Miley POV
I shouldn't have done it, but I couldn't take back my lie now.
I knew that Nick would never agree but now he couldn't do anything about it, what was done was done. I smiled holding the object deciding our fate in my hands, Nick would forgive me eventually and everything would be fine between us. We'd planned this in our future and even if this was a little sooner then expected Nick and I would cope, I knew we would. I pushed it back inside the box smiling excitedly to myself and then pushed it into the plastic bag just to be careful. This was my secret for a little while until I could convince Nick I was healthy and ready. I sighed wrapping it tightly up and throwing it into the trash, Nick wouldn't find it there because I'd throw it out before he arrived home tomorrow.
"Miley!" Danielle yelled.
I bit my lip nervously and opened the bathroom door slamming it closed. Danielle decided to bring Matt over for lunch like she did almost every day when I wasn't at work. I'd gone back to work last week and it was fine, a little bit hard on the first day but I was coping a lot better now then before. The guys were still on tour over in Asia but tomorrow they were coming home and I couldn't wait to have Nick back in my arms again. I walked down the staircase pushing my hands through my hair thinking about my secret.
Nick should have listened closer to my doctor when he explained my medication. He clearly said I should not bother taking a certain contraception pill because it would be ineffective. So now I had a small dilemma but I was so excited and I really wanted to tell Dani but she would yell at me, I could already see it. I could deal with all the yelling though, because right now I was so ecstatic and nothing could bring me down.
"MILEY!"
"I'm coming." I yelled giving a yawn,
I sighed thinking back to Nick, he would be here for a week and then it was back on the road for another month around the U.S. Once that was done though, it would be all over! I opened the kitchen door giving a sigh, I couldn't wait for tomorrow...
"Sorry, I was trying to fix my hair it's gone crazy. Want coffee?" I asked walking past Kevin as I smiled, "Oh hey Kevin, so where is OH MY GOD KEVIN WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU-"
I let out a scream in fright as someone grabbed me around the waist, I looked up and squealed jumping on Nick as he started laughing. I didn't know what to say I was in a state of complete shock, Nick was here a day early. I pulled away from his hug and just stared at him entranced, while Nick just kept chuckling looking at me.
"You're here…" I whispered looking into his chocolate eyes, "You're not supposed to be here."
"I know Miles, I told you the wrong date sorry. I honestly thought it was tomorrow until last week, and I decided to not mention it you so it would be a surprise." He whispered moving his hand up and cupped my face.
"I missed you so much."
"I missed you too."
He leaned down pressing his lips against mine as I opened my mouth automatically. Straight away I heard the groans of disgust but I ignored them as Nick looped his arms around my waist. Just feeling him this close made me dizzy, I hated when he was gone but at the same time I loved the moments like this when it was just us. I finally pulled away and he smiled dropping his hand.
"You look so much better." He stated and I grinned.
"I feel better,"
"And you gained weight." Demi stated as I turned around smiling at her.
"I'm going to ignore the fact you just insulted me, I missed you Dems!" I stated and she laughed cheerfully as I pulled her into a hug, "It's been really lonely, Dani and me have been so bored."
"Agreed." Dani said happily.
I let go of Demi and smiled at her lovely soon to be husband, Joe. "Hey Joey, you look good."
"You too."
He pulled me into a hug as well and then finally Kevin, "I've already said hello to you," I muttered and he laughed pulling me into a hug as I squeezed him tight, "I've been looking after Dani and Matt!"
"Good, has she Dani?" Kevin asked letting me go,
"Yes, more Matt then me."
"He's just so cute." I whispered looking over at my gorgeous little nephew.
"Oh god here we go again, you haven't got a hope Nick once this tour is done." Dani stated and Nick just laughed, "I'm being serious, Miley has learned everything now! She's ready to be a mom. I've taught her how to handle nappies, bottles and the occasional vomit. She's become a professional aunt while you guys were away."
I giggled looking down, if only they all knew. "Thanks Dani,"
"No babies." Nick stated as I looked at him, he frowned staring at me. "You're recovering!"
"I'm fine Nick."
"Not yet you're not," He stated kissing the side of my head as I looked away. "You're not healthy until I say so."
"I think that's the doctors decision, not-"
"No I'm her husband, which means I automatically become her doctor even if I know nothing about medicine." Nick stated as I looked back smiling at him, "I know Miley and that means I know more then any other doctor in the world." I leaned up and pressed my lips against his as he smiled against them. I pulled away giving Nick a smile, he was just so perfect...even if he was a little overprotective.
"Right so good news is we bought some champagne in France, and we've been dragging it around all through Asia. We should crack it open, screw you guys being underage I think we should have a drink! Celebrate making it home this time without any drama!" Kevin announced as I laughed and Joe pulled out two bottles while Demi held up a third.
