I am curently sitting in Dan's living room while he, and Austin are at a baseball game. This week has been a pretty eventful week. Dan is a realy cool dad. He is always reminding Austin how proud he is of him, and how his mother would be so proud of the young gentlemen he has become, and telling him that he is going to make an excellent father. Not only that, but hes aso always reminding me how Austin's mother would be so happy to meet me, and how much she would apporve of me, and that she woud be excited for all of us that we are having a baby girl. He has told me quite a few times that he knows that i am going to be the best mother possible for this baby. Dan is extremely supportive about our desions, and how we plan to love our lives. Knowing that he likes me makes me beyond happy. It is no longer a worry for me that he wasn't going to be happy about us having a baby before we are even thinking about getting married. We have been here for, four days, and I am enjoying every bit of it.

I hear a car door shutting, and some manly laughter, letting me know that Dan, and Austin are home. I turn my attention to the door waiting for the two of them to come waltzing through the door.

"Hello babe," Austin says as he walks through the door with a smile on his face.

"Hey guys," I say back to them as Dan greets my back, and heads into the kitchen pulling out a beer for him, and a beer for Austin.

They come into the living room, and Austin sits next to me, and Dan sits on the couch in front of us.

"So, Lindsay, Austin tells me that you've been into photography, and you've been selling prints online?" He asks.

"Yes I have. I'm loving every minute of it," I tell him with a giant smile on my face.

I love when people ask me abut photography, because it aways makes me happy knowing people acknowledge the fact that I am actually in the photography buisness.

"I was wondering, since I don't exactly have any recent pictures of Austin hanging around any where if you would mind making me a coupe prints of him, and letting me buy them from me, does that sound okay?"

"Sounds great, but you don't have to pay me, its not like its something I hate doing, I'll just mail them to you or something," I tell him laughing.

"Well I was actually wondering if maybe around the week you are due to have the little one, I can fly down, and visit for a little bit, and you could just give them to me then?"

Austin, and I look at each other with smiles on our faces.

"That would be just perfectly fine," Austin says with a huge smile etched across his face," I.ll book you a flight now," he says sliding my laptop off my lap.

Dan chuckles and shakes his head.

** Two Hours Later**

"I'm tired, I think I am going to go hit the sack," Austin says, "you coming?" Austin says looking at me.

"I think I am going to finsih my drink, and I'll come back when I'm finsihed I tell him blowing him a kiss."

He nods his head, and disappears into the hallway.

"Oh, I figured you'd go back with him, instead of spending time with little ole me," Dan says winking.

"Well, you and I haven't really talked so I figured since hes going to bed so early it wouldnt be a bad idea," I say

"Can I talk to you about Austin?"

"Yeah of course."

"He really loves you. Like really loves you. I have never seen him so happy before the two of you guys met. You've really bought the happiness out of him. He used to be upset, and dull all the time but now hes more lively, and more colorful. And I want to thank you for that because it means all the world to me to see him happy again. He has non stop talked about you, and the baby the entire time we were out. And I really am excited for the little one, and if the two of you ever need anything, make sure to come to me first. Lindsay, I really think that you are going to be an amazing mother, and Austin has told me that you were really nervous to come this week because you didn't have any clue how I was going to react about the pregnacy. And I want you to know that I am not at all mad about you, and Austin not being married because I know the two of you are serious, and I know that neither of you are going anywhere anytime soon. I see the way he looks at you. I know he loves you, because he looks at you the same way I looked at my wife. I reallly wish she were still here to see you, and meet you because I know she would absolutly love you to pieces. you are going to be a great mother, and any time you need anything, you can come to me. Now go get some sleep." He says getting up, and hugging me goodnight, "sleep well.

** Three days later.**

"See you soon!" Austin's dad yells as we get into the taxi, "love you!"

We wave as we pull away, and Austin grabs my hand with a sad smile on his face.

"What's wrong?" I ask him as he leans his head back.

"I'm always missing him. It sucks that he has to live so far from us. He's not going to be seeing the little one growing up, and seeing her all the time,"

"Well maybe we can convince him to move down here. We can get him to move down to La or something. He can get an apartment, and come visit whenever."

He nods, and squeezes my hand, "let's talk to him when he comes down for the baby."

I nod my head and rest my head on his shoulder, and before I know it we are arriving at the airport. Were a bit late because we didn't want to leave Dan at his house. We get ready, and go inside the terminal with our coffee. I couldn't help it and got two because I couldn't decide which one I wanted. After about a half an hour we board the plane, and get in our seats. It's much easier for me this time because I've sort of gotten used to it. As the plane takes of I bit my lip hard, as I don't feel to great in my stomach.

** a little while later **

I sit Indian style with my arms propped on my stomach. Austin sits next to me as we watch movies. I feel some movement going around inside of me, and before I know it she kicks.

"A-Austin?" I stutter out with a smile on my face.

"What's wrong?" He asks in a hurry.

I quickly grab his hand placing it to my stomach, waiting for her to kick again. Not much time later, she does, causing Austin's face to light up a huge bit. We sit there for what seems like forever talking about her, and talking to her. And it seems perfect for a while. But everything perfect has to end.
