A/N: I wanted to thank you for all of the wonderful reviews for that story. Happy readings!
Ryan came home after the dinner with a smile on his face. He found exactly what he thought his family would be doing – well, except for Jackson. Ryan walked up the stairs and saw his step-brother sitting on his own bed in his room talking on the phone. Ryan walked by and waved. Jackson gave him a head nod and went back to listen to what his girlfriend, Evette, was saying. Ryan shook his head, laughing, knowing that if Evette would have her way, his family would get an additional family member. Don't get him wrong or anything. Evette is a really nice person. She was crazy, friendly, and loves to make people laugh. She was exactly right for his brother. That's all he meant when saying that if she had her way, she would make her way into the family. Ryan loved her because she was the perfect match for his brother in every single way. He laughed as he remembered that she and Jackson had the same tastes in clothes – a nice pair of jeans and a T-shirt. She would definitely make a good sister-in-law one of these days.
He, then, headed towards his room. On his way, he saw that his parents' bedroom door was opened. He popped his head in and smiled at them when he saw that they were watching his mom's favorite soap opera. Heather raised her head up from the position on Robby Ray's chest and motioned for her son to come in. "How was dinner, sweetie?" she asked. Ryan smiled and nodded his head. Robby Ray and Heather jumped out of bed and gave their son a hug. Robby Ray tapped Ryan on the back and congratulated him. "I'm so proud of you, sweetheart!" she said, "I believe that Kadie will be a fine addition to our family." Heather couldn't stop crying but she knew that she had to because her son hasn't told his sisters what he was going to do tonight.
Ryan bade his parents a goodnight and walked towards his room. He was going to visit his little sisters' rooms but he noticed that both of their doors were closed. 'I guess that one guess is out,' he thought but he got a surprised when he opened his bedroom door. There on his bed were a brunette girl and a blond girl – both sleeping on the outside edge of the bed. He grabbed a change of clothes and walked to the bathroom to change his clothes. He walked back and climbed into the space that the girls had left him. He laid there and stared at the ceiling smiling. He didn't know how the girls are going to take the news that he was engaged.
The next morning came too early for the young man. He woke up to find both sisters sitting there staring at him and poking him in the ribs. He lazily stretched and covered his eyes with his pillow. Lilly laughed and made a grabbed for it before it could hit his head. Miley continued to poke in. He knew that he was out-numbered and opened his eyes again. "What?" he asked looking at the clock on his nightstand. His eyes almost popped out of his head. It was flashing eight in the morning. He groaned and tried to get out of bed. Miley pushed him back. He rubbed his chest where the brunette had just put pressure to push him back to his original position. 'Damn, that girl has a strong arm,' he thought to himself as he moved up a little bit to lean at the head of his bed. He looked at his sisters and smiled seeing the excited look on their faces. "Look, you guys, either go get me breakfast or just tell me why you woke me up at this hour?" he asked. "You don't even wake up at this hour. I thought you didn't even know the meaning of this hour."
"Don't think about changing the subject," Lilly said and made sure to trap her older brother on his bed. She sat on his right side while Miley sat on his left. They had boxed him in. "You're not going anywhere until you tell us where you went to last night."
"I went to a…," Ryan started to say but was cut off by the blond girl again, "I know that to a friend's means dressing up in jeans and a nice shirt. You had the whole tie and suit thing going on last night. So, I repeat, where were you last night?"
Ryan just laughed and tried to get up again but Miley held out an arm cutting off his pathway out of the bed. "You're not going anywhere, Truscott," she said. "Answer your little sister's question." She smiled knowing that she was annoying him. She knew that he hated when he was called his last name in that tone. He rolled his eyes and just said, "You'll find out at dinner tonight. Can I go now? I have to get ready to help Robby Ray around the house." The girls moved out of the way and he called over his shoulder as he walked out of his door, "Talk to you later, munchkins!" He laughed when he entered the hallway. He knew that his little sisters hated being called that. He had been calling them that since they were little and were munchkins in their elementary play.
Ryan finished up his morning routine and ran into Jackson on his way back to his room. "What's up, man?" he asked Jackson. Jackson just shook his head and smirked at the blond-haired man in front of him. "I heard. Congrats man!" he whispered excitedly. He knew that Ryan didn't tell the girls yet. He was going to have a fun time watching the girls squirm until tonight. "Dinner's at seven," he said and walked down the stairs. Ryan smiled and walked back into his room. He noticed that his sisters had already exited his room. He laid down for a moment and smiled reflecting on what had happened last night.
