Chapter 17

Surprises Part 1

Miley woke up early the next morning. She didn't have a concert until later, but she was hungry, and wanted to check on her daughters. She was still thinking about what Tim had told her last night. She went to the twins' rooms, and found Oliver there feeding them. "Morning, Miley," said Oliver as he looked up and saw his wife.

"Morning Oliver. Did you sleep well?"

"Not really. You?"

"I wish. Tim visited last night after Elisabeth and Amanda stopped by."

"What did he say?"

"Can't tell you. I promised him, I wouldn't say a word."

"Okay, I understand. I just have a weird feeling, that I'm going to find out who my sister is soon."

"You'll find out soon. Why don't you go get some breakfast, and I'll take care of our daughters."

"Are you sure?"

"Posistive. Now go!" Oliver left the room.

"Your husband can be a little protective can't he," said Tim walking out from behind the cribs.

"You have no idea. When are we going to tell him the truth about his sister?"

"What and make him more mad than he already is?"

"Good point. But when?"

"Soon, Miley."

"How soon?"

"Tonight after the concert. I made sure his and Lily's siblings got backstage passes."

"Good. Boy are they going to be surprised."

"It won't be as crazy as when I told you that you were a triplet."

"That's rewarding. Let's just hope they take it well."
"So do I." Tim left.

"Who were you talking to," asked Oliver as he entered the room with two plates of food?

"No one. Why do you ask?"

"Just curious. Are you hiding something?"

"No, what makes you say that?"

"I can just tell."

"You know I won't tell you, right?"

"Right. Well, here is your breakfast. Scrambled eggs and bacon."

"Looks good. My complements to the chef."

"Why thank you," said Oliver.

"You cook?"

"Surprising yes."
"Since when?"

"I've been taking lessons from our chef Mario."

"I could never remember his name. Is he from Italy?"

"No, he is actually from Duluth, Minnesota."
"You're joking, right?"

"No, his parents are immigrants from Italy."

"Is that little girl with the long brown hair his daughter?"

"Yeah, that's Gabriella. You can call her Gabi."

"I'll remember that." She sat down and ate her breakfast. Afterward she changed her daughter's diapers and then took them out for a walk. She got the stroller out, and then went outside. She waved at her neighbors. About two blocks away, Miley noticed two people walking toward her. She thought to herself, "They look familiar." Then it dawned on her as the walked by.

"Amber and Ashley."

"Do we know you," asked Amber?

"Let me think about that. Yes. You picked on me through middle school and high school. Does the name Miley Stewart ring a bell?"

"Wow! You sure have changed," said Ashley. "Now that you're a mother of twins. What are their names dumb and dumber?"
"Oh. Siss," said Amber and Ashley as they did their finger thing.

"You two still do that?"

"We tried the kick the habit, but it didn't like work. So what are you doing in this neighborhood."

"I live down the street."

"As if. Only celeberties live on this street."

"Well, I inheireted the money from my grandparents. You'd be surprised who my neighbors are."

"Let me guess, two lame actors."

"I wouldn't call, Johnny Depp and Jamie Albert lame."

"No way. You are so lucky. Not." And the two of them walked away.

"They haven't changed a bit," said Miley to herself. Then she turned to her daughters, "You don't want to end up like them do you, girls?" There was no response. "Amber and Ashley...," the twins started crying. "We better go home." They headed back to the house. Miley found her husband in the front room. "You won't believe who I ran into outside."

"Who?"

"Amber and Ashley." The twins started crying. "Those two still do the finger thing." The twins stopped crying.

"You're kidding. I thought Amber and Ashley...," the twins started crying again. "Doing that finger thing." The twins stopped crying. Just then a little girl walked into the room. "Hey, Gabi."

"Hello, Mr. Oken," responded the girl.

"How many times do I have to tell you, call me Oliver."

"Hi, Gabi."

"Hi, Miley."

"Well, I'm going to take a nap," said Miley.

"No good," said Gabi. "Jonas just sent the sheets to the washer.

"Thank you. I think I'll sleep in one of the guest rooms."

"I'll join you. Gabi, could you be a good girl and take the twins to their room."

"Sure, Mr. Ok.., I mean Oliver." Before Miley and Oliver could get to the elevator, the doorbell rang. They answered it, and Lily was at the door.

"Hey, Lily, what's up?"

"What, can't an aunt see her nieces?"

"Okay, Gabi just took them up to their room. You won't believe who I saw today?"

"Who?"

"Amber and Ashley." The halls echoed with the twins crying. It lasted a few minutes.

"Does that happen often?"

"Only when someone mentions Amber and Ashley." The twins start crying again. It lasted a minute. "Let's refer to them as the evil twins."

"Okay. Do the evil twins still do the finger thing?"

"Actually, they do."

"You've got to be joking?"

"Nope." They sat down on one of the couches. They continued talking for another hour. During that time, the twins were quiet.

"Well, I better be heading home, Chris might get worried. Bye."

"See, ya." Lily left, and then Oliver turned to Miley, "Let's go take that nap." They both went up to one of the quest rooms and fell asleep.

When Miley woke up, it was 2 in the afternoon. The concert was at 5. She woke up quickly, ran through the shower and went into the Hannah closet. Wendy, Helen, and Rylie were already in there picking out outfits. "Hey, ready for the concert?"

"As we'll ever be," said Rylie. "I still cannot believe that you are Hannah."

"You haven't told anybody yet, have you?"

"Nope."

"Good." They changed without another word and then went out to the limo. The four of them got in and they drove off to the concert. Everyone was backstage waiting. "I think this is going to be a great concert."

"So do I," said Robbie. "So do I." A few minutes later, Hannah went out onstage to screaming fans. She started with the song "I Got Nerve." She then went through various songs, and asked for a request every so often. The concert lasted two hours. After she had an encore, she went back to her dressing room. As she walked through the door, she said, "I want to be alone for a few minutes. Dad, you know who I want to come in first."

"Yes, Hannah." Hannah walked into her room, and collapsed on the couch. Twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and Amanda and Elisabeth came in.

"Nice to see you two again. To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"We were given special backstage passes," said Amanda.

"Really? From whom?"

"They were delivered to our homes," said Elisabeth.

"So where is Jamie, Amanda?"

"She's sick. She wish she could be here."

"Tell her I send her my best wishes. Sit down, have something to eat."

"Okay," said Elisabeth. "I'm starving." All three of them helped themselves to some food, when Lily and Oliver walked in. "What are they doing here?"

"They are my friends. This is Lily and Oliver."

"We both met Lily," said Amanda. "Please to meet you Oliver."

"So why are we all in the same place," asked Elisabeth?

"That is a question you should be asking yourself, Elisabeth." Everyone turned to where the voice came from. Tim walked out of the darkness.

Elisabeth said, "You, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here on business."

"What kind of business," asked Amanda?

"Relative business. More importantly, Relative Secrets."

TO BE CONTINUED...

A/N. Please R&R. Here are the final questions of this story. What does Tim have to say? How will everyone react? Who gave Amanda and Elisabeth the passes? All this and more in the final chapter of Relative Secrets 2. The ending of the next chapter is not like the ending to Relative Secrets. It is a little more interesting. Should be posted in a few days. The last two words in this chapter Relative Secrets, are in there, so I could have the title spoken by someone. A lot of movies have someone say the title, or the subtitle.
