Chapter 4 Simple Song

3 Months Later

After three months of bed rest, Miley couldn't wait to get out of the hospital. Jenny came into her room around twelve thirty to discharge her. Miley was now seven months pregnant and had a ponderous stomach. Her family came and visited her everyday, but now she would go home. The twins were healthy and so was Miley.

Jenny wheeled her out since she had difficulty walking. Travis was there waiting for her to be wheeled out in his car. He got out and helped Jenny get her in the front seat. "Would you like to go to Babies R Us since we have nothing at all?"

"You mean to tell me, you didn't buy anything at all while I was on bed rest?" Miley laughed as Travis pulled out of the parking lot.

"I didn't know what I was getting."

"Of course you didn't." Miley threw her arms up in the air, before placing them on her ponderous stomach.

"Oh and my parents want us to come over for dinner tonight."

"Tell them to come to my house. My Dad is made reservation tonight at a really nice place and Lilly and Oliver are coming. It's kind of a celebration for me getting off bedrest. Oh and tell your parents I love them, they're so nice." Miley smiled.

"It's a good thing they took you being pregnant well." The rest of the car ride was silent except the radio playing. Travis soon pulled into the parking lot and got out of the car. He stared to walk to the door, when he realized Miley was still in the car. He walked back and opened her car door. "Did you forget something?"

"I've got to get used to you needing help walking." He laughed. He helped her out and helped her into the store. Miley grabbed a shopping cart, using it as a walker. They slowly walked down to the baby area. They pushed the cart down the "Baby care essentials" aisle. Miley picked up four packs of Huggies diapers, four packs of Johnson&Johnson's baby wipes, two boxes of bottle liners, four bottles of Johnson&Johnson's baby shampoo/body wash, two tubes of diaper cream, two bottles of Johnson&Johnson's baby lotion, two baby's first aid kits, two teething medicines, two infant medicine dispenser pacifier, and a baby thermometer.

"Ok let's go to the feeding aisle." Miley kept pushing the cart and stopped to pick up the items she needed. She picked up a bottle drying rack, a six pack bottle set, bottle nipples, a bottle warmer/cooler, a breast pump, five nursing bras, breast cream, a nursing wrap, a nursing pillow, two infant support pillows, a ten pack bib set, and a pack of burp clothes. "We need a high chair, but it's not going to fit in the cart."

"There's an empty cart right here. I'll take this one and put all the big stuff in here." Travis suggested, taking the cart and moving closer to where the highchairs were. "Choose the one you like."

"I like both of these." Miley said pointing to a pink highchair with brown polka dots and a brown highchair with big pink flowers on it.

"But we don't know if the twins are boy's girl's, a boy and a girl..."

"They're both girls." Miley interupted. "When I got my sonogram yesterday I couldn't wait anymore so I asked her what they were and she told me they were both girls."

"Oh my gosh and you did't tell me till now!"

"I wanted to wait and surprise you, but I accidently slipped." Miley laughed, biting her lower lip.

"Wow, two girls." Travis said. "Well I like the one with the flowers."

"Ok pick up two of those."

Travis picked up the two highchairs and put them in his cart. He then followed Miley into the clean and healthy aisle. She picked up baby detergent, hand sanitizers, an all purpose organic cleaner, and a purifier. She then walked down the saftey aisle where she picked up many things. Two saftey gates, a sound sleeper, two pink teethers, two baby monitors, two teddy bear night lights, two baby sunshades, two baby view auto mirrors, and eight pink pacifiers.

Miley then walked to the bath and potty aisle. There she got, two pink whale baby bathtubs, two pink baby robes with two octopie and slippers that match, two pink and white lamb towels, ten recieving blankets, a set of colorful washclothes, a tempature tester, and a bath organizer. She soon walked into the nursery aisle. "Travis we haven't set up a nursery yet!"

"Ok calm down. We'll start it tomorrow with Oliver and Lilly."

"Ok, we have to get bedding. I already ordered my cribs, while I was on bedrest. Lilly had brought me my laptop so I wasn't bored to death." Miley smiled, while passing the cribs.

"I know she showed me them. They're very nice. We have to get bedding right?"

"Yup," she nodded. She closely looked at all the bedding before picking one up. "I like this one." She said, before reading the product description in her head. It read:Little Bedding by NoJo 4 piece nursery crib bedding set . Frilly girls design in pink with appliqued butterfly and ladybug. Exceptional value offered in this 4 piece set which includes comforter, bumper guard, dust ruffle, and fitted crib sheet. Look for my matching blanket.

"That's cute." Travis agreed. "Two of those as well."

Miley put them in her almost full cart. She pushed the cart down a little and stopped to look at car seats. She left the cart to the side and hobbled over to this particular car seat. She carefully observed it. The car seat matched the highchairs. It was brown with two big pink flowers on it. The border of it was pink in the same flower pattern. "I like these ones. They match the highchairs."

"Those are cute. Do you have to get other furniture?"

"No I ordered all the furniture while on bedrest. I had nothing better to do." She nodded, as Travis pulled the car seat boxes into his cart. "But we do need a carriage. Specifically a double one. Oh this one matches the car seat and it's a double!"

"Alright I'll pick it up." Travis slowly lifted up the large heavy box, before placing it in the crowded cart. "What's next?"