Meanwhile, Lilly and Miley sat on Miley's bed in her room. "I wonder what's going to happen tonight?" Miley asked the blond as she continued putting on her make-up. Lilly just shrugged her shoulders. She knew that when her brother wanted to keep a secret – he could keep a secret. She used to hate when he did that because she always wanted to know what her big brother was doing. But, as she got into junior high and high school, she loved him for that. She would tell him all of her darkest secrets and he wouldn't tell anyone anything. She knew that he would keep Miley's secret when the two families became one.
Lilly turned her attention back to her sister. Miley was putting on some lipstick this time. Lilly just shook her head and laid down on Miley's bed. She was more of the typical skater girl. Yes – she still skates occasionally. She had always dreamed of opening up her own skateboarding business that allowed people to come and skate their hearts out. But, for now, she settled to get her M.B.A. from her business school. But, anyways, Lilly wasn't the type of girl that liked to wear a lot of makeup. She was the girl that was always being found in jeans and a T-shirt and still looked decent to boys. Miley, on the other hand, was the total opposite of Lilly. She loved wearing makeup and wear dresses. She loves curling her hair and when she could, she would curl Lilly's.
"Do you think the boys will be here?" Miley asked, dreamily as Nick's face popped up in her mind. Lilly rolled her eyes. As much as she loves her boyfriend, she didn't know what she was going to do about the major secret that she had been keeping from him. "Miles," she said slowly. Miley turned around and faced her. "What?" Miley asked the blond on her bed.
"What are we going to do about the you-know-what?" Lilly asked her. Miley's face did a complete 180. She let out a huge sigh and looked down at her hands. "I know you really want to tell Joe about it, Lils," she said, "but, I just can't. I'm still not ready. I mean, Nick would hate me. I just got him back. I don't want to lose him. That's just not fair." She tried to fan her eyes because she didn't want to mess up her makeup.
"But, Miles," Lilly argued, "you know that eventually, this will come out. And, you know that I can't lie very well under pressure. Joe's going to see through it."
"Lils, don't worry about it. It will be okay. Just trust me," Miley said.
Lilly knew those words were going to come back and bite her in the butt. She's been in some of Miley's "Trust me" plans and they never worked out in their favor. But, she went along with the plan as she always does. She sadly nodded her head and went to her room to change into something more comfortable.
"Hey Lils?" Miley called from her room. Lilly popped her head back into the room. "What?" she asked Miley.
"I kind of told Ryan about you forgiving Josh," she said sheepishly.
Lilly's eyes went wide! "What?!" she said. Miley winced because Lilly had gone an octave above shrill. The next thing the girls knew was Ryan running into the room, huffing and puffing. He looked at the girls as if they had just lost their minds. He leaned his head out of the door and yelled downstairs, "Everything's fine. The girls were just being funny!" Then, he turned back to face the brunette and blond. "Now, what is really going on here?" he asked sternly. Lilly just glared at him. He understood what that look had meant. Miley told her that he knew about Josh. "So, what if she told me, baby girl?" he asked his little sister. "I don't want you to forgive the boy that almost put you in the coma."
"He didn't put me in the coma – it was his mom. You two are best friends. Besides, I know what I'm doing," she said and walked out of the room and towards her own. Ryan just stared at his sister as she closed her door to her room. He turned back to Miley. "What the hell does she mean by that?" he asked her. Miley just shrugged her shoulders while her eyes had opened wider than it was before. 'What did she mean by that?' she asked herself. Ryan looked at Lilly's door again and continued down the stairs. "Just to let you know, Mom and Robby Ray invited some guests over for the dinner," he said and winking as he ran out of the room before the brunette could asked the older blond what he meant by that.
A couple of hours later, the two girls walked down to the living room to find eleven familiar faces and one strange one. They looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders as they reached the bottom on the stairs. Miley and Lilly were wearing those goofy grins on their faces that matched their boyfriends. Lilly greeted everyone and went into Joe's hold. She leaned up and gave him a sweet kiss. Ryan and Jackson scrunched up their noses and one could hear "eeeewwww" then an "ouch!" from that part of the room. The two looked over in the direction of the noise and saw the two men standing there rubbing the back of their heads and the one unfamiliar girl and the familiar girl looking smugly at the men. "What's going on here?" Miley asked taking charge of the situation at hand. She didn't know who the stranger was and she wanted to know why she was here in Miley's living room and looking at her stepbrother like that.
