Part Seven

The room was silent for a moment. Everyone seemed to be frozen. No one moved and no one spoke for what seemed like an eternity. Lilly bite her lip nervously.

"Okay…wait a second…let me get this straight…" Mikayla started, pointing from Miley to Nick, "You hooked up with him…"

"And you…" Kevin pointed from a paralyzed Joe to Lilly, "Did the nasty with her"

This comment earned a swift smack around the head from Mikayla. Kevin winced and rubbed his head looking down and mumbling his apologies.

"I can't believe you slept with my girlfriend!" Nick cried, pointing an accusing finger at Joe. "How could you do that to me!"

"Excuse me!" Joe's eyes widened with surprise before narrowing into little angry slits, "Ha! Please, if I remember correctly, you were only to happy to ditch Lilly and jump into bed with Miley!"" Joe snapped.

"What?! You know that not how it went down! And besides you wouldn't even have remembered that night if Lilly and Miley hadn't told us so don't you dare give me that!" Nick yelled, standing up.

"Well at least I was smashed at the time, so its not like I knew what was happening! Unlike someone who was completely frigging sober! AND slept with his GIRLFRIEND'S BEST FRIEND!" Joe snarled, he stood up and towered threatening over Nick his eyes challenging his younger brother to make a move. Nick clenched his teeth together and raised his fist threateningly.

"GUYS!" Mikayla snapped. She jumped his between the growing brawl, and put a restraining hand on both Joe and Nick's heaving chests. "Sit!" When the brothers continued to glare at each other, Mikayla frowned and raised her voice one more. "NOW! Before you do something you will regret" Nick and Joe sunk down in their seats, their defensive frames and glares never dropping. "There will be no fighting in my house! Especially from you too."

Nick and Joe grumbled apologies.

Lilly looked over at Miley, who was turning a soft shade of green from the nerves. Miley gulped, this is exactly what she wanted to avoid. She hated to be the cause of tearing a friendship of two brothers apart after a stilly, irresponsible mistake that they had make years ago.

"That still doesn't explain why you left, girls." Kevin muttered, rubbing his head, which still stung from Mikayla's harsh hit.

"Yeah, well besides the fact that you two had very…interesting nights" Mikayla joked; she winked at Miley and playfully nudges Lilly in the side. Kevin frowned, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Whoa! Back up!" Mikayla raised an eyebrow slightly. "You get to joke about what Joe and Nick are like in bed but when I say 'did the nasty' I get hit upside the head?! How fair is that!"

Mikayla shrugged and ignored her fiancé and turned back to the two girls.

"So, why did you really leave? Because I know it wasn't because of these losers." She gestured lazily to Nick and Joe.

Lilly bit her lip nervously, "Well, you see…"

It seemed that fate was on their side today because at that moment, Lilly's phone rang, and 'Gotta Be Somebody' by Nickelback blasted through the tiny speakers of her phone. Lilly reached inside her jean pocket and pulled out the black phone.

"Yola!" she said, answering it, "Oh, hey! Um yeah I'm Lilly…what…Are you serious!" Lilly chuckled and she gripped the phone tighter against her ear so it wouldn't fall. "Of course, you are absolutely right, that was so not cool of him" Lilly stopped laughing, and listened intently to the person on the other line. "Yes, yeah sure. We're on our way right now"

Lilly hung up the phone, her eyes twinkling with amusement, "Miles. We um gotta go…get them" Lilly hinted, she looked Miley straight in the eye to signal that by them, she meant the kids.

Miley understood immediately and she stood up alarmed, "What, why?! Are they hurt? In trouble?" She asked.

"No its nothing like that…. well actually it depends on your definition of trouble…"

"Lilly!" Miley stomped her foot. This was no time for Lilly's silly games.

Lilly sighed, "Okay, okay. They are fine. They're not in much trouble…well He is, She is fine." Lilly raised her arms in peace and Miley nodded understanding. She turned back to their friends with an apologetic look on her face.

"Guys, I'm sorry, but we've got to go pick up some…people…"

"Who? Do we know them?" Nick questioned. His face was still flushed from the revelation he'd slept with Miley while he was going out with Lilly.

"No… you don't know them. They are just some friends of ours" Lilly murmured, she avoided looked Nick directly in the eye.

"When can we meet them?" Joe grinned, "It's obvious they're here in Malibu." Lilly scrunched her eyebrows together. Joe seemed like he had gotten over the fact that he had slept with his brother's girlfriend!

Joe smiled slightly. He was still shocked from the little sharing session that had just occurred but shoved his feelings aside. It was better this way. When you let your emotions get involved, things get ugly.

Lilly bit her lip again, "Um…I don't think so... I mean… It's not really… a good idea…" she stuttered. She got up from her chair and extended her arm to help Miley up.

Miley grabbed her hand and pulled herself up in great hast. She could see that this was getting ugly, and fast. They had to get out before anyone found out abut Nicola and Adam. As Miley took a step towards the door, her foot knocked over her purse. Miley mumbled a string of profanities as all her belongings spilled over the floor.

"Here, let me," Kevin offered, he got down on his hands and knees and started collecting all Miley's things. He re-packed her bag with her Lip-gloss, mirror, makeup, ipod, a pack of peppermint gum, her cell phone and a few stray pieces of paper. He got up and handed the purse back to Miley.

"Thanks Kevin" Miley smiled.

