I look at my phone like I am crazy. Austin just told me he is coming home then hung up. This has to be some sick joke. He isn't suppose to be coming home yet. I look over to Alex still asleep and sigh.
Laying down I suddenly feel exhausted and I feel sleep taking over.
I wake up to banging and I look around and see Alex still asleep next to me and I know the kids cant be banging and I hear nothing from there rooms so I lay back down yawning. It must be coming from outside.
I am starting to fall back asleep when I hear something drop and it sounds like it is right near me. I open my eyes and see Austin. I scream. I feel movement and then I hear Austin, "What the Hell?" I look around again trying to make sure I am getting this right. Austin is here in this house, right now.
I feel Alex move again and I look over to see him sitting up and rubbing his eyes. "Whats happening?" He yawns and I look at Austin who is still staring at us. All of a sudden I am hit as Alex throws the blankets off jumping up. I look at him and he leans back over the bed, "So sorry, I didn't… oh, this is not good." Austin comes over and gives him a death glare, "Really?" I sigh, and get up standing on my knees in the middle of the bed, "Okay, Alex, its okay I know Austin freaked you out. I am okay." I turn to Austin, "Chill out. Nothing happened. Aiden woke me up really early this morning and I was trying to get him back to bed when I found out Alex had the baby monitor so he had to listen to me try and get him asleep for an hour. He was tired and I couldn't go to sleep so I let him have the bed as I took the chair to read."
Austin looks between both of us and I see Alex nodding quickly, "She was in the chair when I fell asleep, I swear." Austin looks at me, "Then how did you end up in bed?" I sit down and sigh, "You woke me up and I sat down on the bed talking to you when I fell asleep. Get over it Austin. Nothing fucking happened. Now if you both don't mind I am going back to sleep." I grab the blankets and pull them over me as I close my eyes and start to feel sleep take over.
I open my eyes quickly and look at Austin before screaming and jumping in his arms, "Oh my god, Your home." He starts laughing, "Took you long enough." I slap him and lean in kissing him. He places me on the floor and I smile, "I thought I was dreaming. Oh my god, you are really home? No more leaving?" He smiles and wraps his arm around me, "No babe, I am home. Tour ended early." I smile and stand on my tippy toes kissing him.
I run over to Alex and hug him, "He's home!" He start laughing and hugs me, "I can see that." I start doing a weird dance and they both start laughing at me. I turn and look at both of them, "What? I am happy." Alex shakes his head. Austin laughs, "I thought you were seriously going to bed." I shrug, "I am seriously sleep deprived and I thought I was dreaming."
Austin comes over and throws an arm around both me and Alex, "How about you guys get some sleep and I take care of everything?" I look at him and smile, "Really?" He nods and pushes Alex towards he door, "Go get some sleep." He smiles and I hear him walk down the steps before I hug Austin again and kiss him before pulling away and yawning, "I cant believe you are home." Laughing he picks me up and I feel myself hit the warmth of my bed as he pulls the blankets up over me. "Get some sleep." He leans down and gives me a quick kiss before closing the door. I feel sleep take over immediately.
Austin's Pov…
Laughing I walk downstairs and into the room Alex has and see him asleep with two baby monitors. He has one on each end table. Smiling I grab the monitors and step out of the room and close the door. I look around the living room and see a mess.
Laughing again I start picking everything up. An hour later the house is clean and everyone is still asleep.
Smiling I sit down on my couch and turn the television on. Yes I was mad when I come home and see Alex and Ally in mine and her bed but I had no right. I mean just looking at them you can tell they are both exhausted. They looked like they were going to fall asleep any minute anyway. It was only right to let them get some sleep. Alex has been helping take care of both my kids and also helping Ally. Knowing Ally I bet she was trying to do it all so he wouldn't have to help.
I lean back and start watching television.
I hear a monitor going off and I walk upstairs and stand in the hallway… Which one is it? I look into Aubrey's room and I think she is still sleeping so I walk across the hall and look in Aiden's room but he looks asleep to me too. Ugh, how do I tell which one it is?
Sighing I walk farther into Aiden's room and see him whining and his eyes open. I smile and reach down picking him up, "Hey little one. What's wrong?" I check his diaper and he needs changed. I put him on his table and grab a diaper and start to change him. I throw his dirty diaper in the can and smile. "Feel better?" He starts whining again and I see a bottle so I pick it up and try to feed him but he doesn't want it. "Hey, whats wrong?"
"He wants you to move and sing to him." I look to the door and see a exhausted Ally. I look back at Aiden and start moving some as I get a song In my head,
"Ooh girl you're shining
Like a 5th avenue diamond
And they don't make you like they used to
You're never going out of style
Ooh pretty baby
This world might've gone crazy
The way you save me
Who can blame me
When I just wanna make you smile?
I wanna thrill you like Michael
I wanna kiss you like Prince
Let's get it on like Marvin Gaye
Like Hathaway
Write a song for you like this
You're over my head
I'm out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
One of a kind, living in a world gone plastic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you,
Baby you're so classic
Four dozen of roses
Anything for you to notice
All the way to serenade you
Doing it Sinatra style
Ima pick you up in a Cadillac
Like a gentleman bringin' glamour back
Keep it reel to reel in the way I feel
I could walk you down the aisle. "
I look down and see him still fussing and look over at Ally who looks like she is going to fall asleep standing up, "What am I doing wrong?" She comes over and takes him In his arms and starts moving side to side.
She smiles down at him before opening her mouth and I hear her angelic voice start to sing,
"Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah
Tonight we won't count sheep
Count the ways that I love thee
Count all the things that ever made you smile
Just rest your eyes awhile
Tomorrow's a new day
It may feel so far away
I'll always be everywhere you are
So rest your peaceful heart
Go to sleep, my son
Be still my little one
You're one step closer to the man that you'll become
Another day is done
As summer turns to snow
I'm so proud to watch you grow
I'll cherish every moment of your life
But now let's say goodnight
Go to sleep, my son
Be still my little one
You're one step closer to the man that you'll become
Another day is done
So go to sleep, my son
Another day is done. "
I look at her amazed, "How?" She shrugs and hands a sleeping Aiden back to me, "I found out that song puts him to sleep last night and moving side to side helps." I nod and lean down kissing her lips, "You're a wonderful mom." Nodding she looks at him before yawning, "Baby go get some sleep, I know now." She nods and heads off to the room.
I look down at a sleeping Aiden and smile, "Its good to be home.
