, my jaw dropped in shock. I just experienced the weirdest sensation, the baby is no longer twisting and turning it feels like she really kicked me with her tiny feet. I was being beaten up from the inside out.

"Woah" She did it again.

"Allygator? What's wrong?" Austin's eyes were swollen with concern and love.

"Nothing! Nothing at all" I pulled up my shirt exposing my round belly and pulled Austin's hand to my stomach.

"Woah!" Austin jumped in shock, now sitting on his knees. I laughed.

"If you thought that was weird you should have felt it from my point of view!" I chuckled, we both had our hands on my stomach waiting for our daughter to make her next attack.

"This is amazing!" Austin exclaimed in excitement "She's going to be a fighter with these strong legs" I giggled in agreement.

"Noooow can we have pancakes" I begged "I think that's why she's kicking so much, she's starving!" We hopped off to the kitchen and made the first of many 4am pancake batches.

"Omg! There is a little warrior inside of you!" Trishs face lit up in excitement her hand resting on my now huge stomach, there was defiantly no hiding my pregnancy anymore.

I giggled sitting at a metal table in the mall food court sipping a mango smoothie.

"Here comes Dez!" I wiggled my eyebrows at Trish, there is defiantly something going on there, but Trish won't have a bar of it.

"Hey guys, woah Ally when did you get so fat?" Trish glared at him as he sat down I just laughed I loved hanging out with Dez.

"She's pregnant you imbecile" Trish snapped at Dez, then going back to sipping on her soda.

"I know that!" Dez shrugged happily at Trish "You have gotten bigger Ally, don't be insulted" He said to me.

"I'm not" I giggled "I have gotten so huge recently, but that's good! She's kicking, feel!" I reached for Dezs hand and placed it on my belly.

"Wow!" Dezs' eyes widened in amazement "Looks like she's got Austin's dance moves!"

"Look guys" I heard a familiar voice from behind me that made me cringe "It's Allllllly" the girl dragged out. "The whore that, that wannabe rock star Austin Moon got pregnant!" Cassidy and her friends laughed tauntingly.

Trish glared at Cassidy with piercing eyes that could make Chuck Norris break down into a little girl. Cassidy stared back with a look that could kill Voldermort in one shot. Cassidy's clones lined up beside her with equal looks upon their fake faces, plastered with makeup. I stayed in my seat not making any comments, not making eye contact. This happened enough over the last few months, I have learnt that it's better to just ignore them. Dez looked more agitated than I have ever seen him, Dez was weird, but also well liked he had never been bullied and I could tell but the way he was rubbing his wrists this was making him uncomfortable. Trish was the strongest, be for I knew it she was out of her seat standing in front of Cassidy their eyes never left each others, eye contact you couldn't cut with a knife. Trish was angry.

"A whore." Trish pondered surprisingly calm "By definition a woman who sells themselves. Hmm... I don't think Ally walks around in dress' that only just covers her ass and boobs asking for money for sex. Whores get abortions so they can keep working the street. Ally obviously hasn't aborted. Hmm... let me think the only person here who is wearing a dress too short to be classed as a t-shirt, is known for sleeping with lots of guys, and has never had a baby, but has been pregnant before. Hmm... Oh yeah that was YOU Cassidy." Trishs' eyes narrowed and pointed at Cassidy "And your fucking clones aren't that much better" Trish eyed up and down Cassidys 3 friends in disgust. "The next time you try and accuse my best friend of being something as foul as you, remember I'm not going to be as nice as I was today."

With that Trish stormed back to Dez and me and planted herself in back in her chair cursing under her breath. I looked at Cassidy, her jaw was dropped, she was silenced not a single word slipped her perfectly lipsticked lips; her cheeks were bright red same shade as her lips. Cassidy flicked her long blonde hair behind her turned and left her lemmings followed along behind her. * A smile curled on my lips happy to see how defeated that horrible girl was.

