Don't Forget Where You Belong | Jemi

Episode 61

Joe rushed Demi into hospital just as soon as Willa got here to look after Cai and Kaia, she thankfully didn't live too far away and didn't have work either. He hoped that it didn't affect the baby, what was happening with the medication. He knew people could grow to allergies and Demi could have done since the pregnancy with the twins, she never had problems then. He rushed her into the hospital where they were seen to pretty much straight away Joe staying with her the whole time.

"How are you feeling?" Joe questioned.

"Like crap," She mumbled. "This was meant to be a happy time for us all now we're stuck in hospital." Joe shushed her kissing her hand gently.

"We'll be out here before you know it." Joe assured her leaning down kissing her lips gently, Demi calmed down kissing him back before the two of them pulling away leaving them both smiling but pulled away completely when the door opened again.

"We think we know what has given you an allergic to and can give you some medication to stop it." A nurse stated clearly in a rush, they wanted to get Demi back to normal as soon as possible so she could go home soon.

"Will it affect the baby?" Joe questioned Demi smiling at how protective he was already over their child. They couldn't wait to raise this baby and do it right this time.

"No not at all." She replied Demi nodding her head gently.

"Okay I'll have it." Demi replied.

"It's in needle form? Is that alright?" Demi nodded her head sitting up on the bed. Joe was asked to leave the room which he did greeting Demi's parents before heading off to the hospital. She winced slightly as she felt the needle enter her arm but was alright once it was over. "It might take a couple of minutes to take effect."

"Okay, can I go afterwards? I have three year olds at home." Demi inquired.

"You'll have to wait fifteen minutes afterwards to make sure everything is okay but then you can go," She answered looking clearer on her neck when she saw a mark around her neck her eyes moving down to her arms where she saw a couple of bruises. "I'll be back in a minute."

It was about five minutes later when the nurse stood outside Demi's room where her family was waiting to hear news about how she was and how the baby was doing. They only spoke to Joe a little bit before he went off to find a bathroom. She had a concerned look on her face as if she was worried about something.

"Is Demi okay?" Paul questioned holding his wife's hand.

"Both Demi and baby are fine but we have noticed something, a mark around her neck and some bruising on her arm. We believe she is being abused at home," The nurse stated everyone looking around each other. "The police have been called as a case of domestic abuse and will be over soon to speak to Demi and Joe, a social worker is going around to their apartment to get Chiron and Kaia out of the property."

"No Joe would never do something like that, he's a good boy." Denise insisted shaking her head gently. She knew Joe would never do something like that to Demi and especially not to the children, he loved those twins more than anything.

"What's going on?" Joe questioned as he entered the hallway.

"You!" Paul screamed getting up pointing his finger at him. "Have you laid even a finger on my little girl?" Joe's eyes widened slightly.

"What no." Joe demanded but winced as he felt Paul push him up against the wall.

"Paul get off him, you know Demi's had the mark around her neck since she was born!" Denise demanded getting up walking over. Paul looked into Joe's eyes not moving a muscle, he thought he saw something in his eyes. Something familiar but he continued to stare seeing the fear in his eyes not knowing what he was going to do next. Whether he would ever get on the right side of his girlfriend's father but mainly fear.

"Tell the truth boy, have you ever hit my daughter." Paul spat Joe able to feel him pushing him further up against the wall getting more worked up the more her thought about his daughter being abused by anyone, especially a boyfriend.
