Chapter 8
Previouslyon That Unexpected Phone Call
No one POV
"Who did she fail?" Austin asked Dez, interrupting his story. Austin couldn't understand who could Ally fail, and what did Anna being in the hospital had to do with it.
Trish and Dez shared a knowing look, Trish knew who Ally said she failed, Dez told her, and both future wedded couple knew that their blonde friend's heart would break when they told him.
"WHO?" He asked, impatiently.
"She said she failed you and Anna, Austin." Trish replied softly.
Trish POV
"What? Why did she feel like she failed me? I get why feeling like she failed Anna but I didn't even know about Anna until few days ago." Austin asked me, confuse filling his voice.
"Look, she felt like even if you don't know Anna, you still count on Ally to protect and take good care of your daughter." I explained to him.
"Wow… wait, but I still can't understand what Jimmy has to do with Ally not telling me. From everything you just told me she was the one to ask him not to tell me." Austin stated.
"I wasn't taking about that actually." I started. "Look, Ally left because Jimmy gave her three options: abortion, adoption or leaving. Ally knew that you would never approve the first two, not that she would approve killing her own child or giving her up, so she choose the last option, leaving.
"But when Anna got sick, Ally wanted to call you, to tell you everything. At the beginning when Anna was losing weight and getting weaker, we thought it was too much dangerous and we didn't know if she would pull through. The day they went to the doctors' and Anna was diagnosed, Ally decided to tell you, especially since she knew that even if you would be mad for her not telling you before, you would forgive sometime, but if Anna didn't make it and you would have never met your baby because of her." I finished and Dez started as he was the one who was with her that time.
"Trish is right, she did want to call you and she did, she called you, but it wasn't you who answered, it was Jimmy." Dez started telling, continue telling the story I stated telling. "Jimmy asked her why she was calling you and that he was answering you were recording at the time and Trish wasn't there. When she told him that she called to tell you about Anna, he got mad at her, and told her that if she ever tells you anything about Anna he would drop you from his label, and he would make sure you could NEVER work in the music industry again.
"She knew that working in the music industry has always been your dream and she didn't want everything you worked so hard for would be lost, so she just ended the call and started to cry. Five minutes later we left the house and went to the doctors'." Dez finished. Austin didn't replay at first and when I looked at him and he just looked shocked.
Austin POV
What? She only did it for me? She wanted to tell me but only because of this idiot Jimmy I wasn't here when they needed me the most, all because of a stupid career I didn't even want to continue after Ally left me!
All I want to do right now is to kill Jimmy, he is the reason I never got to meet my little girl until the accident. But I can't risked being thrown to jail right now, Anna need at least one of her parents around.
To be honest I remember the day Trish and Dez said Ally called me on.
I was in the recording booth, I was recording song that I wrote myself, not one of that Ally wrote. I wrote it about her and me missing her, I called it "Talking to the Moon*". I wasn't going to put in my album I just wanted to record it so I can have it when I would meet Ally again so I can play it to her.
While singing, I saw my phone light up and Jimmy answering for me, like always when Trish didn't come to my recordings and I was in the middle of recording.
I saw him looking confused at the caller ID and leaving the room to talk. I just guessed it was his daughter, Kira, or his wife, Hellen, as sometimes they called me if he wasn't answering his own cell. But when he came back he had a faint of a smirk on his face.
Later when I finished recording I asked him who called and he just said it was a wrong number. But when I looked at the calls history I saw that the last call listed was that morning at 8 AM, a call I made to Jen, to ask when she wanted me to come babysit Kay that night as Nick and her had to attend some event and wanted me to come, as they never trusted outsiders to take care of their daughter and my parents and sister were on a some parents-daughter trip with her school.
Back then I couldn't understand why Jimmy would lie and delete the call, but now I do, he didn't want me to know Ally called me.
"That lying idiot! He told me it was a wrong number and deleted the call! I can't believe I fell for it!" I said angry.
"Do you want us to continue telling you what happened or to stop and continue tomorrow?" Trish asked me. I was tired but I want to know everything.
"Yes please, if you don't mind, I am guessing you are tired, and just want to go home." I told them.
Trish POV
"It's okay, we don't mind, right Dez?" I told my best friend, but the last question I directed to my fiancé, slightly glaring at him.
"Of course." He replied, forcing himself to be nice.
"Like I said before, after hanging up Ally kept quit, she didn't answer me when I talked to her. On the drive to the hospital she just kept looking in her phone, which later I saw was open on a picture of the two of you.
