Can't Stop The Feeling

Miley's POV     

"Miley, are you...are you pregnant?" She asks, and I sigh with my eyes closed, tearing up.

"I knew you'd say it." I reply, completely crying at this point.

"Miley...when are you gonna tell Liam? He's gotta know."

"No he doesn't."

"What?" Noah asks, looking confused.

"I'm not."

"Not...?"

"For fucks sake I'm not pregnant!"

"Don't cry Miley, I didn't mean-"

"I know, I know. The way I've been talking this whole time, the way I've been acting. It makes sense, right?"

"Were you pregnant lately, like at all?" Noah asks.

"Would you please stop using the word pregnant? The last thing I need is Liam to hear the word 'pregnant'. And no, I never was." Then I wipe my tears, but continue to cry.

"Well...do you want to be pregnant? Sorry but I don't know any other word to use. And I know you said you don't want another baby, but Miley. I see the way you've been acting about this whole subject."

"I don't know what I want." I reply.

"Is this what you were talking about when you said Liam was being clueless?"

"I guess...it's probably stupid as fuck."

"Nope. I mean, it's hard to figure it out if you are or aren't thinking that way. And considering you said you didn't want one, it's hard to think about it. What would you do if you were...ya know, pregnant?"

"I have no idea. I'd tell Liam first, that's for sure. I don't know what I would do after that." I say.

"What do you mean? You'd make a doctor appointment, and you'd-"

"Noah, that's not what I meant. I meant I don't know what I'd do about...ugh, forget it. Everything is so confusing. Liam is gonna start filming in a movie in December, so if I got pregnant now he'd wanna quit the movie. I don't want him to quit, he's really excited about this."

"Well, it's a good thing you're not then huh?" Noah asks.

"It's a very good thing. Now, you can't tell him any part of our conversation. Got it?"

"Yes, Miley. I'm probably gonna forget about it later anyway, I've got Logan to take care of."

"Okay...well, I'll let you go home with Logan. Give him lots of kisses for me." I say with a smile.

"Bye, love you."

I hug Noah before she leaves the room. I hear her telling Liam goodbye before she left. Soon later, as I expected, Liam entered.

"Hey...am I allowed in yet?" Liam asks, sitting next to me.

"I guess so since you let yourself in, and it's your room too. Where are the kids?"

"Playing outside. Now, am I allowed in yet?"

"I said yes." I say, then sigh.

"What did you mean when you called me clueless earlier? Did I do something wrong?"

"No, I'm just being moody. I'm allowed to have bad days, I'm a mom of three that doesn't get many breaks."

"I completely agree. You are moody, and you are definitely allowed bad days. You deserve breaks, and it's gonna get even more chaotic when I'm gone." Liam replies.
