Miley's POV

It's been exactly a month since Liam and I first had sex for the first time since we got back together. A month since we've been trying for a baby for the first time, I was exactly a month. I had an appointment with my doctor at 3:00 PM today. It was currently about 2:30 and I was anxiously waiting until it was time to leave. Liam was coming with me and I could tell he was very anxious. Maybe as anxious as me. All I could think of is that it's actually happening. We're actually having a baby. I know I'm ready, but I'm worried Liam isn't.

"You ready?" Liam asks, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Hmm? Oh, um yeah. I uh, I'm just thinking." Then he raises an eyebrow.

"What were you thinking about?"

"Uh, j- just the baby. Nothing else." I say, then he kisses me.

"I've been thinking about the baby too. i've also been thinking about another thing. When are we telling everyone you said yes? We've got eight months til this baby comes, but I want them to know before you start to show. I need everyone to have their head wrapped around the fact we're engaged before they know you're pregnant."

"And we'll tell them. Soon, I just need to know how."

"How about "hey, we're engaged" Miley?" Huh? Please? C'mon, I need people to know."

"Liam...it's more complicated than that. You know it." I say, angerly. "C'mon, Liam. You of all people should know I don't just tell people I'm engaged, or pregnant. Okay? Can we just try and figure it out after the doctor appointment?" I reply, then he sighs.

"I'm sorry, Miley. I just- I wanted everyone to know. I wanted everyone to know how much I love Miley Ray Cyrus." Then I kiss him on the lips.

"It's okay. i think we should go though." Then I check the time. "It's almost 2:45."

"Okay, let's go." He says, then I grab my keys and walk to my car. We got in my car, buckled up, and I started it. When I was driving, Liam kept looking at me and kept smiling.

"What?" I ask.

"Nothing, I just really love you."

"Well don't show it too well, I seriously don't want them knowing it's true yet." Then he nods.

"I understand that. I really do. Honestly."

"Thanks." I say. then he smiles.

When we got to the doctor Liam and I walked to the waiting room. I checked myself in, and we sat down next to each other. He put his hand on my thigh, and I moved it. He looked at me confused and I looked at him with an "are you serious" face. He nodded and then grabbed a magazine. When he opened it, he looked bored so he closed it and put it down.

"What's wrong?"

"No sports magazines, seriously. Why only pregnancy and parenting ones?" He replies.

"Well...it might be because this is an OB/GYN office. And because it's mainly women and pregnant women here."

"Well yeah, I guess." Then I laugh and shake my head.

"Miley?" A lady says. I get up, and Liam follows me and the nurse to the room. Then she takes my blood pressure and weighs me. "Put on a gown the doctor will be right in." Then she leaves.

"Want me to turn around?" Liam asks.

"We're engaged and you've seen me naked before, you're fine. Unless you wanna turn around." Then I take off my shirt and sweats, leaving me in my underwear.

"Why do you need to put on a gown?" Liam asks.

"She's gonna have to do an inside ultrasound. I'm not far along enough to have a regular ultrasound. I'm only four weeks and I should at least be eight to ten." Then he nods as I remove my underwear and put on the gown.

"Okay. So what's all gonna happen?"

"She's gonna stick something up my vagina, we'll hear a heartbeat, and she'll tell me whether the baby is healthy and what I need to do."

"Wow, okay." Then I sit on the table and the doctor walks in.

"Hi Miley." Then I shake her hand.

"Hi." I reply.

"I'm Dr. Cooper." She says, shaking Liam's hand.

"Liam." He says.

"Okay Miley. I'm going to do a transvaginal ultrasound. This is going to be a bit cold now." Then I nod and put my feet in the stirrups. She gets the ultrasound wand and puts it inside me.

"Holy shit where do you keep that thing Antartica?!" I say after jumping, then Liam laughs. "Oh yeah? You want this thing jammed up inside you?" Then he quiets down. "Why aren't we hearing anything?" I ask, worried.

"Miley..." She says, then I get teary eyed Did I lose another baby?

"D- did I- did I lose another baby?" I ask, practically crying.

"Miley, there isn't a heartbeat. But that isn't because of a miscarriage." Then I look at her confused.

"But if- if it wasn't a miscarriage then wh- what was it?" I ask.

"Yeah I mean, the pregnancy test said positive." Liam says. "I saw it myself."

"You were never pregnant, Miley. Some tests can be false. Most of the time they aren't, but I'm afraid this time it was. You were never pregnant." Dr. Cooper says. "I'm sorry, Miley."

"It's fine. I uh, I mean. We've been trying for a long time. Well I mean we've been having sex for like this whole time since I've gotten back. I don't understand." I reply.

"Don't give up, Miley. It will happen someday. You may just need help from a fertility doctor. But I suggest you keep trying for a bit longer before you ask for help." Then I nod, and she leaves.

"Miley..." Liam says.

"No, don't worry. I- I'm fine. Really." Then I get up and get changed back into my clothes.

When we were driving back to my house it was completely silent. I'm not pregnant? How am I not pregnant? I mean, I'm not pregnant?
