Oliver chased after Lilly, but he was no match for her speed.

"Lilly!" he called after her.

She ran for a good ten minutes, Oliver having a difficult time keeping up with her. But then, she tripped and fell.

"Lilly!!!" Oliver screamed and sprinted to her. "Are you alright?"

Lilly had tears streaming down her face. "The baby! My baby!" Her arms wrapped around her stomach as she curled up into the fetal position.

Oliver rubbed her arm. "Lilly, it was a small fall, the baby's fine."

He helped her up and brushed the sand off her dress. "Let's go back to the hotel Lils, I'll make you a hot chocolate." He smiled gently and offered her his hand.

She hesitated and then took it. "As long as I get marshmallows."

Oliver chuckled. "Little marshmallows or big ones?"

Lilly poked her stomach and spoke to it. "What do we want?" She looked up at Oliver and smiled. "Little!"

Oliver smiled warmly and kissed her softly. "Then that is what you will have."

They walked back to their hotel room and found Miley sitting on her bed. Oliver helped Lilly sit on her bed then started to make the hot chocolate.

Miley sat beside Lilly and hugged her. "Everything is going to be alright, Lils."

Lilly sighed. "But, Miles, what if it's Joe's?"

Miley smiled sympathetically. "You know Joe won't abandon you, he was raised well."

Lilly frowned. "That's not what I'm worried about." She glanced over at Oliver who had been still with his back turned to her the whole time.

Miley got up and walked to the door. "It's time you two had a talk." She left.

Lilly stared at the door for a long thirty seconds before turning to look at Oliver. He remained frozen.

She cleared her throat and he turned around. They stared at each other for a full minute. Lilly held her hand out, Oliver slowly moved over and held her hand and sat beside her.

Lilly put her head on Oliver's shoulder and he kissed her head.

A tear fell down her cheek and Olive held her. "Lilly . . ." he spoke gently.

She sniffled.

"Lils, I love you. If the baby is Joe's, I'll still be there for you both. I could never live without you and the baby is part of you."

Lilly looked up into his eyes and saw the sincerity in them. "Are you sure? You'd be fine with having Joe around? If it's his I'm not going to keep it away from him."

Oliver kissed her softly. "For you, I'd walk through hell just to see a smile."

Lilly 'aww'-ed and kissed him passionately.

Oliver smiled. "Your hot chocolate's going to get cold."

Lilly gasped. "We can't let that happen."

He stood up and brought it over to her. "The princess gets her royal beverage."

Miley walked across the beach. It was getting very dark and the stars above were breathtaking. She lay down in the cool sand and watched the stars, listening to the gentle crash of the waves. The scent of salt water was soothing and reminded her of home.

She closed her eyes and thought of Nick. His eyes, his hair, his smile, his scent, his laugh, his heart, his voice.

"Nick, I miss you," she told the stars.

"You don't have to."

Miley jumped to her feet and blushed. She hasn't heard Nick sneak up on her wearing his suit. She ran to him and hugged him tightly?"

"About an hour ago. Sorry, I didn't mean to miss the wedding. The concert ran late, the plane was delayed, Joe kept kicking my seat, Kevin stole my tie. I'm sorry."

Miley giggled. She loved when he rambled on like that. "I forgive you." She kissed him gently.

He kissed back. "How comfortable is this beach?" he asked when they stopped.

Miley smiled. "You'll have to test it yourself."

And they did.

xXx oOo xXx

Miley walked out of the hotel bathroom, her hair up in a towel. She sat on the edge of Lilly's bed and Lilly sat down beside her.

"Lilly," Miley said slowly and paused. "Have you ever done it on the beach?"

Lilly looked at Miley curiously. "This beach or a beach in the general sense of sand and water?"

"Either one."

Lilly shook her head. "Can't say that I have. Unless I was drugged." She smiled.

Miley laughed softly. "I wouldn't recommend it to you trying it then. I was on top and still ended up with sand everywhere."

Lilly giggled then her eyes grew wide. "You and Nick . . . you two . . . ?"

Miley nodded smiling.

"Was this the first time?" Lilly asked.

Miley nodded again, the smile disintegrating. "I stole Nick's virginity."

Lilly giggled. "Great sisters we are, stealing a couple of virgin brothers' virginities. Watch out Kev."

Miley punched Lilly's arm playfully.

"Baby abuse!" Lilly yelled and they both burst out laughing.
