The next day while Aubrey was down for her nap and Austin was out by the pool I decided I needed to call Alex. I grab my cell phone and punch in number 4. I hold my finger over the call button deciding whether to hit it or not. I finally just push the button and wait while I hear it ring. After three rings I was about to hang up when I hear his voice. The voice I use to call when I was nervous or needed something. "Ally, is that you? Is everything okay? I am so sorry." I giggle a little, "Alex, everything is fine. I was calling to see if you…" I stop and take a deep breath, come on just do it. This is Alex, this is the person you always trusted and cared about. He hasn't changed. Don't let one thing ruin that. "Ally, are you there?" I laugh, "Yeah, sorry about that. I was wondering if you wanted to come to Aubrey's birthday party?"

I wait and then I hear a laugh, "I would love to. It's this Saturday right?" I laugh, "Yep, at the house." "I would love to come but is Austin going to be oaky with this. I know what I did was wrong. I never should have done that. You were with Austin and it was wrong of me. I am so sorry about that." I laugh, "Alex, calm down. Austin was the one that brought up inviting you." "That is great. Yes, I will be there." I smile because I really have missed him. "Great, I know Aubrey will love that." "How is she?" I laugh, "Spoiled like always. She has gotten so big. She can kind of walk now." "Wow, she is growing up so much." I laugh, "I know. Anyway I have to go get her and feed her but I will see you at school tomorrow." "Okay, bye Ally." "Bye Alex."

As I hang up I look at the phone with a smile on my face. He really hasn't changed. He is such a nice person. I really can't let one bad thing ruin our friendship like that. He has always been there for me. He has taken me to doctor appointments, he was there when Austin hurt me, And he was just always there. No matter when I called he came to me. I hope everything between us can go back to be okay.

I walk outside to see Austin asleep on the lawn chair. I laugh and head back inside to go check on Aubrey. I walk into her room and see her stand up. "Hey baby girl. How is mommy's girl?" She giggles, "Owkay." I laugh and pick her up. "You are so adorable." She looks up at me while I am changing her and smiles, "I Knows." I laugh and shake my head, "I swear you are just like your dad." She giggles.

I finish changing her diaper and change her clothes. I look at her while I brush her hair some. Her little cruls just bounce. "Baby girl, you are so pretty. Boys are going to go crazy over you." "Yes, and daddy is going to be crazy because of that." I turn to him and laugh, "Baby, that is awhile from now. Don't worry about that. " He laughs and comes over to us, "Oh I worry all the time. She is so pretty, boys are gonna love her and that is not something I like or want to happen." I laugh and put Aubrey on the ground and she starts to walk over to her toys.

Wrapping my arms around him I laugh, "Yeah, but maybe we will have a boy by then and he will protect her for you." He laughs and wraps his arms around me, "Yeah maybe. And maybe we can try for a boy soon." I laugh and shake my head as I grab Aubrey and head downstairs.

After feeding Aubrey and cleaning her up, I walk into the living room and put her down to play with her toys and watch her princess movies. I sit down on the couch and fold Aubrey's clothes I got from the dryer. Austin walks in and sits down. "What are you doing Ally?" I sigh and shake my head, "Well, I invited Alex to the party, I fed and cleaned Aubrey, I called and got the cake, and I am folding her clothes." He looks at me shocked, "Baby, why didn't you tell me I could have helped." I just shake my head, "Austin, it's fine. You were relaxing. But if you really want to help can you watch Aubrey. I don't really need a nap." He smiles and leans in and gives me a quick kiss. "Of course, go lie down."

I wake up to crying and see I have been asleep for about an hour an a half. I sigh and get up walking down stairs. I see Austin walking around with Aubrey trying to calm her down. "Please stop crying princess. We are gonna wake mommy up. " "Too late, what's wrong?" I walk to them and he shrugs, "I really don't know. She got up and just started crying." I grab Aubrey and check her diaper and it is clean. I walk to the kitchen and see if she wants her bottle but she refuses. I feel her head and notice she is hot. I sigh, "Austin, I think she is sick."

He looks over at me and sighs, "Uh man. Should we take her to the doctor or…" "Nah, I am going to give her some baby Tylenol and give her a cool bath and put her to bed. Hopefully she will feel better before we go to bed. I will be back." I walk up with Aubrey and try to calm her down. I start to sing to her and wash her body with cool water and she calms down. I go back into her room and get her dressed. I walk over to my room and get the baby Tylenol and give her some. She is smiling some when I lay her down in her bed and sing to her until she falls asleep.

I sigh as I walk down stairs and see Austin is on the phone and trying to hide it. "Brooke, listen I know." Wait, what why is he talking to Brooke. "No, Come on you promised." What, I am confused. "Fine, But I Ally better not find out." What am I not to find out? I am getting mad, but I don't want him to think I was listening. I turn and walk back upstairs. Maybe I was blowing it all out of context. I bet they were just talking about Aubrey's party. Then what am I not suppose to find out. Ugh, that's it I am going back down.

I see Austin is still on the phone, "Okay, Yeah. I know. I got to go. Because my daughter is sick. Brooke, I can't deal with this. I love Ally and I refuse to lose her. Yeah I know. Fine. Okay. Just I swear if Ally finds out I will never forgive you. Yeah,whatever bye." He hangs up and turns around and lets out a girly squeal, "Hi, Ally." I just stare at him, "How long were you there?" I act like I am thinking, "Oh, umm, let's see, well… What am I suppose to not find out about Austin?"

I am back. However I got good news and bad news. Good news, I am feeling better. Still really sick but I can focus and not feeling as bad.
BAD news, Well I am doing bad in school. My college work got harder and a lot more of it. I am going to try to balance this and my 5 classes but I don't know how much I will be able to update for awhile. I will update. I promise that, I just don't know how much. I will get a routine going soon and everything will be okay.
More good news, School ends May 8th and I will be off for a little over three months.
Anyway, PLEASE REVIEW.
I hope you liked the chapter.
