Not About Angels (Only Human sequal)

Chapter 14

(Joe's pov)

"Hey sweetie." Demi said as I started to wake up. Her voice resembled an angel. It feels like it had been so long since I'd heard her voice.

"Hi sweet pea. How did the appointment go?" I asked her. I was still disappointed I wasn't there with her. But she didn't seem to mind. Or atleast she wasn't showing it if she did. "It was good. The baby is healthy, growing as it should." she said with a smile.

"Did you find out the sex?" I asked her. She shook her head. "No." she said.

"Why not?" I asked. I knew she'd been waiting for this appointment ever since her first sonogram.

"It didn't feel right without you there." she said looking down. I felt like I should hug her but the pain in my chest was just so unbearable I could hardly take it.

It was silent for a little bit. Until Brooklyn walked in with Selena. "Hey dem." Selena said. Demi half smiled. "hi."

Brooklyn came and dropped her backpack of at the door and ran to hug her mom like this has been a routine for her. "Hi mommy," she said squeezing Demi.

"What about me?" I asked. She turned her eyes over to me and they lit up. "Daddy you're awake!" she yelled. She jumped on the bed with me carefully. She didn't want to touch my chest because she knew it hurt.

"Hi princess." I said kissing her forehead. "When are you going to be home daddy? I'm tired of sleeping in your bed with mommy. She thinks I'm scared but I'm not!" she pouted. "You have to come back and protect her."

Selena and Demi just stared down. I sighed, "Daddy's trying baby." I said.

"Why don't I take you to go get some ice cream and we'll come back?" Selena asked holding out her hand for Brooklyn.

"Alright." she said with w frown on her face as she hopped of the bed and they left. I was sad to see her go but Demi and I needed to discuss some things.

"I think I'm gonna go with them." Demi said rushing out the door.

(Demi's pov)

I walked into the house that night and threw my ultrasound pictures on the table that holds our key bowl. I didn't even know if I wanted this baby anymore. Now that I'm doing it all alone.

I stared at a picture of Joe, Brooklyn, and I from a couple years ago. I'm guessing Brooklyn was about 2 or 3. We were at the beach and Brooklyn loved it. You can tell by the smile on her face. We used to be so happy. What even happened to us?

"Mommy?" Brooklyn asked. She was in her pajamas and had her sippy cup in her hand. Wow she had been gaining weight. Selena must be taking good care of her.

"Yeah sweetie?" I asked her.

"Please don't be sad anymore. Daddy won't get better if you don't." she said hugging my legs.

I stroked her hair and nodded. "Alright sweetie." I told her picking her up. "Do you want milk in your cuppy or juice?" I asked her.

She thought for a moment. "Juice!" she said.

I smiled and walked into the kitchen with her and poured some apple juice in her sippy cup. Pretty soon I'll be doing this for another baby.

I think what Brooklyn said to me really got to me. Because I started to slump out of my depression. And that night was the first night in the whole 3 weeks Joe had been in the hospital that I actually slept good.
