I still don't own a single thing. OBVIOUSLY!

Joe's P.O.V.

Ever since Carter's birth I've been busy. GO FIGURE! I haven't had any time to spend with Miley or Carter because of my busy schedule. He's about 3 weeks old and I've only seen him twice. TWO TIMES! That includes the hospital! I've been miserable and even the slimy paparazzi can tell. They think that I've broken off a serious relationship and in a way they were right. If I keep this up, Miley and Carter aren't gonna appreciate if I'm always gone and leave me. Luckily today is my day to finally see them. I pulled up to Miley's driveway wearing sunglasses and a hat. Luckily, I wasn't being followed today. Still, I rushed into her house and called her name.

"Miley, you here?" my voice ecoed through her house. She came down the stairs fast but quietly and said, "Shh!"

"Wow not even a hello? That hurts!" I said playfully.

When she finally realized it was me, she jumped onto me as we kissed passionately.

"I've missed you too much!" she said as I put her down.

"I've missed you too! And Carter of course! Is he asleep?" I asked.

"Ya think?" she said with that cute southern twang in her voice. I smiled and followed her to the couch.

"Look babe I'm really sorry about everything...I know it must be hard on you but I'm giving up on music soon..." I stated as we sat down.

"What?! Joe you don't have to do that for me!" she yelled, but not too loud.

I sighed. "Miley I can't keep doing this to you and Carter! My brothers and I have agreed to split up the band and go our own ways...and for now I need to think of a more rational job."

"Like what? Joe your music, fame, fans, it's all your dream! Please don't give that up for us. You can do that and still be a dad like we origionally planned. I mean it sucks without you but you're so happy with what you do!"

I took a deep breath, preparing to share my current feelings. "Honestly Miles...I'm not so happy doing music anymore. Not now anyway. Every second I think about what I'm missing from Carter's life and how much time I'm wasting without you guys by my side. I love music, fans and fame, don't get my wrong, but I just need my new family now...we can get a small apartment and live there until we're ready to do whatever we want...what do you think?"

Tears were welled in her eyes and she tried her best to hold them back. "Joe I...I don't know what to say...I love that idea! But I hope you know that in a couple months I'm planning on going back to being Hannah Montana. Well like 6 but still. I just don't want you to give up your dream forever."

"I won't," I replied. "And we'll get to our future dreams later on...but for now all I want and need is you."

She smiled as we slowly leaned in and pressed our lips to one another. It was true, I really needed and wanted that magical kiss.

Miley's P.O.V

A couple days have gone by since Joe last came. It was true, once he leaves me I crave more of him. I also knew that deep down this was the only way. We could tell our fans someday but they just wouldn't understand if we told them now. I was sitting of the couch reading a magazine when a Hannah article caught my eye. The title was Hannah: Gone forever? I sighed as I kept on reading.

Although Miss Montana has been gone for months now, her fans are still wondering the real reasons why she left. Her reasons were that she was "stressed out and needed to take some time off with her family." Other sources claimed that she planned on attending online courses for high school so she can graduate early and get a head start on college. No one knew for sure where she was these past 7 months but just recently we've found an inside source that claims she knows where Hannah may be hiding. No name was given but the letter read, "I'm not too close with Hannah but we use to talk. If anything she probably went off to have a baby. People use to do that to their kids back in the 80's so it's not impossible. I could be wrong, but she sure looked like she had a bump when saying her goodbye speech." We will get more information on this person and Hannah's reasons for leaving next issue.

I threw the book in anger. How dare that girl assume I'm pregnant! Even though it was true, I wasn't showing that much during my goodbye speech! When I find out who did that I'm gonna kill her! I stormed up the stairs and into my bedroom to grab my phone. I then went out to my balcony and called the one person who would know what to say.

"Hello?"

"Lilly it's me," I sad angrily. "Did you see that Hannah article in Today's News?"

"Yeah! The nerve of that girl!" Lilly answered. "Do you have any idea who that could be?"

I grunted. "No idea. What should I do about this?"

"Nothing rash I hope." Lilly said. It's true, I've been known to do some pretty crazy things that get me in more trouble.

"I know what to do," I said with a devious voice.

"Oh brother. Well call me when that plan blows again!"

"Trust me it won't." I replied with a smile. "Talk to you later."

Lilly groaned right before I hung up my phone. I then dialed the number for Today's News with my other cell phone.

