Chapter 7

*Austin's POV*

It had been two and a half months since Jimmy had come in to tell us that having a baby was irresponsible and could affect our career. It was August, and Ally was now three months pregnant, so since she was starting to show, she had to wear clothes that were a little too big to hide it. She couldn't go on like this forever though. People had to find out eventually.

We were sitting in the Music Factory one afternoon after the students had gone home. We were trying to figure out how we could break the news to the public, yet keep our careers strong.

"It's sad that even though we're responsible enough to be parents, with good careers, good money and I'm going to university next month, that people won't understand that." Ally said. "There should be a way to tell people that even though we might be having a baby, that teenage pregnancy is irresponsible."

"There is!" Trish exclaimed. "If we put a video on the internet of the two of you explaining about teenage pregnancy, and how it can affect lives, maybe it won't hurt you both as role models!"

"Good idea, Trish!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah! Dez, go get your camera!" Ally added.

"I never leave home without it!" Dez said, pulling it out of his bag.

"Okay, good," Ally said, and walked over to sit beside me. Dez knelt into position. I put my arm around Ally.

"and...ACTION!" Dez squealed.

"Hi, I'm Austin Moon," I began.

"and I'm Ally Dawson," Ally added. "You may have heard the rumour on the internet that Austin and I are expecting a baby."

"Which is true," I said. "But don't freak out because we aren't finished."

"Yeah, don't stop watching the video here because you finally know the truth about our baby and you want to share the video to all your friends and the rest of the universe." Ally said.

"We're just as excited for the arrival of our baby as you are but we have something very important to tell you," I added.

"Just because I'm pregnant, doesn't mean it's okay to have a child young," Ally said. "It all depends on your financial income, if you can take care of the child, your future, university, everything. You need to make sure the child can depend on you,"

"So don't think, just because Ally is pregnant means it's okay for any teenage girl to get pregnant. It most certainly isn't." I said. "Ally and I both finished high school, are financially stable, doing well in our music careers and the music factory. Plus Ally got accepted into Julliard, starting next month and I can stay home and take care of the baby. If you can't take care of the baby, you would need to hire child care, which costs even more money, which could cause your family to go into debt."

"Also, we've been together a long time, we love each other and we know we can take care of the baby. If you haven't already heard, Austin and I are getting married soon." Ally said.

"We even bought a house together already that we're going to move into when we do get married." I added.

"So, just take it from us, don't become parents unless you know you're ready," Ally finished. I kissed her.

"CUT!" Dez shrieked.

"Guys, that was amazing!" Trish said. "I hope Jimmy is satisfied."

"I hope so too," I said.

With that, Dez ran out of the building and shouted, "This'll be online in an hour!"

*Ally's POV*

About two hours after Dez left, he was back. He came in with a big smile and showed us the comments the video was getting. Most of them were positive. Now we had to wait for Jimmy's feedback. Soon later, Austin got a text, he took his phone from his pocket.

"From Jimmy," he said, hisexpression a little tense. We watched in suspense as Austin unlocked his phone and went inot his texts. He read the messge aloud. "Austin, I saw your video. I'm not too pleased that you put it out there that you're expecting a baby, but I'm impressed that you came up with the idea to warn your fans about teenage pregnancy."

"Oh, good," I said. everyone sighed in relief. The tension left in a relaxing wave. We all sat on the couch once again. So my album was out, the news about the baby was out. Now I we just had to finish planning the wedding and that would be another thing I wouldn't have to worry about. Things were looking up for us. I'm glad, because having to worry about Jimmy's threat was just too much stress.
