A/N: Thanks so much for the reviews! I love hearing what you guys think about this story. Here's the next chapter, and I think (well hope) that you guys will like it!

The week had gone by quickly...much too quickly for Miley's liking. They would be going back home tomorrow. Back to real life. But she had decided not to think about that, and just enjoy this last day. This trip had rejuvenated her, and for that, she was grateful. Though she couldn't help but wish they could stay here forever.

And enjoy the last day they did. They got to ride the last of the rides on everyone's wish lists. They got about a million pictures of the kids posing next to practically all of Disney's famous landmarks. It was a wonderful day for everyone, except maybe Lilly.

She emptied the contents of her stomach into the toilet for the third time that day as Miley held her hair back. She groaned as she stood up. "God, I feel awful."

Miley gave her a sympathetic look. "You look like you have the stomach virus. That's kind of weird though, since none of us got it."

"Yet. You probably need to stay away from me", Lilly warned.

Miley pressed her hand to her friend's forehead. "You don't feel like you have a fever." Suddenly, her eyes grew large. "Lilly, when was your last period?"

Lilly's eyes grew even larger. "Oh my God. I don't remember. It hasn't been for a while though. Miley, do you think I'm pregnant?"

She shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe you do just have some kind of bug. But you should probably take a test to see one way or another."

She sighed as Lilly began to hyperventilate. "But what if I am pregnant? Me and Joe...we haven't talked about having another baby. Not for a while anyway. What if he's not happy about it?"

Miley rested her hands squarely on Lilly's shoulders. "Look at me. If you are pregnant, you know as well as I do that Joe will be thrilled about it. I can see how much he loves you and Myles. It wouldn't be any different with a new baby."

Lilly slowly nodded. "I have to go get a test."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Lilly shook her head, knowing Miley would have other plans for the night. Her possible pregnancy wasn't going to screw them up. "That's okay. You need to go meet everybody else for dinner. I'll just be a little late."

"You can't just be late, Lil. We made a reservation. We'll pick you up a test on the way back."

"I'll only be a few minutes", the blonde assured her. "Go ahead."

Nick walked outside to the pool, and stared in disbelief. The good news was that he had finally found his brother and the kids. The bad news was that they had a dinner reservation in half an hour, and Joe had apparently forgotten.

"Joe! What are you doing, man? We got a reservation to get to!", he called.

Joe looked up at him from the pool. "Oh, wow. I completely forgot!", he said in a fake expression of panic. He lifted the kids out of the pool, and then met up with Nick.

"Dude, how do you forget about this? Lilly and Miley have been talking about this place all week."

"I don't know. I guess I just got preoccupied with these two", he replied, handing towels to Myles and Belle. "Man, I don't think I'll be able to get ready in time. I'll just have to be a little late."

Nick rolled his eyes. "Lilly is going to kill you."

"No, she won't. Because you're going to go meet her and Miley, and tell them that me and the kids will be there in a few minutes."

He looked at the kids who were staring up at him with sneaky grins. They were up to something. "Yeah, I guess I'll go", he finally agreed. "But don't take too long."

"We did it!", Belle squealed, once Nick was out of earshot. "Now, mommy and Uncle Nick can have a real date!"

"And then, they can get married!", Myles added excitedly.

"And I can be the flower girl!"

"Don't get too ahead of yourselves, guys", Joe said cautiously. "We don't know how this little experiment is going to turn out."

Dressed in her favorite outfit, a shimmery strapless dress that matched her eyes, Miley walked into the restaurant. It was gorgeous, and apparently one of the most popular places around. She was used to these kinds of places. Hannah used to go to them all the time. It didn't exactly strike her as kid-friendly though. Most of the people here were couples.

"Can I help you?", the man at the desk asked.

"Uh, yes. I have a reservation. It's under Lucas. Joseph Lucas. Party of six. Four of them are probably here already."

The waiter just smiled, having already been informed of what was going on. "Right this way", he said, leading her to a private area. But the table was only set for two. Nick realized what was going on as he looked up at her. They had been set up. He had never felt so annoyed and so grateful at the same time.

Miley was still confused though. "Nick...where are Joe and the kids?", she asked slowly.

"They were at the pool. Apparently, Joe forgot that we had the reservation here. He said he would bring them after they got ready. Where's Lilly?"

"Let's just say she may be going through something pretty big", she sighed. She turned to the waiter. "Do you guys mind giving us a bigger table for when my friends come?"

"Sorry. This is all we have available", the man informed her. "Can I start you two out with something to drink?"

Miley reluctantly sat down, and they ordered. Then, she heard her phone vibrate inside her bag. It was a text from Lilly.

Don't think I'm going to make it to the restaurant. I just feel too sick. I'm about to take the test right now. But don't worry about me. Just focus on having a great time. Love ya.

"Lilly isn't coming", she stated.

"I don't think Joe is either", Nick admitted. "I'm pretty sure that we've been set up."

Miley shook her head in an almost embarrassed fashion, realizing that he was probably right. How else would the restaurant have messed up their reservation and everyone else just not show up? Did they think she liked Nick or something? Well, she did like him. A lot. But she didn't like him in that way. At least, she didn't think she did. Besides, even if she did, he probably only thought of her as a friend anyway.

