A birthday surprise

Being Parents Is Awesome + A Song

Miranda's pov

Me and Jason were showing the kids the treehouse. Asher was excited and sliding down the slide but Izabel was reading the plaque. Jason hugs me and Izabel turns around, looking shocked. "So..... That's why.... You adopted." I sigh, trying not to cry. "We lost our two babies so we thought we'd give two kids the life they couldn't have." I shakily say. "I'm glad you adopted me, mama." She says, walking over and hugging me. "I'm so glad we adopted you, Izabel." "Izzy!" Asher shouted. The little girl laughed and chased after her baby brother. "You okay?" Jason asks. "As great as I can be." I say, holding his hand. Our two amazing kids play tag in the yard. "Mama would kill to be here." "She's here, Miranda. You know she is." I sigh and lean into him. He knows how to calm me down when I'm upset.

Jason's pov

Me and Mike set up a new tour. I'm excited to take Izabel and Asher out on tour. It's going to be a blast. "Hey babe, could you come upstairs!" I hear Miranda call. "Oh and bring your guitar!" Ok? "On my way!" I call back, grabbing my guitar out of my songwriting room. "What's up?" "I wrote a song. And I want to know what you think of it." She says, standing up off the bed. "You know I'm gonna love it." She smiles. I hand her my guitar and she strums to a fast tune. "Don't need no copy of old magazines, don't need to dress like no beauty queen! High heels or sneakers, he don't give a damn, my baby loves me just the way that I am! My baby loves me just the way that I am!" Whoa. "He thinks I'm pretty, he thinks I'm smart, he likes my nerve and he loves my heart, he's always sayin' he's my biggest fan! My baby loves me just the way that I am! My baby loves me just the way that I am!" This song is incredible! I love it. "He never tells me I'm not good enough. Just gives me unconditional love, loves me tender, loves me mad, loves me silly and he loves me sad." I can't believe how talented she is and I didn't even know it. "When there's dark clouds in my eyes.... He just sits back and lets 'em roll on by, come in like a lion, go out like a lamb, my baby loves me just the way that I am! My baby loves me just the way that I am! He thinks I'm pretty, he thinks I'm smart, he likes my nerve and he loves my heart, Don't see no reason to change my ways.... My baby loves me just the way that I am. My baby loves me just the way that I am." She sings the last line in more of a whisper. I quickly stand up as soon as she sets the guitar down and wrap her in a hug. "Don't ever change, baby. You're so amazing just the way you are. I love that song so much!" "Oh I'm so glad you do! It's all about you! And my stubborn ways. I love you!" I kiss her hard. "You're my perfect angel." Izabel shouts, "Mom! Dad!" Breaking that lovely moment. I love hearing someone call us that." I whisper kissing her again. "Me too. It's the best feeling in the world. We're a family and we've got each other. I'm so happy, Jase." "Me too, babe." We go out to see what's up. "We're hungry." Miranda smiles at me. "Let's go out to eat then." She says, squeezing my hand. I smile and squeeze hers back. "Yeah. But get your coats on. It's getting cold." I love being a dad. I help Asher get his coat on while the girls race to the truck. My little three year old struggles to get in so I scoop him up and put him in his car seat. "Daddy!" He shouts, making me smile. "I love you son." I say, hugging him.
