Episode 45

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

"What do you mean life changing?" Joe questions but he could tell Demi was beginning to get more and more nervous as the moments went by and he couldn't help but feel bad as if it was his fault that he couldn't guess what was going on. He took her hand in his making her smile a little bit looking up at him again. She knew she just had to come out and say it.

"I'm pregnant, I took three tests this morning and they all came back positive." Demi explains her eyes not leaving his face as his expression softens. It took a couple moments for it all to sink in and for him to actually say something but she let him take his time, it was a big deal that would change both of their lives forever, Joe's a little more than hers since he wasn't already a parent. She felt better for finally telling him, the butterflies in her stomach disappearing.

"W-With a baby?" Demi couldn't help but laugh squeezing his hand gently. "Sorry this is just a lot to take in." He admitted looking towards the counter.

"I know it is which is why I'm not pressuring you into expressing to me how you feel about it, think about it and we'll talk about it when you're ready." Demi suggests Joe nodding his head, he had so many thoughts running through his head.

"How far along are you? It can't be that long can it?" Joe inquired.

"I presume we conceived on the first day you asked me out on a date since we haven't done anything else so about four weeks I'm guessing." Demi explains.

"Have you got a hospital appointment?" Demi knew she would get plenty of questions from him but she was happy he hasn't just walked out. She knew herself that it was a lot to take in especially when they hadn't been together long and when he wasn't a father himself. Joe now agreed with her when she said that it was life changing.

"I have one for Friday morning, Selena is the only person who knows besides you. I just wanted someone there with me when I took the tests, we'll tell family once it's been confirmed by a doctor." Demi answered Joe nodding his head.

"Well I should probably get home, wait it's Wednesday I stay here never mind." Demi laughed getting up as he did.

"Go take a shower in my bathroom, I've washed some clothes that you left here then we'll make a start on dinner." Joe nodded his head leaning down pecking her lips gently. Demi smiled as he walked away laying her hands on her unformed bump.

Jayden and Demi were in the kitchen making dinner when Joe came back through into the kitchen after greeting Isaac who was watching TV on the couch after he had finished his homework. Joe would usually help Jayden with his after dinner since he struggled most of the time. Joe wrapped his arms around Demi embracing her from the back.

"What's for dinner?" He questioned.

"Food now get out my kitchen!" Jayden demanded looking up at him, Joe could see the seriousness on his face making him laugh.

"I think you should probably leave before chef here hits you on the back of the hand with a wooden spoon." Demi grinned Joe laughing again.

"Alright I see how it is," Joe begun unwrapping his arms kissing her cheek then Jayden's head before he left the room to go spend some time with Isaac, he would usually take him outside but they were both showered and changed now.

"That was easy." Demi laughed as Jayden rubbed his hands together then cutting a carrot up with his own training knives. Demi would never give him the ones she cuts with but she got him some special knives for Christmas which are child friendly. She knew already that he was going to be a chef when he was older and would do anything she would to convince him that it was the way to go. As long as they enjoyed what they were doing she didn't care.
