Chapter 20

Joe's POV

In the middle of teaching, we get a knock on the door. Osment and I rush to hide the chalkboards and get everyone in the bathroom. The person knocks again and I raise my gun and open the door.

"Private, lower the gun." The officer says.

I drop my gun and I tell Osment it's ok, it's only one of our officers. She gets everyone out and the girls are scared.

"Don't worry, they nice." I assure them in Afghan.

"Wow your language skills are improving Private. Now I have a letter from home an it says on the front that it's urgent that you get it." The officer tells me as he hands me an envelope with urgent in Miley's handwriting.

I open it and see 2 notes one addressed to me the other to Nick. I open my note first. Dear Joe, You will be pleased to know that you are officially a father today May 16th 2011. Inside the other envelope are some pictures of your beautiful healthy baby.

We miss you lots , Miley.

I open the picture envelope and I see pictures of my beautiful little girl. On the back I see her name on the back of the pictures. Jema Miley Jonas. I love the name especially the mix of our two first names.

"Osment, I need to..." I start.

"I'll do today's lesson. You have the day off." Osment says being understanding. I rush across the street with my envelope hidden.

"It's me." I state as I knock.

"Oh Hey Joe why are you here during lessons." Nick asks.

"Nick, you're officially an uncle." I tell him. His jaw drops.

"What! No way! You got any pictures?" He says.

"You know your wife too well." I tell him as I show him the pictures.

"Aww she's beautiful man. Congratulations, Now don't screw her up." Nick says jokingly.

"If you manage to not screw up a kid at 15, I'm sure I'll be fine at 24." I laugh.

"Dude, just one sec. Girls class is done early for today come back tomorrow." Nick says in Afghan.

The girls leave and Nick boils some water for tea.

"Miley sent you a note too." I state as I hand it to him and Nash comes and sits next to us.

"Thanks man." He says as he takes the note from me.

A week later with Miley, Demi,Kevin, Jema

Miley's POV

Destiny is sleeping over at Grandma's while we get Demi and the baby settled in.

"Miles, you stay on the couch. You're almost 9 months pregnant. You need some sleep and you need to relax." Kevin says.

"Gosh Kevin, you sound just like my husband last time." I joke.

"I don't need your husband coming home and using his gun to my head." Kevin says jokingly. Suddenly I know the feeling that I'm feeling. "Kevin, Demi it's time to go." I say.

They look at me confused for a sec then they nod and we get in the car. Demi dropped of Jema at Denise's before we went to the hospital.

Kevin's POV

I go up to the desk and the same lady is there.

"This will be the last time you see me for at least 9 months." I tell her.

"I don't care as long as I get paid." The lady says as she pages a doctor and Nancy for me.

"Only the father of the child can go in." The doctor says.

"Listen her husband is in Afghanistan. He can't be here. Now me and the girl next to me named Demi are here representing the father of this child." I say to the doctor.

"Sir I'm sorry I can't..."The doctor starts.

"Dr. Adams listen, I know these two girls and this guy believe me you'll have no problems with them. Second I think they have written consent for Nick who is the baby's daddy." Nancy tells him.

"Alright, lets get this over with." The doctor says as we all follow him.

A while later

Demi's POV

"Good to see you awake . Now would you like to see your baby boy?" Nancy asks as she hands Miley the baby.

He looks so adorable he defiantly has Nick's face minus the eyes, They are Miley's for sure.

"What's his name Miles?" I ask her.

"I'm thinking Niles Kalvin Jonas. Kevin has to get some credit for putting up with us for 9 months." She says.

"Believe me, it's my pleasure. It's my way of giving to my brothers. It's my second job...now Demi and I should go get Destiny so she can meet her new baby brother." Kevin says.

"Mommy!" Destiny half yells as Kevin Sr. comes into the room.

"Destiny, Shhh your little brother wants some sleep." Miley says.

I get some more pictures and I tell Kevin Jr. that we should all go and let Miley get some rest. We all leave and Kevin and I get the pictures developed and we get to the post office.

"Ahh you again. What can I do for you." The man asks.

"This is a letter for my other brother who is a solider." Kevin says.

"Ah. This will be sent right away, but I also have a letter for you from the soldier by the name Private J Jonas.

"Ok, thanks. Make sure this reaches the solider as soon as possible, it's extremely important just like that last letter." I tell the postman as I hand him the letter.

"Yes Mam. You have my word." The postman says as we leave to pick up Jema.

"Thanks Denise." I tell her. "No problem. Bring her over whenever. How is Miley and the baby?" She asks.

"Fine. It's a baby boy. Niles Kalvin Jonas. He's so cute. He's got Nick's face but Miley's eyes." I state as I hand her a picture and I take Jema from her.

"Awww He's so cute. Now don't you ever hesitate to ask me to babysit. I love my grandkids." Denise says as we drive away.

The next morning/Evening with Nick and Nash

Nick's POV

I hear banging on the door. Nash rolls over and up into the bathroom. I raise my gun and open the door.

"Wow, we taught you well. Now, I know it's only 3am but this letter had super urgent on it so we know you'd want it right away. Now we have to go." The soldiers says as they leave handing me a letter.

Nash comes back out and back to the bed. I turn on a lantern and I open the letter. I see a note first.

Dear Nick,

If you get this then I love the post office. Now get Joe over or go over there before you open the smaller envelope. Your wife told me to write that. Miley and Des send their love to you and tell Joe I love him. Kevin is holding up rather well for only having a few hours of sleep at a time.

Signed DDL-J, MRC-J, JMJ, PKJ, DRJ, NKJ.

The last set of initials I couldn't get. I rush across the street. I knock lightly.

"Bro, don't worry, it's me." I say.

He opens the door with his gun pointed then lets me in.

"Dude, it's 3am I need sleep. What the hell are you doing here?" He asks.

"Demi told me to come see you before I open this." I tell him.

"Oh ok. Let's open it." Joe says.

I open it to find some pictures of my cute adorable son. I feel tears down my face. Oh wow he's beautiful. Joe puts him arm around me.

"Dude, he's adorable. Now let's hope he turns out better then his daddy who knocked up a girl at 15." Joe jokes.

"Yeah, he won't be having sex until he's married even if I have to scare him out of it." I say half joking.

"You got the first girl and the first boy and the first one to have kids yet you're the second youngest. Two bucks Des makes the first none wise move and gets knocked up first." He says jokingly

"No, Two bucks says it's Jema." I say as a joke.

"How can you make such dry jokes at this hour." Osment asks.

"I think we needed a good laugh. It's been a while. Oh look he's got Miley's eyes...damn those eyes are impossible to say no to. Just like when Des smiles. Niles Kalvin Jonas I love it, combining our 2 names. It will be a long 3 more months." I complain jokingly.

About 2 1/2 months later

Miley's POV

"Demi, I'm going out for a bit. I have some errands to run and some groceries. I'll be back in about an hour." I state.

"Sure. Kev is going to be back from work at around 14:00 (2:00)." Demi says as I grab my keys.

"Thanks for watching my little boy and Des. Remember call Denise if there is any problems." I state as I go out the door.

I get the groceries and I turn down a street and I'm driving then, Black.

Man's POV

I stop my text and I drop my phone. I get out of my car and I grab my phone and call ambulance. I can't believe I got in an accident like this!
