Taylor's POV
"This is so lame," I mumbled, flipping through the pages of UsWeekly. Practically every single celebrity gossip magazine had mine and Joe's wedding on the cover, if not the exclusive five-page spreads. "That's what you get for marrying a Jonas brother," Miley joked. I laughed, "So true."
I sighed contentedly as I gazed down at my wedding ring. "It feels so strange," I said softly. Miley sat down across from me, "Well, yeah. After your breakup way back then, you and Joe hated each other's guts." I laughed, "Again, I can't argue with you there." She smiled.
"How far along are you now?" I inquired, stirring my glass of iced tea. Miley smiled brightly, "Almost four months. I'm getting pretty fat." I giggled, "How's Nick taking it?" She answered, "He's fine. I was pretty worried, since we planned to wait until Madlyn's at least four, but we're really happy. When are you and Joe planning to start a family?"
I choked on my drink and spluttered. Unhelpfully, Miley banged my back. "Thanks," I croaked sarcastically. She laughed, "You're welcome. Now, answer my question!" I stalled, "Um, uh, I don't know. We never really talked about it; I guess when it comes we'll take it." Miley rolled her eyes, "That is a very stupid line." I shrugged.
Miley's POV
"Baby girl, why don't you go to sleep now?" I whispered as I stroked back Madlyn's hair from her face. She shook her head stubbornly, "Uh-uh." I sighed, "Mommy's real tired, Madlyn." I could just kill Nick right now for going to recording at night. Madlyn threw a tantrum. I moaned, "Maddie, don't!" She ignored me and continued to wail.
I grabbed my cell phone and dialed Nick's number. He didn't pick up, even after I called him three times. Getting agitated, I dialed Joe. Thankfully, the dork answered, "Newlywed Jonas on the line." I rolled my eyes, "Joe, where's Nick?" He gave a low whistle, "Whew, baby bro's pissed wife on the phone. Wait, what's the screaming in the background?"
"That's why I need him! Madlyn's throwing a temper tantrum, and I'm exhausted. I can't sleep when she's screaming her head off," I shouted. "Sorry, but he's recording right at this very moment. I can't do anything," Joe snapped. "Augh!" I shrieked. "Fine, whatever. Tell him to call me back. Bye." I hung up and threw my phone across the wall, staring as it crumbles into pieces. "Guess the stupid husband just has to buy me a new one," I grumbled.
Nick's POV
"Who were you talking to on the phone?" I asked curiously as I walked out of the recording booth. Joe smiled, "Your wife." I raised an eyebrow, "Why?" My brother shrugged, "She said she called you three times but you didn't answer, and so she called me. It's Madlyn, she doesn't want to sleep, your wife's exhausted, and your kid's screaming her head off. And I also have a stinking suspicion that she threw her phone against the wall."
I sighed, "I knew I shouldn't have come for night recording." Joe grinned. "I know. You better get home fast and on your way, buy her a new cell phone," he joked. I rolled my eyes and grabbed my car keys.
I parked my car in front of the gate and handed the keys to one of the night guards to park. I walked up the driveway and drove my key into the lock. As I entered the house, I heard my daughter screaming.
"Miley? Maddie?" I asked. "In here," a weary voice belonging to my distraught wife called out from the nursery. I quickened my pace and stood in the entry of the nursery. "I'm so sorry," I apologized, kissing my wife gently. She started to wail, "You shouldn't have left me alone!" I enveloped her into my arms as she cried softly.
"How bad was it?" I whispered. Miley pinched me, "Don't ask." I sighed as I untangled her from my arms. "Madlyn Elena, what were you doing to your Mommy?" I asked sternly as I picked my screaming toddler off the floor. She turned her tear-stained face toward me and shook her head. I narrowed my eyes at her until she nodded. "You were really naughty weren't you?" she nodded again and yawned.
I gently settled her inside the crib and pulled the covers around her tiny waist. I turned on the animal baby mobile and started to pat her back gently. Within minutes, Madlyn was fast asleep. "There," I said, clearly satisfied. Suddenly, Miley started to cry again. I turned, alarmed, "Mi, honey?" She screeched, "She loves you best!" I chuckled softly as I led her out of the room.
