Joe rushed up the stairs when he heard Demi come back about fifteen minutes later. The children were inside playing now and would be okay until Joe could come back down and keep an eye on them. He grabbed her hand as she was about to enter their bathroom Demi turning around to him their eyes catching one another. Joe could see she was panicking.

"Demi there's no point stressing over this okay? Just go take the test and we'll go from there." Joe demanded but Demi let the tears roll down her cheeks.

"Joe I cheated on you! This might not be your baby!" Demi screamed at him not surprised when he let go of her hand his eyes falling to the ground. "I'm praying really hard that I'm not pregnant because I don't want to bring a baby into a world like this when we're not even as in love as we used to be, I know I'm the one who ruined that but I-I just can't imagine carrying and raising a little boy or girl who isn't from the man I love." Joe tried to grab her hand again but she got away shutting the door and locking it. Joe ran his fingers through his hair as he sunk down onto the bed.

Joe only looked up from the floor again when he heard a cry from in the bathroom. He sighed getting up knocking on the door gently as he let his own tears slip from his eyes.

"Demi let me in," Joe demanded but he just continued to hear her crying. It took a couple more goes until the door was opened and Joe entered. He sat down on the floor next to her wrapping his arm around her letting her bury her head in his chest. "Everything will be okay." Joe assured her kissing her hair gently.

"Kinda hard to believe when your crying! I'm carrying a baby Joe that might not even be yours!" Demi answered Joe pulling away from her wiping away her tears with his thumb but more begun to fall replacing old tears.

"This isn't good for the baby is it?" Demi sighed trying to calm down a little bit. As much as she was upset that she was pregnant she wanted the baby. It could still be Joe's and they could still raise a son or daughter together but if it was the guy she slept with baby then she didn't know what she would think. She knew Joe would never trust her again or want to be with her.

"I-I don't know what I'm gonna do." Demi mumbled.

"You're going to cheer up relax in that bath before dinner and spend some time with the kids. Your raising a baby Demi whether it's mine or another's man but this time I'm breaking up with you.," Demi looked up at him. "I-I thought maybe if I just forgave you I could get away with not having to end things but I'm finding it hard to trust you, just now I thought you might be going out to see some other man. I'm not saying I don't love you because I do, I just need time to learn to trust you again." Demi sighed looking towards the ground.

"I can understand that but Joe there won't be another time, I'll wait for you as long as it takes you," Demi answered. "Are you moving out?"

"I don't think I want to, I'd miss the kids too much. I'll just sleep in the spare bedroom." Joe kissed her forehead gently before standing up again helping Demi up.

"Thanks Joe, I hope we can still be friends until you're ready again." Demi stated Joe smiling nodding his head gently.

"Of course, you'll always be my best friend Demi," Joe replied bringing her into a hug Demi smiling as she hugged him back. "We could be raising a baby Demi." Demi smiled slightly at the thought of having another baby with Joe.

"But what if the baby is this other guy's. I-I don't even know his name!" Joe shushed her gently kissing her sweaty forehead.

"Do you have his number?" Demi nodded her head. "Then you'll need to call him to tell him what's going on. He deserves to know if he is potentially becoming a father." Demi sighed nodding her head gently knowing he was right. She just didn't like the idea of carrying anyone else's baby but Joe's.
