"Surpise" Joe said smiling and than Taylor held out her hand
"We're married"
"Excuse me?" I asked making sure that I heard her right. Taylor put her arms around Joe's waist and smiled
"We got married today" Joe said for her as he put his arm around her body bringing Taylor closer to him.
I couldn't say anything; they were married for crying out loud. Nothing I say could change anything. Why did they rush, I mean the only reason I could think of them rushing was if…
My jaw could have literally fallen, my eyes moved from them, to the rings, to her stomach.
"Oh my no way Taylor" I said covering my mouth
Joe kissed Taylor's head and she nodded putting a hand over her stomach
"We have a nut case in our future" Taylor said trying to make this sound even better
I shook my head and just stared. I mean it wasn't like they were nineteen and married. At least they were a little older, but still I mean…I don't even know what to say.
"I am going to see Nick and break the news" Joe said going out the door, to his car. I grabbed Taylor's hand and dragged her up the stairs into my room. Taylor went straight for my bed and sat down.
I didn't say anything as I went to sit on the computer chair.
"Can I at least get a word" Taylor laughed nervously
"I'm not mad, because I have no reason to be mad. This is you two's decision to get married, but I mean I wasn't even invited" I said and honestly that's the only thing that's making me upset is knowing that I wasn't at my best friends wedding.
"I know but we had to do it as soon as we could, and we thought about it and we knew that we had to do it without anyone. That way when we tell our parents we could honestly say nobody was there and it was just in the moment thing"
I nodded still wishing that she would have at least told us about her getting married.
"We knew we had to do it fast because I am pregnant and if my parents knew I had sex before marriage they would kill us. So with us getting married we can tell my parents next month that we had a honeymoon baby"
"But won't they know either way because of when your going to be due"
"I will figure that out later, but for now that if good enough"
I smiled and nodded
"I still wish you would have told me so I could have been there" I said getting up from the chair to sit next to her on the bed
"Trust me I wanted all of you guys there but we had to get this done as soon as possible" Taylor said kicking off her shoes
"You are spending the night and it's going to be the two of us"
Taylor hugged me and squealed as she went to my pajamas. I grabbed her cell phone and texted Joe to say that Taylor and I were having a girls night, and to say at Nicks. Taylor came out of the bathroom with my tank top on and a pair of shorts.
I went in next to change into pajamas. When I came out Taylor was closing her phone.
"I told Joe you were spending the night here tonight" I said getting a pony tail to pull it up
"Thank you" Taylor smiled
"So…" I smiled
"Yeah" Taylor laughed
"When are you due?" I asked, and honestly it felt so weird to talk to her about this
"I am due right after I graduate"
"Wow well at least you will be out of college" I said sitting down on top of the bed.
"That's what we are thankful about" Taylor said and than smiled "So I heard that your boy toy got a dog?"
"Yeah…" I said remembering the day he got that dog
Flashback…
"Nick why do you need to do this?" I asked as we walked into the pet adoption place
"Because I need to learn responsibility and I need the extra company for when your not there" He smiled grabbing my hand, as I rolled my eyes. This is all he's been talking about since the day he thought about getting a dog.
"Your not going to change your mind" I said
"Nope" He smiled kissing my cheek before we went up to the desk. My mind wondered not listening to Nick talk to the man behind the counter. I felt my hand being pulled, I guess that means we are going back. I looked up and saw Nick give me a confused look but I smiled instantly. He was so adorable.
We walked back to where the dogs were and I could hear the obnoxious barking. I had nothing against animals, in fact I loved dogs.
But the fact that this dog was to replace me when I went back home, I don't know how I feel about that.
Nick took his hand out of mine and wrapped it around my waist bringing me closer. I looked at all the dogs around me, I felt bad that they didn't have a home. I looked at all there sad faces and now I knew how sad the puppy dog face is really sad and convincing.
"The guy said to look through and if I have any questions to come see him" Nick said looking around
"What kind of dog are you looking for?" I asked
"I don't know yet, which ever one looks like they need the most help" Nick said looking around, I loved this side of Nick. The one where he wants to help anything that he can and at any costs. I watched him walk down the pathway.
