Not About Angels (Only Human sequal)

Chapter 12

(Demi's pov)
I opened the door quietly. It was 5:54am the next day. I drove all through the night until I got home. I was pretty sure Joe would still be asleep so I crept up the stairs.

I looked into Brooklyn's bedroom. There was my baby, sound asleep. I smiled at her and shut her door again.

I took a deep breath before entering mine and Joes' bedroom. He was sound asleep just like Brooklyn.

I undid my jeans and slid into bed trying to be quiet so I wouldn't wake Joe up.

Too late.

He turned over and faced me. "I'm sorry babe." he whispered to me as he pulled me close. "me too." I said pecking his lips.

"You know what the good part about fighting is?" Joe asked. I frowned. "what?"

"the make up sex." Joe said hovering over me and kissing my neck. I giggled lightly trying to keep quiet.

I grabbed my keys. "Goodbye my babies." I said kissing Brooklyn who was now 5, and Demi. & finally Demi's belly. "I love you too you wiggle squirt." I said making Demi laugh.

Demi opened the front door and I started to walk out. "You'll be home at 5 right?" she asked. Brooklyn got her backpack on as I nodded.

"Jonas!" I heard the familiar, scary voice call.

A shot was fired. And I heard Demi call my name. That was the last thing I heard before everything went black.

(Demi's pov)
"Brooklyn honey, call 911!" I said as I laid beside Joe covered in his blood & putting pressure on the wound. "Joe honey plus wake up." I called.

I was drowning in my husbands blood. Why did this have to happen to him? He has such bad luck. He's so... kind? He's a saint. Ever since high school he's been such a nerd. Harmless really. Maybe that's where Brooklyn gets it.

I was filled with anger but I guess it is just an accident. It could've happened to anyone.

"Mrs. Jonas?" the doctor asked. I stood up. We'd been here 4 hours and Brooklyn was sound asleep in the chair.

"We were able to get the bullet out. It was really deep. He's going to live. He may need to watch it though and take it easy. But can we ask you to file a police report?" he asked.

"Why?" I asked confused.

"Because this sweetheart was no accident." the doctor said. He guided me over to an officer to talk.

"Officer Lee, please meet Mrs. Jonas. Mrs. Jonas meet Officer Lee." the doctor patted my back and walked away.

"Ma'am I know right now might be a hard time. But can we talk to you? Down at the station? We can wait a couple hours for you to find a babysitter if you'd like." the officer suggested.

"Yeah." I nodded.

A few minutes later, Selena walked into the hospital and hugged me while Brooklyn was on my hip.

"Demi I'm so sorry. I know I've been busy lately and haven't really been in touch." she said.

"It's alright." I said.

Brooklyn smiled. "Hi Selly belly." she said.

"Hi brookie cookie." Selena said kissing her. "You've gotten so big."

I half smiled. "Tell aunt Selena how many pounds you've gained." I said rubbing her back.

"15" she said holding up a 1 and a 5.

"High five girlfriend!" Selena said high fiving Brooklyn.

"Well can you take her? I've got to get to the police station." I told Selena.

Selena nodded and took Brooklyn from my arms. I grabbed my purse real quick and handed Selena a key to our house. "Here everything you'll need for her is in the house."

she nodded. I kissed Brooklyn goodbye and hurried down to the police station. this would be a long night..
