So, it's 5 in the morning and I decided to upload this after I finished editing, I couldn't stop myself :)

"Why has Nick been avoiding me?" Miley asked her best friend as they sat on the football field before class started. There was a good amount of time they had so that's where they sat. It had been a month and a half since Miley broke to news to Cody about her being pregnant with Nick's child and since then Nick has been avoiding her. Whenever she would see him in school, he'd walk away quickly, making sure they wouldn't have to talk to each other. She had tried to call him, no answer and she didn't know what to do. Not even in class would he say anything to her...unless he had to and when he did, he didn't make the slightest bit of eye contact.

Vanessa, being Nick's sister and all knew why Nick was avoiding Miley but she couldn't tell Miley. Nick begged her not to, he needed time to himself, to think things through. He was confused but come on, how much time do you need?

Miley honestly had no idea why Nick was not speaking to her. They had been fine before she had that talk with Cody so what was the problem? She didn't know but she was desperate to find out. With every passing second, Miley grew more and more frustrated. She wasn't getting an answer from her own best friend. What was she supposed to do now?

"You know why he's been avoiding me, don't you?"

Still...nothing. Miley frowned, giving up. She now thought about her days in school. Her and Cody have gotten close again and Cody is still trying to forgive Miley but he's over the cheating and everything but he's still kinda hurt. They're really good friends though. Since it had been a month and a half Miley was now 4 months pregnant and was really showing. It was harder to hide that she was pregnant but she was sure a lot of people , anyone who did happen to know was off her back and didn't say anything. Most people were nice to her. Vanessa was still a cheerleader and so Vanessa friends had no choice but to be nice to Miley. So school wasn't that big of an issue for her, she didn't care about the other people anyway. What or more like who she did care about was Nick and why he was being distant.

The air around the two of them was chilling, it was petty early in the morning and it being near the end of December, also nearing Christmas, didn't help. Silence snuck up on the two engulfing them in complete and utterly no noise. The only sounds heard were the distant chattering of people inside the large high school and the sound of their breathing

Vanessa, finally getting over the no talking from herself, decided to speak up: "Miley, I'm sorry that I can't tell you. Nick made me promise not to," she said, turning to look at her friend.

Miley sighed. "It's fine I guess. I just hate not knowing why he hasn't talked to me for the past month and a half. It makes me think I've done something wrong." Her emotional side was coming out, her hormones taking over as her oceanic eyes welled up in tears. The dark haired friend pulled Miley into her arms, soothing her as much as she could by rubbing her back.

"No Miles, you haven't done nothing wrong."

Miley hadn't done anything wrong but there was definitely something that made Nick become so distant. Miley just wanted to know. She'd find out soon though.

After pulling away and calming down a bit, Miley opened her mouth to speak. "Ness, you know I'm telling Nick soon right?"

"How soon?"

"Um, Christmas day," she whispered quietly, staring her best friend in the eyes. "It's been too long. He may not be talking to me but I think it's the perfect day to tell him. And hopefully we can be friends but by the way he's acting we probably won't be," she sighed, looking away and down at her hands. She didn't wanna think about the possible scenarios of what could happen after she told Nick, she really didn't but she was, no matter how hard she tried to stay positive.

Vanessa never stopped rubbing Miley's tense back. She was happy Miley was gonna break the news to Nick soon. Although she knew why Nick was avoiding their friend, she had no idea how he was really feeling deep down. Nick had been keeping to himself, distancing himself from everyone around him. It hurt Vanessa to see both her best friend and her brother miserable and sad but there wasn't much she could do at all.

After a while of silence, Miley no longer expected a reply from Vanessa, she didn't need one anyway.

"What time is it?" asked Miley, quietly.

"Um," the dark haired girl paused to look at her watch. "About time to get to our first class," she informed Miley, looking at her for a response. Miley just nodded and got up, dusting herself off before wrapping her arms around her sweatshirt covered torso. She waited for Vanessa to do the same before they walked back inside the school together.

"Hey Sel!" Miley smiled brightly upon seeing her bestie when she walked into my first class moments before the bell rung.

She watched as Selena smiled just as big, running over to Miley from her desk, attacking her in a bear hug. Miley hugged back, smiling still as well then the teacher interrupted them.

