Austin and Ally- Love Comes Around

Suspicious.

It has been a couple of weeks since I have really talked to Austin. I keep everything short. I know he is worried and confused but I am afraid I would slip up about the baby.  I am a month along and I think I am starting to show a little. No one seems to have found out yet, so I am happy.

I was getting dressed when I saw my favorite shirt and skinny jeans. I decided it would be okay to wear it, I am not showing that bad. It looks like I just ate a lot. I pull on my floral tank top and light skinny jeans with a few rips in them. I find my sandals and strap them around my ankles. I am feeling great today. I decide to curl my hair and put a little makeup on.  Feeling bad about not talking to Austin I decide to take a picture and send it to him.  

On my way to school I hear a ping. Once at school I check my phone and see Austin wrote back. “You look amazing baby. I wish I could be there to kiss you and fully take in the beauty.”  Smiling I slip my phone in my pocket and go in to start my day.

Alex comes up smiling, “Ally, guess what?” I turn around and smile back, “What?” He is stunned for a second. “Wow, uh, you, uh. . .” Laughing, “Alex, what?” “You just look really beautiful today. You always do but today you are just glowing.” I smile, “Thanks, So what did you want to tell me.” Smiling back, “Oh, we get to leave early today. After lunch, they have to do preparations for some big event.” I smile huge, “Cool. I can’t wait.” I turn and start to leave. “Ally, Want to hang out afterwards?” I smile and turn back, “Sure, sounds fun.”

The day went by quickly. A lot of people complimented me and my teachers told me how nice I looked. Lunch came and I was ready to have fun. Alex walked up and hugged me from behind. “You ready?” I pull away, “Yeah. Can we go get pizza?” He smiles, “Of course.” I follow him to the pizza place.

We eat and play games. Laughing and just being teenagers. I forget about all the drama I have going on in my life and just have fun. We are leaving when Alex goes to hug me. He pulls back real quick, “Ally?” I am confused, “Uh, Yeah?”  He looks down, “I felt something different this time when I hugged you. I thought I saw it this morning but I thought you just ate something big. Ally, Are you pregnant?” I just stare at him shocked. “What? Pssh, No. What would make you think that?” Grabbing my hands he just stares in my eyes, “Ally, I saw my mom pregnant. I have hugged her a lot. I know what a baby bump feels like. Are you?” I look down, “Yes, okay.” He pulls me in again. “Does Austin know?” I shake my head. “How far along are you?” I just mumble, “A month.” I start to cry. “Shush, its okay Ally. Austin loves you. He will be happy when he finds out.” I pull back, “I can’t tell him. I will ruin his career. I don’t want him to give it up for me and the baby. I don’t want him to have regrets. Please don’t tell anyone.” Nodding at me he smiles, “I won’t tell, I promise. Ally, please if you need anything let me know. Someone to go with you to appointments or to just bring you food let me know. I still think you should tell Austin but it’s your decision. I just know sometimes you need someone. Okay?” I nod, “Thank you Alex.” He hugs me again and starts to get in his car, “Alex?” He turns back yeah, “I have an appointment in a couple weeks. Will you come?” He smiles, “Sure.”

Austin’s Pov.

Ally never texted back so I decided she was in school. She has been so weird lately. I get short answers and everything is very short. I hope everything is okay. I hope she isn’t pulling away from me. I love her so much and the times we have talked she says weird things. Like she wants me to always remember she loves me. She feels really happy. Pizza is the best thing in the world. She needs to go shopping. Ally hates to shop. I am so confused. Maybe something really is going on and she is not telling me.

Ally’s Pov.

It has been a couple weeks and Alex is headed to the doctors with me. This is so weird. Why did I ask him to come? I guess because he was so sweet and the last appointment was so emotional that I figured I might need someone here. We are in the waiting room, “Ally, I can wait right here while you go in.” I nod.

Entering the room I feel like something is weird.  Doctor Harper walks in and smiles, “Hi, Ally. How is everything?” I smile, “It is great. I feel so happy lately.” She laughs, “That happens sometimes. I see you told you boyfriend.” I shake my head, “Nope, I couldn’t do it.” She looks confused, “But the man in the waiting room.” I laugh, “He is a friend. He found out I was pregnant and asked if I needed anyone to come with me to appointments or to bring me food to let him know. I figured since the last one was so emotional that maybe him being here would be good.” Nodding, “Any questions?” Shaking my head she writes in my file, “Okay, well let’s look at the baby.” She puts the gel on and moves the wand around my stomach, “There’s your baby. Want pictures again?” I nod and look at the screen. I rub the gel off with a towel she gave me. Coming in with the pictures she sees my little bump, “Oh, you got your bump.” She starts to smile and I nod.

Leaving with the pictures I see Alex waiting. Following me to my car he waits until I am in and seated. “Everything okay?” Nodding, “Yeah, I just still can’t believe all of this.” He turns in the chair, “Ally, I know this is none of my business, but do you know what you are going to do? Because we can look up all the options if you want.” I cut him off, “I don’t know anything. But I know I am not getting an abortion.  I love this baby already. I can’t get rid of it. I want to keep it and raise it.” He nods, “Okay.”

I drive to his house, “Thank you Alex, for everything.” He smiles and hugs me awkwardly before getting out and leaving.

He is so sweet, I wish Austin was here. I want him to see our baby and be there with me.  I have to protect his dream though too. I hear my phone ping as I arrive at my house.

“Ally, is everything okay?”

“Yes, everything is fine.”

“You sure.”

“I love you Austin. I am fine. I am happy. I can’t wait for you to get home. I miss you but I am happy. Nothing is wrong, I promise.”

“Okay, I love you too Ally.”

With that I put my phone on my dresser and lay down on my bed. I am tired and I want a nap. I am keeping my baby. That is the end of that.
