Hey guys! Merry Christmas Drake and Josh is on! EEEKE!

Disclaimer: I don't own Austin & Ally


Ally's POV

"Thank you guys, once again, for the baby shower!" I said to Trish and Dez. We had met them for lunch at Melody's.

Trish sighed. "Ally, you're welcome. But you can stop thanking us. It was no problem and a lot of fun to plan!"

I smiled. "So, what's been going on with you two lately?"

"Oh, nothing really. We went to go see a movie the other night, but that's the only thing."

"Ah" I said. It's really weird. Usually, Dez is talking up a storm about all the romantic stuff that they do, but Trish is the only one talking, and not at all about romantic stuff. I looked at Austin, who I could tell noticed it too.

After lunch, Austin and I headed home. "Austin, did you notice anything wrong with Dez?"I asked.

"Now that you mention it, yeah, I did. He wasn't talking at all."

"I think you and him need to have a guys night."

"Good idea. I'll ask and see if you wants to tonight."

We got home, and while Austin was calling Dez, I went into our bedroom to change into my pajamas. While I was taking off my makeup, something happened. Something absolutely, indescribably, amazing happened. I felt our little baby girl kick. I gasped as I smiled. I ran to go tell Austin, but then I remembered that he was on the phone... All I could do was sit there and wait for him to get off.

I was still in the bedroom, and after what seemed like a lifetime, Austin was finally off the phone. He walked in and saw the huge smile that was on my face. "Why are you smiling?" He asked with a laugh evident in his voice.

I was still in so much shock, only two little words left my mouth. "She kicked."

Austin's eyebrows raised. "That's amazing!" He hugged me.

I laughed and then I came back to reality. "So what did Dez say?"

"He said that it would be great and that he needed to talk to me."

"So what are you guys gonna do?"

"Uh, I dunno. Maybe get some food, go see Zaliens 13, whatever."

"Cool!"

Once it was time for Austin to pick Dez up, I was alone. I didn't really want to call Trish, so I decided to call my mother and see if she wanted to come over.

She came and we ordered Chinese, watched The Proposal, and painted our nails. It was nice to have her over. I hadn't had a girl's night like this in a while. She left as Austin came home.

"So how was it?" I asked. I was really curious to know why our friend was acting that way.

He hesitated to tell me. "Uh… It- it was, uh… a devastating night." He sighed.

"What happened?"

"I-I can't tell you." He tried not to make eye contact.

I was shocked. We've been best friends for 5 years, we're husband and wife, and we have a baby on the way. Why in the world could he not tell me?! "Austin, we tell each other everything. Our lives are open books."

"But it's not our lives!" He snapped. "It's theirs. And for now, I just can't tell you. I'm sorry, Als." He kissed my forehead lightly.

I crossed my arms and sighed as I sat on the couch.

He changed the subject so things wouldn't get awkward. "What did you do all night?"

I didn't say anything for a moment. I was still a little upset with him. I just didn't understand why he couldn't tell me. But, I can't stay mad at him. I won't stay mad at him. So I broke. "My mom came over and we had a girl's night. It was really enjoyable."

"Good, I'm glad." He smiled. Now I really couldn't stay mad at him. His smile made me melt as if I were ice on a hot, July day in Miami.

I yawned. "Well, I'm gonna hit the sack."

"I'll come with!" He grabbed my arm and walked with me up the stairs.

We got in bed and he instantly fell asleep. But, I couldn't get comfortable. I was thinking about Dez, about the whole situation. What made Austin's night so devastating? What did Dez tell him? Why couldn't Austin tell me? Does Trish know about any of this? As I was dozing, my mind went all over the place. Was Dez moving and couldn't be with Trish? Did someone in Dez's family die? Was Dez going to die?! I instantly shook out of my sleep, causing the bed to move.

Austin woke up. "What's wrong?"

I was still thinking about that last thought. No! Dez is not dying! Why would you even think that? "Huh? Oh, nothing."

"No, something's up. What is it, babe?" He turned on the lamp that was sitting on his nightstand.

I put my head on his shoulder and hugged him. "Dez isn't dying, right?" I asked as I started to cry.

"What?! No! What would make you ask that?!"

"I-I don't know. I'm just going crazy! What did Dez tell you that made your night so devastating that you can't tell me?!" I almost shouted.

"Ally," He sighed. "Dez isn't dying. Probably nothing that you thought is going to happen. Stop dwelling on it. I'm sure you'll find out about it soon." He said the last part in a hushed voice. It must really be something serious. But, I do need to stop dwelling on it.

I sighed as I laid back down. He turned the light off and we both went to sleep.


Aww! Ally felt the baby kick! :)

Hmmm... What did Dez tell Austin? I would love to hear what you think!

Chapter 12 Wednesday! Love you guys! :)
