Hey guys. Sorry its so short but I hope you enjoy!
My family just left and Ari's sleeping. "What happened before with Ari?" Ally asks and I sigh, putting my head in my hands. "She said that if I kill myself, I leave her forever..." I say, crying because I'm thinking about what she said. "She told me that she's trying her hardest to be good. She thinks that it's her fault." I say, my voice strained. "My dad was right. I'm too irresponsible to have a daughter." I whisper to myself but I guess Ally heard me. "Austin, you're a great father. Don't let one silly thing do this to you..." She says and I choke down a sob. "It's not a silly thing Alls! You should've heard her. She was hysterical crying, telling me not to leave her. Saying she's trying her hardest to be good and that she'd do anything so I wouldn't kill myself." I say and Ally grabs my hand. "You hold back on me." She tells me and I look up at her in confusion. "You need to tell me everything that's on your mind. I can help you." She says and I swallow hard. "You don't want to know what's on my mind. Really. You've heard all of this before. You'll just tell me that it's wrong." I say and she shakes her head. "I'll help you. I won't tell you that it's wrong. Please Austin..." She pleads and I sigh, taking a deep breath.
"I make life for you and Ariana harder. I make you stressed and now Ariana cries every time I'm not holding her because I wanted to kill myself. I know my depression is over but I still feel like I shouldn't be here. I wonder how everyone would be without me..." I say and she grabs my hand. "Ariana is going to have separation issues and depression is hereditary. What if one of us has some other hereditary problem and give it to her? I just... I'm sorry. I really am. Don't you think you'd be happier without me?" I ask and she shakes her head. "I'm as happy as I can be as long as you and Ari are with me." She says and I take a deep breath. "You don't know how much I love you..." I tell her and she smiles. "I think I have an idea..." She tells me with a laugh and kisses me on the lips.
I run my tongue along her bottom lip and she moans. I lay her down across the couch, and she grabbed the hem of my shirt. I moan against her lips and I could feel her smirk agains my lips. I roll my eyes and slowly grind against her hips, making her cry out, which makes me chuckle. "Austin..." She moans and I kiss her again, bringing my hand lower. I put my hand underneath her skirt before a small voice makes us jump apart. "Daddy?" She asks and I jump off from on too of Ally, scratching the back if my neck awkwardly. "What you guys doing?" She asks and I bite my lip, looking at Ally. "Um..." She says and I glance back at Ari. "We wer-" I get cut of by a knock on the door. "Oh thank The Lord..." I say, and run to the door.
"Oh thank goodness you just knocked on our door..." I say, hugging Trish. "Why?" She asks with a laugh. "We were um... Doing things and Ari walked in." I say and she looks at me confused. "Intimate things." I say and her eyes widen. "No!" She says and I nod. "She came in and she asked us what we were doing. That's when you knocked." I say and she laughs, looking at Ally and Ari. "Austin!" Ally yells and I look at her. 'Help me' he mouths to me and I throw my head back in frustration. "Mommy was sick. And I was helping her...?" I say as a question and she shrugs. She walks over to me and lifts her arms up for me to lift her up.
"Hi Auntie Tish!" She yells and Trish smiles. "Hey sweety, how's daycare?" She asks and she smiles. "It's fun but it's hawd." She says and I look at her in confusion. "What is?" I ask her and she shrugs. "Da afabet... I mix up wetters all da time..." She says and I look at Ally worriedly. "Does Aust get it?" I ask Trish and she nods. "Yeah, he comes home singing the alphabet song everyday." She says and I look at Ari. "Ar, you didn't tell me that you were learning the alphabet..." I say and she shrugs. "Cuz it's hawd fow me and I don't wanna make you mad at me dat I no get it..." She says and I squeeze her tighter in the hug. "I'll never be mad at you for trying baby..." I tell her and she nods. "The teacher wants to talk to you. She was gonna today but you didn't pick her up..." Dez says, walking in behind Trish with Aust. "I wonder what it's about..." Ally says and I nod. "I'll talk to her tomorrow." I say and we all talk about wedding plans.
"What colors do you want for bridesmaid dresses Alls?" Trish asks and she thinks for a minute. "Obviously red or yellow... Maybe like every other girl alternates colors?" She says but says it as a question. "That could work..." Trish says, typing something up on the computer, Ally looking at the screen too. "Do you know where it's gonna be?" Dez asks and I nod. "Were gonna have a beach wedding in Miami..." I say and he nods. "I'll set up cameras and everything! It'll be so cool!" He says and I smile. "Thanks man, I'll pay you... Don't worry." I say and he shakes his head. "Don't even try to argue." I say and he nods.
