Joe parks the car onto the driveway and see's his mothers car parked in the garage, Miley plays with her fingers nervously as Joe gulps and looks at her "Are you ready?" He asks, Miley nods as tears brim her eyes once again as she chuckles and wipes them away "Gosh I wish I could stop crying" She jokes as Joe smiles and kisses her cheek, then opening the door and stepping out as Miley follows and intertwines his fingers with hers.
They walk in sync up to the front door and Joe jingles his keys and unlocks the door, hearing the sound of his mother cooking in the kitchen, Miley bites her lower lip and looks at Joe who winks at her supportively giving her a signal to say 'Everythings going to be fine'.
"What're you doing here? Your supposed to be in school" Denise says emerging from the kithcen with an apron covered in flour on, Joe looks at her and sighs "We need to talk to you" He gulps as Denise looks at him alert, he motions for the livingroom and she follows as they take a seat infront of Denise. "What do you need to talk about?" She asks, looking from Joe to Miley then back to Joe "Miley's..." He trails off not being able to find the right words or phrase to break it to her "Miley's" He gulps, looking at Denise "Miley's pregnant" He says, running his hands through his hair, it was now the moment of truth.
"What?" She yells causing Miley to wince "I'm sorry Mom, we where being careful and we don't know what happened" He lies, he couldn't tell her the truth, she nods "Are you both okay? When did you find out? Have you saw a doctor?" She asks, moving closer to them "We found out yesterday, we're scared and no but Joe said we could make an appointment once we told you and my parents" Miley gulps as Denise smiles at her and hugs her comfortingly "Everything is going to be okay, you are good kids and this could be although it's sudden, this could be magical" She smiles, kissing them on either of their cheeks as Miley holds Denise a little longer, loving her motherly support "Thanks Mom" Joe mumbles, winking at Miley who smiles, hopefully everything was going to be okay.
Another hour passes and Denise finally calms herself down as Miley and Joe realise it was now time to tell her parents. They say their goodbyes to Denise and set off a few blocks down and arrive at Miley's, they where both alot more nervous now, this was something more than just telling her parents, Miley's background was different to Joe's she didn't have the money to support everything and he knew something bad was going to come of it, he had an instinct.
Miley opens the front door and puts down her bag and hears a familiar sound, she walks into the livingroom to find her mother crying on the sofa, Miley looks at her and sits next to her startling Tish "Oh Miles, I didn't see you" She says, wiping her tears, Miley sits down and Joe follows "I need to talk to you" Miley and Tish say at the same time "You first" Miley says, her mother biting her lip "Me and your dad are getting divorced" Tish cries again, Joe looks at Miley who gulps holding her mother comfortingly, like she always did "It's going to be okay" She whispers, Tish shrugs "So what're you going to tell me?" She sniffles, Miley shakes her head "It's nothing" She whispers, closing her eyes still holding her mom.
