The Way I Loved You.
Epilogue.
3 years later ...
Nick walked into the living room of the house he shared with his wife and three children. Miley, his wife, was sitting on the couch, with their three year old son, Tyler, beside her, and their one year old daughter, Ellie, in her arms. Their eldest daughter, seven year old Abigail, was sitting on the floor, watching cartoons on the flat screen TV. Nick smiled at the sight of his family and walked over.
"Hey, Abs," he said, and immediately, Abigail jumped up and hugged her father's legs. "Dad!" she cried. Nick smiled and lifted her up. He kissed her head and ruffled her soft brown curls. She still looked the image of her mother, with the exception of the eyes she had gotten from her father.
Nick put Abigail down again and walked over to Tyler. He picked up his son and ruffled his hair. "Hey, Ty," he said. Tyler smiled. "Daddy!" he cried, just like Abigail had. Nick smiled at his only son. He was the image of himself. He had Nick's brown curls and the same facial features. Except he had his mother's deep blue eyes. The eyes Nick had fallen in love with.
Nick put Tyler back down and sat down beside Miley. Miley handed their youngest child to him, and Nick looked down at the beautiful little girl. She was a mixture of her parents, with Nick's eyes and nose, but Miley's mouth and hair. "Hey, El," he said to the little girl. Ellie giggled. "Dada!" she cried. Nick smiled. Abigail walked over. "Mom, can I take her to play dollies with me?" Abigail asked, and Miley nodded while smiling. Nick placed Ellie on the ground. Abigail took her hand and helped her into the playroom. Tyler jumped down and followed them.
Nick turned to Miley and smiled. "Hello, beautiful," he said. "Hmm, hello, Mr. Gray," Miley said with a small smirk playing on her lips. "How was your day?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her onto his lap. "As entertaining as it can get when you're leaving a seven year old to school and watching a three year old and a one year old," Miley replied, playing with Nick's curls.
"Tyler didn't paint the walls in his room again, right?" Nick asked. Miley giggled. "No, Nick. He didn't," she replied. Nick smiled back at her and kissed her head. "I missed you at work today," he said softly. "I missed you too. But you're home for the next two weeks, right?" Miley asked. Nick nodded. "Don't you just love Christmas break?" he asked. Miley smiled at him. "We need to sort out our Christmas Day plans," she said.
"My mom wanted me to tell you that your family is having dinner with my family this year. Everyone's coming. She wants to know if you're interested in bringing the kids to my parents' place and eating with everyone there," Nick said. Miley smiled. "Sounds fun. Tyler's been waiting to see Kimberly for days," she said. Nick smiled and stroked her hair as she continued to tell him things that had happened through the day.
"Ellie can go a few steps on her own now. But then she falls over. Abigail's so good to her, though. Every time she falls, Abs just helps her back up again without a complaint. We should be really proud of her," Miley said. "Babe, we already are proud of her. We've been proud of her for years," he replied. Miley smiled and said, "I know, but I guess we never really show her how proud we are of her. We're always so busy trying to stop Tyler from going crazy and stopping Ellie from crawling away."
Nick nodded and took Miley's hands in her own. "How about, some day during the Christmas break, you take Abi out shopping or something. Don't worry about Ty and El. I'll watch them. I think Abs deserves some attention for once since Tyler was born," Nick said. Miley smiled and nodded. "I think she'd really like that."
"Alright. Well, Joe and I are going to that new bar in town tonight. So I better go and get changed," Nick said. He started to get up, but Miley pulled him down and closer to her by his tie. She brought their faces incredibly close together. So close that they could feel each other breathing. "Don't drink too much," she whispered and pulled back, smirking. "You, baby, are a tease," Nick said. Miley laughed and stood up, walking upstairs.
"That is so hot," he muttered to himself, and ran up after her.
