Miley's POV
"Your dad is such a freaking jerk?" I talked to my stomach. Nick left an hour and a half ago, and the jerk didn't even come back. I got off the hair and walked out of the nursery room and into the master bedroom. Most of our clothes were there in the closets and dressers. Nick had everything painted and set up. It looked really good.
I went over to the nightstand and looked at the flashing alarm clock, not yet to be set. Than my eyes flashed to the two pictures that were sitting on the nightstand. One was our wedding night, during our first dance. And the second is our latest ultrasound picture. It was sweet to know he was thinking about us when I was at the apartment.
But than I remembered that he was being a jerk, and walked out the room. Everything was painted and it was a matter of days before we would officially move here. Nick had unpacked most of the boxes from the kitchen. Which I was thankful for because I was still pissed off at him. I walked into the hallway and went for my cell phone, to call my stupid husband.
I dialed his number but it went straight to voicemail. I decided that I was going to give him a great message.
"Hey it's Nick, leave me a message at the beep"
"Hey Nick, yeah it's your wife. Uh…where the hell did you go? If you want to get back to me that you can come get me at the house. You know the place you left me after you got in a huff" I demanded and shut my phone
I put my cell phone on the counter and I heard the click of the door.
"Here to apologize Mr. Grouch?" I turned around putting my arms across my chest. But Joe's head popped in and I now I was confused…"What are you doing here?"
"I'm going to need you to come with me" Joe said calmly, which made me nervous
"What's going one?" I asked going closer to Joe
"Come on Miley we need to go" He said directing me out of the house
"Joe what's wrong?" I asked, I knew that this couldn't be good. Not when he's acting like I'm fragile.
"Now I don't want you to freak out"
"I just want you to tell me what's going on" I said more forceful as Joe opened my door, and Nick sprang into my head "What happened to him?"
"Miley he's going to be fine but we need to just go"
My heart dropped and I could feel my head spinning. He must have gotten into a car accident, and it's all my fault. If I wasn't mean to him, or talked about him behind his back than he would be fine right now.
"Miley" Joe staring at me, I looked over and he had worry all in his face.
"You need to calm down" He said
It was than that I noticed my breathing had quickened. "What's wrong with him?"
"He went to his moms house after leaving you and all Denise told me was to get you because Nick passed out and she had to get to the hospital right away. She didn't want you to freak out and she thought I could tell you calmly." Joe said as he drove down the road
"It's probably his sugar" I said feeling like a failure "I am such a horrible person I didn't even make sure he ate"
"Nick's a big boy, he needs to make sure he eats and controls his sugar"
"Yeah but I made him so busy that he couldn't"
"Miley he's going to be fine" Joe said for about the millionth time
"I need you to stop telling me he's going to be okay, and just freaking take me to the hospital so I can see him and make sure he's okay"
Joe nodded and didn't say another word. I stared straight out the window my mind going crazy. I just wanted to see Nick and make sure that everything was okay. Three stop lights, and four right turns later we were finally at the hospital. I rushed out of the car, to my best ability and wobbled up to the desk.
"I need to see my husband, he came in here by ambulance with his mom. "
"Name please" The women said looking up from her computer
"Nicholas Grey"
"He came in about a half hour ago, he's in room two hundred and nine you can go see if you'd like him"
"Thank you" I said going to the elevator, and catching it as someone was going through the door. I got out my phone and txted the room number to Joe so that he would know where it would be.
But than I realized that I have no clue what floor it would be. I smiled at the man and clicked floor number three, figuring it sounded good enough, secretly hoping that it was the right one.
The elevator dinged, I hurried and tried my best to run down the hallways. I checked the pillars on the walls to make sure I was right. And sure enough I was heading in the right direction. The numbers kept going up as I sped walked. Finally my eyes reached two hundred nine, my poor swollen feet were trying to get there as fast as they would go.
The door was opened so I took it upon myself to walk in. And when I did I saw Denise and Danielle sitting there. They looked up and smiled a little before looking at the same direction. I followed their eyes and saw Nick sitting up in bed with a few Iv's in his arm. Nick looked over and sand than looked straight ahead.
I heard shuffling and the next thing I knew Denise is standing near me. She opened her arms and hugged me "Good luck he's grumpy but it's for understandable reasons"
Denise gave me sort of a good luck smile before going out the door. Danielle grabbed my hand and squeezed it before going out the door. I walked slowly over to chair next to the bed and sat down in it. Nick didn't look at me, just staring straight ahead.
