So you guys warmed my heart with your reviews last time. I didn't think I was going to get this up today but here it is. I really hope you like it.
With A Little Faith
Chapter 12- Mrs. Gray
"Okay, she just ate breakfast so she shouldn't want anything to eat 'till noon. Now she'll probable want grape juice and I usually fill half of her cup with juice and the other with water. Oh, she'll probably want her pink cup" Miley told Demi. Demi and Joe had agreed to babysit while Nick and Miley were visiting his mom. Demi was barely listening to Miley go on about what to do and Joe was busy playing with the Mackenzie.
"Is that all?" Demi asked.
"I swear I'm forgetting something" Miley answered. "But if you have any problems you have my cell. If you run out of things to do, just turn on the music channel on the TV. She loves to dance."
"Miles, relax" Demi commanded her friend. "I've babysat her before. Calm down because I've met Mrs. Gray and she can smell fear." Miley tensed up. Demi sighed and placed a hand on her friend's shoulder. "Just Breathe! Denise will love you."
The sound of a car horn outside signaled them that Nick was here. Miley straightened her white, flowy tank top. "How do I look?" she asked frantically.
Demi laughed. Without even looking at Miley's tank top and blank skinny jeans, she answered. "Good, now go, Nick's waiting."
Miley nodded and headed towards the door. She opened it then took one last look at her daughter. "By Kenzie, I love you."
"Bye Mommy" the little blonde called.
"Miley, go" Demi instructed.
"Alright" Miley started out the door. She paused and turned around again. "Thanks, again" Miley smiled. Nick honked the horn again.
Demi laughed. "You're welcome, what are friends for? Now go! You look gorgeous and Nick is getting impatient."
"Right" Miley waved and walked down the side walk. She climbed into the passenger seat and looked at Nick. "Patience is a virtue."
"Nope" he corrected. "It's a waste of time."
"Nuh-uh" she whined like a little kid. "Colossians 3:12-14."(AN: I know I said I'd keep religion out of this but I just had to put this in there. It's actually part of a conversation I had with my mom. And yes, I corrected her. Sorry if I offended anyone, is there any chance you could pretend you didn't read that?)
"Well it's great to know you've been reading your Bible" Nick chuckled.
"Meeting you has had some effect" she stated.
"Hey, I already know I'm the coolest guy out there" he replied, getting cocky.
"Shut up and drive" she snapped.
"So now you're quoting Rihanna?" he asked, smirking.
"Shut up!" she laughed.
Miley was constantly fixing different things that didn't need to be fixed. Nick just laughed at her as she ran her fingers through her gorgeous, auburn curls and tugged at the rim of her shirt making sure she was wrinkle free. She shot him a death glare and he sighed.
"Relax, you look amazing" he assured her. "And even if you didn't, she'd love you anyway. She doesn't really care about what people look like, unless it's her kids wearing jeans on Sunday morning."
"Are you sure?" she asked.
"Yes Mi," she blushed at his nickname for her. "Now come on" he offered his hand, which she took, smiling. The two walked into the hospital and Nick led her to his mother's room.
"Nicholas?" Denise asked as he stepped through the door. She was sitting, wide awake in her bed, watching TV.
"Hey Mom" he walked over and gave her a hug.
"Hello" his mother greeted. Miley just stood in the doorway, smiling at the two. Denise looked at her. "Nicholas?" she asked sternly without taking her focus off of Miley. Miley became nervous.
"Yes Mom?" he asked.
"You gonna introduce this pretty lady or are you just gonna let her stand there? Didn't I teach you better? Where are your manners?" Nick laughed and moved over to Miley.
"Mom, this is Miley" he introduced her. "Miley, this is my mother."
Miley held out her hand to Mrs. Gray. "It's a pleasure to meet you. From what Nick has told me, you're a remarkable lady."
"From looking at you, because he didn't tell me about you," she glared at her son. "You are a beautiful, well mannered, young woman. I think we're going to get along just fine."
"Thank you" Miley smiled.
"So, Miley," Mrs. Gray changed the subject. "What do you do for a living?"
"I'm a waitress" Miley answered.
"Mom, I'm sure Miley doesn't want to be interrogated" Nick suggested.
"Oh, Nicholas" Miley looked at him. "That is no way to treat your mother. This is the woman that raised you, treat her with respect."
"Now you're teasing me" Nick rolled his eyes.
"Oh, heavens no" Miley smirked. Denise laughed.
"Miley, we have to go" Nick called.
"Really?" Miley whined. "But your mom and I were just getting started on our conversation!"
"You've been talking to each other for four hours" he exclaimed. "Besides, I wanted to take you to dinner on the way home and I'm sure Mackenzie misses you."
"Fine" she groaned. She stood up and looked back at the older lady. "It was really nice meeting you Mrs. Gray."
"Denise" Nick's mother corrected.
"Right, sorry Denise" Miley smiled.
"It was a pleasure to meet you as well. Now, next time you come, I want you to bring Mackenzie" Denise instructed.
"Alright" Miley agreed. She walked towards Nick.
"Bye mom" he smiled.
"Goodbye Nicholas" she smiled back.
Nick and Miley walked down the hallway holding hands. "Thanks for bringing me" Miley stated out of the blue. Nick looked at her.
"I promised you didn't I?" he asked.
"Yeah but I wasn't supposed to take all you're time to rehearse to talk to her" Miley apologized. "I'm really sorry."
"It's okay" Nick shrugged. "I planned this anyway. I had a feeling you two would get along. I practiced in front of Joe and Selena. They're not mom, but they're not bad either. They think this means they don't have to show up on Sunday."
"I see" Miley laughed. By now they were in the parking lot. Nick opened her door for her. She smiled and climbed in her seat.
Nick climbed into the driver's seat. "Thanks for coming with me today" he stated.
"Hey, you asked" Miley laughed.
Nick and Miley had stopped by Demi and Joe's and picked up a sleeping Mackenzie. Nick gave the mother and daughter a ride back to their house. They were currently parked outside of Miley's house in silence.
"Miley?" Nick asked before she got out.
"Yes?" she looked at him.
"Ever since we met, I've liked you" he stated. "And when I finally asked you out, and you said yes, I was ecstatic. Then we had an amazing time on our date. And you get along with my mother."
"Where you gettin' at?" she asked.
Nick laughed. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
She inhaled sharply and smiled. "Of course" she answered and leaned in. They shared a passionate kiss that was rudely interrupted.
"Mommy?" a tired Mackenzie woke up.
Miley looked at Nick and laughed. "I'm being paged." She got out of the car and carried Mackenzie to her door. She unlocked the front door and set the little girl down in her living room. "Hold on baby, I'll be right back."
She ran down the sidewalk and knocked on Nick's window. He rolled it down and leaned over. "Yes?" he asked.
"I just wanted to say, I had a great time tonight" she smiled.
"Me two Miles" he smiled.
Sweet right? Tell me what you think in a review, please?
