A/N: Thanks for the reviews, you guys! I asked for 5 and I got 8!!! That made my day! Okay, well here's the next chapter! It's a big one!

1 month later—November '09, 8 months along.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. We're having a huge gathering at my dad's house. All our family from Tennessee (including Luann, unfortunately) is in town. Jackson's here too, but he has only muttered one word in my presence: Hey.

He is still mad at me obviously. Maybe a nice dinner with our extremely unconventional family will get him to forgive me.

The gathering has begun. One of the first ones there, besides me, Jake, and Jackson, was my Aunt Dolly.

"Miley! How are you doing?" she exclaimed, hugging me.

"I'm doing pretty well. How about you?"

"I'm fine. Now can I meet the boy who turned my niece into a human beach ball?"

"Thanks a lot, Aunt Dolly. Yeah, he's right over there. Jake, come here." He obeyed, knowing better than to refuse to me. "Jake, this is my Aunt Dolly. Aunt Dolly, this is Jake Ryan."

"Nice to meet you, uh, Aunt Dolly," Jake said awkwardly.

"And it's a pleasure to meet you as well! You know, I loved you as that Zombie Slayer!" Aunt Dolly exclaimed before doing an impression of his famous line.

"Please, Aunt Dolly, don't feed his ego!" I smiled.

"So, Miley, do you guys know what you are having?"

"We're gonna have a girl and we're going to name her Riley Daniella Ryan," I said.

"Riley Ryan; I like that. When is she due?"

"In about a month. Just before Christmas, the 21st.

"Just in time to celebrate a first Christmas." Aunt Dolly smiled and I nodded. "Well, I'm going to go talk to your daddy."

"Okay," I said and she walked away.

"Whoa, there's some girl here who looks just like you but more Southern! Do you have a twin you didn't tell me about?" Jake said.

"Darn it! That's my cousin Luann! Hide me! She hates me. Last time she was here she nearly blew my Hannah secret and when we were six, she pushed me down a well!"

"Aw, if it isn't little Miss Miley! And she's tryna hide from me too!" Darn it! She found me!

"What do you want, Luann?" I asked.

"I just wanted to come say howdy to me dear cousin!"

"Suuure. I'm leaving," I said, grabbing Jake's hand and walking away. "Come one, Jake."

We were sitting at a huge plastic table my dad set up in the living room eating Thanksgiving dinner. Luann was staring at me with an evil-looking smirk and I was glaring at her.

Suddenly I felt Riley kick hard. It was kinda painful, but I just ignored it. She had been kicking very hard today! About five minutes later I felt it again, but it was more painful. "Ow," I said quietly.

Jake looked at me and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Riley just kicked really hard," I said, shaking it off.

"Dad, this green bean casserole is really—" All of the sudden I felt a shooting pain and I grabbed my stomach.

"Miles? You alright?"

I winced. "Yeah, yeah, I'm—OW!" I screamed.

"I think she's in labor!" my dad yelled. I looked to my left where Jake was and saw that he was practically hyperventilating.

"Dad, go start the car! I'll bring her out!" It was Jackson. I would've been thoroughly surprised if I wasn't in so much pain.

"This can't be happening! She's not due for a month! It's too early!'

"The baby's going to be fine." Jackson grabbed my arm and pulled me up from my chair. He led me out the door and toward the car. Jake was walking behind me slowly while breathing very quickly.

"Listen, Miles, I'm sorry for being such a jerk to you. I promise I'm over it now. I'm going to be an uncle!" Jackson said.

"Riley's going to be a lucky girl to have an uncle as sweet as you," I said through the pain.

"So it's a girl?" I nodded. We got to the car and he climbed into the back seat with me. Jake slowly approached the front passenger seat.

"I can't believe I'm going to be a grandpa," my dad said, driving away.

"I can't believe I'm going to be a mom," I said. The contraction had ended, so the pain had subsided for the time being.

When we arrived at the hospital, we went quickly to the desk.

"My sister's in labor," Jackson said.

"One moment please, Sir," the lady at the desk said.

"I don't have a moment! She's in labor now!"

"Her name?"

"Miley Stewart." The lady gave Jackson some papers to fill out, which he gave to my dad ad Jake and I went with the nurse to my room.

As the nurse wheeled me along, another contraction hit. Man, this is going to be a long night.
