A/N: Well here it is, the final chapter of Loving Miley. I hope you all enjoyed it.

Chapter 12

The last few days had been more than a little confusing to Lilly. When they had come to take her away from the school she was sure she was going to jail. But when the car stopped it wasn't in front of a police station, instead it was some hotel. She wasn't even sure what city they were in. She wasn't allowed to leave the room, and guards surrounded the room at all times.

After asking the question a hundred times she was finally told that she was simply being detained there until the Senator decided what to do with her, but that he would probably want to talk to her before that happened.

She was going stir-crazy just sitting in here without anything to do. The TV couldn't hold her attention for very long. She had never been one to watch TV anyway but living on campus she didn't even have one so she wasn't sure what any of the shows even were.

The bed was alright but not the most comfortable thing in the world. Although she was sure that the one she was sure to use in jail was going to be a lot worse. At least in jail she was fairly certain you were left alone in your cell from time to time. It was getting to be a little unnerving having people surrounded you constantly. The only time she got a little bit of privacy was when she went to the bathroom and even then someone was standing right outside the door. They allowed her to close it, but never lock it.

With the exception of the constant company it might almost be enjoyable having the break from reality if she wasn't left with only her thoughts. Almost every minute was spent going over the last the last nine months or so in her head. And every thought always came back to Miley.

She had loved Mikayla more than she thought she'd ever love anyone. That is until Miley came along. There was just something about the girl that drew her in the minute she stepped foot on campus. She wasn't someone Lilly would ever think she would fall for, but fall in love with her she did anyway.

She didn't regret for one moment what happened between them. There was so much between them that it was bound to happen, she just wished they could have handled it better than they had. She knew from the minute they kissed where it would lead and she should have stopped it until Miley turned eighteen. She didn't do that though and now here she sat.

She knew what they would all say about her now. That she was just another one of those teachers that takes advantage of her students and uses them for her own pleasure. There was no way she could ever convince them that, that wasn't the case. What happened between her and Miley was the real deal. Or she hoped Miley felt the same way. But now she may never know. She may never get to see her again for all she knew. Either way Miley would always have a piece of her heart no matter what happened.

It was almost twenty-fours later exactly from the time she was placed in this room that a man she hadn't seen before came through the door. She didn't pay him much attention thinking he was just another one of the guards taking over, but the way he dressed suggested differently.

Studying his face more closely, she was sure she knew who he was. The resemblance between them was pretty apparently, but maybe only to someone who knew those features so intimately.

Without speaking a word he made his way over to the small table by the window signally to her to sit down across from him. She followed him recognizing why he chose the table for them to sit rather than the couch. The table suggested professionalism and a neutral place to talk. It also made the other person slightly uncomfortable helping their feelings of being on edge.

He waited until they were both seated before he began. "Miss Truscott, surely by now you have figured out who I am." She didn't answer him knowing that Senator Stewart wasn't asking her a question, rather asserting that he had the power to do with her as he pleased. "My daughter seems to think that I should just let you go. That you have done nothing wrong. We both know that isn't entirely true, don't we?"

"Yes, sir," she answered quickly, casting her eyes downward in shame.

Leaning back in his chair, he studied her carefully letting out a sigh. "I've spoken to her and heard her side of how things happened. I guess what I'm really here for is to hear what you have to say."

Tilting her head back up she studied his features for a minute trying to figure out just what he was expecting from her. Unsure of what to say, she decided to speak straight from the heart. "Senator, I know what happened was partially my fault and take full blame for what happened. I honestly tried to keep my distance, but I just could. I fell in love with your daughter sir, and I'm not ashamed to admit that. I realize there was a better time and place for such a thing to happen, but I don't regret what happened. I'm truly sorry though."

Once Lilly was done speaking a deathly silence came over the room. Robby Ray held eye contact with the young teacher, trying to decipher the truth in her eyes, looking for what he daughter saw in the young woman. It only took him a minute to find the truth and honesty in her eyes and it made it so much harder to say what he had to say next. He knew it had to be done though.

"Alright, here's how things are going to work. I'm not going to press any charges or anything like that as long as you follow my conditions."

Lilly couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. She wasn't going to go to jail. She couldn't let herself get too excited though, not having heard the conditions just let. Instead she just nodded her head in agreement and waited for him to continue.

"First being that you resign from teaching, as I'm sure you've probably already decided to do." She nodded her head again, having already made that decision before even entering her aunt's office. "The second condition being no talking to the media. We'll do our best to keep it as quiet as possible but there are no guarantees."

