I don't own Austin & Ally
Dez's POV
"Oh Dezzy, I'm so glad you're home!", Brenda squealed. I rolled my eyes.
"Do not call me that, and this will never be my home", I said seriously. Most people laugh when they hear my name and 'serious' in the same sentence, but this is most definitely not a joke.
"Don't talk to your mother that way", Adam said angrily.
"She's not my mother", I muttered, in the same tone. I know they heard me, but Brenda made Adam sit down when he was about to launch at me.
"Let's just leave him alone. Maybe a little quality time with his baby sister will do him some good", Brenda whispered. Adam nodded angrily and they both left the room, leaving me alone with this poor little baby that's only about a week old. That's just weird that we're so many years apart. I mean, I'm twenty-four, and she's a week old. That's ridiculous.
I was serious about what I said when I told them that Brenda chick would never be my mother. I miss Mimi; she's my real mother! When I think back to all the years she took care of me, bought me Christmas and birthday presents, loved me; it just makes me so upset knowing that she did all that for me and I never told her how much I appreciated it. I never called her mom, and I regret that with all my heart. The same goes for Mike; he's always been my father. They both always treated me like their own son. Austin would always introduce me to people as his brother/best friend. In our minds though, there was never a difference because we've always been both to each other. Mike and Mimi always treated both of us exactly the same, and it never bothered Austin. Wherever they took Austin for family things, they took me too. Whatever Mike would try to teach Austin for father/son things, he would teach me too. When we were in high school, Mimi wanted to tell us all about girls. She would tell us both all the same things. It was like I was really their son, and I realize just now that I am. I am Mike and Mimi Moon's son, Austin Moon's brother, and Maddie's big brother!
I suppose I have another little sister now, but she just doesn't feel like a sister to me. I know I love this little baby with all my heart, but she just doesn't feel like a sister. I don't get it, but that's how I feel. She's the most adorable baby I've ever seen, and I'd protect her with my life, but I don't know what it is. Bri just doesn't feel like a sister to me. I know she is biologically, but not in my heart. It feels more like I'm connected to her the way I am with Ella. She's just too young to be my sister. That's not the reason I feel this way, but I know in my heart she is not my sister. Maddie and Ally are my sisters, but Bri, not so much. Okay, I'm done making it sound like I don't love this precious little angel, because I do. I love her so much, and I could tell Trish did too. Oh Trish…
I really hope Trish is okay. She looked so scared and distant when I saw her walk through the door of the Bentley's vacation house. She was holding onto Bri tightly, instead of Brenda, which I thought was a little weird, and she just looked so scared. I just wanted to hold her so she would feel safe, but one wrong move and they would've shot somebody. I about died myself when they held that gun to…gulp…Trish's head. That was when I thought I was going to lose her forever. As that thought sunk in, my heart shattered. I don't know what I'd do without my Trish. She's my world!
"Dezzy, do you like us yet?", Brenda asked from outside the door. I rolled my eyes. Maybe she's the reason for my low IQ. At least I know I'm smarter than her.
"No, and I never will!", I yelled, causing Bri to start screaming. I sighed. What was it Ally did to get Maddie to stop crying that day at the orphanage? Oh yeah, she sang to her! Amazing Grace! I would do that, but I'd probably scare her to death.
"Man, I wish I had my gingerbread friends here; they'd help think of a way to calm you down", I said, then realized she was quieting down a little. What?
"You like that? Then you'll just love my kangaroo", I said, and she actually started laughing. Wow, who knew a week old little girl could find that funny. They're usually more visual.
"Wow, you'll have a lot of fun with this family when we get out of here", I said laughing along with her. I plan to keep that promise. We will get out of here, and this little girl will be with me.
Ally's POV
When Elliot and Ella left, I was left alone with Samantha, Tina, Max, Penny, and Lester. This is just great! (Note my sarcasm)
"So Ally", Penny started. I just had my arms crossed, staring at her while acting bored to death. "How did you do in school?" I scoffed.
"She was a major nerd", Samantha laughed. I just rolled my eyes. She never changed.
"Oh yeah, I did just fine in school. I can't say the same for little miss drop out who had failed two years before she got herself pregnant", I remarked. Sam cut me an evil look; like I care.
"Well, uh that's interesting. How about interests?", Penny asked. Goodness, when is this torture going to be over?
"My daughter", I said.
"She is not your daughter", Sam seethed through gritted teeth.
"Whatever; there's also my husband", I said. I'm doing this to make them all mad, and I know it's working from the looks on their faces.
"You're married!?", Lester said angrily.
"Yeah, what's it to you?", I asked.
"I'm your father, so it's everything to me. That little brat has no right to take advantage of my child like that just for-"
"Lester! Don't talk to the poor girl like that. I'm sure she loves the boy, whoever it is-", Penny started, but I cut her off.
"It's Austin."
"I'll kill that kid", Lester said standing up, me following in suit.
"Don't touch him!", I yelled. That's when Elliot and Ella walked back in.
