Austin and Ally- Love Comes Around

The father is...

It has been two months and I am showing but if I wear certain tops you can’t tell. I am walking around the bedroom in my bra and jeans and wedges but I can’t figure out what top to wear that won’t show my bump. No one knows yet and Austin and I agreed to wait to tell.

I hear the front door open and close and foots on the steps. I am looking at shirts on my bed when I feel two arms wrap around me and his hands on my stomach, “What are you doing?” I turn around and sit on the bed, “I can’t decide which top won’t show the bump.” He smiles and comes over placing his hand on the small bump, “Baby its cute and we are going to have to tell everyone eventually.” I shake my head and he holds up a black flowing top with yellow and blue flowers on it. “Here?”

I smile and put it on and grab my black leather jacket Austin bought me a couple months ago. I spin around and he whistles as I giggle, “Looking good baby.” I laugh and grab his hand, “So Aubrey was dropped off okay?” He nods and grabs my backpack as we walk out the door.

I get in his car and smile, “After school we find out.” He nods, “I know baby.” I smile and we start driving to school when I see McDonalds, “Austin, McDonalds.” He laughs and pulls In and drives to the drive thru. “What do you want?” I can tell he is laughing at me so I slap him, “Pancakes and orange juice with a hash brown.” He looks at me and then shakes his head smiling.

I am eating the pancakes as Austin pulls into the school. He looks at me and laughs. I shake my head and push the last pancake to him, “Finish please.” He takes them from me and smiles while he finishes the pancake.

“Come on baby, let’s go in.” I nod as he comes around and opens my door. He hands me my bag and smiles as we walk into the school. Trish runs up to me, “Ally, I miss you.” I laugh, “Trish, I see you almost every day and you can come over anytime.” She laughs, “I know, it just isn’t the same.” She looks at me then tilts her head, “Ally, You look amazing today.” I laugh and walk to my locker putting the bag in and grabbing my binder and book, “Thanks. Trish I need to go.” She nods and walks away as I walk to class.”

It’s almost the end of the day and I am getting nervous. I find out in a couple hours who the dad is. It’s crazy.  I am about to walk up the steps to my next class when I hear someone call my name, I turn and see Alex, “Hey Alex.” He smiles, “Hey Ally. DO you mind if I walk with you.” I shake my head and we start walking to our next class.

Alex is walking beside me and we are laughing when I trip and am about to fall face first. Alex was quick enough and he caught me, “Ally are you okay?” I nod and he smiles as he rights me. His face changes and I realized he caught me by grabbing me around my waist and stomach. His hand drops and I start walking up the rest of the stairs and when my feet hit flatness I speed walk to my next class.  

However he is faster than me. One he is on the football team and two I am in wedges with a baby bump.  I sigh as I feel his hand on my wrist, “Ally wait.” I turn around knowing there is nothing I can do. Class already started and he knows now so I have to face it. “What?” He drops my hand and looks at my stomach then me, “Are you?” I look around then back at him without saying anything. “Ally.” I sigh and lift my shirt up a little and his eyes go wide.

I put my shirt down and walk over to the table sitting in the corner and sit down. He follows and looks between me and my stomach, “Why didn’t you tell anyone?” I shrug and then he looks around. He stands up and runs his hands through his hair, “That baby could be mine.”

I look down as he walks around and mumbles to himself. He sighs then sits back down, “How far along are you?” I sigh, “Alex look, It doesn’t matter.” He looks at me shocked, “How does it not matter? I could be the father.” I shake my head, “Alex, whether you are the father or not Austin is going to be there and he is going to be the dad.”  He looks at me and shakes his head, “No, if that baby is mine then I want to be a part of its life.” I sigh and get up, “Alex, listen to me. Austin and I just got past what happened between you and me and I don’t want this to get in the way. Austin said that whatever happens he is going to be the father and I agree with him. If you are the dad then that doesn’t matter. I never wanted to tell anyone because I wanted to be sure of everything first.”

He stares at me like I have two heads, “Listen Ally, I love you and I want you to be happy but if that baby is mine then you have no right to keep me from it.” I sigh and lean back, “Whatever Alex, I am not dealing with this.” I get up and start walking away when he pulls me to him again, “Ally, I mean it. I deserve to know.” I sigh and wrap my arms around him, “Okay, I will let you know but it won’t change anything.” He sighs, “When do you find out?” I look around, “After school.”

He looks at me and nods, “Can I come?” I looks around and nod, “Fine.” He helps me down the stairs and we hear the bell ring announcing that school is over. I walk over to my locker and see Austin running towards me and Alex. “Why weren’t you in class?” I look at Alex, “He found out.” He looks at me then Alex and nods. “So what now?” I look at Alex then Austin, “He wants to come.” Austin sighs then nods, “Fine but lets go.”

I get in Austin’s car and then Alex goes and gets in his. We pull into the doctor’s office and I get out and see Alex pull in next to us. He gets out and hugs me. “Ally, I’m sorry about what happened at school. I overreacted. Your right you and Austin deserve to be happy but I still deserve to know.” Austin comes over and takes Alex’s hand, “Man, I’m sorry. I know you deserve to know but I am going to be the father.”

We all walk into the office and sit down. Alex looks at my stomach and then looks back at me. I sigh and grab his hand putting his hand on my stomach, he looks at me then smiles and Austin looks over and sighs. I grab his hands and put it there too. They both smile at me as we are called back.

Dr. Harper comes in and smiles, “Well seems like he found out.” I nod, “Yeah I started to fall and he caught me.” Austin looks at me and I shrug. We walk over to the table and she puts the gel on and looks for the baby. “Well here is the little peanut.” I smile and she looks at the men who are both smiling I laugh and she ushers them out of the room. “Let’s figure out who the dad is.” I nod.

She does the test and then lets the boys back in. “I will call you back in to see me in three days.” We all nod and walk out. I smile and get in the car.

Austin gets in and we drive home since my dad wanted to keep Aubrey again. I sigh as I sit on the couch and Austin comes over and puts his hand on my stomach, “You almost fell?” I nod, “Yeah Alex caught me.” He nods, “I have to thank him.” I laugh and curl up with him.

It is three days later and I pull into the office to see Alex’s jeep sitting in a space and pull in next to him. I get out and he walks over and hugs me as Austin gets out. We walk in and are called back immediately. I sit there and wait.

Doctor Harper walks in and I smile. She sits down and looks between us, “Any questions.” I shake my head and so do both boys. I think we are all nervous to find out who is the dad. She looks at the results then smiles, “Still want to know?” I nod and she smiles, “The father is…”

She looks between me, Austin and Alex. I look at both boys and look back at her, “Please.” She smiles, “The father is Austin.”
