I am staring at her waiting for her reaction. I see her mouth move and then, "What the hell Austin." I look down some and watch her out of the corner of my eye. She laughs angrily and I sigh knowing this is not gonna be an easy night. "Austin Monica Moon, look at me!" I turn my head to her and look at the anger and betrayal in her eyes. "You invited her to OUR daughter's birthday party? The person you cheated on me with? The person who I thought was taking everything from me? How could you do that?" I lift my head and watch as she shakes her head. I know she is mad but what can I do? I grab her hands and make her look at me. "Ally, I am so sorry. She has been being so nice the last couple nights and I thought…" "Wait?! You have been talking to her behind my back?!" I sigh and look down before looking back up, "Ally, Listen to me. Yes, she talked to me but just as a friend to tell me if I need anything then she is there. Nothing is going on with me and Brooke. I love you and want only you. I called and asked Brooke and she wanted to decline because of everything that happened. Ally, she said she wants to make a good impression to change the one everyone has. Don't be mad at me and please I want a princess for my princess and she is the best I can come up with."
She shakes her head for awhile and looks between me and the wall, "Do you understand how this makes me feel? Imagine me inviting Alex over here, how would you feel?" I look down. I know how I would feel. I would feel like crap. I would think she didn't want me and that something was going on. I would feel like my world was coming down around me and I was losing everything. I grab her hands and make her look at me, "Ally, Let's invite Alex. Maybe those two will hit it off. That way we can both give them another chance and we can both feel a little better knowing that both of the people we don't like will be there. Both people we feel will take everything from us."
Looking down I see her playing with her hands then she looks up and sighs, "Fine, But so help me god if anything happens Austin, there will be no more chances. I will be done." I smile and pull her to me and kiss her cheek, "Trust me baby nothing will happen. I love you so much. I am not stupid enough to screw that up." She smiles and lays down, "You better hope so." I laugh and lay with her while I watch her thinking everything over. I hope she doesn't have doubts about me. I love Ally to death, I realize how important she is to me and I don't want to do anything to mess that up. I won't do anything to mess this up. I plan on us getting married and having more kids, I want that to happen so badly. I can honestly say without Alex, I probably would not realize how special Ally is to me.
I move closer to her and kiss her lips, "I love you so much baby." She turns and smiles at me. "When can you get your cast off?" I laugh and look over at the casts on my leg and arm, "I go to the doctor tomorrow morning." She smiles, "well let's get to sleep then." I laugh as she turns over and starts to go to bed.
I wake up the next morning to an Ally running around our room and talking to herself. I sit up and start laughing. She stops and turns to me and smiles, "Good morning, now can you come on. We are running late, I just know it. You need a shower and to get dressed. However I can't help you shower because I need to get Aubrey ready. So we are gonna get you dressed and showered later." I just stare at her in amazement. Even when she freaks out, everything is in order and in control. She claps her hands at me, "Let's go laughing boy."
She walks over to me and gets me dressed and helps me get downstairs. I am on the couch while she runs back upstairs. A couple minutes later she is back down and Aubrey is in her car seat asleep. "Austin, can you walk to the car with your crutches?" I nod and we start off to the car.
Ally is driving like a mad man and she has bad road rage today. I have never seen her like this, I am actually freaked out. She pulls into the driveway mumbling to her. She gets out of the car helps me out and I lean on the car while she grabs the car seat. With the car seat in one hand and the diaper bag on her shoulder she puts her other hand around my waist and we go into the doctor's office.
We are in the waiting room and I hate this. Aubrey is still asleep. I hate waiting, I want to get up and pace but that would not work so well. I turn to Ally but she is sucked up in whatever book she is reading. Ugh, why couldn't I actually like to read at a time like this? I grab my phone out but of course there is nothing to do. No normal person is up this early on the weekend. Finally I see a nurse come out and hope she calls my name. "Austin Moon?" I get up and hobble to the door after kissing Ally on the cheek. She smiles at me and goes back to her book and I shake my head and follow the nurse.