Dogs were barking, dogs were howling, dogs were wagging his tail, dogs were everywhere.
"Miles look at him" Nick pointed to the little puppy sitting just staring at us, he wasn't jumping, wagging his tail, no barking, just sitting there. He looked so sad.
"Aw" I said letting go of Nick so I could bend down to be eye level with the pup. I looked into his sad chocolate eyes and I instantly fell in love with the precious little thing. I looked up at Nick and smiled
"I'll go get the guy" Nick smiled as he went back down the hallway. I sat here just looking at the sad little puppy. A few minutes later, Nick and the gentlemen came back and the man opened the door for us so that we could check out the dog. Nick went into the cage and grabbed the dog.
I reached out to pet him, and the dogs head snapped back at me. Nick pulled away from me, I guess he thought the dog was going to bite me, but the puppy began to lick me.
I laughed and looked up at Nick with pleading eyes.
"You should get this one, it's a puppy and he's adorable" I said continuing to pet him
"How much will this one cost?" Nick asked looking at the employee
"Two hundred" He said petting the dog
Nick looked at me and than at the dog.
"We'll take him" Nick smiled as the dog licked his face and I saw his tail wag a little.
Flashback Over
"It's been hell ever since he got that dog" I said shaking my head "He's ate two pairs of Nick's shoes and I went over there the other day to find out that Elvis ate my freaking bracelet that I had left there. Oh and than I was sitting there eating Oreo's and dipping them in peanut butter and the next thing I hear was the jar hitting the floor. I look down and saw Elvis' nose in the jar trying to get some out. "
Taylor laughed and laid down on my bed.
"So what's new for you, I mean I literally haven't seen you in few months" I said turning to look at her.
"Well I'm married and knocked up" She smirked but than waved her hand in the hair "I am almost finished with school just like you and I missed talking with my best friends all together"
I smiled and got up from my bed
"I am going to paint your toe nails" I smiled grabbing my container full of toe nail polish and went to sit on the bed.
"I miss us doing this" Taylor said flexing her feet as I went to take off the chipping nail polish.
"Me too, I miss us not being in high school. Us not being able to have study groups, even though we wouldn't get anything done because we would be gossiping" I laughed
"I know I miss our little nightly sessions where I would tell you what Joe had done to me that week" Taylor giggled
"Uh…I will never forget the time you came in all blushed" I rolled my eyes playfully
"Oh yeah that was the night I my first hickey" Taylor said continuing to giggle. I laughed and began to paint her toes. "So what time is Mrs. Lilly going to get here?"
My head sprang up at the mention of her name
"Have you told her yet about you getting married?"
"Nope she went to her mom's house this weekend with Oliver so she wasn't even there" Taylor shook her head
"So I was the first one to know?" I asked secretly happy
"Yep" She smiled
XOXOXOXO
I heard whispers but I didn't open my eyes, it seemed way to early to even be awake. I felt Taylor mumble something and felt her get up. There was no way that they were going to do something to me. I laid on my back and opened my eyes. When I looked up I saw five people standing in front of me.
"Lilly! Oliver!" I yelled jumping up from my bed to wrap my arms around the two of them, they looked just the same. But I guess that was expected, it wasn't like I hadn't seen them in years. But it sure did feel like it
"Hey" They both said hugging me back. I leaned back and smiled at them. But than I looked at the night stand and saw that it was twelve thirty in the afternoon. Taylor had just woken up to and I saw her make her way to my closet to grab something to wear.
"Joe texted us and said to head to Nick's before we came here so we did and they drove us to your house" Oliver explained
"Yeah the two of them showed up here last night and Taylor spent the night" I explained as the two of them nodded. Taylor came out of my closet dressed in a pair of sweat shorts and tank top. Joe smiled and opened his arm for her to step into.
Lilly eyed them suspiciously and smiled.
"You two look happier than normal" Lilly said putting her hands on her hips.
Taylor looked up at Joe with questioning eyes and Joe nodded kissing her cheek.
