Early the next morning, Nick lay calmly awake with his arms wrapped around his love. He admired her peaceful state and beautiful features. The way the new rays of the sun broke through the seams of the curtain and cascaded over her nude figure made her seem untouchable. Nevertheless, Nick softly smoothed his fingers tips over her exposed curve. Perfectly matching the slight dip in her side then tracing them to her swollen lips. He set the pad of his thumb on her bottom lip then tugged a little before removing his touch. He brought his hand to her hairline and slightly rubbed her hair never taking his gaze from her flawless face.

Miley was so perfect in his eyes. She was everything he could ask for if not more. Yes, she was more. He didn't deserve her love. A man who had knocked up his girlfriend at sixteen and now a single father didn't deserve such a natural soul. A beautiful woman who was the whole package. Only in Nick's eyes…

Nick snapped out of his thoughts as the soft flutter of the woman who was caressed in his arms eyes slowly opened. He softly smiled loosing himself in her deep blue orbs.

Miley mirrored his smile but applied her own blush. Here she was, naked for the first time with the only man she truly ever loved. "Morning," she whispered, bring her palm to rest on the crook of his neck.

"Morning," Nick slightly chuckled, his smile growing bigger, "The day has finally come that I get to see you with the remains of last nights sweat and sex hair mixed with bed head."

Miley blushed fiercely trying to hide her awful appearance. She shoved her face into Nick's chest, "Shut up," she giggled, the sound muffled by his broad chest.

Nick laughed along, tightening his grip around her then whispering into her ear, "You're still so beautiful."

Miley smiled to her self then placed a soft kiss on his chest then craned her neck so she could stare into Nick's eyes. With content smiles on both of their faces, Nick leaned down capturing her lips in his. A soft meeting of the mouths. They pulled away slightly after only a few seconds but still close enough so their lips were slightly grazing each others.

Miley brought her left hand behind Nick's ear and pulled him down into a more harder, heated kiss, "Should we take this to the shower?"

Meanwhile, Demi staggered into her and Miley's apartment. She felt horrible and terribly exhausted. She dropped her purse beside her bedside table when she entered her room. She trudged into her bathroom that was connected to her room. Her vision was a little blurry causing her to squint at her reflection as she approached the vanity.

She leaned her elbows on the hard surface then used her fingers to stretch out the skin around her bloodshot eyes. She sighed and turned on the faucet, splashing cold water on her face. After drying her wet skin with a towel she walked back into her bedroom and fell back onto the bed, snuggling into her blankets.

She turned toward the window that was to her left and stared out at the bright morning sky. A silent tear streaked down her face as the events of last night replayed in her mind.

After the first three lines of crack she snorted she started her shift. Approximately five minutes after the drug entered her body it started to work. She felt like she was on top of the world. Suddenly a bolt of energy surged through her veins and controlled all of her senses.

Every fifteen minutes she would go back to being tired and depressed but Katy would offer her just one more line and Demi gladly excepted. As long as she could escape herself she would do anything.

Now she wanted to abandon herself more then ever but she decided sleep was the best option now. Before drifting off she made a mental note that she would get her own supply of crack from Katy tomorrow.

Later that day, Nick and Miley drove to Joe's apartment to pick up Jonah. After chatting with Joe for awhile they decided to visit Nick's parents. Now Nick and his mother sat on the back patio watching Miley and Jonah run around the lawn.

Nick widely smiled at the sounds of Jonah's laughing screams and Miley's giggles as she chased him. Denise watched Nick intently. The way his face lit up watching the two. She had never seen her son like this. So happy and content…satisfied.

"She's great with Jonah," Denise said nodding toward Miley who was now tickling Jonah on the ground.

"Yea, she is," he smiled.

"I haven't seen you this happy since you and Macy were dating," she giggled.

Nick looked down briefly. Macy, still a touchy subject. After a second he sat up straighter and looked over at his mother.

Denise sighed, "Honey, I know you are still hurting but you have to move on for Jonah. Now I am not saying that you forget Macy and let Jonah forget that she is his mother but you need to do what is the best for both of you and I believe that Miley is a perfect for the both of you," she smiled softy, "Look," she nodded to toward Jonah and Miley again, "That is the mother Jonah needs and she is the woman you need. I see that she makes you happy even more then Macy did."

Nick chuckled as he watched the antics of his son and love, "I know she is perfect and she makes me happy. Sometimes it's hard to think about Macy but I am moving forward."

Denise reached over and gave Nick's arm a slight squeeze.

"He is so cute when he is sleeping," Miley whispered as Nick held a sleeping Jonah in his arms. After leaving his parents house it was already late and now they were entering Nick's apartment.

Nick lowly chuckled, "I am going to go put him down," he said walking into Jonah's bedroom.

Miley smiled then started roaming the living room. She laughed to herself at the various pictures of Nick and Jonah. They were always goofing around and having a good time. Stopping in the middle of the row of framed pictures, one in particular caught her eye. One of a girl. She looked young, around 16 she assumed. She had shoulder length straight brown hair and was very pretty. She ran her fingers over the glass that incased the photo and smiled.

"Pretty, huh?"

Miley jumped and looked over her shoulder. Nick laughed and placed his hands on her hips from behind, looking over her shoulder down at the picture in her hands.

"Very," she whispered, admiring the young girl, "Who is she?"

There was a brief silence before Nick spoke, "Macy," he breathed.

Miley's breath caught in her throat. This was Jonah's mother. Man, she was looker, "She's beautiful," Miley said placing the picture back in its place.

"Yea," Nick whispered as Miley turned to him. He pulled her close by her waist and placed his forehead on hers, "So are you," then he lowered his mouth.

Man, she could inhale him like this all day. His firm yet soft lips moving perfectly with hers as she tangled her fingers in his curls. Nick grunted as she deepened the kiss. Her fingers massaged the back of his head and she let out a low moan as his hands slipped lower down her back coming at a rest on her low spine.

Now they felt like they couldn't pull away. Their bodies hot with desire and passion. Then Miley pulled away, "I can't stay tonight."

"Why?" He asked, searching her eyes.

"I need to talk to Demi tonight and I have work tomorrow."

"You sure you don't want to stay?"

Miley giggled giving him a peck, "Of course I want to stay but I need to fix things with Demi."

"Ok, but you don't know what you're missing," Nick joked, walking her to the door.

"I'm sure I can survive one night and I think you are the one who will be missing out," she poked his chest as she stood at the open door.

"I know I am," he smiled, kissing her gently.

Miley walked into her apartment dropping her bag from her shoulder. She reached for the light switch in the pitch dark place, "Demi?" she called out after the light filled the room.

Not getting an answer she walked to Demi's room knocking on the door, "Demi, are you in there?" Nothing.

She cracked the door opened and sighed when she saw Demi asleep, "There's always tomorrow," she whispered to herself shutting the door and retreating to her own room for the night.
