Destiny's POV
"Dad! You've been telling me for years that you would tell me the story of you and Mom when I get older. What's the big deal about it?" I ask with a sassy attitude.
"Hey! I thought we discussed this whole attitude thing. I'm not putting up with it!" Dad says in a military tone.
"Please Dad. I really want to know." I beg.
"Miley Ray! Can you come here for a few minutes. Destiny wants to know the story." I yell.
I see Mom come downstairs.
"What's the story?" I ask.
"Well it happened when I was about your age. I meet this adorable boy. His name was Nicholas Jonas and I fell head over heels in love with him. He decided one day that he would show how much he loved me." Mom starts.
"Eww. Did you, you know..?" I ask.
"Yes Destiny we did. We were protected mind you but fate I guess had it's own idea. Destiny when you were little do you remember when you asked us why me and Mommy were so much younger then the other Moms and Dads? Well it's because you were born when me and your Mom were 16." Dad tells me.
I look at them shocked for a minute then I register the information.
"Wow. Why did you not just give me away like most other teen moms?" I ask.
"Because I couldn't bare the idea of giving you away. Please Destiny, trust me when I say it's worth waiting until you get older." Mom says to me.
"Mom why don't I see Grandma or Grandpa Jonas and why have I not met my other Grandma and Grandpa?" I ask.
"Well Destiny. It's hard to explain. Now is there anything else you want to know?" Dad asks.
"Yeah. Why can't I date anyone?" I ask him.
"Destiny. Not yet. I have to go to the gym." Dad says as he leaves out the door.
"What is his problem?" I ask.
"Nothing. He's just worried about you. He's seen girls in worse circumstances. He loves you to death Destiny just like I do. How about we go next door and ask Aunt Demi if she wants to go shopping?" Mom asks me.
"Ok but who is going to babysit Niles?" I ask.
"I'm sure if I ask Uncle Frankie or Uncle Kevin they won't mind. Kevin! Come here for a minute!" She yells.
"Yes Miley." Kevin says.
"Destiny and I are going to have some girl time. How about you and Frankie babysit Niles and the twins for the afternoon?" Mom asks.
"Fine." Kevin sighs.
"Thanks Kevin. Have I ever mentioned you,Frankie and Joe are my favorite brothers in laws." Mom says.
He gives off a giggle.
"We're your only brothers in law. Now you girls go." Kevin says.
"Noah! We're going shopping! Are you joining us?" I ask.
"Of course." Noah says as she comes downstairs.
"Bye Uncle Kevin, Uncle Frankie! Bye Hope,Faith and Niles." I say as we all leave.
We go next door and we see Aunt Demi but no Uncle Joe.
"Why hello. Come on in." Aunt Demi says.
"Jema! Come see Auntie Miley!" Aunt Demi yells.
"Auntie Miley!" She says as Mom picks her up.
"Dem, wanna join us all for a shopping day? Frank and Kevin are babysitting." Mom asks.
"Yeah. I'm just going to grab some of her toys." Aunt Demi says as she packs a little bag.
"Alright Jema. You're going to go visit your cousins and your Uncle Frankie and Uncle Kevin." Aunt Demi says.
"Ok Mommy." She says as we all walk outside.
"Kev! You got room for one more right?" Aunt Demi yells.
"Yup. Bring her in." Uncle Frankie yells.
Jema runs into the living room and we all get in the car.
"Dem, did Joe mention what time he would be home? Cause I'll make supper tonight but Nick didn't tell me what home he'd be home from the gym." Mom says.
"Joe said around 1730 (5:30)." Aunt Demi replies.
"What time is 1730?" I ask.
"It's the military way to say 5:30." Mom replies.
We get to the mall and we start shopping.
Nick's POV
At the gym
"Well that went over better then I thought it would. Now my next worry is boyfriends." I tell Joe as we are both on the bench presses.
"Well here is one way to look at it. Just tell the guy that you have a gun. I swear he will listen to whatever you say." Joe says.
"Well yeah but the thing is she'll kill me for scaring her boyfriend." I explain.
"Yeah. How was your tea party yesterday?" I ask.
"Don't talk about Nick. I'm stuffed to the brim of imaginary cookies and tea." Joe says.
"Wow and you'll have more I promise." I tell him.
"Hey Guys, I want to ask you two a question." The Sargent says.
I give Joe a look and we both drop our weights.
Frankie's POV
"Sweetie, Daddy is full of cookies." I tell Faith and she immediately starts to cry.
"Shhh baby girl! I'm sorry. Let's continue our tea party." I say as I give her a hug.
"Dadddy! I's wants a pony!" Hope whines.
Ehhhhh! I'm tempted to yell shut up! I take a deep breath.
"No Hope, I can't get you a pony. Come on and join our tea party." I tell her.
"Daddddy! Please!" She says.
"No sweetie. Come on and join your sister and your cousin's tea party." I tell her.
"Ok Daddy." She says as she sits on the floor with us.
Dear god where are the turn off buttons.
"Uncle Kevy. Where Daddy?" Niles asks.
"He's at work Niles. He'll be home soon." I tell him.
"Ok. He says as he goes back to his trucks and I go play with him.
I hear the phone ring and I rush to grab it.
"Hello..." Omg! I drop the phone.