"I'm pooped... Do we have to do this anymore right now?" I ask and Ally glares at me. "It's literally been a minute. Maybe two." She says and I groan. "Is the reception gonna be yellow because it's Ari's favorite color?" Ally asks me and I nod. "Yellow and red, it's for us too..." I say with a laugh and she nods. "What about our honey moon? We can't leave Ari here..." Ally says and I sigh. "We can watch her..." Dez cuts in and I groan. "She can't leave Austin..." Ally says and I look at her with tears in my eyes. "It's not your fault Austin, okay? Please..." She says and I get up and go into the kitchen.
"Why can't she be away from Austin?" Trish whispers, not so quietly. "When his dad was here, they were yelling and... She heard that he tried to kill himself. Ever since then, she refuses to even leave his side unless she's sleeping..." She says and I feel my chest tighten. "Like, she's gonna wake up soon, crying because Austin's not in there wi-" she gets cut off. I sigh and walk over to her room. "Daddy?" She asks and I smile, sitting on her bed. "Yeah Princess, I'm right here..." I say lifting her up and bringing her out into the living room. They all look at me with sad expressions as I pass them, to go into the kitchen to grab apple juice for Ari.
"Baby, I'm not leaving. I promise." I say, walking back into the living room. She clings on to me tighter and I sigh, sitting down on the couch but groan. "What's wrong Austin?" Ally asks me and I look at Ari. 'Bathroom' I mouth and she comes closer to me. "Ari, I'll be right back I promise." I say and hand her to Ally. She starts crying immediately and I jog to the bathroom.
I come out a minute later, Ari smiling at me when I come out. "Wuv you daddy..." She says when i bring her into my arms. "Love you too.." I say and I squeeze my eyes shut. "I'm sorry Ar..." I say and she shakes her head. "It otay..." She says, muffled my my shirt. I sit back down and ignore Dez and Trish's stares. "Okay, so obviously Ari has to come on our honeymoon..." I say and they all nod. Grabbing Ally's hand, I sigh frowning. "I'm sorry... You and Trish should go on like... A mini vacation. To get away from everything. Really." I say and she sighs. "Austin! Don't be sorry! Please... When you say it, it makes me feel bad so please... Please stop feeling bad..." She says, tightening her hold on my hand and I nod.

Ally's POV
Austin! Don't be sorry! Please... When you say it, it makes me feel bad so please... Please stop feeling bad..." I say and he nods. I feel bad for him. He never gets any alone time. He should be the one going on vacation but he can't leave Ari. We have to talk to her about it but we haven't had any alone time today. "I'm pregnant." Trish blurts out and I jump up. "Oh my gosh!" I say smiling. "Congratulations you guys!" I say and so does Austin. "How far are you?" I ask and she smiles, putting her hand on her stomach. "Three months..." She says and I gasp. "Three months?! And I didn't know?!" I yell, jokingly of course. "You guys were under so much... Stress... I couldn't find the right time to tell you." She says and I smile, pulling her in for a hug. "Pwegant?" Aust asks and I freeze. "Um... Yeah... Your mommy is having a baby..." Austin says and she looks at him, tilting her head. "How do you have a baby?" Ari asks and we all look at each other. "Well, we've gotta go... See you later!" Dez says, lifting up Aust and walking out the door next to Trish.
"So?" Ari asks and Austin and I look at each other. "Well... You see... That's a grown up thing..." Austin says and she tilts her head. "What's dat mean?" She asks and I sigh. "That means that you'll know one day... Just not today..." I say and she shrugs. "Oh thank gosh..." I say flipping onto the couch.

Austin's POV
Right now, I'm picking Ari up from daycare and the teacher asked to speak with me in the back. "Mr. Moon, I would like to speak to you about Ariana." She says and I nod. "Okay..." She continues after I speak. "Ariana is having a very difficult time... Comprehending... Some of the things... They're learning the alphabet and she mixes up certain letters like... d and b, m and w, s and z. She also mixes up certain numbers." She says and my heart is beating hard in my chest. "So what does that mean?" I ask her when she doesn't say anything. "Your daughter has dyslexia..."
