A Wish Your Heart Makes

Families

Y/N's POV

Walking into the living room I notice Gracens not laying in the floor coloring anymore. As I make my way downstairs to the lower level I hear the faint sound of a piano and my beautiful girlfriend singing. Slowly opening the door my heart melts.

Gracen and Demi are sitting in front the piano and it looks like Demi has given her a certain spot to play and taught her a part of the song.

I'm losing myself
Trying to compete
With everyone else
Instead of just being me.

Don't know where to turn.
I've been stuck in this routine.
I need to change my ways
Instead of always being weak.

I don't wanna be afraid.
I wanna wake up feeling beautiful today,
And know that I'm OK
'Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways.
You see, I just wanna believe in me.

Demi and Gracen both have huge smiles on their face so of course I have to record some of this.

The mirror can lie,
Doesn't show you what's inside.
And it—it can tell you you're full of life.
It's amazing what you can hide
Just by putting on a smile.

Demi laughs as Gracen hits the wrong key and immediately looks at Demi. Demi only acts confused and waits for Gracen to pick up the song.

I don't wanna be afraid.
I wanna wake up feeling beautiful today,
And know that I'm OK
'Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways.
You see, I just wanna believe in me.

I'm quickly finding out.
I'm not about to break down.
Not today.
I guess I always knew
That I had all the strength to make it through.

Not gonna be afraid.
I'm gonna wake up feeling beautiful today,
And know that I'm OK
'Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways.
You see, now—now I believe in me.

The two loves of my life are staring into each other's eyes when they whisper the last line of the song.

Now I believe in me.

I couldn't help myself I just start clapping. Both of their heads turn towards the intrusion.

"Gracie Bell I told you she was almost done. What're you doing down here?" She just looks at Demi waiting for her to answer.

"Actually babe, that was all me. I got done a little early and I showed Gracie a new chord on guitar and she wanted to learn piano. So that's my fault." They both look up at me sheepishly as I make my way to the across the room.

I lean down to kiss my daughter on the cheek and then I move on to my girlfriend. Kissing her gently.

"I just didn't want her to interrupt you." I tell Demi. Until Gracen decides that there are things I need to know.

"Momma says I can come down here with her anytime I want. Momma said I'm gettin better at music! I'm gonna be really good right momma?" Our daughter says as she looks expectantly at Momma.

"Yeah momma, tell us." I point it out that in the last month Gracen and Demi have only become closer especially with the new found name. And Demi has taken into the roll like she's been here from the beginning. The tantrums, the fun, the timeouts. She's always there by my side.

"I did say that babe, you're gonna be awesome. We just have to practice more. So if I'm in here then as soon as I'm done working you should be here practicing."

I laugh as Gracie goes right back to tapping the keys on the piano.

"Okay superstars. Dinner in 30. Dont forget Nana and Pa, and Grandma and Grandpa are coming over for dinner so don't be late!" I remind both my girls and send them a wink as I make my way back to the kitchen.

Dinner went fantastic. My parents and Demi's parents get along so well. My mom and dad are with Gracie outside right now playing on her play set that Demi demanded we buy. It was actually adorable. She just wants Gracen to have fun stuff. As we walk out to the back yard and find our shared lounger I can't help but smile. This is truly what life's all about. Me cuddling with my amazing girlfriend. My parents pushing our daughter on the swing. It's a dream.

"Momma!" I hear Gracen call out. It isn't til I see the look on my parents faces that I realize I haven't told them about Gracen calling Demi Momma. I know they won't care a bit because I'm pretty sure they love her and Gracen more than me so. I just let it slide.

"Yeah baby? What's up?" Demi answers. The smile on the 5 year olds face already tells me what she's gonna ask.

"Can you jump on the trampoline so we can show Nana and Pa our trick? Groaning Demi gets up. "I never should've started that stupid popcorn game." I can't even stop the laughter.

Demi, Gracen, and my mom make their way to the trampoline and my dad comes and sets by me.

"Momma huh?" He asks quietly.

"Yeah, it's kind of new. But Gracen loves it. And Demi is a great mom." I shrug. "We love her dad."

He smiles a little bit. "I'm gonna say this once. And then I'm not saying anything else." I look at him confused. "Demi called me a few days after it started. She was ecstatic. A stuttering mess let me tell you. But she said that Gracen called her Momma and that her heart knew that that was her new number one priority. She told me that it felt wrong in a way because in any other relationship it should be the girlfriend. She was worried because she was putting Gracen before everyone and everything. I had to explain to her that's what mommas do. That's how I knew she was going to be the best Momma to my Bell. She loves you Y/N, more than anything in the world. And she loves that little girl." We both glance at them laughing and having a blast on the trampoline. "I just want you to know that she's in it for the long haul. She's we're she wants to be. And don't think for a second that me and your mother are even remotely upset about her calling Demi momma. You know if we had a choice we'd pick those two anyways." My dad says as he gets up and kisses my head.

"Thanks dad" I say as I roll my eyes. Looking at him seriously I repeat myself. "Really, thanks for everything dad." He nods his head before grabbing my hand. "Come on, let's go see your girls before I take my girl and Bell home. She's still spending the night right?"

God I almost forgot. Demi is releasing a new song tomorrow morning and wanted me to go with her to her performance. I nod my head at him.

This life is heaven. A girlfriend. A perfect daughter. Amazing parents. My girlfriends parents. Demi's releasing an album after this single. Then the tour. We're a little nervous for that but we will make. I have no doubts.
