"Welcome our next guest, he's been on many shows before but now he's playing the King of Rock and Roll in new film 'Elvis', everyone lets welcome Austin Butler!" Jimmy Fallon announced, welcoming in the blond from off stage. He comes on with a smile and waves to the cheer fans in the crowd. He thanks Jimmy and takes a seat while the host does the same.
"Thank you so much for coming on the show. You hit a home run with this movie, buddy." He says, smiling at your boyfriend. "We screened it the other night, You're fantastic in this movie." Jimmy continued. The grin on Austin's face unfading, he thanks the other man. You sit in the front row, Ivory was with your mom in the dressing room. You were only about a week postpartum but couldn't miss anything else of Austin's since being pregnant kept you from so much.
Jimmy goes on about the movie asking all kinds of questions about how he prepared and what it was like filming such a lengthy performance. Austin explained that it was a difficult but incredibly rewarding event in his life that basically defined him for 2 years. How he had met you just before filming and the kind of impact that had on your relationship. Going on about the accent that seemed to stick a little longer than expected and he even did a funny little dance that he'd done for the role and decided Jimmy should learn. However, Jimmy didn't quite get the hang of it.
After about 15 minutes of talking about Elvis and how the role was going to launch his career into full throttle, Jimmy asked Austin about your little one.
"So, Austin, you have a new baby at home, congratulations!" The brunette said and your boyfriend's face lit up like a Christmas tree. "I do, thank you. She's the most perfect thing in my life and I couldn't have asked for a better person to raise her with than, my beautiful girlfriend, y/n." He nods to you and you blow a kiss to him. "I could gush about my girls all day long."
"You two announced it pretty late into the pregnancy. My wife and I kept our children out of public eye for a long time and it's very difficult so I commend you for that as well." Jimmy said, agreeing that privacy is sacred at all points in life. "Yeah, we didn't want to expose her to such a harsh world before she was even born or had toenails so keeping her our little secret meant the world to us but getting to tell our family and friends, fans too, about her was just the most rewarding feeling."
"So, as a father, myself, I know this isn't the easiest thing on earth but it seems you've already adjusted to it so well." Jimmy holds up a picture of Austin and Ivory, both sleeping, the little girl on his bare chest. "Well, I'd like to think so. Ivy, you know, she's just the most fragile thing I've ever known and she just is the best baby. She sleeps at night, she eats well. I was very blessed to have a child like her for my first. But," The boy motions to you in the audience, "y/n, my lovely girl, she's a natural. She is so so wonderful with her. Y/n has made this new experience such an incredibly amazing thing for me."
"Your girlfriend, yes. She's a very proud and passionate mother, I've seen." Jimmy holds up another picture of you, Olivia, and Ivy at the hospital.
You hold back tears as Austin talks of you. Only have been together a mere 18 months, he's already been the most fantastic person to spend life with. "Those girls are the loves of my life." That sends you over the edge, tears freely falling. You were so proud of this soul and that you were so fortunate to have him in your life.
"Well, I have a few things for little Ivory once she gets older," Jimmy proceeds to take a small wicker basket from behind his desk and sits it on his desk. "A few things from my family to yours!" It's full of Elvis themed baby item, an Elvis teddy bear, bottles with the Elvis logo rhinestoned onto it, a onesie that read, "my little good luck charm", and your personal favorite that Austin's hand went to first, a tiny white jumpsuit with a little pair of his signature glasses. "Oh my god," Austin laughs lowly, holding the little suit out towards you and you nod, signaling you loved it. "Thank you so much." He couldn't stop smiling.
The interview ends with Jimmy telling everyone that Elvis was in theaters and they should go watch it as soon as possible, wishing the crowd and fans at home a goodnight. So once commercial break was in effect, you walk up to Jimmy and Austin, hugging the host and thanking him for the many wonderful gifts. "Do you guys mind if I go backstage and meet her?" Jimmy asks, beaming with happiness. You and Austin, of course, let him go see Ivy.
Back in the dressing room, your mother is giving Ivy a bottle, well, finishes doing so, perfect timing. You tell Jimmy to not be a stranger and to accept your baby from your mom. You listen to Jimmy and Austin talk about the baby while you gather up your make up and hair products. You thank your mom and bid her farewell until the next time you ask her to babysit or she came to see you all again.
