I Figured It Out | Jemi

Thirteen

Joe entered his apartment after work knowing that Emily would already be there with Ashton, she had started to make the effort of coming down just before he came home so he could spend some time with Ashton before she went home with him of a night. Joe dumped his bags down on the floor hanging his coat up before making his way into the living room sitting down next to Emily who was rubbing Ashton's back after being fed.

"Hey how was work?" Emily questioned then noticing the marks on his necks, Joe personally didn't care. He had been teased by his work mates after lunch because they had noticed them, presumed that he had gone home for lunch or something. "Better than I thought clearly."

"I don't wanna talk about it." Joe muttered leaning back on the couch.

"What's wrong?" Emily questioned laying Ashton down in his arms when he had let out a little burp Joe kissing his forehead gently.

"Nothing, I just don't want to talk about it." Joe answered as he admired his son who was still awake staring up at his father. He was nearly two months old but was yet to smile, Joe had been seeing a lot more of him now which he was thankful for.

"That bad huh?" She questioned Joe shaking his head.

"No it was amazing." Joe approved, he couldn't get it out of his head. Even if it was more of a fuck than anything else. It was amazing and he couldn't deny his feelings for Demi even more now that they had experienced what they had done together.

"Then what's wrong?" Emily inquired.

"I-I didn't use protection." He muttered under his breath his eyes moving to Emily.

It was a month later when Demi entered the police station again. She hadn't seen Joe since they shared what they had done together, she hadn't taken Willa's advice and ask him out herself because he clearly wasn't interested but at the moment that wasn't what was on her mind. She wondered over to the front desk where the middle-aged man looked up at her.

"Um is Joe here? I need to speak to him." Demi questioned.

"Regarding what exactly?" He questioned back Demi sighing looking down at the counter before looking back up at him.

"A baby." She breathed the man nodding his head, he knew that he had a son already and that it could be important. He wondered away before coming back with Joe who knew exactly what was going on as soon as he saw her. It had been a month since they shared what they had done together and for her to suddenly turn up again after so long he knew she was pregnant.

"Follow me." Joe muttered Demi following him as he begun to walk but she only spoke when nobody else was around.

"What's wrong with you? I know I don't know you as such but whenever I have been around you you've never acted like this before." Demi stated following him into a room which looked to be a questioning room which wasn't being used.

"Like you said you don't know me." Joe answered slumping down on a chair.

"I-Is Ashton okay?" Demi feared Joe nodding his head cracking a small smile at the thought of his twelve week old son.

"He's perfect, smiling."

"Then what's wrong? I don't know if I like the attitude you showing." Demi stated as she sat down herself opposite him as he stared down at the desk below them. He didn't say anything else for a couple of moments before he looked back up at her again Demi looking back at him as he was about to speak again.

"I know your pregnant, I've known since the moment we got dressed because I didn't use protection and I didn't think you'd be on the pill or something." Joe answered.
