Chapter Thirty

Payson couldn't be more relieved that Austin's parents were on a plane back to Boston. During their short one week visit, Austin was different. He was more protective, more serious, and easily stressed out; he wasn't the sarcastic fun-loving guy that Payson knew he was. She had never seen him act the way he did around his parents. It made her realize how little about his family she knew about; or his life before they had met all those years ago at the Rock.

"Its a classic two story house," Payson's realtor said, as Payson snapped out her reverie. She and Austin had been looking at houses all morning; Payson though had been lost in her thoughts about her and Austin's relationship.

"Its okay," Austin began, "What do you think about it Pay?"

Payson shrugged, it was just another cookie-cutter two story house; probably overpriced, because of the hardwood floor, and the view of the mountains. "I think it looks like the five other houses we seen today."

The realtor nodded, and then suddenly her eyes twinkled. "You know, I think I may know of the perfect house."

Payson didn't get excited, the realtor had said that five house earlier. "Okay, then can we go see it?"

"Yes." The realtor replied in a chirpy voice. "Just follow behind me, it's very easy to get lost on the way there.'

"Great." Austin mumbled under his breath as they left the house. "Hopefully it won't be in another subdivision."

"Hopefully, it will least have different paint colors." Payson added, "I don't think I can stand seeing the same color scheme."

Austin laughed a little as he took out his keys and unlocked the car. "I agree."

"Austin!" The realtor yelled, as she opened the door to her car. "Take a left on the main road, go down two miles then take a right on the blue street sign."

"See you there Stacey." Austin said, before getting into his truck. "Why did we pick her as a realtor?"

Payson closed her door, "I don't know, my mom found her us."

"Next time, maybe we should put more thought into the realtor." Austin paused as he cranked the truck, "You won't be the only one going crazy if this house looks exactly the same."

Payson rolled her eyes, "Its worse than when you were interviewing coaches the other day."

"I would love to work at the Rock," Austin began to mimic the coaches he had interviewed. Austin and Payson had sat through hours of interviewing coaches that had the same answers to all of their questions it seem like. "It is a wonderful establishment that produces Olympians."

Payson laughed a little, "I have given up on the coach search, Austin. I know I won't be able to handle one more interview."

"Thank, Pay. Leave me alone with the robotic coaches; some of them were worse than Nicky Russo." Austin smirked a little.

Payson looked out the window and saw a little blue street sign ahead, "Austin the turn is coming up."
Austin nodded as he slowly turned onto the street. As they drove down the street Austin notice no house, "Well we are defiantly not in a subdivision."

"Are you sure this is the right street?" Payson asked.

"Well, Stacey is in front of us." Austin answered, "If this is the wrong street, we need to change realtors."

Payson was about to respond but then she saw the gorgeous house at the end of the road. "We might not need to do that."

"It does look different." Austin said as he slowly stopped the truck and put into park.

"And it's not a subdivision." Payson added as she got out of the truck. "It's beautiful." There in front of Payson stood a two story brick house with a huge porch that wrapped around the whole house. It had crisp white shutters that framed the huge windows beside the huge French doors.

"Let's go inside then." Stacey said

the house wasn't defiantly not like any of the other houses that Payson and Austin's had seen. The moment Payson had stepped in it she already felt like it was home. She could see her and Austin's child running up and down the grand staircase that was the first thing she saw when she walked into the house. As she walked through the kitchen, she could see her mother teaching her how to cook things. It the living room with the huge vaulted ceilings and the huge windows, she could picture Austin setting up a ridiculously tall Christmas tree.

"So what do you think about this one Pay?" Austin asked.

"This is it." Payson replied. "This is the house."

...

"Whose car is in our driveway?" Payson asked as Austin pulled into the lake house's driveway.

Austin shrugged, "We're about to find out." He put in the truck in park, and slowly got out. "Stay in here and let check the house out."

Payson rolled her eyes, "I am not waiting in the truck, Austin. It's probably nothing."

"I would prefer you wait in the truck, Pay." Austin said as he walked to the house. Payson sighed, she hated being protected. She wasn't some dismal in distress that needed Superman to come save her, or in this case Austin.

"Too bad," Payson opened the door and got out. "I am coming behind if you like it or not!" She yelled to Austin who was now out of her sight. Payson quickly walked up the path that led to the front door. There sitting on the patio was a girl sitting on her suitcase. Austin was just staring at her.

Payson put her hand on Austin's shoulders, and then looked at the girl. She was Austin; everything about her looked like Austin but more feminine. "Austin, who is this?"
Austin looked at Payson, "This is my sister, Brooklyn."

