Miley's POV

I had just woken up from a surprisingly good sleep. I was having my breakfast while I waited for Liam to get back home from taking the kids to school. Today is their first day back, and I'm very grateful for that. I love the kids to death but it's tiring, especially now.

"I'm home." I hear Liam say. He walks into the kitchen and kisses the top of my head. "I thought you were still sleeping."

"I was sleeping when you left, I woke up a while ago. I made myself some breakfast all by myself while you were gone, because for some stupid reason you never let me make my breakfast. So ha."

"I don't let you make breakfast because I want you to just sit and relax."

"I'm so sick of just sitting and relaxing. I do enjoy it, but sometimes it's too much. I wanna be able to do things."

"You already do things."

"Yeah but I'm constantly being told "sit down and relax, I'll get it babe". All the fucking time." I reply.

"I do suppose you should do more stuff you wanna do. The baby will be here in just a month, you should do what you wanna do before the baby comes and you can't do it anymore. I'm being a little protective, I know."

"It's okay though, you just care so much. You're a great dad already."

"You know what? I am, let's have another baby together." Liam says, making me laugh.

"Oh, let's."

"Babe you sure did sleep good last night, and you slept through the kids arguing."

"I kinda woke up a little, but not completely cause I heard you handling it so I went back to sleep."

"Gee thanks."

"What were they even arguing about?" I ask.

"I wanna sit by the baby, no I wanna sit by the baby, no I wanna sit by the baby..."

"He isn't even here yet and they're already fighting about who's sitting next to him. This should be fun..."

"Don't worry, I got it handled. I told them all that they can take turns sitting by the baby." He explains.

"And that worked?"

"Do you doubt the fact I can handle the kids?" He pauses and sighs. "Alright fine, I also told them that if they couldn't stop arguing I was gonna get you involved."

"That worked? What the fuck, are they afraid of me or something?"

"Babe, they just don't wanna upset you because Cody will be here very soon and they want you to be calm. They aren't scared of you."

"I guess that is a good idea." I agree. "Thanks for not getting me involved."

"You're welcome. You were sleeping pretty good, I didn't wanna wake you at all." Liam stands up and takes my plate away.

"Hey, I was gonna take care of that."

"It's fine Miley."

"Fine, then I'm going to go take a shower and no you are not allowed to follow me."

"I'll be in the living room." He says as I walk into our bedroom.

After my shower I just got into some pajamas because I have no reason or desire to put on clothes. I walked into the living room and saw Liam watching TV.
