When the sun comes out- Demi lovato

~30~

*Amelia's POV*

"Good morning, Amelia" Drake greeted me, as I came downstairs.

"Good morning" I looked around, "Where are Corey and Demi?"

"Demi went to work and brought Corey to kindergarten on the way"

"You leaving to work soon, too?"

"Nope. I took off today"

"Why?"

"So you wouldn't be alone the whole day. Demi's only gonna be home after dinner today and I have an important meeting later, so I don't want you to be alone all day"

"Why's Demi coming home late?"

"She works till eight pm two days a week. Actually she had to yesterday, but because she took off, she decided to work a little longer today"

It made me feel bad, actually. She took off for me, but I just got mad at her.

"Want some breakfast?"

"Sure" I sat down at the kitchen table, as he handed me a plate with some pancakes on it.

"They're good" I smiled at him.

"Demi made them" he smiled.

I just nodded.
What bothered me most of all was that she was right. I didn't want her to be right, but she was.
I wasn't happy, at all. I was very sad and mad. But I made it part of my morning routine to just put a smile on my face and pretend that I'm happy.
I know it's good to sometimes let your feelings out, but I don't want to.
I mean, I'm not sure if I want to.

"So, do you wanna join me to the mall today?" Drake asked.

"Sure"

"Good, cause I gotta buy something for Demi, and I'd like a girls opinion on it"

"Why do you have to buy her something?"

"It's the day we found out she was pregnant. I made a tradition out of it, to buy her something, every year. She always objects and says I don't have to, but I want to. There aren't enough days in the year that have something special that I can buy her something without her telling me it's unnecessary, so I made it an anniversary. And on an anniversary you buy you partner something, right?"

"What do you mean with not enough days?"

"Well, of course there's the holidays and her birthday. Then there's our wedding day and the day we met. Oh, and there's Corey's birthday, of course. I always buy her something on Corey's birthday, and she always tells me it's Corey's day and not hers. But I tell her, it's the day she gave me a son, so it's her day also. And that it. Except for the holidays it's only four days, and I think we need more days to celebrate, so I made today a celebration"

"You're a pretty nice husband" I chuckled.

"That's what happens when you have an amazing wife"

I loved how much he loves her. You could see his love for her, in his eyes and in the way he talked about her.

"Okay, let me know when you're ready to leave, yeah?"

"Sure" I cleared my plate and walked upstairs to get ready.

"What are we doing?" I asked dad, as be dragged me with him to the mall.

"We're buying mommy a present for her birthday"

"Why do I have to come along?"

"Cause I want you to chose something to buy for her"
I shrugged and followed him to the jewelry store.

"What do you think of this?" dad asked, pointing at a necklace.

"It's nice. I don't think mom will like it that much, though. I think she'll like this better" I pointed at a bracelet with four hearts on it.

"Hey, maybe we can engrave our names in it. Yours, mom's, Lucas' and mine" I suggested.

"That's such a good idea. See, that why you had to come along" dad smiled.

It was mom's favorite bracelet and she wore it every day.

It felt like waking with dad again, as I was walking to the mall with Drake.

I stared playing with that bracelet around my arm.
I took it along with me when I was cleaning up the house and I wore it every day.

"Do you think she'll want jewelry, or something else?"

"Buy something else. Jewelry's getting boring and is pretty unoriginal"

"What do I buy her then?"

"How about a nice perfume?"

"That's pretty unoriginal, too"

"I know. So maybe buy a perfume with something else"

"Like?"

"How about a nice dress?"

"How do I know it'll fit her?"

"First we'll see if there something nice and then we'll think about her size"

"Okay. Let's go them" he took my hand and dragged me to one of the stores.

"Nah, actually I want something really original. Something she won't expect, at all. Something no one ever buys as a present" he said, as we entered the store.
He probably just wasn't in the mood to walk through all these clothes.

"Maybe something for the house?"

"Like?"

"I don't know. Do you need anything?"

"Not that I know of"

"Did she ever say something that she thinks is handy to have in the house, but you don't have?"

"Maybe I can buy her a new watch. Her's broke a few days ago"

"Okay, so buy it"

"But I want something bigger. It's a special year. It's five years after we found out. She needs something special"

"A watch, a perfume and some flowers?"

"Okay. I like that. And I'll buy a pair of nice earrings, as well"

"Sure. That's fun. Still not very original" I smirked.

"I know" he laughed.

After we brought all of that stuff, we went back home.
I couldn't wait for Demi to see this. I wondered how she would reply to it.
