I found out soon how wrong I was. Aubrey was being a full swing baby. I woke up to cries at 1 and ran over to her room to find her wet and hungry. Taking care of the diaper I sit in the chair in the corner and start to feed her. When she is done I burp her and am rocking her to sleep. I see a shadow and look up to see Austin in the doorway rubbing his eyes. "Why are you in here?" I just shake my head, "She woke up." He looks down and walks in, "Is everything taken care of?" I nod and get up to put her in bed and fall back asleep.

I felt like I was just falling asleep when Austin's alarm goes off. He doesn't move and I get mad. I slap his good arm, "Austin get up." He murmurs and rolls back over. I sit up mad, "Austin, get up now. If you wake Aubrey up I swear to god…" "Ally chill, I am up okay." He gets up and angrily walks to the bathroom while I crawl back under the covers and get comfy. I was falling back asleep when I hear cries again. Sighing I throw on my robe and rush to Aubrey's room to pick her up. "Baby girl, what is wrong?" I rock her while checking her. I see she needs her diaper changed and start on that. I am throwing the old diaper away with her in my arm when I hear Austin cussing in our bedroom. I make my way to our room but turn and head down the stairs. "How is mommy's baby girl? Goo goo gah gah." I laugh at myself while I walk around with Aubrey in the crook of my arm.. I hear a whistle and turn around to see Austin in the doorway. "Barefoot and with a baby on your hip. Isn't that a song or something?" I turn around and grab the cereal box and sit it on the table before walking back to the fridge. "Come here baby. Let daddy see you." I smile and walk over so he can grab Aubrey. He is tickling her tummy and all my anger from him has disappeared. I know I just need some good sleep. I am tired and between him and Aubrey I didn't get any sleep last night. I go and sit down on the couch sighing.

Austin walks in later and hands me Aubrey before bending and kissing my lips. "I have to go. You will be okay right?" I nod and he smiles giving Aubrey a kiss on the cheek before leaving. "It's just me and you baby girl." I watch tv while holding her and then she starts to scream. I look down and check her but she is fine. I figure she is hungry and pull out my breast so she can eat. When she stops I burp her and start to play with her for a little bit.

I put her down in her crib when she fell asleep again and am cleaning the house. After an hour I hear cries again. "Really?" I get upstairs and turn the light on, "Baby girl, you are killing mommy today." I change her diaper and rock her back to sleep. I finish cleaning and am sitting down when she cries again. "Baby's are normally not this hard." I remember babysitting and it was never like this. I walk in and find her just staring at the ceiling. "Are you ready to get up?" I walk downstairs with her and start to watch and episode of Law And Order SVU. I hear a knock at the door and open it up to see Alex. "Hey Alex, What are you doing here?" he looks down and back up at me, "Um how about I come in and you go change. I look down and see I am still in my robe. "Will you take Aubrey for a second?" he nods and I rush upstairs to throw on a pair of sweats and a tank top. I rush back down after brushing my teeth and pulling my hair into a bun. I see Alex on the couch laughing. "Thank you so much Alex." He looks up, "No problem. At least you were dressed this time." We both laugh and Aubrey gurgles. "So why are you here again?" he smiles and turns toward me, "Oh, I was going out for lunch but I decided to come check on you when I seen Austin was at school. So, how have you been?" "I have been okay. She is amazing and I love her but I haven't got any sleep and she is running me like crazy." He laughs, How about I run to the restaurant on the corner and bring back food and when I get back you can get a shower. I moan in content, "That sounds amazing. You don't mind." He shakes his head kissing my cheek. "Be back in a minute."

I was getting drinks out of the fridge but I had to make multiple attempts because when I put Aubrey down she would cry. I turned on her rocker and put her in the seat and she loved it. I was back into the living room when the doorbell rang. I walk over and open it, "You could have just came in." he laughs and walks over to the table bringing out spaghetti and salad. "I hope this is okay." I nod and start to eat. When I finish I see he has to be back to school in ten minutes. "I guess you should go." He shakes his head, "Nope, go get your shower. I will watch Aubrey then when you are done I will leave." I kiss his cheek, "thank you so much Alex. This means a lot." I walk upstairs to my room and shower.

When I get out I smile. I feel a thousand times better. I through on a pair of yoga pants and muscle shirt and pull my hair into a pony tail. I walk down the stairs so happy. I see Alex in the floor holding Aubrey above his head. I walk over and stand at the top of his head looking down smiling. Jumping up with Aubrey in his arm he smiles. "You look like you are happier. " "I am thank you." He smiles. We look at the time and he sighs. "I should be going." I nod and he gives me Aubrey after kissing her cheek. "Call me if you need anything." I nod and walk him to the door. He kisses my cheek before leaving.

