       He smiles and pecks a kiss to my lips. "Of course, I'm here for you. I love you. You and our baby are my whole world." My eyes light up and a tear rolls down my cheek.

       He lifts his hand up to my face and attempts to wipe it away, "come on, let's get going." I smile and take his hand in mine and we walk out the door.   We get downstairs and see that Husk is already manning the bar. Demetrius walks up to him, "Dad, you don't need to worry about working the bar... I was planning to work it as soon as we got back from Jessie's appointment." He looks up and smiles at us before walking from behind the bar.

        He walks up to Demetrius and gives him a hug purring. "Uh... what's this for, Dad?" He pulls away from the embrace and wipes away the tears from his eyes, "I know the secret that you two are hiding." Demetrius makes a confused expression and before he has a chance to speak, Husk walks up to me and gives me a warm hug. He then pulls away and rests his hands on my shoulders, "so how far along are you?"

      I smile at him and instinctively rest my hands on my belly. I look over to Demetrius still smiling, "he knows about the baby." "Oooh... how?" Husk chuckles, "one of the perks of being in heaven is seeing the future of your loved ones." I give Husk a hug and kiss him on the cheek, "We're heading to my first appointment to find out."

        He smiles warmly and turns his head to Demetrius, "you can take her there in the car. I don't want her to be up on her feet too much." Demetrius smiles, "thanks, Dad. You read my mind." He places a hand on his shoulder, "of course, son and congratulations to you both.

        I'm so excited to be here to see my grandchild." Demetrius smiles, "thanks, Dad. I'm glad that you're here too." Demetrius takes my hand and leads me to the back entrance. I wave goodbye to Husk and he smiles waving back.

         Demetrius and I get to the parking lot and he opens the passenger door for me. I smile at him before I climb in and he shuts the door and walks around to the driver's side. He climbs in and shuts the door before putting on his seatbelt and turning on the ignition. After a few minutes of driving we get to the clinic and check in with the lady at the front. I greet her with a smile, "hi, I have an appointment today."

She smiles back and turns to face her computer, "Alright, can I get your first and last name please?" "Uh, Isabella Sparks." She begins typing on her keyboard, "okay and date of birth?" "February 19, 1990." She goes back to typing and after a few minutes she looks up at us and smiles, gesturing her hand towards the waiting room.

"Okay, I've got you all checked in. Go ahead and take a seat in the waiting area and the doctor will be out to see you shortly." "Okay thank you," I say allowing Demetrius to lead me away from the counter and to the waiting area. We sit down in a couple of comfortable chairs positioned in front of this imp couple. Oddly enough, they looked quite familiar to me.

One had short black hair and ripped jeans and the other one had white hair that was kind of medium length, for a male imp anyways, and a trench coat. I guess the female imp was thinking the same thing because she parted her lips to speak, "hey... don't I know y'all from somewhere?" I look over to Demetrius who shrugs his shoulders and then look back over to the imps, "yeah, you guys look familiar to me too but I can't quite put my finger on where I know you guys from." The male imp lets out a stretch before rubbing his eyes, "hey, aren't you that demon that stabbed that tv demon over and over again?" Demetrius blushes while scratching at the back of his head, "uh yeah, he he.

I was having a... a really hard time that day. That demon had stabbed my Dad." "Yeah!! I remember you guys now! You were at the battle that happened a few days ago."

I smile now piecing it all together, "yeah, I remember! It's hard to recognize you without seeing you waving your battle axe around and over your head." She laughs, "yeah what can I say, I really love what I do." "So uh, are you guys expecting?" She blushes and scratches the back of her head, "oh uh, no, well not exactly—"
