A/N Hey! I'm finally updating! I just got my laptop back and it works!! YEAH!! Ok so I'm in search of a beta to read this story and a couple others...if you're willing just mesage me :) So without further adieu on with the story...oh and review please!!
I woke up to my cell phone ringing, signaling that I got a text. I opened it and it read 'Good morning Babie, I love you. Come on upstairs to our room. I've got a surprise for you.- Leslie' Gosh I love that man. His way of spelling baby, he thinks B-A-B-Y is overused, so he spells it B-A-B-I-E. He's a hopeless romantic, and he knows that I am to. Whenever he signs something Leslie, I cave and all is forgiven or I smile, knowing my love is actually not totally an ego maniac.
I closed my phone and looked at the time. 11:27. Great! We got a nice amount of sleep. I went upstairs and opened our bedroom door. I gasped when I saw what Jake did. There were rose petals all over the floor and candles lit all over the room.
"Good morning Love, but where are you?" It was suddenly pitch black and a pair of strong hands that I have come to know and love grabbed my waist. I felt hot breath on my bare neck.
"I'm right behind you Babie." He whispered sexily in my ear.
"I know that now, but what's with the blindfold?" I asked pulling it off.
"Nothing, just something I know you've been wanting since you can't ever get to sleep. It's got magnets in it! Do you like it?" He asked me like a five year old. I laughed.
"It's perfect. But you know the man who bought it for me is even more perfect." I said turning around and putting my arms around his neck.
"What if I told you that Abigail bought it?"
"Then Abby is prefect! And her daddy can give her this." I gave him a quick peck on the lips.
"Nah, I bought it for you."
"Well in that case." I Pulled him closer to me and kissed him. He immediately responded and pushed me back so I was sitting on he bed, him leaning over me. "Jake." I mumbled against his lips. "Jake…Jake…stop."
"What Babie?" He asked pulling away from me.
"The kids and everyone."
"They're gone." He pushed me down on the bed and laid on top of me. Then he kissed me again, trailing down my neck, then gently sucking on my collar bone.
"What do you mean?"
"Your dad and Nes are at the doctor's and Lilly and Jackson took the kids out." He started sucking harder on my collar bone. He knows the only time he can give me hickeys is when I'm pregnant. I've actually been pregnant five times, including Abby. I was first pregnant when Jake and I were eighteen. Daddy made me put her up for adoption. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. When she was born, there were so many complications they said I'd never have another child. I had a stillbirth before we had Abby and I've had two since then.
"Jake. Can we talk for a minute?" He looked up at me. I could tell he had already left his mark on my collar bone.
"Yea, what's wrong Babie?"
I sighed. "I don't know. It's just, think about it Jake. Right now we could have five kids, not just one." He laid further back on the bed, leaning on the headboard and motioned for me to lay beside him. I willingly complied.
"Miles, everything that happened, happened for a reason." He took my hand and ran his thumb across it.
"Yea! Me! It's my fault and you know it!"
"No it's not Miles, God just had a better place for them."
I snuggled into his chest. "Better than with us?"
"Miles, think about it there's no war, hate…or paparazzi in heaven."
"I guess. But what about Leslie?"
"Miley, you know that it isn't your fault."
"Yea, I guess. I love you." I kissed his nose.
"I love you more!" He kissed me on the nose.
"No. I love you more!" I kissed him hard on the lips, begging him for entrance. He happily complied.
--
After about an hour of making out, we finally quit. It just didn't feel right to go all the way right now.
"Wow. That was great!" Jake breathed in my ear as he kissed me one more time.
I laid my head on his chest. "And to think that no clothes came off!"
"Yea!" He wrapped his arm around me so that I was resting my head on his arm too. "I love you Babie."
"I love you too Leslie!" He tried to tickle me, but I dodged out of his arms.
"Miley Rae!" He came running after me. I ran into the bathroom and closed the door leaning on it so he couldn't get it open. "Miley, Babie, open the door."
"No! You'll just tickle me!"
"No I won't Miles, I promise."
"Fine." I Moved away from the door and opened it. Jake came in and started tickling me. "Jake stop! You promised!!"
"I crossed my fingers Babie." He said.
"Jake…Jake stop! Let me go!" I cried out desperately.
He must've seen my face when I said it, I wasn't joking. "Are you ok?"
In response, I just ran to the toilet and sat down by it, emptying the contents of my stomach. Jake was immediately by my side. "I hate this!" Jake pulled my hair back and grabbed a ponytail and tied it up. Then he rubbed my back.
