The "Queen" of North Dallas High School, Demetria Devonne Lovato, is handed her third F in Maths. Education used to be important to Demi until popularity stumbled her way.
Odell Beckham Jr, if you were to put him in a high school category, he would...
"Our gorgeous little Novalee Eve" I smiled; my heart full of pride as I watched Demi with our daughter. I have a daughter. I have a daughter with Demi Lovato. "You were so worth all the pain, Beautiful" and she really is beautiful.

"I can't believe we made her" Demi lightly giggled as she glanced to me, keeping Nova in her arms. "I think she is the most beautiful baby ever" Demi puckered her lips and I leant to kiss her.
"We're parents, Odell."
"I know" she flashed me a smile and then glanced back down at Nova who lay fast asleep in her arms.
Novalee Eve Beckham was born July 2nd at 19:42. She weighed 6lb 8oz and was 19 inches long. She's also perfect. She's my everything already. I will protect her for the rest of my life.
"Our lives are going to change so much now that you're here, Little Miss, but your daddy and I love you so much" the smile on my face widened and I felt elated at the word 'daddy.' I'm a dad. "You will forever be protected, Nova" I leant into Demi and pressed a kiss to her temple. Her lips twitched at the corners. "I am so tired" I lightly laughed as I stroked a strand of hair behind her ear. "I didn't realise how truly tiring this would be."
"Why don't you try and get some sleep? I can watch Nova."
"You sure?"
"I'm her dad, Demi. I'm sure, we'll be fine, won't we, Princess?" Demi gently handed me Nova and I smiled as I cradled her against my naked chest. Skin to skin contact and all. "Hi Beautiful" Demi winced as she adjusted herself on the bed. "You okay, Babe?"
"Yeah, I just ache a lot" she curled her arm beneath her head and watched us with a light smile.
"You have the most amazing mommy, Nova. You're going to be so lucky" I pressed a kiss to Nova's soft head. I glanced to Demi, laughing quietly at her gentle snores. "Your mommy is so beautiful. She's caring and loving, she's funny and she loves you so much already, Princess. You want to help daddy with his little plan?" I pushed myself up from the chair, shushing gently as Nova gently whimpered. "You're okay, Baby" I headed for the diaper bag and rummaged through it until I found the sleeper. Thankfully, she didn't cry too much whilst I changed her, and even when she did, it wasn't loud enough for Demi to hear and wake up too. "What do you think mommy will say, Beautiful?" I questioned as I lifted her back into my arms. Her hand clasped around my fingertip and I smiled as I gently kissed her forehead. She began to gently cry, the sound breaking my heart a little. "Well, you're not wet because I've just changed you so I'm guessing you need some food. Mommy's only been asleep for half an hour, Nova" her cries just seemed to louden like she understood what I was saying. I sighed and headed for Demi who stirred as I gently caressed the side of her face. "Baby, I think she's hungry" she grumbled, her eyes opening into slits. "I'm really sorry, Baby."
"S'okay" she mumbled as she sat up on the bed and gently took Nova from me. I helped her to get her situated and smiled as Nova instantly began to feed. I've never felt so proud.
"I'm so proud of you" she gently smiled as I kissed her temple.
We sat in silence as Nova fed, it wasn't until Nova pulled away that Demi noticed her sleeper. Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion, her mouth dropping though as she turned to me. Her eyes had suddenly welled up with tears.
"What?"
"Will you?" I pulled the little black box from my pocket. "Demetria Lovato, will you marry me?"
"It's so not fair for you to do this to me right now" I lightly laughed as tears poured down her cheeks. "But yeah, I'll marry you" a lump formed in my throat and tears burnt at the back of my eyes. I pulled the ring from the box and slid it onto her finger. "I love it. Oh my gosh, Odell" I lightly laughed, quickly wiping my own tears from my cheeks.

"I love you" I nodded as I leant in to kiss her.
"I love you too, so much" we both smiled into the kiss.

"What is that on your finger?" I lightly laughed at the shock in my mom's voice as she noticed the shiny ring on Demi's finger. Demi giggled as she briefly glanced to me, sure to turn her attention back to Lani who had Nova cradled in her arms.
"It's a ring" Demi lifted her hand up, the smile on her face was enormous and it made me so excited.
"You never seen a ring before, Mom?" I questioned with a smirk. She lightly hit me round the head causing Demi and Lani to laugh.
"Did you do it?" she took Demi's hand in hers and beamed.
"Yes" the smile on her face grew and then she was gently tugging Demi into a hug.
"This is so exciting. Oh my gosh, I can't wait."
"What?" Lani questioned. "Why you crying again?" we all laughed as mom pulled away from Demi and dabbed at her cheeks. She went back to observing Demi's ring.
"I'm crying because Demi and Odell are getting married."
"Not yet Mom. We're going to wait a couple of years until Nova's older and she can be involved" I glanced to Demi who nodded. "She can be our little flower girl" Demi beamed.
"You have both made an adorable baby. Any more in the future?" her eyebrows wriggled and a smirk formed on her face.
"Mom" Demi rolled her eyes as I shook my head and laughed.
"What? It's just a question" I shook my head as I met Demi's gaze and we shared a laugh. We both know that we want more children, we're just going to take our time with the next one.