Miley's POV
"I'm so excited! I have never done this before," Jennifer gushed. I smiled, "You're gonna have a great time. It's really awesome." This year, Jennifer had been chosen to host the Teen Choice Awards. Suddenly, my face crumpled.
"Miley?" Sel said softly, touching my arm. I wailed, "I can't go to the TCA!" Taylor's forehead puckered in confusion, "Why not?" I sniffed, "I'll be too fat already." I saw Demi roll her eyes, "We went through this too many times already when she was pregnant with Madlyn." I scowled.
"Miley, pregnant women are beautiful," Taylor said coaxingly. I narrowed my eyes, "Yeah, right. I'm fat, my back hurts like hell, I'm hungry and exhausted. What the heck is so pretty 'bout that, huh?" The girls fell silent. "Um, it's all for a good cause?" Emily suggested. I frowned, "This isn't charity!"
Joe's POV
"Hi, babe. I miss you," I felt a smile grow on my face as my wife greeted me on the phone. "Hey, sweetie. What's going on there?" I asked. She replied flatly, "Miley's throwing a temper tantrum. What else is new?" I laughed, "I swear, Nick should take paternity leave." She laughed with me.
After saying our goodbyes, I turned to Nick, "My wife is planning to lodge a complaint against your wife." He sighed, "Don't tell me—she's complaining that she's too fat already." I raised an eyebrow, "A musician and a psychic. Pretty good, bro." He rolled his eyes, "Whatever. God, she's worse now than she was when she was pregnant with Madlyn." I shrugged, "Can't help you. Don't have no kids."
"Speaking of which, when are you gonna have kids? You're not getting any younger, Joe," my brother said smoothly, enjoying watching me squirm. I spluttered awkwardly, "Well, Tay never said anything. I guess we'll have one sometime." Nick rolled his eyes, "If I said that to Miley, I'd be performing with a black eye!" I smirked.
Miley's POV
"I'm so excited," I squealed as I hugged Selena goodbye. I and Nick had dropped Madlyn off at her house before heading out to the doctor's office to find out the sex of our baby. "Come on, Miles, we're gonna be late." Nick said. I nodded and gave Madlyn one final kiss on the top of her head. "Be good for Aunt Lena, okay?" I instructed before Nick pulled me down the drive.
"Looking good, Mrs. Jonas," Dr. Benson smiled as he greeted me and Nick. He extended his hand and Nick shook it. "We're here to find out the gender." I informed him before lying down on the examining table. He nodded briefly, "Of course. Well, you know the procedure," he smiled, handing me a cotton robe. I rolled my eyes before grabbing it. Nick smiled, clearly amused.
"Well, how's little Madlyn now?" Dr. Benson asked as he prepared the equipment. I smiled at Nick's heart-melting expression, "Oh, she's wonderful. Such a happy little girl." The doctor smiled, "I hope you have some love left over for this baby." My husband blushed as I giggled.
"Alright, so here's the heartbeat. A very healthy baby," Dr. Benson noted, moving the wand over my stomach. My eyes automatically filled with tears as the steady heartbeat filled my heart. "You need some time?" He asked awkwardly. A watery laugh escaped my lips, "Judging by the amount I cry whenever I get here, you'd wear your legs out leaving the room." He and Nick laughed.
"So?" Nick's leg was jiggling up and down nervously. The doctor smiled, "Madlyn will be having a baby sister. Congratulations." I turned to Nick and a warm glow flooded my body as I saw how excited he was. I smiled and he smiled back.
Selena's POV
"She's wearing you down," I laughed as I watched Taylor chasing Madlyn around the backyard. He caught up with her hair and both of them fell onto the grass. My boyfriend laughed, "She is, but she's so much fun!" He tickled her and she fell back, giggling. I shook my head and was about to join them until I heard a car pulling up in front of the gate.
"Mommy! Daddy!" Madlyn hurtled into Nick's waiting arms. He kissed her cheek happily, "Hi, there, Madlyn. What did you do today?" Wordlessly, the almost-two-year-old pointed in Taylor's direction. Miley laughed, "I'm sure you had tons of fun bullying Taylor!" Maddie grinned.
