Chapter 7- The Baby
"One…two…three, push!" The doctor ordered.
Miley pushed as hard as she can. Her screams were loud and tears fell from her eyes as sweat poured from her forehead. Demi, Luke, Nick, and Miley's mom coaxed her through the labor.
About forty-five minutes passed and Miley shook her head collapsing onto the bed, "I can't do it anymore," she muttered out of breath, "I'm so tired," she cried.
"Come on Miles," Luke cheered on, "just a few more pushes."
"She just needs to do one more push and the baby will be out," the doctor said looking at Nick.
"Miles, Miles, look at me," he pleaded, "you can do this. Just one more push, Mi, and then you'll be done, okay? Just one more push. Come on, you cannot give up now, one more push."
Miley shook her head before giving out one more push. A cry filled the air and Miley gasped collapsing in happiness.
"Congratulations," the doctor smiled, "you guys have a baby boy!"
Miley looked at the doctor puzzled, "boy? I thought we were having a baby girl."
"Happens all the time," the doctor shrugged.
Miley laughed looking at Nick, "we have a baby boy," she giggled.
"Would the father like to do the honors of cutting the umbilical chord," the doctor asked handing Nick the scissors.
Nick took the scissors tears of joy streaming wading in his eyes. After Nick cut the umbilical chord, a nurse carried the newborn over to the bathing station and once she cleaned him off and weighed him, she brought him over to Miley swaddled in a baby blue blanket, almost the same color as Miley's eyes.
Miley moved over on the hospital bed giving Nick room to lie down too. The nurse in the pink scrubs gave the baby boy swaddled in a blue blanket to Miley. Holding her son for the first time and Nick lying right next to her, she had never felt so happy, so whole, so at peace with the world.
"Wow," Demi whispered in amazement kissing her sister's forehead, "I'm so proud of you, Mi," she smiled tears falling down her brown eyes.
"Hi, my baby," Miley whispered giggling, "you look exactly like your daddy, don't you," she asked laughing. He had Nick's head of dark brown curls, Nick's mouth, but he had Miley's nose. The adorable baby hadn't opened his eyes yet so they couldn't tell if they were blue or brown.
"Wow," Nick exclaimed in excitement and disbelief, "I can't believe he's our's," he laughed kissing Miley's cheek.
"He's beautiful," Tish smiled holding her daughter's hand, "you did such a good job, baby girl."
Miley nodded, "it's so surreal," she laughed, "do you want to hold your son," the exhausted and worn out new mother questioned to the love of her life.
Nick nodded before gently taking their baby into his arms, He was speechless. He couldn't stop staring at their beautiful creation. This baby was Miley and his. He had created another person with the woman whom he was madly in love with. He was in awe of this surreal moment.
"What should we name him," Miley asked Nick rubbing the pad of her thumb over the newborn's soft cheek.
Nick had no idea. How does someone name a baby something tht he'd be called his entire life? He shrugged, "what do you want to name him?"
"Hmm…how about…Aidan Nicholas Grey?"
The teenage boy smiled, "'Nicholas Grey'? You want his middle name to be Nicholas?"
Miley nodded her head, "if that's okay with you."
"That's amazing," Nick chuckled, "Aidan," he smiled.
"I love it," Miley nodded, "hi, Aidan," she giggled kissing her baby's forehead tiredly.
Nick kissed her tenderly before looking into her eyes worried, "Miles, you need to get some sleep."
"I'm fine," she half-lied. The truth was, she was sore, her body ached, but why wouldn't it? She'd just given birth to her beautiful baby boy. Her eyes were begging to be closed, which was evident from the black bags under her eyes, but she didn't want to take her eyes off of that baby, off of her baby, off of their baby, their creation, she never wanted to take her eyes off of him, off of Aidan, or off of Nick.
Nick shook his head helping her to lie down, "you need to sleep," he whispered.
"No," she shook her head, "Aidan needs his mommy."
"Just feed him and then Nick's right, you need your sleep," the doctor commented, "congratulations, you two are going to be wonderful parents. So, Aidan Nicholas Grey? Is that the name you guys want for your son?"
"Yeah," Miley nodded taking her baby into her arms before sitting up a little and casually feeding her baby, a white blanket hiding her breast, "Aidan Nicholas Grey," she giggled smiling, "hey, Nick," she questioned.
"Yes, princess," he whispered kissing her forehead.
She smiled resting her head onto his shoulder, "I think Luke should be the god father and Emily should be the god mother, is that okay?"
Nick secretly glared at Luke who awkwardly looked away, "sure, baby," he smiled, "anything that you want."
Miley finished feeding Aidan and then Nick and Miley held him tightly enjoying the moment. Looking into each other's eyes, they laughed in complete and utter happiness. Seeing the flash of a camera, they looked around and saw Demi holding a camera smiling. This was it, Miley and Nick both thought, this is home, and they were right. They knew that the road of life wasn't going to be an easy one, but they didn't care because they always knew that they'd have each other and Aidan. They'd always have their family.
Nick kissed the blue eyed beauty passionately lacing their fingers together, they both smiled pulling away and putting their foreheads together.
"This is it, huh," Nick smiled nervously biting his lip. This was their moment. This was everything. This was their son. This was their family. They were each other's home and even through the secrets, they knew that everything would be okay.
A/N: Okay, so, here's the thing. I wanted to make this story a lot longer than 7 chapters, but I don't know how else to continue. I mean, sure, I have some ideas, but I have so many ideas for other stories too and to be honest, writing three stories at one time is really challenging. Plus, school is ending soon so I thought that it'd be good to end a story now. There might be a sequel. I haven't decided yet. Could you guys please please please do me a favor? Go check out TheMsBrandy1's stories here on FanFic. Her stories are so great and she's such a talented writer.