"La clase es de partida, la Sra. Cyrus, la Sra. Gómez, siéntate!" the teacher ordered, giving the two friends a stern look. They quickly apologized as they returned to their respective desks at the back of the classroom. Miley ignored-or at least tried to- the following gazes of many people as she walked by. She quickly sat down on my chair next to Selena and payed as much attention to the teacher as she possibly could.

Miley felt a hand fall gently on her back as a soft voice followed it. "Miles, what's the matter?"

She looked away from the teacher and at Selena, shaking her head. "Nothing Selena," Miley lied. "I just have a lot on my mind," she told her after the look Selena gave her, knowing it was was more than 'nothing'. Nowadays, it was never nothing.

"Nick right?" the dark brunette smiled knew just about as much as Vanessa did, which was good cause Miley often needed another friend to talk to. All Miley did was nod. She wasn't in the mood for elaborating on her feelings or thoughts. And Selena knew better not to push the subject so she dropped it as they continued on with the boring class.

The day seemed to go on and on for the soon to be mother but eventually it did end-the school day at least- and Miley was beyond relieved. The awkward tension between her and Nick between and during their classes was almost unbearable but she had managed.

As always, Miley left the school, immediately searching for her friend's car, spotting it near the other end of the school, making her groan at the far distance. "What the hell Vanessa?" she mumbled to herself, rubbing her sore stomach unconsciously. Miley forced herself to begin walking towards Vanessa's car when she head a voice behind her.

"Miles! Stop, wait up!" they yelled. So Miley stopped and turned around.

"Oh hey Cody," she smiled, watching as her friend approached her.

Cody threw his hand over her shoulder, in a friendly way. "Hey, where you headed?" he asked, trying his best to keep his gaze on her face rather than her growing stomach. Though he was getting closer and closer to being fully over his ex, he couldn't deny the feeling of sadness when looking at her knowing she had cheated on him, gotten pregnant and liked someone else; it was hard. But he knew he had to get over it if he wanted to keep their friendship.

Miley looked away from Vanessa car and looked at Cody. "Oh um, all the way over there," she pointed over at her friend's car with a glare. "I don't feel like walking over there but whatever," she laughed lightly.

Cody glanced around a bit, seeing a certain Nick not to far away from them. "Oh, well, I'm just gonna go," he told her and left before she got the chance to say anything. Confused, Miley was but she shook it off and started her way over to the other side of the parking lot. She held her back as it started aching a bit and stopped walking to catch her breath.

"Ugh," she mumbled to herself. As she moved her focus from the sky, she caught eyes with the last person she'd expect to see but who she wanted to talk to so bad. Nick. Now they were far away from each other but when they locked eyes, they felt so much closer. Sadly though, Nick looked away immediately, rushing out of sight. Miley's lips fell downwards as she sighed. What did I expect? She thought to herself sadly before continuing her walk.

After a while, she reached Vanessa, knocking on the hood of the car in anger.

Looking up in surprise, Vanessa furrowed her eyebrows. "Huh?"

Miley rolled her eyes and proceeded to get in the passenger seat, not bothering to say anything to the confused dark haired girl. Deciding not to worry too much, Vanessa waited till Miley was situated in the car before starting up her car and leaving. She knew it wax mainly Miley's hormones that were making her as moody as she obviously was since she wasn't speaking to her. During the ride to wherever they were going, Vanessa found out from Miley how she was going to tell Nick about her having his baby which made Vanessa very happy.

Even though Miley would usually go to Vanessa house and spend time with her, avoiding Nick of course, today Miley felt she needed the time alone. Mainly the reason for that was to think through every bit of what she was going to say to Nick when Christmas day came. Although it was a couple of weeks away Miley was going to need a lot a prepping to do for herself to make sure she was emotionally ready.

After arriving at Miley's house, they said their goodbyes before Miley watched her friend drive away and out of her site. Sighing with after hand placed on her swollen stomach, Miley made her way up the steps of her house. She unlocked it then stepped in to see both her parents lounging in the living room to her left. Her relationship with her parents was nearly nonexistent. Ever since her and Nick stopped talking, she was becoming distant herself. She didn't really like talking to others. She kept to herself most of the time.

Her parents saw her enter the house but knew not to say anything. Miley was also really moody and got ticked off pretty easily. Miley decided to give them a small wave which she received back from the both of them before she headed up the stairs to her room. It wasn't the easiest task considering the weight of her stomach but she made it nonetheless. Carefully, she lied back down her bed, sighing in comfort and content and without realizing it, she was knocked out-sleeping of course-.

