Hey guys! I'm sooo sorry for the long wait. Hopefully you guys like this chapter. Here it is people, the final chapter of Austin and Ally Moon: 2023!
Chapter 5: The 'Stormie' Day- July 25th, 2023
Ally's POV
"Austin, I love you too much!" I crooned as I playfully poked my husband in his shoulder, his hands on the steering wheel in front of him, "I still can't believe you planned all this without me knowing!"
"Well, I just wanted to surprise you with a little cloud watching with our little baby!" Austin perked his lips as he tickled my big bump of a belly.
"Speaking of this little baby inside of here," I gestured to my stuck out stomach, "she might be a kick boxer or something. She's been kicking whole morning!"
"Awww! She just wants to get out so she could see her momma and dada!" Austin cooed once more as he tickled my bump again.
"Hey, stop that!" I slapped his hands away, "and eyes on the road, soldier!"
He quickly obeyed.
"Ooooo! I got a text!" I screeched as my phone pinged its usual text message alert, "it's Trish. She says, 'What's up?'"
"Tell her we're about to have the greatest day ever with our widdle pumpkin pie!" Austin squealed as he showed my belly a 'kissy' face.
"Babe, if you're so excited about our baby and she's not even out yet, I could imagine how you'd be when she gets here!" I smiled at him before looking down at my phone to reply to Trish.
"I think it's those twenty 'How to be a Father' magazines you ordered! I've heard it has that effect on men expecting their first child," he shrugged as I reminisced about the packages of magazines I forced him to read and suddenly started to feel guilty.
"Oh please!" I argued, "That has nothing to do with it!"
"Whatever. Your goal was to get me prepared and I am, just with a little side effect of excitement," he explained and his original, dashing, toothy grin spread like melting butter on his face.
"You're right! And it's actually cute that you're so excited!" I giggled as I gave him a side- hug and rested my head gently on top his raised shoulder as it stretched to reach the wheel.
"Well, I HAVE to be excited! I mean, it's the first BABY MOON!" he cheered as he tilted his head to rest on top of mine and we snuggled for a second.
Austin's POV
45 minutes later….
"Yay!" I cheered silently making sure I didn't wake Ally up unexpectedly because she had fallen asleep, "Ally, honey, we're here,"
I gave her a slight nudge and waited for her chocolate, milky eyes to appear slowly.
"There it is! iCloudVille Meadows, the best place for the finest cloud watching!" I announced as I veered the car into Sky Drive.
"Nice cause I kinda need to pee," she mentioned as she slipped out of her seatbelt which strapped around her hill- like stomach.
I quickly found a parking spot and jumped out the car and helped her out.
"Thanks Aus. I need to get a washroom. You could get the things out the car by the time I go find one."
"Yes Ma'am!" I saluted as she chuckled away.
Ally's POV
"Gotta pee, gotta pee, gotta pee…" I chanted to myself as I marched down a hallway toward a ladies bathroom sign.
Finally I was in and squeezed through a toilet stall.
"Ahhhhh! That felt nice," I sighed to myself as I looked down at my stomach, "your daddy really wants you out, huh?" I smiled at my stomach feeling a bit uncomfortable; I mean I was literally sitting on a toilet and talking to my unborn baby inside of me. Huhhhh, the mom-to-be experiences!
I was out a while later and scurried back to the parking lot to find Austin leaning against the car, holding my purse like it was his. I had to laugh!
"Honey, can I have my purse back now?" I surprised him.
"I'll hold it for you," he resisted; quite unaware of how ridiculous he was looking with it.
"Okay, fine then. I'm feeling kinda hungry," I remarked as I rubbed my grumbling stomach.
"Me too," he held out a pamphlet with the words 'Welcome to iCloudVille Meadows!' written boldly across, "it says in here that there's a restaurant somewhere around,"
"Ooooo! That sounds nice!" I licked my cherry lips as I flipped through the colourful booklet filled with tons of deliciousness in the restaurant section.
Austin's POV
"Oooo, I think I'll have the steamed squid and ummm…ooo! The shrimp kebabs…aaannnddd…" Ally babbled away as she continuously flipped through the menu; the waitress struggling to keep up.
I finally cleared my throat, "Ummmm, I think we'd just have all the seafood dishes, please and thank you. Hopefully it's enough."
Ally smiled and closed the menu, obviously pleased as the waitress let out a sigh with the click of her pen, "Coming right up!"
About fifteen minutes later…
"Oh my goodness! Look at this food!" Ally gushed as the waitress strolled in with nearly ten steaming trays.
"And it's all for you!" I crooned as I slanted my head and shot her my famous Austin Moon grin.
"Oh, honey! You're the best!" she smiled back as she pinched my cheek playfully.
