AN : you guys are lucky i posted this ; i just want to get it over with !,
"Yeah, I'm glad we can still be friends, you know after everything that has gone down. Thanks." I gave him a hug, which I think we stayed in a little too long, but hey we haven't seen each other in six years. When we pulled apart I crossed my arms over my chest and looked anywhere besides at him, as he scratched the back of his neck. We weren't really used to this sort of relation yet.
"So I guess I'll just go back to my room then." He said looking me in the eye.
"Yeah.. I guess you should." I looked down at my clasped hands. He grabbed my face and kissed my cheek then walked towards the door. I kept thinking that if he snuck a glance back towards me, then he still loved me. I shook my head back and forth disapproving of my thoughts and totally missed the moment altogether if it even happened. I sighed and laid down to try to get some rest.
I stayed up most the night thinking about the kiss on the cheek and how he shouldn't have done it at this early stage of friendship, but I also thought about how I liked it so much. Eventually I fell asleep and got about 3 hours worth of.

Nick's POV_
"So, tonight Miley and Chase are going to watch Michael?" I asked sipping my orange juice.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure. If they're still up to do it." Layla said washing her dishes.
"Well we'll still be happy to do it." Miley walked in. "I love that little kid, he's such a sweetheart." She finished.
"Yeah, thanks he learned from the best." I smirked.
She laughed her amazing laugh and then slapped my shoulder lightly. "Yeah I'm sure he did learn from Layla." She joked. "So, do you guys have any cereal?" She asked looking more towards Layla.
"Mhmm, in the cabinet. There's only Lucky Charms and Honey Nut Cheerios, sorry if you don't like them." Layla said sympathetically.
"Thank you, it's cool I love Lucky Charms!" She said giddily. "Okay so when are you guys leaving?" She asked grabbing the Lucky Charms out of the cabinet and the milk out of the refrigerator.
"Around 7-ish, I suppose." I said, and smiled up at Layla thinking of the night ahead of us.
"Okay, so me and Chase have time to go check out that school where they filmed Twilight, right?" She asked after swallowing her second spoonful of cereal. Geez Nick stay focused, don't count how many spoonfuls of cereal she has and will be taking. That's a little creepy. I fought to look away, but failed miserably. I got up and excused myself, to go check on Michael.
I walked into little Mikey's room, he was asleep and I didn't want to wake him up because oh boy does it take a long time to get him to sleep. So I went to sit on the rocking chair in the corner of the room. I stuck my head in between my knees and tried to control my breathing. Why does Miley have to come here and make things difficult for me?!
"Hey..?" Miley said with a confused look on her face. ",Why you in here?"
"Well I thought I heard him crying so I came in here to check on him. Turns out no crying, just a bunch of wax in my ears." I responded sticking a finger in one of my ears.
"A little to much information there, Nicholas." I melted as she said my full name. "Well Layla asked me to come check on him, too. Looks like you got it covered though, but you guys must have parent-telekinesis." She laughed, then walked out of the room. I sighed and rubbed my temples.

Miley's POV_
"Okay so you have my cell number & Nick's cell number, right?" Layla asked for the fifty millionth time.
"Correct." I sang.
"And you do know the 9-1-1 emergency number right?!" She asked again.
"YES! Layla, I think I'm capable of calling 9-1-1. Why are you asking me all of this? I'm not a 13 year old babysitter!" I complained.
"Yeah well sorry. It's just I've never left Mikey with anyone. He's my first kid, I'm so sorry Miley." She said glancing over my shoulder at little Mike in his booster chair.
"It's all good, I just wish you would trust me more." I said pushing Nick and Layla out the door, so that they'd finally leave for their date.
"Okay so one last time. You have my number and Nick's--"
"Yes Layla, I have 911, your number, Nick's number, and now I think it's time for you guys to have a little fun." I winked at the both of them, while an uneasy face crossed Nick's face.
"Yeah, c'mon Layla we might be late if we don't leave now." Nick said pulling her hand. I watched them drive away and sighed heavily.
"FINALLY!" I yelled while punching my fists into the air. It took about a half hour to get them outta here. Chase walked into the room laughing.
"You finally got them to leave I'm guessing?" He smiled. Taking my face in his hands. I nodded before our lips connected.
"WAHHH! WAHHH!" Mikey interrupted us. I pulled away with hesitation and went to Mikey.
Picking him up, "awww Mikey what's wrong?" I said. I bounced him on my shoulder.

