Sorry for taking so long. School is so busy right now, and I am just swamped. Thank you for all of the reviews that I got, and thanks for some really good ideas.

I'm going to take Billy Ray out of the story because this is a NILEY story and he isn't really needed.

The next morning, Miley woke up to the sound of rustling papers. She opened her eyes and looked over at the chair that sat in the corner of the room. She saw her mom looking over papers. Every now and then her mom would sign one. Miley smiled because she knew that this must mean that she was going home. She was so ready to get out of this sterile, white-walled place. Her mom looked over and when she saw that Miley was awake, she got up and walked over to her.

"Morning sweetie," Tish said.

"Morning mom," Miley said

"How are you feeling?" Tish asked.

"Really good," Miley said. "So, do I get to go home?" she asked eagerly.

Tish smiled and nodded her head.

"I was just signing your release papers," she said. "Dr. Leslie came in this morning and said that she would be in in about fifteen minutes with your supplies and your insulin pump. "

Miley nodded and got out of the hospital bed, went into the bathroom, and got dressed. When she came out, she asked, "Mom, will I still get to go on tour?"

Tish nodded. "Dr. Leslie said that this wouldn't stop you. You'll be fine. You just have to be careful. Dad won't be able to come because they couldn't cancel his shows," Tish said softly.

Miley nodded. She understood. She would have the rest of her family to help her get through this.

Just as she thought this, Dr. Leslie walked in Miley's room with a bag and a small box.

"Morning Miley, how are you?" Dr. Leslie asked.

"Really good. I am so ready to go home," Miley said.

Dr. Leslie laughed and said, "well, just let me explain this to you and show you how it works. This is your insulin pump." Dr. Leslie opened up the box and pulled out a small device. It was about as small as a cell phone, and had her initials on the back.

"Now, you wear this all the time. It goes on your side," she said. "It doesn't hurt. It's not like a shot, but the first few times you put it in, it will pinch a little."

She showed Miley how to add insulin to it, and she helped Miley put it on for the first time.

"Miley, this is already programmed for the amount of insulin that going to need in the next few days. It's normal right now, but once it gets regulated, you won't need as much. When you're on stage, you're probably going to need to set it lower than normal because you're going to be using so much energy and you don't want to get to low," Dr. Leslie said.

After getting all of her supplies together, Miley and her mom left the hospital. On the way home, Miley heard commercials on the radio for her upcoming tour with the Jonas Brothers. She heard a few listeners calling in and saying that they were really excited for the tour to come to their hometown. Miley got really excited, and was ready for the next rehearsal. Hopefully this would be the last time she would have to miss any rehearsals.

When Miley walked in the house, she saw a huge banner that was being held up by Brandi, Braison, and Noah. It read:

WELCOME HOME MILEY!

She ran in and hugged her siblings. She was really glad to be home, and throughout the night, she tried to forget all about the past few days in the horrible hospital. Whenever she thought about being there, she was reminded of the fact that she had type one diabetes. Of course, she was reminded of this every time she looked at her right hip and saw how the pump made her shirt stick out. She was determined not to get upset and cry. She was going to act like an adult in this situation, and she wasn't going to let it make her feel like a small child.

The family stayed up in the den and watched a movie like they had done about every week in the past. When everyone got tired, they went up to bed for a night of well deserved sleep.

2:30 a.m.

Miley woke up in a cold sweat. She sat up and felt extremely dizzy. She heard a faint beeping from somewhere in the dark room, but didn't know what it was. She reached over to her night stand and turned on the lamp. She looked down and saw her pump lighting up and she figured out that it was the thing that was beeping. She got up, ignoring the spinning, and made her way down to the kitchen. She looked in her bag of supplies that got left in the kitchen and found chocolate. She quickly unwrapped one and put it in her mouth. She could slowly start to feel the dizziness wearing off, and she soon felt better. She thought to herself, "I'm not going to be able to do this alone."

Please review and let me know what you think. As always, I would love to hear any ideas that you might have.

Thanks
