Let's Try This Again
"Aunty Miley!" yelled Savannah as she opened the door, she was Nick's niece "hey baby girl, can me and uncle Nick come in?" asked Miley, looking down at the sweet kid "yes you can and grandma says, that she wants to talk to you uncle Nicky" she said as Miley picked her up, giving her a big bear hug "okay I'll go see what she wants" he said as he walked into the kitchen.
Miley placed Savannah back on the floor and walked outside to the backyard where Nick's sisters were "hi guys" she said with a small smile "Aunty Miley" yelled Jayden "hey cutie, I miss you" she said smiling down at him "can you play with me?" asked Jayden "I will in a minute sweetheart, let me talk to your parents first" the 4 years old kid nodded his head and went back to playing with his siblings and cousins, they were Nick's nephews and nieces, Nick had 2 big sisters. Nina was the oldest one married to Ian and they had 3 kids: Savannah 6 years old, Jayden 4 years old and Austin 2 years old and then was Victoria who was married to Taylor and they had 2 kids: Tobias and Tamara 1 year old and the last kid was Nick.
With Nick and Denise:
"Hi mom" said Nick kissing her cheek "hello Nicholas" said Denise as she stopped doing what she was doing and looking at her youngest son "Savannah said you wanted to talk to me?" he said while grabbing a cookie from a plate "oh! Yes Nick" she said.
"I have organized a family trip to Costa Rica, we are leaving on Saturday this will be your last chance to show Miley that you really love her and that you don't want the divorce, I know you want to save your marriage, and I truly believe that you can, but the way that you treat Miley is not the way I taught you to treat woman sweetheart" she couldn't lie she was disappointed in her son but at the same time she really wanted to help her youngest kid to save his marriage, but she knew it was going to be hard considering that Nick and Miley were in really bad terms.
"thanks mom, I'm going but I don't think Miley will want to come, and even worse share a room and a bed with me" he said with a sigh, he was wishing he could go back in time and change everything he did wrong even the fight that they had in the morning for something so stupid.
"I will make sure she goes, but you need to stop taking all your anger out on her, I know that it's hard because you love her and you don't want to divorce her, but don't take out your anger with yourself on her because you are only making things worse" she said, Denise walked over Nick and placed her hand in his cheek "you need to stop working so much Nick I know your that's what you learned from your dad but you saw how that went with your father he missed every single birthday of you and your sisters, he wasn't there when you got married, he wasn't there for his first grandchild birth he missed everything because of his job and look how it ended; he worked so hard and stressed himself so much that he ended up passing away" it was true Nick's dad was hypertensive and he never made time to go to the doctors and get medications so at the end he just had a heart attack and died in the moment
"I don't want that to happen to my son, I don't want you missing the pregnancy of any of your kids, when you have them, I want you to help Miley and be with her during those amazing months I never got to share with your father, I want you in the birth of your kids, celebrate your anniversary with Miley, your kids birthday's, everything Nick, learn from your father's mistakes, don't make them again Nick, the concept that you had of a father and husband is the guy working and bringing money to the family and that's all, but it's not Nick, even though I looked happy from the outside I wasn't in the inside, I suffered, not only because your father missed seeing his kids grown and well every special moment with me, but also because it hurt me to know he would have never putted me in first place it was always work first, and that was not fair, not for me, not for you or your sisters, he hurt us all badly and he taught our kids a wrong concept of a family" she wiped the tear that had escaped Nick's eyes and kissed his forehead, talking about his father always was a difficult subject for Nick, because like his mother said he really did hurt Nick as a little kid, teen and adult "don't make Miley suffer like I did Nick and when you have your own kids, don't make them suffer the way you did, you are on time to change and be a better husband and in the future a father and grandfather, but if you don't change now you will lose your wife and your opportunity to have a wonderful family" and with that Denise left the kitchen and went outside to the backyard.
"Miley sweetie, can I talk to you?" asked Denise waving Miley over, Miley smiled at her and nodded her head as she stood up and walked over.
"I have organized a family trip to Costa Rica, and I would really appreciate if you come with us, you know, you are like my own daughter Miley, and I know that you and Nick aren't exactly on good terms right now, but maybe this is what you and Nick need to reconstruct your marriage".
"Denise I don't know, I have tried everything to make it work for the past 2 years, but he just seems to be so focus on work that he doesn't realize that he has a wife waiting for him at home every night, he has hurt me so many times Denise, you have no idea how much I love him, but I can't keep doing this to myself, neither to him he needs to realize somehow that what he is doing is wrong, not because he is hurting my feelings and it's destroying our marriage, but because it is unhealthy to work and overstress yourself that much" she said trying to explain herself to Denise who just smiled and nodded her head, she understood Miley's point perfectly, because she had been in her place before "I know Miley I totally understand, and I also know the reason of why Nick acts that way, but it's not my place to tell you, he has to tell you, he has to apologize, he has to make things right, both of you need to solve things up, not me, I can only help but it's not my place to tell you how he feels about this, or to tell him how you feel about this, you both need to sit down and talk your feelings out. That's why I think this vacation will be good for the both of you".
Miley thought about it for a second before nodding her head and sighing "I will go on the vacations Denise but this is his last chance, he blows it away and it's over I don't care how much it will hurt me, it will be all over" said Miley maturely.
Denise nodded her head happy, hoping her son won't blow away his last opportunity to make everything right "now I'm gonna talk to Nick" said Miley walking away from her mother-in-law.
She walked into the kitchen and saw Nick sitting on a chair with his head in both of his hands "Nick" she said standing in front of him, she was trying hard not to give in and hug him, "Mile?" Nick looked up at her almost as soon as he heard her voice.
–Mile- she thought, he hadn't called her that in a long time, he stood up and walked closer to her "I-I'm sorry for starting an argument in the morning and for grabbing that way, I would never do that on purpose, it was just the moment" he said truthfully.
Miley took a step back and a deep breath before talking "I know you are" she said before making a small pause "your mom told me about the vacations, I decided to go" she said stuttering.
Nick smiled big and opened his mouth to say something "but" Miley said before Nick could say anything, he closed his mouth and sighed he should have known it was too good to be true "this doesn't mean that we will call off the divorce, this is your last chance Nick, it would hurt me to leave you, but it will hurt me more being in a marriage were I feel like I'm not important enough to my husband" she said holding back tears, for the first time she had told Nick one of the reasons of why she wanted to divorce him "Miley I didn't know you felt that way-" Miley shook her head and sighed meanwhile wiping a tear that had fell from her eyes "save it, I don't want to hear it right now, I'm giving you this chance but, don't expect me to easily forgive and forget everything that had happened, because it will take me a while, even though you should know that I'm willing to put everything in the past, if you promise to try to make our marriage work" she said gaining confidence from nowhere.
Nick looked at her surprised but at the same time glad that she was finally opening more to him "I promise I will try my best" he said sincerely "I hope so, now go outside your nieces and nephews are waiting for you, I'm going for a walk I'll be back in 20 minutes for dinner" said Miley meanwhile wiping her tears away, she tried to avoid Nick's gaze, but she failed at it "be careful okay call me if anything happens" he told her looking at her directly in the eyes, Miley looked away and mumbled "whatever" Nick sighed at her words.
