"Have you got a hospital appointment yet?" Joe questioned as they slowly walked home together. Joe could see that she was getting nervous, he was too but there wasn't much they could do. Either way they were going to have this baby and Demi would be eighteen soon and could leave if she wanted, they would help her and make sure she was on her feet. She wanted to raise this baby with Joe, for him to be around as much as he could.
"No, I'll make one later after we've told Sean and Nathan, I hope they don't lecture me too much. It wasn't as if we didn't use protection." Joe wrapped his arm around her kissing the side of her head gently Demi smiling enjoying the feeling.
"I'm sure everything will be fine, if not we'll run away together."
"Would you really do that though?" Demi questioned looking up at him as he looked back down at her pecking her lips gently.
"No, I don't think I can leave my mom alone with Gary, last night was long enough for my liking." Joe sighed Demi snaking her arm around his middle comforting him. She was just glad that the beatings had stopped for him. But she was worried about Denise as well, nobody deserved to go through any sort of abuse.
Joe and Demi made their way back to the care home where they asked if they could speak to Sean and Nathan. The two workers couldn't help be worried about what was happening. Why the two of them would be after talking to them. Joe was holding onto Demi's hand for support not wanting her to stress out too much. It wasn't good for their baby.
"Um I'm pregnant, nearly four weeks." Demi revealed only squeezing onto Joe's hand tighter, she didn't want to see their reaction.
"How did this happen?" Nathan questioned.
"I'm sure you don't need the sex talk Nathan," Sean stated then looking towards them. "What are you going to do about the baby Demi?"
"I'll be able to finish school off then I guess I'm looking for a job I can do at home, Joe already has a job when school's over. We're planning to raise our son or daughter, it will be hard we know but we both think we can do this." Demi answered.
"I think your both underestimating how hard this is going to be." Nathan stated Joe and Demi looking between each other.
"We probably are but it's just a challenge we're willing take. We'll have support from my family, my parents will be willing to help. I have three older sisters all with kids, I know more about babies then you'd think." Joe argued but it wasn't harsh. He was raised better than that.
"As long as you know what you're coming up against," Sean begun. "Would you like to go down to the hospital now? I have a friend and I'm sure he'll be able to squeeze you in and see how baby is doing?" Joe and Demi looked between each other before nodding their heads.
"Yeah I think the sooner we get around to it the better." Demi stated.
"I'll be fine here with the kids, Daisy will be here soon to help." Nathan told his boss whishing Joe and Demi good luck before he left the door closing behind him.
"Do you have somewhere you need to be Joe?" Drake questioned Joe shaking his head.
"I'm staying with my sister, I'll just text her to say where I am on the way." Joe answered the three of them standing up following Sean out.
"Parenthood is the best feeling in the world. I hope you can make it through it." Sean told them before climbing into the driver's side of the car. Joe and Demi smiled at each other before they climbed into the back. They were excited to see how their baby was, Demi was going to do everything she could to make sure her baby would enter the world healthy and Joe would do everything he could to keep them both safe.
