Meet My Dedication

Austin’s POV


I walked in to the house smelling like bleach and pinesol, and Mikey hugging her knees on the floor in the middle of the kitchen. My heart sank as I raced to her side. “What’s wrong? Did Dr. Mumford call? What did she say?”
I couldn’t tell if she was crying, she just fell limp into my arms.
“What is it baby?” I picked her up and carried her to the couch, having her sit on my lap. “What’s wrong?”
She sniffled and wiped her eyes, she had been crying. “Nothing, Austin,” she smiled weakly and wrapped her arms around my neck. “The lab results all turned out great, I’m perfectly healthy.”
“I don’t understand, then. Why have you been getting sick and not been sleeping well? Why were you crying?” I was terribly confused, she looked so happy.
“Austin… we’re going to have a baby!” She jumped off of me and got on her knees, next to me.
I was glad I was sitting down, otherwise I would have fallen over.

Mikey’s POV

I decided not to worry too much about it, we were going to be just fine, and Austin would make an amazing father. Austin’s face was absolutely priceless when I told him.
He looked down at me, with the biggest smile I’ve ever seen him give.
“You’re… You’re pregnant?” I nodded.
“Congratulations, daddy,” I winked and brought him to his feet. He picked mer up and spun us around, both of us laughing.
“I’m gonna be a dad!” He was beaming, saying how he had to call his dad, and Alan, and all the guys. “This is amazing, Mikey! We’re going to be parents!”
He set me down and suddenly the smile that I thought was permanently etched onto his face had faded.
“What’s wrong?” Worry instantly took over
“We got asked to play at Warped this year. I told the guys I had to make sure everything was alright with you, first.” He hugged me close, until I felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. “It’s my dad. Hold on, okay?”
I nodded and let go of him, letting him go onto the back patio to talk with his dad. We had planned to leave tomorrow morning, and we still needed to pack for this week. I headed into my room to start packing my clothes and items I figured I needed for our mini vacation.

Austin’s POV


“Hey dad!” I answered, “What’s up old man?”
I loved my dad more than anything in this world, and all I wanted to do was tell him about Mikey and I’s new addition.
“Nothing much, son, I saw you called. I’m sorry I haven’t gotten in touch sooner, how are you and your girlfriend?” He sounded tired, but it’s probably from work.
“We’re great, and we’re looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!” I heard him chuckle.
“I’m excited to finally meet her; a whole year and not one visit?” I had felt bad about that, but I had good reasons to not go anywhere with her yet, we were still trying to get situated, and she had started working, and then the whole Daniel thing.
“It’s been a little bit busy around here, dad. Besides, visiting works both ways,” I laughed, knowing he was still a busy man with work and whatnot.
“Working hard, my son,” he said, “not all of us can be successful rock stars like you, you know.”
“I know dad,” I looked back at my emails, double checking our flight information. “You still good on picking us up tomorrow from the air port?”
“As good as I’ll ever be, I’m just straightening the place up a little bit, for you all.”
“Great, I’ve got loads to tell you when we come visit!” I smiled, “love you dad.”
“Love you too, kiddo. Say hi to Mikey for me.”
“I will,” I hung up and made my way back inside.
Mikey was in her room singing to herself while finishing up packing, when I realized I needed to do the same thing.
I came up from behind her and wrapped my arms around her, holding onto her stomach and kissing her shoulder. “I love you,” I said in between kisses.
I felt her smile, “I love you too.” She looked down and placed her hands on top of mine. “I can’t believe I didn’t even notice that I hadn’t had my period in two months...”
“I’m just happy you’re not sick,” I laid my head on her shoulder and held her there for a moment or two.
“Me too,” she rested her head on mine. “How’s your dad?”
“He’s great, and totally ready to meet you.”
“Are we going to tell him?” She looked down at our hands, and I kissed her shoulder again.
“Only if you want to, and can tell everyone tonight, before we leave. Or we can wait; it’s your call, my love.”
“I think we should wait to tell everyone else, until after our check up in the next couple of weeks.” She took my hand and kissed it, “but I want to tell your dad this week, while we visit him.”
“Sounds wonderful, now let’s finish packing!” I got up and started for our room to get my suitcase and threw in a bunch of clothes from my closet, while she stayed in her room, folding things and putting them into her own suitcase.
