Austin has gotten no sleep again. Aubrey got scared the first night we put her in the bed and woke up at one in the morning crying. It has been a week now and Austin has barely gotten any sleep. I wake up in the middle of the night with him to get Aubrey but she wants him and he just tells me to go back to bed and he will take care of it. Last night he tried to sleep in bed with her and it worked for her but he said he got no sleep. He is laying down on the couch right now. He gets a few hours when the kids take a nap. Aubrey is stuck on him like glue right now and I wish I could help but she only wants daddy.

I am making dinner while they all try to get some sleep. Aubrey is sleeping on top of Austin on the couch and Aiden is sleeping in his crib upstairs. I am putting the pasta in the oven when my phone goes off. I pick it up and walk outside. "Hello?" "Hey Ally, How is everything going?" I smile and sit down on the chair and look out at the back yard. "Austin is getting no sleep again. Aiden's birthday is in a couple weeks. I am tired and hurting a lot but besides that everything is good." I hear laughter, "Well I can't help you with the pain or the tiredness because you are carrying twins but I can help you arrange everything for Aiden and I can try to relieve you and Austin to let you guys try to get some sleep." I laugh and watch the bird fly away that was next to me, "I could use some help with the birthday party but I don't think sleeping would even help." He sighs, "I can come by tonight and help the best I can." I nod, "That sounds great. I will set an extra plate for dinner." I hear laughter, "Okay, I will see you later. Bye." I hear the phone go dead.

I place my phone on the kitchen counter and finish getting everything ready for dinner.

I hear a scream and then crying. I walk as quick as I can into the living room and see Aubrey laying on the ground and Austin rubbing his eyes trying to figure out what happened. I bend down and pick Aubrey up and place her on my hip as I stand up. I wipe her tears with my free hand. "Oh baby, your okay." I kiss her head and rock her slightly. Austin stands up and takes her from me. "I'm sorry Princess. I forgot you were sleeping on me. You know I would never hurt you." She hiccups and looks up at him with tears in her eyes still. "I love you. I am so sorry." She nods and lays her head on his chest. He rocks her and looks at me. "You okay?" I nod and watch Aubrey calm down.

I walk upstairs as I hear crying start up there. I open the door and see Aiden standing on his feet with his arms out to me. I smile, "Hey baby. Did you sleep good?" "Ah." I laugh and pick him up, "Well that is good." I pop him on my him and he kicks his one leg over my big belly and the other along my back. I laugh and hold him up by his butt and walk over and fix his diaper.

Once everything is done I pop him back on my hip and he fixes his legs once again with one over my stomach and smiles at me, "Rother." I laugh, "Yes your brothers are in there. You are going to be a great big brother." He smiles at me. I walk us down stairs and when Austin sees us he laughs. "Aiden, that can't be comfortable." Aiden lifts his chin and Austin laughs more. I laugh with him, "This is his new way he likes to sit on me." Austin comes over and takes him from me, "Is that so?" Aiden nods, "Rother." Austin smiles, "Yeah your brothers are in there." I sit down on the couch and Aiden places his hand on my stomach as he lays across my lap and watches a movie Aubrey has on. She turns back to me and smiles, "Are new brothers coming?" I laugh and shake my head, "Not yet baby." She pouts, "I want new one." I laugh and shake my head, "It doesn't work like that sweetie. You still have Aiden as your brother but you are gaining two more." She sighs, "No new one." I laugh and shake my head, "No baby, you will have three brothers." She sighs and turns back to the movie.

Austin looks at me, "What are we going to name them?" I shrug, "I have been thinking about names but I don't know." He smiles, "What have you been thinking about?" I laugh, "Well I figured stay with the A and I came up with names like Adam and Aaron." He nods, "Not bad, I could see that but I think maybe something more different." I laugh and look at him, "Like what?" He smiles, "I don't know. We want something normal but not so common." I nod, "But they should kind of go together since they are twins." He nods, "They just have to sound good together." He nods.

We watch the movie for awhile and then Austin yawns. "When will dinner be ready?" I shrug, "Another hour or two." He nods, "So I have time to go get some coffee?" I nod, "Yeah." He stands up and stretches, "Will you be okay with the two of them till I get back? If not I can take one or both of them with me." I shake my head, "I will be fine. Go get you some coffee." He leans down and pecks my lips. "Do you want anything?" I nod, "Can you get me a blacken shaken iced tea lemonade sweetened?" He nods and grabs his keys before walking out the door.

