I Can't Even Concentrate

Demi's POV

"Carter Elias! Get your butt over here mister." I call out as I catch sight of Carter reaching up for my bouquet of flowers Odell had gotten me. "Carter! No!" I shout as he grabs ahold of it and I rush over. I thought I would reach him in time since I was only right behind the couch, but he pulled it down and they came tumbling off the coffee table and he lets out a loud cry when some of the water splashed him. I quickly picked him up into my arms to make sure he didn't get hurt or anything and then I bent down and grabbed the flowers appreciating that they weren't in a glass vase.

"Woah, what happened in here?" Dallas asks as she walks into my house and I turned and smiled over at her.

"Carter happened." I mumble back and she chuckles as she grabs the flowers for me so I can console Carter. "That's why I said no baby." I then say as I set him on the counter in front of me when we make it into the kitchen. He's too young to understand punishment so I didn't do anything besides hold him until he stopped crying.

"He is such a handful for you. Does he make you second guess more kids?" Dallas asks and I nod.

"Yeah he does. I swear everywhere he goes he causes trouble. I can't imagine what it will be like when he's two." I say as I let him play with my necklace around my neck. "And Odell wants another baby as soon as I finish up my tour and I don't know if I could handle two under two especially if it's another boy." I then say and she smiles.

"But what if it's a girl?" She asks and I smile.

"She would still be crazy because of me. I just don't know if I'm really ready for another baby as soon as him. Like I do want another one, but not this soon." I say as I play with Carter's hair.

"Have you told him that?" She asks and I shake my head. "Don't you think that should be an important conversation to have now before you get married?" She asks and I take a deep breath.

"We're still going to have more kids so it won't be a dealbreaker for us if I want to wait a little longer. I'll tell him, but I'm getting married in two days. I don't want to ruin any of our moods with a petty fight." I breathe out and she nods.

"It's your body anyways so he should respect if you want to wait." She replies and I nod.

"So, I want to do something today and I called you over so you can watch Carter for me." I then say changing the subject.

"What's that?" She asks me.

"Odell got my name tattooed and I feel like I need to do the same. I'm not getting his name, but I was going to get his jersey number number and then I was going to get our wedding date." I tell her and she raises her brows.

"You better hope you don't get divorced. That will be on you forever." She says and I bite my lip.

"We won't get divorced." I defend as I shake my head. "And if by some chance we do, I will still always care about him and love him. He gave me the best thing ever and he made my life so much more worth living." I then say because she still looked a little hesitant.

"Alright then. I'll watch him." She agrees and I smile and nod. I say goodbye to Carter and then I leave the house to go to Dr. Woo's shop so I can my tattoos. I was also getting Carter's name tattooed like Odell did. I was getting Odell's jersey number on my hip and then I was getting the date we're getting married on my ring finger. I then got Carter's name on my opposite shoulder blade from where my warrior tattoo was and they all turned out beautiful. I was so excited to have tattoos representing the two people I love the most now on my body. I decided not to show Odell his jersey number tattoo until our wedding night, but I did show him the one of my ring finger and he loved it.
