"We're home," Miley's voice ran throughout the house.

"Mommy!" a voice shrieked and the next thing she knew there were two small hands around her waist.

"Hey," she laughed, looking to Brandi who just walked in. "Were you good?"

Her older sister rolled her eyes. "Is she ever not good? Your child is practically perfect."

Miley kissed the tip of the Caitlin's nose. "Good."

"You promised to play with me. Don't forget," Caitlin reminded her Mum excited.

Laughing the teenager held out her hand. "Come on, let's go."

If there was one thing that Miley was grateful for, it was that her daughter did love her unconditionally. She felt guilty though. It seemed like she wasn't around enough. Sometimes, she wondered if Brandi would be a better mother. She was always there for her, and it was obvious Caitlin loved her. The only thing stopping that from happening was because Miley was selfish. She needed Caitlin for her support, and she couldn't give Caitlin up now, not after all they had both been through together.

Nick picked up his cell phone later that night, dialing his girlfriends number. Maybe she would pick up, maybe she wouldn't. Miley had a close family, so she hung out with her sisters a lot and when she did she refused to be interrupted. That meant no phone calls. He hesitated calling her, it had been so awkward on the walk to school today that he didn't really want to replay that. But he loved her, cheesy as it is, he missed her too.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Hey, Miley."

"Nick!" She squealed with delight.

A chuckle left Nick's mouth at her innocence. She never had to try to fool anyone, she was happy with her life. She was always in someway happy. It seemed like nothing could bring her down.

"How is my lovely girlfriend this fine night?"

She giggled. "Missing her wonderful boyfriend."

"Well," he scoffed. "word on the street is her boyfriend really misses her too."

"Am I still allowed to come over Friday?" Miley asked, wanting to triple check that it was okay with his parents but also really wanting to see him.

"Miley, I told you; My mom adores you. She's be disappointed if you didn't come over. Speaking of which, we all wanted to know if you could sleep over with me and my brothers..."

"I'll have to ask my Daddy," she knew he would say yes, but she couldn't stop the guilt of leaving Caitlin alone from overflowing her body. She had never done that before, and she already hated to see how much Caitlin missed her at school. Now she was leaving her in the night too. But she had to spend time with the other half of her life too, Nick.

"Y-Your dad?"

She laughed, "Yes, Nicholas. My Dad. Are you afraid of him?"

"Dad, I already got pregnant, what more can I do?" Miley begged.

Her dad sighed, "Miley, don't say that."

"Exactly! You should trust me not to have sex over there."

"Okay. You can go."

"But... Miles," Her mom faded, not giving her a chance to be happy. "You see, we have one more problem. On Friday, your Dad and Mr. Jonas will be at your house, then Mrs. Jonas is coming over here. She'll see Caitlin. What do you want me to say if she asks who's she is?"

"Tell them the truth," the daughter said as if it was obvious.

"Are you sure?"

"Mom, in the Ten commandments it's a sin to lie. If you don't even try to follow the basic rules then how are you going to try and follow the bible, the main little rules?"

"Okay..." her Mom sighed defeated. She knew that this wouldn't be a good thing for Mrs. Jonas to find out before her son, but she also knew that her little girl was right. She was strong in her faith and no one could ever deny that but sometimes, the faith in her daughter was what scared her. She had so much, with so much talent, that she was afraid she would go wrong. She made her mistakes, every teenager did, but Miley always learned from them, and tried not to do it again. Mistakes were rare for her now, and she was terrified that she could only go down from the point she was at.

"Miley, when are you going to tell Nick?" her father asked.

She shook her head. "I don't know."

"You're going to need to tell him, Miley," he lectured what she already knew.

"I know, Daddy. But I don't want to lose him."

"Caitlin is most of your life, Miley. You love her so much that it isn't fair for him not to know," Tish reminded.

"I know.... I'm just so scared," she whispered, her voice hardly audible in the abandoned kitchen. "I'm going to put Caitlin to bed. I'll go to sleep after that." She got up, giving each of her parents a kiss. "I love you guys."

"We love you too, Miley."

BLAH! haha, yea, it's short, it sucks, i know. the thing is, I need the drama in order to write XD so, next chapter Mrs. Jonas finds out.