"It was so nice to meet you and Ivory, y/n. Austin, it's always a pleasure and I hope to have you all back soon. Get home safe, and let me know if you need anything." Jimmy says, "Goodnight, you guys." And he closes the door behind him.
You buckle Ivory in her car seat while Austin sits next to the carrier.
"I'm so proud of you." He speaks softly as Ivy dozed off, looking at her then you. You slightly chuckle and finish with the last buckle. "Proud of me? I'm so proud of you, you did so well up there. Everyone loved you-"
"I'm proud of you being an amazing mom. You are like a superwoman. And I couldn't have anyone better to help me. This is a tough job yet you're so good at it. I'm so incredibly proud of you, mama." He cuts you off, letting you know being a mom is a billion time harder than being just some actor who just now got his big break after 10+ years in the spotlight. But sure, the job is a bit strenuous at times but your boyfriend was a freaking celebrity. He couldn't have it any easier than you.
"Thank you, baby." You swallow back tears. You felt like you cried at everything after Ivy was born. The doctor did inform you it'd take a week or so for hormone levels to go back to normal. He chuckled at your pretty, emotional, little self and stood to give you a kiss before he flips Ivy's blanket over her car seat, and picking her up. You and Austin have yet to post a picture of her face, you wanted to keep her out of paparazzi's way as long as you guys possibly could.
Going back to the car, you both keep an eye out for cameramen but thankfully get to the black suburban undocumented. The drive home was silent, hoping your baby would stay in her deep slumber but you two traded loving looks the whole way home. Proud you were of the family you've made.
The next morning, you woke up to your alarm sat for 8am. You needed a head start on today, Baz had set a small dinner at a beautiful restaurant just down for the whole cast. Getting up, you checked the baby monitor screen and see Ivy still peacefully resting in her crib even though most nights she sleeps in a pack and play in your room. Austin doing the same. You tap him, he groans, his groggy morning asking what time it was when you know he's been up earlier than this. "It's 8." You say, giving his cheek a kiss. "Will you watch the monitor while I go shower?" He lazily nods but sits up, grabbing the screen to be closer to him.
You go and shower, brushing your teeth and hair afterwards. Once clean, you changed back into your usual look, the oversized shirt and undies. Meanwhile, Austin had fell back asleep you come to find. You go to your daughter's room, seeing that she's awake and ready for the day. You pick her up and pull your shirt up and keep it in your teeth, exposing a single breast for Ivory to eat from, the baby immediately latches on. So now you're off to go on with your morning with tiny human connected to you.
You make your way to the kitchen and pull out a glass that was probably for whiskey and filled it with orange juice. You wanted to have Austin up and ready by 2pm if at all possible. Walking back up to the bedroom you shared, you tap him, hopefully getting him to wake up. He groans and opens his baby blue eyes to find yours. "Hey, lovey, you need to get up and get showered. I'm working on breakfast right now. Baz wants us there by 3, c'mon."
He gets up but not without complaining about how the room was too bright and that is was too early. You had a lot to do before going to the luncheon. So did Austin.
Ivy falls back to sleep after eating and you place her in a pop up crib in the living room just feet away from the open kitchen. You cook eggs and bacon and make a couple pieces of french toast of Austin, you ate only a few pieces of bacon and gave your boyfriend the rest of everything once her came down from his shower.
"So, Baz told me the dinner would have nearly everyone from the film there. Are we bringing Ivy?"
"Of course. We have to." He chirped, food in mouth muffling his words.
"I'm just worried she may not do okay there."
"She's gonna do fine. She's the best baby ever."
You roll your eyes at his insistence and take his empty plate, sitting it in the sink to clean later. "Whatever but if she starts freaking out, Daddy's gonna have to calm her down." And that's how it usually worked, Ivy adored both of you but for some reason, Austin was her peace keeper.
Later on, you both were dressed in black with gold accents, the party's theme being Old Hollywood. You were adding final touches to your hair and outfit while Austin dressed Ivory in her little black dress and a white head wrap with gold garnishing.
