I do not own Austin and Ally

I'm going to warn you guys that the end of this chapter may or may not be possible. It might sound a little stupid, but it is a bit of a filler chapter. I'm doing that, because I wanted to have something in between all the drama that had just occurred, and the future chapters that I do have a bigger plan for.

Ally's POV

Well, all eight of us are now safe, sound, and out of the hospital. I hope that lasts, but knowing my luck, it probably won't for long. Life is back to normal now…and by normal, I mean crazy wedding and Christmas plans that I was working on before all the horrible stuff happened. Right now I'm dress shopping with Ella, Trish, Maddie, and Mimi. Yay! (Note my sarcasm) Everyone has very different opinions…especially Trish.

"Hey Ally, what about this one?", Trish asked holding up the most awful dress I've ever seen in my life. It was an extremely puffy dress with many bright colors and sparkles everywhere. How do they even consider that a wedding dress!?

"Trish, there's no way I'm going to wear that at my wedding", I said. Or ever.

"Why? It's beautiful", she said. She has to be joking…but this is Trish.

"It's your style Trish, not mine. I want a white dress anyway", I said.

"White after Labor Day!?", she exclaimed.

"Trish, it's a wedding dress. That doesn't count, and February is very close to spring. Can't we just pick out your dresses and the flowers first?", I asked. It's times like these when I wish I had a mother to pass her things down to me. I can just imagine the mother I wanted to have wearing the most beautiful wedding dress I've ever seen, and she offers to let me wear it. That would be perfect, but I don't have a mother to do that for me.

"Fine. What color do you want ", Trish asked.

"I want light pink dresses for the bridesmaids' dresses, and then light pink and light yellow carnations for the flowers", I said. It's very girly, but I think those colors would look really pretty at a wedding, even though my favorite color's red. Red didn't seem like it would go good at a wedding, so I picked Ella's favorite colors. Coincidently, yellow is also Austin's favorite color. Carnations have always been my favorite flowers for some reason, so Ella recommended I use those in the wedding. (They're her favorite as well) I guess you could say that I let my five year old daughter plan the majority of my wedding.

"Ally, that sounds beautiful, but what are we going to do about there being one more bridesmaid than groomsmen?", Maddie asked. There's been an odd number of the wedding party since I asked Maddie to be another one of my bridesmaids, but I don't care. I really want her in my wedding. Mimi and Trish are my other bridesmaids, and Dez and Mike are the groomsmen. Dez is the best man, and Trish is the maid of honor. They're a match made in heaven, right? You'd think, but never tell that to Trish. I mentioned it to her once, and I'm surprised she didn't literally rip my arm off from how hard she was pulling it, all while trying to convince me that she didn't like Dez at all.

"I'll have to talk to Austin first, but there is one man who's been incredibly nice to us lately, and may be a good choice", I said.

"Ally, no. He did something great, but you haven't seen him in forever. It'll be a huge mistake to let him be in your wedding", Trish said.

"What on Earth are you talking about?", I asked really confused.

"Elliot. Don't you remember all the pain he put you through?", she said making me laugh.

"Trish, I was talking about Dr. Murphy. Besides, Elliot's still in jail", I said.

"Oh", she said looking down.

"If he was my birth daddy, but he's your brother, do I call him Uncle Elliot?", Ella asked. That was really confusing. I can't even imagine how strange this all must be for her little brain to take in.

"I don't know baby, but let's not worry about that now. We have to pick you out a pretty pick dress", I said making her perk up.

"Okay", she said excitedly. "Hey Maddie, can you teach me how to text?", she asked. Maddie was busy playing on her new phone that Austin had bought her for her birthday, even though she said she didn't want anything. She really love s that phone though. I guess if you've spent eighteen years without one though, you would too.

"Uh…sure. Do you know how to read or spell?", Maddie asked.

"A little. I don't start school till next August", Ella said. She could've gone this year if her birthday wasn't past the deadline.

"Well, to text you have to know how to read and spell. You also need a phone", Maddie pointed out.

