"So, guys. I took a decision that I know you didn't want me to take." My father started to speak. Alex and I exchanged a look before turning our attention back to my dad. "I bought the house on Valley Ave. I know both of you liked the house yet didn't want me to buy it. It's my present for the wedding, for you three." He finished. I shook my head in disapproval, yet I couldn't help but stand up and hug him.
No sooner everybody was here, helping to pack. Austin, Robert, and Zach are going to keep the apartment.They refused to letting me help and no more than five minutes, they were complaining that they were tired. I shook my head before making my way to my room and started packing clothes. It was around 5pm when we actually finished packing. I don't know exactly how it took that long but it did. The guys started filling up Austin's car with boxes and we were on our way to the house.
I sat on our new couch as I 'observed' the guys place things down. And when I say guys I mean, Austin, Kendall, Logan and James. Everybody else like Alex, Zach, Robert and Carlos went to go play. When I mean play I mean actual play, they went to the local park to play basketball and skate around. It pretty much annoyed me, my dad bought this house for Alex and I. Yet, Alex isn't even here. I was mad but I wasn't pissed. I get it, he's still a kid at heart. He's not ready for this obstacle in life. I sighed and ran my hands over my face a couple of times. I decided it was time to get up and go find something to eat. I could hear footsteps following me, I turned around and saw Kendall. "Hey there's no food in the fridge. Logan and James went to the grocery store. Austin and I were about to ask you if you wanted to go out and get take out?" He asked. I nodded and we made our way to the car. I sat in the back of Austin's car. During the whole car ride, i kept to myself. I was a little disappointed in Alex. Austin knew this. I didn't tell him, but he could sense my quietness.
We pulled up at Baker's. I knew the guys would come here. They took the orders and we all sat down to eat. Austin and Kendall were trying to hold a conversation, but I kept delaying. They kept trying and gave up. The three of us were consumed by silence. As we came to an end of eating, we threw our trash into the trash bins and went back to the car. The car was silent between us, yet there was subtle noise coming from the radio. When we arrived home, James and Logan finished unpacking and were chilling on the couch watching TV. I smiled at them and gave them a 'thank you' before going back upstairs to unpack our clothes. I heard rustling coming from the other rooms. I slowly got up to investigate. When I opened the white door, that separates our room from the hallway, James was standing there looking at me. "Sorry! You may not leave this room til we say so. So go back and do what ever you were doing." He smile brightly at me before closing the door.
"James! Open this door!" I yelled and banged my fists against the door. He just chuckled and refused to let me leave. I gave up, eventually, and laid down on my bed. I had just finished unpacking before the noise started happening. I laid a hand on my belly and smiled down at it.The door slowly creaked open, revealing Alex covered in different colored paints. He gave me a sly smile while making his way over to me. I rolled my eyes and turned over to have my back facing him.
"Ally I'm sorry I wasn't here to finish unpacking, but I have a s-" Before he could go on, I interrupted him.
"No Alex. I'm sorry you can't take responsibility and take care of your family instead of going out and having fun!" I yelled at him, finally deciding to face him. His chocolate brown eyes were filling with sadness.
"Please listen to me!" He yelled. I was taken back by this. He never yells at me or anything. I'm just getting so worked up. Instead of anger, I was starting to feel sad and scared. He was now looking regretful. "Boo, I'm sorry I yelled." He said coming closer to me. I sighed and nodded. I didn't want to fight with him, three days before he leaves for Austin's tour. He'll be gone for 3 months. "As I was saying Zach, Robert, Carlos and I were working on a surprise. C'mon, we want to show you." He held my hand and pulled me out of the room to a room across from ours. The door was painted grey, he looked over to me before opening the door. As I stepped inside, I was met by the guys just lounging around. The room was a baby blue color, there was a crib set up and rocking chair. Clothes and any other articles for the baby was there and all set. Tears were rimmed in my eyes. I turned to Alex and he had a huge smile on his face. I took a step to hug him, but stopped when I felt a movement in my belly. A small pain rushed through.
"Ouch!" I grumbled as I held my belly. The eight boys were around me in seconds. Their eyes were frantic as they looked at me. Alex was a tad bit more worried. They were just yelling things like 'are you okay?' 'do you need a doctor?'. Things like that. I felt the movement again and smiled. The guys stopped talking. "Austin kicked me." I said out of breath. Everybody turned to Austin.
"I didn't do anything!" He yelled frantically "She's lying!" I gave a chuckle before speaking again.
"I meant baby Austin!" I smiled through that whole sentence. I reached out over to grab a hold of Alex's hand. He hesitantly placed it on my belly. Once he did, baby Austin moved around again.
"He's moving!" Alex's voice was laced with happiness. All of them wanted to try but I refused. I was actually feeling really tired. I stalked to the bedroom and laid on the bed. The guys were spending the night so Alex was downstairs helping them set up. My eyes were growing heavy with sleep.

In a blink of an eye, three days passed by. Right now it was 7 in the morning and Alex and I are trying to get any time for ourselves. Right now we were cuddled up on the couch waiting for Austin's tour bus to pass by. My mind kept wondering off on how hard it would not to be with him. I just wished that he would be home on time for the arrival of our son. I looked up at Alex and he was already looking at me. I gently placed a kiss on his cheek. A smile grew on him face. when I did. He started leaning in for a kiss when there was a loud honk coming from outside. I felt the tears threatening to spill. "I guess it's time for me to go." He said warily. We both stood up and walked to the front door. When I pulled the door open, Kendall was standing taking to Austin near the bus. I guess it's time for our goodbyes.I turned to look up at him. He looked down at me with a sad smile. "Hey, boo I'm going to miss you. But don't worry these three months will pass by quick!" He tried to cheer me up.
"Not fast enough." I mumbled. I didn't say another word, I stepped forward and hugged him tight. He did the same. I felt like never letting him go, I decided it was enough. I slowly stepped away, a stray tear was rolling down his cheek. I slowly reached over and wiped it away. "It's just three months." I said in a low whisper. He gave a sly smile before laying a small kiss against my lips. i with no hesitation kissed back. He slowly pulled away and made his way over to the bus. I kept my place at the front door, refusing to let myself break down. Alex turned around lookng at me before entering the bus. Austin ran out to give me a last hug before going on tour. He returned to the bus. Kendall was at my side in seconds. He wrapped an arm around my shoulders as we watched the bus pull away. The longest three months of my life, I would not be able to see the love of my life.