"I'll get the glasses then!" I stated grinning.
Nick wrapped his arms around me as I headed behind the kitchen bench, "How about I get them? You have a seat, I'm back now and that means you won't be doing anything in the house." He whispered and I laughed pushing him away.
"No, it's fine Nick!" I stated as one of the bottles popped open.
"Love you."
"Love you too." I whispered grabbing the glasses.
I put them all in a row, my smile growing when I didn't put one out for myself. Demi and Joe began filling each glass as Nick kissed my cheek and I continued to giggle looking at him. I finally turned and pressed my lips against his as he pulled away and frowned…
"You can't count, we're missing a glass." Nick stated as everyone laughed.
"I'm not having one."
"Why not?" Demi asked as they all stared at me. I mentally thanked my media training right now as I thought up a reason and decided to change the topic...
"I just don't want one, is that okay or not? Plus if you guys all get drunk who is going to hold your hair back as you throw up? And if you do throw up, I will personally kill you so don't get too drunk okay?" I questioned and they all nodded laughing as I saw Danielle just staring at me and then looked down at my stomach.
I gave her a smirk and looked away, so she had her suspicions…they were true.
Nick POV
I pressed Miley down against the couch attacking her lips with kisses, she moaned against my mouth as I ran my hand up her dress. I moved my tongue along her bottom lip as she opened her mouth letting me in, I felt Miley's hand slip up my shirt and I moved my hand further up her dress. She was kissing me with so much passion it was driving me crazy, being away from each other made us desperate and overly hormonal. I kept moving my hand as she moaned again...
"Guys…kind of getting gross now." I heard Demi mutter giggling
So after the three bottles of champagne, we found some Jack Daniels and that's when the party really got started. We both ignored Demi and continued kissing but I refrained from moving my hand any further up, and Miley's hand had taken a comfortable position on my abs.
"Guys seriously get a room. You are basically...ew just stop!"
"Yeah you're going to scare poor Matt." Kevin stated laughing.
Miley giggled and pushed me away, I frowned as she turned her head. "I have an idea then? Why don't you guys leave, so I can spend some time with my husband, you've been here all day! Get out of my house!"
"Rude." Demi stated.
"She has a point." I muttered a little slurred.
I looked over to see Joe just gazing around absently, a smile across his face. He was the worst out of all of us and had been dancing on the kitchen bench for the past hour for no reason at all, thankfully he had now stopped. Demi kept giggling uncontrollable even when there was nothing funny, while Danielle had only had one glass and was keeping an eye on Matt. Kevin was holding it together pretty well and me…let's just say it had definitely gone straight to my head. I kissed Miley's neck as she slapped me and then purposely pushed me off the couch, I hit the ground with a thud sending a sharp pain through my back, which dulled straight away.
"Ouch Miles." I complained.
"Okay I think its time to leave, Miley can I have a word quickly." Danielle stated and I saw Miley give a sigh and nodded pushing herself off the couch, I grabbed her leg as she automatically stumbled.
"Nick let go of her…"
"No."
"Nick you've drunk too much." Miley stated laughing and shook her leg free.
Miley leaned down and pushed her hand through my hair giggling, then turned and walked away with Danielle. I turned to see both my brothers and future sister in law staring at me…
"What?"
"You two, it's really sweet." Demi stated shaking her head, "I can't believe after everything you guys are finally happy. You've still got your whole life ahead of you and it's finally all looking up"
"Literally." I stated laughing looking up from the floor.
"Wow Nick you really have drunk too much, okay let's go Joseph." Demi stated grabbing his arm as I pushed myself off the floor, "Bye Nick, have a good night with your wife."
"Oh I will."
"See ya man," Kevin stated hitting me on the back.
"How are you guys getting home?" I questioned looking at Joe and Demi, "Because honestly I don't think any of you can drive, maybe you should walk?"
"Walk! I am not-"
"I'll drive, Joe you can pick up your car tomorrow. Come on let's go you tipsy bunch of people." Danielle stated as Miley walked in giving me a huge grin as I kissed the side of her head.
"Bye Joe, Demi." I stated giving them both hugs,
"Bye guys,"
"See you tomorrow morning then." Demi muttered as we walked them to the door.
"Some how I reckon it'll be afternoon by the time you guys get round here, bye Matt." Miley stated laughing and kissed our nephew on the head as Danielle smiled and they all bustled out.
We waved as they left in Kevin's car, Danielle driving out of our driveway. I sighed slamming the door and looked at Miley who leaned up kissing my cheek. I quickly moved and pushed her against the wall as she giggled and I leaned down kissing her gently on the lips…
"Nick I'm tired, can we just sleep tonight?" She whispered.
