Beside You | Jemi

Twenty Nine

Weeks pass by which turned into two months everyone trying to keep in the same routine, going to work and when they wasn't spending some time with Demi who was now eight weeks pregnant. She felt different by now but not any movement, she just felt tingles like she just had butterflies in her stomach but she couldn't wait when she felt movement for the first time or when the baby kicked. She was excited for the pregnancy to progress more. She had become good friends with Willa and Emily by now, she had that female comfort she didn't have when she was younger.

"Demi are you ready?!" Joe called up the stairs of her house.

"Nearly, stop rushing me!" Demi called back Joe shaking his head gently.

"We'll be late for your appointment!" Joe shouted.

"Joe leave her be, she won't be long," Emily spoke laying a hand on her back. "I know your nervous about this appointment but everything is okay, nothing has gone wrong so far." Joe sighed nodding his head gently looking at Demi as she came down the stairs.

"I promise we're both fine." Demi assured him kissing his cheek gently.

"I just want to keep you both safe." Joe admitted.

"I know you do and it's sweet but I'm a big girl and I don't need you to look after me all the time," Demi picked her bag up from the side. "Ready."

"Come on then." Joe stated taking Emily's hand leading her out so Demi could stay back and lock the door behind them. They were all nervous about this appointment but Joe was the only one who seemed to be showing his emotions.

"We should go out for a meal afterwards." Demi suggested as she climbed into the back of the car with Joe Emily being the one who was driving.

"I think I'd be up to that." Emily stated Joe agreeing too. Joe smiled as Demi took his hand, she always knew how to calm him when he was nervous.

They entered the maternity part of the hospital together Demi signing in before they all took a seat on the chairs. They couldn't help but smile when they looked around seeing women in all stages of pregnancy. There was even a couple with their newborn baby here for a check up. Demi couldn't wait to hold her baby in her arms knowing that she would be the first to hold him or her before she handed them over to the people who will be raising them.

"Demi Lovato," They followed the midwife named Kelly into the room where her examination would be done. It would be the first time they would see the baby up on the screen. "Change into this hospital gown then we'll take your blood pressure and weight." Demi did as she was told allowing Joe to help her up onto the bed once she was done. It was at a slight tilt so she was able to see the screen from where she was sat.

"No I haven't had any problems but it is early days." Demi answered her question.

"Just stay positive." She encouraged Demi smiling. The midwife squeezed the warmed up gel on Demi's flat stomach before setting the probe down. She moved it around until she got a clear view anticipation growing more and more the more time went by. They became worried when they saw the midwife's reaction.

"What's wrong?" Joe questioned squeezing Emily and Demi's hand a little bit. If anything was wrong he would have to be strong for them.

"I'm just going to get a colleagues opinion before I reveal anything, there's nothing wrong, you can relax." She left the room but it was hard for anyone to relax when they didn't know what was going on. Another midwife entered the two of them looking at the screen nodding at each other, they were congratulated before the midwife left to go back to her duties.

" It's not unusual for multiple babies to be conceived on a IVF and I believed I could see three babies, my colleague can too so congratulations your having triplets."