Alex shows up about twenty minutes later. The dinner goes off a few minutes later. I was so off on the time on that. I take the pan out of the oven and place it on top of the stove. I walk into the living room and round the kids into the kitchen to start getting ready for dinner. Austin should be home any minute. I get the kids in their seats and there food on plates and cooled off in front of them. They start to eat when my phone goes off. I pick it up and see Austin calling. "Hey, where are you?" "Is this Ally?" "Yeah." "Austin Moon, was in an accident. He is being taken to Miami hospital." I feel everything fall away. I grab onto the counter and hold myself up the best I can. "Uh...I..Is he okay?" I hear a sigh, "I don't know ma'am, I was just calling because I found his phone in his car." "Tha..thank you." I hang up and feel my phone fall. "Ally." I hear Alex calling my name but I can't focus. "Ally? Ally, What's wrong?" I am being turned and see Alex looking at me concerned. "Um. Austin was in an accident." I watch his face go from concerned to worried. "Is he okay?" I shake my head, "I uh. I don't know." He nods, "We need to get you to the hospital." I regain myself and shake my head, "I need someone here for the kids. Just make sure they eat and get to bed. I will go to the hospital." He shakes his head, "You don't need to be driving like this." I shake my head, "I will be fine. Just take of the kids, please." He nods and kisses my forehead, "Of course. Go and call me when you find out how he is." I nod and grab my phone and keys before getting in my car and heading to the hospital.

The whole way there I can't stop thinking about what happened and if he is okay. I park the car and walk into the hospital. I see a nurse at the desk and walk up to her, "I am looking for Austin Moon." She looks at me, "And who are you?" "Ally Dawson, his songwriter, fiancé and friend." She looks at me, "Can I have identification?" I nod and show her my license. "Okay, everything checks out. Go ahead and go through this door and he is the third door on the left." I nod and walk down the hallway and to the third door. I stop and look at the closed door. I start to turn the handle when it opens and I see a doctor walk through. "Oh you must be here for Mr. Moon?" I nod, "I am his fiancé." He nods, "Hello, I am Doctor Robertson. Well he was in a car accident and we don't know what exactly happened..." I place a hand on my stomach to try and calm the kicking and interrupt, "Is he okay?" He sighs, "From what we can tell he is okay. He does have a broken arm and some cuts and bruises but the main thing scaring us is, he is not waking up." I lean against the wall, "He is in a coma?" He shakes his head, "No, no. Everything seems fine and we are showing no signs of a coma just he hasn't woken up. I will be back in a little bit to check on him again." I nod, "Can I go in?" He nods, "Of course. Try to relax and just be here." He looks down at my stomach, "I will be back after my rounds but page if you need anything." I nod and open the door and walk in.

Austin is laying in bed with a cast on his left arm and some stitches on his face and arms that I can see. I see bruises forming along his face and chest. I walk over to the chair and sit down. I grab his hand, "Austin?" I look around at the machines, "I am here baby." I feel a big kick and double over. "The babies are awake too. They are kicking like crazy." I look at him breathing steadily. "The doctor says you are fine. Please wake up." I feel tears fall on my chest and I look at him again. "Aubrey and Aiden need you. These babies need you." I place a hand on my stomach, "I need you." I look at the machines again, "I love you. I have always loved you. I just want you to wake up. We all need you baby." I try to lean back in the chair and get comfy.

I just hold his hand and watch him as I feel the tears fall.

The door opens and I see the doctor walk in. "He still hasn't woke up?" I shake my head. He comes over and starts to check him out. "Everything seems right. I don't know why he isn't waking up." He puts everything back and covers him back up. "I am on shift for another few hours. I will check back again before I leave. If he hasn't woke up by then we may have to check for something we are missing." I nod and watch him walk out the door.

I turn back to Austin and sigh, "Please wake up." I lay my head on the side of his bed and feel the tears wetting the sheet. "Please wake up Austin. Please." I lay there for a moment and sigh. "I think I came up with names for the babies." I look up some and watch his face not move, "I think Asher and Adam sound good. I could see them growing into those names." I lay my head back down as the tears start again. "Please wake up. Please wake up Austin. I need you."
