Come In With The Rain

Chapter 6

Austin's POV

"Yes, and you just solved all of our problems." What did I get my self into? "We can tell the press that you and Ally are together, you had Audrey but you wanted to hide her from the press! This is perfect!" I can hear him typing away on his computer.

"Wait, I don't think I can get Ally on board with this, Audrey doesn't even know that I'm her father. And I don't think the press will buy this story, with all the rumors that are going around about me already."

"That's just it, there rumors. You have to get Ally to agree to this! Look, the girl wouldn't even have to talk to the press, just you and Ally. Austin, this will save your career." Is saving my career worth the hell that Ally is going to give me?

"Evan, I just don't think this will work."

"Oh it will. Talk to Ally tomorrow, do what ever you have to do get her on board." With that he hangs up. I might not make it out alive when Ally finds out.

The sun comes up the next morning way to soon for my liking. I rub my eyes free of sleep and reach for my phone. The brightness of the screen wakes me up. I go to her contact and hit call. It rings a few times before reaching her voice mail. "Hey Ally. Um, I need to talk to you today. Can I come over some time? Give me a call back." I call two more times but I still get her voice mail.

After putting my phone down, I get up from the bed and go to the bath room to wash off. Looking into the mirror I see the same reflection, but It's different. I'm a father, a father of a little girl that I didn't know about. I have a kid with the girl that I used to be in love with. Am I still in love with Ally? I mean a part of me will always love Ally, but that's just a part of me, not the whole thing. We can pretend to be together with out it complicating things. At least that's what I'm going to tell my self for the time being.

Ally's POV

Austin calls at 9 in the morning, I let it go to voice mail. After getting Audrey dressed and off to day care, I go to work. I don't feel like calling him back. It's too soon, he was just over yesterday. I didn't want Audrey asking me any more questions.

In the evening, Audrey and I have our dinner of spaghetti, or 'sketti' as Audrey calls it.

It's 7, almost time for bed, when there's a knock on the door. I tell Audrey to stay on the couch and continue to watch Blues Clues. I open the front door to show the blonde. "What are you doing here?" Austin walks past me, letting him self in.

"I called to tell you that we needed to talk today." Audrey must hear Austin's voice since she comes running from the living room.

"Austin Moon!" She wraps her tiny arms around his lowered shoulders and my heart aches.

Austin pulls away after a few seconds. "Audrey! How are you?"

"I'm good! Mommy and me had sketti for dinner!"

"It's mommy and I." I correct her grammar and Austin rolls his eyes at me. "We had spaghetti." He nods in understanding. "I think it's time to go to bed, why don't you go in your room and I'll be in in a moment to tell you a bed time story."

"Can Austin tell me a bed time story to?" I shake my head.

"Austin is only staying for a moment, now tell him goodbye and go to your room." She unhappily tells Austin goodbye and stomps off to her room. I can hear Austin lightly chuckle underneath his breath. I tell him that I'll be back.

Audrey decides that she doesn't want a bed time story today so I kiss her head and close the door. I can tell that she is mad, but I don't want her getting attached to Austin like I once did.

I walk out into the living room to see Austin flipping through an old photo album. It's a recent one, ranging from Audrey's 4th birthday party to her first trip to the dentist last month. I walk over and see that he's on the page where she decided to dress up like a pirate last year for Halloween. "She picked that costume out her self. We were in Party City, where there were hundreds of cute kid costumes but she wanted to be a pirate." I can tell that I startle him by the way he jumps a bit.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snoop. I just saw this laying here and I wanted to take a look." He puts the photo album down and turns to look at me.

"It's fine." I led him over to the couch. "What was so important that you couldn't wait?" He gulps.

"Okay, you have to promise not to yell or hit me."

What could he possibly tell me? "As long as you don't give me a reason to."

He takes a bigger gulp. "Here it goes. I'm sure you know that I've had a lot of bad publicity lately." I nod. "Well, my manager called last night to tell me that some girl is going to claim that I got her pregnant." My eyes widen. "It's not true! I've never even met her before. But she knows that the press will buy her story. She wants money and five minutes of fame."

"Okay, what does this have to do with me?" I try to comprehend Austins seriousness to the whole matter. He gets off of the couch and starts to pace around my living room.

"Well, Ally, it has a lot to do with you. My manager thinks that if we," He gestures between the both of us. "Say that were, you know together, that would help. We tell them that Audrey is ours but we kept her hidden from the press." He has his back turned from me and good thing to because the look on my face could kill. Now I know why he said not to hit him.

"Austin, turn around." He hesitantly turns around, his eyes not leaving the floor.

"Are you mad?" His voice is small but doesn't make me forget.

"Um, yes! I'm not going to put my daughter into the tabloids just to save your ass! It's not my fault that your reputation is so bad that people would believe that you would get a random girl pregnant. I doubt they would believe that we were together any way, considering all the girls you have had in your hotel rooms the last few months."

This makes him angry. "I didn't have tons of girls come in and out of my hotel room! Sure, I have slept with people but it's not like an everyday occurrence. Ally, my reputation is beyond repair, but this might help."

"No, I'm not going to use my daughter, or my self for that matter, to help you out. Where were you when I was in the delivery room screaming out in pain." He walks closer to me.

"I was in LA, oblivious about what was going on."

"Whose fault was that?"

He grows silent. "Ally, I need your help. Audrey wouldn't even have to talk to the press."

"I'm sure that paparazzi would follow us around. I don't want her to be placed into that environment! The answer is no." I turn my back from him.

"What if I pay you?" I sharply turn back around.

"You think that money is going to solve this? That proves my point. You are mentally stuck in high school. This is not about money, or our past. It's about my daughter who is my concern. Your only concern is your career that's falling apart already."

"Woah, I'm worried about Audrey to and don't bring my career into this."

"Your career is the reason for all of this!" I somehow get closer to him. His eyes are staring in to mine, both of us realizing the meaning of our words. "If it wasn't for your career we wouldn't even be in this situation. We would still be together and raising Audrey together. It's not my fault that you left and couldn't find the balls to come back."

This makes him snap. "It's not my fault that you couldn't call me to tell me that you were pregnant! You probably didn't even think about me!" I am not going to allow him to do this.

"I didn't think about you? Really? That's a damn lie Austin! I thought about you every single day. I would leave my window open and pray that you would come back to me, to us. But you never did so I closed my window and locked it with a key. I didn't want you to come in with the rain any more. I watched you for so long, I screamed your name so many times that I didn't know what else to do. It was so hard to look at Audrey because of how much she looked like you. I bet you never thought about me." The anger is erased from Austin's eyes as he grabs both of my hands.

"Ally, I thought about you to. Every single night when I was about to do something stupid, I could see the disappointment in your eyes. I would still go down the rabbit hole because when I'm drunk I could almost forget about you, but never completely." It's silent now. I don't know what's happening before I feel a familiar pair of lips on mine. All I can think of is how long it's been since I've felt this feeling.

Hello! I feel like this chapter was rushed but I wanted to post it as soon as I could.

My laptop is still broken :( I'm at my dads and he has a desk top computer that I'm writing and posting on. Were dropping off my lap top today so let's hope they fix it soon.

Also, Austin and Ally are NOT going to have sex right now. I just wanted you guys to know that because I'm not sure how long it will be till the next one.

Thank you for all the reviews! It means so much!

Thanks for reading and please leave a review :)

I do not own Austin and Ally
