Chapter 7: The One With The Back Story .

The little boy ran up to his father, hugging his leg the moment the door opened. His older sister following behind.

"Daddy!" they both squealed.

"Whoa, there!" the Blonde father chuckled, struggling not to stumble as his 4 year old son and 6 year old daughter ambushed him with hugs and kisses. "Ally, help I'm being attacked!"

"We missed you, daddy!" 6 year old Sophie Jamie Moon said, snuggling her head into her father's stomach.

The Brunette walked out the living room to the hallway, one hand holding a magazine while her other was placed at her growing belly. Yup, that's right they were having another baby- little Marvin Taylor Moon is going to be a big brother soon, although they don't know yet if it's going to be a boy or a girl, she was only 3 months pregnant.

Austin smiled at his wife of 8 years. "Hello," he said walking up to her, the two kids still clung to him like moths.

Ally picked up the little Brunette boy "Okay, let go of daddy, little rock star." she said "How's the office today? Anything new?" she directed the question to her husband.

He shrugged, kissing her cheek "It was okay..." he told her "But enough about work, how are you three today?" he picked up Sophie and lead his wife to the living room.

"We helped mommy clean today!" Marvin shouted, hugging his mother tighter as she sat down on the couch, Austin sitting next to her with Sophie on his lap.

"Really?"

"Uh-huh!" the Blonde young girl nodded "But daddy can you tell us the story of how you and mommy met? We saw your old pictures and I asked mommy about it and she said that it's better if you tell us the story." she explained, smiling from ear to ear.

"Really? She said that?" Austin raised an eyebrow at Ally, a teasing smile on his lips.

"Yup!"

Ally blushed, even after years of being together he managed to make her blush at every single thing(maybe it was because he was rather unsuccessful to do so in their first encounter). "She saw the picture where you piggybacked Jane sleeping and Nick clinging to both our hands." she said, as if that explained it all. And it did; it all made sense to him.

He nodded "Okay, well let's see..." he started, putting on a goofy look in his face. Earning himself a giggle from his family. "Your mom and I met when we were sixteen..."

The little boy cried in the midst of the busy Miami Mall.

"Ally, Ally!" The Brunette's 7 year old cousin, Jane, tugged at the hem of her floral sundress. "Look at that boy." she pointed at the Blonde boy with her other hand.

"Oh my," Ally gasped.

"We should go help him, Ally."

"Okay," she nodded and Jane started dragging her across the mall to the sobbing boy.

When the got to the boy, Ally crouched down to his height "Hey, hello there," she cooed at him "Hey, come on, don't cry. What's wrong?" she asked, prying off his hands from his face. It was clear that the boy was about the same age as Jane.

The boy hiccuped, quieting down his cry to look at Ally and Jane. "Hello, what's your name?" Jane smiled at him "I'm Jane and this is my cousin, Ally." she pointed at Ally. "Are you lost?"

He nodded "I-I'm N-Nick..."

"Well, Nick, who are you with today?" Ally said "Are you parents with you? Where are they?"

"I-I'm here with m-my brother... b-but I c-can't find him..."

"Ally, we have to help him."

The Brunette nodded "Yup, come on let's go find your brother." she stood up, holding out her hand to Nick and the other to Jane.

"Can we get ice cream first?" her cousin said "I really some ice cream. Do you want some ice cream Nick?" she turned to the Blonde boy.

Nick nodded "Uh-huh."

Ally smiled at them "Okay, let's go get ice cream then we'll find your brother. What his name?"

"Austin."

They walked down to the new ice cream shop at the mall. They sat outside, just in case Nick's brother would go looking for him there. So, far Ally wasn't quite impressed with this Austin guy- what good natured brother would leave their younger sibling at the mall in a busy summer day like today?

"Okay, what flavor would you two like?" she asked.

"Nick?!" someone shouted from across the mall that made Ally look for the source. "Where are you? Nick?!"

"Austin!" Nick called back, waving at the Blonde boy. He was about the same age as Ally. "Austin, I'm here!"

"Nick!" Austin yelled, running towards them, panting a little. "Oh my god, where did you go? What happened? Mom is gonna kill me if she ever found out I lost you. Oh my god!"

"It's okay, Austin. Ally and Jane helped me."

"Ally and Jane? Who's Ally? And who's Jane?"

The mentioned girl cleared her throat, only now did he notice the gorgeous Brunette standing opposite him. "I'm Ally." she held up a hand. "And Jane is my cousin."

Austin smiled at her, his cheeks a little bit more red then it already was. He'd say that it was from all the running he did while looking for Nick but that would be a lie.

"O-oh," he sheepishly scratched the back of his head "Uh, h-hi. I'm Austin, Nick's brother. T-thank you for looking after him."

'Well at least he has manners.' Ally thought.

