Nick's POV

I walked into Demi's house to find her sleeping soundly on the couch in the downstairs den. I smiled at the sight and sighed. This is why I love her.

I walked over to the couch and sat down next to Demi. I gently took her hand in mine, and her eyes fluttered open. She smiled sweetly.

"Hi baby," she said.

"Hello love, how's your day been?'

Her smile faltered. "It's been okay, I guess, " she said, and looked down.

"Baby girl, what's wrong?" I questioned worriedly.

"N-nothing," she said, but I didn't believe her.

"Demi, tell me what's going on."

"It's the twins. Mac talked to Gracie earlier today and told me that the two of them have been getting bullied at daycare. And I didn't even notice. What kind of a mother am I?"

A tear escaped her eye and ran down her cheek. I wiped it away.

"Hey, hey, stop that. You're an amazing mother. It's not your fault that the twins are getting bullied. You take care of them so well, and you work, and now you have Mac. Don't you ever think that you aren't the best mother in the world. The kids love you, and I love you. Don't forget that. Promise?"

"Yeah, I promise."

"Good. I love you." I kissed her cheek. "You're exhausted, I can tell. Let's get you up to bed."

She nodded and I took her hand. I lead her up the stairs and into her bedroom. She crawled into bed and curled up under the comforter. I kissed her on the forehead and left the room.

God, I am so lucky to love her.

Mac's POV

It was almost 2 in the morning and I was lying in bed, wide awake, overthinking my entire life. I had a week before I had to go to school, and I was nervous as hell. What if they made fun of me? What if I got lost? What if I flunked all my classes? What if I got expelled again?

I got out of bed and walked next door to Demi's room. I crawled into bed with her and her eyes fluttered open.

"Sorry to wake you," I said bashfully.

"No problem, baby girl. What's up?"

"Couldn't sleep. Nervous about school, that's all." 

"There's nothing to worry about. I registered you at the best high school in the county."

Great, have the most messed up girl in the universe go to the best school around. Because that makes sense.

"Cool." I said flatly.

"Mac, I'm serious. You'll love it there. I promise."

Yeah, right. "Okay"

Demi took me into her arms. "Hey, guess what?" she asked with an excited tone in her voice.

"What?" I asked, and she let go of me as I sat up to look at her.

"We're going to Cozumel in a week."

"That's, uh, cool..."

Beach. Swimsuit. Skin. Cuts. Shit.

"Baby girl, you're gonna be fine. We're just staying by the beach. It's too cold to swim. Don't panic. okay?"

I nodded.

"Listen to me. Nick thought that we could all use a vacation, and I completely agree. You're stressed, I'm stressed, Nick's stressed, even the twins are stressed. And they're 4. We all need a break. Okay?"

I nodded again. I was still in near-panic mode.

"Hey, come here. You'll be just fine." And she pulled me into another of her signature, bone-crushing hugs.

Maybe she was right.
