Chapter 35
Miley POV
"Ready?" Nick whispered as I nodded.
I took his hand and slowly slid off the bed, carefully straightening my body trying hard to keep my balance. I took a deep breath in before taking a confident step, the drugs caused me to get dizzy but I was off the strong stuff now so therefore I was more stable of my feet. Slowly everything was getting better and thankfully everyone I'd infected was now fine and Dani nor the baby had contracted it, which was so lucky. I looked at Nick smugly and he rolled his eyes carefully letting go of me. I took a few more steady steps around the room, I had no dizziness, no headache and my chest wasn't even hurting anymore. I looked at the doctor as he nodded gazing at me and I gave a huge grin.
"Fine, you can walk. Right papers are out the front. I'll see you in a week."
I clapped my hands together grinning, "Yay, thank you, thank you, thank you! You have no idea how much I officially hate this place, I don't think I can deal with sitting in this same room any longer."
"And I don't think the nurses can deal with you complaining, so it's a win, win situation. Miley I will see you next week, and don't even think about doing any kind of movie or singing in the next week." He ordered as Nick wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Don't worry Doc, I won't let her. Thanks man…"
"No problem."
The doctor opened the door and left as I pulled Nick into a hug and he laughed, kissing the side of my head. "I'm so happy you're okay! I never want this to happen again beautiful, because these last three weeks have been hell. But you know what this means don't you?" Nick asked letting go of me and I shrugged.
"I get to see Matthew finally."
Nick shook his head brushing the hair out of my face and leaned forward, "No, it means we can make out again. And I don't have to worry about you coughing blood all over me anymore…" He whispered and pressed his lips against mine.
I ran my hand through his hair as we deepened the kiss and Nick pushed me back against one of the chairs. He pressed his hands on my lower back squeezing my hips as I smiled letting out a moan, Nick laughed and pushed me away kissing the side of my lips.
"We can continue this in a couple of weeks." He whispered seductively.
"A couple of weeks? Why can't we-"
Nick stared at me frowning, "Miley you aren't really up for it yet. You and me both know that, so how about we wait it's not like we haven't before. And there's something I need to tell you, come on let's go."
I took his hand as Nick opened the door and we moved out of my room for the last time, I was happy to see the last of it. We walked up and quickly signed all my paperwork and I got my antibiotics for the next week, which was going to be hard to remember to take seeing the nurses had been giving them to me. Nick pulled me into the elevator as I looked at him waiting for him to tell me what was going on…
"Right firstly, media know everything." He stated as I sighed.
"Yeah I expected that."
"And it gets worse." Nick stated as I groaned, "Miles you do realize we pretty much dropped everything to come back, and we still have tour dates. We're going to have to go back."
I looked at him and nodded. "I thought you would, so when are-"
"Next week, that's what I meant by we won't be doing anything for at least a couple of weeks Miles." He whispered and I just frowned shaking my head. I understood he had to go back but I really didn't want him to leave again. "I'm sorry gorgeous,"
"Its okay, but we are doing it. Tonight."
"Miley,"
"What? I have been deprived from you for a very long time. I'll be fine, technically I'm healthier now then when I married you." I stated as the elevator doors opened and he sighed.
"I'll considerate it because I love you."
I laughed taking Nick's hand as we quickly moved through the bottom storey of the hospital, we really didn't need to be seen. We got to the doors as Nick gave me a look, I knew instantly the paparazzi were going to be outside. The sliding doors opened and Nick kissed the side of my head pushing me to turn right, I followed his lead straight away as they hit.
"Miley, Miles, MILEY! NICK! Nick," Was all that filled my ears.
I kept my head looking down, as I kept moving, eventually Nick pulled me to a stop and opened his car door pushing me inside. I closed my eyes relieved looking down so the paparazzi couldn't take any more photos of me. Nick got in the car cursing away as he turned on the car, I turned looking at him giving death glares to the paparazzi as we pulled out of the parking spot.
