Disclaimer: I do not own Hannah Montana, or this song by the Valli Girls, 'Always There In You'.

A/N: I like this song and thought it worked for the second chapter. It's a trilogy, and I hope to have the closing chapter up soon. Tell me what you think. PLEASE- if you haven't listened to the song before, you might want to, because it looks really sad in the lyrics, but it's not… so yeah, thanks for reading- and review please!! ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not a nurse. I know very little about delivering a baby into the world, so please do not get mad if some of the story does not fit what you may know about child birth. I tried my best, so please don't flame.

Baby girl, close your eyes.
You don't know the strength you have inside
If I could I'd shelter you from all the pain that we all must go through
But it's up to you

It had been 8 and a half months since Lilly found out she was pregnant (convenient for the story, eh?). Oliver had stuck to his word; he was helping her every step of the way. Lilly's parents had kicked her out, claiming that their daughter would never do such a thing. Oliver's mother, however, looked kindly onto Lilly and saw how Oliver was treating her. Lilly was sharing Oliver's room/sitting room, so it was a fair size. Oliver helped Lilly pick out baby blankets, cribs, toys and had even helped her with names.

"If it's a boy, I like Tanner," Lilly said. Every day it was changing.

"I like Tanner too," Oliver said, gently rubbing Lilly's inflated stomach.

"What if it's a girl?" Lilly asked. Oliver thought for a moment.

"You could name her Hannah," Oliver joked. Lilly laughed and Oliver pushed some hair out of Lilly's face.

"I like Charlotte or Elizabeth," Lilly said seriously. Oliver nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, they can both be shortened," Oliver said.

"Charlotte turns into Charlie, Lotti, Char, Cha-Cha…" Lilly said.

"And Elizabeth turns into Liz, Lizzy, Eliza, Beth, Liza…" Oliver said.

"But seriously, what if I have a boy?" Lilly asked.

"I don't know yet," Oliver said, "I'll think about it,"


The road is long – it twists and turns
But everything in life you live and learn
No one ever said that life was easy or that all in love is fair
But look inside your heart you'll find the answer waiting there

The next day, Oliver and Lilly went to the library. It was a quiet day of January. Oliver had the next month and a half off to help Lilly, and they were both doing independent studies. Miley was coming home from her European tour and they were going to meet up.

Lilly sat at the library table tapping her fingers while Oliver read through some baby name books for the millionth time. Lilly saw a quick flash of brown hair turning the corner.

"Oliver, she's here!" Lilly squealed quietly. Oliver looked up from his book quickly.

"Really? Where? I'll go look. Don't move, I'll get her," Oliver said, pushing Lilly gently back down into her chair. Oliver ran around the corner to find Miley.

"Miles!" he said, and ran up to her. He hugged her quickly. Miley began to speak, but Oliver silenced her.

"Talk once Lilly sees you," Oliver said. He pulled Miley back towards their table. Lilly shrieked and the librarian glared at her.

"MILEY!" she whisper-yelled. Miley grinned and leaned in to hug Lilly.

"WOW," Miley said, looking at Lilly's stomach. Lilly smiled.

"Yeah, I know," Lilly said, happily patting her stomach. She felt something move.

"Ouch," she commented, gently touching her stomach. Oliver's eyes shot up to Lilly's deep blues.

"What's wrong? Does anything hurt? Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, I think the baby was just kicking," she said a little uneasily. She forced the thought to the back of her head and focused on Miley.

"So, how was the tour or Mexico?" Lilly asked. The three had agreed on talking about Hannah's tour as a trip to Mexico so they could talk about it in public.

"It was awesome! So many nice people!" Miley said, winking. Lilly assumed that meant she'd tell more later.

Suddenly, Lilly felt a strong amount of pressure in her stomach.

"OUCH!" she cried, putting both hands on her stomach. Oliver grabbed his bag quickly.

"Okay, we're going to the hospital," he said.

"No, I'm fine, really, I'll just sit for a while," Lilly said. Oliver looked at her uneasily but decided that she knew best. The three friends talked for about half an hour. Lilly said she needed to use the bathroom.

"I'll go with you," Miley offered. Lilly sighed but let Miley come anyways. There was only one toilet so they waited for each other. After Lilly had finished washing her hands, she lent up against the wall waiting for Miley. All of a sudden she had a strange feeling and felt something run down her leg.

"Miley," Lilly said uneasily, "I think my water just broke,"


If you ever lose your way
You don't have to be afraid
Look inside to find a friend
Who'll be with you 'til the end
Many different roads to choose
Searching for the strength to make it through
But it was always there in you

Miley raced out of the stall, rinsed her hands and began to help Lilly.

"Are you okay? Does anything hurt? Are you sure? OLIVER!" Miley screamed. Oliver came running in, along with two librarians yelling at him.

"I don't know who you think you are, you little perv, but you do not wait outside the woman's restroom!!!" one of the librarians shouted.

"And you certainly do not go inside!!!" the other screamed.

"Oliver, Lilly's water just broke. We have to get to the hospital!" Miley yelled. The librarians continued to yell at Oliver. Oliver turned to them.

"My girlfriend's water just broke. We need to get to the hospital. Either help or leave!" he shouted. The two librarian's faces went pale.

