This one's for you (Alan Ashby)

A new home? pt.1

♪♬ Austin's P.O.V ♪♬

I can't believe someone would do that to our precious Natalie. She may be 10 but she still looks like she's 6 or 7. Alan and Sky are lucky to have met someone like her. She's Just to precious for anyone to hurt. I don't understand why her parents would leave her like that. I mean your daughter has cancer, for Christ's sake! You're supposed to support her through it! Not leave and only come and visit every few months! Ugh! The nerve of some people!

We finally pulled up to the restaurant, of Nat's choosing. Olive Garden. Italian food filled our nostrils.  

"Hey Nat sweetie, go with the waitress she'll take you to the table. Okay?" Sky told her. She nodded her head as I looked at the waitress giving her my last name.  

"Reservations for Carlile and Ashby."  

"Of course Mr Carlile. Some of the party is already here." She replied.  

"Thank you and I'm have a meeting with your manager?" I questioned. 

"Of course sir she'll be here momentarily.", I waited patiently when Alan ran up to me.  

"Hey Ginger, what's up?"  

"Have you talked to the manager yet?"  

"Nah, man. She's supposed to come in a little bit. Is everything set up?" 

"Yea. Trotta, and the rest Of the team are already out there putting everything together. Trying to avoid our little Nat. She'll be able to wiggle whatever out of us with just one look and I know I'll give in." I chuckled because Alan was right; with just one little puppy pout look and one of the guys would instantly fall for it and Nat would wiggle whatever information they had out of them. I was just about to reply when a girl around my age, maybe a little bit older came over to us.  

"Hello Mr. Carlile, is everything going okay?" 

"Hello, and Yes my tech crew is setting up outside. I was also wondering if maybe you could close early today for our little gig and just let at least maybe a good 200 people in? But I'm sure Lionel won't mind being a bouncer." 

"Of course Mr. Carlile! After all this is a family welcoming isn't it?"  

"Yes ma'am it is. It's for his little girl Natalie." I replied jerking a thumb over to Alan.  

"Actually our little girl.I mean along with my girlfriend Sky of course." Alan quickly replied. The manager smiled and nodded. 

"Alrighty then. How does nine sound? Is that alright?" 

"That's perfect!" Alan shrieked. I laughed and said thank you to the manager, waving goodbye as we made our way over to our party room. My eyes scanned the room looking for my special girl, as did Alan's looking for his little family. It's incredible to watch him go from worried and sad to happy and lovey, all because of those two girls. I just don't know what we're gonna do when It's time for us to leave and Not have Nat go with us... She's already apart of our family and How are Sky and Alan gonna take it? Maybe we can arrange flights every two weeks or so, so we can finally be with her. I felt a familiar little body shaking me from my thoughts, looking down I realised it was the love of my life.  

"Hey babe. Is everything Alright? You seem a bit... lost." Bridget asked voice dripping with concern. I smiled down at her and kissed her nose.  

"Everything is alright just thinking about when we have to leave..." I sighed knowing we'll have to go without Nat. 

"Don't worry about that. Worry about now and the next few days we still have with her. We'll figure something out." She smiled sweetly at me, as she tangled our fingers together. "Now do you have her necklace and bracelet? Along with Sky's and the rest of ours?" I smiled and nodded, letting her lead me to the table where everyone was.
