Stalker | Jemi

Episode 70

————————————————————-

A couple of weeks went by when Demi started to feel a sharp pain in her stomach, out of fear they travelled straight to the hospital not wanting anything to happen to either or both of their twins. They will both admit that they were scared that something was wrong and they would end up coming home with neither or just one of their babies. They could only leave once they had someone to look after Jayden and Isaac and with it being late at night it took a couple of attempts to find someone who answered the phone, Denise had come over and would stay at their house until the morning when the boys would wake up. 

"Joey it hurts." Demi chokes through the pain as Joe sped through the streets as fast as he could without breaking the law. He squeezed her hand gently hoping to sooth her. 

"Just take deep breaths and think happy thoughts." Joe encouraged but Demi could think of anything else but the fact that this pain feels a lot like contractions. 

"Contractions Joe, they feel like them." Demi stammers, she was only twenty three weeks along and she knew that her babies didn't have strong enough organs yet to be born. It would be a fight for them to survive. She had never been so scared in her life. 

"Just hang in there Dems, we're nearly at the hospital." Joe tried to sound calm but he knew too that it was too soon. He wanted both his babies at the end of this. 

As soon as Joe and Demi arrived at the hospital they were taken away to a room where they could be assessed and figure out what was going wrong with the pregnancy. Joe never left Demi's side the whole time holding her hand reassuring her where he could that everything would be okay. His voice soothed her more than anything. 

"C-Can we think of names now in case something goes horribly wrong?" Demi requested letting her tears fall, she still had the pains coming every couple of minutes which were just appearing more and more like contractions. 

"We don't need to worry about that now Dems, let's just see what's going wrong." Joe replied leaning down kissing the top of her head leaving his lips there longer than needed but pulled away squeezing her hand three times. She cracked a small smile knowing that each of the squeezes were instead of him saying 'I love you'. 

"I love you too Joe but please, I just want to know what my children will be called. They could come out dead and I'd rather do it now." Demi pleaded. 

"Okay, I kinda like Maya for a girl." Demi smiled again closing her eyes as another pain hit her. She waited until it was gone to speak again. 

"I-I like that and Mason for a boy." Demi replied. 

"I like that too but that will do for now Demi, just relax." Joe demanded kissing her hair again. 

"Maya and Mason." Demi mumbled to herself closing her eyes again, those names just ringed in her mind like that they were meant to be. Joe smiled seeing her so relaxed even with what has been happening.

Joe left the room after Demi had asked him to get some ice chips but he couldn't help but pause and run through his fingers through his hair. He let the tears run down his cheeks, he didn't need to be strong for Demi when she wasn't around. He was terrified about what was happening and was tired but nowhere near as much as Demi was. 

"Joe?" He heard turning his head seeing a tallish blonde woman, she had green eyes and a smallish bump. She didn't look as big as Demi but she was carrying twins. He recognised her straight away and was shocked by what he had seen. 

"Steph?" He questioned his eyes not helping but land on her bump covered by a plain white shirt. It couldn't be his all he kept repeating in her mind over and over again.
