Final Chapter: You're My Prince Charming

Miley Cyrus stepped on the stage and looked out at the gloomy crowd. The faces of sadness, despair, and longing. For the first time since she could remember she got struck with stage fright.

"It's been a long time since I have done this, but I think that this is a special occasion and the best place for me to be to right now." She sat on the stool that was placed up on the stage at the church. She took a deep breath to try and steady all of the emotions that were overcoming her. She placed the guitar steadily in her hands and looked out at the crowd one more time. There was no clapping, no smiles, and no screaming fans. Just a sea of people dressed in black.

A cord was struck on her guitar to test out the tune, her eyes were closed to focus on the music, and as if she had never stopped singing she belted out the first verse, "Would you know my name, if I saw you in heaven? Would you feel the same, if I saw you in heaven? I must be strong and carry on, 'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven."

She opened her eyes and saw that the some frowns had turned into smiles and it was if something had taken over her. Without even really realizing she had stopped playing the guitar and stood up, so that even the people all the way at the back of the church could see her. "Would you hold my hand, If I saw you in heaven? Would you help me stand, If I saw you in heaven? I'll find my way through night and day, 'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven."

The teenager looked down at the casket that had been closed and began to choke up a bit. "Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure, And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven."

She wiped her tears away and took a second to regain her composure. She looked out at the crowd and tried to find every eye that she could, held her hand to her stomach, and belted out the last verse, "Would you know my name, If I saw you in heaven? Would you feel the same, If I saw you in heaven? I must be strong and carry on, Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven."

She caught her breath as she finished the song and looked out at the crowd. For a second it seemed as though they were speechless, but after the initial shock they all began to give her a standing ovation.

The brunette smiled at all the familiar faces. Happy that she could bring smiles to people through this very sad time. "Thank you." She gave the microphone to the pastor as she stepped down and returned to the crowd next to her boyfriend. He was still very weak because of the surgery, but he was determined to make it here. They held hands. In her heart she was so happy that this funeral wasn't for him. It could have just as easily been.

"And now we would all like to welcome Nick Jonas, who would like to say a few words." The pastor said to the crowd as he looked at the huge turnout.

Nick got up and slowly walked up to the pew. "I'm sorry it took me so long. I have just gotten a major surgery a week ago." He looked up at the crowd and couldn't help but begin to choke up. "This is a very personal loss for me and my family as well. I have known Mrs. James since I was young before I was Nick Jonas from the Jonas Brothers, when I was just Nick Jonas the kid. I remember going over her house and she would feed me and my brothers when my parents were working." He stopped speaking because the wave of emotions completely came over him and he started crying in front of everybody on the stage. "If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here right now." He wiped the tears away. "Um...she gave me her kidney. She saved me so that I could be here today and watch my daughter grow up. And for that I owe her everything." He looked down at the casket. "I wish that she would have made it through long enough so that I could thank her."

Miley had never seen her boyfriend this broken up over anything. She got out of her seat and walked up to where her boyfriend was weeping. As quickly as she could she hugged him because she knew he was to weak to display so much emotion. "I think what my boyfriend is trying to say is that we greatly appreciate this woman and everything she has done for not only us but our entire family. Mrs. James was such a selfless, wonderful, and a hero in her lifetime. We know she is in a better place and she is an angel." As she finished speaking, she helped her boyfriend back to their perspective seat.

Rachel closed the ceremony by speaking about her grandma, then every person in the church walked out to head to the burial.

Three Months Later:

Miley had her hair up in a messy bun, her skin tight jean shorts were fitting her curves perfectly, and her sleeveless white t-shirt was flowing fittingly to her shorts. Her smile was brighter than it had been since she could remember. "Everything looks so beautiful." She said happily as she placed the last of her awards on the shelf in the living room.

"You definitely out did yourself." Her boyfriend said as he looked at the built in studio that was very spacious.

"Well, this is our house. We are going to be living here for hopefully the rest of our lives. I just wanted to make sure it was perfect."

"It is." He had to admit that his girlfriend had way more talent than just singing and song writing. While he was recovering in the hospital she had picked out a beautiful mansion for them to stay in, of course it was in a prominent place in Northern California. It had a full studio, personal movie theater, open living room, a dinning table that was as big as their old apartments floor plan, five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a half bath, a pool in the back yard over the deck, a basement equipped with a bar, pool table, and a two lane bowling alley, and their back yard was fenced off to a personal beach that only them and their neighbors shared.

"Hopefully, we don't have more than four kids." She joked as she hugged her boyfriend and looked around her finished project. It was making her happy to see that everything was finally coming together.

