Miley's POV

"I'm pregnant." I say. The kids looked shocked, they definitely weren't expecting that as an answer.

"Oh my god really mom?!" Jessica asks.

"Yeah, really."

"I thought you guys stopped with the whole baby thing."

"I changed my mind. Back in February dad and I decided to try again. Just once more."

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Leonardo asks. I know he wants a brother so bad and I do too. Liam and I both want a boy.

"I don't know yet Leo, the baby has to be bigger for us to know. I'm only six weeks."

"How big is the baby?"

"Ya know what a blueberry looks like? Well, about that size."

"No way!" Cecilia exclaims in disbelief.

"Yes way. And it'll grow all the way into a baby, pretty cool huh?" The kids nod with smiles on their faces. "Okay kids, go play. But please keep this a secret. Dad and I don't want anyone to know yet. We weren't even planning on telling you kids til later." They all nod in agreement. The twins get up and go outside, but Jessica stays seated on the couch.

"What is it Jessica?" Liam asks.

"I get it now. Why you said no to the dog. I have to admit, before you explained why I felt a little upset. We really wanted to show you how responsible we can be." She says.

"Sorry Jessica. If I wasn't pregnant and we weren't trying, we probably would have said yes."

"Don't be sorry, I'm so excited I'm getting another little brother or sister. I hope the baby will be a boy, Leo should have a brother to play with."

"That's exactly what we both think too. But we can't choose the gender."

"I know. Okay I'm gonna go outside now."

"Have fun."

Jessica leaves and goes outside and I look at Liam and smile.

"Well they seem excited." Liam says.

"Yeah, I was worried they'd be upset about not being able to get a dog."

"Well they were more excited about another sibling."

"When should we tell everyone?"

"Hold on Miley, normally it's you that's telling me to wait."

"I'm just excited. I'm really really excited. I do know we should wait a while." I say.

"How long are you thinking?"

"I know it's a while to wait but I wanna wait til I'm almost done with my first trimester."

"Are you sure you can wait that long? You seem pretty eager to tell everyone."

"I know, but I just wanna make sure everything is okay. I may be excited, but I just want everything to be okay."

"Miley, everything is gonna be fine." Liam says reassuringly.

"I know it most likely will be, but you can't blame me for having some doubts."

"No I can't, you have every right to have some doubts. But please don't have too many doubts, leave room for belief and faith. And excitement."

"I am excited, I'm so fucking excited."

"Me too. How funny would it be if we had twins again?"

"Ha ha ha ha!" I say sarcastically. "No."
