Beside You | Jemi

Forty Three

Joe pulled up in a parking place at the hospital. He climbed out of the car making his way over to the other side helping Demi out the car. Once she was on her feet they both made their way through the automatic doors signing in then taking a seat down on the chairs. It felt weird for the two of them to be here surrounded by couples when they were raising the three babies as best friends. Demi still had her feelings for Joe and Joe had grown feelings for Demi but Joe wasn't ready to move on after two months. At the moment it felt like he would never be ready to move on.

"How far along are you?" Demi heard a voice turning her head from watching Joe getting her a cup of water seeing a woman rocking a newborn baby, she guessed girl with the pink head band over her head and a cute little dress.

"Twenty weeks, she's a little cutie." Demi cooed.

"Really only twenty weeks?" Demi nodded her head gently a smile on her face. She always got this question because she looked further along than what she really was.

"It's triplets." She giggled as the new mother's eyes widened.

"Good luck with that, I have my hands full with Lilly May here." Demi smiled as Joe approached them handing her a cup of water.

Demi laid back on the hospital bed after she had changed into the hospital gown and had her weight done and her blood pressure. Joe moved his arms so she could lean back completely kissing her forehead gently before taking a seat on the chair which was seated next to the bed. He held her hand wanting her to know he was here for them if anything was wrong.

"So this is your twenty week scan?" Demi nodded her head. "Have there been any problems?"

"I still can't feel much movement coming from baby C, Joe keeps trying to tell me that there isn't anything wrong but I keep worrying." Demi stated.

"Baby C will be at the back where you probably won't feel as much." She advised as she set up the machine setting it up so they could see how the babies were.

"See I told you." Joe teased slightly only getting a thump from Demi. They went through procedures making sure that each of the babies were okay. Baby C was growing but still smaller than his or hers older siblings.

"Would you like to know the gender?" She questioned.

"Wait gender? It's just one gender?" Demi questioned back.

"Yes it is," She began. "Would you like to know?" They both nodded their heads quickly Joe squeezing Demi's hand their eyes glistening with tears as they heard they were having three little girls just like Demi had predicted.

Joe helped Demi sit back down on the couch taking a seat next to her. They had gone to the mall after their appointment and brought some dresses for their three girls. They knew financially it was going to be hard to have three girls but with Joe being head chef and Demi having some savings herself. They would have to watch what they spent.

"You were right, three little girls." Joe grinned kissing the side of her head.

"It's a little overwhelming but I think I could get used to the fact it's three girls." Demi answered looking up at him a smile on her face as there was one on his too. They both slowly leaned in getting closer and closer until Joe brushed his lips on hers. He closed the gap pressing his lips onto hers Demi kissing back straight away as her hands came up to his cheeks. Joe deepened the kiss but it soon led to more as he pushed his tongue into her mouth Demi groaning as he did. He soon pulled away standing up quickly.

"No I can't do this!" He darted out of the room as Demi whimpered letting the tears fall down her cheeks.
