Demi's POV
We've been back from our trip for almost a week and I love our little family. We got the furniture for Izabella's room and she wants it to be purple, white, and black zigzags for the paint so we decided we would paint it the main color and then let the professionals do the zigzags. Until her room is finished she's been sleeping in our room.
Maiya seems to be sick or something but she keeps brushing it off with a fake smile. I know she's not okay but I haven't found the time to talk to her. We have both been busy with work and Izabella. We have our interview with Ellen tomorrow and she always pushes off the topic whenever I bring it up. Izabella is still sleeping when I wake up and Maiya isn't there. I make my way down the stairs and walk into the kitchen. I see Maiya with a plate of food in front of her but it hasn't been touched. There is more food on the stove for me and Izabella I'm guessing. But when I look at the clock it's like 4:30am. It's Friday.
"Maiya are you okay? And please don't lie to me." I said as I sat down next to her.
"Hey beautiful." She said as she looked up at me with sad eyes and a slight smile.
"Babe are you okay?" I asked again.
She just looked back down at her plate of food and put her head back in her hands.
"I'm just really exhausted. I've been working a lot and staying up late. Then I wake up early and I just can't seem to sleep at night anyway." She said as she cried.
"Aww baby it's okay." I told her as I rubbed her back. I shifted her into my lap as she held onto me and cried. After about ten minutes she had fallen asleep so I took her upstairs to lay next to Izabella. I climbed back in bed with them and pulled the covers over us as we all cuddled.

After about two more hours I woke up to the sound of Izabella crying. I looked up to see that Maiya was still sleeping so I picked up Izabella but she didn't even open her eyes. She was still sleeping. I could hear her saying Momma as she cried but I was still concerned since she wasn't awake.
"Sshhhh baby you're okay Bella. I'm here baby." I said as I rocked her on the bed. She clung to my shirt naturally and quieted. I just held onto her as I laid back down with her in my arms. I looked over to Maiya who hadn't even stirred. My poor baby.

Maiya's POV
I don't know what's wrong with me. I can't eat. I can't sleep, but insomnia is a bitch so that's no surprise. I don't want Izabella to see me like this. This is the first time I've opened up to Demi about it. I've just been avoiding her on the topic. I looked over at the clock and saw that it was 10:30am. I crawled out of bed and saw that Demi was cradling Bella in her arms. I took a picture and put it on twitter.

After about twenty minutes Demi came downstairs and sat with me in the living room as I watched the TV. She stroked my hair as I laid my head in her lap. I had just dyed my hair so it was brown with my ends dyed purple. Demi has grown hers out so it's down past her shoulders now. It's dyed a dark but noticeable brown. Very close to her natural color.

"I think Izabella had a nightmare earlier." Dems told me. I sat up.
"What? When? Why didn't you wake me up?" I started firing questions at her.
"You needed to rest. You were up at 4:30am in the kitchen with food. You don't even like to get up at 6am. And I don't really know but she kept saying Momma and crying." Demi said. She had a good point. And this is new. Bella has never done this before.
Just as I was about to respond I heard the pattering of little feet on the ground upstairs.
"Momma?" I heard that little voice say over the banister. She can't get down the stairs by herself yet.
"I'm coming Bella." I called as I rushed up the stairs to get her. When I got up there she was waiting for me with her arms outstretched. I gave her a kiss and hugged her tight.
"How did you sleep baby girl?" I asked her.
"I dunno." she responded as she buried her head in my shoulder.
"Can I get some bweakfast? I'm hungwy?" I love when she can't pronounce the r's. It's so cute.
"Of course. Lets go see mommy first okay?" She just nodded her head yes.
I went to take her to see Demi. I could see the look of concern in her eyes as she looked at Izabella. Izabella looked worn out and tired. I was in the kitchen making Bella a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch when there was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it babe!" Demi yelled to me. I heard the front door open as Demi talked to the person standing there.
"Umm hi?" I heard Demi say.
"Uh hi I'm Nicole and I'm looking for my sister,Maiya." She responded. It sounded more like a question than an answer.
"Okay just come and take a seat." I heard Demi come closer to the kitchen and walk in.
"Who is it?" I asked her as I held Izabella, who just laid her head on my shoulder not appearing to be hungry.
"Well it's someone that's claiming to be the sister I didn't know you had." She responded as she pushed past me to go upstairs. I just sighed and walked out.
