Miley's POV

Today is another doctor appointment. It was supposed to be a week ago, at week sixteen, but Liam got caught filming. I didn't want him to miss it, so I rescheduled. I think we're gonna find out the gender today, I'm so excited. We've kept each ultrasound picture and wrote what week it was on the back of each one. It may seem crazy, but we still haven't told anyone. Not a single soul. I just have anxiety about something happening. Everything is going great so far, I'm even showing a little. That's why we're going to tell everyone, family first of course. I'm debating whether the happiest will be Noah or mom. I don't think mom knows about the arguments I've had with Liam over the topic, so maybe Noah might be more excited. Or mom, she wouldn't be expecting a thing. Noah would be excited but expect it after I tell everyone. I don't know, I'll see when it happens. I still can't believe it. It's been twelve whole weeks since I found out, but I'm just so fucking happy. Sure, we weren't planning on it til Liam was done filming, but he'll be nearly done when the baby comes...well, hopefully. Once we know the gender, we can start thinking about names. We've got the crib, changing table, and highchair all picked out. We haven't bought it yet, obviously because no one knows. We've got the spare room all clean and ready for everything though.

Currently Liam and I were in a room waiting for Dr. Walsh. He was standing next to me, as usual. I was nervous because I really want a boy. I mean having a girl is completely fine, but I don't want Leonardo to be the only boy. And I know how much Liam wants another son. He doesn't say anything, but I know.

"So, do you think it's gonna be a boy or girl?" I ask.

"Well I don't know."

"I know you don't know, but what do you think it's gonna be?"

"Well, I think you know how much I want a boy...I'm hoping it's a boy...I think the odds will be in my favor and it'll be a boy."

"You totally just quoted hunger games..." Liam smirks, making me smile. "I want a boy too. I think it's gonna be a boy, and I'm pretty sure."

"How would you know?" He asks, being skeptical.

"I'm carrying the baby, I can just sense these things. Remember how I knew Jessy was gonna be a girl?"

"Lucky guess. There's only two genders to pick from."

"You don't know because you weren't there, but I predicted I was gonna have one boy and one girl when I was pregnant with the twins."

"Okay fine, maybe you can have a hunch. I'll only be impressed if you're right this time. But I'm hoping you're right anyway, for the sake of you having a boy."

"I really want a boy." I agree. "Jesus what's taking so long, I swear-" before I could finish my sentence, Dr. Walsh comes in the room.

"Hello, I'm sorry you had to wait so long." Dr. Walsh says.

"It's fine, Liam and I were just discussing whether it's a boy or girl."

"Well if you'd like to find out, we can today. Go ahead and lie back Miley."

"Oh my god, Liam I'm so nervous."

"She hasn't even started yet, babe, relax."

As I looked at the baby on the screen, I couldn't contain my excitement. There was a smile on my face, a big smile. I looked at Liam, and he was smiling too. Dr. Walsh looked at the screen, looking like she was concentrating pretty hard.

"It's a little harder to see, but it's visible. So if you look here," Dr. Walsh says, pointing at a certain spot on the screen. "right here you can see you're having a boy."