"You okay?" He finally asked as I nodded.
"Terrific, stupid paparazzi!"
I smiled leaning back looking out the window of the car, it felt so good to have freedom. I felt Nick's hand run along my leg as I took it and he smiled at me. The car trip was pretty silent, I played with Nick's fingers and he filled me on everything Matthew related. I couldn't wait to see Danielle, I hadn't been able to see anyone who wasn't immediate family or didn't already have the virus, which meant both Kevin and Danielle were unable to see me.
We pulled up at the driveway as Nick sighed,
"And I need to tell you something else…"
"What?"
"Everyone is inside, and they planned a welcome home party. It's supposed to be a surprise but I thought I'd give you the heads up, I don't want them to scare the hell out of you." Nick stated and I just looked at him rolling my eyes.
"Well aren't you a good secret keeper."
"Hey I kept us a secret."
"Thankfully, let's go." I stated climbing out of the car.
I walked up to the front door, as Nick opened it for me. I smiled at him and Nick leaned down…
"Kiss please."
I gave him a light peck before walking in our house, I twisted my hair now nervous. Nick wrapped his arm around me and nodded to the living room, I smiled leaning on him as he opened the door and I got my surprise face ready. I walked in as I put a smile on my face…
"SURPRISE!" They all screamed,
"Told ya," Nick whispered.
I laughed as I was instantly hit by the hugs, kisses and slaps from Joe of course. Finally after five minutes of talking to everyone I pushed Demi off me who instantly looked insulted and rushed over dodging my family ready for a second round and arrived at Danielle who was giving me a huge grin, with Kevin by her side. I giggled looking down at Matt, my new little nephew. I shook my head as Danielle smiled…
"Matt meet aunt Miley, she's a little bit crazy, but we love her. Even if she did get most of the family sick." Danielle stated and offered him over as I looked at her,
"You sure?"
"Of course, you were with me through all of this Miley. Except the end but hey, I can't be picky." Danielle stated as I grinned taking Matthew off her and stared at the gorgeous little baby in front of me.
"He's so cute, oh my god. Congratulations you guys, he is the most adorable baby ever." I whispered grinning up at them staring back down at Matt's little brown eyes and open mouth.
"Now she'll want one." I heard Dad mutter as I smiled. Oh I did.
Nick POV
"Want some of this?" I asked Miley and she shook her head,
I nodded as we walked along the huge stack of food mom, Dani and Demi had prepared for lunch. We were having a barbeque and for the past hour all Miley had done was giggle and pull faces at Matt. So far she seemed absolutely amazed by the little noises he made and how he looked up at her, Danielle was happy to stand back she did need a break. I'd only just gotten my wife away from him, and forcing her to eat was becoming a difficult challenge, but I knew the drugs she was on would effect her appetite.
"How about steak?" I asked and she shook her head again.
"I think I'll just stick to some salad Nick, I feel guilty that they've cooked all this for me when honestly I'm not hungry." She stated picking through the salad bowl finding the vegetables she liked.
"Just eat what you can okay." I whispered kissing the side of her head.
"Nick…"
I turned around looking to see mom motioning for me to come over, I rubbed Miley's arm and walked over giving my mom and dad a smile. Mom nodded over to Miley,
"Miley okay? She's not eating a lot." Mom stated.
"The meds are playing havoc with her,"
Mom frowned gazing over again, "I some how think your going to struggle to leave her. Thought about taking her with you? It's not like Miley is going to be filming in a while, not until she's a bit more stable."
I shrugged looking over to see Miley had returned to giggle over Matt.
"I told her I'm leaving next week, I don't want to leave her but…I don't think it's a good idea flying right now. She's still recovering and I don't think Miles could keep up with the fast pace of tour right now." I stated sitting down,
"I understand, we'll look after her don't worry." Dad stated,
"Thanks."
