Chapter 11

Secrets

It was the day of the deadline. Hannah Montana walked into an all too familiar warehouse. However, she was followed by Tim and one other person. "Where are you Helen?"

"I'm right here. Now where is my family?"

"They're here, but first, I must see Christine."

"No problem." She stepped aside to reveal, Christine, tied and gagged.

"I'll be right with you Christine."

"Now where is my family?"

"They are right here. You can come out you two." With that, two people appeared in the doorway.

"You. I thought I told you to stay away Tim."

"Then, I would be neglecting my duties as a father wouldn't I?"

"You're my dad?"

"In the flesh."

"Then who is this," said Helen pointing at the other person.

"This is your twin brother Oliver."

"Finally my family," said Helen. The three of them embrace.

"I guess that makes us sister-in-laws," said Hannah.

"And why is that?"

"Because Oliver is my husband. I was wondering, can you keep a secret?"

"Sure, I don't see why not." With that, Hannah took off her wig to reveal Miley.

"Okay, this just got weirder."

"Wow! You didn't faint."

"Yeah, I've had enough surprises in my life to last me awhile."

"Can you let Christine go, now?"

"I don't see why not." She went over, and untied Christine. Christine got up and ran to her sister.

"Thank you, Helen."

"No thank you, Miley Stewart."

"How'd you know my name?"

"I was at your high school graduation."

'That would explain it. Let's go home." They started to leave when a voice behind them stopped them dead in their tracks.

"I wouldn't go if I were you," said a woman's voice. Everyone turned around to see who it was. Haley and Wendy walked out of the darkness.

"What do you two want? We've already got Christine," said Miley.

"Yeah, that may be true. However, you do not have the right sibling."

"And what do you mean by that," asked Tim?"

"Oliver is not Helen's sibling."

"Then who is?"

"Wendy is."

"Wait a second mom. If I am Helen's sister, then does that mean I was adopted."

"We better take a seat." Everyone sat on the floor of the warehouse. "It's my turn to reveal surprises. As to the answer of your question, Wendy, you were not adopted."

"Then how do you explain that I am Helen's sister?"

"That is simple. I am her mother."

"Wait a second," said Miley shocked. "If you're Helen's mother, that can only mean.."

"Yes, I am Julie Hampton. Haley is my middle name."

"So you are telling me that you're married to this guy over here?"

"Was married, we divorced shortly after Wendy was born. By that time, Helen had already been put up for adoption."

"Why was I put up for adoption?"

"I was still in high school, when I gave birth to you. I just felt I wasn't ready."

"That's understandable."

"Hold on a second," said Wendy. "I thought that Tim said that Julie Hampton had died due to complications during child-birth."

"She did, just not the right Julie Hampton."

"Julie," said Tim. "It's been a long time. How long have you known that I was your ex-husband?"

"Since you revealed that you were Jack two weeks ago."

"I thought you acted strangely when he said that," said Miley.

"Well, I realized that and just panicked. Will you forgive me Tim for not telling you the truth?"

"Yes, Julie." The two of them embrace.

"Let's go home," said Miley. "As a family." They then proceeded outside. They got into the limo and went back to the Stewart's house.

Back at the Stewart's house…

Robbie, Jackson, Chris, George and Lily are all waiting in the front room. Chris said, "I wonder what's taking mom so long, and Miley, Oliver and Tim?"

"I have no idea son." Just then, Miley, Tim, Oliver, Christine, Wendy, Haley and Helen walk up to the door, and they all go into the house.

Wendy said, "Everyone, I would like you to meet my sister, Helen Stockholm." Everyone who wasn't at the warehouse jaws dropped.

"I thought she was Oliver's sister."

"Nope," replied Haley. "She is Tim and my daughter. I'm Julie Hampton."

Everyone's jaw dropped again for the second time. "Welcome to the family, Helen," said Robbie.

"Thank you Robbie. And thank you mom and dad and everyone. Aren't you going to have me arrested for kidnapping Christine?"

"No," said Haley.

"Why not?"

"One you are family. Two, you didn't hurt Christine. In fact, you did a great job taking care of her."

"Thank you. Now if you don't mind, I need some rest. I spent a lot of time in that warehouse." Everyone laughed.
