Miley's POV

I've been thinking about what Emma said during Landin's birthday party. She made a point. I think I should talk to Liam about it. Now was probably a good time, too. Jessica and the twins are taking a nap. I was currently in the kitchen, and so I walked into the living room. I didn't see Liam so I walked into my room, hoping I'd find him there. When I walked into my room, Liam was lying on my bed.

"Hey." I say, then he looks at me and sits up.

"Oh, hey. Sorry." He says.

"For what?"

"For being in your bed. I uh, I was just-"

"It's fine, Liam. I mean, we are gonna be sharing one soon." I say with a smile.

"Okay."

"So, I uh...I have something I wanted to talk to you about..."

"Am I in trouble?" He jokes, and I sit on my bed next to him. "Oh god I am."

"No, Liam. You're not in trouble. I just wanna talk to you about the subject I keep avoiding when you bring it up." Then he looks at me confused. "Sex."

"Oh. Well don't worry Miley. I won't pressure you. You said before you aren't ready, and I'm okay with that."

"No, Liam, I'm talking about it now because I am ready. I mean, not now of course. But when we're alone...I am." I explain, and he smiles.

"Really? You aren't just saying it to make me happy? Like, you actually want to?"

"You seem surprised that I want to. But yes, I actually do. Just not right now this moment."

"Wow. Awesome." He says with a smile.

"Don't get too excited. We have to find a time when we can be alone."

"I know...I'm happy you're ready." Then he kisses me passionately on the lips. I put my hand on his cheek, and deepen the kiss. He pulls away, looking shocked.

"What?" I ask.

"You said not now."

"I know. I was just deepening the kiss, Liam." I looked down and I could tell he had a huge boner. I smiled and looked up at him. He caught on to what I was grinning about pretty quick, and he stood up. "What?"

"Uh, we should go check on the kids." He says, his face red with embarrassment. I shake my head smiling, and stand up.

"Okay." We walked out of my room, and went to check on the kids. We first went into the twins' room, and they were sleeping. We walked into Jessica's room and she was sitting on the floor, playing with some toys. She looked up at Liam and me and smiled.

"Hi mommy hi daddy." Jessica says, then continues to play. I sigh and kneel next to her.

"Jessy, you were supposed to be sleeping." I say.

"I know."

"Well then why weren't you? Did you even sleep a little bit?" Then she shakes her head. "Why not?"

"Not tired."

"Well you normally are. What's so different today?" I reply to her.

"I wanna play." She responds. I sigh, and look up at Liam.

"You wanna give this one a go?" I ask Liam, and he nods, then we switch places.

"Jessy, you need to nap. Or else you have to go to bed early tonight." Liam says, then I look at my phone to check the time.

"Liam, it's almost time to get the twins up. Jessica isn't gonna have time for a nap."

"Well Jessica, you got lucky today. But you do have to nap tomorrow. Okay?" Then she looks at Liam and nods.

"Okay daddy." She agrees.

"Why do our kids like you better than me?" I ask Liam after he stands up and walks out of Jessica's room with me.

"What? No they don't. They like you better."

"What makes you say that?"

"Well, you're the one that birthed them. You're the one that took care of them while I was gone. You're always there for them when I'm not. You're-"

"I get it." I say, interrupting him. "But they love you a lot too." Then I hear one of the twins crying.

"You want to get it? Or me?" Then they both start crying, and I smile.

"I think we should both go."

"Good call." He says before we walk into the twins' room. "I'll get Cece, you get Leo?" He suggests, and I nod. I picked up Leonardo and I noticed he needed to be changed.

"Leo needs changed, what about Cece?" I ask Liam.

"Yup, her too. At least they do things at the same time." Then I laugh and put Leonardo on his changing table. After Liam and I were done changing the babies, we took them into the kitchen and put them in their highchairs to eat.

"Liam, will you get the baby food after you put Cece in her highchair?" Then Liam nods, and puts Cece in her highchair. Then I put bibs on the babies.

"What kind of food do you want me to grab for them?" He asks.

"Um, we haven't done bananas in a while for either of them. Grab that one."

"Here ya go." He says, handing me the baby food for Leonardo. Then he sits in front of Cecelia with the baby food for her.

"Thanks." I say. "Okay Leo. Want some bananas?" I say to Leonardo. I get a spoonful and feed it to him.

"Cece, bananas." Liam says to Cecilia, then he puts the spoon in her mouth and she spits it out. "Let's try that again." When Liam feeds Cecilia another bite, she spits it out again.

"Weird, she ate bananas a while ago." I say, while feeding Leonardo.

"I know she's hungry. She's always hungry after naps. And she wouldn't take it if she wasn't hungry."

"Here, let me try one." Then I feed her a spoonful, and she spits it out. "Hmm...oh, I know. Okay Cece, look. Bananas are yummy."

"Yeah Cece, bananas are good. So goo-" Before Liam finished what he was saying, I put a spoonful of the baby food in his mouth. He made a disgusted look on his face.

"Smile, the baby's watching you." I say with a smile. Then he fake smiles. "Now swallow, Liam." He swallows, and continues to fake smile.

"Mmm...that stuff's terrible." He says, then I laugh. "Okay, c'mon Cece. I went through that pain so you can eat. Now please eat." He begs Cecilia. He feeds her a bite, and she eats it.

"There, see? Just for one bad bite now she's eating."

"Uh huh..." Liam replies. "At least she's eating."

After we fed the twins, we sat down in the living room and played with them and with Jessica. Sometimes it gets crazy having three kids, but I'm happy. Life is good.
