Chapter 1:
Miley walked into the house after a Hannah thing one night, ready to go into her room and relax when Jackson came out of the bathroom with a shocked look on his face.
"Uh, Miley, Hey, Lilly's over. She's looking for you", he said nervously.
"Jackson Rod Stewart, what did you do to my best friend?!"
"She might want to tell you that herself", he said with a nervous smile.
"Ugh, Jackson!"
"Miley, is that you?" it was Lilly calling her. "I need you." She sounded like she had been crying.
She followed the sobs to the bathroom Jackson had just come out of. Wait a minute…
"Lilly, can I come in?" she said when she got to the closed door.
"Yeah", her best friend said through sniffles.
She opened the door to Lilly sitting on the edge of the bathtub with about 40 crumpled up tissues surrounding her.
"Oh, Lilly…" she said as she noticed the key object in the room. A stick, but not just any kind of stick, the kind you pee on to figure out if you're… "Are you…pregnant?
Lilly burst into sobs and nodded.
"Oh, Lilly. Do you know who the father is?"
"Did you see the look on Jackson's face…" was Lilly's reply.
"You don't mean…" Miley came to a stunning realization, "You're having my brother's baby?! But you're only 17 and you guys aren't even dating, are you?! Oh my gosh, did he rape you?! I'm gonna…" by now she was hyperventilating.
"No, Miley, calm down. I'm the one who should be freaking right now, remember? Jackson didn't rape me, we were dating behind your back. I'm sorry, but we didn't think you'd approve. And yeah, I'm only seventeen, but I was planning to have kids with Jackson…someday.We used protection, but something must have…"
"I get it!" Miley said before she heard anything else she didn't want to know. "Jackson, get your ass in here!!!"
Slowly the door started to open, very slowly mind you, but at least he had enough courage to stand up to that many angry hormones in a room.
"Big Questions first. Are you keeping the baby?" Miley said, obviously the collected one of the group.
"YES!"
Okay it's unanimous. Jackson you're going to stick around, right?"
"Of course", he replied, "I love Lilly"
"I love you too" Lilly was looking into his eyes.
"Yeah, isn't that obvious. Now let's move on. How are we going to tell dad?"
"We could…" but Jackson was interrupted.
"Where is everybody?" Robby Ray's voice boomed through the house.