Nick's POV_
"Awwwe Nick you shouldn't have!" Layla squealed happily.
"Oh but I did." I responded coyly kissing her soft lips. Did I mention that I rented a horse drawn carriage.
"This is so cuute." She squealed again, a little louder this time.
"Haha," I laughed in her ear sending a ripple of chills throughout her body that I could feel from the touch. " I know right?! I try sometimes." I smirked.
The driver person drove us to a place that I discovered weeks before. It was a waterfall with a little mini lake. There was a cliff right in front of the waterfall to look down on the mini lake, and it was just beautiful. Something that belonged in a movie or just belonged with a perfect couple like me and Layla to admire it.
"OhMy, Nick this is beautiful." She kissed my hand. "How did you find it?" She asked amused.
"Well I was just walking around and happened to stumble across the amazingest place on earth, and I wanted to show it to the amazingest girl on earth." Right when I said the amazingest girl on earth I instantly thought of Miley. I know that's bad, but I couldn't stop that thought from running through my mind. It's all I could think. I'm such a terrible husband. I made the wrong choice back six years ago when I left Miley for Layla. WHOA! Nick, rewind! You do NOT regret it, you have Mikey now, and Layla. You love Layla. Yeahhh.. Layla. I convinced myself, then grinned.
When we were done eating our food, at the picnic I prepared, we started to head home. She was leaning into my chest while my cheek laid across the top of her head, "Layla I really hope you liked tonight." I smiled knowing she probably did.
"Of course I did. It was so beautiful, and the food was scrumptious." She giggled to herself shaking my body with hers. "I wonder how Miley and Chase are doing with our little boy." She said out loud mostly towards herself.
"I pressume that they are probably curled up on the couch while Mikey is asleep." I whispered into her hair.
"Yeah, hopefully." She sighed and closed her eyes.

Chase's POV_
"Mikey! MIKEY! Get back here right now!" I yelled chasing after the little two year old. "Michael I swear if you don't give me my wallet back I will .. I will.. I'll eat all the cookies so you can't have anymore!" I threatened knowing he was like a cookie monster and adored all the delicious cookies his mom makes him.
He stopped dead in his tracks and turned around, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Don't take away the cookies. That's not fair! Please, no!" He started crying. Wow that was not something I was expecting.
"Uhm Mikey…? The wallet." I stated as he handed it over. "Okay, I won't eat the cookies but no more of that okay. Why don't you settle down and go to sleep it's almost…" I trailed off looking at my watch.
"It's 11 o'clock." Miley stated rubbing her eyes. "Don't you have a bedtime little monster?" She joked. Michael was in love with Miley. You know the whole 'little-kid-has-crush-on-babysitter' type deal.
"Only if you do." he replied grinning. Damn did this little kid have game.
"Yep I do, and I think it was like 2 hours ago, so why don't we go to bed." She yawned, grabbing Mikey's little dainty hand.
"Okay, fine." He said defeated, for once. Miley put him back in the crib and then literally crashed onto our bed. About 30 minutes later Nick and Layla come walking through the door all lovey-dovey and kissing.
"Guys, be quiet. Miley's asleep." I whispered trying to hush Layla's constant giggling.
"Oh sorry. Hey! How'd it go with little Mike?" Nick asked.
"Well, we gave him one cookie. ONE COOKIE, and he bounces off the walls. He was like crazy. Constant running and chasing. I'm beat. We just put him to sleep about 30 minutes ago. Then Miley crashed, she was pretty tired." I myself was getting a little on the sleepy side.
"Really? Well he must of just been all giddy from the company. He's not used to having people over. Sorry, so I'm sure you probably don't want to ever do it again?" Layla questioned biting her thumb nail.
"I don't know. I mean It was fun until about 9." I laughed to myself, "So, you're gunna have to ask Miley about that one."
"Okay well I think It's about time we all go to bed." Nick yawned, causing a yawn session to go on. Like they say once you see a yawn; you gotta yawn.
