Everyone left Miley's house except for Jake.
Miley made dinner for Leslie. Miley and Leslie insisted that Jake stay.
After dinner, Leslie and Miley let Jake look through some old photo albums of Miley and Leslie.
Around 8:00, Miley turned on the movie "Finding Nemo." Leslie insisted on watching it. She was excited to watch it again. This was the first time she got to watch it with her dad.
It was now around 9:00.
"I'm tired," Leslie murmured. She yawned.
Leslie leaned her head on Jake's shoulder.
Within a minute, she was sound asleep.
"She's sleeping," Jake whispered to Miley, "I'll take her to her room."
Jake gently lifted his daughter and carried her to her room.
Miley followed him. Jake carefully laid Leslie on her bed. He pulled the sheets up over her.
Miley and Jake watched as Leslie slept soundly.
"She's beautiful," Jake admired.
Miley grinned. "And we created her."
Jake nodded. "Yeah...I'm just sorry I missed out on so much."
Jake and Miley slowly crept out of the room and went back to the TV room. They sat on the couch. Jake sat on one end, while Miley sat on the other.
"Ya know, you can sit closer," Jake offered.
Miley smiled. She slowly inched her way over to Jake.
Jake wrapped his arm around her. She snuggled close to him.
"I missed you so much. Not a day went by that I didn't think about you. I thought of you EVERY day," Jake whispered.
Miley smiled. "I missed you, too, Jake...I missed you SO much."
Jake sighed. "Well...it's time to move on from the past when we weren't together. Now, we can focus on the present...and the future?"
Miley said, "Future?"
Jake nodded.
"You think we have a future?"
"Well, even if you and I don't...me and Leslie have to have one, so yeah...there is a future."
Miley's face slowly turned into a frown. "You don't think you and I have a future?"
"What kind of a future are you talking about?" Jake asked.
Miley shrugged. "Jake...Jakey...I..."
Jake smiled. "You called me Jakey! For the first time in seven and a half years! WOW!"
Miley smiled back. "Yeah...so...do you think you and I have a...romantic future?"
Suddenly, something came over Jake. He had the burning desire to kiss Miley.
"Yes," he answered truthfully.
"R-really? Well, I-"
Miley was cut off by Jake's lips crashing into hers.
She was caught completely by surprise.
Miley wrapped her arms around Jake's neck, and he put his arms around her waist.
When the kiss ended, Miley was speechless.
"I...I..." she managed to say.
"That was great," Jake said.
Miley smiled. "Yeah," she agreed.
"I've really missed you, Miles."
"Yeah, I missed you, too...OHMY! I forgot, I have to go get Leslie's presents from the garage. Santa has to come and put the presents around the tree!" Miley jumped up.
"Oh, no! I don't have anything for her!"
"That's okay. You just found out about her today. Actually, you ARE her present!" Miley laughed, "She's always wanted to meet her daddy."
"Aw!" Jake whispered, "Well, what did you get her? I can pay you for some of the stuff."
"Oh, Jake, that's not-"
She was cut off again by Jake's soft lips against hers.
"Okay!" Miley agreed a moment later.
MILEY'S POV
THE NEXT MORNING
"Mommy!!!! Santa came!!"
UGH. I rolled over and looked at the clock.
7:00 a.m. Freakin' 7 in the morning.
I looked up. "Really? He did? Yay!" I managed to mutter.
"Come see what I got!" My daughter jumped up and down on the bed.
"Okay, okay!" I smiled.
I hopped out of bed and pulled Leslie to the floor. I held her hand and we walked ovut of my room.
"Did daddy leave?" Leslie asked suddenly. I could hear the sadness in her voice.
"Nope! I'm right here, squirt!" Jake said, as he walked into the house, "I just came back from the store!"
"DADDY!" Leslie yelped. She race over to her dad and gave him a huge hug.
"Come sit down and open your presents, Les!" I said groggily.
After Leslie opened all the gifts, she thanked me. Then, Jake said, "Guess what I bought for you, Les?"
"WHAT?" Leslie shrieked.
Jake pulled Leslie outside. I followed.
Jake got Leslie a new bike!
"OHMYGOSH! Mom, look! He got me a bike! Yay!" Leslie squealed.
I smiled. "Thanks, Jake!" I said.
Jake laughed. "Yeah...well...I got something for you, too.
Leslie and I turned to face Jake "You did?" I asked, with surprise, "Well I obviously didn't get anything for you...because...you know, I didn't even know you were coming til yesterday."
Jake nodded. "It's okay," he told me.
"What did you get for mommy?" Leslie asked excitedly.
I smiled.
Then, Jake reached into his pocket. Slowly, he got down on one knee.
I gasped.
He wasn't going to...no way! My heart started beating faster and faster.
Jake held out a little box. He opened it, revealing a beautiful ring.
Jake smiled and sweetly cooed, "This is something I wished I could've done seven and half years ago. So now that we're starting over...I just want you to know that I still love you more than life. And I love our daughter. Not being a part of you're life makes me sad. I need to be with you and Leslie. I love you, Miles. So...Miley Stewart...will you marry me?"
