The next morning Miley woke up to the front door closing. She heard someone coming in and noticed Nick wasn't with her. She got out of bed and went out to the kitchen. She saw Nick standing there with a few paper bags.
"Morning." Miley greeted.
"Morning." Nick went over and kissed her. "Did I wake you up?"
"No." Miley shook her head. "What did you buy?"
"Uh well I got some doughnuts and orange juice." Nick handed her a bag from the bakery.
"Aren't you having anything?" Miley questioned.
"I ate already." Nick responded.
"Oh.." Miley opened her bag. "What else did you get?" She gestured to the other bag he was carrying.
Nick handed Miley the bag with three pregnancy tests in it. "I don't want you to be mad."
"Thanks...why would I be mad?" Miley took the bag.
"I told Kevin last night." Nick replied.
"Why did you tell him?" Miley asked as she sat down.
"I was freaking out. I couldn't sleep last night and I didn't want to bother you." Nick explained.
"It's ok." Miley took a drink of her orange juice.
"Plus I figured since he's been through this already he might be able to help." Nick replied. He sat at the table with her.
"It's fine." Miley told Nick again.
"Good." Nick said. He wanted Miley to go take a test now but he didn't want to bring it up to her. "So what's going on today?"
"I think I'm going to do something with Lilly." Miley answered.
"Oh...yeah." Nick nodded.
"After.." Miley looked at the bag. "Maybe I should just get this over with."
"Good idea." Nick stood up quickly.
Miley stood up too and they went into the bathroom.

Kevin brought Carter to his parents' house. He had just dropped Kelsy and Melody off at the airport. He pulled up to his mom and dad's house and brought Carter inside. "Mom?" Kevin called.
Denise came out of the kitchen. "Aww my big boy is here!" She looked to Carter.
"Yeah I just thought I'd visit." Kevin grinned.
"Not you." Denise joked.
"I know." Kevin laughed and handed Carter to his mom. "So how are things going here?"
"Good, how are things on your end?" Denise asked.
"Fine." Kevin responded.
"Has he had breakfast?" Denise questioned as she looked at Carter.
"Not yet, we just dropped the girls off at the airport." Kevin answered.
Denise nodded. She brought Carter in the kitchen and made him some baby cereal. Kevin looked at his cell phone, it was 10am. He wondered how Nick was doing.

"Does it help that I'm happy?" Nick asked Miley after she told him she was pregnant. All three tests were positive.
Miley wiped her eyes. She had been crying. "A lot.."
"I was up half the night thinking about it. We'll do great. I'm excited about being a dad." Nick smiled. "And you'll be an amazing mommy."
Miley smiled back. "So...now what?"
"I guess you'll have to make an appointment with your doctor." Nick replied.
"Right." Miley made an appointment quickly. "I got in for tomorrow morning at 11."
"Ok, so what do you want to do today?" Nick asked.
"We should go to the mall." Miley suggested.
"Ok, let's get ready then." Nick agreed.

Lilly was sitting in her old room. She hadn't come out yet. Her mom had called her down for lunch, but she didn't want to do anything. What Joe had said the night before was still going through her mind. Had she been the reason his life fell apart? The more she thought, the worse she felt. She went from being mad at Joe, to being mad at herself, and then back again.
Suddenly Lilly heard the doorbell ring. She stepped outside her room and went over by the stairs to see who it was. She saw Joe standing there talking to her mom.
"I think you should probably leave. I don't know if Lilly wants to see you." Heather told Joe.
"I just need to talk to her." Joe replied.
"I understand, but you'll have to wait." Heather responded.
"It's ok." Lilly interrupted. Both Heather and Joe looked at her and she stood there in the middle of the stairway. She suddenly felt self conscious about how she looked, she hadn't looked in the mirror at all yet. "Want to come upstairs and talk?" She asked Joe.
Joe nodded. He looked at Heather quickly and stepped inside. Then he followed Lilly to her room. She shut the door when they were both in her room. They sat on opposite end of her bed. There was an awkward silence for a couple minutes and finally Joe spoke. "Lilly, I'm so sorry..."
"Was it true?" Lilly questioned quietly.
Joe hesitated before answering. "Yeah, but I don't blame you at all. I only blame myself.."
"I'm so tired of having all of this between us. I just wish things could be how they were before." Lilly told Joe.
"I feel the same way." Joe added. There was more silence. "Do you think we could work this out?"
"I want to." Lilly looked at Joe. "But, I don't ever want to see you the way I did last night again. You need to stop drinking."
"I can. I will." Joe replied quickly.
"Joe, I want to say...honestly, I don't think I can be friends with you." Lilly said slowly.
"Oh..ok." Joe looked at her, confused.
"I mean just friends." Lilly added. "We had to much.."
"I get it." Joe nodded. "So what does that mean?"
"Well we can't just jump right back into being a couple." Lilly began.
Joe waited. "Why not?"
"I don't know..isn't it weird?" Lilly asked.
"I don't know." Joe scooted towards her. Neither of them said anything as he leaned in to kiss her. Slowly he pulled back after they kissed and he looked at her. "Was that weird?"
Lilly wanted to cry. A part of her felt so happy. He made her feel like she was back in high school again and they were still dating, like nothing had ever changed. She shook her head. "No.."
Joe pulled her into his arms and layed down on her bed with her. "I love you, Lilly." He whispered.
"I love you, too." Lilly replied.