As soon as I close the door she cries. I sigh and look down and see she is hungry and needs a diaper change. I decide to give her a little bath like the hospital showed me and dress her cute. I find an outfit my dad bought her and put it on. She is wearing a cute pink onesie with white dots on it and I put a pair on white pants on over it. I find a cute pair of socks that look like shoes and put them on too. I take her downstairs and put her in her car seat. I grab her blanket and put it over her and grab her and my keys. Locking the door I put her in the car I drive over to my dad's store. I walk in and see he is flustered. "You okay dad?" He smiles when he see's us and runs over taking Aubrey out of her seat but leaving her bag and everything else with me. I sit it behind the counter and walk over to dad as he sits at the piano. Is it down and start to play a medley.

"Honey, I love that you are here but why?" Sighing I turn towards him, "I don't know. I was bored and I didn't want to be alone." He nods and hands me back Aubrey. "I have to get back to work but honey just let me know when you need a break and I will take her for a night or day. You need days to yourself." I nod, "I know but school is almost over then I start back for my senior year." He laughs and kisses our foreheads and helps me get her back to the car. "Bye sweetie." "Bye daddy."

I decide to take Aubrey to see her grandma and am rushed as soon as I pull into the driveway. "Oh where is my grandbaby?" I laugh, "She is in the back." I get a quick hug while Austin's mom grabs Aubrey and I grab her bag and follow them inside. "Ally, honey what's wrong?" "Nothing, I just didn't want to be alone." We sit down and she smiles and tickles Aubrey. "Honey, you can come by anytime. Just remember this is all new and it will be different and weird. "I nod, "This is just strange and she has had me running like crazier today." She laughs, "Sweetie, this is a good baby. Today is probably just a off day. She seems like a baby who doesn't cry a lot so she must not be feeling too well today is all." I smile and we talk small talk for a while. I look over at the time and realize I have been her for hours. " Mrs. Moon, I think I should go." She nods and helps me take Aubrey who is asleep to the car. Before I get in she pulls me into a hug, "It will be okay. I promise. It will just take a little bit to get use to parenthood." I smile and get into the car and drive home. I stopped and grabbed hamburgers from five guys. I pull in and see Austin's car. I grab a still sleeping Aubrey and diaper bag and throw my keys in her bag and grab the bag with the burgers in it. I get to the door and have to set Aubrey down before I can open the door. I close the door with my leg slowly. I hear footsteps running down the steps and pray he doesn't wake her up. "Ally, where have you been? I was so scared. Is everything okay?" I slowly set Aubrey down and sigh, "Please be quiet. We finally got her asleep. I went to see my dad then your mom. Alex came by and I liked the company so I went to hang out with someone." He is following me to the kitchen where I set the bag of food down "Wait, Alex came over?" I turn back around, "Yeah, he came over to check on me. I was able to get a shower and eat lunch because of him being here." He scowls, "I don't like him being here." I turn around angry, "I will not deal with this." I walk closer to him, my blood boiling. "Alex is a friend who came and helped me when I was having a horrible day. He is welcome here anytime and in case you forgot this is my house. He has did nothing but be nice and me and I will not let you or anyone be mean to him. Got it?" I turn and grab my burger and Aubrey before going to my room and closing the door.

I take Aubrey out of her seat and lay her on the bed beside me and put pillows around her so she doesn't fall off the bed. I eat my burger and get into pj's before turning on a movie and laying down. Austin peaks in and smiles, "Can I come in?" I nod. "I am sorry. I just got mad when I found out he was here." I sit up, "You have to realize Aubrey loves him and loves to play with him. He helped me and he cares for all of us." He looks mad but whispers yells, "HE HAD AUBREY?" I look confused, "yeah, how else would I get a shower." He paces the room, " I do not like this. She is my daughter and I don't like him. I don't want him near her." I stand up and pull him into the closet. "Listen here Austin. I don't know what is going on since we got home but I will not take this. You will either support me and Aubrey or you will leave. Alex has done nothing but help me and he would never let anything happen to Aubrey. Now I think you should sleep in the guest room tonight." He pulls me to him before I can leave, "I want to sleep with you." I pull away, "I have Aubrey tonight. Sorry but you are being a ass and I don't like you like this."