"Mommy, can I have a phone so I can learn how to text?", Ella asked me. Man, I thought I would have at least two or three years before I heard that question.

"I don't know…", I said uncertain.

"Please…", she begged.

"Come on Ally. It could really be useful, especially if she ever gets lost again", Trish said. 'Yeah, lost by you', I wanted to say, but decided against it.

"Ally, I'm not usually for all the high-tech stuff with little kids, but Trish does have a point. It could be good for her", Mimi said.

"Please Mommy?", Ella begged. How can I say no when they do make a good point, and after all she just went through?

"If Daddy's okay with it, I guess I am too", I said giving in. That made her scream with joy. Before I could do anything else, she grabbed my phone and dialed Austin's number.

"He-", Austin started, but Ella interrupted him.

"Daddy! Mommy said I could have a phone if you said yes. So can I?", she asked. It was on speaker phone, so I could hear him laughing.

"Well hello to you too Sunshine. You know, I thought I'd be the one trying to convince your mommy to let me buy you a phone", he said.

"Your mother and Trish convinced me while Ella begged a lot", I admitted.

"Well it's fine with me-", he started, but was caught off by Ella screaming again.

"YAY! Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you Daddy! I love you so much", she said excitedly.

"Yeah, yeah. Everybody loves the rich guy when he's saying yes", Austin joked.

"Well yeah, but I still love you anyway", she said. Aww!

"I love you too Sunshine. Oh no! Ally, I'm out of pancake mix!", he said frantically making all us girls laugh.

"Awe, is the poor baby out of pancakes?", Trish asked in a baby voice.

"Shut up Trish. This is serious business, and as my manager it's your job to handle my business for me. What about my lack of pancake mix?", Austin whined.

"I'm your manager for career choices, not your idiotic pancake problems", Trish retorted.

"Aunt Trish, Daddy's right. This is very serious. You never joke about pancakes", Ella said looking dead serious.

"See?", Austin said.

"Austin, I'll buy some pancake mix at the store on my way home and drop it off at your place. Are you happy now?", I asked sarcastically.

"Very. Thanks Als. Oh no. Wait, Dez don't touch that! No, Dez n-crap. I gotta go. Love you guys. Bye", he said. We all said bye and hung up.

"Get used to that honey. I bought more pancake mix than soap", Mimi said. She was probably happy that she wasn't the one having to deal with that anymore, but I'll be dealing with it a lot longer than eighteen years. We got the flowers, then went to the dress shop where I picked the most adorable pink dresses. I would wear it too, if it wasn't my wedding and I didn't have to wear a wedding dress. They were light pink sleeveless dresses that came down to about an inch above the knee. They were fit around the top, and the rest flowed. It would look really beautiful if they spun around in circles. I did end up buying one for myself, even though I won't be wearing it in the wedding. It would make a really nice church or dinner dress.

"Okay Ally, we'll see you later. Do you want to go Christmas and dress shopping for you tomorrow?", Trish asked.

"I can't tomorrow, but what about the next day?", I asked.

"That's fine, but what is it you're doing tomorrow?", she asked.

"Going out with Austin", I said quickly. It wasn't a lie, I would be with Austin, but not on a date. He still doesn't know, but I'm going to see Elliot in jail tomorrow.

"Who's going to watch me?", Ella asked.

"I'll do it", Maddie offered.

"That's sweet Maddie, but you know you don't have to", I said.

"But I want to. I love Ella, and it should be fun. Maybe we could even go look at some phones", Maddie said. I smiled.

"That sounds great, but you're not paying", I said.

"Well, I guess it's a good thing her 'rich Daddy' already offered to pay", she said making us all laugh.

"Okay, but we pay you back for anything you buy…even food", I said. She rolled her eyes, but agreed, and we all went our separate ways. Ella and I, of course, had to go to the store to get Austin's pancake mix. We then went back to Austin's place *cough* mansion; I still can't get used to that. When we got there, all I could hear was a lot of crashing, so I had to ring the doorbell five times. Maddie finally answered the door with a nervous grin on her face.

