WHEN I LOOK AT YOU

Epilogue

When I look at you
I see forgiveness
I see the truth
You love me for who I am
Like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong
And I know I'm not alone

Yea when my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I look at you

When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I look at you

NO ONE'S POV

The North Carolina Mental institute is now one of the most reliable mental hospitals in the world. Opposite the building is the newly built North Carolina Treatment center, which is home for adolescents who seek help for drug addiction, self harm, alcohol addiction, violence, and behavior problems. Dr. Nick Grey refused the countless promotions to be the head doctor for the mental institute for the reason that he wants to be able to personally handle his patients instead of just monitoring all the patients, which is the job of the head doctor. He had received numerous plaques and awards for his devotion in treating his patients well. Meanwhile, Selena and David stayed with Nick all the time. The three are inseparable. It was one of Nick's benefits to choose his assistants so his best friends remained their positions. Nick also had four more additional assistants. Another benefit he got is he could go home earlier than he used to be; he only works from nine to five pm now. But he was given the most number of patients because he got well known as the best doctor in the hospital; he never complained. Being a doctor is his passion.

Nick Grey walked along the corridor to the room of his patient, Lara. The thirteen year old girl smiled when her doctor entered the room. She's suffering from a severe case of trauma for almost a year, and Nick was the one who saved her from attempting to kill herself.

"Good morning Lara," greeted Nick.

"Good morning Dr. Nick!" said the cheerful girl.

"How are you, sweetie?" Nick smiled as he placed down his clipboard and just caressed the young girl's hair.

"I feel fine. When can I see my family again?" Lara asked with wide eyes.

Nick gave her a sweet smile, "Do you want me to call them today so they could visit you?"

"Really? You'd do that?"

"Yeah, I could see that you're improving and I think that's nice."

"Thank you Dr. Nick! You're the best doctor ever!" said the girl as she wrapped her arms around Nick's waist.

"I get that a lot, but thank you. It's kinda my job."

Lara noticed the gold ring on her doctor's finger, "Are you married?"

"Yeah, for almost a year."

"Ugggh! I thought you are single because I kinda like you," said Lara with a defeated look on her face.

Nick laughed, "Sorry, but this man is taken," he said as he teased the young girl known as his patient.

Lara laughed with him. The girl is surely beautiful, there's no doubt that no guy would fall for her when she leaves this place.

Nick held his patient's small hands, "Hey, I'll put you on priority with regards your release. If you prove to me that you're well enough to leave this place, I'll do my best to work your release papers so you could live again with your family and you could knock all the guys out there off their feet."

Nick's little speech caused a smile on his patient's face, "Thank you so much Dr. Nick. You're the best friend I ever had."

Nick happily walked out of the hospital and went towards the entrance of the North Carolina Treatment center.

The staff greeted him and he walked towards the room where his wife would be. He saw a girl making her own dream catcher.

He sat on the chair beside her, "Hi!"

"Hello," replied the girl as she designed her dream catcher.

"How are you?"

"I'm fine. I missed seeing you here."

"Really? I missed you too."

"Look who decided to drop by early," said the brunette woman who just entered the crafts room. Nick's smile became wider; he got up from his seat, and wrapped his arms around his wife.

When the North Carolina Treatment Center was built, Nick got Miley a job of an art teacher to the patients. She works Monday, Wednesday and Friday from nine am to five pm, and she helps counseling the patients too. They figured she is qualified since she herself experienced how it's like to be mentally ill. Working there has its perks; she got to spend lunch with Nick, Selena and David. She end Nick would go home together at the same time to their own apartment. The four of them decided to move out and buy their own apartments after David and Selena got married, followed by Nick and Miley. Sure they got separate apartments but they were just a door away from each other, those four are inseparable. Angela, the fifteen year old girl who Nick was talking to a few moments ago, is one of the patients in the treatment center for the treatment of her eating disorder, and she's doing well.

"How's Angela been doing?" Nick asked Miley.

"Her therapist told me that Angela's almost 80% done with her treatment."

