Okay so this is my first time at A Cinderella Story. In this story, Sam is telling her two daughters the story of how she fell in love with Austin. They have were married when they were 23 and have a 5 and 3 year old daughters names Arianna and Rachel. This is a story so it will of course be interrupted by the kids. Every chapter will be a different night, where she'll start up the story again. Even though they went to college in like 2004 I'm gonna make them have a 2008 style. It will be a past and present story.

Disclaimer: I own no one except Arianna and Rachel.

Normal: This is when they are in the present.

Italic: They are talking about the past.

Austin's POV

I woke up to the smell of pancakes and sausage, but also to an empty bed next to me. This is how the day went. Sam gets up at 7, gets the girls up, gets them ready for school and makes them breakfast, then I wake up, and by the time I get down stares they are halfway out the door. When I'm home by myself I usually work on my novel. Sam usually gets home around 2 with the girls, she makes dinner, we spend a few hours as a family and by the time we get to bed, we're to tired to even speak to each other. I just wish we had more time to be alone. Just for one day.

I got out of bed pretty quickly, put a shirt on and went down stares to greet my girls. When I was walking down the stares I could hear giggles coming from the kitchen. "What's so funny?" I asked while walking into the kitchen. But when I got in the kitchen I saw what all the laughter was about, Sam was standing there, her chocolate brown hair filled with flour, her sliver shirt and blue shrug were doused in flour also, and on her black skinny jeans, you could see tiny white hand prints. The only thing that wasn't ruined were her black peep toe high heals. (pics of clothes in my pro. Her hair and makeup is the same and so is her clothes.)

"The girls, thought it would be fun to throw flour on mommy." Sam said to them with a glare. I could tell she was trying to stay calm in front of them. "But it's not funny. Now mommy is going to get cleaned up and then she is going to come back down here and take you girls to school. Got it? Good." Sam said, after she left the girls started laughing again.

"Girls I don't think you should have thrown flour on mommy. Why don't you go get ready for school, mommy will be down soon." The girls nodded and I went to my office to go work on my book. I soon heard and 'bye Austin' and two 'bye daddy's' and then the front door close. I don't know how long I was writing for, I just got inspiration, before I knew it I heard the front door open and a huff, I knew immediately Sam was home. I looked down at the clock next to my computer screen, it was 11:45, what is Sam doing home so early. I saved my work and got out of my chair. I walked into the kitchen to find Sam cleaning the dishes in the sink. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her from behind. She relaxed instantly. "Hey babe. How's your day been?" I asked before kissing her hair. I saw her give a weak smile before turning around to face me.

"Stressful. Matt says I need to write more songs or else they will find people to write for me. And when I told him I write all my songs he blew up and said if I cant give him one decent song by the end of this week the label is gonna drop me. I just have a major writers block. I need a space to think…" She said rubbing her temples. I gave her a small smile before hugging her tightly.

"Sam, I know you can do it. You make amazing songs. Don't worry about Matt. Here, I'll pick up the girls from school today. You just relax, take a bubble bath, think. Okay?" I asked looking at her. She looked up at me and nodded her head. "Good, now go take that bath. I'm gonna leave to get the girls." I said to her, before I let her leave my arms thought I gave her a caring, passionate kiss and then let her go. I waited until I heard the sound of running water before I left to pick the girls up.

It took about 30 minutes to get to Arianna's school. For some reason the bounders in our neighborhood make her go to a school 30 minutes away when there is a perfectly good one about 4 minutes from the house. She could walk there if she wanted to, then picking Rachel up, from pre-school, takes another 15 minutes. When I finally got to Arianna's school I saw her sitting on the bench outside. I beeped the horn to let her know I was here, when she looked up she waved at me excitedly. She soon picked up her backpack and ran to the car as fast as her little legs would let her. When she got in the back seat of the car she immediately started talking. "Hi daddy! What are you doing here? You never pick me up! Mommy does. Oh no is something wrong with mommy? Daddy please tell me mommy is alright!" She pleaded, gosh this girl has the mood swings of a pregnant woman.

"No everything is fine, mommy is fine. She was just tired so I thought I would pick you up today. Is that okay with you?" I asked her. She nodded her head furiously.

"So daddy guys what we made in art?" She started talking before I could answer. "We made our families! I used finger paints. See daddy, see?" She said waving the painting in front of my face. "I asked Mrs. Lowe how to make mommy's hair cuz it was like mine before, but now its like Ms. Davis. Why is mommy's hair different?" she asked.

"Mommy just felt like changing it. It's a very good picture sweetie. But what is that?" I asked pointing to the brown blob next to Rachel. Ari took the picture from me and studied what I was talking about.

"That's the doggie!" She said happily.

"Ari, we don't have a dog." I said to her, looking at her through the rear-view mirror to catch her reaction.

"Yeah but everyone has a doggie or a kitty-cat sooo I put one too. Can we get a doggie daddy?" She asked me.

