She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by

        Michela ran into Ashley's apartment, panting,

"Bae! You called!"

Ashley chuckled when she saw the out-of-breath teenager,

"Did you run here all the way from your apartment?"

Michela nodded,

"You said you needed me here ASAP so I came as fast as I could,"

Nicholas came out of the shared bedroom looking like a mess,

"Oh, hey Mickey,"

Michela burst into laughter,

"You look even worse than me,"

Nicholas rolled his eyes,

"Amber kept us up the whole night,"

Michela chuckled and looked at Ashley,

"I thought your parents were gonna watch over Amber this weekend?"

Ashley and Nicholas shared an amused look and Ashley patted Michela's shoulder,

"Mickey, it is Monday,"

Michela's eyes widened in shock,

"Oh, shit,"

The two laughed at her until they heard crying. Ashley sighed,

"Mickey, you handle Amy for like a couple of min, Nick and I have to go to the store,"

Michela's eyes widened,

"You want me alone with your baby?!"

Nicholas laughed,

"Mickey, you are Amber's godmother, you got this,"

Michela nodded and smiled,

"Okay sure...yeah totally got this, just hurry back,"

The two parents smiled tiredly at her and hugged her before they left. Michela went into the babies nursery and smiled at her,

"Hello baby Amber, it's Aunt Mickey again,"

She carefully picked up the crying baby and she stopped crying. Michela smiled softly at her and Amber stared up at her with curious turquoise eyes. Michela smiled and sat in the rocking chair. Amber smiled and grabbed a fistful of Michela's hair and cooed. Michela awed and smiled brightly at Amber,

"Your momma and daddy are my closest friends in the world, you got lucky you little twerp. You have a huge family of amazing and great people. I might not be here much starting a few weeks from now because I start school, but I will always have your back just like your parents have mine. I'll be your little partner in crime ya see. I can tell you have your mother's fire and father's heart. Wonderful combo if you ask me. You will be our very own little spitfire, being sarcastic but clever, smart-alec but humble, brilliant, and with the biggest heart ever. You are mighty Lucky Amber Ester Belasco."

When Nicholas and Ashley came back from the store, they went into the nursery and found Amber and Michela fast asleep in the rocking chair, Amber still holding onto Michela's hair. Ashley smiled hugely and took a picture of them with her polaroid and Nicholas smiled softly after pulling Ashley into a side hug,

"We got lucky,"

Ashley smiled softly,

"We really did,"

They almost decided to leave the room to let them sleep, after all, it was 6 in the morning, but Michela opened her eyes and smiled at the two. She looked down at Amber and smiled softly before slowly standing up. She walked over to the two parents and smirked,

"I'm her favorite,"

Nicholas rolled his eyes,

"Not true,"

Michela smirked,

"Suuure,"

Ashley chuckled softly and Michela handed Amber to her,

"Here, she is asleep probably for a few hours so relax. I told Brandy that I would go over and help him with organizing his room at his house, his parents are coming back tomorrow,"

Nicholas facepalmed,

"Oh my god, I forgot about that. Do you need any help cleaning?"

Michela shook her head,

"Nah, should be simple since Brandy never stays there,"

Nicholas sighed and nodded,

"Yeah,"

Michela patted his shoulder,

"Talk to you guys later?"

The two nodded and watched as Michela left. Then she turned around and grabbed her bag that she almost left,

"Now I'm leaving,"

They laughed as she left. Nicholas looked at Ashley,

"Do you think we will end up like Brandy's parents? Always away on business?"

Ashley immediately shook her head,

"No, Nick. We both need more stable jobs now, but I'm a photographer that does work close to home, you know that. You are teaching people how to play the guitar. Sure, we don't make all that much, but we won't be going on any business trips because we don't work for anything that would require us traveling like Mr. and Mrs. Nile or Ms. Kastle."

Nicholas frowned at the mention of his best friend's mother. He sighed and hugged Ashley,

"I just don't want to mess up,"

Ashley smiled gently at him,

"And you won't. Your parents raised you greatly, and mine did with me, we know what to do and we will continue learning as we move along."

Nicholas smiled and kissed her,

"I have no idea what I would do without you,"

Ashley smirked,

"Probably crash and burn,"

Nicholas rolled his eyes at her and kissed her again.
