Chapter 37


Nick's POV

I wake up at around 5am. Whoops I slept the whole day yesterday. The first thing I see is David is making tea and rice.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. I was just making some tea the only food I found was rice." David says.

I give him a smile.

"Thanks David." I say as I get off the mattress and I put it up against the wall.

"You take your vitamins yet?" I ask.

"No. I have no idea which ones to take. Demi gave me the bottles and said to take them over." David explains.

"Alright. Well the simple way to explain it is you take every color but white. You take the white ones at supper time." I explain.

"Wow. That's alot of vitamins." David says as he gets 2 pills out of the 4 bottles.

"How do you swallow all these?" He asks.

"Well. You drop them all into the tea and let them melt into the tea." I explain.

"Is that why the cups are so small?" David asks.

"Yeah. It tastes fowl." I state.

"Great." He says with sarcasm as he tries to chug it.

"Holy Shit! That is down right fowl!" David says.

"Oh I know. Now do you get why the cups are tiny?" I ask.

"Yeah. Second they are the standard cup that we found when we got here." Joe says as he comes up the hole in the floor.

"God Joe! That was surprising." David says.

"Yeah. So who is ready to start the guessing game?" Joe says.

"Me. I'm dying to figure this out." I tell him.

"What are you talking about?" David asks.

"Well, we are playing the guess the gender of the baby game." Joe says.

"Alright, I'm willing to 20 push ups, it's a boy." I state.

"Nah, I bet 30 it's a girl." Joe says.

"I don't know I think it's looking pretty girl like to me." David says.

"Alright, let's move on to Nick's." David says as I pull out the X-ray from under my cover clothes and in my army suit.

"Well I'm going to say a boy." David says.

"I don't know man. I'm saying it's a girl." Joe says.

"I don't know I'm kinda hoping it's a boy. I really want another boy. I like having someone to be able to teach football and teach how to ride a bike..."I start.

"And teach how to get a girl pregnant at 15 and end up marrying her. Seriously dude! Did you ever date anyone but Miley?" David asks.

"Well not really. I did go on a blind date with Selena and I did kiss her but that was it. I really had no true feelings for her." I tell him.

"Well I guess it's time to tell you guys." David starts.

"What is it David?" I ask.

"Well I'm getting married." He says.

"What! That's awesome David." I state as I give him a handshake.

"So that makes 2 wedding when we get back." Joe says.

"Yeah. I doubt Frank's will be a big one." I state.

"Wait! Frankie is getting married!" David says.

"Yes, but it's a secret. He hasn't even asked her yet." I tell him.

"Nick, I'm tons of miles away. There is no way I can tell anyone." David says.

"True. Joe, we got people coming. You have to go. See you later?" I state.

He goes down the hole without question.


Miley's POV

I see Destiny come into my room.

"Hey Destiny. How did your date go last night?" I ask.

"It was really fun. We went to the mall and we went to a movie. He really wants to meet the family. Mom can I tell you something?" Destiny asks.

"Sure. You can tell me anything." I tell her.

"I have been dating him for a few months. I know I should have told from the beginning, but I was scared. I didn't want to tell you when Dad was home. I know he would freak out." Destiny says.

"See the thing is that your Dad would be even more mad that you hid him for months but I promise you that we will help your Dad get use to the idea. He is just really protective because we just doesn't want you to fall into the same type of thing that me and your Dad fell into. That is something we don't want you to have to face. Your Aunt and Uncle are facing it now too." I tell her.

"Alright Mom. Can Nathan come over here soon?" She asks.

"Well I'm going to talk to your Dad soon I hope. We'll have him over one of the nights that we call Dad ok?" I state.

"Ok. When is that?" Destiny asks.

"Soon. I promise." I tell her.


2 months later

Nick's POV

Only 7 months to go. We are all heading to base to talk to our families. We get into our tents and just as Miley promised me, she's online. I open the conversation with Joe sitting next to me.

"Oh hi Demi." I say.

"Hey Nick. I was just going to talk to Joe first before one of us gets killed by your potential wrath." Demi says.

"Ummm ok." I state as Joe and Demi talk for a few minutes.

"I'm going to get some oranges. You or David want any?" I ask.

"Just grab a dozen." Joe says as I leave our tent.


Joe's POV

David closes his conversation and comes over to our computer.

"So Demi, how is Nick going to have potential wrath?" David asks.

"Well, Des has a boyfriend." Demi whispers.

"Holy Shit! Is she trying to get her Favorite 2 uncles killed! I have to sleep with him. He has a gun!" David says.

"Well tonight is the night he is coming over to meet the family." Demi says.

"Oh Miley has got some explaining to do." I state.

"Oh we know. She is the only one who can talk sense into him." Demi says before Nick comes back in.

Demi hands the computer to Miley.

"Hey my love bug. How are you?" He asks.

"I'm Alright. Listen Nicky I have to tell you something important." She says with her cute smile that he can't resist.

"What is it?" He asks.

"Destiny got her first boyfriend." She says quickly.

David and I look at eachother.

"3 2 1 RAGE!" David and I both mouth.

"Wait! What! Are you serious?" He asks in shock.

"Yes Dad! Mom is serious I am dating Nathan. He is coming in the door in a few minutes to meet the family for the first time!" Destiny says boldly.

"Wow, I'm just in shock for a minute. Des, just promise me you will not let him or your friends pressure you into doing something you don't want to do." He says slowly trying to calm himself down.

I'm surprised by how well he is coping with this.


Nick's POV

Part of me wants to flip out on her, but I know I shouldn't. I was young like her once. That would just hurt her. Half of me is worried and my brain is saying I should be happy for her.

"Dad, This is Nathan, Nathan this is my Dad." Destiny says.

"Well it's nice to meet you." I say.

"You too sir." He says.

Sounds like a gentleman so far.

"That is my Uncle Joe and My not Blood Uncle David." Destiny says.

"Nice to meet you." He says.

"Des, I'm still your favorite uncle right?" David asks.

"You are all my favorite Uncles. Anyway you are being moved to the dinning room table." Destiny says.

We get placed at the end of the table. We just watch them eat while we eat some oranges. Even watching them eat is special. Any contact of the world outside the house is nice. They finish supper and I see Destiny and Nathan are Hand in Hand.

"Destiny, can I talk to Nathan alone please." I ask.

"I don't know if that is a good idea." Miley says.

"Relax Miles. I just want to talk to him." I assure her.

"Sure ." He says as he grabs the computer and goes into the empty basement.

"Joe, David. You guys have to go. We have to have a man to man talk." I state.

They both go out of the tent and I draw my attention back to the boy in front of the computer who looks a bit nervous.
