Stories We Could Tell

Malibu, USA

Miley's POV

"Miley, it's the 23rd and you still haven't talked to Liam..." Noah tells me as I walk into the kitchen for some breakfast.

"Hey Logan." I completely ignore Noah and kiss Logan on his head. "Look at you all grown up and in a booster seat."

"Yeah he hates his highchair now. But don't ignore me and change the subject Miley. It's the 23rd and you still haven't said a word to Liam."

"When it was me he didn't say anything and he took off to Austrailia."

"Yeah maybe, but you're better than that. Don't you think the kids miss you?" I sigh and nod. I know she's right, but I really don't wanna see Liam.

"Yes, I'm sure they do. And I don't even know what Liam told them." I reply.

"He wouldn't lie to them though, would he?"

"No, I don't think so. If anyone of them asked where I was he'd say here, and if they ask why he'll probably just say I want some time with you, or he and I aren't agreeing on something."

"Well that's good. Are you gonna go see them?" She asks.

"I don't know. Part of me wants to, really wants to, but another part of me doesn't wanna even look at Liam."

"Why the hell would he bring up the I want another baby and then say I slept with someone? As if you weren't upset already."

"I don't even know if he cares anymore."

"Don't say that, of course Liam cares."

"Why would he cheat on me?" I reply.

"Maybe he was drinking...it happens-"

"Are you seriously gonna defend him? Noah what the hell."

"No, no I'm not defending him. I wouldn't ever defend him in a situation like this. I was just telling you that because maybe it was an accident. I'm sure he didn't wanna cheat on you."

"I know he didn't want to, if he wanted to he wouldn't be texting me every five minutes. I know it was a mistake, but that doesn't make it okay. He really hurt me Noah."

"I know he did, and that isn't okay." She says. "You really should talk to him though."

"You done Logan?" I pick up Logan's plate and mine and put it in the dishwasher, ignoring Noah again.

"Whatever, if you aren't ready to talk to him yet I guess that's fine. But I have a doctor appointment today so I need you to watch Logan."

"Okay that's fine. We'll have fun won't we?" I ask Logan and he smiles and nods.

"Yes."

"Is Ethan going with? Where is he?"

"Work, and yeah, it's during his lunch break. He asked to get a few extra minutes so he can come with."

"I bet you're so excited to be a big brother Logan."

"He is so excited." Noah confirms. "Any time he hears Ethan and me talking about the babies he runs into the room to join the conversation."

"That's great. Are you gonna find out the genders today?"

"If they're in a good position yeah. Ethan and I are so ready to find out, we're both so excited."

"Two brothers." Logan says excitedly, making me smile.

"Well we're gonna find out today. So be good for aunt Miley while I'm gone okay?"
