Miley's POV 

"Boys remember I won't be home when you get home from school." I tell the boys as they pick up their backpacks.

"Why?" Bentley asks.

"Because I have somewhere to be."

"Where?"

"Ben stop asking so many questions."

"I only asked two questions!"

"It's fine Jo, he's just curious. I have a doctor appointment."

"Oh, are you sick?"

"No, I'm not sick. I'll tell you later today okay?" I still haven't told anyone else I'm pregnant. I figured I'd tell Cameron and Bentley after my appointment today.

"Okay."

"Alright let's get going, don't forget your lunches boys."

After I dropped Bentley and Cameron off at their school I drove Jonah to middle school.

"Is the appointment for the baby?" Jonah asks me.

"Yeah, I have another ultrasound to see how the baby is doing."

"How are you doing?"

"Surprisingly I've been feeling better. No more problems with me feeling nauseous and I've got my energy back." I answer.

"That's good. That is good, right?"

"Yeah it's good. Hopefully this pregnancy will be a lot easier than you and your brothers. Well, you should get going before you're late."

"Okay. Good luck today mom."

"Thanks Jo, see you later."

"Yup, bye."

I got home and sat on the couch. I turned on the TV and chose a show. While I was watching TV my phone started to ring. Why is Liam calling me?

"Hey." I answer.

"Hi."

"What's up?"

"When is your appointment for today?" He asks.

"It's at 2:30, like I've told you before."

"Dammit."

"What? Why dammit?" Liam sighs, I already know where this is going. "You can't make it can you?"

"I thought it was earlier than that."

"What the hell did you do? Liam you fucking knew my appointment was today. You fucking insisted on coming with. I finally feel fine with you coming and now you're not gonna fucking make it? Are you?" I reply.

"I thought it was earlier-"

"Stop fucking saying that, I fucking get it. What the fuck happened?!"

"My manager called, there's a roll for a movie he thinks I'd be great at. He set me up for an audition at 2:00. I'm reading the script right now."

"You have got to be fucking kidding me! Liam if you wanna be involved then you need to fucking show up when you say you will!"

"I know and I'm gonna call my manager. I'm gonna tell him I need to change the time."

"No. Ya know what? If this baby was really important to you and you really cared, you wouldn't have forgotten about the appointment time. Just fucking forget it, go to your stupid fucking audition! I'm going without you!"
