Taken {Austin McBroom}

•Chapter 12•

3 MONTHS LATER
We left and as the months went on we told both my family and his the summary of the story. It definitely took them a while to warm up to me because their first impression of us together was everything but good but they seem to like me now. My family likes Austin, at first they thought he was a player/fuck-boy but they see how much he loves me. Catherine is doing a whole lot better, they worked out a whole schedule with Elle and things finally seemed to be on the right path when it came to our personal lives. Catherine and I had even some-what began repairing our friend-ship, and I was so grateful for that.
Our fans on the other hand had so many questions and none of them which we were answering. They didn't even know I was pregnant yet but today was the day we were finally going to make an explanation video, the 3 of us.
Catherine: You guys' ready for this?
Austin: No
Maia: Not at all
Catherine: Me either.
Maia: Well to my portion of the audience I know I've been gone for a long time but as you can see I'm alive and pregnant.
Catherine: And to our portion we're also alive and not pregnant and also no longer together. Too much surprise Austin and Maia had been seeing each other for quite some time and he is the father of her child.
We proceeded to apologize and try to tell what we've been going through in a summary these past couple of months and how hard it's been to adjust.
Maia: Ever since I've been living with Austin we've had moments where it's been like damn what the hell did we do or are we doing?
Catherine: And this video had to wait until all of us were back to being as mentally and emotionally stable as possible. It's all been a huge adjustment with Elle and getting used to being in a new house and thinking about how things are going to be in the future.
Austin: Yea because the amount of hate we're about to get from this video is ridiculous. Obviously I feel the majority of it will be targeted at Maia & me.
Catherine: But during our relationship I did notice that so many of you guys' shipped Maia and Austin together and it was really a lot.
Maia: There's not really anything we can say either...what we did was wrong.... a lot of you aren't going to agree with the fact that we're together now but it happened. We're all starting to get to a point to where we know we can get back to being happy again, are we happy now-
Austin: We are but we're definitely not as happy as we could be or used to be-
Catherine: But we're getting there. I would like to ask you guys to please not attack any of us for your opinions, like they said what they did was wrong but they shouldn't have to pay for it every day of their lives. I can say that I'm happy that they are finally getting to be happy because for a while things have been rough on them.
Maia: This video has been trying to minimize doing multiple videos in the future. We're trying to tell you what happened and answer any questions that you may have.
Austin: We're obviously not going to answer all questions because-well if you have literally ALL the information then I think we'd have even more backlash I guess is what I'm trying to say.
Catherine: To the former ACE family watchers as you know we decided I would take the channel over, it'll still be vlogging. Some fashion, daily life, advice, vlogs, and stuff like that. Austin is still indecisive about whether he wants to start a channel of his own but once we all get back to our uploading schedule he'll be featured on Maia's channel frequently.
Maia: And I do plan on filming a video dedicated to questions about my pregnancy and I promise you all that I will capture the rest of my pregnancy for you all on camera.
Austin: A lot of you may still be confused after this damn near hour long video and shit we still kinda confused but we just want you all to continue to support us and love us and figure it out with us as we go along.
Catherine: We love you all and I cannot stress the importance of not bashing Maia and Austin! Please keep your opinions and comments to yourself because you guys can be super hurtful and her pregnancy has been stressful enough already and I do not wish any harm on her because I still love her greatly and I will always have love for Austin.
Austin: We're not editing this video so if you've made it this far than you've made it to the end and...
All 3: we love you guys...
After uploading it I felt like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders, it was obviously very controversial and a lot of people had their say so about it. We all had to keep moving and keep the promises that we'd made in that video, and that was to return back to social-media/the internet. We were trending #1 and #2 on Youtube for 1 whole month and that was literally every video we uploaded. My pregnancy update, Catherine's vlogs and updates she was providing. We were the hot topic and I was so grateful and surprised so many people were still supporting me and showing me love.
We did a gender reveal, a baby-shower, and we welcomed our baby-girl Leila Dior McBroom. He was right...we made it through this together.
