Alright here's the long awaited sequel to My Best Friend's Brother. Sorry it took so long but this story I wanted to plan out and have some of it written in advnace rather than go chapter by chapter like I did the other one. So here's chapter one. Hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I do not own Hannah Montana. I write this purely for my own enjoyment as well as the enjoyment of others.

Looking around this small cubicle of a room that had been her home the last couple of days, Lilly couldn't wait to leave this place. It was so stifling to be stuck in this little room, in this uncomfortable bed. The only light in her days were the times they allowed her to visit her son, RJ.

Just thinking about him made her smile. She could just look at him for hours on end. He was so cute and so tiny. Her heart swelled with love for her little boy. Who knew you could love someone so much.

Having to see him hooked up to all those tubes and monitors in the NICU day in and day out was killing her. At the same time she was grateful for those machines, since they were what was keeping him alive as his lungs were still to undeveloped to allow him to breath on his own. She couldn't wait to take him home and hold him in her arms.

"You ready babe?" Jackson asked, pulling Lilly out of her reverie. Today was going to be a hard day. It was the day she'd leave this hospital, leaving her baby behind. She'd spend as much time with him as possible of course, but it wasn't the same as being right down the hall from him.

She turned to him and forced a smile on her face. "Sure, I can't wait to sleep in my own bed again." What she didn't say, but was clearly written on her face for Jackson to see, was that she'd sleep on the hard floor if it kept her near her baby.

Walking over to his fiancé, Jackson took her in his arms, holding her close and started to slightly sway. "It'll be okay. We'll get to take him home just as soon as he's ready, I promise," he whispered in her ear.

The dam walls broke as Lilly allowed the tears to fall down in silent sobs. Clenching his shirt in her fist she cried into his chest, soaking his shirt. He just held her slowly stroking her hair, reveling in this tender moment between them. "It's okay baby, just let it out."

"I don't want to leave him here Jackson. I can't leave him here. I just can't!" Through broken sobs, Jackson could understand what Lilly was saying, but it was tearing him heart apart to see her like this. His beautiful, easy going Lilly wasn't in front of him anymore. She hadn't been that girl since they realized how easy it would be to lose RJ.

The doctors kept telling them that he was doing well and they had high hopes that he'd make it through this. At the same time, they kept telling them of things they were watching for. It seemed like they wanted to give you hope and then rip it back out with all the things that could go wrong. Jackson couldn't wait for the day he didn't have to deal with those doctors anymore.

"Before we leave we'll go up and see him, okay?" Holding her head between his hands he stared deeply into her eyes. "Then we'll come back first thing in the morning. It'll be like you were never gone."

Smiling through her tears, Lilly silently nodded her head in agreement. Both turned to head out the door. Grabbing her hand, Jackson held on to it tightly as they made the trek they both knew by heart. Scrubbing up they entered the sterile room.

Quickly moving through the room, they came to the incubator with an elaborate name plate claiming him as RJ Stewart. Miley had gone home and made it the moment she realized all the NICU babies had similar signs hooked to theirs. Surrounding his name were pictures of all the people that loved him. Lilly planned to hang it up in his room when they finally let him out of this place.

Reaching her hand in, she gently rubbed his sleeping form. "Mama's here RJ, and she loves you. You gotta get strong for me so I can take you home. You're aunt Miley can't wait to spoil you, and I'm sure your grandpa will too. When you're older I'm sure your Uncle Oliver will spend time with you too, he doesn't know what to do with a baby though. He's such a donut."

Noticing the tone change in her voice Jackson walked to her side, holding her close around the waist. "Mama's has to leave for a while, but she'll be back just as soon as she can. I'll be back first thing in the morning. I wish I could kiss you goodbye but I can't, yet. I promise I'll make it up to you. I love you baby boy."

Turning away from him, she held onto Jackson letting the tears pour once again. They stayed like that for what felt like an eternity. Noticing the nurses giving them the signal to leave, Jackson said a goodbye to his son and pulled Lilly with him out the door.

Not able to bear the silence between them Jackson turned on the radio. As he scrolled through channels he landed on one playing a Hannah song hoping it would help cheer Lilly up. Instead all he got were whimpers.

Pulling into the drive way, Jackson hurried out of the car and ran to Lilly's side. Once she was out of the car, he reached in and grabbed her stuff out of the back seat. Holding her close the two made their way towards the front door.

Stepping inside, they were greeted by a huge poster stating "Welcome Home." Underneath which stood four people very happy to see Lilly home. Miley reached over, giving her a giant hug followed by Robbie Ray, Aunt Dolly, and last Mamaw.

"Come on hun, sit down and relax. Your home now." Pulling Lilly over to the couch Mamaw made sure she did exactly that. While she didn't let it show she hadn't really been keen on Jackson's relationship with Lilly. She also was afraid of how this child would be raised. But now after hearing Lilly give the baby such a sentimental name and seeing the love shine in her eyes for her baby, she knew things would be okay.

Jackson watched the clock tick by ignoring most of the conversation going on around him. The women talked endlessly about everything they could think of. Most of it involving babies and how to and when too of certain things. Even his dad was able to give some insight into the matter of child care. While Jackson sat there feeling like an outsider, not having a clues as to what they were talking about.

He couldn't wait for it to end so they could all go their separate ways and head to bed. There was something he needed to do, but he wanted to do it in private. When he saw Lilly yawn he took it as his cue.

"I think it's time for Lilly and I to get to bed. After all we want to be at the hospital first thing in the morning."

Pleading goodnight to everyone Jackson led her up the stairs heading straight for his room. When Lilly realized this she stopped in her tracks. "Why are we going to your room?"

"Just come in and I'll explain." Taking her hand he led her into his room and sat her on the bed. Sitting down, he turned to look at her. "I talked to my dad while you were in the hospital. I told him I was absolutely in love with you and I would never do anything to hurt you. I mentioned that I had asked you to marry me and you said yes. You'd end up in this room after we were married anyway so why not now. That way we can turn your room into a room just fit for RJ. I just want to hold you at night and know you're there."

"Good thing since I can't do anything for a while anyway." She laughed at the look on the face. The honestly in his face proved he really meant what he said. She leaned over and gave him a light kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too, Lilly Truscott. Soon to be Lilly Stewart."

Smiling brightly "Lilly Stewart, I like the sound of that."

"And on that note, I have some unfinished business." Leaning over to the other side of the bed, he reached into a drawer on the night stand and pulled out a small velvet box. "Here is that ring I promised you, the second piece to the set."

He slid it on her finger next to the promise ring that sat there. They complimented each other well. She never wanted to take either of them off. They were a symbol of love from the man she loved. She gave him another kiss, this one more passionate. When things got a little too passionate she jumped up and went into the bathroom to get ready for bed. That night she slept peacefully, knowing everything was exactly as it should be.