In all fairness, he was a very good looking guy- perfectly tanned skin and built body structure, the messy Golden Blonde hair that illuminates under the sunlight and swept just the right way and the beautiful tantalizing Hazel Brown eyes.

Their eyes locked for a few seconds before he broke it because of the giggling of the two kids.

He cleared his throat, trying his best to keep his cool. "Well, uh t-thanks again for, you know..." he trailed off. "But uh, we better get going Nick-"

"But we're still getting ice cream." the younger Blonde complained "I really want some ice cream, Austin. You owe me an ice cream for leaving me behind."

"Smart kid." Ally murmured, making him blush even more.

"O-okay... what do you want?"

"Rocky road. What about you Jane?"

"Cookie Dough!"

A smile made its way to the Blonde's face "Oh, so you like Cookie Dough ice cream, too huh?" he beamed at the young Raven haired girl, who nodded enthusiastically. "W-what about you? Come on, it's my treat." he smiled at Ally, finally regaining his confidence and dignity.

Ally eyed him, both eye brows raised in amusement. "I'll help you get the ice cream." she said before walking inside the ice cream shop.

He stumbled to follow her inside(thankfully, the shop was empty except for the one employee at the counter). "Welcome to 'Ice cream, Ur 's cream!' your new favorite ice cream shop. Can I take you order?" the man behind the counter told them.

"Two Cookie Dough ice cream, one Rocky Road, and uh, what would you like?" he turned to Ally.

"I'll have one Fruity Mint Swirl."

"And one Fruity Mint Swirl, please."

"Okay, please wait for a few minutes for the ice cream."

Then Ally started to pay for the ice cream but Austin beat her to it. "My treat, remember?" he beamed at her "Just think of this as my payment. For finding my brother."

She nodded, obliging to his request, and he finally payed for the ice creams.

"So..." Austin cautiously started as they moved from the counter to the side of the shop, where they waited for the ice cream "Ally, tell me about yourself. What made you want to help my brother?"

"First of all, any good natured person would want to help your brother because he was weeping helplessly in the middle of the mall and secondly, I think you should be the first one to tell me about you."

"So, you're saying that you're a good natured person. You must be an angel then, you definitely look like someone from heaven."

Ally blushed at his supposed compliment but raised an unimpressed brow at him.

"Right, yeah about myself..." he quickly changed the subject, avoiding her scrutinizing eye. "Well, uh- oh, hey look, there's the ice cream." he stalled, pointing at the one coming four ice creams that the employee held in both hands. He got two of the ice creams and the other two were handed to her.

She narrowed her eyes at him but didn't say anything as they got back to their table. He kept avoiding her gaze, thinking of a good way to introduce himself to her- to redeem himself from the unflattering mistakes he'd done in the past 10 minutes, like losing his brother and unsuccessfully flirting with her.

They got back to their table and gave the ice creams to the two kids, who were animatedly chatting with one another about something(he swears he heard his brother say something about getting him and Ally together).

They were silent for a few moments before Ally spoke up again. "So, you never told me about yourself, Austin." she said, an eyebrow raised at him and a teasing tone in her voice. He could tell that she was enjoying herself in seeing him embarrass himself in front of her, although instead of getting annoyed at her, he was rather endeared by her.

He decided to play along with her "Someone's a little eager..." he responded with a smile tugging at his lips. "But if you insist then who am I to deny such a beautiful lady's request."

Ally shook her head at his attempt to flirt with her again. "Are you still on to me about being an angel because if you do another pick up line about heaven and angels, I can assure you that all hell will break lose." she snarled with a scrutinizing look in her eyes that made him want to shrink like a pea.

Jane giggled "That's not true; she wouldn't do that," she inputted, reassuring Austin. "She's as harmless as a bunny."

The Brunette blushed beet red at that comment which made Austin burst out laughing. "Jane!" she gave the young girl a look while the Blonde beside her still laughed.

She frowned at him, crossing her arms together. He stopped laughing after seeing this action. "It wasn't really surprising, I mean, I'm not trying to tell you another cheesy pick up line or something but you do look like someone who's as harmless as a bunny." he offered "Not that there's anything wrong with that- bunnies are cute and fluffy..."

A blush creeped to her cheek again and he knew this time the 'pick up line' worked(although, he really didn't mean for it to be a pick up line). Austin smirked. "Now we're getting somewhere..." he murmured to himself. Ally heard him but only pretended she didn't.

"Hey, Ally?" Jane interrupted them "I want to go to the park. Can we go there?"

"Let's go to the park too, Austin!" Nick added, nodding enthusiastically. "Come on, please? If we go to the park with Jane and Ally, I promise I won't tell mom that you left me in the middle of the mall."

His eyes went wide in fear. "Okay, okay, we'll go to the park." he turned to Ally with hopeful eyes(which she found rather enticing). "If that's okay with you, I mean..."