"Make sure she's burped, babe." You tell your boyfriend. You'd fed the baby only about 15 minutes ago but wanted to make sure she was all good before the event. "Okay, Mommy says I didn't burp your right the first time so here we go again." He says picking your daughter up, shriveled up in the newborn scrunch, before placing a burp rag on his shoulder and starting the same task he was positive he did right the first time. "Whatever you say." You taunt him back.
"Okay," You say unplugging things and straightening your dress. "We have to go. Let's get her into her seat and we have to leave like 5 minutes ago."
Needless to say, you were not there by three. Which was completely fine. Olivia, Tom, and Dacre had met you both in the parking lot and immediately start to take over the baby. You didn't mind, you trusted all these people more than anything. The group heads inside with Ivory, Dacre even grabbed the bag for you, while Olivia took the baby and Tom had the carrier.
You and Austin were walking in slowly but surely. Once to the doors, you heard a familiar melody begin. It sounded live. Stopping the both of you, Austin's hand finds yours and he looks at you. The smile he offered you is one you'll never forget. It was different than all the rest. Maybe you two should talk about getting married one day.
The doors open by themselves, it seems, but you walk in to see a couple of people from the movie holding them open. Everyone is staring at You and Austin as he walks you down the path to the middle of the building where an opening fro a dance floor is. There was smoke covering the are. Kacey starts singing and playing the piano as you stop in the center of the floor.
Wise men say
Only fools rush in
Austin leads your arms to wrap around his neck and he places his on your waist, swaying with the music. Was this actually happening? Your breathing hitches, any air in your lungs had disappeared.
But I can't help falling in love with you, Austin mouthed to you.
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
For I can't help falling in love with you.
Everyone was watching the two of you slow dance. Priscilla held her hands clasped, resting her chin on them, Olivia was already crying, she held the baby you and Austin made from nothing but love, Kodi had the biggest grin across his face, Alton and Natasha gave you thumbs up. You even noticed your parents and Austin's dad sitting together. This felt like a movie, itself. Kacey's soothing voice filled the building with such a gentle and romantic aura. Your heart could've bursted at any moment.
Like a river flows
surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Somethings are meant to be.
One of Austin's hands go to cup your face, you didn't even realize the tears pouring out of your eyes until his thumb wiped away a tear. His eyes were welling up too, you noticed. You were so in love with this man. So proud of this success and so excited for everything that his future held.
You and your boyfriend danced to the beautiful voice of your dear friend for what felt like a forever you could absolutely stand. Although you were shaking like a leaf, you certainly were sure this was everything you wanted.
Austin gave you kisses on your forehead, hand and cheek, then leaned in to whisper to you, something only you would get to hear as it happen. "I love you so much. I'm so blessed to have you and Ivy in my life. I can't wait to spend forever with you."
Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Austin backed away from the dance you shared and got down on one knee. Your heart was going to beat out go your chest, you sniffled and laughed in disbelief. How was this actually happening?
For I can't help falling in love with you.
The music stop and everything is silent, the blond speaks to you in his low, loving voice, not minding if everyone could hear, as long as you could hear him professing his unwavering love for your mind, body and soul.
"Y/n, since the day I've met you, you've been such a bright light in my life. You've given me your unconditional love, support, and trust since day one. And now we have a beautiful daughter who I get to watch grow and become just like the woman I fell in love with. I don't know what I'd do without you by my side for now, tomorrow, and the rest of my time. You've truly made me happier than I could've ever imagine." He pulls out a ring and your gasp any of the air your could possibly take in. "Will you marry me?"
This was it. This was the moment of all of your moments.
You smile, the rest of your tears flowing over your cheeks, nodding your head as if your life depended on it. "Yes." You stick out your hand and he places the most beautiful ring you've ever seen onto your finger right next to the one he gave you the night you gave birth to Ivory. He stands and kisses you as the whole room erupts with applause and whistles. A more upbeat version of Can't Help Falling in Love begins to play as you wrap your arms around his neck, him picking you up and spinning you around. People start to fill the floor and look at the ring. You and Austin thanked everyone who came up to congratulate you.
The night went on, people coming to congratulate you, asking to meet the baby, and just making small talk. You two dance more, Austin has a couple of drinks, and you spent time with good friends. You couldn't wait for the life time of moments with Austin.