"Umm... bouncers, which is the activity aisle, the next one." They walked to the next aisle and Miley looked at the bouncers, while Travis stood there watching her. He had no clue how to shop for thing like this. Maybe he should start reading books. I mean he is going to be a Dad in three months. Maybe even sooner since women who are pregnant with more than one usually go into labor early. "How about this one?"

"That's nice." This product description read: This adorable bouncer is all about the play! A baby activated toy bar keeps her focused on the fun with lights and melodies that play from the large plush flower. Two additional toys also entertain your little one along with soothing vibrations. Cradling seat design and 3 point harness keeps baby secure and comfortable. Toy bar is removable for easy access and seat pad is machine washable. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this item goes to support breast cancer awareness and research.

Travis put yet two more boxes into his cart. He followed Miley down the aisle over to the playmats. Miley automaticaly went over to one. She picked up a caterpillar shaped mat with a ring of toys over it, that played a calming melody. She put it in Travis's cart and picked up another one. "Miley you're not suppose t pick anything heavy up. Especially since you were on bedrest for three months."

"I'm fine." She said, walking towards a specific infant swing. She pointed to the Winnie The Pooh themed swing, signalling for Travis to pick two up. He did as noticed and followed Miley down to the baby clothes. She picked up a set of pink and purple onsies themed, "It's good to be me". She then walked down to another set of onsies. These was were animal themed and came with matching booties. "Ok now we need gowns."

"I think this one is adorable!" Travis called, holding up a set of gowns that had little bears on them.

"Those are cute, put them in the cart," Miley said. "Now we need one pieces."

"How do you know all these things?"

"They say a women becomes a Mother they second they get pregnant," She shrugged, putting her swollen hand on her belly and rubbing it calmly. Miley picked up two pink one pieces with two cupcakes on them and a ruffle on the waist. She then picked up a lady bug fotted romper. The romper was red with black polka dots randomly placed and a flower placed to the left. On the feet were ladybugs. She picked up two of those and continued to look. She picked up two pink one pieces that each had a chocolate cupcake with sprinkles on them. "Ok now were in the sets area. Oh my goodness! Look how cute!"

"That is really cute." Travis stared at the pink onesie with red and white polka dotted sleeves and neck and a stawberry in the middle with a matching pink skirt with strawberries on it. "Let's look at the dress, becuase you're probably going to get a lot of clothing sets as gifts."

"Good idea." Miley pushed the cart down to the dresses and was already attatched to one. "We have to get this!" She held up a white dress with purple and pink polka dots. On the waistline was a bow that was pink with white polka dots.

"Alright what's next?"

"We need swaddles." Miley replied. "How about these ones?"

"Everything is so girly." He laughed. "That is cute though," he stared at the swaddle with pink and orange flowers on it.

"Ok we have everything we need."

"What about for you? There's a pregnancy aisle. let's go down it." He led the way down the aisle looking through everything. He picked up 'preggie pops' to help with pains and discomfort, and a prenatal 'listen to your unborn baby' kit. "Now we're done."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Your total comes to $2009.39"

"Oh my gosh!" Miley's eyes widened with surprise. "Twins are expensive!"

"That's ok we'll be able to afford it."

"What is this?" Miley nervously inquried, pickng up a magazine with Hannah Montana on it. The title read, "What has happened to Hannah Montana?"

"We'll take that too. Here keep the change." Travis whispered handed an extra five dollar bill for the magazine. He pushed the cart full of bags out in the parking lot, following Miley who had her head in the magazine, looking for the page with her. He left the cart outside the car, while he helped Miley get in. She continued reading while he packed the car. He soon got in and Miley was still reading.

"I completly forgot about her! I was so distracted with everything else. People think I died!"

"Maybe you should leave it that way." Travis sweetly suggested.

"I can't! I have to tell the truth!" Miley broke down into tears. Travis knew the rest of these three months were going to be long.

"I have an idea. Let's forget about it for now and go shopping for you. You need new clothes."

"Ok." She let out a little smile and dropped the magazine.

That Evening

Miley wobbled down the steps to answer the door. The twist in front halter top, with a v-neck dress, complemented her straight shoulders. The above the knee length dress hugged every curve in her body. The dress was aqua blue and had a blue, green and brown tropical flower pattern. She opened the door to see Travis and Travis's parents, Tina and Tyler. "Hi come in, we're just waiting for Lilly and Oliver."

"It must feel so good to be off bed rest." Tina smiled sweetly.

"Yeah. But now I get tired after walking for even fifteen minutes." Miley's brown wedge with a knotted vamp, and elastic slingback clickd against the hard wooden floors, as she led the way to the couches.

"Hello." Robby Ray greeted, in his nice jeans and dress shirt. "How ya ol doing?"

"Good, how are you?"

"I'm doing just fine thanks." Robby Ray responded, before being interuptted by the doorbell.

"I'll get it." Miley called, slowly standing up. "Jake?"

Uh oh! Review to see what happens next. I'm so sorry I took forever to update. I thought I posted it a while ago, but apparently I didn't. I'd like to thank my reviewers! Oh and some of you may think it was rushed, but it was better this way then if I wrote her on bedrest. Hope you enjoyed! REVIEW!!!!
