As the brown haired girl drove into the driveway of her parent's house in her black Prius, she smiled excited to be home while looking in the back at her sleeping princess. Getting out of the car, she took a long breath in taking in the sweet smell of the trees and horse ranch that she grew up on. The house was large and white, the typical wealthy Tennessee family ranch, the blacktop driveway was large and circular holding an angelic fountain in the front. Looking up, her smile grew as she saw the orchard trees and a clear blue sky with clouds that she used to lie and look at for hours. Hearing a whiny from the pasture that bordered the driveway and went for acres and acres behind the house, she saw a white Appalachian beauty looking at her, one of seven horses, but her favorite horse, her horse.

"Hey there Blue Jeans," she said through her country accent, though it had dulled over the years living in the city, it still rang as clear as day, "you missed me too, huh?"

She laughed before getting back into her car and driving to the front of the house and parking the car in her old spot in the garage that fit seven cars, though it no longer needed to because all of the children except one had moved out. Opening the trunk, she picked up two matching pink suitcases and two green and white duffle bags before brining them into the entrance hall of the house from the garage. Walking back out to the car, she grabbed her guitar from the back with her purse and setting them on the wooden floor of the foyer, she jogged back to the car and shut the trunk. Next, she opened the back seat door and quietly unbuckled her sleeping daughter from her car seat. Picking her up, the twenty-four year old rested her daughter's brown curly head on her shoulder before grabbing Pepper, the well-loved small gray stuffed bunny that her daughter couldn't sleep without.

Going into the house, she laid the sleeping three year old on the black leather couch in the living room and brought their stuff up to her old room passing old pictures in the hallway. Entering her room, she let out a small giggle when she realized that nothing had changed, it was exactly the way she had left it when she left the last time she was here, four years ago. Seeing the picture beside her bed, tears rushed to her eyes, but she refused to let them fall.

"Miley," she heard a familiar voice gasp at the door. Turning around, she smiled at her older brother before running over and hugging him tightly. She closed her baby blue eyes never wanting to let go, she felt safe in the embrace of Joe's strong arms.

"Joe," she laughed kissing his cheek, "how are you?"

He nodded still surprised to see me, "great, how are you?"

"Happy to be home," she replied looking back at the picture, "it's been a while."

She walked back over to the photo of her, Joe, Kevin, Nick, and her parents and smiled weakly, "I missed you guys so much," she cried letting the tears run down her rosy cheeks.

"I saw Sophie sleeping on the couch," Joe smiled sitting on the large king sized bed, "she looks so much like you, Miles, it's crazy," he chuckled rubbing her back comforting her as she rested her head on his chest, "I came to get some decorations for the reception," he muttered looking down at the floor awkwardly, "we're all decorating today."

She nodded feeling her stomach twist into a knot, right, one of the main reasons she was home, she thought, the wedding. "How is he," she questioned in a hushed tone. Nick was getting married and the girl wasn't her. In fact, Miley had never met the girl, and she really didn't want to because she knew she'd never approve of her and Nick, it wasn't her.

"He's good," Joe replied awkwardly, the elephant in the room was growing bigger and bigger, "he really misses you though. He doesn't say it, but I know he does, Miles, if that helps, he'll be happy that you're here."

"I didn't come for him," she informed Joe, even though she didn't know if that was the truth or not. She just knew that she needed to go to this wedding, even if she didn't want to. The single-mother knew that she had to move on, "I came to see everyone, you know? To move on, make sure he's happy."

Joe nodded understanding his best friend and sister, "I get it, Miles," looking down at her, he stroked her hair, "are you going to tell him about Sophie?"

"What about Sophie, she's not his," she said sitting up and looking into Joe's eyes, the look on his face said that he didn't believe her, "she's not," she shook her head, "she's Logan's. He's coming later," she mentioned excitedly.

"Oh, really," Joe asked in disbelief, "Logan's coming here, to go to Joe's wedding," he smirked.

