Ally's POV

We arrived at Austin's parents' house, and it's not near as big as I thought a superstar's parents' house would be. Don't get me wrong, it's big compared to what I live in. It's a decent size, but you wouldn't expect someone related to the famous to live there. It just looked so normal.

"Austin! Dez!", a blonde woman that I'm assuming is his mother exclaimed hugging them both tightly. I guess Dez and Austin really were close.

"Hey Mom", Austin said.

"Oh boys, you simply must visit more often. It's way too quiet here with just your father and me", she said gesturing towards the man who just came out the door and was walking towards us.

"I will Mom. Oh, let me introduce you to everyone. This is Ally Dawson. She's the awesome girl that agreed to be my fake girlfriend to help me out. Then this is her best friend Trish. And this adorable little girl is Ally's daughter Ella, or as I like to call her, my little Sunshine", Austin said picking Ella up and pointing to me and Trish as he introduced us.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all! I'm Mimi and this is my husband Mike", Austin's mom said.

"It's really nice to meet you both as well Mr. and Mrs. Moon", I said.

"Oh dear please, call me Mimi", his mother said.

"Yes, and call me Mike. Mr. and Mrs. Moon just sounds too formal, and it makes us sound old", his dad added.

"Don't worry about Ally. She's always just so polite to everyone", Austin said. I gave him a questioning look considering I kicked him out of my store the day I met him. He just shrugged.

"Are you guys as awesome as your son?", Ella asked.

"Ella! I'm so sorry, she's usually not so forward", I said a little surprised by my daughter's actions. She's usually so shy. Both Austin's parents just laughed.

"That's quite alright Ally. She's just expressing herself", Mimi said.

"Yeah, and who do you think taught Austin to be so awesome? I know one thing's for sure though…we can definitely out cook him. Would you like some breakfast sweetheart?", Mike asked Ella.

"Yes please", she replied.

"Well, what do you want to eat?", Mimi asked her.

"Pancakes!", Ella exclaimed. "They're my favorite!" I never understood where she got that from, because pancakes were never mine, Elliot, or Trish's favorite, and I doubt she would get it from Samantha. Uhg, even her name makes me want to throw up. Mike, Mimi, Austin, and Dez all looked at each other, then they just died out laughing.

"That's my girl", Austin said high-fiving Ella. Mimi noticed how confused Trish, Ella, and I looked, so she began to explain what they were all laughing about.

"Pancakes are Austin's favorite food of all times. He would eat them any time of day and as many as he could", she said.

"Well I love pancakes and pickles!", Ella said making me smile.

"Now there's my girl", I said making Trish and Ella laugh along with me. Now we're the ones' getting the confused looks from everyone else.

"Pickles are Ally's favorite food", Trish informed them.

"Well, I'm sure we have both pickles and pancakes here", Mimi said trying to contain her laughter. "Come on in."

"Actually Mom, Ally, Dez, Trish, and I have to go tell the press about our relationship. The only thing is that we don't really want to expose Ella to that, so-", Austin started, but Mimi cut him off.

"Austin honey, you don't even have to ask. We would absolutely love to look after this precious little angle", Mimi said.

"Thank-you so much Mimi. We really didn't want to just leave her here, but there's nothing else we could do. There wasn't anyone else who could watch her, and-", I rambled until I was cut off.

"Ally dear, it's really fine. It's obvious that you are a wonderful mother, and I would be more than happy to watch her for however long you need. Since Austin became famous and moved out, it's been way too quiet around here", Mimi said.

"Anyway, we have to go. Thanks again Mom and Dad for watching Ella and we'll try to make it back in enough time for you to get to know Ally and Trish better", Austin said.

"Okay bye sweetie", Mimi said and kissed both Austin and Dez's cheeks.

"Bye Ella. I'll see you later baby. Please behave for Austin's parents, okay?", I said.

"Okay. Bye Mommy, Aunt Trish, Uncle Dez, and Austin. Love y'all", Ella said.

"Love you too", we all said at once. I kissed the top of Ella's head and hopped in the car.

Austin's POV

"Bye Sunshine. Have fun, and save me some pancakes", I said and kissed the top of her head.

"Fat chance of that, but we can make some more", Ella shouted as I got in the car.

"That kid's hilarious", I said when we started to drive away.

"Yeah, she gets that from her father", Ally said. Everyone got really quiet when she said that. I really want to know what's up with that. What could've possibly happened between her and Ella's dad? So many horrible thoughts ran through my mind of the many possibilities, and I just want to punch the lights out of that guy.

Third Person POV (At the Moon's)

"So Ella, what do you like to do for fun?", Mimi asked.

"Well, I used to sneak onto the computer and watch Austin sing, but I don't have to do that anymore, plus I'm not allowed", Ella said making Mike and Mimi laugh a little.

"Well, what else do you like to do?", Mike asked.