"Well Joe and I got married yesterday" She smiled putting out her hand to show Lilly her hand
"You got knocked up didn't you" Lilly said with her jaw dropped just as mine was the night before
"I'm not knocked up" Taylor glared a little but than scratched her head "I just simply have a little baby growing in me"
"Taylor!" Lilly exclaimed throwing her arms around her neck hugging her to death, but I knew that wasn't going to last because and I was right because not even ten seconds later Lilly let go and stared at her and she slapped Taylor and Joe on the arms "Why the hell didn't you tell us you were getting freaking married?"
Joe laughed and shook his head "Nobody knew Lilly we had to do and this way if anyone asks we can say nobody was there it was a spur of the moment thing"
Lilly softened her glare and pulled them in for another hug "You're not off the hook for not inviting us but forgive you. I just can't believe you two are married and are going to have a baby"
"Neither can we!" Taylor said putting a hand on her stomach.
I rolled my eyes and pulled on everyone.
"Group hug" I yelled and put my arms around as much people as I could.
"I love you guys" Taylor cried and we all started laughing together "I really do, I mean I love you guys"
"We love you too Tay" Oliver said chuckling a little.
XOXOXOXOXOXO
6 Months Later
I officially was done with college, I was out and free to do whatever I pleased. I sat here looking out the window, knowing that now I was free to go and roam if I pleased. But for now we were on the way to a hospital in L.A.
Joe had called two hours ago saying that Taylor was in labor and to get down here, because he needed out support. I packed a few days of clothes and went to Nick's to tell him. And soon after we were on the road to go there.
We were almost there, not much road to cover. Taylor and Joe were hoping that the baby would wait to come out so they could move into the apartment they bought in Malibu. But it looks like that didn't work because we were on our way to the hospital in L.A.
About forty-five minutes later the city lights came into view and soon after that we were in front of the hospital. Nick parked the car and I grabbed his hand as we went in. I went up to the receptionist
"I'm here for Taylor Lucas" I said
"And your relation to her" She asked
"I am her sister" I lied but she bought it because she told us the room number and we went up the elevator to go see them. I went up and saw Lilly and Oliver were already there. We walked over and the two of them sat down. Taylor's parents along with Joe's were all sitting there staring at the door.
"You guys are like so freaking lucky, Joe just came out a few minutes ago and said that Taylor was just about to push"
"That was fast!" Nick said looking towards the door and as he did, Joe popped his head out and saw us and smiled
"I was just coming out to see if you guys were here. She said she wasn't going to do anything without everyone here" Joe said
"Well we're here" I smiled and than dragged Nick to the door and waved at Taylor and I could tell that she tried to be happy but she was in pain
"Joe!" She yelled soon yelled putting out her hand
I waved and wished him good luck before going back over to the others. I looked over at the soon to be grandparents.
"Are you guys hoping it's a grand daughter or grand son?" I asked them
Shelly, Taylor's mom smiled up at me and patted the spot next to her to sit. I always loved Taylor's mom she was super nice.
"Well I couldn't be more happier if it was either or" She smiled
We sat there talking and glancing at the door just waiting, but it defiantly wasn't a patient wait. Taylor's father's leg was bouncing up and down. Joe's mom was biting her nails, it was just a nervous wait.
A door clicked open and we all looked up and I saw a nurse holding open a door with Joe standing there in scrubs holding a baby in a pink blanket.
"Oh my gosh" Lilly whispered getting up from her seat going over to the door, following everyone else.
"Everyone say hi to Elizabeth June Lucas" Joe smiled looking up from his new daughter I could see the tears in his eyes and the pride.
I looked down at the precious little bundle that Joe was holding, she was really gorgeous.
"You guys can come in a few" The nurse smiled and guided Joe back into the hospital room.
I looked over and saw Joe and Taylor's mom crying. This was truly an awesome moment in life.
XOXOXOXO
Nick and I had checked into a hotel, it was twelve and we hadn't been able to see the baby because visiting hours were over right after Joe's parents and Taylor's got finished seeing the new family.