ALLY'S POV…
I watch Austin go back in the room and I get back to my book. I am in such a good part. I feel a tap on my shoulder and I turn to this young looking woman and smile at her, "Hello?" she smiles a warm smile and looks at Aubrey in the car seat. "She is just so adorable. I wanted to tell you." I smile, "Well, thank you." She looks back at Aubrey then at me, "SO nice of you to babysit on the weekend." I look at Aubrey and then this lady and I shake my head, "Actually, she is mine." She looks at me and smiles even more, "That's great. You seem like a good mom and I like seeing that." I look down and she notices, "Hey, don't be embarrassed. They want that. All of the looks and mumbling, you can't let that get to you. So what you are young, look at it like this, yes you had a baby young but that just means you have longer time to spend with her and love her."
I smile up at her, "Thank you, that is really good advice. I never thought of it like that. Do you mind me asking why you are giving me advice though?" She shakes her head, "I was a teen mom too. I went through it and it was not as common then. I love my son just as much as my daughter but my son is special to me because he made me grow up and realize I had to care for someone and be careful. I am grateful for all the stares and everything now because it made me stronger. I was a good mom and the only thing they saw was a 15 year old with a baby."
I look at her shocked, "You were only 15?" she nods, "Yep, my boyfriend said her loved me and convinced me we were the perfect couple. We talked about marriage and everything. I thought we really loved each other so I gave him everything and he changed his mind. I was a single mom for awhile. Everyone at school treated me like I had the plague. "She laughs a little and I feel drawn to this woman. I want to know more. "What happened? How did you handle it? I never could have been a single mom." She laughs again, "Honey, I thought I couldn't either. I planned on giving him up for adoption but I feel in love with him and when I saw him I feel even more. I took care of him and worked while also going to high school. My mom let me stay with her but she wouldn't help at all. When I was 17 I moved out and got my own place. It was harder but I made it work. I wanted a good life. I met a boy at 20 who I adored. I was too embarrassed to tell him I had a kid so I hid it. Something came up and I had to rush home and I told him because we were on a date. He understood and took me home and actually he took me to the hospital with him and stayed until he went home. He was so caring and sweet. After being together for a few years I got pregnant again. He was so happy, we got married. He is now my husband. My son is now 13 and my daughter is now 6. I wouldn't change what happened all those years ago for nothing. My son was a blessing. Others think he was a mistake but if he is he is my best mistake." I smile at her and look down to my daughter. "I am lucky huh. I got a boyfriend who cares. A daughter which I adore. I still go to school. I have so much love and support. Even though the miscarriages my family has been there through it all." She smiles at me and puts her hand on mine, "Honey, that is amazing. I tell my story when I find out people are embarrassed of their kid because they are young. Honey, be proud." I smile and hug her, "You helped me so much. Thank you. I will be proud trust me." She smiles and gets up as the nurse calls her.
I am in thought when I see Austin standing in front of me. "Hey, what are you thinking about?" I look at him and smile, "This lady told me her story where she was a single mom at 15 and how she was treated and everything. She told me about how she looks back on it now and wouldn't change a thing because it was the best that ever happened to her." He looks at the door and smiles, "Well, that's great. So you feel good?" I nod and stand up and see Austin is standing without a cast. I look up shocked, "Your free?" he laughs, "Not yet." He holds up his arm and it still has a cast. "But he said come back in a week and I should be able to get this boot off and the cast off my arm." I look down and see a boot but he can walk. I hug him tight and he wraps his good arm around me.
We are walking out to the car when Austin starts to laugh, "You are so amazing you know that?" I look over to him confused. "What?" "You were with me through all this." I laugh and get in the car.
We are at the house and sitting on the couch while Aubrey plays. "Austin maybe this will be good for her to have a princess. She loves them and she loves Alex. Hopefully everything goes good. He looks at me and smile putting his arm over my shoulder, "It's a one year olds birthday party, what could go wrong I look back at Aubrey and sigh, "Yeah, your right."
I am sooooo sorry for the long wait. It has been crazy. I was and am sick. I have a virus that last six weeks. It is soooo horrible. I can't breathe or anything. I only feel good when I sleep. I also have a lot of school work that is making it hard because of the work load and the virus. Then my great grandma fell and broke her hip and I had to go to Kentucky. It had just been so bad and horrible. I am so sorry. I HOPE YOU LIKED IT. PLEASE REVIEW. I plan to update soon, I promise. 1babyt