Ally's POV
'Austin's the greatest husband ever!' I thought to myself as I stared dreamily into his big, rounded chocolate eyes like we were sixteen again; shy, little Ally Dawson crushing on teen rockstar Austin Moon, 'I love this guy!'
"Hey, Aus, I was thinking. Maybe it's time to start on some baby names," I suggested as I looked up from my sizzling lobster.
"You're right. We should have two suggestions from both our friends and parents and from each of us,"
"Yes! That's perfect! Okay, you first," I quickly demanded.
"Ummm, okay…let's see…first will have to be- Abbagale…"
"Awww, cute…what's the next one?"
"Hmmmm…" he hesitated for a moment then finally blurted, " Alana!"
"Oh Austin! That's adorable!"
"Yeah, I know," he boasted.
"But, I don't think it's perfect. But don't worry, you could maybe name the next one," I gave him a perky smile and raised eyebrow arch.
He froze for a minute then gave a dumfounded laugh, "there's gonna be another one?"
"We'll see," I gave him a snicker as I continued, "anyway, my ideas are; Elisabeth anddddd….maybe, Avalon."
"Elisabeth sounds nice," Austin remarked through a mouthful of crab cake.
"Yeah," I rolled my eyes as I looked down at my stomach, suddenly losing my appetite and putting down my fork.
"Ally, what's wrong?" Austin asked, his eyes burning my face with his concerned stare.
"N-nothing, Austin," I quickly replied as I returned to my meal.
"Ally, tell me what's up," he moved nearer and put his hefty, guardian-like arm around my small scapula.
Fresh tears sprang to my eyes, "It-It's just that, now that I really think about it, we're actually gonna have a baby, Austin. Do you know what this means? This is a whole new chapter in our lives. I mean, this is a big, big step. What if we don't make it? What if our child comes out a rebel or-or some lonely anti-social freak?" I mumbled, eyes wide as he cupped my chin, cutting me off.
"Ally, I can't believe you're saying this. We could do this. Our parents did it just fine. You didn't come out a rebel. I know I didn't. Dez, he's like an angel on earth and Trish, welllll…..I think I should just stop there." I snorted with a laugh as he pulled me in a hug, "look Ally, if you're worrying that you'd have to look after our rolling baby by yourself while your rock star husband in on tour or working late at the studio, don't okay? We can never do anything without each other because we're simply, Better Together."
I smiled, "you're right, there's no way I can make it without you,"
Trish's POV
"Come on, Dez! They're gonna be here in four hours. We have to get the wallpaper up and the play pen mantled!" I hollered at my peppy red headed boyfriend as I bustled into my best friends' mansion ready to give them a big surprise!
"Coming!" he shouted behind me, hustling in with all the materials and tools like a dancing giraffe, "you know, instead of yelling, you could at least help."
"What did you just say to me?" I turned on my heels and shot him my steaming mad face.
"Nothing!" he swiftly replied as he looked away.
"Come on. Chop! Chop! Let's get this show on the road. There's still one more month, we could finish this," I reassured him as we headed up the Moons' beautifully adorned mansion and into their future baby's bedroom.
"You know, it kinda feels a bit wrong breaking into our friends' home when they're not home," he abruptly stopped and faced me.
"Well, you may feel guilty but I don't. I'm actually doing something for Ally. After all, I am the baby's Godmother," I replied with a smirk.
"You know, she never really finalized that,"
"Oh shut up, Dez!" I bellowed as I smacked him a 'thwack' in the head, paint fluttering on his nose as he held the paintbrush in front his face, bringing me to peals of laughter as my phone shook, alerting a new message from Ally.
It read:
'Hey Trish! What's up? How's your 'day off' going? Hey, I got a question to ask you. Got any time?'
Suddenly concerned, I answered:
'Oh! Everything's fine. Yes, of course I have time. Lol :D What's going on?'
A few moments later the phone buzzed:
'Oh nothing serious. Austin and I just wanted 2 know if you and Dez could give any two baby name ideas. Is that ok?'
"Ooo! DEZ! Austin and Ally want us to suggest two baby names! Watcha thinking?" I giggled excitedly as I replied a minute later:
'Well isn't that just awesome! My best friend lets me name her daughter!'
Ally:
'What!? I just said suggest names, Trish!'
I replied:
'Lol. I know. Dez says Rebecca and I say maybe Hannah. I just luv that name! 3'
Ally:
'Awww! So cute! Austin loves them! Can't believe we're gonna have a baby! Oh! And did I mention I had like 30 different types of seafood today. Boy, was that something! And this cloud watching is THE BEST!'
"Awww! Ally is having such a great time! I'm so happy for them!" I quickly updated Dez as I typed back:
'Gud 2 know. Ummm, what time would you guys be back?'
