Miley's POV

The kids were at school while Noah was over at the house. She and I were talking about everything that's happened. So much has happened in such little time.

"Jessica really said that to you?" Noah asks, shocked. I told her about what Jessica had said to me.

"Yeah, she really did. It shocked me too."

"She's only ten, why is she starting to act like a teenager?"

"I don't know but I'm not looking forward to when she actually is a teenager. You should've seen the way Cece comforted Leo though, it was so cute."

"Do they have that special twin bond?"

"Yeah." I answer.

"Do all twins get that?"

"I don't know, I've heard twins get it. Cece and Leo didn't really act like they did until lately. They did when they were little but then it stopped, now I think they are again. It's probably different for everyone."

"Was it hard?"

"Was what hard?"

"Having the twins? And raising them?" Noah asks.

"Well yeah, it definitely hurt having them cause it was two babies instead of one. Raising them was kinda hard yeah, but I had Liam to help me. It was a little harder cause Liam and I weren't living together but he came over and spent a lot of nights. It's a lot harder when they start to crawl and walk cause there's two of them to watch. Why do you ask?"

"Oh well I was just curious. Do you wanna know how it went at the doctor?"

"Duh! Tell me everything."

"Well Ethan and I were really nervous when we got there. When I went in for my ultrasound I found out I'm actually eleven weeks."

"How's the baby? Everything good?" I ask.

"Yeah, everything is great. Both babies are healthy." My mouth drops open in shock. What?

"Noah! Did you say both?! Oh my god twins?! That's awesome!" I hug her, then smile. "That's so cool."

"Yeah, that's why I was asking about the twins. Ethan and I sure didn't expect to see that. Ethan didn't tell me til we got home after the appointment, but apparently he's got a lot of twins on his side of the family."

"Congrats Noah, that's so awesome. I know you can't find out yet but what do you want?"

"I want twin girls, Ethan wants one of each. He's afraid he'll get them mixed up." Noah replies, making me laugh.

"I'm sure he won't mix them up. Apparently parents can always tell them apart."

"I'm so fucking nervous. I mean, in like six or seven months we're gonna have two babies. Two."

"Noah, I know you're gonna do great. You're an awesome mom to Logan, you're gonna be an awesome mom to these babies. Logan is gonna be a great big brother."

"I hope he doesn't get jealous...did Jessica?"

"Noah you can't compare Logan to Jessica. He's about the same age as she was when the twins were born, but that doesn't mean he's gonna be like her. Jessica was a little jealous though, but she got used to it. Especially when she could start playing with them, she loved it when they played. I'm sure Logan will be great, even if he's a little jealous. You just gotta explain to him that the babies are gonna need you more because they won't be able to feed themselves. Let Logan help with some stuff, that might make it better." I explain.