"Today's News how may we help you today?" a girl's voice said politely.

"Yes this is Hannah Montana. I read your article and-"

"H-H- Hannah Montana?!" she squealed.

I laughed. That never gets old. "Yes ma'am I was wondering if I may speak to your editor please."

"Certainly! Anything!" she said completely star stuck. A few moments later, I was on the phone with a familiar voice.

"Well if it isn't Miss Hannah Montana! I heard you got a copy of our magazine darling. You like it?"

"Alright Chris what's the big idea? All I want is some peace and you print an article about a girl who knows nothing about my life."

Chris chuckled. "I'm so sorry about that. Listen I'll tell you the source if you promise to do an interview with me. It'd get me alot of ratings and you'd get all your fans back. Sound like a plan?"

"Actually," I said contemplating for a moment. "I plan on going on live national T.V again. If you print a nice article about me after that, I want no part in your magazine anymore."

"OOOHH harsh," he replied. "Alright how about I just tell you and then you get a decent magazine article in the next issue?"

"Sounds like a deal Chris, we'll talk soon." I said before hanging up. What a sleez ball. I sighed and opened up my Hannah closet. Looking around made me feel even more at home than usual. I really missed her, but something had to be done. I closed and locked the closet as I prepared my speach for national T.V.

---------------------------------------

It's been three weeks since that call and no one in my family has the slightest clue about what I'm about to do. When I scheduled a live press conference, I pleaded for them not to annouce it and to tell the audiance and T.V. guide people that there would be a press conference with a surprise guest. That way, no one would find out. I put my Hannah trunk in the car and strapped in Carter. Today was gonna be far worse than the last time Hannah was on T.V. On top of that, I was prepared to lose all my fans forever.

Once I finally got to the place, I walked in from the back entrance with my son and all my belongings. I was taking deep breaths as I was getting ready for tonight. Hannah was on in exactly 46 minutes and I wasn't sure if I was making the right decision or not. Oh well, it's a little late for that.

--------------------

From behind the curtain, I could hear the anxiousness, the chatter, and the introduction before I would come out on stage. I was dressed in Hannah attire: the wig, the bright clothes, and even the makeup. Saying I was nervous was an understatement but I knew what I had to do. I took a few deep breaths as they gave me the cue to walk out. There were lots of cheer but mostly shock and confusion. Questions were blurted out left and right until someone told the people to calm down. I picked out a few familiar interviewers in the rows of seats, one being Chris from Today's News. He was one of the only ones who knew I was gonna be there. I flashed my brilliant smile and prepared myself.

"Hello everybody, I'm so glad you could all join me. Now one of the many questions on your mind is why am I here? And where did I go?"

There were nods as I continued, "Well I promise those will be answered before this ends...I hope. Now to start: Why am I here? Well I was anxious to get back to my fans, my music, and I felt like the world deserved to know why I really left."

This caused whisperes and murmurs all around.

I gulped. "Hah well I'm really nervous so bear with me." I announced. I closed my eyes as I formed the words in my head. Then I opened my eyes and began.

"Okay...well I know there's been many rumors going around about why I left and where I've gone off to. I can assure you that I've been right here in L.A this entire time. Of course none of you found me but I guess I'm just good at hiding?...Haha...."

It was getting tense in the room as the excitement grew, but I continued as always. "Um well anyway the reason I called you all hear today is simple. I feel like I owe you a true explanation. I promise not to sugar coat anything....So this time last year, I was pretty popular. Everywhere I went there was paparazzi following me. I had a ton of concerts, I was on tour, I literally had it all. That's when the stress began to build. My clothing line was out, two new CDs were released in 5 months, I was coming off a four month tour, and on top of that I went to a ton of award shows. It was basically hard being me. So I wanted to take a night off and just be myself. I can't say I regret that night but I did some pretty horrible things. So horrible that I've hid it this long just because I'm afraid I'll lose all my fans. I now know true fans will stick by me with this...so anyway I just wanted to tell you about that night. Kids should probably cover their ears. I was at this huge party where regular high schoolers were hanging out with celebrities. When I got there, the place reaked of alcohol and drugs and cigarettes. I knew I wasn't gonna do all that, so I went to say hi to some friends and whatnot. Then I got thirsty and all there was at the party was...you guessed it, alcohol. So yes, Miss Goody Two Shoes had a drink or two....or alot. I was just so caught up and...well anyway I was dancing when I found some more guy friends, we started dancing, one thing led to another and....well let's just say I ended up "sleeping over" with that guy....I can't release his name just yet but we forgot to...erm....something and...I...I-"

I choked up is what happened. I could see the audiance edging me on to continue but what really caught my eye was someone behind stage. I turned quickly to find someone who looked like...omg it looked like Joe's body guard! He was signaling me to go to him. So I nodded and turned to my audiance, "Excuse me for a second, I PROMISE I'll be back."

