Desire 2

Chapter Forty-Nine

We drove through Miami in the middle of the night with almost nothing to even remind us that it was 3am. There were almost no cars on the interstate which was exceptionally different from downtown Miami's traffic. 

Austin drove, quickly but careful as I sat in the passenger seat, my hand thrown over the middle conpartment of the range rover. He briefly looked over at me before grabbing my hand in his and lacing our fingers together before pulling it up to his mouth and placing a kiss on it. 

Austin took a turn down the hospital exit and pulled into a McDonald's parking lot and entered the drive through line. 

"What are we doing?" I asked. 

"Getting food?" he laughed, "Don't act like you're not starving," 

I smiled up at him as he moved closer to the car in front of him. 

"Why don't you call your brother and ask him if he wants anything?" he suggested as I quickly dialed his number and raised the phone to my ear. 

"Are you almost here?" 

"Yeah. We decided to stop for some food and we're wondering if you wanted anything to eat," I spoke, suddenly realizing that Matt currently hated Austin and was going to beat me when he found out that I had been with him at 3am. 

"Wait, you and who?" 

"Okay we are literally at the drive thru right now so if you want something, it's now or never," I urged. 

"Get me an egg Mcmuffin meal with a very large coffee with cream and sugar," he finished as I repeated the order to Austin and told him my order. 

"Okay. Now who are you with at 3am in the morning?" 

"Matt, can we please talk about this later?" I insisted more than suggested. 

"Yeah, I guess. Just hurry up and get here please," 

"We're going as fast as we can," I finished before hanging up.

"He sound like he's a wreck," I began as we sat waiting to reach the first window. 

"Really?" 

"Yeah. Anna's probably beating him as we speak so I mean, I understand," 

He chuckled at the words before pulling up to the first window and paying for the food. 

"So, are you ready?" 

"Ready for what?" I asked in a laugh. 

"To be an aunt?" 

"Yeah. I don't know. It's weird I guess. It's only ever been Matt and I. And for a while it was Matt, Anna and I. Now it's gonna be Matt, Anna, the twins and I. It just started out so little and it tripled," I stated, realizing that I had teared up thinking about it. 

"Hey," he spoke, reaching for my hand and pulling my face to his, "First of all, it's amazing that you're family is growing. Second of all, I'm sure you're going to be one badass aunt regardless," 

I smiled up at him as he turned to reach the next window and watched him as he was handed all of the food and coffees. We arranged the food and drinks and began towards the hospital.

"You brought Austin here?! What the hell were you two doing at 3am?" He almost screamed outside Anna's hospital room. 

"Shhhh!" I whispered, "He'll hear you!" 

"Good! What were you two together for?" 

"We had a date and we fell asleep!" 

"A date?" he laughed, "That's awesome. Why in the hell would you ever want to date that guy again?" 

"Listen, if you want to be pissed at me, be pissed at me when all this is over. But until then, please be civil. If you don't ever do anything else for me, just be nice until Anna's home and you have your kids and then we can talk about this," 

He pondered the idea for a moment, a look of disappointment flashing over his face. 

"Only because he bought McDonalds for me. Because Anna never let me eat McDonalds because she couldn't have it," he finished, snatching the bag from my hand and taking it back inside the hospital room as I smirked, walking behind him. 

"Hey, Anna," I smiled, observing her laying in the bed, "How are you feeling?"

"Like someone is stabbing me in the back with pitchforks repeatedly. 

"She's having some severe contractions," Matt added. 

"I can speak for myself Matt! I don't need you to put words in my mouth," she yelled as I smiled, looking at Matt who wore a look of complete annoyance. 

"Okay honey," he finished. 

"And I told you never to eat Mcdonalds! It's terrible for you! What is wrong with you? Why are you being this way?" Anna screamed, throwing a pillow at Matt as I smiled in amazement. 

"Anna! Calm down!" he shouted in a pleading tone. 

"You did this to me!" she screamed and pointed towards her belly. 

"Okay," I laughed, "I'm gonna go, anywhere but here,"I stepped out of the doorway and turned back to see Matt grip onto my wrist. 

"No, God. Please don't leave me with her," he begged. 

"Have fun," I winked before closing the door behind me as I walked further down the hall.
