JoJo "do you have everything", Avery "yes mommy", Demi "let's go through everything before we leave to drop you off", they went through the list making sure that Avery had everything packed in her suitcase and duffle bag, JoJo "alright let's get going", Demi "their bus should be leaving at 11:00", JoJo "okay", they left the house, leaving the dogs in the house, and headed to the community center. JoJo "remember listen to the staff members at all times but please have fun and enjoy yourself sweetie", Avery "okay, bye mommy. Bye mama", she said hugging them, JoJo and Demi weren't the only parents standing aside as the kids boated the bus for their sleep away camp. After the bus left Demi and JoJo headed back home.

And just like that our baby girl is leaving us for a week. She's been patiently waiting for sleep away camp, and we just dropped her off. Hope our girl has loads of fun.

Demi "do you wanna do it now", JoJo "yeah I just wanna get it over with", Demi "come here, stand right here", Demi prepped the shot, she opened an alcohol pad and gently rubbed it against JoJo's stomach, Demi "ready", JoJo "yeah", Demi injected the needle in her stomach.

(Day 1 Of Our IVF treatment)

Demi "did it hurt", JoJo "no I'm good", Demi "okay", JoJo "I just got a text from the leader of the community center, they just arrived in Georgia for camp", Demi "okay, did they get settled", JoJo "yeah, we have to be calm for the week because all of their phones were taken away so they could enjoy camp, so we won't talk to her until she gets back", Demi "oh man, that sucks", JoJo "so back to school is coming up and Christmas is coming up. Any plans", Demi "um not sure yet", JoJo "hold on baby, my mom is calling. Hey mom", Diana "hey baby. What are you and Demi up to", JoJo "nothing much, Avery's at camp. She left today, and we started our IVF treatment today", Diana "that's great honey. So the holidays are coming up, any plans", JoJo "I'm not sure just yet, even Demi asked me. We've gotta talk about it first and see what we are gonna be doing", Diana "okay, no worries, I heard the two of you just got another puppy", JoJo "yeah lol, more like for Avery but yeah, we did. His name is Pickle, now we've got four dogs. Batman, Cinderella, Agape, and Pickle, and luckily they are all small dogs so we have no issues", Diana "that's cute. Did Avery arrive in Georgia", JoJo "yeah they did. But none of the parents can talk to the kids, their phones are with the staff members so in order to get in touch we've gotta reach out to one of the staff members", Diana "oh, no phones so they could enjoy their camp", JoJo "exactly", Diana "and how long do you have to take these injections", JoJo "fourteen days and then we see the results", Diana "well I just wanted to check in on the two of you, I'll give you a call later. I love you", JoJo "love you too", she hung up the phone. Demi "want some breakfast", JoJo "sure, it's really weird without her here and I don't like it very much", Demi "aww don't cry baby", this was the first time they were going a week without their daughter and it wasn't the easiest thing ever. Demi "babe she's gonna be okay", JoJo "I know she is, I'm just nervous about it. I don't like the thought of her not being here with us, it's too quiet. She's usually here playing camp rock or descendants, or some musical movie that she knows so she can sing along throughout the entire movie, or she's usually cuddling up between us", Demi "babe, you don't have to be so worried, she could handle herself, you know she can", JoJo "it's only been a day and I miss her so much already", Demi "I miss her too, but try to not think about because soon enough she'll be back home with us", JoJo "okay", Demi "I love you", JoJo "I love you too", Demi "what do you want for breakfast", JoJo "something simple, waffles and bacon", Demi "okay", Demi made homemade Belgium waffles, and then cooked the bacon, Demi "coffee babe", JoJo "I don't think I should be drinking coffee while on this treatment, maybe just orange juice for me", Demi "okay", the two of them sat on the couch and had breakfast while binge watching their favorite show. JoJo "ooh babe there's this new show on Apple TV, it's called criminal record, I think we should watch it. It's so good", Demi "okay. Put it on then", JoJo "okay", after doing the dishes, the two of them continued on the couch binge watching the new show. JoJo "babe I'm going to shower", Demi "okay", JoJo "are you gonna come with me", Demi "I'll be right there in a minute", JoJo "okay", JoJo got undressed and got in the shower, Demi shut off the tv and then joined JoJo in the shower. They didn't do much for the rest of the day, but they did go to the mall to get some things, and then went home. Demi "are you okay? You've been pretty quiet", JoJo "I'm fine", she said leaving to the room, she shut the door and climbed into the bed. Demi "babe can you please tell me what's going on", JoJo "I said nothing. I'm fine, I just wanna get some rest, she covered herself with the blanket and fell asleep. Demi knew that something was wrong and JoJo refused to admit that anything was wrong, but Demi knew she was acting like this because their daughter was at camp, and JoJo didn't like being away from her, even though Demi tried to calm her down and tell her it would be okay, she still didn't feel any better from how she already felt about their daughter being gone for a week. Demi cooked dinner while JoJo napped, and a little while later she woke up but no matter how many times she had asked, Joanna avoided answering the question. Demi "okay this is not what we are going to be doing? You're giving me the silent treatment, and you won't even talk to me, on top of that you've been avoiding me all day", JoJo "can we not cause an argument right now", Demi "I'm not the one that caused any of this, you are the one that won't open to me, or tell me what you're feeling, I'm supposed to just look at you and know how you're feeling right off the bat", JoJo "no. No one said that", Demi "but that's how you're acting and it's ridiculous. You're being like this, with me for what. I didn't even do anything, I'm just trying to help and make the situation better", JoJo "and I already told you that I didn't wanna talk about it", Demi "okay but why are you even getting worried about her? You know she could handle herself", JoJo "to a certain extent yes, but that doesn't mean she could do it all the time. You know how she gets, all quiet and doesn't talk about anything. You know how shy she gets and how quiet she can get", Demi "okay but baby if something was to happen the staff would call us and let us know. You know that, you're being over paranoid and you're doing it to yourself and I don't like it. We are supposed to be enjoying our free time, but you keep mentioning our daughter knowing she's in good hands", JoJo "I just miss her", she said as she started to cry. Demi "oh man, I didn't want you to cry, come here", Demi wrapped her arms around her fiancé, hugging her tightly. Demi "I love you", JoJo "I love you too", Demi "what should we have for dinner", JoJo "oooh can we order out? Let's do Mexican", Demi "that sounds good to me", JoJo "okay", the two of them scrolled through the Uber eats app and decided on what type of Mexican food they would be eating and they decided on tacos", Demi "this one right", JoJo "yeah", Demi ordered the food and as they waited for the food to arrive, the both of them tidied up the house a bit since it was slightly messy from their four dogs. After dinner, the two of them called it a night, JJ slept in Avery's room, it didn't bother Demi since she knew that she missed their daughter.

