"Shay stop." An almost 2-year-old Nate whined, running after his brother.
"Go 'way, Nate, only Princess Pretty getsta call me that." 5-year-old Shane glared. It was his 5th birthday today and that meant he was a big boy; he even gets to start pre-school in September.
"Gimme my Batman." Nate demanded right before the doorbell rang.
"Princess Pretty Eyes!" Shane yelled, dropping the Batman toy and running downstairs. He knew he wasn't supposed to open the door without his Mommy or Daddy, but he just knew it was Miley so he opened it without a second thought. On the other side was Mister Stewart, Mrs Stewart, Jackson, who was 4, and his Princess Pretty Eyes. He called her that since he met her because she was the Princess and he was the hero and she had pretty blue eyes that were his favourite color.
"Shay!" Miley squeeled, clapping her hands when she saw him through the screen door.
"MOMMY!" Shane yelled, trying to reach the handle for the screen door, but it was up high so only grown ups could open it.
"Shane, what have we said about inside voices?" Sandy questioned patiently, coming out to the front foyer.
"But, Miley's here." Shane pointed out the door, as if Miley's pressence explained everything. Which, over the last year and three months Sandy had come to realise that with Shane it usually did.
"Hi." Sandy let the Stewart familly in and Shane immediately grabbed Miley's hand.
"Happy birthday, Shane." Robby Ray Stewart started to say, but the boy had already dragged his toddler daughter out of the room.
"Come on, Miley, Mommy got a bouncy castle." The adults could hear the boy say as he dragged her out to the backyard.
"Shay, slow." Miley said, stumbling to keep up with the older boy on her toddler legs.
"Bouncy castle." Shane pointed at the brightly colored amusement.
When the parents made it out to the backyard Shane and Miley were sitting in the bouncing castle, not bouncing, just sitting, and Shane was listening intently as Miley babbled in her not-quite-English speak.
"Pretty rock for birfday Shay." Miley ended her babble, holding out a small, smooth pebble. "Choosed it special for Shay." She nodded emphatically as Shane took the pebble.
"It's my favouritest birthday present." Shane leaned forward to kiss Miley's cheek in thanks, but she turned her head at the wrong time and his 5-year-old lips landed on her 21-month-old ones.
"Only Mommy and Daddy kiss, Shay." Miley shook her head as Shane blushed and sat back.
"One day we gonna be married like a Mommy and Daddy, so it's'okay." Shane insisted with a shrug.
Another cute snapshot in the life of Miley Stewart and Shane Gray.