And with that I ran off the stage, leaving the audiance in a frenzy. They cut to commercial as I walked over to Big Rob.

"What's going on? Where's Joe?" I asked nervously.

"He's safe don't worry. He just wanted me to tell you that he's in this with you." Big Rob said professionally.

"Oh god, what does he mean by that?" I asked, sweating at the thought.

He picked up his cell that was ringing.

"Hello?" he said with a manly voice.

"Hannah 60 seconds until we're live," a stage crew member told me.

"Rob I gotta go, tell him not to do anything stupid like I do." I said before walking off the stage. Everyone's eyes were on me, which I'm not use to anymore. I gulped as the guys were counting down. It was finally back from commercial and I smiled.

"Sorry about that...it's just not easy to talk about." Everyone just gave me encouraging looks to go on. "Okay well thank you first of all for your patience and kindness. And thanks to my fans who were always there. I love you all so much. Umm so anyway....things happened and it was younger than I wanted to but....I....I..."

I was about to tell everyone when someone screamed, "IT'S THE JONAS BROTHERS!"

Everyone turned around and sure enough, all three of them were standing there with sunglasses on. The photographers totally forgot about me and ran to see the most popular boys in the world. I smiled. They knew I would regret this someday. Where would I be without those three brothers? I smiled widely at them as they waved, then began answering questions. I just stood on the stage and took a deep breath. I then noticed a little girl sitting in the front, just staring at me. I started walking over to her and I could hear her breathing beginning to hitch.

"Hey what's your name?" I said sweetly.

"My n-name's...J-jenny." she stuttered. She was so cute!

"Well Jenny if you come up on stage with me, I'll show you some backstage secrets. But if I show you, can you promise to only tell my fans and no one else?"

She nodded feverishly. I smiled and helped her climb on stage. I then led her to the backstage where I had my own private trailer.

"Come on in," I said, leading the way.

We got in and with all the glam, exciting stuff in there, she didn't even notice me going over to the crib and picking up Carter. She was oooing everything when I went up to her.

"Cute baby," she said shyly.

"Thank you...he's my son." I said slowly.

Her mouth dropped. "He's YOURS?!" she asked curiously. "But Hannah...your not married."

I chuckled. "It's complicated...but please don't tell ANYONE okay? Just strictly Hannah fans! If this gets out I'll be ruined."

I was almost in tears when the fan did the unexpected. She hugged my legs.

"It'll be okay Hannah. I can keep a secret."

I smiled and half hugged her back, my son still securely in my arms. When she let go she asked, "Can I hold him? What's his name?"

She sat on the couch and I followed. "His name is Carter Joseph."

"Montana?" she asked, cradling him carefully. I held his head just in case and replied, "No...no not Montana."

"Oh," she simply stated. She then looked down and cooed at Carter. I smiled widely and got up for a second to grab a bunch of things to give her. They had official Hannah stickers on them so you knew they were real. I also signed a few pictures of myself and grabbed my camera to take a picture with her and Carter. I placed everything in a bag when she wasn't looking and said, "Jenny d you mind if we take a few pictures?"

Her smile grew wider. "No! That'd be soo cool!"

So we took a few pictures and laughed. I then told her some of just us would go on my official fansite and she agreed. Then 10 minutes later, she had to leave.

"I have to go find my mommy. Bye, and thank you for everything. I promise never to tell a hater, ever! I love you," she said before hugging me.

"Aww I love you too sweetie." I said back.

"Bye Carter!" she whispered before heading out the door of the trailer with her bag of Hannah Goodies. I then smiled and closed it. Laying on the couch, I couldn't help but think of how my amazing prince rescuing me once again before falling into a pleasant sleep.

Was that long enough? I wanted it longer but it would be too dragged on. So what'd you think? Review please!! And sorry for typos, I wanted to get this up fast for you!