"What happened?" I asked even though I had a feel about what happened
Nick looked over his eyes weren't a smooth chocolate, they were like charcoal. "My blood sugar was low, and I fainted at my moms house"
I couldn't say anything not because I didn't want too, but because I didn't know what to say.
"I'm sorry" I said not able to look at him. "I'm sorry for everything, I didn't know everything was making so stressed. I'm so sorry I didn't make sure you were getting fed"
Nick looked over and his face softened "Please don't cry"
I wiped my eyes and looked in the opposite direction, I spoke but as soon as the words came out of my mouth they cracked "I'm not"
Nick opened his arms for me to come in and I crawled into the hospital bed and laid on my back because that was the only position I could rest on these days.
"I'm really sorry that I didn't make sure you were getting enough sugar, or eating enough"
"Miley it's not your fault" He said resting his arm around my shoulder, thankfully I chose the side that the IV's weren't in.
"But I made you so busy and stressed that you couldn't even make sure you were in check"
"Miley seriously it's no big deal, what's done is done. Nobody can change what's already happened." Nick assured me kissing my cheek.
I nodded and snuggled my head onto his shoulder. "How long do you have to be here for?"
"Just tonight"
"I didn't think it would be too long"
"Yeah they just want to make sure that my sugars under control before they send me home"
"I'll just sleep on the sofa" I said
"I don't think so, you can stay with my mom tonight" Nick sternly said
"Fine" I said not arguing because honestly it's been really hard to sleep lately and I don't think I would get any sleep on that hard hospital sofa. "I don't think that this has ever happened to you"
"Me either, I've always been on top this stuff"
I know, that why I feel so guilty.
"But it's not your fault. I should have remembered. I've had this for almost my whole life I should have remembered"
I nodded quickly because honestly I didn't know what to say, and I wasn't sure if that was the right reaction.
"I wish I could help you more with getting the new house ready"
Nick smiled at me and shook his head "I like getting the house ready, I honestly don't mind. But when you bring Joe over to the house and having him help us decorate the babies room, something we were supposed to do together"
"I didn't know you felt that way" I admitted, and to tell you the truth I was really upset that I made him feel that way
"I thought that the nursery was something was we were going to together, and than you called Joe" Nick said "It's just that I did most of the house and than our thing together ws going to be the nursery"
"I know…I should have been more considerate, and thought about things. But I promise it's not going to be like that anymore."
Nick shrugged and rubbed his hand over my arm. "Doesn't matter, I was grumpy and just tired. I'm fine with it now"
"No I promise we will finish the rest of the nursery by ourselves and I will help you with whatever I can"
Nick nodded and smiled knowing that he was going to loose, and he just had to agree with me.
I heard a knock on the door and Joe come through the door.
"Is it safe to enter the hospital room of the wounded in World War III?" Joe joked, I couldn't help but chuckle a little but Nick smiled and waved his hand to come in
"So what happened, your mom called me like freaking out" Joe said sitting on the couch
"My sugar was low and I passed out" He said as if it wasn't no big deal
"So you have to stay over night?"
"Yep" Ni ck nodded.
I'm glad he's better, now all I have to worry about is me.
OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOoooOOOOooOOOOoooOO
I laid down on Denise's sofa my feet propped on Danielle's lap.
"Oh my, gosh look how swollen your feet are" Danielle said going to massage them.
"Story of my life" I said munching on some pickles.
"When I get older I'm not having any babies"
"How come?" I asked curious
"You get stretch marks, your belly button get's weird, nasty food cravings, you gain
weight, and you get moody"
I smiled and took another bite of my pickle "It's not that bad, you get to feel the baby kick and the hormones are the most fun. I get on your brothers nerves with them"
Danielle laughed and shook her head
"Your crazy"
"Who Miley?" Denise asked coming in and setting a glass on the stand next to the sofa I was lying on
"Thanks" I smiled, Denise shook her head and smiled
"Yeah Miley" Danni said as she continued to rub my feet, something I missed from when Nick was actually staying at the apartment.
"She's a crazy, but very sweet girl" Denise winked at me
"Total opposite of my brother" Danni said
"I add more to his sometimes serious attitude" I shrugged.
"That's for sure" Danni agreed
I put a hand on my stomach and felt my belly button, it was true it did feel weird.