"Trish that was amazing!" Dez said was astonished at Trishs' fire and courage. So was I.

My treble clef necklace ran though my fingers, while my other arm rested on my stomach.

"Thank you Trish" I smiled

"Not a problem, no one talks to my best friend like that and I mean NO ONE" Trish replied getting the last of her anger out.

"I want to hug you but its kind hard for me to lean over" I laughed, a big grin on my face.

Trish got up and hugged me close.

"GROUP HUG" Dez announced pouncing on the two of us. I giggled wrapping my arms around the both of them, Trish grumbled at Dez.

I pulled my phone from my pocket. 2:44 pm it read.

"Austin finishes work in fifteen minutes do you guys wanna come with me to his work before he finishes?" I asked Dez and Trish.

I linked arms with Trish and all three of us, well four if you include the baby headed to 'Snow Globes R US.'

-{Austin}-

I glanced at the clock on the wall of 'Snow Globes R Us' the big hand rested on the 9 and the small hand making its way to the 3.

"Yay" I said aloud to myself.

"What was that?" Jonty a man in his early twenties, my co-worker called from the stockroom.

"Nothing" I called back from the counter. Only fifteen minutes until I get to leave and see my beautiful girlfriend.

I looked up from my music magazine when I heard a ding, indicating that someone had arrived into the store.

I smiled widely recognising the three faces staring back at me.

"Dez! Ally! Trish!" I shouted excitedly "What are you doing here?" I jumped over the counter, carefully as not to knock over our new range of insect snow globes and hugged Ally.

"Oooh, a bacon snow globe!" Dez left the group admiring a snow globe with dancing bacon wearing top hats.

"I wanted to see you! I couldn't wait another ten minutes!" Ally tippy toed and placed a kiss on my lips; I leaned down and kissed her properly.

"Ahem" Trish and Jonty said at the same time.

"We still exist remember?" Trish said with a laugh.

"And you still have ten minutes of work to do, I ain't picking up your slack I barely do my own work!" Jonty added heading back into the stock room most likely to smoke and pretend to work.

I rolled my eyes; I could see Ally's cheeks were burning red.

"Go have a look around the store, I'll pretend to work for ten minutes and we can go" I said waving my arm around the large shop snow globes on every shelf heading up right up to the ceiling, and pecked Ally on the cheek.

I jumped back over the counter as Trish and Ally linked arms and joined Dez. Even though I have a job that requires me to dust thousands of glass ornaments and talk to strange collectors each day, I couldn't be happier. I have 4 of the best friends in the entire world, one of them being my stunningly beautiful girlfriend who in a few months will bring our daughter in the world. How lucky am I?

"Als, I almost forgot!" I reached into my backpack that I take to work with me "For you" I handed Ally a small snow globe.

Ally smiled as she analysed the snow globe. "It's beautiful"

It really was, the snow globe had a photo of Ally and I together looking into each other's eyes laughing, Allys necklace shining in the light, and both our hands rested on Allys pregnant belly. It's my favourite photo of us, we weren't even posing Trish snapped the picture a week ago to in her words 'show us how sicklingly cute we are together' and I have to admit Trish is right. Actually Trish is almost always right, but I will never say that to her face.

Ally tipped the snow globe upside down "Ah... Austin? There's no snow in our snow globe"

"Yeah..." I began "I got giving a free photo from my boss, remember the woman that loves my music, yeah the catch was it was faulty." I laughed.

"Oh. Well it still looks beautiful!" Ally smiled placing the snow globe on her bedside table "Thank you" she kissed me.

-{Ally}-

'I'm so bored' I thought to myself lying on my back on mine and Austin's bed my hands caressing my belly wishing the baby would hurry up and get out so I could play with her. Austin was at work and Mimi and Mike were filming a new mattress kingdom commercial. I wonder what Trish is doing I hope she's not working. I reached for my phone, and at 23 weeks pregnant that's not an easy task. 'Yay' I thought to myself I had 2 texts from Trish 3 from Austin and 1 from Des 'I am loved'.