"I think we should think about marriage first and bringing our careers back together." He said as he kissed her on her forehead. He had completely taken the kidney that Mrs. James had given him. He was probably going to have to take medicine for the rest of his life, but that was better than not having a life.

"I know." She looked up at him and kissed him on his lips quickly. "I think we should get ready Barbra will be here in about two hours so we can do this interview."

"I'm going to take a shower. Do you want to join?"

A bubbly teenager came out of her as she thought about how naughty and fun that would be, but the mature side of her had to take over. "Believe me, I would love too. But I have to get Maddie ready too. I don't have time to play around in the shower."

"I can take a rain check on that." He shrugged his shoulders and walked up the spiral stair case.

"This..." She smiled as she looked around at everything. "This is going to work."

Two hours later Nick and Miley were sitting on their stainless white modern couch that was in their living room, which was surrounded by glass windows and sun was beaming through the decorated room.

As much as he hated interviews because he was such a private person, he couldn't wait until they could finally clear up everything that had been going on for almost the past two years. It was something he felt that his fans should hear and the general public.

Barbra Walters greeted the two celebrities that she had interviewed separately before and started small talk with the two teens, until her camera man cued her that it was time to start the show. She sat down on the seat opposite them. It got a little hot when the lights were placed on and she looked directly into the camera. "Hi, I am Barbra Walters and I am here interviewing to of the most popular teenagers on the planet. Even though Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas haven't released an album in the past two years, they are still going strong because of their private lives. If you haven't been on the internet, picked up a magazine, or watched television, then you might be a little confused by this interview. I would like to introduce Miley and Nick."

The two smiled into the camera and said hi to Barbra again.

"It's kind of funny. I have talked to you both in interviews before but never at the same time. I wanted to ask, why have you two decided to do this interview?"

"We both want to clear up rumors or negative things that have been said about us and our family." Miley said as she looked at the older woman.

"And we have had plenty of people that wanted to do this with us, but we know that you would do it right." He continued for his girlfriend.

"Well, thank you for the compliment. I guess we should start from the beginning. You two have a daughter together, right?"

"Yes." They both said at the same time. A happy smile coming along, as if they were about to gush about their child.

"Later on we will be the first people to see her in this very exclusive interview. But until then we have to talk about the fans response after finding out that Miley Cyrus was really pregnant, even though you never formally confirmed it."

"I can see why people would be upset about finding out that I was pregnant. I am this icon for many young people and children. I just want to say that I am not sorry about having my daughter, she is the best thing that has ever happened to me. But we didn't plan on that happening. Even though we live in the eyes of the public we are normal people and we made a huge mistake."

"Would you say the huge mistake was having sex or having unprotected sex?"

"I think sex is normal. We are humans and thats what we are supposed to do, but maybe I could have waited a little longer and if I couldn't than we should have definitely been more careful." Miley answered the question.

"And what about the commitment rings that you guys used to wear?"

"I think people took that out of proportion." Nick finally spoke up. "Those rings weren't meant for us to wait until marriage, but it was supposed to mean that we were going to wait until we felt like we have met the right person and Miley is the right person for me."

"Okay, we have to take a break, but when we come back we are going to talk to these two about teen pregnancy, diabetes, their careers, and how they will try and juggle their young family and celebrity life.

As the show went to commercial the two of them began to talk privately as Barbra began to get her make-up redone. All three began to start small talk until they were told they were about to be back on air.

"And we are back with Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas. These two are both multiplatinum selling artist. But I have to ask which is more rewarding, parenthood or selling CD's?"

"This one is an easy one. Parenthood is the best feeling in the world. It is also way harder than I probably could have imagined." Nick replied to the question as he looked over at his girlfriend. "When our daughter was first born it really brought out things in the both of us that we never thought would happen?"

"Would you like to elaborate on that more?"

Nick sighed and began to explain in more detail without telling all of their business. "Before parenthood I was the mature one and Miley was the fun loving one. After the baby things kind of switched and the pressure of this human-being always needing you kind of made us crack."

"Teen pregnancy is real. People like to glamorize it and make it seem like it is wonderful. Again I love my daughter and parenthood is so rewarding, but if you can wait, than wait. I think if Nick and I were older it would have definitely been a lot easier." She continued.

"You said "crack" Is this when we were seeing you with Liam and Nick with the up and coming artist Gabby? She was under your recording label right.?"

"Liam is a great guy and one of my best guy friends." Miley responded almost mechanically not wanting to talk about her brief dating history with him.

"And Gabby is a wonderful artist. She and I didn't work really well when I was her manager, but I know that she will become something in this industry. Whoever is managing her now is really lucky." Nick said with a smile as he took his girlfriends hands to reassure her that he is glad that they are back together.