"What kind of eyes do you think your babies going to have?" Danni asked, and I smiled
"I want our baby to look exactly like Nick. I don't want anything of mine on it"
"Nick does have a cute nose and hair" Denise nodded "But I think he or she should have your eyes"
I shook my head "Yeah I like my blue eyes but I like his brown ones"
"Yeah but the baby should have your shape to them"
I nodded and sat up taking a drink of my milk. I felt Danielle sigh and take my feet off her lap. I put my cup down and looked over and saw Danni stretch her arms over her head.
"I'm heading to bed, I have school tomorrow" Danielle smiled and hugged me, and than went over to Denise and kissed her cheek and gave her a hug. "Good night you guys"
"Good night" I smiled and waved as she went up the stairs, and I laid back down on the couch and grabbed the blanket and placed it at the end. My toes were always colder than the rest of my body which was always so freaking hot. I felt like I was always sweating and it was just crazy.
"So do I get Nick's old bedroom tonight?"
"Yep, why are you ready to head up?"
"No, I was just wondering" I smiled and rested my hand on my stomach so that I could
put it somewhere.
I stared straight ahead not really looking or listening to anything. The same thoughts came through my head as were before, almost every night before I went to sleep.
"Can I ask you a question without me sounding stupid"
"Sure thing sweetie you can ask me anything"
I smiled and Denise waiting for me to continue
"I think that history is repeated itself. I mean think about it you and my mom were best friends pregnant together. Now me and Taylor are pregnant together and it scares the crap out of me. What is it really does repeat itself and either Taylor or I die"
"Miley I can almost assure you that it won't happen"
"But it can…" I argued
"But it won't" Denise smiled
"I hope not, that worries me all the time"
"Miley your mom's problems in the delivery room has nothing to due with you, it was your mom that had the problem. Nothing will happen to you, or Taylor. The doctors that we have now will suspect anything that is wrong with you and will determine if you need a C-section. I wouldn't worry about anything you don't need to"
"You really think so?"
Denise smiled and nodded and she got up from the chair and went over underneath the TV stand and grabbed something. It looked to be like a scrap book. Denise sat down on the floor beneath where I was laying.
"You can sit up here"
"No I'm fine" She smiled and I looked down and sure enough, there was a scrap book in her hand.
"I haven't seen this one" I said as she flipped it open and I looked at the title 'Nicholas' Life'
"I am still in the process of making it, the scrap book has at least five pictures of every age. I have a regular scrap book of him and than I have a scrap book of him and his friends, which is this." Denise flipped to the first page of the book and it said '1991' in fancy writing.
"This is your mom and me before I had Nick. It was actually a week before I had him."
"And a month before she died" I said looking at the picture of my mom smiling with Denise, she looked so happy as they hugged.
"She was so upset that we weren't going to give birth on the same day or month"
Denise flipped the page and it had pictures of Nick wrapped in a blue blanket and the picture showed my mom lying on the bed with a hand on her stomach and an arm wrapped around Denise's shoulders and smiling.
"This is crazy" I smiled looking at the rest of the pictures on the page. It had my dad and my mom holding Nick, they looked so cute together.
Denise flipped the page again and this time it said '1992' in the same handwriting.
I looked at the book and Denise put it on her knee and I could see it better. I saw pictures of me and Nick laying down in the sink together.
"How old were we there?" I laughed at the fact I was in a sink, I've never heard of that before
"You were nine months and he was eleven"
"Gross…we got baths together when we were younger" I said thinking about it
"Whatever" Denise nudged me and pointed to my stomach "I'm not naïve, I know how that baby got in there"
I smirked and looked down at the book and Denise flipped through a couple of ages and I looked at the pictures on the next page. It showed a young Nick, I think we were eight in the picture. Nick's smile was huge but had his two front teeth missing. His arm was wrapped around my waist as I held up a pumpkin that we had picked out together. I remembered this day, when we went out to the pumpkin patch and picked one out for us to decorate together.
Denise flipped the page again, and again, and again. The pictures flooded my mind and as time goes on Lilly, Oliver, Joe and Taylor start to come in. There was one where we were in front of the tree are arms over our shoulders just smiling at the camera. I don't remember what we were doing though. But I could tell we were probably twelve.
Denise flipped through the book and I could tell we were getting older in the pictures. I could really see how we had grown up in the past years.
"Whoa wait, what is this picture" I laughed taking the book from her hands and flipping the page back. I was shocked to find a picture of Nick and I kissing. I remember that day perfectly. He had cornered me outside because I wouldn't give him his water gun. We were sixteen almost seventeen there.