"Anyway, after Ally said that she failed you and Anna I moved next to her and held her while she cried; I tried telling her that she didn't fail you, that you would never blame her, even if something happened. She just kept on crying, that is until the doctor came in and told us that the blood results were in, Anna has Diabetics type 1. After he told us that Ally raised her head and looked at him. I remember everything that happened that moment as if it was yesterday, even her words even though 18 months have passed. 'Really, so my baby would be okay?' Ally told him, and you could hear in her voice how much she wanted the doctor to say yes. The doctor said that she would be perfectly fine, and went on, telling us about everything that would happen from there.
"He told us that Anna would have to stay in the hospital at least a week in order to make sure her sugar levels stay normal, as well as connecting her to an insulin pump and sensor, since she is a little girl and it's harder for the parent to monitor a kid's sugar levels without one. Of course they also had to match the best insulin type to Anna…" Dez kept bubbling about everything that the doctor told them then, that is until Austin cut him off.
"Yeah I know all this stuff, I remember all this from Lauren's diagnose." He cut Dez off. "How did Anna took all this in?" He asked.
"She was asleep when the doctor came but when she woke up, we sat with her and explained what happened and what was going to happen, well the best we could with an 18 months old. Just as we finished explaining Trish arrived. We told her everything and then just sat there, taking with Ally, playing with Anna and so. When visiting hours were over at 9:00PM, Ally stayed with Anna and Trish and I went back to my apartment." Dez finished.
"Yeah, and we build some kind of schedule, every morning we would come just as visiting hours started at 8:00AM, stay with Anna for 30 minutes while Ally went to the apartment to freshen up. Then she would come back and Dez would go to work. Ally and I would stay with Anna and talk or play with Anna. At lunch time Dez would come back with take out and we would eat next to Anna, then he would go back to work until 5:30PM when he would go to the apartment, cook something and bring it to0 the hospital so we could eat. At 9:00 PM Dez and I would go back to the apartment and Ally would stay with Anna alone until the next morning. That was our schedule for ten days, until Anna was discharged." I told him.
"Guys, I know you are tired but do mind to stay for few more minutes, I need a shower to clear my head.
"Sure, go ahead." I told him, knowing that the only way Austin can clear his head and order his thoughts was a shower, even though most people think his way to clear his head was to sing or play the piano. Dez knowing that as well, nodded in agreement.
"Thanks guys." He said and headed to the bathroom.
The minute Austin disappeared in the bathroom I turned to Dez. I needed to know if my theory was correct and the last time I tried asking him Austin ruined it.
"Dez, why were you acting like this? Is it because of…" I started but he cut me off.
"Don't even think about saying hisnamenear me!" He said angry. Ever since his death Dez can't hears his name and won't talk about it.
"But are you doing this because of him are you jealous of Austin, is that what's going on?" I asked him.
Dez POV
"But are you doing this because of him are you jealous of Austin, is that what's going on?" Trish asked me.
What does she want from me? She hated him what does she want me to say that yes I was jealous, that I wanted Austin to never finding out so that I can be Anna's only male figure in her life, that I would be able to be her father figure. That I hate the fact that I would never have that chance and he was the last chance I had!
"Please honey, just tell me." She told me softly and put her hand on my knee, squeezing it softly. "Is this about DJ?" she asked me.
"Why do you even care?" I asked her harshly. "You hated him ever since you found out about him!" I continued, still with harsh tone.
"First of all, lower your voice, Anna is asleep!" Trish told me, her voice law but deadly. "And second of all, I never hated DJ! I hated her! I wanted DJ…" Trish continued, still with the law deadly tone, but got cut off by the blonde devil who returned from his shower.
"Who is DJ?" Austin asked confused. I was confused myself for a second, that is until I remembered that he doesn't know about DJ, he died before I told Austin about him?
"DJ stands for Dezmond Wade junior, he was my son." I told him, my heart broke a bit as I said my late son's full name.
"Your son? When did you two have a son?" He asked us confused.
"Not our son, Austin, mine, and he is not here anymore, he is dead." I told him, harshly.
* I don't own 'Talking to the Moon' by Bruno Mars.
So now you know who he is, but what is DJ story? And who is her?
This time I won't tell you how many reviews for a faster update, I am sorry but I won't be able to update the next weekend. So the next update would probably only be in two weeks…
