Miley woke up the nest day, wrapped in a blanket. She sleepily reached out to the opposite side of the bed with her eyes still closed to feel her husband. They flew open as she felt the air, the bed and pillows, but no Nick. Sitting bolt upright, she called out to him, "Nick!"
"Yes, ma'am?" He asked her poking his head inside the room wearing an adorable expression.
Miley could not help but giggle at the sight of him. His hair was really wild. And his shirt was colored in many different colors with what Miley guessed was water colors. And on his left cheek was a green line of paint. "What were you doing?" she giggled out.
"Oh, this?" he asked pointing at the shirt casually and walking into the room and sitting beside her.
"And this." She said laughing while smoothing out his hair and wiping his cheek.
"Well, our little girl decided that she wanted to paint and she wanted me to help. And then… Well, long story short, she got bored with the paper and found my face and shirt better materials to paint on."
"And the hair…?"
"That was when she was trying to get me into a more comfortable position for her; she found it very easy to just grab hold of my hair pulling from side to side."
Miley was laughing so hard that she could barely breathe. And when Patty cried, "Daddy, I wasn't done with you, come back!" it just made her laugh harder; clutching her sides.
"Help me," he squeaked while Miley just shook her head mercilessly.
"What's taking so long?" their daughter came trotting into the room a cute; innocent expression spread wide across her face and the cuteness showing in her voice, clearly frustrated that her dad had been keeping her waiting. "Mommy!" she cried when she noticed her mother had woken up, and flung herself into her arms. Her mother caught her, dropping a light kiss on her forehead making the little angel smile. "Hi sweetheart."
"Mommy, doesn't daddy look pwetty?"
"Of course he does." Miley said earning a glare from her love. "Absolutely dreamy," she said holding back her laughter.
"You just wait, Miley Ray. One day I will be the one laughing."
"We'll see about that." She said giving him a smug grin.
Getting impatient, the little girl jumped off the bed and starting pulling on her father's fingers asking him to come with her so she could finish her masterpiece.
Taking pity on her husband, Miley reached over and gently released the tiny hand from his fingers.
"Sweetheart, why don't we go get you ready so we can go see Uncle Joe and aunt Lilly?"
She let go, nodding excitedly and took off to her room before Miley had the chance to even stand up. She sure had a lot of energy for her age and size.
Miley got up and ruffled Nick's hair leaving a kiss onto his mass of curly hair. "Get yourself cleaned."
Miley found her digging her closet when she walked into her room. After helping her pick out an outfit that Patty was happy with, she helped her take a bath and into the cute pink skirt with hearts printed onto it and cute little shirt. When they were done, Miley leaned down and kissed the girl lightly on the tip of her nose making her squeal in delight.
"Mommy, will Uncle Joey play with me?" she wanted to know.
"Of course he will, after all you are his favorite niece." Miley said, causing her daughter's smile to grow wider. She never stopped smiling, another reason to why everyone loved her so much. Well, what did they expect? She WAS the daughter of the one and only 'Smiley-Miley'.
Nick walked into the room all washed up and dressed and kept Patty company while Miley went to get dressed herself. A little while later, she walked downstairs. Father and daughter looked up and smiled at her which she returned with her signature million-dollar smile. Nick knelt down and Patty leapt onto his back wrapping her tiny little arms around his neck for support while he held onto her little feet to make sure she doesn't fall. Miley grabbed his keys and threw them to him. The happy family walked out, Nick opened the back door dropping the little girl inside and locked the doors as Miley slipped into the passenger seat of Nick's car.

"Uncle Joey!" exclaimed the adorable little girl as she caught sight of her favorite uncle.
"Munchkin!" he greeted her with the same enthusiasm and spinned her around.
"Joe stop, she's gonna feel drowsy or you might hurt her." Miley said, her 'mother' instinct kicking in.
"Nice to see you too, sis." He kidded; giving her a one-armed hug holding her daughter in the other arm. Miley just laughed it off.
After they had walked inside and the four –or five—of them had exchanged hellos, Nick went over to Joe who was holding Patty and put his arms out. She quickly jumped into her father's arms throwing her arms around his neck.
"Traitor…" muttered Joe, making everyone laugh.

"Good night, baby girl." Whispered Nick as he tucked Patty under her covers and placed a pillow on either side and handed her teddy bear to her as Miley pushed a stray strand of dark curly hair out of her face.
"I love you mommy and daddy." She replied yawning.
"We love you too." Miley told her and placed a kissed on her right cheek at the same moment Nick did on her left cheek.
"Sing to me mommy?" In her opinion, her mother's voice was the best and most angelic in the whole world.
Lay your head down,
On my
shoulder,
And close your eyes,
Tell me softly,
That
you'll love me,
For the rest of our lives…
Let me kiss
the,
Tears on your face,
There's no need to cry,
Just listen
to me,
When I'm singing,
Your lullaby.
When I watch
you sleeping,
There's nowhere on earth I'd rather be,
I feel
your heart beating,
And I know its calling out to me…
(Your lullaby by: Icarus. Love that song!)
The little girl was already sleeping; with a slight smile on her face showing the state of peace she was at. This was the only lullaby that made her sleep no matter what and only when her mother was the one singing. Nick was looking at her with an adoring expression on his face.
"What?" she whispered lightly giggling.
Getting up and turning off the light, he walked out of the room pulling Miley along with him and shut the door. "You're amazing, you know that?"
Biting her lip, she looked down and blushed. No matter how many years she had known him, she still hadn't gotten used to his compliments.
"No really, you are." He said again seriously.
Laughing at the sincerity in his voice, Miley laughed. "Thank you."
Nick pulled her closer and touched their lips. Miley wrapped her arms around his neck as he pulled her even closer. Miley's fingers ran through his curly hair. Pulling away; Nick put their foreheads together so that they were looking right into each others eyes.
"I love you, Miley Ray."
"I love you too, Nick J"
Nick smiled as he leaned closer to capture her lips in yet another intensifying kiss.