That was easy enough, she wasn't too keen on talk to them anyway. She knew she'd just come out looking like the bad guy even if she did try to explain herself. They always had their way of twisting people's words.

"Now as for my last condition, I think it's best if you have no contact with my daughter right now." Lilly knew this was coming, but still it hurt to actually hear it said. Atleast if she was in jail there would be a reason not to see Miley. But to be free and not being able to see her would be unbearable. She would just have to do it though.

"I understand," she agreed quietly.

"Now my staff will take you home to your beach house, after that it will be up to you to decide what to do next. Even under the circumstances I do wish you the best."

He didn't even give her time to respond, instead standing up then and heading right out the door, leaving Lilly sitting there wondering just what was going to happen now.

Shortly after the door closed behind him, the team of guards around her began to pack everything up and get out of there. Within an hour she was in yet another government marked car, this time heading towards the beach that she once called home and would again.

The Senator wasn't lying, as soon as they saw her inside the house they were gone just as quickly leaving her there alone.

The last few days had seemed like a blur, or a really bad dream. It couldn't possibly be real right? Deep down she knew she was just trying not to deal with the reality of the situation by convincing herself it wasn't all real. She was grateful she was going to be spending who knows how long behind bars, but her mind couldn't help but wonder to a certain brunette.

Miley had come to mean so much to her and she didn't know if she'd ever get the chance to see the young girl again. It seemed unlikely now. She also had to accept the fact that it was possible that Miley didn't feel the same either. She knew in her heart she was more than a conquest to the teenager, but she wasn't sure if what Miley felt was love or not.

Heading towards the bedroom she crawled under the covers trying to remember the feeling of having Miley's arms around her here in this bed. Eyes growing heavy, she fell asleep sure she'd never feel that again.

Closing the gas tank on the car, Miley headed inside. Finding the snack aisle she found a small package of cookies that would hold her over for the rest of her journey. Grabbing a bottle of water as well she headed up to the cashier. "These and gas please."

While she waited for him to ring her up, her eyes happened to glance at the newspaper on the stand next to her. Smiling she picked it up seeing Lilly's face on the front page. The caption above it read "No Charges To Be Filed In Teacher Student Sex Scandal." Her dad had tried to keep the whole thing under wraps but somehow it got out anyway.

The whole thing had caused a bit of a stir, but calmed down almost immediately afterward once they realized there wasn't going to be any sort of trial. Sitting the paper down on the counter the guy rang it up with her other stuff before telling her the total. Handing him her credit card, she signed the receipt and headed back out to her Silver Bug. Slipping the newspaper into her backpack on the passenger seat, she started her car back up and took off.

The view of the beach running along the highway was beautiful this time of day. The sun was beginning to set leaving an orangish glow on everything around her. Putting the top down, she weaved her hand up and down through the air, remembering another time she'd done the same thing on this same road.

It had been almost a month since she'd last seen Lilly. When she had talked to her father that day, he had asked her to come home for the summer so that they could spend some time together and repair their damaged relationship. It wasn't really a request, more of an order. Jackson had hung around for a bit, but he was still more wary of their father and headed back to college after a week, leaving them alone to get to know each other again.

It was easier than they had both expected it to be. Once they sat down and really tried to talk things out everything seemed to be much better between them. Knowing their relationship was back on track, he had agreed it was time she started living her own life and let her go early with the understanding to keep in touch like a normal family.

Parking her small car along the road she headed down the steps toward the beach. She had intentionally parked a ways away so as not to blow the surprise that she was there. Walking down the row of houses until she found the one she wanted, car parked in the driveway letting her know the person she wanted to see was indeed home.

Knocking loudly on the door, she heard the shuffling of feet from inside making their way to the front door. The door slowly crept open to show the beautiful blonde inside.

Lilly could scarcely believe what she was seeing. It had been a month since she'd seen Miley and she had convinced herself she never would again, and yet there she stood and Lilly had to stop herself from fainting. "Mi…Miley?" she questioned disbelieving.

She wasn't given more time to say anything else as Miley's arms were quickly around her and she felt the taller woman's lips on her own just as quickly. She sighed in ecstasy, parting her lips in the process giving Miley access to her mouth. Their tongues began dueling for dominance and Miley's hands made their way down to her butt holding her tightly. Lilly couldn't believe this was happening, in the middle of her doorway for all the world to see at that.

As if Miley read her mind she began gently walking them both inside kicking the door closed behind her. It wasn't until Lilly felt the couch on the back of her legs did she allow reality to sink in, pulling away from Miley's mouth. "What are you doing here?"