"Miles, calm down. It'll be ok." Jake spoke soothingly in my ear. I finished and lifted myself off the ground. I grabbed a Kleenex and wiped off my mouth and drank the little bit of water that Jake handed me.
I started to cry and Jake immediately wrapped me in a hug. I cried into his chest as he rubbed my back. "Mile, Sweetie, what's wrong?" I just shook my head and cried harder. He picked me up bridal style and took me to our room. He then laid me on the bed and sat beside me. I crawled back into his arms and just sat there crying. A few minutes later, I heard the door downstairs open and I did my best to stop crying. Whoever it was didn't come upstairs, so I went into the bathroom and washed my face then went back to Jake.
I laid on the bed with my face in the pillow and spoke to Jake "do you think that she's still where we left her?" I felt him lay beside me.
"Hmm?"
I rolled over to face him. "Do you think that Leslie is still where my dad made us leave her?"
He traced my cheek. "I don't know Miles, we could go check if you really wanted to."
"I do. I want her back."
"Mile, there's no guarantee-
I cut him off. "I know that Jake. I just want to try."
"Ok, when we get home, we'll look for her." He wrapped his arm around me.
"Mmmm…" He started rubbing my back.
"Lilly, do you think we should tell Miley and Jake that we're back and we'll be outside with the kids?" I heard Jackson's voice through the door.
"If the door is closed, I vote no, who knows what's going on in there!" Lilly whispered to my older brother.
Wait…this could be fun! I winked at Jake. "Mmm…Jake….that feels so good…harder!!" I let out a fake moan.
"Eww! See Jackson?!" I could almost see her face!
"Ugh…Miles…"
I got up and motioned for Jake to come with me, all the while keeping up the moaning.
"Disgusting! Jackson! Let's get out of here!" Once Lilly turned around, I opened the door and covered her eyes.
"Gottcha!" I yelled and started laughing with Jake.
"Miley Rae!! I hate you!" Lilly turned around fuming mad.
"What? We didn't DO anything."
Jackson's face was one with a look of complete confusion. "Wait…I thought you were, I mean, you were-
"Jackson, they were playing a prank on us."
"Oh I get it! You were just pretending to have-
"Abigail!" I yelled, trying to cover up Jackson. "Come here Sweetie!" Abby ran the rest of the way to me and I bent down to pick her up. "Yes Jackson. Now drop it. There are children in the house."
"Mommy! We're going to swim! Will you come with us? Please?" There was no way I was going to be able to resist my daughter's pleading face. Besides, this was supposed to be a time for family.
I sat her down and grabbed Jake's hand. "Of course we'll come swim with you. How 'bout you let me and Daddy get ready, and then I'll come help you get ready?"
"Ok! But you got to be fast!" Abby took off down the stairs running.
"Abigail Elizabeth!" Jake thundered, "don't you dare run in the house!"
Abby turned around, tears evident in her eyes, "Sorry Daddy."
"Abby, just go downstairs, I'll be there in a minute."
"Ok Mommy." She slowly turned around and walked downstairs, softly crying the whole way.
We went back into our room and I closed the door. "Leslie Jacob Ryan! Why did you do that?!" I turned away from him and started digging in my suitcase for my bikini.
"Miley, do you really want her to be running a muck around your father's house?" He grabbed my arm and turned me around.
"Jake, she's three years old and she just wants to be with us!" I ripped my arm out of his grasp and grabbed my swimsuit.
"Miles, don't be like that."
"Be like what? You're the one acting like an ass!" I stormed into the bathroom and slammed the door.
I quickly changed and slipped out the hallway door. I went to the basement to find Abby still crying and Morgan trying to calm her down. "Morgan, thanks, I can take care of her from here, you can go get your swimsuit on."
"Ok Miley." Morgan walked out the door, leaving me and my daughter alone.
"Mommy?" She mumbled through her tears, "why is Daddy so mad at me?"
"Oh Abigail, he's not, I don't know what's gotten into him." I wrapped her in a hug.
"Oh ok. Can we get ready now?" She pushed me away and grabbed her swimsuit off of her bed and started undressing.
After I helped her get dressed, we went into the laundry room to get towels. I grabbed a towel for both me and Abby. I also grabbed an extra just incase Jake decided to be an adult and come down to apologize.
Surprisingly, we didn't meet Jake until we were almost out the door. "Miley, can we talk?"