Trish isn't working! I left the Moon household and headed for the Mall of Miami, where Trish and I are going to see a movie, hopefully it's not Zaliens!

/

Trish and I strolled around the shops killing time before the new Jennifer Aniston movie opened.

"Oh maybe we should go this way" Trish said nervously and began to turn around.

"No that's ok Trish, I'm going to have to face it someday" I glanced at Sonic Boom my ex absolute favourite place to hang out. I thought seeing Sonic Boom would have no effect on me. But then then the memories hit me like a punch to the gut. Working at the counter, chatting to Dez, Trish and Austin, writing songs at the piano in the practice room, Austin teaching me to dance, sitting close to Austin at the piano, hearing Austin sing, Austin trying to help me get over my stage fright, the kangaroo, videos for the internet, my mom, and that night before I left for New York.

I tried to stay strong and move along to the next store. But I forced myself to stay glued to the floor in front of Sonic Boom in fear that I might walk in, and face my father. I want to go in so bad. I fought my tears; I don't need to cry over this. I have Austin, my friends and my baby. Yet something was still missing a puzzle piece of my heart was lost, just looking at Sonic Boom made me realise that not only is the piece that belonged to my mom was gone but many puzzle pieces were missing. I thought that the baby and Austins family filled those gaps but they only made my puzzle bigger, but there is a big hole in the middle and as much as I don't want it, I need it, I need my father, I need my music and Sonic Boom. I clenched my hands and closed my eyes tight turning around.

"You're right Trish lets go" Trish pulled me close to her.

"It's ok to miss him Ally." Trish whispered. I did miss him, I didn't want to, but I couldn't help it love my dad.

"Ally wait" A familiar kind voice called from behind me.

"Dad?" I asked tears flowing from my eyes, I grabbed hold of Trish, forcing myself not to hug my father.

"Ally, honey. I know you probably don't want to see me or hear me out but please listen to me" I motioned in agreement when Trish asked to leave us alone for a while.

I breathed in. "Why should I" It was killing me that I couldn't tell him everything I was thinking.

"I am so sorry. I was such a jerk. I love you Ally you are my world, you are my only daughter, my only child." My father looked sincere his eyes were kind and gentle, he looked so lost, it reminded me of when we lost mom. Dad was so broken; I did all I could to stay strong and stop him from falling to pieces although I felt I could fall to my knees and disintegrate with sadness. I hated seeing my father so upset; I can't do that to him again.

"Please Ally come home, I will support you, you have no idea what it's like to lose your daughter"

I felt my belly, I can't imagine what it would be like to lose my daughter I love her with all I have, if I lost her I would die, and she's not even born yet.

"I'm having a girl" I smiled shyly at my father. He smiled back at me.

"I bet she will be just as beautiful as you and your mother" I felt a lump grow in my throat when he mentioned my mom.

"I want you to be I'm mine and her lives, but dad I can't move back in. Mimi and Mike are so good to Austin and I, they are letting my stay until school is over then me and Austin are getting our own place." I explained.

"I understand, I wouldn't want to live with me either I was such a jerk. I'm sorry, I just wanted you to have a good life, and I now understand I was wrong." I pulled my father in for a hug.

"It's not you dad, I'm just thinking of baby now, she's number one" I said into his ear.

"I want to be involved, do you need money? I can give you your job back, with a promotion" My dad said eagerly.

I laughed "I can't really work at the moment"

"Yes but you can go on maternity leave" My dad added hugging me again.

"I love you daddy" I whispered.

"I love you too baby girl" He whispered back.

"Let's get lunch I have so much to tell you!" I smiled I could feel the puzzle pieces of my heart being filled again.

"What about Trish?" Dad asked

"Don't worry about it" I grinned laughing with my dad; I can't believe how much I missed him. I truly love my father, the baby kicked rapidly in agreement.
