I Knew You Were Trouble

Miley's POV

I made my first doctor appointment for today at 2:15. Thankfully Liam only filmed a little earlier today, so he can be with me. I'm so nervous it's making me nauseous, but maybe it's the baby making me do that. I'm still having my symptoms early. Not as bad though, just the occasional morning sickness and fatigue.

"I'm so glad it's finally here, we can finally see and hear the baby. Well we won't see much, but we'll be able to hear our baby." Liam says excitedly. I think he might be happier than me.

"Liam, relax. We don't have to leave yet, it's only barely 1:30. I am excited though. Wait, the kids. They get out at 2:30, we'll barely make it to the school. No, we'll be late."

"I called their teachers earlier. They all said they can watch the kids for a few minutes while we're on our way."

"You didn't tell them why, did you?" I ask.

"No, I said you had a doctor appointment. That's all I said, doctor appointment."

"As long as no one knows until I'm ready."

"I'm gonna go make myself a sandwich, want one?"

"Yeah, but could you bring it in here? I woke up feeling like I didn't sleep, I'm super tired."

"No problem." He says before disappearing into the kitchen. He comes back with two sandwiches. He sets mine in front of me and sits next to me with his. I don't know what the fuck he put in his sandwich but holy shit did it stink.

"Oh my god Liam. What did you put in your sandwich?"

"What are you talking about? It's one of the ones I usually make, the ranch chickpea sandwich. You usually love it."

"I'm usually not pregnant. I think that's what it is...oh my god, you made a sandwich that I can't even eat."

"It's fine, don't worry. I should've asked what kind of sandwich you wanted, I just figured if I made the same for both of us it'd be easier. I can make you something else, what do you want?"

"The ability to eat what I want without getting sick...just a wrap, I don't care what kind." I say.

"That's kind of a bad idea. I don't wanna pick something that makes you sick again."

"Okay fine, just do one of your vegetable wraps...Ooh, add some spicy hummus."

"You sure about the spicy hummus?"

"Uhm, yeah."

"Is it okay for the baby-"

"Liam for fucks sake, if it wasn't good for the baby I wouldn't ask you to make it! Damn."

"I'm sorry, I just wasn't sure." Liam says defensively.

"Mhm." Liam takes my sandwich into the kitchen, and later comes out with the wrap which smelled delicious. He hands it to me and sits next to me so he can continue to eat.

"Good?" After I take a bite, I nod. "That's good."

"I'm sorry I was a bitch." I say after I swallow my bite. "This pregnancy is gonna be so fun for the both of us."

"In some ways, it can be. You just gotta be positive."

"Damn you're always a positive person aren't you."

"You normally are. It's just this pregnancy that's freaking you out. Now eat your sandwich so we can get ready."
