Chapter 8
Nick was having great difficulty putting together a comprehendible sentence.
"But you...I we, I mean I thought...then..." Nick mumbled to himself.
"Nicky why don't you come over here and sit next to me" said Miley smiling at him. A confused Nick sat next to Miley who had tears in her eyes. Emma stood up as he sat down.
"I'll give you guys some privacy, I'll be reading my magazine in the bathroom" said Emma heading towards the en suite. She couldn't leave the room in case some one saw Miley as she opened the main door. Once Emma closed the door Miley spoke.
"We didn't use protection, which I didn't know about until after I found out" said Miley.
"When did you find out?" asked Nick.
"Remember that day you were at my house and you went up to the bathroom to get a band aid?" asked Miley.
"You had something behind you're back" said Nick. Miley nodded.
"It was a pregnancy test, I missed my period and I felt sick so I took one".
"But why didn't you tell me?" Asked Nick. Miley couldn't look him in the eyes.
"Because...Because I was scared, if the media found out about this they would never leave us alone and it's bad enough as it is, so I decided to run away" said Miley.
"But why didn't you tell me you were running away?" asked Nick.
"I knew you would try to stop me, I planned to have the baby and then..." Miley started to sob.
"And then what Miley?" asked Nick lifting her chin.
"Give the baby up for adoption" said Miley as she broke down.
"What? And you weren't even going to tell me about this?!" shouted Nick as he jumped up.
"I.. I know... but I did call you and you're here now" said Miley between sniffs.
"Only because I poured my heart out in that video, and that's only because of Selena" Nick was cut off.
"Selena? You were talking to her?" asked Miley her facial expression suddenly hardening.
"Yeah I was" said Nick sensing the jealousy in Miley's voice.
"Why?" asked Miley.
"She was a great help to me, she reminded me how much I loved you" said Nick his anger slowly fading away. Miley also felt her feelings of jealousy disappear when she realized that Selena wasn't trying to steal Nick. Nick went to sit next to Miley again but being accident prone he tripped on the hospital wire and knocked over a chair. Emma quickly opened the door wondering what the noise was.
"Nick are you ok?" asked Miley.
"Oh you know me, always falling over things" smiled Nick. Just then Nicks watch beeped.
"I gotta go check my sugar levels" said Nick taking out his diabetes pouch from his bag. Once Nick was in the bathroom Miley talked to Emma about what happened.
"Miley if you are serious you have to prove to him why this is the right thing to do" said Emma. Miley nodded staring blankly at the floor.
Knock Knock
Miley rushed to put on the wig and mask but Emma stopped her.
"Just put on the wig and face the wall, I'll say you are sleeping" she said as she knocked on the bathroom door as well " Nick don't come out until I say you can" she whispered quickly. She then opened the door. A young worried nurse was at the door.
"Em.. May I speak to Miss Tiffany Jameson" she said.
"She's resting at the moment I can pass on a message she's my niece" said Emma.
"Well her son is not doing very well and he's not responding to the medication, we would like to have a baptism for him, if Miss jameson is christian that is, in the next hour and we would ask that Miss Jameson come down to the Nicu at 9" said the nurse.
"Yes she is christian, I will wake her in a moment, can you arrange a wheelchair for 9 please" said Emma. The nurse nodded. Emma then closed and locked the door.
"Miles?" asked Emma. She could see Mileys frail body shaking with tears. Emma rushed over to comfort her. She knew that even though Miley planned to give her son up she still loved him very much.
"One moment Miley, I'll just let Nick out of the bathroom" said Emma. Once Nick walked out he was oblivious to what had just happened.
"Miley are you ok?" he asked walking to her side. She mumbled something incoherent.
"The baby isn't doing well because it was a month premature and they have organised a baptism for him" said Emma.
"But why would they have a baptism I mean they only have them for small babies if they think they are going to..." suddenly Nick understood.
"Die" he finished. Nick felt as though someone had punched him in the gut.
"He.. can't die..." Miley sobbed.
"He?" said Nick. Miley sat up.
"A son" said Nick as Miley nodded. Everyone was silent. After a few moments Nick spoke.
"Can I go with you?" he asked.
"But they would recognise you" said Miley. Nick stood up and walked over to his bag, he pulled out a baseball cap and sunglasses and put them on.
"How about now?" he asked.
"But no one wears shades indoors" said Miley smiling slightly.
"Blind people do" said Nick as he pretended to stumble around the room. Emma walked over to him pretending to help him find his way.
"I guess you can go then" said Miley still trying to say no, she didn't want Nick to feel as awful as she did and after seeing her son, it was so real that it hurt that much more.
At 9pm the nurse arrived with a wheelchair for Miley who had put back on the mask and wig. She had reminded Nick and Emma not to call her Miley. Once they entered the Nicu Nick stood still. He gazed at his son. He was attached to many wires and his little chest was moving up and down irregularly. The priest started to speak but neither Miley nor Nick were listening. They watched as their son breathed, each breath more important than the last. Miley was allowed to hold his little hand through the glass cubical. Nick coughed reminding Miley of him. Emma then pretended to guide his hand towards the little boys hand. Nick felt a mixture of emotions, joy to see and hold his hand and yet incredible sadness for a little boy that he didn't even know existed until 2 hours ago. The thought that he may die overnight scared Nick. After the priest left Miley, Nick and Emma just sat looking at him. No one spoke, the only sounds were of the heart monitor beeping.
The next day Miley woke up with Nick lying next to her, Emma slept on the chair. None of them got a good nights sleep. Miley nudged Nick awake and Emma woke as well. After the initial drowsiness Emma got up to go check on the baby. Nick locked the door after her. He then lay next to Miley just holding her. Their lips brushed together and Miley felt such comfort from Nick. He was so loving and caring. Soon Emma returned and Nick got up to open the door.
"Good news! He's responding to the medication today and isn't as dependant on the breathing tube!" said Emma. Miley was so relieved that she started to cry. Nick wrapped his arms around her.
"Miles he's ok why are you crying?" asked Nick.
"I don't know" said Miley as she cried harder.
"It's the hormones, after woman have babies our hormones go crazy and anything can set up off crying" said Emma passing over the tissues. Nick nodded giving them to Miley.
Turn on that radio
As loud as it can go
Wanna dance until my feet can't feel the ground
Nick picked up his phone and answered it.
"Hello" he said.
"Nicholas Lucas! Where are you?" said his mother.
"With Selena for the weekend" he said.
"It's Monday and Selena is right beside me wondering where you are!" said his mother angrily. Nick froze, Shit! he thought to himself.
"So where are you?" she asked again.
"I.. Uh..." Nick mumbled, he didn't have a clue what to say.
