Faith - An Auslly Story

Sunday Morning

Ally:

I rolled over onto my side and got a fright when I saw the empty space in the bed.

I got up and picked up Harmony from her crib.
"You hungry baby girl? We gotta go look for daddy first." That didn't take long, I found both Austin and Dez right where I left them. Asleep on the couch, they has sprawled out across each other on the one small couch. I closed the door and went to check on Beth, she was wide awake sitting up in the bed.
"Morning."

"Hey Ally, wheres Dez?"

"Oh he's asleep on the couch with Austin."

"Aw, what time did they go asleep?"

"I have no idea, do you want any breakfast? "

"I'd love some actually, I'm starving."

"Okay cool, I'll make some pancakes. Dez is asleep down the hall if you want to get him. "

I made a bottle and fed Harmony before I began making the pancakes, as she sat in her little swingy chair. Beth came in holding Dez's hand and sat down at the table. Austin followed them in about 10 minutes later.

"Do I smell pancakes?" He asked in his sleepy voice, he walked over and picked Harmony up before hugging the two of us. You could tell that Dez and Beth were watching us, not knowing what to expect in the next few months.

I began chatting to them.

" So what are you planning on doing today guys? "

"Nothing."

"Okay, well Austin and I were going to bring Harmony for a picnic, you guys coming?"

" Well actually, we kinda need to look for an apartment."

"Don't be stupid, stay here a week or two until everything settles down. Okay? "

" Yeah totally guys, we love having you here. " Austin agreed.

Beth and Dez both stood up and hugged us.

"Thank you both so so much. You have no idea how much this means to us."

"Buddy you know I've always got your back, and Beth you were the reason I got to the hospital the day Harmony was born."

She smiled shyly, " thank you so much guys, but we'll pay a rent and we'll do chores and.."

" Beth, honestly if I need a hand with something I will ask you. Theres absolutely no need for rent money " I cut her off.

' No, Ally we have to help you some way. '

' Mind Harmony for me a couple of times, and consider it done. Beth, honestly I am glad to be able to help you. Now come on,we're bringing Harmony for a picnic '