"I'll call an ambulance," one said. The other's face went green and she left the bathroom. Lilly suddenly felt a huge amount of pain.

"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!" she screamed. The librarian looked up at her and Oliver held Lilly's hand.

"That's the first contraction," the librarian said. Oliver read her name tag, Gail, and made a mental note to thank this Gail lady.

After what seemed like years, and two contractions along, they heard the familiar sounds of a siren blaring in the distance.

"Everything's going to be alright, just come with us," one of the men in the blue jumpsuits said. The quickly loaded Lilly, Oliver and Miley into the back of the ambulance and drove off.


Hopes can fail and dreams can fade
Rain can fall down on your big parade
Maybe love will take your heart or break your heart
There are no guarantees
But love will always find you when you just believe

The doctors quickly put Lilly into a room in the delivery wing. Lilly had gone through several contractions since the first in the library, and they were getting closer to the last each time. The doctor frowned and led Miley out of the room to speak with her.

"The contractions are getting closer much faster than we expected, but it is a premature birth, so that's expected. This also means we won't have to induce the delivery, obviously," the doctor said. After a couple minutes of Miley and the doctor talking, a nurse came rushing out of the room.

"If we wait any longer it could be dangerous for the both of them. That baby wants and needs out now," the nurse said. The doctor nodded and Miley rushed to Lilly's said. Oliver mopped Lilly's brow and held her hand tightly as Lilly squeezed. The doctors and nurses got set up quickly and began to instruct Lilly.

"Okay, Lilly, on the count of three, I want you to push as hard as you can, okay?" the doctor said. Lilly nodded and Oliver just sat looking more worried every moment.

"One… two… three! Push, Lilly!" the doctor instructed. Lilly strained.

"Again, one, two, three!" the nurse said.

"I got a head, you're doing great," the doctor said. Lilly pushed again and they heard the joyous sound of a baby crying. The nurses rushed to clean the baby off and make sure it was alright.

"Congratulations, you've given birth to a healthy baby girl," the nurse said, handing Lilly her daughter. Lilly looked up at Oliver with tears in her eyes.

"I did it," she muttered softly, exhaling.


If you ever lose your way

But it was always there in you

Lilly looked at the wrapped bundle in her arms. Her daughter looked up at her with big blue and green-ish eyes. They had small flecks of… gold? Lilly couldn't believe that her daughter was so beautiful. She had big eyes, small hands and she was very curious, grabbing at Lilly's nose every once in a while. Oliver stared down at Lilly's daughter.

"What are you going to name her?" he asked Lilly quietly. Lilly thought for a moment.

"Charlotte Elizabeth Truscott," Lilly said. The baby looked up and seemed to smile at them both.

"I like it," Oliver said. A nurse walked in with some papers.

"Have you chosen a name yet?" she asked. Lilly looked up at Oliver, and then to her daughter.

"Yes. Charlotte Elizabeth Truscott," Lilly said happily. The nurse handed Oliver the forms, Oliver and Lilly signed them and the nurse was gone. As the nurse left, Charlotte fell into a deep sleep.


The strength you're longing to find
You know it's true
It was there all the time
If you stand stronger, work harder, reach for the sky
I know you will eventually fly

Due to Charlotte's somewhat premature birth, both Lilly and Charlotte had to stay in the hospital for two extra days. Miley had stuck by Lilly's side since they rushed to the hospital. Most of Lilly and Oliver's classmates had come to see the new baby.

"Awww, she's so adorable, she looks so much like you!" Sarah said softly. Lilly smiled. She had always liked Sarah. Jake came in after Sarah.

"She's beautiful," Jake said, looking at Lilly and smiling.

"Miley, Jake, I want to ask you something. Will you be Charlotte's godparents?" Lilly asked. Miley smiled and her eyes went watery.

"Of course," Miley said, hugging Lilly.

"If anything goes wrong, I want you to take care of her," Lilly said. Miley smiled and they chatted for a while. Eventually, the crowd dispersed and only Robbie Ray and Oliver were left.

"You know, I always knew you could do it. You'll be a great mother," Robbie Ray said. Lilly's eyes filled with tears.

"You don't know how much that means," she said, crying softly with joy.

"I just wish my parents could be here," Lilly said softly. Oliver wiped her eyes.

"Lilly…" he said.

"But they don't understand. It's not worth it. They don't deserve to meet their granddaughter," Lilly said. Oliver smiled slightly. Robbie Ray smiled.

"But there are some other parents here to see you," Robbie Ray said. Lilly had never been happier to see Mr. and Mrs. Oaken. Oliver seemed nervous.

"Hey mom, dad," he said. Mrs. Oaken rushed to Lilly's side.

"Are you alright dear?" she asked.

"I'm fine, Mrs. Oaken, but thank you for asking," Lilly said.

"Oh please, call me Laura," Mrs. Oaken said. Lilly smiled.

"Actually, you could call me mom," Mrs. Oaken said, with a twinkle in her eye. She looked at Oliver.

"Lilly," Oliver said. He pulled a small box out of his pocket. He got down on one knee.

"Lilly Truscott, will you marry me?" Oliver asked.


If you ever lose your way

It was always there
It was always there…in you.
