If I Needed Someone

Miley's POV  

"And...I think I've made a decision." Liam says.

I was so nervous, I have no idea what he's gonna say. Most of the time by the way he talks and acts, I know what he chooses. This time is very different. It's so difficult to read him. I'm actually glad I don't know what he's gonna say. I'm excited for this answer, I love surprises...mostly. He took a breath and let it out, he looked at me with a straight face.

"I think we should try." Then I smile a huge smile.

"Oh my god! Are you sure though?"

"Miley, I do. Want me to change my mind?"

"No, no. Of course not. I was just expecting a no, to be honest." I admit.

"Well, it is boring when the kids are gone. I know they eventually come home, but I still think a new addition would be great. I know at first I wasn't ready, but I've done a lot of thinking."

"You're amazing." Then I kiss him passionately on the lips. "Leo will be happy for a new sibling. All of them will be."

"I know we're both really hoping for another boy...but you know it could be a girl. That might upset Leo."

"I think even though if the baby would be a girl, Leo would still love it. He's a really caring and loving kid. That's one of the things I love most about him. But it's not the number one thing."

"What's the number one thing you love about him?" Liam asks, then I smile.

"I love everything about him, but I mostly love that he's almost an exact copy of you."

"Uh oh." He jokes, then I playfully push him.

"Shut up. He's got your caring personality, he's got your humor, your looks..."

"Well it's a good thing I look good then, hmm?"

"You don't just look good, you're sexy." Then I kiss him.

"Mmm, when did you wanna start that baby making?"

"I don't want our baby to be too close to Noah's...so maybe we can start trying next year." I say, then Liam's eyes widen.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"I don't want the baby's age to be too close to Noah's. Maybe next year."

"Okay, let me get this straight. You brought it up now, and you got me all excited. But you got me all excited for something that's going to happen basically a year from now?"

"I'm sorry, it's just that when I've been thinking about it, I got excited too. Then I also realized Noah's baby is due like August 3rd or something. If I got pregnant now, the baby would be born in November. That's only three months away from Noah's baby."

"Okay well when you say next year, how long are we talking?" Liam asks.

"I was thinking we could start trying in like...next February or March." Then Liam sighs.

"You're lucky I love you. Wait, can we still have sex?"

"Duh, genius. We'll just use protection."

"Well...let's hope for a boy when we do start trying. I really want another boy, and I agree with Leo. There are too many girls in the house."

"Liam, the ratio with girls to boys is, three to two."

"Exactly. So if we have a boy, it'll even out...well, unless we have twins again." Then my eyes grow wide.