Ally:
'Austin says about 3. Why? What's up?'
My mind scrambled for an answer:
'Oh nothing! Can't a friend just be aware of her pregnant bestie's whereabouts? I gotta keep an eye on you. You can't be out too late, missy.'
Ally:
'Haha. Funny. Well, see ya. G2g have some fun!'
I quickly gave her my good byes and turned to Dez whose clothes were now tie died due to him splattering the paint clumsily, "hey, they're coming back at three. Which means we have to get out of here by 2:30. And, please be more careful with the paint, Dez. Can't afford to lose much."
I tucked my silver phone embedded with pink crystals into my jean pocket and looked around the baby suited room. My eyes sparkled in awe as I quickly turned to Dez, " OMG! Dez, look around, there's nothing much to do again. We could like so finish this today!"
"Really?" Dez said putting down the wallpaper glue can and stepping back to observe the bedroom.
"Yes," I said, a smile playing at the corners of my mouth, "we can finish this in an hour!"
"Whoa! That's great!" Dez cheered.
"All we'll have to do is keep them out of this room,"
"Yup! Let's do this!" Dez determinedly spoke as he returned to the wallpaper once again.
"We could do this!" I said picking up the colourful pieces of the play pen I had to put together, " we can!"
Austin's POV
"Woooo!" my pregnant wife sighed exhaustedly as we both took swift steps down the somehow steep knoll.
"Okay, honey. Slow down, now!" I brayed behind her but she continued to ignore me.
"I can't believe this!" she grumbled as she finally made it down the hill, gesturing to the fat raindrops darting ahead.
"I'm sorry, Ally" I spoke as I put an arm around my disappointed wife.
"No, it's not your fault, babe," she said more calmly, "I'm just a bit upset."
"It's okay. Don't be. It'll stop just now," I reassured her.
"Hopefully. Can we go get more shelter?"
"Yeah, come on. You can't get wet."
We trudged along and soon approached a multi-coloured building, iCloudVille's Gift Shop.
"Hey, there's the gift shop! Come on. Be careful," I said as we headed toward the building crowded with hysterical families, who were once ecstatic about their cloud watching trips.
Ally's POV
'I just cannot believe this! Today was supposed to be the greatest day ever!' I cried in my mind as Austin and I were swallowed by the huge wave of bellowing people.
"It's okay. Let's just find somewhere to sit," Austin whispered in my ear as I f he had just read my mind. His firm chest flattened against my back as we pushed through the crowd.
Suddenly, pangs of indescribable pain stroke my insides and nearly brought me to my knees. I felt blood gush through my veins as deep, slow pants escaped from my quivering lips.
"Ally, come on. Don't slow down. There're seats up ahead," Austin pushed me slightly as my foot glued me to the ground, "C'mon,"
His eyes soon opened largely, as I looked up at him, suddenly gone mute and my face pale and frightened.
"Oh no," he gasped as he turned me around carefully, "what's wrong?"
"Au-Au-Austin," a slow breath once more, "it's time!" I finally screeched.
"What?! It can't be! Not here! Not NOW!" he gestured to the packed area we stood in the midst of.
"Austin, I think I'm gonna faint," I responded to his reaction as my heart fought my chest with its loud, harsh thumps.
"No, no, no, Ally, listen to me," he cupped my chin in his hand and led me swiftly to the chairs ahead, "look, we'll find someone."
"Call Doctor Tate!" I panicked as the pain trickled along my spine like droplets of sweat.
"He'd never make it on time!" Austin yelled frantically, "someone! Anyone! Please help! My wife's going into labour! Help!"
Within a millisecond later we heard a blurt from within the crowd, "Hey! That's Austin Moon! Outta my way!"
Our eyes bulged as a plump, African-American lady bustled out the swarm of astonished cloud watchers and Austin squealed as she pushed aside straight up to me.
"Okay honey. All you have to do is take slow, steady breaths. No need to panic. I'm Ms. Jean, a nurse," the composed lady introduced herself as I held onto her.
"It's okay, Ally," I heard Austin and felt his sweaty palm go round mine, "just listen to what she says,"
"Hmmm, I think it's time. Listen, Ally, honey, all you have to do is push very gently when I finish count to ten, okay?"
"Uhuh," I nodded my head as beads of perspiration trickled down my neck.
'This is it Ally. You could do this,' my conscience added as I heard the woman's voice, "Ten!" and gave a strong push.
Tears flowed from my closed eyes and Austin's hand went tighter round mine. Another push and another and finally….
"Oh my goodness!" Austin screamed followed by the heart melting wails of our new born baby.
I opened my eyes to see the marvellous sight, my little bundle of joy cradled in Austin's arms.