"Yeah, it's okay..." Ally nodded as she moved up from her chair to dispose of her half eaten Fruity Mint Swirl. As much as she loved that flavor of ice cream, she really wasn't much of a sweet tooth. And Austin noticed this.

"Wait, why are you throwing away the ice cream?" he asked, taking a firm hold on her wrist to prevent her from throwing it away. "You barely took a bite on it."

She looked at him with confused eyes, not sure if she should be amused or worried about him. "Um... I'm throwing it away because I don't really eat ice cream that much..."

Austin looked at her with disbelief "How can you not like ice cream? I mean is that flavor really terrible for you to not like ice cream?" the four of them started walking to the park. Nick and Jane acted like they were engulfed in their own conversation but really they were listening them.

"I'll have you know, Fruity Mint Swirl is the best flavor of ice cream in the world that I have ever tasted." she defended.

"Really now?" he chuckled at her "I've never even tasted Fruity Mint Swirl. Now, Cookie Dough that is the best."

"No, it's not. Fruity Mint Swirl is the best and I'm gonna prove it to you." she said, a proud look on her face.

"Okay, how?" he challenged, a smug look in his face.

She scrunched her nose in the most cute way he has ever seen anyone do but that wasn't what really caught his attention. The next thing she does was. She stretched her arm towards him and offered the ice cream. "Here's your proof. Try it."

It was his turn to narrow his eyes "Okay, I'll try it but only if you try Cookie Dough. Then we'll judge what's the best flavor." He offered his ice cream to her as well.

She started to reach the cone but he kept it away from her. He shook his head. "Nope. We have to feed it to each other." he grinned and the two kids chuckled. They were already at the park but neither really wanted to go play- it was more fun watching Austin and Ally bicker.

Ally narrowed her eyes at him again but didn't say anything as she moved closer to him as he step forward as well.

Suddenly both of them were pushed forward and their faces mashed with the ice creams in front of them. Then Nick and Jane burst out laughing at them.

Ally blinked a few times as she felt coldness spread through her face while Austin shot daggers to the two kids.

"Oh, you two are so going to get it!" he exclaimed, throwing the already ruined ice cream on the floor to chase the two kids.

"Ah, run!" Nick squeaked, sprinting away from Austin as his older brother started to tickle him. Jane did the same.

"Come on, Ally, these two need a lesson or two about keeping out of adults' business." Austin called to her as he ran after Jane. She was brought out of her daze and she started to chase Nick.

They went on for about another hour, chasing and tickling one another. Of course, the two kids got tired sometime after and Jane ended up falling asleep while Austin was tickling her.

Needless to say, that was how Austin ended up giving Jane a piggyback to accompany Ally home while Nick loosely clung to both their hands, fighting the urge to fall asleep as well. Jane's mom was the one who took the picture of them when they got to Ally's house.

"And that kids, is how-"

"Um... Austin?" Ally interrupted him, biting her lip to keep herself from laughing.

Austin turned his head to look at her "Yes, Ally?"

She smiled at him "The kids fell asleep." she half grimaced, half chuckled.

"What-?!"

"Shh, don't wake them."

He grumbled, looking down at his daughter, who was using his lap as a pillow. "No fair, I was so looking forward to pulling a Ted Mosby..."

Ally giggled, getting up from the couch. Marvin rested his head on her shoulder as she carried him. "I know, that's why I wanted you to tell them the story... but maybe you can tell them next time, when all three of them are here." she smiled at him, holding out a hand to him. "But for now, let's go to sleep."

Austin carefully picked up Sophie and for old time's sake, piggybacked her.

A/N: Hey, guys, what's up? I know, I've been gone for a while and you probably hate me for not updating on any of my stories. And I'm sorry for that. It's just that I've been very busy college and stuff, I had my finals exam this month so I really had to study hard but that's all over now and I'm happy to say that I passed all my exams, so now, I have more time for writing and stuff 'cause my break is like a month and two weeks long(ha, I know right no classes for the whole of December and two weeks of January- it's so awesome!)

Anyway, I hope you all liked this one shot. It's kind of AU-ish, I guess. This is loosely based on Taylor Swift's and Ed Sheeran's Everything has Changed. And also, a little reference to How I Met Your Mother cause of how Austin wanted to use Ted's line of how he met their mother and I don't know if you guys noticed but there's also a F.R.I.E.N.D.S. reference in the chapter title because all episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S start with the line "The One With/Where/After". I just couldn't resist not putting those in because those two are my favorite t.v. shows. =D

Lastly, for those of you waiting for the next update of IYAA, I promise I will update it before November ends so maybe on Sunday I will be able to post the latest. If not then it would be next week. Sorry again for taking so long and if there are any mistakes. But, thanks too for your support.

Never hesitate to give me a prompt or request or just talk to me- give me a message or leave me a review(I'd be very grateful if you do). I swear I don't bite. :)