Kevin walked over laughing, "My god Nick, I think you're going to have a serious issue. I thought women had a tendency to want children, but I think if you don't have a baby soon, I may no longer have a son." Kevin joked as I smiled looking over at Miley with Danielle and Matt.
"Yeah she's very clucky." Mom muttered.
"I know and that's an issue." I states sighing,
"Why? I thought you guys were planning on having kids when you got back from tour." Mom bluntly said and I just turned staring at her,
"How do you-"
"Come on Nick, Miley told Demi." Kevin stated looking at me, "So it literally took days for the entire family to find out."
I groaned shaking my head.
"She's not well enough to have a baby right now." I stated seriously frowning, "I don't want to threaten Miles health as it is, if she can't wait two years then…maybe we might adopt."
"Good luck with that." Mom muttered.
I rolled my eyes getting up, I didn't want any more interrogations. I moved over to Demi who was sitting with Joe and Trace, "He looks more like Danielle then Kevin I reckon. Although I think his eyes are more Kevin's colour then Dani's." Demi stated smiling at me.
"Yeah I agree, hey Nick." Trace stated, "Looks like you may have an issue."
"So people keep telling me." I stated with a laugh.
"Mom and dad just gave you the Miley wants a baby lecture?" Joe questioned and I nodded as Joe laughed, "Demi was just saying the exact same thing,"
"Demi please don't suggest it to her." I whispered.
"I won't, but it's obvious Nick."
"I know but…it's not the right time." I stated shaking my head, I looked at them trying to think of a way to change the topic. I wanted to get away from babies, "So what day are we leaving? I've already forgotten its next week some time right?"
"Yeah on the Friday." Demi stated.
A conversation started up and I finally relaxed, it had been a very long three weeks and right now this family time was just what I needed. I ate my lunch and chatted away with Trace for a bit, then moved onto Noah and Brandi. I hadn't seen everyone happy in a long time and everything was finally starting to look up, the scandal of Miley and my marriage was gone, Selena and Liam were over it and finally Danielle had the baby.
"Nick…" Brandi called as I looked at her,
She nodded behind me as I turned around to see Miley sitting alone, purposely trying to avoid everyone so she could sleep. I gave a laugh watching her lean against the tree, I think it was time for her to go to bed. I looked back to Brandi who smiled at me.
"I think we should go, thanks for having us." Brandi stated.
"It was fine."
"OKAY EVERYONE, WE'RE CLEARING OUT!" Joe yelled.
Miley sat up looking around confused as we all laughed, "I wasn't asleep, I was just resting my eyes. No you can't leave, why are you leaving?" Miley stated jumping up as Billy laughed.
"Miley you look exhausted it's fine."
"I'm-"
"Miley." I called across the yard giving her a look,
"Fine."
"Thanks for having us Nick." Mom stated,
So then the goodbyes began, and soon numbers were disappearing. Everyone slowly filed out giving hugs and soon it was only Danielle and Kevin left, while Miley refused to let Matt go. I smiled looking at my little nephew in Miley's arms as she played with his little hand…
"Miley come on let him go." I whispered,
"But-"
"Miley."
She groaned and handed Matt back over to Kevin who laughed, "Bye Miley, we might come over tomorrow and you can play with him some more? But you need to listen to Nick now." Danielle stated.
"I will." She whispered.
"Bye guys." I muttered as they walked out the front door and I closed it.
"Bed."
"I had other ideas, you know I'm not tired. My acting skills however seem to be improving! So I was thinking now everyone has gone, maybe we should head upstairs?" Miley whispered playing with the buttons on my shirt .
I looked down at her and laughed, "No you, stop. You are such a little-"
"Perfect wife, please?" She whispered.
"Okay I would, but I don't have any con-"
"I'm on the pill." She stated grinning and I sighed, how could I say no?
I pressed my lips against hers as she laughed pressing me up against the wall, and like that I knew I was the happiest guy in the world.