"Here, you could use this," Miss Jean held out her picnic blanket and covered pur precious gift, "there you have it, people! Little Miss Baby Moon!"
Tears ran a marathon down my rosy cheeks as I took the beautiful baby from my husband's arms, "Look at her! She's so cute!"
Austin teared up a bit as he passed his hand through his hair, relief surging through me from his touch.
"We did it!" he cheered after a few moments.
"Yeah, we did," I replied barely audible, "can't believe it though. I mean, she wasn't due for another whole month,"
"Oh stuff like that always happen!" Miss Jean chimed in, "it's normal for a baby to be born before it's due date. So don't worry. When the rain calms down, I'd give my Doc a call. Just relax for now,"
"Thank you so much Miss Jean. You're amazing. I owe you big time," Austin cleared his throat and stood up, hand already going into his pocket.
"Oh no honey! You don't worry 'bout that! You've given me something priceless; delivering your first baby!"
"Oh-okay then, Thanks!" Austin replied as the woman bustled away.
"She is too nice," he shook his head as he turned around.
Austin's POV
'This is just the best day ever!' I yelled in my mind, 'Ally just gave birth to our baby girl! Can't ask for anything else right now!'
"This just in. Happy cloud watchers, there's no use for sunblock anymore as mild storm approaches theme park, iCloudVille Meadows. Please find shelter and we advise you to stay indoors at ALL times. More news on this after the break," a man's steady voice blared through the adorned shop as persons looked up at the flat screen television positioned under the crook of the ceiling.
"Seriously, we're stuck here," I groaned as Ally tucked the baby closer to her.
"Well, that gives us more time to name her,"
"You're right. Alana it is!" I declared swiftly without hesitation.
"No it isn't!" Ally yelled back," it's Elisabeth!"
"Guys, guys, come on! Don't fight!" we suddenly stopped as we heard the familiar voice of our best friend, Trish.
"What the-is that….Trish?" a puzzled look appeared on both our faces as Trish strolled in with a polka dotted gift bag in hand.
"Guess who got a job as a Godmother?"she sang as her hands flew in the air creating her famous pose.
"OMG! It is Trish!" Ally echoed as Trish swung an arm around me.
"Yes, it is me! I just had to come! Storm or no storm. I really couldn't be bothered!" she sighed and stroked the baby's warm cheek with a hand, "awww! She's so adorable!"
"I know. She resembles me!" I added with a grin.
"No! She's more like me!" Ally argued as Trish took the sleeping baby from her arms.
"Hey, guys! Stop! The baby looks nothing like you guys! She's waaaaayyyy cuter! And by the way, her name is Stormie; the baby girl born during a storm." She said with a smile.
"Trish, it-it's beautiful and very creative," Ally smiled, "Austin, what do you think?"
"Welllll, I could live with it," I chuckled as we all joined in for a big family hug.
"Hey wait, where's Dez?" I asked Trish as we let go of each other.
"Oh, he's preparing a huge 'little' something for you guys," she smiled cheekily as she spun round, "hey! I think the rain stopped!"
A gasp sounded through the flooded area.
"Yes it has!" an eager chime from a little boy echoed as the doors flung open and happy faces were lit once more accompanied by giggles and screams.
"Yes! Let's get you guys home!" Trish beamed.
Ally's POV
"Oh my-" I began as Trish led us into the gleaming bedroom.
"Yes, I know" Trish responded as Dez flung an arm round her, "this is what we've been hiding from you this whole time. We finished this while you were out then I got a call from Jean, a nurse at the hospital where I work. We're good friends, ya know?"
"Wait, you know Miss Jean?" I asked
"Yeah, she comes for doughnuts and coffee every once in while at the coffee shop,"
"Cool," Austin shrugged.
"Trish, you're amazing!" I squealed as I ran to give my best friend a hug.
Tears formed a pool at the brim of my eye and finally flowed down.
"Oh, it's nothing," she chuckled as she tickled Stormie and watched her small, beady eyes light up, "we had to do something for this little gumdrop,"
"Oh yes! Thank you Dez," I quickly remembered the redheaded eccentric man and slipped my arms around his waist in a hug, "you guys are the best!"
"I think it's time for a family celebration!" Austin cheered as he called everyone in for a hug, "I'll call granny and grandpa!"
...
Yes! Finally my dreams came true! I married a rock star and finally started a family! I just couldn't have done it without my best friends, Trish and Dez, my amazing parents and mostly, the best man on this planet, Austin Moon! Together we came far. Thank you for joining me on my journey from graduate ready for the future to perfect match for rock star Moon to Mrs. Moon to finally, mother of Stormie Alana Moon (yes, I let him take the middle name) Thanks once again!