"So, you're really going to do it,?" asked Miley's best friend Vanessa as they spoke over the phone, addressing the fact that Miley was telling Nick.

"Yes Nessa so stop asking before I back out!"

Vanessa laughed, but stayed as quiet as possible. She was in her room while her family sat in the living room, waiting for her arrival. It was the day, it was Christmas and Miley was nervous as hell. Miley was planning on going over to the Jonas' house right after they was done opening presents and giving Nick his very own present. Of course, with the nerves she had she wanted to back out of the plan but she knew she had to tell Nick sooner rather than later, she was planning this thing for the past month.

"Are you still there?" There was silence over the line so Miley felt the need to ask.

"Yeah, but they're getting impatient so I gotta go. Come over in about an hour but call before you reach the house." Vanessa didn't wait for a response, she ended the call, slipped the cell in her pocket and went to join her family in the living room. Upon her entrance, her curious younger brother threw a question at her.

"Who was so important, that you had to keep us waiting?"

Vanessa smirked. "Miley." She knew she'd get a response out of her brother with that name and she did.

She watched closely as he jumped a little in his seat, obviously whist trying to keep a smile off his tired face. "Really?"

Shaking her head, Vanessa decided not to answer, wanting her little brother to be tortured. She took a seat on a recliner chair near the Christmas tree where her twin brother sat on the floor, staring at the tree with adoring eyes. For the next hour, the family of 5 exchanged presents on the nice day. The sun was getting higher and higher in the sky as time passed on and it began to brighten up outside. It was only around 8 o'clock when Vanessa received the phone call she had been waiting for for the past couple of minutes. She excused herself from the table where her family was stationed, eating breakfast.

She walked over to the front door, trying to be quiet since nobody knew someone was coming over. "Hey Miley," Vanessa smiled, opening the door wider for her pregnant friend. Miley slowly walked in but with not much difficulty. The brunette grinned a small but recognizable grin back at her friend, the nerves stopping her from smiling any wider. She stepped in the house with a box in hand, hearing the door shut behind her.

"I'm soo nervous." For the first since she got there, Miley uttered out.

Vanessa came into Miley's view since she was previously in back of her. "I bet you are," she laughed before becoming serious. "Are you ready?" she asked, glancing towards the kitchen where there was loud chatting as conversations dragged on. A reluctant nod came from Miley as she mentally prepared herself. She let herself be guided towards the dining room, where she'd finally see Nick after a week.

The talking in the dining room continued even when Vanessa and Miley entered the room, that is until the wood floor paneling creaked underneath the feet of the two. The room dropped silent as all the eyes from around the table fell on the pair of friends. Although there were 4 pairs of eyes focused on her, there was only one pair that caught her attention. Nick's.

His eyes bore into her's almost as if he were in shock, there was just a blank glare in his eyes. This made Miley pull the box in her arms closer to her chest as she forced herself to look away from his hypnotizing eyes. She desperately wanted someone to say something, anything, just something to ease the awkwardness that the room undoubtedly possessed.

"Um, Miley wanted to stop by and I thought it was good idea," Vanessa spoke up, looking at her family.

Denise smiled warmly. "It's fine Ness. Miley, you know you're welcome to stop by whenever you'd like." Denise spoke to Miley quite a lot; she was the school nurse and with Miley begin pregnant and all, she got to see a bit of her during the day. She was briefly aware that Miley was going to stop by and was very happy about that.

"Um, thanks."

For the next couple of minutes Miley, Vanessa and the rest of the people in the room, exchanged words, making Miley calm down. However, not once did Nick talk to her but also not once did his gaze leave her. Somewhere during the chatting, Miley felt a slight nudge in her side and she knew it was Vanessa signaling to her that she was obviously stalling and had to get if over with.

Miley reluctantly nodded and coughed slightly, looking over at Nick to catch him still staring at her. "Nick, can I uh, talk to you/" she questioned softly, her stomach bubbling like crazy.

"Sure."

They excused themselves from the table before leaving the room. Nick decided to lead them to his room so they could talk. Nobody knew this, but Nick had been anticipating this moment for some time. He had wanted to talk to Miley ever since they stopped talking. His mind was full of so many thoughts and unanswered questions, he needed the answers that only Miley could provide him with.

