Beside You | Jemi

Twenty Eight

Demi took a shower before she met Willa outside the changing rooms seeing that she was already waiting for her. They greeted each other before they both headed out to the car park both climbing in Demi's car, Willa couldn't drive and had walked her. Demi drove them both to one of her favourite diners, she used to come here with Joe a lot when they were young teenagers. It was their favourite place to go after school. They sat down in a booth and ordered before engaging into a conversation Willa being the one who spoke first.

"This place looks amazing." Willa complimented as she looked around.

"I used to come here all the time with my best friend when we were teenagers." Demi explains taking a sip of her milkshake. She knew it wasn't healthy but she deserved a treat every so often and had ordered a salad for her main.

"Used to?" Willa questioned.

"Well he's getting married soon and he works so we don't spend a whole lot of time together anymore. I'm pregnant with his baby though." Demi explained a small smirk coming to her lips. She had already had a talk with Joe how funny it would be that they were having a baby together and to see what people's reactions would be.

"Drunken night?" She guessed but Demi shook her head.

"His partner can't conceive a baby so I offered to have an IVF for them."

"Doesn't it feel weird carrying someone else's baby though?" Willa questioned Demi shaking her head gently, she didn't feel any different at the moment if she was being honest.

"This baby is technically mine, Emily has a problem with her eggs so they've just fertilised mine with Joe's sperm," Demi explained. "Hence why I said I'm carrying my best friend's baby."

"Right I'm going to go now while I'm still not a huge part of your life." Willa stated pretending to get up as the two of them laughing. They continued talking and getting to know one another a little bit more, Demi learnt that Willa was too due to get married soon with a one year old son. She needed some female comfort in her life and she only saw herself getting closer to Willa wanting to keep in touch with her.

Joe slipped into bed next to Emily that mind as Emily put her bookmark in her book setting it down on the bedside table. Today had been a really long day but they didn't mind because it was exciting and was more exciting as they thought about what the future was going to be like. They both settled down wrapping themselves in one another.

"We should get the rest of the wedding planned soon." Emily mumbled.

"That would be a good idea."

"How far along with Demi be for the wedding?" Emily questioned.

"Nearly four months. She won't get really big until past twenty weeks." Joe answered kissing the top of her head.

"We will finally get a baby." Emily grinned Joe smiling. He was ready to be a father, he felt ready when he was a teenager, he always saw himself as a mature person but when he was a teenager wasn't really the best time.

"Don't get too excited yet," Joe warned making her laugh against her chest. "I love you." He whispered in her ear.

"I love you too Joe but shush, I want to sleep." She demanded Joe chuckling kissing her head one last time before they settled down and soon fell asleep in each other's arms. They prayed that everything would go well in Demi's pregnancy and afterwards, they had waited so long for a little baby and now they got the chance they didn't want anything or anyone to take that away from them. They trusted Demi though that she would do everything she could to make sure that she stayed health and so did the little one.
