Unforgettable: Sequel to Tough Love

Ch. 17: Big Smiles

"Annie! Where are you?" I called.

"Outside!" She answered.

I followed the muddy prints out the door and found Annie and the puppy playing in the dirt.

"Annie! Get out of the mud! Look how dirty you are!"

She looks at herself and shrugs, "So?"

I roll my eyes, "Come here!" I demanded.

She shakes her head, "No way this is fun!" She protests.

"Annie! I said to come here!" I grumbled hating to repeat myself. God I hate getting mad at her.

Annie rolls her eyes and finally comes over to me.

I grab her hand and lead her to the bathroom, "Now you have to take a bath."

She groans, "I don't wanna take a bath." She whines tilting her head back.

I start the water and allow the bathtub to fill up.

She undresses and sits in the warm tub, "Why do you always watch me when I take a bath?" She asks.

"So you don't drown." I say.

"I'm not that dumb." She replies, playing in the bubbles.

"Accidents happen. I won't watch you when your older so don't worry." I assured her.

She giggles, "Well that's good....I love you mommy." She says.

I smile, "I love you too."

<~Austin's POV:
After all the boxes and furniture had been brought in I took a chance to notice all the mud on the floor. Wow we've lived her for not even a day and it's already a mess.

I looked around for Annie and Ally, but couldn't find them anywhere.

I heard the bathtub running and decided to look there.

I walked into the bathroom and Annie let out an ear piercing scream.

"Daddy get out!!!" She squealed and dived under water.

"Annie don't scream like that." Ally says.

"But I don't want daddy in here! He's a boy!" Annie complained.

"Sweetheart, daddy has seen you naked before." Ally tells her and Annie's eyes go wide.

"What!" Annie shouts loudly. And I leave before I have to hear anymore screaming.

I heard Pinkie barking at something outside and went to investigate.

The dumb dog was only barking at some bird in a nest.

"Be quiet." I scolded and Pinkie continued to bark. I frowned and picked up the barking dog, she was all dirty.

Pinkie began to lick my cheek which caused me to mistakingly drop her. The little pup yelped as she hit the hard ground.

"Oh shit.." I whispered when Pinkie didn't start running around playfully again, "C'mon your fine..."

Pinkie laid on the grass whining. I felt really guilty...but she'll be fine right?

"PINKIE! C'mon lets play!" I heard Annie calling for Pinkie. Oh no...

Pinkie's ears perked up when she heard Annie's voice. She got up and started limping in the direction of Annie's voice.

Annie ran out the door and discovered her beloved pet was hurt.

"Daddy, why is Pinkie limping?" She asks, her innocent brown eyes were starring into mine.

I felt more and more guilty as another second passes by. How am I supposed to tell my daughter I dropped her puppy?

Ally walks outside and sees us, "Whats wrong?" She asks.

"Pinkie is limping." Annie sniffles, she looked like she could cry.

"I'm sure she'll be fine. She just needs some rest. Why don't you go make a bed for Pinkie inside." Ally suggested.

"Okay mommy." Annie agrees. She then carries Pinkie inside.

Ally places a hand on my shoulder, "Austin are you okay?" She asks.

I stay quiet.

"Your not sad about the dog are you, Pinkie will be fine." Ally assures me.

"No...it's just...I'm the reason she's limping." I sigh, it felt good to let the truth out.

"What?" Ally asks again.

"I accidentally dropped her." I admit.

Ally sighs, "Don't feel so bad...Pinkie is going to be fine. I won't tell Annie."

I smile and hug her tightly. Ally just has a special power to always make people feel better. I kiss the top of her head and she leans against my side.

"Why are you so perfect?" I whisper in her ear.

She laughs, "Don't you mean far from perfect?"

I shake my head, "No...I mean perfect, because your perfect and I love you so much." I say and place my hands on our baby.

"Ow." Ally says wincing slightly.

"What's wrong!" I ask getting worried. I had turned into my protective self.

Ally tries laughing, "It's fine...the baby just kicked."

Relief washes over me, "Does it really hurt that bad?" I ask curiously.

"Not too bad...you get used to it, and then it just tickles." Ally says placing my hands back on her enlarged stomach.

Even I could feel the baby kicking, "I can feel it too."

She smiles, "He likes you."

"Nah, he likes us both." I reply.

"He only kicks when you have your hands on my stomach." Ally explains.

I smile and Annie comes back outside, "I wanna feel my baby brother kick." She says obviously eavesdropping.

Ally and I laugh, "C'mere then." I say.

Annie smiles and comes up to Ally and I. I gently grab her hand and place it on Ally's stomach. Suddenly a huge smile appears on her face and her mouth drops open, "I can feel it." She whispers excitedly. "That means he likes you." Ally says and her smile gets even bigger.