"You must be Payson," Brooklyn flipped her hair, as she stood, offering her hand to Payson. Payson wearily shook it; apparently it was just not Austin's parents who were unpredictable. "Mom told me about how you were looking for a coach, and here I am."

Austin raised one eyebrow, "Aren't you suppose to be with Aunt Carrie in Sad Diego?"

Brooklyn rolled her brown eyes, "I told her I was coming here Austin. I am twenty three, your acting as if I am a teenager still."

"Maybe because you act like your still a teenager sis." Austin countered. "Look I am glad to see you but I don't know if you're exactly qualified to coach."

"I was the top gymnast in collegiate gymnastics, until I quite." Brooklyn said.

"Austin, Payson whispered. "She has a point."

Austin looked at Payson, "Brook can't coach, Pay."

"Why don't you let her try," Payson pleaded. "She's your sister Austin. Besides, I would rather not have one the robotic coaches."

"I may be used for people talking about me right in front me." Brooklyn began, "But that doesn't me that I like it."

Austin smirked, "Same old Brooklyn."

"I am not the old one, that's you." Brooklyn remarked, as she picked up her suitcase. "Are you going to make me stay out here are we going to go in soon?"

Austin pulled out his keys from his pocket, and went to the door and unlocked it. "We'll talk later."

"Why later, why don't we talk now?" Brooklyn walked through the door.

"I personally don't want to fight with you today." Austin replied as he and Payson walked through the door. "I would have had like if you had given me a heads up before you came."

"Where you would be the fun in that?"

"Easy, I get to prepare comebacks especially for you."

Brooklyn rolled her eyes, "I didn't come to listen to your lame jokes, Austin. I came because I want to coach."

"Me and Payson will think about it, Brook." Austin sincerely said. "But we'll think about it later, because I have to get Payson to a doctor's appointment."

Payson's eyes widen, "I totally forgot about that. Let me go get a water bottle, then we can leave." Payson scurried off to kitchen leaving the brother and sister alone.

"You know I am best choice for the Rock." Brooklyn announced. "I am family, and I know what I am doing."

Austin looked at his sister, "I told you me and Payson will think about it. Now you can stay in the guest bedroom its the second door on the left, right down the hallway."

Brooklyn nodded, "Thank Austin. I've missed you."

"I missed you too, sis." He said as he hugged his little sister, "Don't try to get into too much trouble while me and Payson are gone."

Brooklyn pulled away from her brother's hug, "I promise I won't destroy your house." Austin looked at his sister, "Okay! I promise that I won't try to destroy your house." Brooklyn smiled.

"I think we should let your sister coach." Payson suggested. She and Austin were in the examination room waiting for the doctor to come in.

Austin sighed, "I don't know if that's a good idea with Brook's history."

"So would you rather have a robot as a coach?" Payson asked.

"No, but Brooklyn has never coached; she doesn't know the first thing about being around kids." Austin said.

Payson rolled her eyes, "She knows gymnastics. Austin she's your sister give her a chance."

"I don't know if I can with her history Payson." Austin began, "She didn't quite collegiate gymnastics she flunked out of school. She's twenty three and she still acts like a teenager."

"Well, maybe this will help her grew up Austin." Payson said placing her hand on his knee. "I know you love your sister, Austin. You just need to put her past behind you, and let her have a try at this."

"Maybe your right," Austin lowered his voice.

The door swung open, as Payson was about to respond. "So how are you doing today Ms. Keeler?" Payson's doctor asked as she walked through the door.

"Good," Payson replied.

"Okay, then hop up on the examination table and we will get started." The doctor said.

It wasn't the first time that Payson had been to the doctor's office. After her miscarriage of the twin, she had went to the doctor's office on weekly basis for three weeks. The first time the her doctor, Doctor Langley had put the could gel on her stomach it had been a shock. Now it was about the sixth time Payson had an ultrasound she felt like a pro at it.

"Look Austin the baby sucking its thumb." Payson smiled pointing at the small fuzzy picture of their baby on the screen.

Austin smiled, as laced his fingers in between Payson's, "It sure is."

"Do you two want to find out if it is a girl or boy?" Doctor Langley asked.

Payson looked at Austin, "Want to, do you?"

Austin nodded, "Sure doc."

Doctor Langley slowly moved the Doppler around Payson's stomach. The doctor zoomed in focusing the picture of the baby a little bit better, before smiling. "It looks like you two are going to have a little girl."

Austin couldn't help but grin. He had always wanted a little girl; a little princess with Payson's blue eyes and his attitude. They would be a family him, Payson and their little girl. "Payson, we're going have a girl."

"I know, Austin." Payson smiled. "We're having a girl."