"I would think that was obvious," Miley smirked, leaning back to kiss her again.

Holding her hand up to stop the persistent brunette, "What about what your dad said? That we shouldn't see each other?"

"He didn't mean forever, he just thought it best if we stayed apart until everything died down. Plus he wanted me to spend some time with him and figure out what I wanted. And what I want is you…forever."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm positive. I think I've been in love with you since the moment I laid eyes on you." The vulnerability in both girls eyes was apparent, both of them afraid the other one had moved on. Looking into Miley's eyes as if she was looking into her soul, Lilly could see the truth hidden there and she could help but feel excited.

Smiling, "good, cause I love you too." As soon as the words left her lips they were being claimed once again in a fiery kiss.

Miley pulled away with a devious smile. "Now that, that's settled we have lots of catching up to do."

"And just what did you have in mind?" Lilly questioned seductively. Miley leaned in and began whispering in Lilly's ear. "Ooh I like that idea," Lilly admitted before pulling Miley down by the neck sealing their lips together again as they slowly made their way into the bed room, closing the door behind them.

Epilogue

Five Years Later

Miley rushed around the small beach house that had been her home for the last five years trying to make sure everything was perfect. Lilly should be home any minute now and she had a big surprise for her. It was something they had both been hoping for, for awhile, but until Miley was sure she hadn't dared let Lilly know it might be happening.

The two had gotten married the year before shortly after Miley had finally finished all her classes at the nearby college, majoring in English and music. She figured that while she was trying to make it as a singer/songwriter that maybe she could do some writing on the side as well. Which so far mostly consisted of writing publications for her father's never ending campaigns.

The two had managed to keep their relationship close. Every now and again they'd go out and do something together. He was also a frequent dinner guest here at the beach house. After a little hesitance on both their parts Robbie Ray and Lilly had managed to become fairly close as well. As much as anyone would who dated the Senator's daughter. Although if elections worked out in their favor he would no longer be senator but the President of the United States.

Miley had high hopes that it would happen. Though she was sad to think he'd be moving across the country permanently. When she had expressed her concerns to Lilly, the other woman had easily said they could go with him. They couldn't do that though, Lilly was really starting to make a name for herself for in the photography and art world and Miley didn't want to see her lose all that.

Miley smiled remembering the two day argument about it. Not because of the arguing, but because the making up and been exceptional and in part led to another decision they made that night. Which brought them back to Miley trying to make everything perfect for tonight.

She felt Lilly's presence outside long before she heard the backdoor slide open to reveal the blonde woman who had aged well in the last five years. Miley's heart leapt in her throat as she looked over the person she fell in love with more every day.

After their customary greeting kiss, Lilly pulled back to look at Miley then around the room. "Smells good in here." Taking a deep breath, "By the scent of it I'm guess you cooked my favorite of all your dad's recipes."

"Awe now you blew one of my surprises. Good thing I've got another one in store for tonight," Miley smiled sweetly, leading Lilly into the dining room where dinner was waiting for them.

Lilly knew better than to question Miley on the surprise. She's to stubborn to give it up so she would just have to wait until she was ready to let her in on it. They ate by candlelight as the caught up on each other's day before Miley led them both down to the beach where she had a blanket already set up so they could enjoy the stars and the sound of the waves.

"Are you going to tell me what's going on yet?" Lilly questioned innocently after the two were spread out in each other's arms staring at the night sky.

"Remember when we decided that maybe it was time we made a change in our lives?"

"Yeah…" Lilly responded unsure where Miley was trying to go with this.

Miley just turned to face Lilly, giving her a passionate kiss before looking deeply into her eyes. "Well it's happened, I'm pregnant."

Whispering, "really?"

"Mmhmm," Miley answered with a smile on her face. Lilly had been unsure at first when she suggested the idea to Miley about them having a child. That maybe Miley would say she was too young, being fresh out of college and hadn't really experienced the world. Her wife had surprised her though, agreeing instantly and even suggesting she be the one to get pregnant since she was younger and therefore it would be easier on her body or so she believed.

She could see the excitement in Miley's eyes now that they were truly going to have a baby. Placing her hand on her wife's stomach and rubbing gently, Lilly leaned forward and kissed Miley again. "I love you so much Miley."

"I love you too baby."

A/N: The main part of the ending stemmed from the alternate ending on the DVD as well as a few things I've heard Katherine Brooks the Director say how she would have liked to have end it if she would have had more time and money to do so. The Epilogue was all mine though Haha.