"What's there to talk about? Your actions said it all." I opened the door and carried Abby over to the pool where I helped her put her water wings on.
He followed me and tried to help me with Abby. "Jake. Go away. Now." I finished helping Abby then stood up looking Jake in the eyes.
"No. Not until you talk to me."
"Fine. What do you want?" I crossed my arms and turned to watch Abby jump into the pool.
Jake put his hand on my chin and turned my face. "She'll be fine. Jackson and Lilly are watching her."
"Whatever. Just tell me what you have to say." He grabbed my hands.
"Mile, please just hear me out on this."
"I'm not making any promises. You hurt our daughter."
He closed his eyes for a second then continued. "Miley, she's acting just like I did when I was her age. I don't want her to turn out like me."
"Why not? You're amazing." He shook his head.
"Think back to high school. I didn't have any real friends, all I had was my fame, until I met you. Then I didn't know how to act. I was too obnoxious, you hated me. I don't want her to need a wake up call like the one she loves telling her that he hates her."
"Wow. I never thought of it that way. But you still need to apologize to her. She just wants to be with you. She loves you." He wrapped me in a loving hug.
"Already planned on it Miles." He released me and then must've thought better because he picked me up.
"Jake? Jake! Put me down now!" He just laughed and threw me into the deep end of the pool. I mouthed "ass" to him but he just smiled then jumped in.
"Abigail? Can I talk to you?" Jake started swimming toward her, but when I looked at her, I didn't see excitement, I saw the worst thing possible, fear.
"Jake! Stop! Wait one minute!" I swam past him and he looked at me with confusion. I got to Abby and pulled her into a hug and whispered into her ear "he's ok now. He's not mad at you. He just wants to talk to you." She nodded her head but still clung to me. Jake came over to us. "Well, Love, I guess we come as a packaged deal."
"Alright. Abigail, you know that I would never hurt you, right?" Abby nodded. "And you know that I don't want to see you sad?" Again, she nodded. "But sometimes, I have to make you sad so that you will understand when something is wrong, I don't want you to be like me."
"But Daddy! I want to be just like you and Mommy!"
"I know you do Munchkin, but Daddy was mean when he was in high school. Even to Mommy."
"You were?"
"Yea, I was, and I don't want you to act like that so you need to know discipline."
"Ok. I love you Daddy." She let go of me and reached out for Jake, who gladly took her and held her tight. "I wanna go jump in now!" She wiggled out of Jake's grasp and dog paddled her way to the side and climbed out.
"Wonderful, Jakey, just wonderful." I hugged him tightly and whispered to him. "We need to work out these rules together so we don't mess up."
He nodded his head and hugged me closer, then pulled me underwater with him. When we resurfaced, I playfully punched his shoulder. "Jake, I could have drowned!"
"Not with me."
I rolled my eyes and pulled away from him, then dunked his head under the water. "How did you like that?"
"You wanna know how I liked that?" I shook my head yes. "Ok then!" He pushed my head under water and I just sat there holding my breath. I was probably under for about a minute and a half before Jake got worried about me. "Miley, Babie, please come up. I don't want you to get hurt." I stayed under water with my eyes closed trying to make it look like I passed out. I heard him mumble "Oh shit." Then he grabbed me by the shoulders and pulled me up above water and out of the pool. He laid me on my back and started doing CPR. When he put his lips to my mouth, I grabbed his head and kissed him, hard. Which took him totally by surprise! He quickly pulled away. "Shit Miley! You scared me! Don't you ever do that again!"
I pretended to cough up some water. "Well, I got the lungs of a singer, and I got the acting skills of a Ryan." He laughed and leaned over me and gave me a kiss.
"That you do Mrs. Ryan, that you do." He stood up, then helped me up ,and we jumped back into the pool. Kaylee and Abby were playing mermaids in the shallow end of the pool. Jake decided to pick me up and throw me further out into the pool. That's when Abby turned to look at us.
"Daddy! Daddy! Do that to me!" Jake picked her up and lightly threw her. She loved it! We played around in the pool for about an hour, then got out so we could have lunch.
I made sandwiches for everyone, then after we all ate, Abby, Kaylee, and Annie were put down for their naps. Lilly and Jackson went upstairs to take a 'nap' too, and Morgan went out to ride her horse, so it was just me and Jake. We decided to just watch a movie. I chose Camp Rock. We watched that until my dad and Nes came in the door...