When they got to his room, he motioned for the brunette to take a seat on his bed, which she did slowly before he did the same thing. He watched as Miley looked down at her hands, well more like at the box in her hands. It was then that Nick noticed the poorly wrapped item. He wasn't sure why she had it but he figured it wasn't that important and he just wanted to get on with the talk that he was supposed to be having with her.

"So, what'd you wanna talk about?"

Miley sighed and sat the box behind her, knowing she wasn't gonna need it for some time. She thought about how to start the conversation. Might as well start with what I want to know. She looked up, meeting Nick's strong gaze, relaxing a bit.

"I want to know why you have been avoiding me for the past couple of months."

Miley was sad, Nick could hear it in her voice. How was he supposed to tell her the reason he wasn't speaking to her? He was so confused himself and didn't know what to do. So he turned the tables and threw a question at Miley, catching her completely off guard.

Nick began staring at Miley stomach. "Miley, you're pregnant, correct?"

"Yeah..." Obviously the answer to that question was yes, there was no way in hell she wasn't with the way her stomach was looking. The way Nick's head was positioned made it hard for Miley to look in his eyes but by his facial expression, Miley was sure she wasn't gonna like where the conversation was heading. She was nervous, her heart thumping hard in her chest, so hard she could hear it ringing in her eyes.

"Miley, who's the father? And I want the truth." Nick picked his head up and stared hard into Miley's eyes, demanding answer.

That question hit Miley like a ton of bricks. But she knew, she knew Nick knew the truth by the look in his eyes. The fact that he was aware ruined almost her whole purpose of coming to that house. It puzzled Miley on how Nick found out but she was too speechless to ask. But she did, she had to.

"H-how'd you find out?"

The curls on the top of Nick's head shook as he fell back on his bed, landing on his back as his hands flew to his hairs. He ran his fingers through the tangled hair, pulling it. Behind his straight face, he was confused as ever.

"I overheard you telling Cody I was the father Miley, how is that even possible! I've never slept with anyone before in my life!" he exclaimed, feeling his eyes well up in tears due to his lack of knowledge. Seeing Nick become so emotional made Miley just as emotional as her voice cracked while she tried to put together a sentence.

"But you have if I'm pregnant with your baby. At the party that Vanessa threw 4 months ago before school started, I was drunk and Vanessa told me to go to her room so I could sleep and not get into any trouble," she paused and noticed Nick close his eyes as he listened to Miley recall the events to that night. "I didn't realize where I was going and ended up in your room-"

"Stop," Nick said, not wanting to hear anymore. "How come I don't remember this happening?"

Miley looked away from where she was looking in front of her and looked at Nick who still had his eyes shut tightly. "I guess you were drunk too. The morning after, I left before anyone was up and put your clothes on you so you wouldn't figure out anything, I'm sorry." She wasn't completely sure why she was apologizing but she felt she needed to.

Nick let himself have a moment of silence, just thinking everything through. It was too much information to take in. For nearly 2 months, 24/7, he thought about how he heard Miley telling Cody that that he, himself, Nick, was the father of her baby. That whole entire time he had no reason to believe so and now hearing the words being said to his face from Miley herself was overwhelming. Was he really going to be a father...at 17?

"Are you going to say anything?" Miley croaked out, tears finally spilling down her heated cheeks.

"I-I just need some time alone."

Without a sound, Miley nodded dejectedly and rose up from the bed. She grabbed the present that she brought with her and sat it done on Nick's chest. "I got this for you." Her voice ached of sorrow, guilt and sadness as she said this before leaving the room.

The only one left in the room finally opened his eyes and stared down at the item on his chest. He slowly wrapped his fingers around the edges of it and sat it on his lap after he sat up against the head board of his bed. He unwrapped it and opened it nervously, wondering what Miley would have possible given him.

His eyes began to burn as they filled with tears. He gingerly picked up the item inside which turned out to be a card; a fathers day card. Hesitantly, he opened it and something fell out. He picked it up and stared at it with wide and adoring eyes. An ultrasound picture, that's what it was; a picture of his unborn baby. He forced himself to tear his gaze from it, picking up the card again. He saw on the inside, Miley's handwriting.

"Congrats, you're gonna be a daddy!"

Something in him told him to turn the picture over so he turned the ultrasound picture over as he heartbeat accelerated, seeing 3 more words. And those words ultimately set him off, I really messed things up with Miley.

It's a boy!
