Not About Angels (Only Human sequal)

chapter 13

(Demi's pov)

"Do you know anyone that would want to your hurt husband Mrs. Jonas?" the officer asked. I shook my head.

"We took the bullet from the hospital. Appearently whoever did it didn't clean off their fingerprints. We're studying them now. I'm just trying to find a motive." the officer explained.

I nodded.

"Was he into gambling maybe? Owe someone money?" the officer asked.

I began to think about it.

"He-" I kept thinking.

"He what?" the officer asked.

"We owed the hospital a couple months ago some money. There was a car accident. i-" I stopped. "He told me that there was some extra money from the business . & that he took care of it." I said.

The officer became interested. "Really? Do you know who he could've borrowed money from?" he asked.

I shook my head. "No."

"Alright Mrs. Jonas you're free to go." the officer said.

I nodded and grabbed my keys leaving. It's been one very long day and I'm just ready to get home to my daughter.

-
"Mommy." Brooklyn asked. I just picked her up from Selena's and I asked her to sleep in my bed to feel safe. For my benefit anyway.

"Yes sweetie?" I asked.

"Is daddy gonna be okay?" she asked.

I thought about saying yes. I thought about saying no. "I hope so" I settled for. And it was true. I'd feel guilty for giving my daughter false hope.

(Joe's pov)

I woke up and immidiently felt the pain in my upper shoulder. I knew who shot me. It was Wilmer. That's what I get for going to a Latino loan shark. I forgot about owing him money.

After Demi and I found out about the new baby it just didn't seem important to me. But I see now that was a horrible mistake to make.

We should be finding out the sex of the baby, not finding out who shot me. I felt so terrible for putting my girls through all this. They didn't deserve it.

Demi's lost so many people, she didn't need to lose me too.

& Brooklyn. She was only 5. She's just a kid still, practically a baby. She's already got enough health problems without stressing out over me.

"Mr. Jonas. Are you alright?" the nurse asked. I nodded and asked about my family.

Nothing was more important than them. She told me they usually see me at 3:30 when Brooklyn is out of school.

But today Demi had a doctors appointment. I think it's to find out the sex of the baby.

I really wanted to be there for it too. I mean, I was there when we found out what Brooklyn was going to be. But me and Demi are both hoping for a boy.

I waited for the time to go by before calling Demi. But eventually gave up and fell back asleep.