So we figured we would come back the next day and give them a break during the day. We went up to our room and I dumped my bag on the floor and slammed myself on the bed. I didn't even feel like changing, it wasn't like I was in jeans. I had actually been in my pajama's when Joe called me and I didn't change.
But Nick took out some pajama's out and went into the bathroom to get ready. I pulled the covers back and snuggled into them. I closed my eyes and I could hear Nick come out of the bathroom and over to the bed. The light turned off and he came under the covers. I moved closer to him and brought him closer to me.
"I missed snuggling with you lately" I said softly breathing in his scent.
"Me too" He said kissing my cheek before bringing the blankets up to his chin. I took my arm and wrapped it around his waist and I ran my fingers down his bare back.
"It's so weird to see that Taylor and Joe have a baby" I whispered into the night
"Yeah I know it's like surreal that we're all growing up" Nick said and that made me think of something six months ago that Denise and my dad brought up
"Did I ever tell you about the bet your parents and my dad have going on?" I asked lying my head down under his chin.
"No I don't think you did" Nick said
"Well a couple of months ago the night Taylor and Joe got married, my dad and I were sitting there and he randomly says that he has a bet going on your parents about our future"
"Oh yeah what about it?" He asked curious
"That he betted to you parents that we would get married before our twenty fourth birthday" I snorted
"They did?" He asked
"Yep apparently we are something to bet on now. We are their entertainment"
Nick didn't say anything, and that made me think if I made him uncomfortable with that kind of talk. I don't know how he feels about marriage. We never even brought it up before now.
I closed my eyes trying to go to sleep so that I wouldn't have to think about this anymore. I am so stupid for even bringing it up in the first place. I couldn't have just left things alone no…I had to open my big mouth.
"Well I am going to sleep" I said turning on the other side away from him, and I felt Nick's arm wrap around my stomach bringing me into him.
A few minutes of trying to fall asleep I couldn't do it. I still couldn't believe I brought that stupid talk up.
"Hey Miley…" Nick said in my ear
"Yeah?" I asked after a few minutes.
"Do you want to move in with me?" He asked
I sat up and turned towards him and I could see him looking at me. Where did that come from?
"What?" I asked trying to see if I really did here him correctly
"We are getting older and we're out of college and things between us are going strong. I think that you should move it with me" Nick said propping himself up on his elbow.
I sat there staring at him. I wanted to, I really wanted to but I didn't want to leave my dad there by himself.
"You can think about it, you don't need to say yes automatically or no. But can you at least say that you'll think about it?" He asked "I've been thinking about it for a while now and what you said earlier made me think that time is wasting away"
I nodded but than remembered that it was dark and he probably couldn't see me.
"Yeah I'll think about it" I said my voice laced with emotions
"Good" Nick mumbled tiredly "Now lay down and get some sleep"
Yeah, like I'll ever get any sleep now.
XOXOXOXO
The next day we walked into the hospital around two in the afternoon. I talked to Lilly and Oliver earlier and said that they already visited so we figured that now was a good time to go, before anyone else came in.
We got our visitor passes and we made our way up to the room. We knocked and Joe told us to come in. I smiled as I saw the baby in Taylor's arms.
"Hey" I said softly as I put the balloons over by the others and the teddy bear and the end of the bed.
"Thanks" Taylor smiled and waved us to come over. I took a hold of Nick's hand and we walked over to where the bed was. I looked at the baby in Taylor's hands.
"This is Lizzy" Taylor said looking down at her daughter and back at us
"She is a cutie" Nick smiled looking behind my shoulder resting his chin on my shoulder while looking at her.
"Yeah she is" I smiled at the two new parents.
"How are you feeling?" I asked Taylor
"Sore, but other than that I feel amazing" She smiled
I smile and look at Elizabeth in her arms.
"Do you want to hold her?" Taylor asked the two of us, Nick politely declines but I nodded and went over to wash my hands before going over and taking Lizzy out of her hands. I sat down on the couch and watched as her reflexes made her body jerk. I looked up and smiled at Taylor.
