Chapter Two
Two Months Later
Miley drew in a deep breath as the curch doors swung open. Her arm was linked with her father's as she prepared to wak down the aisle. She touched her slight bump of a stomach for a confidence boost. As she slwoly glided down the aisle, she looked towad the front of the altar. There stood Lilly, looking beautiful in her pale purple maid of honor dress. She too was slightly showing, but not very noticeably unless you knew she was pregnant. Next to her stood Holly, (believe it or not) Luanne, and Miley's Aunt Dolly. She looked to her right and saw the best man, Oliver, then Jackson and James, and finally, Luanne's husband, Bobby, holding their son, Bobby Jr. Finally, I saw Jake.Their eyes locked and her heart skipped a beat.
Just looking at Jake helped ease Miley's mind. She knew everything would be alright. Before she knew it, she had reached the altar, said "I do" and Jake was now kissing her passionately. She heard Lilly and Oliver whoop in perfect unison. God, how could she be the only one that ever saw that? They pulled away and turned and walked down the aisle. They were finally Mr. and Mrs.Jake Ryan.
Lilly and Oliver followed closely behind the newlyweds. They themselves had had their beautiful ceremony just one week prior. She looped one arm with Oliver's and placed the other hand on her small, yet growing stomach. Oliver smiled as he watched her. Everytime she touched her stomach, a small shiver went up and down his spine to know that they had created this creature. They all climbed into the back of the limo. Halfway to the reception, Jackson, Holly, Bobby, and Luanna were gushing voer James and Bobby Jr., Jake and Miley were involved in a serious make-out session, and Robbie Ray was staring out the window trying to ignore his daughter and son-in-law. Oliver pulled Lilly onto his lap and kissed her gently on the cheek.
"What do you want?" he asked. "What do you mean?" Lilly responded. "Do you want a boy or a girl?" "Oh, I don't really care" she said as she nestled herself against Oliver's chest. "I just want a happy, healthy baby." Oliver looked down at her. "You want a girl, don't you?" "I don't know. I mean, I am a girl, so it would be nice. But, I would love a boy just as much." "I think we're gonna have a girl." "Why's that?" He smiled. "Because your beauty overshadows my good looks too much. So, you have too many beautiful genes, therefore, it'll be a girl." They two laughed as Oliver pulled her into a kiss. Before anyone knew it, they had arrived.
Six Months Later
Lilly and Miley sat on the couch at Lilly and Oliver's new house as they watched Pirates of the Carribean 7. They were now both extremely pregnant amd would soon be finishing up their senior year of high school. Things hadn't been easy on them. The first couple of months had been terrible, way worse than they expected. Amber and Ashley continually spread rumors about Miley and Lilly. The bigger the two girls got, the more rumors there were. They had been called every bad name you could think of. Sluts, whores, hos, but they put up with it. Day after day. But little did they know, today would be their worse day yet.
"OLIVER!" Lilly called from the couch. "Let's get a move on, we have to get to school!" Oliver raced down the stairs with his coat and backpack in hand. "You ready?" he asked as he helped Lilly up and Jake helped Miley. "We've been ready for an hour and a half" Miley spat. "This is why Lilly and I get up two hours early. So you two get your sleep while we get things ready. It's not easy you know." Lilly and Miley were on the verge of tears. 'Damn these hormones' they both thought. Jake and Oliver put their arms around a sobbing Lilly and Miley as they walked out to their cars.
They sat in silence as they drove. Miley and Jake's Mustang wasn't working so they piled in Lilly and Oliver's Jeep. Miley and Lilly sat in the back quietly discussing names while the boys listened to the radio. "What do you think of Liam?" Miley asked. "Ooohh, I love it. How about Rory for a girl or Aiden for a boy? Ooohh, what about Amira. Isn't that pretty? Or Natalie? Or even Trystan?" Lilly scribbled names down onto a sheet of paper. "I love the name Cassie for a girl." Miley wrote down her new name. "Alright," Lilly said loudly to get the guys' attention. "Oliver, do you like the names Amira Elizabeth Oken, Rory Lynn Oken, or Natalie Miley Oken for a girl?" Oliver thought for a moment. "I don't care much for Amira" he said. Lilly scriblled out the name. "Hmm. Rory Oken or Natalie Oken? I think I like Natalie." Lilly smiled. She was secretly hoping he would pick Natalie. "Okay, and for a boy we have, Aiden Andrew Oken, Trystan Jacob Oken, or Thomas Clayton Oken?" Again Oliver thought. "Don't really like Thomas. Too common. I think I like Trystan." Miley went next. "Jake, we have Cassandra Lillian Ryan, we'd call her Cassie, though, Olivia Ann Ryan, or Samantha Elizabeth Ryan?" "I like Cassandra. Cassie's a cute name. Boys?" "There's Liam Anthony Ryan, Connor Oliver Ryan, or Jacob Leslie Ryan Jr.?" "Definately Connor." Oliver turned to face him. "Leslie?" he asked. "Dude, it's my middle name." Miley leaned forward. "Technically, it's his first name. He just doesn't want anyone to know. Whoops!" Jake's face turned red as Lilly and Oliver laughed.
When they finally arrived at school, the four hurried through the hallway to get to their first class before the bell rang. Miley and Jake headed off to Spanish as Lilly and Oliver made their way to home ec. Both couples held hands as they walked, completely enjoying each other's company. Little did they know, it would all soon come to an end.
