A few weeks later...
"Nicky..." I said sleepily as I heard Ryliee whaling from the nursery.
"Okay, okay. I'm going." Nick said rolling out of bed.
"Wait. No, I'm sorry I'll go. Go back to sleep." I said getting up and giving Nick a kiss on the cheek. I went to the nursery and picked up my screaming child and turned on the light. "What's wrong honey?" I said softly to my little girl as I sat in Nick's rocking chair. I began to rock in the chair and Ryliee began to fall asleep. Now that I look at her,she looks equally like me and Nick but she has blue eyes like mine.
"My two favorite girls." I heard Nick say. I looked up and smiled. "Miles, I think we should talk." Nick said coming into the room and sitting on the stool next to me.
"Really? What about?" I asked getting Ryliee's bottle from on top of the dresser.
"The wedding. And the house." Nick said looking down.
"What about it?" I asked kind of worried.
"Well, first of all we really need to get Ry a babysitter. We need to pack and it seems like we won't be able to do that. I mean this child seems to always need something." Nick said raising his voice a little.
"Okay well you need to relax first. She's finally starting to fall asleep. And we have several babysitters Nick. And I mean this is the way teen parenting is going to be like because honestly if we didn't 'make love' as you called it, then we wouldn't be in this situation now would we Nicholas."
"Miley, I'm not trying to start anything right now. But ever since-"
"Ever since the baby was born, we can't seem to have a simple conversation without fighting about it." I said starting to choke up. I got up and put Ryliee gently in her crib and left the nursery. I ran down the stairs and out the door. I stopped in the middle of the driveway and began to sob.
"I'm sorry Miley." someone said from behind me. I felt two strong arms wrapping around my waist. I turned around and rested my head on Nick's chest. I pulled away and looked up at him. "Miley, I-I think maybe we should...take a break. We should just call off the wedding and take a break from each other." Nick said. I saw a few tears leave his eyes but I wiped them away. But as I did tears fell from my eyes rapidly.
"No. Please Nick. Please don't leave me. I need you here with me and I don't think I can make it without you. You help me through it all and I-I can't..." I said quickly as more sobs escaped my mouth. Tears wouldn't stop falling.
"Yes Miley. You can make it without me. You were fine before you met me. If you didn't meet me then you wouldn't have a baby. You wouldn't be away from your mom and it's all my fault. I screwed up a life that could've been great." Nick said. I pushed him away.
"No! This is pure...bullshit Nick! We have a child together and just because things aren't working out as planned you're just gunna give up on me? You didn't screw up my life Nick. I would've been miseraable. I wouldn't have had Ryliee. I wouldn't have had my fans. I wouldn't have had any of that. And most importantly, I wouldn't have you. C'mon let's just go inside and go to sleep and everything will be just fine. We're just tired." I said as more tears spilled.
"Miley, I-I'm sorry. This isn't a fairytale Miley. You just don't wake up and figure everything will be okay. This is life Miley. And this is not how I want my life to work. I'm sorry Miley, I really am." Nick said. Then he dashed to the car,got in and backed out of the driveway and drove off. I stood there stunned. Unable to move. What do you call it when you become suddenly numb and heartbroken at the same time? I don't know but whatever it is, it's very painful. I seemed as if a statue. Frozen. Tears had stopped falling. I don't know what to do with myself. But I then remember Ryliee. The only one I have left.
Nick's P.O.V
What the hell did I just do? What the fuck is my problem? I mean I know everything is going terribly wrong but why did I have to go and leave her. By herself. With my daughter. I should give her some space. But for the good of our family...right?
Miley's P.O.V
"Ryliee, hold on. Mommy has to finish packing sweetie." I said to Ryliee who was pulling my hair as I tried to put her on her bounce chair. I finally got her to stop and picked up my phone. I dialed Demi's number and waited for her to answer.
"Hello?" I heard her answer
"Hey Demi?" I asked into the phone.
"Oh hey Miley!How are you holding up sweetie?" She said. It's been about a month since Nick left me and Ryliee and everything seemed like it was falling apart without him around.
"I'm hanging in there. How have you been?"
"Well ya know, no complaints."
"Oh well that's good."
"Yeah. So how's Ryliee doing?" Demi asked.
"She's good. And actually she's the reason I'm calling. Do you mind coming over to play with her for a while? I have to finish packing. The moving truck is coming tomorrow and we're leaving the next day." I said. Ryliee had been staying with Denise and Paul and Nick for a while since I had to paint the house and get things set up for it. Plus, I figured Nick deserved to see his daughter after leaving.
"Oh of course I don't mind. I'll be over in a few." She said.
"Thank you so much." I said.
"No problem. I love hanging with you guys." Demi said truthfully. She did love coming over to watch Ryliee.
"Okay then. I'll see you in a few. Bye." I said.
"Okay. Bye." Demi said and I hung up my phone and put it down. I looked over at Ryliee who was playing with a glass bowl.
"Oh no honey! Put that down." I said rushing over to her.
A few minutes later...
"Hey I'm here!" I heard Demi yell.
"Okay hold on!" I yelled down. I came down stairs and pulled Demi into a hug.
"Okay, where's my little girl?" Demi asked pulling away.
"Upstairs. You can go up into the nursery." I said grabbing an empty box.
"Okay. Have fun packing." She said heading up the stairs.