"You're lucky they're back", Lester muttered, sitting back in his seat.
"Aunt Ally, did you, mom, and my grandparents have a nice talk?", Ella asked. We were all surprised, but everyone was smiling besides me.
"Elliot, what did you do to her?", I asked my brother. I know for a fact my daughter would never say something like that without good cause.
"I didn't do anything to her. She just realized the truth while we were out there", Elliot said. I looked over to Ella who was avoiding any eye contact with me. Hmm, that's suspicious…
"How nice", I lied right through my teeth. It's not nice! That jerk brainwashed my daughter after he basically forced me to raise her! I love her with all my heart, and she promised that I'd always be her Mommy!
"Mom, how have you been these past few months?", Ella asked. I cringed, but the weird thing is that she never says 'Mom', she always says 'Mommy'.
"I've been in jail because of your stupid aunt", Sam retorted. I could see something flash through Ella's eyes, but it was gone as quickly as it appeared.
"That's too bad Mom; jail doesn't sound too fun", Ella said. This is getting weird.
"It's not", Sam said rudely. You'd think she'd at least pretend to be nice to her, you know, to make sure she will still be on their side; though I don't know if she really is quite yet.
"Well don't blame Aunt Ally; she was in the hospital", Ella said, her voice raising a little. I could see Elliot shaking his head at her a little. What? "You shouldn't blame anyone. I mean, it was more the cops' faults for taking you in, but they were just doing their jobs."
"Yeah, whatever", Sam said rolling her eyes. Ella sighed and turned to Elliot.
"Dad, do you have any juice here?", she asked. He shook his head. Wait-she just called Elliot 'Dad'. She always says 'Daddy', even when she was referring to Elliot. Something's not right here. She also would say 'Mommy' instead of 'Mom', yet she's saying both of those now.
"Ella, I'm your mother. You said I'd always be your Mommy", I said, trying hard not to cry. This is kind of an act just to see how Ella would react, but I do feel like crying.
"N-No, she's my mom", Ella said pointing to a smirking Samantha.
"E-Ella", I said, pretending that I was about to break down, but I might not be far from it. I could see the same look in Ella's eyes, but hers seemed honest.
"Thank you for taking care of me for a while Aunt Ally, but I have my…real family now. I don't need you to be my mom anymore, but you're still my aunt. Aunts are fun, and they give good Christmas and birthday presents", Ella said. Wow, that sounded really convincing…if I didn't hear her say 'Mom'. If she didn't say that, and said 'Mommy', I might have just believed her. I could also see the pain in her eyes. And she knows that Christmas isn't about the presents too.
"Where's the restroom?", I asked, pretending I'd have to leave the room before I burst into tears.
"Yeah, I gotta go too", Ella said.
"Oh Ally, I'm far too tired to take her. Since you're already going, why don't you take her to the potty like a good aunt would?", Sam suggested.
"Of course, I'd be honored to have this little bit of time with my…niece", I said, trying to look saddened to be taking her to the bathroom. Really, I'm happy to do this.
"Third door on the right", Elliot said as Ella and I walked out the door. I'm surprised they were that stupid. They didn't even send someone to eavesdrop on our conversation.
"Alright Ella, spill it", I said as soon as I shut the door. She couldn't hold her tears anymore, and just started balling her eyes out.
"Mommy!", she cried, hugging me tightly. I smiled and hugged her just as tight.
"I knew it", I said sighing in relief.
"Mommy, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean any of that! Uncle Elliot told me to pretend so he could help us get out, and at first I didn't believe him, but then he-", Ella started to ramble, but I just started crying. I feel bad about it, but I just couldn't hold it in any longer. "MOMMY! Are you okay!?"
"I'm f-fine baby. I-I'm just s-so emotional right n-now", I said. Stupid hormones!
"Because of the babies? This isn't good for them is it?", she asked, looking worried. "And if it's not good for them, then it's not good for you either!"
"Baby girl, don't you worry about me. I want you to do exactly what your Uncle Elliot told you to do for now, and I'll play along with you. I don't know why you're going along with this, but we really don't have time to talk about it before they get suspicious, so I'll just have to trust you on this one. You're my little girl no matter what anyone says or does, and don't you forget that", I said hugging her again.
"I love you Mommy! If I say anything in there that makes you sad, I promise I don't mean it. Uncle Elliot was wrong when he said I learned the truth, because it isn't the truth, but he's just pretending too. I'm not really supposed to tell you this, but I couldn't let you be sad anymore. I'm not allowed to tell Daddy, Aunt Trish, Uncle Dez, Maddie, or anyone else! This is going to be hard", she cried.
"I know baby, and I love you too but you really have to do this. You already started it, so you have to finish it so they don't get mad okay?", I asked. She nodded. "Okay, let's go back"
"Wait", she said. I turned around confused, only to see her wetting her hands. She then trailed tear marks down my face, and left her hands the way they were, wet, to look like a five year old really did just go to the bathroom.
