Miley's POV   

"Hey Liam, will you go get a teething ring for Leo? Cece has one but Leo doesn't and he's crying." I ask Liam after he comes into the living room. It was that time in the twins' lives-- they're teething.

"Yeah, be right back." He answers. About a minute later, Liam came into the living room and handed me a teething ring.

"Here ya go Leo." Then I show Leo and he grabs it. "Thanks Liam."

"No problem."

"Daddy play with me." Jessica says to Liam, handing him a toy.

"Oh you want me to play with you?" He asks Jessica.

"Cece and Leo won't play and mommy won't either."

"That's cause your brother and sister are busy with their teething rings, and I'm watching them." I explain to Jessica.

"Daddy will you?"

"So I was your last option?" Liam asks, then Jessica nods her head, making Liam laugh. "Okay, if you insist."

While Liam was playing with Jessica and I was watching the twins, my phone started to ring. I looked at my phone and it was Noah calling, so I decided to answer it.

"Hey Noah."

"Hi Miley."

"What's up?" She asks me.

"Nothing much, just watching kids. How are you?"

"I'm good. Ethan and I have started planning the wedding."

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot he proposed. You haven't really talked much about it. How much have you planned?" I reply.

"Not a whole lot. We're mainly deciding on the guest list right now and we're making the invitations."

"Oh okay, cool. Have you decided on when?"

"He and I both don't wanna rush too fast. We agreed that once we plan the guest list and where and who's gonna be in the wedding then we'd decide on when. But we also agreed it'd be within the year." She answers.

"Cool. I'm so happy for you both. How's it been with you two, anyway?"

"Well, um- wait. Is Liam in the room with you?"

"Yeah...why?" I ask.

"Well, I wanted to tell you something cause I really need your advice..."

"Then tell me."

"I can't. Well, I can't unless I know for sure you're alone." She says seriously.

"Okay, hold on." Then I hold my phone down and look at Liam. "Liam, will you watch the twins and Jessica while I go somewhere else to talk?"

"Yeah, that's fine." He says. I walk into Liam's and my room and put the phone back to my ear.

"Okay, I'm alone." I tell Noah.

"Can I FaceTime you?"

"Why?"

"Cause what I'm gonna tell you I also gotta show you. But put headphones in."

"Okay, okay." After I found some headphones, I FaceTimed Noah. "Now, tell me."

"Miley, you have to swear you won't tell anyone okay?" She says.

"I promise, Noah."

"Alright...so. The thing is, I kinda might have had just a little problem a few days ago."