"So, how did the appointment go?" I asked impatiently as I finished tucking Madlyn's stuff into her diaper bag. Miley smiled, "We're having another baby girl." My eyes lit up, "Oh my gosh, that's great!" I threw my arms around her. She laughed, "Nick would so kill you if he saw that." I giggled.
"So, how do I look?" I asked as I twirled in front of Taylor. We were on our way to the premiere of his new movie, A Love-Hate Relationship. Although I felt uncomfortable with his on-screen chemistry with his co-star, Bridgit (A/N: Think 'Mendler. ;), at the start, I discovered that she was really a lovely girl and had no intention whatsoever to come between Tay and me.
Taylor took in my appearance. A strapless white Marchesa clung to my body perfectly, with a knee-length chiffon skirt. Black velvet trim adorned the top of the dress. I wore black patent high heels matched with a black clutch. My long, flowing dark curls had been swept back into an elegant chignon.
"You look beautiful, Selena," Taylor said in awe, kissing my gently. I pulled back and smiled into his deep chocolate eyes. "Thanks. I love you." I whispered. I slipped my hand into mine as we walked out the door.
"That was crazy!" Bridgit yelled over the noise as we managed to make our way into the theater. I smiled, "I know! You look awesome, by the way." She flushed a delicate pink, "Not compared to you." It was my turn to look embarrassed; Taylor looked at me proudly.
"You look good in this scene," I whispered quietly to my boyfriend. He smiled, "Thanks. Hey, I got to run to the men's room for a while. I'll be right back." He quietly got up from his seat and made his way into the aisle. I continued to watch the movie. I realized that quite a lot of people had left the theater. The movie was good; didn't they like it? Suddenly, the lights and the movie went off.
Confused, I turned behind me to check if Joe and Tay were still sitting there. They weren't. "Augh, figures," I muttered, frustrated. The door to the entrance of the theater yawned open, and a troop of people holding candles walked in single file down the aisle. I recognized Joe and his wife, Demi, Taylor's sister Makena and Jen among others I became even more confused when they stopped at the entrance to my row.
Slowly, Taylor emerged from the group. He made his way to my seat carefully. As his eyes met mine, a jolt of electricity shot through my body. He slowly got down on one knee. My breath caught in my throat. By this time, practically the whole theater was watching, much to my embarrassment. But I was so dazed, I barely noticed.
He smiled bashfully at me and I can't help but smile back. He looked so adorably awkward. "Selena Marie, we've been through some ups and downs. We had a fling, but at that time, neither of us realized that we were meant to be. So, I'm going to make you realize by asking you this—Selena, will you marry me?" A 24-carat, cushion-cut diamond ring rested on his palm.
"Yes!" He gently slipped the ring onto my finger and kissed me tenderly as the audience's cheers rang in our ears. "I love you," I said softly before resting my head on his shoulder.
Miley's POV
"Oh my God!" I shrieked. Nick bolted upright in bed, "What? What?" I pointed to the screen of my laptop, "Read this new update on Selena's Twitter!" My husband wearily obliged, and his eyes flew wide open after reading the tweet. Selena had tweeted just fifteen minutes ago: "He asked me, and I said yes." (A/N: Corny, I know, but there was nothing else that I could think of, lol.)
"Well, don't get too excited. It could mean anything," Nick said rationally, running his hand through his hair. I shook my head stubbornly, "I know it means something! I should call her." I dialed Selena's number and she answered on the third ring, "Hello?"
"Selena Marie Gomez, what did your tweet mean?" I shot. There was a pause on her side of the phone, before she declared, "I'm engaged!" I screeched loudly and Nick winced. Selena laughed, "I would tell you the details, but I'm sure since he proposed at a massive movie premiere, it'll be all over the tabloids by tomorrow morning." I giggled. "True, but won't you please come over anyway? I wanna hear the real details," I insisted. "Alright. You better get some sleep, Miles. Gotta go; bye." There was a click as she hung up.
"Taylor proposed to her," I informed Nick. He smiled, "That's wonderful. He really loves her, I can see that. They're perfect." I teased, "No, we're perfect!" Both of us laughed.