"I have one more question before we go on another break. We almost lost you. How are you feeling now and where are you with your progress?"

"Yeah, I was scared for a second that I wouldn't survive. I am a type I diabetic. I found out a while ago. I took advantage of it and it was a really dark place in my life. Thanks to a very special person who is no longer with us, I am in perfect health right now. I am never going to stop taking my medicine again. And I am actually in the works of starting my own organization to help kids and young adults take care of the disease like I am."

"That is great to hear. We will learn more about their future endeavors and later meet the little girl that is arguably the most famous one year old on the planet after this.

After the okay came on that they were on break, she looked over at the two teenagers, they seemed so much more relatable after speaking with them. "So, what is your daughters name?"

"Madeline Skye Jonas, but we call her Maddie for short of course." Miley spoke for the two of them.

"I can't wait to meet her. I am sure she is beautiful. How can she not be with such great looking parents as she does." The celebrity in her own right said as she looked at the two.

"Well, you know we think she is something, but we are her parents." The young mother said as she smiled. "I dressed her up in this cute little dress..."

The two women began to chat about motherly things. Before the commercial was over.

"We are back with this cute couple. So, we have talked about teen pregnancy and diabetes. What everybody wants to know, including me is are you guys going to be coming back into the industry at all? We know that Nick was doing some managing, but there are rumors that you, Miley, are completely thinking about not singing anymore."

She smiled at the camera and said, "For once that was not a rumor. I actually was thinking about not returning to music. Actually, until a couple of months ago when I returned to the stage to sing at a funeral, I was almost sure I wasn't going to come back, but I am."

"Are you currently working on anything and what label record are you going to be coming out underneath?"

"In about a month I am going to own my own record label." Nick announced. "I haven't inked anything yet, so that's all I can basically say for right now. Miley will be under my label and I will retire from the music industry to work more behind the scenes."

"So how are you guys going to work this out while being parents?" The older woman began to become intrigued with this.

"We haven't figured everything out but I am going to release an album and when I go on tour Maddie is going to be with me. I am not that into nanny's and I believe in having a child and raising that child. Since Nick is going to be behind the scenes and we have a studio right here in our house, while I am out promoting and stuff, he will be here with our daughter." She rehearsed in her mind as they did when they were coming up with the schedule.

"It will be hard, but we can make it work as a family." His hand gripped hers tighter as they talked about their small family.

"Are we going to see wedding bells any time soon or more kids?"

"There will more than likely be wedding bells before kids. But we want to focus on our careers before we think about adding to the family." Nick answered as he looked into the cameras.

"There will be more kids though. I don't want to say we will be the next Brangelina. I am thinking about one more album and a tour before trying for another one. I want my kids to be close in age. That's just for right now though. Anybody that knows me knows that I can change my mind." Miley continued with the answer.

"Is there anything else that you guys would like the world to know."

They looked at each other. Nick began, "we would like the world to know that we are just human. We love our fans and they will always have a special place in our hearts. But our personal lives are just that and we hope that our daughter can lead somewhat of a normal life. She didn't ask for us to be her parents. So please, if there is any possible way, can she just be kept out of everything."

"Alright, we will be back after this commercial break to meet this daughter that they have ever so lovingly been talking about." She looked into the screen with a smile.

Three minutes later the show was back on. "And we are back. So I have to ask one question before we go and meet this little girl. What's her name?"

"Madeline Skye Jonas." Nick replied as he looked at the lady. This had been one interview where he feels like he didn't say anything that can be taken and misconstrued into something else.

"What a beautiful name." She reinstated this time in front of the cameras. "Why don't we meet this little girl."

The couple got up and walked upstairs into one of the rooms where their daughters princess filled room was. Only one camera man was allowed in the room as they entered.

"Hi, baby." Miley said as she made a silly face to her very happy daughter who was dressed in a white gown as if she was going to church on easter. The camera man got a good three second shot of the baby, and then backed away as the teenager picked up her daughter. "Everybody this is Maddie."

Nick just watched and placed his arm around Miley's shoulder. "She is something isn't she." He asked proudly as he put his finger inside her small palm.

"She is truly gorgeous." The interviewer replied as she looked down at the baby.

"Sometimes we sing to her, she really seems to be respondent to that." The mother said as she looked over at her boyfriend and they got a nod. Together they sang in harmony. "I got sunshine on a cloudy day. When it's cold outside, I see the month of May. I guess you say, what can make me feel this way? Maddie, Maddie, Maddie...talkin' bout Maddie."

The young girl laughed at her parents and started to murmur as if to sing.