"Will do." I said with a giggle. Half of the house was already packed because Nick had started before he left. But I had to finish up. I packed up the room last night when Ryliee went to sleep but no later than that she started screaming. So I need to finish that. About three hours later I finished. Wow. I work fast. I headed up to the nursery. Demi nor Ryliee were in there. I looked in my room and saw two sleeping girls in my bed. I smiled at that.I left them to sleep and went down stairs to order some pizza. After that I went up to wait for it.
"Demi. Demi. Wake up." I said shaking her. She stirred a little then opened her eyes.
"Oh hey. What time is it?" She asked sleepily sitting up.
"It's about 5:30. I just ordered some pizza if you wanna stay. I should get Ryliee to her room though." I said as I closed the blinds. I have only have to pack up the nursery a little bit then just take down some stuff in my room.
"Okay.I'll go downstairs and wait for the pizza guy to come." She said getting up. I went over to Ryliee and picked her up. I brought her to the nursery and set her in her crib. I left and went downstairs to see Demi getting the pizza. I came down and she put the pizza on the coffe table. I plopped down on the couch and grabbed my guitar. I started strumming.
"I miss you,
I miss your smile.
And I still shed a tear every once and a while.
Even though it's different now,
You're still here some how.
My heart won't let you go.
And I need you to know,
I miss you Shalalalalaa I miss you..." I sang. I set down the guitar and turned my head to see a picture of me and Nick that I forgot to pack. We look so happy.
"Dem. I miss Nicky. Should I call him?" I asked her picking up my phone.
"Miley, I think you should do what your heart tells you. If you just wanna hear his voice then go for it." Demi said taking a bite from her pizza.
"Okay. Here I go." I clicked the speed dial button and waited. I haven't talked to Nick since he left. I saw him once which was at Denise's but he didn't even look at me. I heard a click from the other line.
"Hello?" I heard him say.
"Nick?" I asked.
"Yeah. Miley? Is everything alright?" He asked.
"Oh yeah of course. I-I uhm just wanted to see how you were doing." I said getting choked up.
"Oh okay. I'm doing well thanks. How are you?" He asked.
"Oh uhm...I-I'm great. I-I'm wonderful actually. I-I-I'm....I'm miserable Nick. I never thought things would come to the way they are and I really need you." I cried. I stepped out to the front porch and sat down in the chair and sobbed. "Remember when you proposed to me? And I didn't talk for like five minutes." I said.
"Yeah." Nick said
"I was thinking of how you'd be a great father and a great husband. I thought of how I want our baby's parents to live together and be together and happy. Look at us Nick. When I saw that you didn't even look at me when I dropped Ryliee off it really hurt me. I am still madly in love with you Nick. I miss you and all I want is to touch you or look at you. I want us to look at each other like when we were still together. I just want you to love me back. Please Nick. Please. Just come back to me. Baby please come back." I sobbed.
"Look up." Nick said. I lifted my head up and to my surprise Nick was walking towards me shutting his phone. I pressed the end button and stood up. Nick stepped up to me and grabbed both of my hands.
"I missed you too baby. I love you Miley." Nick whispered.
"I love you too Nicky. Please don't leave me again." I said snaking my arms around his neck and resting my head on his chest. I could feel him wrap his arms around my waist.
" I won't. But can I try again?" he asked and I pulled away giving him a confused look. He let go of my waist and kneeled down on one knee and held my hand. "Miley, will you marry me?" he asked one last time.
"Yes." I said with a wide smile. I pulled him up and kissed him passionatley.
The next day...
Nick helped me with the movers and we moved everything into our house. Our house is bigger than our previous one. I painted Ryliee's room pink with black strips. I bought a bunch of picture frames. All we need are some pictures so we can hang pictures all over the house. After we unpacked everything we headed home for an uncomfortable night sleeping on the nursery floor. We weren't going to actually move into the house until tomorrow. Ryliee was staying over at Denise and Paul's because she has an extra crib there and we had to move everything in today.
"Nicky, when can I start singing and going on tour again?" I asked him as I put away the vaccum that was provided by Lisa's family.
"Well, when Ryliee is older and after we're married." He said setting up our sheets for bed.
"But that's way too long." I said.
"Well we can start writing and recording again if you want. But, it's gunna be tough with finishing school, work, and taking care of Ry." Nick said.
"I can do it Nick. Especially with your help." I said with a smile.
"Are you sure Miles? I mean it's gunna be a big responsibility." He said sitting down on the floor.
" I know. But I also know that I can do this." I said grabbing my digital camera and joining him.
"Okay Miles. We'll let Kevin know and we can start as soon as we get settled in." He said.
"Okay. Here, let's take a picture." I said pulling him into the shot and snapping a photo.
"Why are we taking pictures?" Nick asked with a confused expression on his face.
"I bought a bunch of picture frames to put around the house and we don't really have very many pictures." I said getting ready to snap a photo of myself. " Your turn." I said getting ready to take a photo of him. Then he frowned. "Oh c'mon Nicky. This one is going in the baby's room." I said getting ready again. Then he smiled. "That's cute." I said with a smile. I put down my camera and pulled up the covers and layed down. I grabbed the camera when Nick layed down and snapped another picture. "Another cute one."
"C'mon Miley. No more. We'll take more tomorrow okay?" He said sleepily.
"Okay. G'night Nicky." I said cuddling up to him.
"G'night Miles. I love you babe." Nick said.
" I love you too. And thank you for coming back." I said kissing his chest. He then kissed my head and we fell asleep.