I heard Nick talking to Joe and Taylor but I looked down at my best friends baby. I couldn't help but feel jealous that she had all this before me. She got married before me and she had a baby before me. But than I remembered what Nick brought up the night before. I could slowly build to that, if I were to move in with him.
But what if I move in with him and he get's annoyed with having me around so much. I couldn't have that.
I curse my dad and Denise. If they wouldn't have brought the future up I wouldn't be over thinking everything. I was perfectly fine with the way things were before. Just living day by day with no worries.
I stood up and give Elizabeth back to Taylor as she starts to fuss and little.
"She's getting hungry" Taylor said trying to bounce her a little.
"I think that's our sign" Nick laughed grabbing my hand
"Yeah we'll let you guys be alone we just wanted to stop by and see you guys" I said
"How long are you guys staying?" Joe asked
"We don't know yet" Nick shrugged
"Well you don't need to feel obligated to stay if you guys want to go home, we just appreciate you guys coming down here for us" Joe said
"We know" I smiled "We wanted to come down and see you guys and be here for you. We don't get to see each other much"
"Thank you for coming down, it mean a lot to us" Taylor smiled
"I swear I would stay longer but I have a job interview tomorrow and I can't miss it" Nick said
"No I know dude, no big deal" Joe smiled and brought him a bro hug and than went for me
"I'll call you guys later on okay" I said letting go and watched as Nick went to give Taylor a hug and I followed soon after him.
"I'm sorry we have to leave so sudden" Nick apologized again
"No problem" Taylor laughed
"Alright well we will let you do your thing" I said smiling and we walked out of the room and out to the car which was already packed.
As we made out way home, Nick's question was still in my head. I really did want to move in with him but I didn't want to leave my daddy by himself. And I knew that this decision had to be made by me and only me. I couldn't have someone else make up my mind for me.
Nick looked over and smiled at me as he drove and he put his eyes back on the road. My heart felt like it was scrunched up and I laid my head on the car window looking out. This was my future.
"Nicky" I finally said
"Yeah?" He asked turning onto another road
"How many boxes do you think I would need to pack my things up?" I asked turning towards him
I felt the car swerve a little and than it pull over. He put the car in park and looked at me in shock.
"Are you serious?" He asked
"I want to move in with you" I smiled nodding my head, Nick grabbed the back of my head pulling me into a kiss. I laughed and kissed him back, I really think I made the right decision.
Now all that was left was to tell daddy…
XOXOXOXO
"You're what?" I asked shocked
"I am going out tonight" He said going around the house trying to find his keys and I stood in the middle of the family room.
"But I really needed to talk to you tonight" I said
My dad stopped looking and looked at me bringing me over to the couch sitting me down.
"What's going on?"
"You've got a date and I don't want to hold you up" I shook my head and went to get up but my dad pulled me back down
"I've got all the time in the world when you need me" My dad said "Now what do you need to talk to me about"
This was it, I had been building this courage for two weeks to talk to my dad. Nick had been patient, saying that he's been waiting years and he could wait a few more for me to move in with him. But I needed to do this, I had to do this. It was about time that I grow on and do what I want to do.
"Nick asked me to move in with him" I said and than waited for my dad to blow up and tell me how I was too young and it was irresponsible to move in with your boyfriend, and how I couldn't leave him by himself.
"I hope you said yes" My dad said with a straight face
"I did" I said nodding but I was so confused
"What's the matter than?" He asked smiling
"I thought you would be upset" I said
"I could never be upset about you growing up. I mean sure I miss you being around all the time, but face it Miley it's not like you weren't already living at Nick's"
What my dad said had truth.
"I don't want to leave you here by yourself"
"Miley I am a big boy I can handle it, please don't hold back because your worried about your old man" He laughed
I smiled and hugged him
"I'm actually moving in with Nick" I laughed
"You my darling are growing up way to fast" My dad said pulling away from me to look at me in the face.
I smiled and hugged my dad again. If he was okay with this than I am okay with this and his support was what I needed.
