Great chapter. Is the Dallas that was an abuser the same Dallas ally was in love with? I hope the kids are OK

To: 2007gracee (guest)

Thanks. I am hoping to clear that all up in the next couple of chapters. Ally and Austin might have a flashback.

From: R5Auslly

Chapter 23

Oh no...that stupid Dallas

To: R5Auslly

LOL. I was basically thinking that same thing when writing it. In the show, I was always picturing him as a 'bad' guy.

From: Guest

OMG HURRY UP AN UPDATE!

To: Guest

I am! I'm currently doing it now! LOL just kidding.

Um, as usual, I don't own Austin And Ally or anything else you may recognize. I forgot to mention in the last chapter, that the song Austin sang was called Safe And Sound by Taylor Swift. Also, the saying about the 'moose' and 'muse' thing is from Glee. RIP Cory! Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chappie and please Review. Thanks!

Chapter 24

Austin POV

I put the letter in pocket and continue to search the downstairs. I find nothing, and walk upstairs into Acton's room. I sigh, and sit in the rocking chair and just look around. The room seemed so alive, yet so...abandoned. I run my fingers through my hair and a tear falls from my eye. I shake my head and stand up, walking into Adalyn's room. I stand in front of her crib and just, look in. I pick up her blanket and run my hands through it. Just then, an object falls onto the mattress. I raise my eyebrows and suspiciously pick it up. Instantly, I feel the weight on my shoulders just got heavier. There is a piece of paper folded. I unfolded it and tears form in my eyes. There, was a picture of Adalyn and Acton. There was a caption.

Their Safe And Sound.

I pocket the photo and walk back to my room. Ally lays, not quite awake, but not asleep. I walk into our bathroom and put my pajamas on. I brush my teeth and climb into bed next to Ally. Instantly, she turns and cuddles into me. I brush my hand through her hair and kiss her forehead. She sighs. "Their safe, Ally. I know they are." I whisper. She slowly nods. "Go to sleep." I say kissing her.

LINE BREAK

The next morning, I wake up and Ally isn't in bed. I look around, and don't find her in our room. I walk downstairs, but don't find her anywhere. I hear light music, and instantly know where she is. I walk into the Practice Room. I slightly smile when I see her on the piano playing a piece that I don't recognize. I walk up to her and wrap my arms around her. She slightly jumps, but then smiles. "Hey." I say. She leans her head to kiss me. "Hi." I look over to her book. "What are you doing?" She shrugs. "Writing a song." I smile. "What about?" I ask. Her smile slowly fades. "How about I show you instead of tell you." She says. I nod and sit on the piano bench to her. She starts to play a beautiful melody. She closes her eyes.

In my daughter's eyes, I am a hero,

I am strong and wise,

And I know no fear, But the truth is plain to see,

She was sent to rescue me,

I see who I want to be, In my daughter's eyes, I smile. She sings and plays just as beautiful as the song is.

In my daughter's eyes,

Everyone is equal,

Darkness turns to light,

And the world is at peace,

This miracle god gave to me,

Gives me strength when I am weak,

I find reason to believe, In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand around my finger,

How it puts a smile in my heart,

Everything becomes a little clearer,

I realize what life is all about,

It's hanging on when your heart is had enough,

It's giving more when you feel like giving up,

I've seen the light, It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes,

I can see the future,

A reflection of who I am and what will be,

And though she'll grow and someday leave,

Maybe raise a family,

When i'm gone I hope you see,

How happy she made me, For i'll be there, In my daughter's eyes

I smile and hug her. "That was amazing, Alls." She nods. "Thank you." She says quietly. "How did you come up with it all?" She slightly smiles. "My mom used to say some of those words to me when I was little. The other words I came up with myself." I kiss her. "I love it." She looks at her book. "I don't have anything to write about Acton with." I shake my head. "That's alright. We love them both the same." She nods. "So, what do you want to do today?" I ask her, taking her hand and leading her out the room. She shrugs. "I don't know." She says, walking into the living room. I lift her up. She squeals. "Austin! What are you doing!" She says, having a laughing fit. I chuckle and carry her out to my car. I open the Passenger Seat door and slide her in. I close her door and run to my side and quickly turn the car on and drive out. "Do you mind telling me where we're going, Mister?" She asks. I shake my head. "You need to get out of the house. Hey, you know what's coming up soon?" She shrugs. "Your birthday, silly!" She rolls her eyes. "I know that." I smirk and stick my tongue out at her. "Boo you then." She slightly giggles. "So, what do you want for your birthday?" She looks out her window. "My kids." She says quietly. "You and me married. Us happy" She adds. I sigh. "It will happen. All of that." I take her hand and kiss her palm. "Just take it one step at a time." I assure her. Suddenly, I get a phone call. I sigh, and pick my phone up and answer it. "Hello?" I say. "Hello? Is this Austin?" A women voice said. "Yes..." I say really slow. "It's Jessica." I smile really big. "Really?! What's up? Please give me some good news. I could really use some of that." I say. Ally turns her head to face me and furrows her eyebrows. "Well, for one, Adalyn and Acton are, like, for real acting up. Dallas is going crazy. He wants me to bring them back." My smile grows. "Are you being for real?" I say. She laughs. "Yes. Dallas is aggravated. I was told to bring them back to you right now." I laugh and squeeze Ally's hand. "Oh my god, this is amazing! Thank you SO much!" She sighs. "Your welcome. One more thing?" "Yeah, anything." I hear her sigh again. "I don't think he's done with his plan. You know, the plan with Ally? I think he's trying to find another way to get her." I sigh. "Thanks for warning me. When do you think your going to be here?" I hear crying in the background and I smile. Those are my kids. "Sorry, Acton dropped his binky. Um, well we are only like twenty minutes away from your house. Do you want me to come over now?" I smile. "Yes, please! Your a lifesaver. I don't know how many times I can thank you." She laughs. "You don't need to. So, the police won't arrest me will they?" She sounded scared. "No, they shouldn't." I hear her take a deep breath. "Okay, well I'll be there soon." I laugh. "Okay. See you." I hang up the phone and look at Ally. "Who was that? What's going on?" She says, her arms crossed. I roll my eyes and turn the car around, heading back home. "That was Jessica." Her eyes widen. "What did that freak want?" She says rudely. "Relax. She's bringing the kids home." She looks at me disapprovingly. "Yeah, right. What person kidnaps just to bring them home not even twenty- four hours later?" I take the note out of my pocket and hand it to her to read. "That kind of person." I say. I see her read the letter and her eyes widen. "Oh my- That's- Wow." She stutters. I laugh and nod. "She's been through a lot of crap lately." I say. Ally nods. "So, she's bringing them home?" She says, hope visible in her tone of voice. I smile. "Yes. She's bringing them home."

Author's Note:

Hey guys! Sorry I ended it where I did. I WILL update soon though! I got my laptop back, and fixed! So, now I can update a lot more than I have been! I hope you liked this! The song mentioned is called In My Daughter's Eyes, by Martina Mcbride. My mom used to sing this to me all the time, so I thought that this would be pretty appropriate for the situation. Please Review! Thanks!

I love you, Lovelies!