Kevin shrugged. "It was no problem. Now you better go pick up your friends." Lily and Miley nodded and made their way to the front door. Lilly was reaching for the door handle when Joe suddenly shouted out from back in the living room.

"Miley! Wait!"

"What?" Miley turned back to see Joe running towards her with his arms flaying, her wallet in his hands.

"You forgot your walle—WOAH!" before he reached the door, Joe tripped on the rug and Miley's wallet went flying. It landed right in front of Kevin's feet.

Kevin bent down to pick up the wallet, which had opened on impact with the ground. Joe lifted himself off the ground, silently cursing himself, so he could apologize to Miley.

Kevin picked it up and was about to close it when he noticed a picture, poking out from inside of it. He carefully pulled the small picture out and glanced at it.

"Whoa, the two of you look like hell in this picture!" he commented, before he studied the picture even further. Miley and Lilly shared a scared look as they realized what picture he was looking at. Lilly was about to lunge forward to snatch the picture back but it was already too late, Kevin had figured it out.

Kevin's eyes widened to the size of saucers, "Oh my--"

"Kevin!" Lilly protested meekly. She mentally smacked Miley for keeping that picture of them in her wallet. "We can explain--"

"I---how--- I can't believe this!" Kevin whispered and he looked up at Lilly and Miley with searching eyes.

"Aww crap, I was hoping he wasn't smart enough to figure it out," Miley muttered, bitterly. Lilly smacked her head with her palm repeatedly.

"How could he not figure it out!? I can't believe you kept that picture! I mean could you be any more obvious!" Lilly hissed.

"Well I'm sorry! Sue me for wanting to remember that day! Besides how was I supposed to know this was going to happen!"

"WHAT is going on! What did you see Kevin?" Mikayla asked cried out. She was just as out of the loop and Nick and Kevin were.

"Lilly and Miley have…. they have children! They've got babies in this picture!" he cried, throwing the picture at Mikayla like it burnt his hand.

Miley snatched up the picture and her wallet from her friend's grasp. "We can explain! Just please, let us explain…" Miley's voice grew timid as she hung her head slightly.

Joe stumbled back and gripped the doorframe for support. Nick's eyes grew to be the size of watermelons; he looked both Miley and Lilly up and down for a moment, his mouth hanging open.

"Lilly…how could, is it—" Nick tried to speak but he couldn't find the right words. He turned to Miley, "Miley I…."

"Lilly did you…" Joe stuttered and the colour drained form his face.

Lilly slapped her forehead and sighed heavily, she glanced at Miley. Miley lifted her head and nodded slightly at Lilly. Miley bit her lip and Lilly gently shut the door.

They both sighed and Lilly leaned back against the door.

Lilly raised her hands in defeat, "Okay, okay. We couldn't hide this forever."

"We didn't leave because of what happened that night, we left because we found out we were pregnant." Miley admitted. She spoke so quietly that everyone had to strain to hear her.

"Oh my…" Mikayla whispered, she gasped and covered her mouth slightly. "So that's why you left."

Miley nodded weakly, "what was I supposed to do! I couldn't stay, I was having my best friend's boyfriends child."

Nick turned to Lilly, his eyes filled with hurt and anger and disbelief. "Lilly…how--" he paused and looked into her eyes, looking for answers.

"Nick, I'm so sorry. I didn't want it to happen this way…" Lilly sniffled, her eyes filled with tears.

Nick looked appalled. "Wait! Is it Joes?" He pointed a finger at Joe, his eyes flared with anger. Lilly whimpered and she wiped at the tears about to fall.

She nodded and struggled to spit out the words. "Yes…I'm so sorry Nick. I didn't want to hurt you like this."

Nick laughed bitterly, "Well too late for that Lilly! How could you! And with my own brother too! I loved you Lilly! How could you do that to me!" Lilly hung her head in shame. She knew that she had hurt Nick terribly. "And then to just leave like that! Gosh Lilly! Do you have any idea what that felt like! You left without even saying goodbye!" each word pierced Lilly's heart like a knife.

"I'm sorry Nick, I'm so, so sorry…" Lilly murmured, the tears spilled down her checks and she wiped at them furiously.

Miley's face hardened, she stepped forward and put a gentle hand on Lilly's shoulder. She glared at Nick. "This wasn't Lilly's fault. It was my idea to leave in the first place okay! So if your gonna get mad take it out on me, not her!"

Everyone looked taken back by Miley's outburst, and it was silent for a moment.

"Oh my gosh, how could this have happened! I have a fricken child!" Nick yelled, "And why would you run away! Without even telling me!"

Miley narrowed her eyes sharply. "Well I'm sorry. I didn't think that coming out and saying it would have been the best solution! I did what I thought was best!" Miley crossed her arms across her chest angrily.

"How in the hell is running away the best solution Miley!"

The yelling continued and Joe released his grip on the doorframe and turned to face Lilly. His face had turned as pale and Lilly's, "It's…Lilly are you sure its mine?"

Lilly twisted her head up and gazed at him. She sighed and gestured for Joe to come with her, "Joe I think we should talk in private."

Joe meekly followed Lilly out into the hall; while Mikayla and Kevin stood together, against the kitchen wall, ready to witness the erupting explosion between Nick and Miley. Neither of them had seen Nick act this way. He wasn't acting like himself and that scared them, who know what he would do in this state.