"Sure,"
We headed up stairs, as I stumbled along while Miley just laughed at me. "Wow you clearly have drunk a little too much Nick! Hopefully you don't have a hangover tomorrow morning."
"I won't." I stated as we moved into our bedroom.
"I'm so happy you are back." She whispered as we both collapsed onto the bed.
"Me too."
I rolled over so that we were facing each other and I slowly pressed my lips against hers. It only lasted a second before Miley violently pulled away letting out a groan…
"Garbage night, can you put it out for me?" She whispered.
I laughed and nodded, "Sure Miles."
I pushed myself off the bed shaking my head, wow the tiredness had hit now. I headed towards the bathroom to grab the rubbish only for Miley to jump in front of me. I looked at her confused as she laughed…
"You know what I'll do it, you look tired."
"Miles I'm fine, go get ready for bed." I whispered and she shook her head.
"I'll do it Nick, I really-"
"Miley."
"Fine." She stated as I rolled my eyes.
I kissed the side of her head, but I could see the look of worry in her eyes. I ignored it and headed into the bathroom grabbing the trash and turned running straight into Miley who was right behind me.
"You okay?"
"I'm absolutely fine, maybe I should take that out?" Miley whispered giving me a really fake smile.
"Miley it's fine, I said I would do it."
I stared at her confused, it was like Miles wanted to distract me but why I wasn't really sure. I walked past her and headed out of the room collecting the rest of the rubbish around the house before off loading it all into the garbage. I yawned pushing the garbage bin out the gates and turned tilting my head…Our neighbors house was up for sale, I didn't know they were moving.
I turned around and headed back inside locking up all the doors, before climbing the staircase and opening the bedroom door.
"Miley why didn't you tell me-"
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry! I knew you'd never agree." She whispered completely freaking out as Miles rushed over to me, "I'm so sorry I lied! But it was apart of the plan and I can't wait forever Nick. I feel fine I promise, and work isn't a problem! Please don't be mad, I was going to tell you! I'm so sorry. Please Nick say something…please.
I saw the tears coming to her eyes as I moved my hand to my neck, "What are you talking about? I was just going to ask why you didn't tell me our neighbors were selling their house?" I questioned confused and her face just turned white.
"Oh…yes they are, they rang me." She whispered looking away.
I stared at her confused, okay something was seriously up with her and I was not ignoring it.
"Miley what's going on?"
"Nothing, come on let's go to bed." She whispered as I grabbed her hand, Miley looked up at me and bit her lip,
"Miley what's going on?" I repeated deadly serious staring in her eyes.
"Nick I did something really stupid and you're going to hate me, but I don't regret it."
"Miley what did you do?" I whispered hesitantly as she shrugged.
"You know how I said I was on the pill." She whispered and I nodded. "I lied, I can't take the pill with my antibiotics."
I stared at Miley and saw the tears coming to her eyes while she just looked at me terrified, I replayed the whole sentence of rushed words as it clicked. My eyes widened as I opened my mouth and then stared down shaking my head, no way! That was one damn time it wasn't that freaking easy. Miley squeezed my hand as I dropped it putting my hand on my head. I looked away from her so annoyed, how could this have happened? I'd said no babies!
"You're not…" I started finally staring at her.
"I am."
"Oh my god!" I hissed leaning back on the wall, "Oh my god Miley! What the…"
I just stood there completely and utterly confused, how could this happen? She'd basically tricked me, but then again I had agreed. I looked towards my wife tears falling down her face, as I shook my head why was she crying? I moved my hand up to her cheek as she looked at me scared. I wiped the tears away with my thumb giving a sigh.
"Why are you crying?" I finally whispered. "I thought you wanted this,"
"Because you're mad at me."
"I'm not mad Miley!" I stated laughing at her, "I'm really shocked, this…"
She looked at waiting for me to continue as I laughed, out of all the emotions I was feeling there was only one taking over. All the others just were shock emotions, and this one I knew was the true one. I moved my head towards hers huge smile.
"IS FANTASTIC!" I yelled,
I'd never seen Miley look so shocked in her life, as I pressed my lips against hers. It took a moment but finally it sank in and she pushed me away, "What? You're okay with this because I thought you'd be so mad Nick!" She whispered and I shook my head.
"I love you, and I want this." I whispered as she giggled letting another tear fall.
"You know what this means?" She whispered.
"That we're going to be a mom and dad."
She squealed as I brought her into another kiss. Through everything we'd made it, and so what if it wasn't perfect timing Miley and me had never been good with picking the right moment to do anything. I kissed my wife with every single bit of emotion I had within me, I was in love with her and I was so overly excited I felt like I could scream. Miley was perfect and I knew I wouldn't change anything, the good and the bad we'd proved everyone wrong. And now we were looking at the future one that seemed only a dream the day I proposed at the Grammy's.
