A/n: Chapter 7. Time to tell the parents!

Melanie walked into her house pulling Miley in with her. "Mom? I'm home."

Stephanie walked downstairs, not surprised that Melanie and Miley were there together but she decided to play dumb. "Melanie? I thought you'd be on the train to Washington right now."

Her daughter smiled. "I was stopped before it was too late." She said as she lifted up her and Miley's conjoined hands. This didn't surprise her mother. The way Miley ran out of there earlier proved to her that they were in love.

She watched as the two girls sit on the couch, cuddle up to each other. She heard Miley giggle as Melanie whispered something in her ear. They still needed to tell one more person. "Miley you need to tell your father about it."

Miley groaned against Melanie's neck at the sound of that. "Crap, I forgot. He might freak out when he hears."

Melanie kissed her head lovingly. "I'm sure it won't be that bad. You once told me he took Lilly being gay really well. You need to tell him and Jackson. I'll go with you, love."

Miley blushed slightly at what Melanie just called her and she just grabbed her hand and kissed it. "Thanks."

The taller brunette smiled and helped Miley off the couch. "I'll be back later mom." She said as she kissed her mother's cheek.

Stephanie smiled at her daughter's small show affection. "Alright. Good luck you two." Her smile widened as she saw them walk out with hands entwined again. I hope her father understands like I did.

Stewart residence:

Miley nervously opened the door to her house and pulled Melanie in. She looked around the house, wondering where her father and brother were at. "Daddy? Jackson? You home?"

Robby Ray walked downstairs, smiling as she saw her daughter and Melanie. "Hey bud, hi Mel." He said politely as he walked into the kitchen and started going through the fridge.

Miley grabbed Melanie's hand and squeezed it before they walked over to him. "Daddy? Melanie and I have something to tell you. It's really important."

Robby Ray turned to face her daughter, frowning in concern. "What is it Miles?" he asked as sat down in the chair near the couch as the girls sat on the couch.

Miley felt herself shake slightly in nervousness but felt more reassured having her love next to her as she took a deep breath. "Daddy, I love Melanie."

Robby Ray was silent before smiling. "I know. You love her as a sister and a friend." Miley sighed. This was going to be harder than she thought. "No daddy. We're in love with each other."

A silence filled the room as Robby Ray slowly digested what his daughter just said. "…Are you serious Miles?" he asked with a stoic face. Miley remained quiet as she held her head in shame.

Melanie decided to talk for her. "Mr. Stewart, I love your daughter and she loves me. All we want is for you to accept us. She makes me happy and I hope I make her happy. Isn't that what you want for your daughter?"

Robby Ray thought for awhile before his face broke out in a smile. He stood up and hugged his daughter. "Miley, I'm proud that you found someone one you can love, no matter what gender they are." Robby Ray looked at Melanie. "Come on Mel. You're part of this family now." He said as him and his daughter opened up their arms and embraced her.

Melanie smiled as she closed her eyes. Everything is going to be ok from now on.