(Day 2 Of Our IVF Treatment)

Demi "are you ready", JoJo "yeah", Demi injected her fiancé with the needle, JoJo "okay that one hurt more than yesterday's injection", Demi "are you okay", JoJo "yeah", Demi "what did we come here again for", JoJo "grocery shopping and to buy some things for the house", Demi "okay", JoJo "ready to head inside", Demi "okay", the two of them headed inside the store and did their shopping. Demi "are you okay? Baby what's wrong, hey tell me what's wrong", JoJo "I feel very lightheaded", Demi "come here, drink some of this. It could be the injections giving making you feel like this, you're gonna be alright, let's just finish this shopping trip and then we can go home", JoJo "I'm gonna wait in the car, I can't stand up", Demi "babe", JoJo "I'll be okay. I just wanna go to the car", Demi "okay", JoJo left to the car, and Demi continued shopping. Demi loaded the groceries into the car, Demi "you okay", JoJo "I said no, I wanna go home", Demi "okay. We're gonna go home", JoJo stood quiet the whole way home, and once they were home she went straight to the room and cried. Demi "babe what's wrong. You literally snapped at me, what's wrong", JoJo "I already told you I don't feel good. How many times do I have to tell you", Demi "okay but you don't have to get upset or get uptight", JoJo "I'm not, I just wanna rest and be left alone", Demi "I'm going to my mom's house, I'm not dealing with having an attitude. I can't do it", Demi left, JoJo was completely shattered, she was in a state of depression and bad anxiety due to feeling sick and Demi left instead of staying. JoJo's heart broke, Dianna "what are you doing here then", Demi "she was getting upset at me, she's not feeling good and she doesn't like to be asked a lot of questions and that's what I did", Dianna "and you left her", Demi "mom I just told you why, I'm not arguing with her", Dianna "does she deal with mental health problems and depression", Demi "yeah", Dianna "not a good idea leaving her", Demi "fuck", Dianna "I'll drive you", she drove Demi back home, and then left. Demi "babe", Demi shut the door and went upstairs, Demi "Joanna, Jo. Come on, wake up, Joanna wake up", Joanna "mmm", Demi "you scared the shit out of me, what the hell", JoJo "payback", Demi "for what, what did I do to you", JoJo "you left me, I'm slightly depressed and have bad anxiety and you left me instead of staying with me", Demi "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to", JoJo "you can't do that, especially since we're trying to get pregnant", Demi "I'm sorry baby. Let's just order your favorite and we can binge watch something and then call it a night", JoJo "okay", they ordered Thai takeout, and as they ate dinner they binge watched their new favorite show. Demi "the staff is saying Avery wants to come home early", JoJo "how is that gonna work", Demi "I don't know, we will have to drive up there to get her", JoJo "that drive is far", Demi "I know but if she doesn't wanna stay there is no point in forcing her to stay, especially if she wants to come home", JoJo "we can make the drive in the morning, early morning", Demi "okay", after cleaning up, feeding and walking the dogs, the two of them quickly showered and headed to bed. Demi "goodnight baby", JoJo "goodnight", Demi "I love you", JoJo "I love you more", they cuddled up and fell asleep.
