Hey Guys-

Thanks for sticking with me even after that long update for the last chapter. This one is nice and long as a reward. You know what you have to do at the end though. Click the little button at the bottom left of your screen. You know you want to. And just be prepared it might take me a bit longer than a day for the next one…but hopefully not.

Finally after nearly 2 hours of being gone Kevin came back into the waiting room with a huge smile on his face.

"It's a boy."

Both Miley and Jake let out the breaths they had been holding at the sight of him.

Jake and Miley smiled. "Is he alright?" They nearly said together.

Kevin nodded and sobered slightly losing the smile he had been wearing. "They think his neck got tangled in the umbilical cord during the contractions she was having. He wasn't getting enough oxygen. That's what caused the heartbeat to weaken. But as soon as they got him out he started getting stronger"

"And Jenna?" Miley asked with small tears of happiness streaming down her cheek as she clutched Jake's shirt for comfort.

Kevin smiled and breathed in and out as if he had forgotten how to do this. "She's beautiful." "She's just came out from sedation a little while ago." "You should see how gorgeous she looks holding him." Kevin said nearly bursting with the happiness inside him.

"The doctor said that they both look good. They're going to keep Jenna and Ryan the next few days to run some tests and make sure there was no lingering damage….but it looks like they'll both be fine."

Miley and Jake were hugging each other tightly both with tears in their eyes. "Thank GOD!" Miley finally said breaking free of Jake and taking Kevin in her arms.

Jake looked at Kevin and smiled a real smile for the first time since they arrived. Kevin was hugging Miley as hard as he could and tears were coming down both of their faces.

Jake smirked feeling good to finally be smiling again. "So….Ryan is it?"

Kevin looked back at his friend smiling even bigger. "Yes. Ryan. You'll have to thank Jenna for that one. Apparently she wanted to name him after some hot shot movie star she had a crush on."

Jake smiled and gave Kevin his hand bringing him into a tight hug. "You're one lucky bastard you know that?" "Thank you." He whispered into his ear.

Kevin smiled knowingly. "Yeah I am. And you're welcome. But this means that you have to name your kid after me you know…it's only fair." He said jokingly.

Jake looked at him disgustedly. "Ok. Me and my pretend wife will get right on that."

Kevin just looked between Jake and Miley and smiled. Jake knew that he had seen how they had held each other when he came in and was thinking that maybe someday soon it would be the two of them in the hospital awaiting their first child. Before he could correct his assumptions Kevin piped up.

"I'm going to go check on my wife. They're moving her to a room soon so you guys will be able to see her too." Kevin said still smirking and walking out the door.

Miley and Jake stayed and ran errands for the new family most of the rest of the day. They had gone to Kevin's house to get clothes and some new things for the baby. They had called the producers and other important people at the studio letting them know what had happened.

After awhile Kevin and Jake disappeared in a ridiculously good mood. Jenna and Miley assumed they had gone to have a small celebration over Ryan's arrival.

An hour or so later large amounts of flowers started to pour in for her Jenna and the new member of the James family. Being the only one left in the room with Jenna and Ryan Miley took it upon herself to find space and arrange the various bouquets around the room. At first Miley was surprised that so many people had found out about the baby so quickly and had managed to send such beautiful flowers. Then Jenna started asking for the cards.

Jenna was in her bed with the baby next to her asleep when Miley heard the sound of someone trying to stifle fits of uncontrollable laughter. Miley looked over at Jenna and gave her a questioning look. Jenna simply handed her the small stack of cards that Miley had given to her a few minutes ago.

"Take a look at these." She asked Miley with a huge grin on her face.

After getting through the first dozen cards Miley realized what was so funny. Instead of being from distant family and friends all of the bouquets seemed to be from either Kevin or Jake. It appeared as if they had bought out every single flower from the shop on the first floor of the hospital and had them sent up to Jenna as a sort of competition. They also seemed to have run out of sweet things to say and by the 6th or 7th card there were wishes like "way to go sport" or Miley's personal favorite that said "happy secretary's day" in Kevin's unruly scrawl. Miley thought that the two escapees had certainly made the florists' day trying to outdo each other with their little game. Miley laughed. She guessed this is what people with far too much money on their hands did when they were ridiculously happy.

Miley continued to make her rounds picking out the cards from the bouquets of flowers seeing what the boys had in store for Jenna next when she noticed that the card from the beautiful bouquet of tiger lilies had her name on the card instead of Jenna's.

Miley blushed slightly as she opened the card. Inside it read.

"Miley- I can't thank you enough for sticking by me toady. I would have been so completely lost without you. You made even the most difficult times seem bearable and I will never be able to thank you enough for that. You amaze me. All my love, Jake."

As she read the card she couldn't help but think that she was now wearing a silly grin across her face but she didn't care. Even amidst all the chaos and excitement of being a godfather and seeing how happy his friends were Jake had taken the time to do something special for her. God she loved that about him. She placed the card in her pocket for safe keeping and continued her rounds helping Jenna.

Another hour later Jake and Kevin returned with real food for them to eat, a bottle of champagne that they had snuck in and even more toys for the baby. They put the food on the side table and Kevin immediately went and checked on his wife kissing her hand and smiling uncontrollably. Jake was also still in a fantastic mood. He came up behind Miley and put his arms around her and spun her around. "So…did you miss me?" He whispered flirtatiously in her ear.

Miley was smiling widely to herself. She had missed him. After spending so much time alone with Jake in his arms being by herself had seemed almost unbearable. She tilted her head back towards his and responded equally flirtatiously "Maybe."