"That's good. She's too young to have to deal with anorexia, she doesn't deserve all the bullying and stuff."

"I know."

"Are you ready to go?"

"But my shift doesn't end till five. It's three in the afternoon."

"I talked to your boss. I asked him if I could get you early because it's our first wedding anniversary."

"Oh, that's great! Thank God you did that! I mean, I love teaching art with these kids but I'm just so not in the mood now."

"Alright, so are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, I just have to ask Mae to watch over this art session."

Miley and Nick walked hand-in-hand in the hospital's parking lot. He opened the door for his wife and ran to the opposite side to the driver's seat. He started the engine and drove to his destination.

"Where are we going?" asked a very curious Miley.

"It's a secret," said Nick as he let out a chuckle.

They drove off to the beach which is two hours away, and Miley saw a nice looking restaurant near the shore. They went inside and took a table on the back patio which is just a few feet from the seashore.

"I've never been here before, this is really nice," said Miley as Nick pulled out the chair for her and she sat down.

"Yeah?" Nick said before he kissed the side of her head and he sat on the chair opposite hers.

They had a nice early dinner and they ate shrimps and other seafood, and they had a specialty cake for dessert.

The sun is setting; a perfect timing to walk by the beach. Nick and Miley held each other's hands as they walked barefooted along the seashore. The wind blew against their hair and clothes, the waves crashed against their feet, and they seemed relaxed and relieved, just happy being with each other.

"You know, I have thought a lot. I was thankful somehow that all those horrible things in the past, happened to me," she said as she looked up to him and studied his face. Nick stopped walking and looked at her as she continued, "Because having you as my doctor, turned my life upside down. You are the best thing that happened to me, all of those hurt and pain led me to you, only you. I couldn't thank you enough for taking care of me and loving me."

Nick touched the side of Miley's face and gently caressed her skin, "I would catch you every time you fall. I'll always be here for you, and I love you with all my heart. I'll take care of you and our children, and I'll do anything for you."

"I love you too, Nicky," she said before she wrapped her arms around Nick's shoulders and stood on her tip toes to kiss her husband for one year.

They broke the kiss and said, "Happy anniversary" to each other while looking in each other's eyes.

Nick found a special spot where they could sit; they walked on the white sand and sat on it, with Miley sitting in between Nick's legs and leaning her back against his chest. Nick wrapped his arms around Miley and she placed her arms on top of his'.

"It's funny how we ended up together," said Miley while chuckling.

"You were not a very bad patient back then."

"Yeah, just the kind of patient who got obsessed with her doctor whom she found so handsome," Miley said while giving out a big smile.

Nick laughed and kissed Miley's cheek, "And I'm the kind of doctor who denied and tried not to fall in love with his super adorable patient but she's just so damn irresistible," said Nick as he tightened his hold around Miley.

"I love you, Nicky. I don't want anything else but you," Miley turned her head on one side so Nick could kiss her lovingly.

"I love you too, Mi. You are the best thing that's ever been mine."

"She kicked! Oh my God, she kicked, Nick!" said Miley with wide eyes, totally astonished.

Nick wrapped his hands on Miley's baby bump, "Really?"

He rested his hand on his wife's six month old baby bump and caressed it. Even if he is a doctor, he still is amazed how a child could be developed in her mother's tummy, it's very intimate and he thinks it's wonderful how it works. There are times he could see Miley rubbing her big tummy while sitting in bed and she would smile wide while talking to it. He would see her sad and crying over silly things too, but he never got mad at her; he would just hold her in his arms and comfort her because he knew that being pregnant isn't that easy, it has a lot of responsibility, that's why he always reminds himself to treat his pregnant wife special.

In three months they are going to be officially mother and father. They are both scared at the thought but mostly excited to take their relationship the next level.

Miley sunk in her husband's embrace and she rested his head on his shoulder, "I would never let any sick bastard harm my baby girl when she grows up, also with our future children."

"That won't ever happen because I will never go far away from you, I will love you forever, and I will protect you and our children from any harm."

Miley smiled and they shared another sweet kiss.