As they ate and chatted, Nick began to feel less annoyed with the idea of being set up. This might be the only way he would actually get a date with Miley. And he didn't even have to go through the stress of asking her.

"It's kind of crazy, isn't it?", Miley remarked casually. "Lilly and Joe trying to set us up. But I guess it's sweet that they care so much."

Nick nodded, praying that he wouldn't regret what he was about to say. "Miley, I actually need to make a confession."

The serious look on his face made her heart beat faster. "Okay..."

He took a deep breath, and began to speak. "I really care about you. And I want us to stay friends regardless of how you feel about me. Can you promise me that?"

Her expression morphed into one of confusion. "Yeah, of course I want us to stay friends. Why would you think I wouldn't?"

"Because I like you...as more than a friend", he said softly. She didn't respond. Instead, it was as if she was in a frozen state, unable to respond. This was a bad idea. The last thing that he wanted was to pressure her into anything before she was ready. Now, she would probably never look at him the same way again. She moved her lips as if to say something, but nothing came out.

"You don't have to say anything", Nick said quickly. "I just think it's time that I lay my cards out on the table. I think you're amazing. I think you're smart and funny and kind. I think you're a great friend and a great mom. And you're the most beautiful person that I've ever met...inside and out. I love everything about you, Miley."

She could hardly believe everything that he was saying. He really thought those things...about her? Truthfully, she loved everything about him as well. And while it shocked her, it gave her butterflies at the same time to hear how he felt about her. Did that mean she liked him too?

"Nick...I don't know what to say", Miley managed to speak. "You...You really like me?"

The shock and confusion in her voice swirled with a hint of hope. That gave him the courage to go on. "I do. But if you don't like me that way, I totally understand. And I know that you've been through a lot, and it's hard for you to trust people because of it..."

"I trust you", she blurted out. "You've been so wonderful to me. I just...you could have any girl you want, Nick. Why would you want to pick someone as messed up as me?"

"You're not messed up. Please don't think that way of yourself. Every word that I said about you is the truth. You're amazing."

"You're amazing too", Miley said softly, wiping a tear from the corner of her eye. And he most definitely was. And he liked her.

Lilly nervously knocked on her husband's hotel room door. It took Joe a minute, but he finally opened it. "Hey", he smiled. "Have you heard anything from Miley or Nick?"

Miley and Nick. She had practically forgotten all about them in the past few minutes. "Uh, no. But I really need to talk to you."

Joe took note of the freaked out look on his wife's face. "Okay, well, the kids are in here watching a movie."

"I think we should talk out here."

Now, she was beginning to scare him. "Lilly, is something wrong?"

She shook her head. "No...yes...I don't know. I guess it depends on your reaction."

Joe looked at her in confusion. "My reaction to what?"

"A baby", Lilly said quietly.

"A baby?" Then, his eyes widened as he realized what was going on. "Oh my God. You're..."

"Pregnant", she finished for him. "Yeah. It looks like we're going to be parents again."

His initial look of shock turned into one of pure happiness. "We're gonna have a baby. Lilly, we're gonna have a baby!", he grinned as he embraced her tightly, lifting her off the ground. When her feet touched the ground again, she was smiling too.

"So, you're really happy about this?"

"Baby, I couldn't be happier", he said sincerely, cupping her face in his hands. "I love you so much."

"I love you too", Lilly replied in a relieved tone. "I know this wasn't exactly planned, but I'm so glad you're happy about it."

"Hey, you know what they say. The best things in life never are planned."

After dinner, Miley and Nick walked down the street. Things should have felt awkward. She had just found out that he liked her, and now, she was trying to decide if she felt the same way. She knew that she liked to spend time with him. She loved that he liked to make her smile. She even liked the butterflies that she would get if he looked at her a certain way or they were in close proximity to each other. But having had very little dating experience outside of Jake, she wasn't sure how real love was supposed to feel.

"Look!", Nick grinned as he pointed upwards to the sky. Though the noise from the fireworks had already drawn her attention. Beautiful streaks of so many different colors lit up the sky. It was amazing.

"It's so beautiful!", Miley breathed, her eyes not leaving the show of lights that was occuring above her.

Not as beautiful as you. That was the first thing that popped into his head, but he was able to resist the urge to deliver that corny line. "It is", he finally agreed, his glance alternating between her and the sky.

"Nick?", she said as she turned to look at him, feeling a brief surge of bravery sweep through her.

"What?"

"I want to kiss you."

His eyes widened. Did he hear that correctly? "Uh...what?", he uttered.

"I want to see if I feel the same way you do", Miley attempted to explain. Though she was beginning to think that she already knew the answer to that. "Is that okay with you?"

This time, Nick was the one who was frozen in shock. "Yeah", he finally managed to reply.

She took a deep breath, in an attempt to get her rapidly beating heart under control. And then, she tilted her head upwards, and her lips slowly collided with his. It was everything she thought it would be. Gentle, caring...but there was also an undeniable sense of passion that she felt that she didn't even know still existed. When he slowly pulled away, she stared into his eyes. The fireworks that had dominated their attention before were now just part of the background. All that mattered in that moment was the two of them.

Please let me know what you think!
