No Place Like Home

Chapter 21

Austin's POV
Tap. Tap. Tap.
I'm awoken by the sound of someone knocking on our door.
I hazily sit up and check my phone, 1:03.
"Come in." I say softly, not wanting to wake Ally up.
A nurse around my and Ally's age walks in, "Sorry Mr. Moon. I just need to check Mrs. Moon's IV."
I nod my head as she comes on in.
She replaces the drip with a new bag and then turns to leave. Before she closes the door, she looks back at us, "Mr. Moon, love your and your wife's music by the way."
"Thanks." I say as she ducks into the hallway and lightly closes the door behind her.
I look down at my lovely wife as she sleeps. God, please let everything be okay.
I gently brush her hair from her face and plant a kiss on her forehead. She curls up and lays her head in my lap as I look at my phone again to find I have a text from Trish.
Hey, how's everything going? 12:48.
I quickly reply back, Still awaiting the results. Ally's asleep & they have her on an IV. Hopefully it won't be much longer. How's Kins?
A few minutes later, I get a reply, She's been sound asleep since 9:30. Me & Jace can keep her for the night if you need us to.
I smile at my phone and send her a text back, That'd be really helpful, thx Trish. Idk what time we'll be out of here.
A couple of moments later, Ally begins to stir, ""Austin?"
"I'm right here." I say, running a hand up and down her arm. She sits up and leans on my arm.
"What time is it?"
"1:10" I tell her.
"How much longer do you think we'll be here?" She tiredly asks.
"I don't kno-" I am cut short by the door opening.
In walks Dr. Matthews, the physician that had seen Ally nearly three hours ago.
"Mr., Mrs. Moon." He says giving us a nod.
I reciprocate with a smile, waiting for him to continue.
"Well, nothing is seriously ill with Mrs. Moon. She has anemia." He tells us.
"Anemia?" Ally asks.
"Yes, it's an iron deficiency. The lack of iron in your blood is leading to the decrease of red blood cells that are being produced within your body. This can lead to fatigue, lightheadedness, low blood pressure, dizziness, etc. This is what lead to your fainting spell Mrs. Moon."
Ally takes a deep, shaky breath while looking at the clipboard in the doctor's hand. I wrap my arm around her, sensing the need to comfort her.
"I'll prescribe you some iron supplements for the week, but don't worry Mrs. Moon, anemia is a common side effect in your condition."
Me and Ally exchanged confused glances, "My condition?"
"Yes. Many pregnancies involve iron deficiencies. It's nothing to be concerned about." Dr. Matthews tells her.
A hand instantly goes to cover Ally's agape mouth. We sit there, both in shock.
"She- she's pregnant?" I ask the doctor.
"Why yes, did you not know?"
We both shake our heads, and a smile cracks across Dr. Matthew's face, "Well, congratulations!"
"Thank you." I state, trying to grasp hold of what he has just said.
"I suggest you schedule an appointment with an OBGYN then Mrs. Moon. Do you have one?"
Ally removes her hand to answer the doctor, "Y-yes."
Dr. Matthews smiles again and then takes another glance at Ally, "Well, I'll let you two have some time. I'll send in the nurse with your release papers."
I nod my head and he comes over and holds out his hand, "Congratulations again, and have a good night."
"You too." I tell him as he leaves and shuts the door behind him.
I run a hand through my hair and look over at Ally, tears sparkling in her eyes.
"Alls, we're going to have another baby!"
"I know, I just found out." She says, a smile growing across her face.
"Oh Ally." I say, enveloping her into a hug.
"I love you Austin."
"I love you too darling." I tell her, kissing her head.

Ally's POV
I walked out of the hospital, my hand in Austin's. It may have been two in the morning, but I had never been so elated.
We had been given another chance. We were going to have another baby!
We both get into our car, and buckle up. Before Austin ignites the engine, I feel his hand on my cheek.
I look over to see his face, pure happiness. He slowly leans over and kisses me breathless under the moonlight.
"Ally, I just can't get over it." He tells me once we pull apart.
"I know." I tell him, a tear effortlessly running down my cheek. He kisses it away and then turns to crank the car.

When we eventually pass Trish's on the way home, I glance over at Austin, "Are we going to pick up Kinsley?"
"We'll get her in the morning. Trish said they could keep her tonight since we would probably be getting in so late."
"Okay." I tell him as I lay my head against the cool window.
A few moments of silence pass and we are pulling into our driveway.

A yawn escapes my lips as we walk into our darkened house.
I slowly make my way up the stairs and into our bedroom as Austin locks up downstairs.
I walk into our bathroom and begin to wet my arm, trying to make it less painful when I take the bandage off that covered where the IV had been.
I begin to worry as I let the warm water trickle over my skin. Please God, don't let me miscarry again.
A tear trickles down my face, mimicking the water flowing down my arm.
That's when Austin appears behind me and slinks his arms around me.
He looks into the mirror and notices the tear moving along my jawline. "Alls?"
I rip the bandage off, unaware of the pain on my arm, masked by the pain I'm feeling inside.
I break away from Austin and throw it in the garbage as he turns the sink off.
"Babe, what is it?" He asks, taking my hand.
I turn off the bathroom light and walk him over to our bed where we sit. "I, I just don't want it to turn out like last time." I confess.
"Ally, last time was totally different. We weren't at home, we were in another country, and you were having to go out and sing every night. Don't worry, I'm going to make sure you take it easy this time around."
"I'm going to make sure I take it easy; I don't want to go through that again." I tell him.
"And you're not going to, ever again. Alls, relax. We're home."
I nod my head and crawl into bed. Austin does the same and wraps his arm around my waist.
I lean my head against his and smile, "There's no place like home is there Austy?"
A yawn escapes his lips and he smiles back at me, "Nope, there's no place like home."