"Well, there you have it folks. You have seen the very intimate life of teen sensations Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas and their very beautiful baby girl Madeline. Until next time." Barbra said as she concluded the show.

After the filming had left and Barbra had said her goodbyes to the two, they were left as a family alone in their mansion for the first time.

"I kind of miss having our families so close to us." Miley said as she soaked in the jacuzzi that was in the master bedroom.

"Well, our families have to lead normal lives and we have to come back to our first love, music." He responded as he sat on the stainless granite countertops in the bathroom with nothing but his towel on.

"I know. It's just weird how much our lives have changed." She said as she laid further down until just her neck and higher were above the steaming water.

"Yeah, and there are still so many more changes to come. I turn twenty in a few months, can you believe that? We are no longer going to be teenagers." His voice in awe.

"It's crazy. Before you know it Maddie will be our age and we will be like forty." She said cringing at the thought. "I will probably own Grammys, Emmys, and golden globes by then."

"Hey, hopefully, I will have at least one of those awards. I haven't really acted in any motion pictures like you have, but I think I can be somewhat good at it." He said thinking about going into other fields once Maddie got old enough to take care of herself.

"I hope so. We can be the biggest super couple ever!" It was funny most people dreamed to be like her and she dreamed to be bigger than her.

"You know what would solidify that?" He asked as he hopped off of the counter, dropped his towel, and got into the jacuzzi with her.

"If your saying that sex would solidify us being a super couple than we have been a super couple for a while."

"No, that ring that you through at me a couple of months back would though. It's yours again, if you want it."

She giggled at the thought. "What a way to purpose again and with the same ring?" The teenager cocked her head to the side with her long brown wet hair sinking into the water.

"It's the same ring but I have made more provisions. I mean a girl like you who has been around for my highs and lows deserves a little bit of an upgrade."

"How much of an upgrade?" She asked as she leaned in close to him, their faces only inches away from each other.

"I guess you will have to see for yourself." He whispered.

"Where is it?" The curiosity was killing her. "I am not having sex with you until I see the ring." She lifted her hand up and pointed to her ring finger.

He chuckled and kissed her on her neck.

Her eyes rolled back, but she stayed focus. "I am not playing." Miley got out of the jacuzzi and left and naked Nick watching her go into their master bedroom. "Where is the ring?"

A little upset that this happened, he got out of the hot water, and placed a towel back over him. "You know this is unfair. I haven't had sex in forever. The doctor finally clears me and my girlfriend won't let me." He whined.

"That's your fault. You should have taken your medicine. Which by the way have you taken your medicine today?" She called out to him until she realized that he was in the room.

"I took my medicine." He walked into the enormous walk in closet that was his and walked back out with nothing but boxers on. Then he twirled his girlfriend around to face him and got down on one knee. "Even though you won't have sex with me. You are beautiful, intelligent, and very talented. You are the greatest mother a child can ask for, so I know you will be a wonderful wife. I want you to be with me for the rest of our lives. So, will you marry me, again?"

A smile creeped on her face as she thought about the last time he had proposed to her. It was in front of everybody, this was way more intimate and personal. And she loved every single second of it. "Of course I will."

He slipped the newly revised ring on her finger and got up and kissed her passionately.

After this kiss was over she let her emotions get the best of her as tears began to fall.

"Why are you crying? What happened?" His brown eyes filled with concern as he lifted his fiancee's head up.

"Nothing, I am crying because I am happy." She started to laugh and smile as she looked at her newly revised ring. There were more diamonds on it and everybody knows that diamonds are a girls best friend. "I feel like we have been through it all. Teen pregnancy, disappointing family and fans, diabetes, dating other people, being broke, pregnancy scares, kidney failures, and death." She wiped her tears away. "All of that to be here in our lives."

"Pregnancy scare?" He cocked his head back.

"That's not important. What is important is that we have been through it all and we are still together. I know that you are it for me. You, our daughter, my family, and my career are what is important."

"Are you getting all emotional on me?" He joked as he hit her playfully.

"Shut up! I am trying to be serious here." The brunette replied with a smile.

"Okay, seriously. I love you Miley. I love you more than you will probably even know." His eyes met with hers as he said the most truthful thing that he had ever said in his life.

"I love you too. You're my prince charming."

A/N: This is the last time that I am going to say, sorry for the hiatus. lol! I was in such a deadlock with this last chapter. I had no clue how to really approach it, and I hope that I did it well? This is it. This is the end to this very long story. I hope you all enjoyed it and I wish I could do more chapters, but I am busy, and I have never been one to do a forty chapter story. I guess this is a goodbye for this story.
