Miley's POV

I had just gotten home with Jonah and had him lying in his bed resting. Liam went home and I let Nick go home too. He's stayed for so long helping and I can't thank him enough for that. Noah and Rico are here to visit since I haven't seen Noah in a while. Once she arrived Rico played with some toys while Noah and I talked.

"So how's it going? The pregnancy I mean." I ask Noah.

"Well I'm twenty-eight weeks, I just have twelve weeks to go. I'm getting tired of being pregnant, I forgot how much it sucked. It's all worth it in the end."

"Yeah it is."

"How's Jonah dealing with everything? Being blind can't be easy."

"He's got the house memorized so he can make his way around for the most part. He can choose his own clothes and dress himself because he's got his room memorized. He doesn't like asking for help much. He's a lot like his dad in that department."

"Yeah I know how stubborn Jo can be. So what about Nick?" She asks.

"What do you mean?"

"Have you told him how you feel?"

"No...I've had a lot on my mind lately." I answer.

"I get that but you should still tell him."

"I know..."

"You seem upset Miley, is something wrong?"

"No, I just have a lot on my mind."

"And one of those things should be telling Nick how you feel. What if he gets back with Priyanka before you tell him?" She replies.

"By the way Nick has been talking, I don't think that's what Priyanka wants. I don't think that's what Nick wants either."

"Stop using that as an excuse to delay things, you're stalling."

"No I'm not."

"Then why don't you tell him?"

"Because I-" I sigh and look down. "I don't know..."

"Miley-"

"Can we talk about something else? Like anything else?" I ask.

"Okay, Carlos and I have been thinking of names..."

"Aw really? Are you gonna tell me or keep it a secret? It'd kinda be torture not telling me after saying you have ideas..."

"Carlos and I kinda wanna keep it secret but since you tell me practically everything I think maybe I should tell you too."

"Don't let that be the reason you tell me Noah."

"It isn't, I'm dying to tell someone." She says, making me laugh.

"What about mom and dad?"

"You know mom, she'd get excited talking about the baby and accidentally say something in front of Carlos."

"You could tell Carlos you told mom."

"Do you wanna know or not?"

"Duh!" I reply. "Are you gonna make me beg for it?"

"No. And we haven't settled on the order just yet. we're still thinking about it."

"Well?"

"We're thinking about Mateo Jacob Franco Sanchez. We aren't sure about what order to put them in yet."
