Ava shuddered and makes a hysterical face
Her parents got a kick out of it, and would playfully do it just to get her reaction

" hahah it never gets old!" Ally said

Ava splashes the water

" it's too cute.." he said " hey can we talk after?"

He watched Ava enjoying her bath time

Ally stops lathering Ava's sudsy hair and looks at him curiously " what did you do?"

" what do you mean, I wanna talk to you" He said

" usually you either one do something stupid, two you're probably finally tired of me, and wanna break up or something, or three, you'll say something that's got me like woah Austin let's not!" She said

" uh I can assure you it's not the second option." He said he looked at her weirdly

" ahhhhhhhh.. baaaa" Ava said interrupting them she began to whine due to getting cold

They looked at her then back at each other

" that Ally-tude" he shook his head

" no she's just cold" she said taking Ava out

She hands the baby wrapped in a duck hooded towel that she got for Christmas and headed to the room

" okay what is it?" She asked

He sighed " I don't know how to put this, because I don't know how you're going to react"

He looked up at her " but.. ugh stay still.."

Ava rolled around trying to escape from her father dressing her..

" how about you dress her, I'm gonna shower and then after, you can tell me what's on your mind." She said " because clearly you're losing a battle right now.."

" this was much easier when she couldn't move around" he said
...
Ally returns from her shower and picks up her baby right away to feed her before she went to sleep

She sat in Ava's room

" hey." He said coming in

" what did you want to tell me?" She asked " you're seriously not leaving me right?"

" No! I'm not! Well maybe" he said

" MAYBE?" She gasped

" I'm kidding.." he said sitting next to her " I would never"

" okay that's a relief" she said

He kissed her forehead

" so.. I was thinking a lot today.. how much I missed music" he said

" oh.." she said " how? We still write, we record and we're about to release our first single since forever.."

" I mean I miss performing..." he said

She sighed " I know you do" she said sympathetically

" I mean I really want to perform again.. sing on stage, and possibly tour again" he said

" woah woah.." she said " tour?"