"Yeah," she nodded giggling, "look, I know Nick and Logan don't get along, but-"

"'Don't get along'," he laughed, "don't you think that's an understatement? They despise each other, you put them in the same room, one of them ends up in the hospital!"

Miley shook her head, "that's a bit drastic, don't you think?"

"Want me to give you an example? Four years ago."

Logan smirked at Nick before kissing Miley passionately while wrapping his arms around her waist, kissing him back, she draped her arms around his neck. As the blue eyed beauty pulled away a few moments later, she bit her lip trying to hide her blushing cheeks.

"I love you," Logan whispered kissing her cheek.

Miley smiled giggling, "I love you too."

"What the hell do you think you're doing in my house," Nick snapped walking over to Logan and Miley, "Miley, why would you bring him here," he asked trying to hide his jealousy.

"He's my boyfriend, Nick, you know that, we've been together for a year," she reminded him for what seemed like the millionth time that Christmas vacation.

Nick chuckled angrily, "I realize that, I'm not an idiot, like he is."

"Ooooo," Logan mocked clutching his heart, "that hurts," he rolled his big brown eyes, "look, fro bro, why don't you just walk away with all your bones in tact now, Lucas."

"No, Jackson, I'm not going to do that," he retorted pushing Logan into the wall, the two twenty years olds getting into a fight. Logan punched Nick, but he dodged it punching him in the gut making him fall to the ground before he kicked the crap out of him.

"Nick," Miley screeched, having everyone's attention by now, "STOP!"

"Yeah," Miley laughed, "I did spend the night in the hospital with my boyfriend who had a lot of internal bleeding, but come on, we're older now."

"That doesn't matter. They were high school rivals, I don't understand how you can go out with Nick for like, what? Six years and then move on to Logan."

Miley shrugged, "stuff happens," she replied, "now, you should probably go get the decorations before mom starts freaking out," she laughed.

"That's probably a good idea," he nodded, "see ya later," he spoke in a questionable voice.

"Of course."

Hearing movement downstairs, they both jogged out of the room and down the white carpeted spiral staircase to see Sophie sitting on the couch with her thumb in her mouth.

"Hey, my sleeping beauty," Miley teased walking over to the couch and kissing her daughter's cheek quickly.

Sophie's big brown eyes lit up as she saw her favorite uncle walk into the living room, "UNCA WOEY," she squealed excitedly running with her arms wide open to Joe.

"SOPHIE," he cheered embracing the little girl into a giant bear hug. It was incredible to him how much a little girl could influence his life. When Sophie was born, he became a better person so that he could be an excellent role model for his niece. He stopped clubbing every night and moved to New York City to help Miley raise Sophie, but last year, he moved back to Tennessee when his mom was diagnosed with cancer.

"Soph, Uncle Joey has to go somewhere and I want to show you around where I grew up so say 'bye bye'," Miley smiled reassuringly when Sophie's eyes glazed over with tears, "he'll be back later."

"I promise, I'll be back later Soph, okay?"

She nodded silently before kissing his cheek, "bye bye," she waved to Joe crawling into her mother's lap.

"Bye, princess," he smiled kissing her cheek before grabbing what he needed and leaving. Getting into his car, he sighed shaking his head, although he didn't know what was going to happen in the three days until the wedding, he knew it was going to be drama packed and someone or many were going to end up heartbroken.

A/N: Okay, new story? Basically, the story is about how Nick is getting married to another woman and Miley is there with her three year old daughter and she hsn't been home in four years. I realize that the who Lucas family thing could've been confusing for some people because it says that she was at her family's house and that Joe was her brother, but Nick's Joe's brother…no, there is no incest it this story! :) That will be explained, I promise. I've already started to write the next chapter and I decided that this one is going to have a review number goal. So, I will upload the next chapter when I get 7 reviews, shouldn't be that hard right? Thank you for reading this and I hope you all have a fantastic week!