"Hey Maddie, what's up?", I asked.

"Umm…nothing much, besides the fact that Dez is breaking everything in the house, and Austin's helping break it all by trying to clean it up", she explained. We then heard another huge crash, and ran to the living room.

"Dez! I said to stop touching stuff", Austin whined from the other room. Ella and I laughed, but Maddie just sighed. "Boys, don't make me come in there again!", she yelled.

"Sorry", they both yelled back. I laughed. They're the ones that are supposed to be 'looking after' Maddie, but she acts the grown up, while they act like little kids. I can just picture how married life's going to be like with Austin and Ella.

"Uh…Maddie? Where's the glue-gun?", Dez asked nervously coming in the living room.

"Yeah right. Like I'm letting you anywhere near that thing again. Forgetting you've already burnt yourself three times with it this week alone?", Maddie asked as if she were scolding an eight year old little boy. Dez put his head down and started to walk away.

"And don't you dare get the superglue", Maddie said, then seemed to remember something else. "Don't let Austin use those either", she said then turned back to me.

"It's like they were both raised by wolves that couldn't handle 'em so they decided it would be nice to push them off on me", she said frustrated.

"It's okay Maddie. You just sit down and relax with the calm child (who's supposed to be the only child) while I handle those giant idiots", I said. She laughed and plopped down on the couch by Ella who had already turned the T.V. on to her favorite show in the world, Dog With A Blog(1)

"Oh, I love this show!", Maddie exclaimed making me laugh. At least I know she still has some kid left in her.

"What happened!?", I exclaimed walking into where Dez was, but I didn't see Austin.

"Let's just say that I'm not a very good cook", Dez said smiling guiltily. There was glass shattered all over the place, and all the food had been dumped out on everything in the room as well.

"Dez, there's glass everywhere", I complained. Then the idiot he is decides it would be a good idea to reach down and grab an armful of broken glass before I can say anything. He immediately drops it all again screaming, with blood dripping all down his arms.

"Dez!", I exclaimed. He was bleeding an awful lot, and there were pieces of glass sticking out of his arms.

"Maddie, please come in here! Ella, stay in the living room! Do not come in the kitchen!", I yelled.

"Okay!", they both yelled back.

"Dez! Oh my-what did I tell you about touching broken glass!?", Maddie said seeing all the glass and shuttering slightly at the sight of his blood. Suddenly Trish appeared out of nowhere.

"Let's get this party st-Dez!", she gasped when she entered the kitchen. "What on Earth happened to you!?"

"I'll explain later. Dez, you go with Maddie and Trish to get cleaned up while I pick up all of this", I said sighing. Right after they all left, I heard a scream coming from upstairs. Without thinking, I ran right through the glass, cutting my feet and legs up pretty badly in the process. Not to mention I fell flat on my face, and was an even bloodier mess than Dez, but I kept running to the source of the scream, because it sounded much like Austin's (slightly girly) high pitched scream.

"Austin, what's wrong!?", I asked running into a room, only to find it filled with many exotic animals. "Where di d all these animals come from?"

"Well, I'm pretty sure Dez had something to d-", he started, but stopped mid-sentence when e saw me. "Ally, What happened to you!? You're a bloody mess, and there's broken glass all in your skin!

"Austin, I'm fine. I tripped and fell on a bunch of broken glass in the kitchen when I ran up here to see why you were screaming", I explained.

"I'm taking you to the hospital", he said picking me up bridal style and shutting the door so all those animals wouldn't escape.

"Austin", I whined.

"No Ally, we're going to the hospital. Your cuts are really deep, and there's glass dug very deep into your skin", he said clearly not backing down.

"Fine, but Dez had glass in his skin too. Please go check on him first", I said. He nodded and set me down on the steps while running to go get Dez, Maddie, and Trish.

Right now, my head is killing me, I'm all dizzy, and I'm so…s-so…tired. Before I knew it, I had drifted off to sleep.

Hey everybody. Was it okay? I really don't care if you all don't like this chapter, because this is what I wanted to happen, and that's all that matters to me.