She kept her head tilted backwards with Jake's arms around her waste. She was getting lost again in his eyes. In them she could see all the love, desire and even playfulness that had been there the day before but there was something else something different about those eyes. And she realized that the guardedness that had lingered yesterday had gone completely. He was hers. The honesty of that look made him even more attractive to Miley. She wanted him….and she wanted him completely. She tilted her head even further and started leaning towards him wanting nothing more than to claim him once and for all.

Kevin coughed suddenly and Miley nearly jumped. She felt the blood rushing to her face. She had forgotten that anyone else was even in the same building as her and Jake let alone the same room. Kevin and Jenna though hadn't seemed to notice her and Jake getting lost in each other in the back of the room. They only had eyes for each other at the moment and Miley was extremely grateful.

Something seemed to jog Jenna and Kevin away from their little world but they still weren't paying enough attention to notice the red faces and deep breathing of the other two now standing just slightly apart in the back of the room.

Jenna looked over at Miley and smiled good-naturedly. "Where's Mark? He should be here to celebrate with us!"

Mark. Miley thought. She hadn't spent a second thinking about him all day. She had been so worried about Jenna and the baby and then of course there had been Jake. She couldn't believe it was last night that she had come to his house crying about Mark. Her eyes darkened as she looked over to see Jake's reaction to his name.

Mark. Jake thought. The name was like a knife stabbing at his perfect happiness. He had somehow forgotten about the current boyfriend of the woman he loved. It was as if someone had knocked the wind right out of him or he had forgotten how to breathe again. There was no question in his mind how completely and utterly he had fallen for her again. But today things had been so different between them. He knew she had felt it too. This wasn't a one sided love…there was desire in her eyes that nearly set Jake on fire.

He didn't know how he could stand this anymore. Mark and Miley hadn't yet spoken since their fight and Jake didn't know what he'd do if they worked things out. He really couldn't breathe.

"You and Mark will have to come over soon to celebrate with us." Jenna said still glowing brightly with her baby boy in her arms oblivious to the level of panic she was causing for Jake or the darkened expression Miley now wore.

Without feeling Miley replied. "I'm sure he'd be thrilled."

Jake spoke up looking desperate, pale and ill. "I um…I think I'm going to go find us some napkins or something….you guys go ahead and eat. I'll uh…be right back." He said softly to the room. He spared one last glance at Miley and left the room.

Miley watched him leave wanting nothing more than to run after him and tell him everything. How she loved him. How she desperately wanted to be with him and only him. How despite everything the last day and a half were the best days of her life because she had been with him. But she didn't. She felt too guilty to move. She had let herself fall completely and utterly head over heals in love with someone else without even speaking to Mark about their situation. She knew in her heart that they were over but even Mark deserved to know it before she threw herself into the arms of someone else. She sucked in a breath and decided that she would not wait a second longer than necessary to end it with Mark. As soon as she got back she would find him and talk to him. It was the only thing to do she thought as she looked back at the door that Jake had escaped from ….and she would do it ….for all their sakes.

Kevin found Jake an hour later leaning on his elbows on the wall of the hospital roof.

"You snuck out of there pretty quickly." Came Kevin's voice across the cool spring night air.

"How'd you find me?" Jake asked evenly not taking his eyes off the point in space that he had been concentrating on.

Kevin smirked. "Well luckily for me all I have to ask is 'has anyone seen a movie star recently'…and they pretty much tell me exactly where you've gone."

Jake gave a small smile and looked down at his hands on the railing. "I'm really sorry there Kev. I really didn't mean to spoil the party in there I just all of a sudden needed air….LOTS of air." Jake said seriously still staring out into the crisp night air.

Kevin shrugged it off and made his way next to Jake. "Mark huh?"

Jake shook his head pretending like it hadn't bothered him. "Nah …I mean at first I was jealous of you and Jenna looking so happy with your new family." He said honestly. Then smirking he added. "And THEN I was jealous of Mark and Miley."

Kevin patted Jake on the back. "Yeah well today has been one of those emotional rollercoaster days…I'm sure she'll come around." He said honestly trying to be as supportive as possible.

"And as for me and Jenna you just happened to catch us on one of those unbelievably good days…you don't get to see the times that Jenna and I are at each others throats or wondering where we'll spend the next year of our lives...or what happens when she changes the football game to some home decorating show. I swear to GOD I will never understand how THAT could be better than football!" Kevin added getting a little overexcited and off-track.

Jake laughed and then shook his head his eyes getting darker with a twinge of regret. "I just…." He started turning towards Kevin trying to explain how he was feeling. "I just keep falling for her…and each time it feels like I'm falling harder than ever before…and everyday she's still with Mark its like I get further and further from ever begin able to have what you guys have." Jake said honestly looking at Kevin.

"I mean what am I going to do if she doesn't end it with Mark…what if they end up together forever? I mean is that it? Have I missed my chance at having a family?" Jake said almost desperately. Kevin could tell this was all Jake had been able to think about since he had left the room.

He smirked at Jake. "You do know you're not THAT repulsive right? I mean if you really WORKED hard at it some other girl MIGHT just let you take her on a date. I mean I know how hard it is for movie stars in general to get dates but I think you could break that taboo." Kevin said trying to raise his friend's spirits.

Jake couldn't even find it in himself to laugh at Kevin's attempt at humor. He remained still and shook his head sadly looking out at the night sky around them. "There is no other girl."

Kevin who had seen the looks between Jake and Miley knew that for Jake he was telling the absolute truth. Kevin had no other answer or witty comebacks. He could only hope that Miley's feelings for Jake were as strong as he thought. He had been betting since the very beginning that the two of them wouldn't be able to keep themselves away from each other for a full 6 months while working so closely together. He had placed Jake's heart and happiness on the line and he hoped for all their sakes that for once in his life he would be proven right.

Kevin placed his arm around his friends shoulder and the two of them just sat there in silence thinking about what the future might hold for each of them.