"Smart thinking sweetie", I said smiling. She nodded, smiling proudly at herself.
"Okay, we're about to go back inside. Look sad", she commanded. That's not going to be hard while I'm here.
"Awe, is whittle Ally crying because she can't play Mommy anymore?", Sam asked in a baby voice as soon as I walked through the door. Seriously? Can't she tell I'm pregnant; with twins?
"Yeah, yeah, you won Sam. Stop rubbing it in", I said.
"Can I call you guys Grandma and Grandpa?", Ella asked Penny and Lester. Obviously Elliot told her to do that too.
"Oh of course you can!", Penny gushed. It sickens me really.
"See Ally, your niece accepts us; why can't you?", Lester asked me. I just glared at him.
"I'm not a gullible five year old", I retorted, even though I know Ella is anything but gullible.
"So now you're insulting my daughter?", Sam asked.
"Stay out of this Sam. You already won Ella, and this is none of your business", I snapped.
"Elliot, how could you possibly stand dealing with that for so long?", she asked turning her nose up in disgust at me. I scoffed. She has no right to say that about anyone when she's the way she is.
"She fooled me baby. I never knew what was real until I met you", he said. Oh gag me!
"Awe, how sweet!", Sam said in a sickeningly sweet voice. That's just like dragging a cat down a chalkboard for me. It made me want to puke when she kissed his cheek.
"You sure made it easy with that low IQ of yours. I'm surprised you were able to escape jail when you aren't even smart enough to make a microwave pizza", I remarked to my brother.
"Hey!", Elliot exclaimed offended. Well he's the one that wanted us to pretend like this…
"Poor big brother", I said pouting, when I suddenly feel a sharp pain on my wrist.
"Ow!", I exclaimed, looking down at Lester's hand gripped tightly around my wrist. I could see that I startled Ella, but it really hurt.
"Don't talk to your brother like that", he spat. And he wonders why I don't want to be related to him. I was literally about to cry out in pain. I hope this doesn't hurt the babies…
"Daddy, you're hurting me", I gasped out, unable to even hear my own words. He immediately let go of me smirking. "What?", I asked, holding my injured wrist.
"You just called me Daddy", he said victoriously. I didn't respond. I didn't want to respond. I just held onto my stomach in hopes that both of my babies would make it out of here alright. I honestly wouldn't care if I got hurt, but I can't while I'm pregnant. If I die, so do my babies and I will not let that happen. I only called him that so he'd let go.
"Honey, does your stomach hurt? You keep holding it like you have an ache", Penny said sounding worried. Yeah right.
"Really? I didn't notice", I said sarcastically.
"Really sweetheart, what's wrong?", she asked.
"Grandma, don't be silly. All pregnant women hold their tummies", Ella said, pretending to think it was funny. I could see her roll her eyes afterwards though. Ha!
"YOU'RE PREGNANT!?" everyone (except Ella) yelled.
"Yes…I figured you guys would've known that"
"Then we're all good! You can just replace that fake motherhood you had with Ella with a real one with a kid you're actually having", Samantha said. You have no idea how angry that one statement made me. I could see pain in Ella's eyes, and it made tears spring to mine.
"Excuse me", I said running to the bathroom where I just started puking. I'm pregnant, I have morning sickness, and this stress is not helping the situation at all.
"Are you okay?", a small voice asked. I looked up to see the little boy with Maddie's last name (and her eyes) standing in the doorway that was left wide open by mistake.
"Yeah", I said weakly.
"You don't look okay. Did you just throw up?", he asked. I nodded a little. "That doesn't sound good. Did they hurt you that badly?"
"No sweetie, it's just that I'm pregnant. We do that a lot", I said. He nodded understandingly.
"Oh, okay. Please be careful though. Those people are very dangerous and you want to keep your baby safe", he said. I smiled a little.
"I'm having twins. Thanks for the advice buddy. If you see Maddie, will you tell her that Ally said everything will be alright?", I asked.
"Yeah, but I think she's okay. I just came out here to use the bathroom. She was in there going off at our birth parents. She just doesn't look scared at all which is weird for her", the kid said.
"Really? That doesn't sound like her at all", I said. Aiden shook his head.
"I think she hit her breaking point. She just snapped at them, and she has a comeback to everything they say. She was never like that when they hurt her at the orphanage; just when they tried to hurt us kids", he said.
"Wait, what? She stood up to them whenever they tried to hurt any of you?", I asked. He nodded.
"Yeah, if she was there to protect us (which she normally was) she would take the beatings they were about to give any of us instead", he said. Wow, she had it way worse than I ever did!
"Okay Aiden, just be careful", I said. He nodded sadly and walked through the door of the bathroom. I sighed. That poor kid. I guess it's time to face the music…
Hey guys! I hope you liked this chapter. I don't think this drama thing will last for too much longer, maybe a few chapters, so I'll just keep you guys on the edge of your seats a little bit longer. Please read, review, follow, and favorite!
God bless you all!