Ella thought to herself, ' I can't tell them what I really love to do. I've never told anyone, not even Mommy. I don't even know if I'm any good, and if someone told me I wasn't then I would feel sad, and not want to do it anymore, and I love it so much'.

"I love music", Ella said. It was true, she did love everything that had to do with music, but what she felt truly passionate about was dance. Nobody knew about this, but Ella could do ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, and even a little hip-hop.

"We have music. What do you like to listen to?" Mimi asked.

"Do you have any of Austin's old music from when he was younger? They're my favorite", Ella stated.

"Of course we do. Don't tell Austin, but the older ones are our favorites too", Mimi said.

Ally's POV

We arrived at the press conference where we were bombarded by a huge crowd of people with a ton of questions. I grew extremely nervous, and found myself trembling. Austin noticed my hesitation, and put his arm around my shoulder reassuringly as he led me to the room. Yet again, I got that same safe, protected feeling in his arms. "You okay?", Austin whispered. I nodded, but he could easily tell that was a lie.

"Ally, don't worry. Everything will be okay. Just go along with what I say, and if someone does ask you a question, keep to the story and make the answer as simple as possible", Austin said trying to help me as much as he could.

"Okay", I said simply as we took our seats.

Austin picked someone out of the crowd for the first question. "Hi, I'm Kara Daniels from Star Power. Austin, is it true that you're dating that?", she asked making a disgusted face towards me. Rude!

Austin smiled at me before turning around with a very angry looking expression. "Yes it is most definitely true that we are dating, and she has a name", he said the last part coldly.

"Austin its fine", I whispered.

"No it's not Ally. I'm not going to stand here and let someone treat you like that", he said. How sweet. "Next question."

"Yes, I'm from Bam Magazine. Austin, why did you chose her?", a guy asked. These people are so rude. The way they say these things are really offensive. I mean come on people, I'm right here!

"I'm dating her because I like her, and she's a great person. Next", Austin said. I can't believe he's standing up for me when it's getting him such bad publicity at the moment.

"Why don't you just break up with this freak already so you don't have to keep dealing with her and her little brat", someone said. That's it! Nobody talks that way about my baby! All four of us stood up at the exact same time with the same infuriated look in our eyes.

"SECURITY!", Austin yelled looking directly at the stranger. "I'll have you know that Ally Dawson's little girl is most certainly not a brat! She's an amazing little girl that I love with all my heart. And nobody insults Ally or her daughter and gets away with it on my watch! So if any of you have anything negative to say against Ally or her daughter, I suggest you leave now so I won't have to force you out", Austin threatened.

"Why do you care about them so much? You're one of the richest celebrities in the world, and they work at some stupid, run-down shop in a mall. You could have anyone you want. Why her?", someone yelled out.

"Well, believe it or not, money doesn't buy happiness you jerk", Austin yelled back.

"Yo Austin, your manager just quit. What do we do now? Without a manager, this crowd will never die down", Dez said in a panicky voice.

"Austin, let me be your manager and I can get 'em to quiet down", Trish said. Austin nodded quickly. Oh no….

"HEY! EVERYBODY SHUT UP!", she yelled in the microphone. The crowd quieted quickly in slight fear I suppose.

"Who are you to tell us that?", someone yelled out and a round of people saying 'yeah' chorused.

"I'M AUSTIN'S MANAGER AND I SAID TO SHUT UP BEFORE I CALL THE COPS!", she yelled. Trish is REALLY loud, and she's standing right beside me, so I think my eardrums are about to burst. Austin looks the same way, but I have no clue where Dez went.

"Austin! More bad news!", Dez said running in through the back door. Well, I guess we're about to find out where he was.

"Oh no, what is it now?", Austin asked.

"All of your songwriters quit when they heard your original manager did too. Now they won't come back, and I can't find any more looking for work!", Dez exclaimed. Oh crap, I know what I have to do. Trish apparently heard all of that and thought the same thing, because she gave me a look that said, 'Are you going to tell him or not?' I reluctantly nodded making her smile.

"Austin, can I talk to you somewhere away from the press please?", I asked over the noise.

"Sure", he said and we walked out the back doors where it was a lot quieter. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I heard all your songwriters quit", I started.

"Yeah, this is horrible. Where am I supposed to find a new one?", he asked frustrated.

"If the offer stands, you're looking at her", I said. Austin's eyes grew wide when he heard this.

"Really!? You write songs!?", he asked surprised, yet still excited. I nodded shyly. "That's awesome! You have the voice of an angle, and you write songs!" He thinks I have the voice of an angle? How sweet!

"Yeah, yeah. I'll show you some of my songs later. Now come on. We have to save Trish and Dez from those crazy jerks before they get killed, or kill us", I said dragging him back into the conference room. What on Earth am I getting myself into? Oh well, this does mean I get more time with Austin. That's a plus.