"Well I am going to head to bed, I will let you take the book upstairs and look at it" Denise said getting up and kissing my cheek "Good night"
"Night" I said smiling and waving as she went up the stairs. When she was away I looked at the scrap book and I waited until she went up and looked through the book again. But as soon as I tried to get comfortable, I couldn't. So I decided to go up in bed and look at the book. I gripped the top of the sofa and sat up. I felt like an old lady, but I managed.
I made my way up the stairs and into Nick's old bedroom. It looked exactly the same, pictures that I hung up were still there. His old computer was still there, the old bed spread was still there. Everything was the same, it was like it was a flashback night.
I thankfully already had my pajamas on so I just climbed into bed. I pulled back the blankets and got under them. I opened the book and placed it on my stomach, it was large enough for it to be a book holder. I flipped through it and kept looking at the pictures. It really made me miss Nick even more. I haven't slept in the same bed as Nick since forever. I really wanted him to just come with me right now.
One Month Later…
.
I smiled as I held onto Paul's hand and guided him into our new house him and Denise were blind folded. Nick had my dad and his mom, Heather wasn't able to check the place out because she had to work. But I promised her she would be able to come get a tour by herself.
This is going to be the first time they all see the house finished. Nick had done such an amazing job with making the house perfect I mean seriously it was better than I imagined. Denise's heels clicked on the floor as we made our way through.
"Can we take the blind fold things off?" My dad asked and I looked over at Nick and he smiled at me. I unwrapped the tie from around Paul's eyes and Nick did the same with my dad and his mom.
"Son, wow you did an amazing job in here" Paul said taking a look around. Denise looked at me before walking around.
"This is an amazing house you two, I am so proud" She said turning around and looking at what she missed behind her.
"It was all Nick, he put his heart and soul into this house" I smiled going over and wrapping my arm around his waist and resting my head on his chest.
My dad smiled and started to walk to the bedrooms and Denise and Paul followed. I looked up and smiled at Nick, wrapping my arms around his neck. It had literally gotten to the point, where I could hardly reach his neck because my stomach was so big. It was ridiculous, but I couldn't help it.
"Tonight's our first night at the house together with it all finished" I smiled while one of his hands were resting on my hip and another on my arm rubbing it as it relaxed and I played with the ends of his hair.
Nick gave me a look, that had confusion and a little worry, like he thought he knew what I was talking about.
I moved my arm down his chest and stopped at his belt.
"You know how I feel about you know…with you being so close to your date" Nick said looking towards the bedrooms to make sure our parents weren't coming.
"Yeah I know…" I sighed, that was the problem I was so in the mood like almost all the time, but he didn't want to because of my stomach and he thinks that he squishing the baby, or that the baby will be swimming or something stupid like that. But he won't listen to me and he doesn't have the guts to ask the doctor even though she will tell him the same thing I did.
Nick kissed me once before letting go and grabbing my hand and walking to the bedrooms to look for our parents. We went into the nursery and I saw them looking around. This was my favorite room in the house because it was a mix of Nick and I together and making it a room for our first child.
The room was sort of a crème color but had a little sage in it. It was a perfect color for a baby without gender known to us. The crib was brown and all the furniture matched. The changing table was out in the living room because we figured it would be better and more convenient if it was out there. But the babies dresser was finished and the clothes were put away. There was my teddy bear Beary from when I was growing up. I hoped that my son or daughter would keep passing it on.
There was a little thing for diapers to store in, the room had just about everything down to my dad's old rocking chair. The one that my mom had picked out for her to use on me.
"Fabulous job on the nursery you two" Denise smiled coming over to us
"Thanks" Nick smiled as my dad patted him on the back and Paul did the same as they walked to the next bedroom. I was very proud of Nicholas, he did a wonderful job on our house. Especially on a house he didn't want in the first place, but so far we were able to make payments and we were well off. So we have nothing to worry about.
Nick grabbed my hand as we walked together into the next room with our family. It was kind of a cool thing to do because we are finally able to see what the house turned out like. Like we are finally stepping back and seeing the whole canvas. It was a neat thing to do, and to do it with our family.
We finally made it to the back yard and their were compliments going round and round, but I just stared straight ahead.
"Our kid and Elvis are going to be running around here one day" Nick said coming behind me and resting her chin on my shoulder and wrapping his arms around the top of my stomach. I smiled and leaned into him.
"I know, it's not far away" I said, Nick kissed my cheek and leaned his head into my neck. I looked at Denise and I saw her wink at me and took out her camera from her pocket.
Kodak moment I guess…