"Ummm, I'll talk to your mom about it." I said back to her. There is no way in hell we are getting a dog. No one is home, well I am but I'm so caught up in my writing I'll forget about the thing and end up killing it. Oh I can just imagine how that conversation would go…

"Daddy can you tell me some more of the bedtime story from last night? Mommy didn't finish it!" She asked me, this girl has the attention span of a gold fish.

"How about you tell me what the story was about and how far you got in it, I bet by the time your done well be at Rachel's school. Then when she get's in i'll tell you the story. Is it long?" I asked her, she nodded.

"Mommy said it's gonna take a lot of bedtimes to finish it." After that she started to tell me, in great detail, all about the story of Sam and I in college. Well up to the part where we met Ashlee. The second Rachel was in the car and buckled up Ari started begging me to tell her some of the story. "Come on daddy! Rach is in the car now so you can tell the story! GO GO GO!" She said jumping and squirming in her seat. I chuckled and tried to settle her down from my spot in drivers seat.

"Okay okay, so we left off when Ashlee wanted me to sit with her correct?" Ari and Rach nodded yes. "Okay so…"

"Well I'm here now so tuff luck. But you…" She said looking over right at me, "Can stay if you want. Then again why wouldn't you want to?" Ugh girls like her make me want to puke. They are so full of themselves and think they are better than everyone else. That is just one of the reasons why Sam is so perfect. She doesn't want me because I'm Austin Ames, she wants me for me.

"Actually, I think I'll eat with my girlfriend." I said to her. She looked around and then back at me, ignoring Sam's presence.

"Well there doesn't seem to be a girlfriend in sight so sit down." She said back to me.

"Hmm. What's your name?" I asked with attitude, Sam was getting pissed off, which causes me to get pissed off.

"Ashlee, what about you gorgeous?"

"Austin, oh and Ashlee?" She looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "Meet Sam, my girlfriend." Sam waved and then I grabbed her hand and we walked away from the table. "We can just eat in your room." I mumbled to her, she nodded her head. Right as we were about to leave the cafeteria a person stepped in front of us, oh wait, it's just my brother. Great.

"AUSTIN!" He said joyfully, he grabbed me and pulled me in for a hug before I could process what was going on. "What's up little brother?" He said once he pulled me away and held me at arm's length.

"Nothing Dean. Just-" He cut me off before I could finish.

"Austin," He whispered to me. "Who's the stalker?" He asked eyeing Sam. Ugh he's such and ass. Before I could answer he side stepped me and looked Sam over, then started talking to her. "Hey, chicky." Sam gave him a glare. "Stop following my brother. I get you probably have this crush on him or something but your way out of his league. Why don't you do him and yourself a favor and skedaddle."

"DEAN!"

"What?!?! I'm just looking out for my brother." I moved away from him and went to Sam and put my arm around her.

"Well you suck at it. Dean, meet my girlfriend Sam." Sam waved at him. I saw Dean's face change to confusion and disproval the second I said girlfriend.

"You know what Austin, I'm just gonna go back to my dorm. Don't follow me." Then she looked at Dean and back at me. "Have fun with your family reunion." She mumbled before fast walking away from me.

"Good riddens." He said out loud. "Dude, have you gone absolutely mad? You could do so much better than her. What in the world made you dump Shelby for…her?" He is such a dick. All he thinks about is looks.

"Maybe because she understands me. She likes me for me, not because I'm Austin Ames. Oh and I think she's the most beautiful girl in the world. So you can just shove it Dean." I said to him before walking away and making my way back to Sam's dorm.

"So Uncle Dean doesn't like mommy?" Ari asked as we pulled into the drive way.

"He was just stupid, but he loves mommy now." I said back to them.

"Like you love mommy?" Possibly.

"No sweetie. No one can love mommy like I love her. Just like no one can love you two like I love you." I turned the car off and went a got the girls out of their car seats. When Ari's feet hit the ground she ran into the house. I took Rachel and carried her in the house. Ari was hugging Sam.

"I LOVE YOU MOMMY!" She said. She was squeezing Sam's leg so hard I wouldn't be surprised if she cut the blood circulation off.

"Okay…" Sam said looking up at me with a questioning face. I just shrugged.

"I'm really sorry Uncle Dean didn't like you at Princsk, Princeskon!" Sam made a face at me and gently pried Ari off her leg and then bended down to her level.

"It's fine honey. He got over it eventually. And I love you too." Sam hugged Ari, when Ari let go she gave Sam a kiss on the cheek and ran off to play with her toys. I let Rachel down and she follow her sister. I walked over to Sam and wrapped her in my arms.

"I love you too." I said before leaning down and giving her a kiss.

Okay was it good? The pics of Ashlee, Dean and Sam's outfit are all in my pro. And if any of you watch Supernatural I'm sorry but I couldn't help and call him Dean. It just fit him so well. Oh Dean is a Senior and he's at Princeton for Hockey and Lacrosse, he's got a full ride.
