" oh My God" he said

He picked her up and went down stairs fast yet careful

"ALLY! ALLY! ALLY!" He called

" what?" She panicked

" GUESS WHAT!" he said

" oh hey Trish, hey Max!" He greeted him

" what's up with you?" Trish asked " gimme my baby"

Trish cooed and kissed the baby

" Ava just smiled at me, not once, BUT TWICE!!" He said

" What?" Ally said " no way!"

" SHE DID I SWEAR! I was just talking to her and she just smiled and went ' goo'.." he said " but a lot cuter!"

" really?" Ally said " well make her smile again"

Austin smiled at his daughter " can you smile? Ava can I get another smile?"

Ava gave him a blank expression

" come on! I'm not crazy.." he smiled at her again

Again no smile

" she's messing with me.." he said

" maybe she didn't smile.." Trish said

" she did! I swear!" Austin said

" okay, honey come on let's get dressed now that Trish is here" ally said
...
" ally I swear she smiled! Like twice, while I was getting her dressed it was the cutest smile ever.. don't you believe me?" He asked

She fixed his tie " I believe that you're insane for still obsessing over it, until I see her do it my self then I don't believe you"

He sighed " that's annoying.. she's messing with me.. and I know it"

" honey she's a baby, she's not messing with you" ally assured him

" there, all done.. man you look so handsome" she smiled at him and held his waist

" this is not the time to get into my pants.." he joked

She smiled and touched his face " uh who said I wanted to get into your pants?"

" you don't gotta say it" he smiled and winking at her

She and took his hand " come on I think more people are here"
...
