Beside You | Jemi

Seventy Eight

Joe led Demi into the room shutting the door behind them. She had the biggest smile on her face laying her hands down on her twenty five week bump. She felt Joe hug her from behind smiling too as she leaned back against him his hands laying down on hers, his chin leaned down on her shoulder as he stared out into the room in front of them.

"I would say you can take the blindfold off but I kinda like this position." He whispered in her ear making her giggle.

"Tough I wanna see it." Demi answered freeing her hands before leaning up peeling the blindfold from her eyes. She had the biggest smile on her face as her eyes wondered around the room. The walls were all painted a darkish blue colour the crib set up against one of the walls pictures hanging up above the crib of their family. The floor was wooden but a spotty rug covered part of the floor a chair sitting on top. In the corner was a changing table and a tall white wardrobe already full of clothes and toys at the bottom.

"Do you like it?" Joe questioned unwrapping his arms from her watching as she entered the room a little bit more looking at everything in detail and not from a distance.

"I love it Joe and I know our son will love it too, thank you so much." Demi expressed Joe smiling. The past couple of months had been relaxing. Joe and Demi had decided to have a long engagement planning to not get married until their son was a little older, they wanted him to be a part of the wedding as well as his three older siblings. They hadn't heard anything from Wilmer since even though Demi had expressed that she would still like to be friends, she knew that wasn't enough for him though. They both wished him the best over a text and told him he knew where they were if he ever needed anything. Joe hadn't held a grudge. They were happy with their growing family and couldn't wait to welcome their second son.

Demi was sat down on the chair Joe had brought for the nursery. She knew she would be spending a lot of time with her son in this chair and actually couldn't wait to have him here. She couldn't stop looking around the room, Joe really had done a amazing job with the help of their son's uncles. Demi's eyes wondered to the door smiling when Joe ushered in their four year olds.

"It's blue!" Elliot exclaimed looking hopeful at his parents. They hadn't told them they had been to the hospital yet to see if they were having a little brother or sister yet, they were keeping it a surprise from them until now. Since they told the three of them they had been excited to know if they were having a brother or a sister but also to meet them. They would have to wait a little while longer. Joe picked the four year old up in his arm kissing his cheek gently.

"Mommy and daddy went to the hospital a couple of days ago and the nurse told us that mommy is having a little boy, you're going to have a brother." They all squealed Demi smiling as Evie and Elsie gave her a hug being careful not to hurt their baby brother.

"What's his name?" Evie questioned looking up at her mother.

"We haven't come up with a name yet princess, we were hoping for some help." Demi grinned kissing her hair gently.

"Elsie!" Elliot shouted.

"No he can't have my name!" Elsie protested the two parents laughing. They didn't think they had much hope of getting help from their three children.

"I think it's bed time now, give mommy and your baby brother a kiss goodnight." Joe encouraged setting Elliot down smiling as they all kissed Demi but also her bump which was small compared to the bump she had when she was carrying the triplets.

"Goodnight my angels." Demi cooed smiling as Joe leaned down kissing her gently before pulling away kissing her bump too.
