"Where's Joe?" Demi questioned as she entered the dining room the next morning. She had checked Joe's room on her way down for breakfast. She rolled her eyes when some of the other children started making kissy faces at her. She sat down though pouring herself some cereal adding milk from the jug in the middle of the table.
"He got up early and went out, he didn't say where just that he would be back for your doctor's appointment later on." Sean explained eating his own breakfast along with the other children, he liked to be around them as much as he could and not stuck in his office.
"Demi poorly?" Toby questioned Demi leaning over kissing his cheek.
"I'm fine Toby I promise, it's just a check up." Demi assured him. They hadn't told any of the children about the pregnancy yet, not until they were sure the babies were okay and had made it past twelve weeks. Then they would have to tell them so they could be careful around Demi so they wouldn't harm the babies in any way.
"That might be him now." Nathan stated as they heard the front door open and close. Demi looked towards the door when it opened smiling when she saw Joe enter but he looked different. He shook his head gently when everyone laughed at him.
"You finally got a haircut after me nagging you so much!" Demi exclaimed as he sat down next to her kissing her cheek gently.
"I got a haircut cause I wanted one, I'm a man now not some teenager with a long stupid haircut." Joe demanded but that just made Demi laugh again Joe nudging her.
"Joe is right, he's becoming a man and doesn't need to look like a teenager. He'll start shaving soon." Sean added in.
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves." Joe answered making everyone laugh.
"Maybe you are starting to need to shave." Demi stated leaning over running her fingers along his chin before he swatted her away.
"Go shave your legs!" Joe teased getting up bringing his bowl with him moving to the living room Demi shaking her head at him.
Demi kissed Joe's cheek as a way of saying thank you for helping her up on the bed. Joe smiled taking hold of her hand. Demi had everything she needed done before she got up onto the bed so she could see her babies. If there was two, it would be made clearer today whether there was or not. She hoped there was, she had convinced herself there were. If there wasn't it would be like losing one.
"How has everything been? Any problems?" Alex questioned Demi shaking her head.
"None at all, even my morning sickness has wore off over the past couple of days." Demi explained laying her head back as she felt him raise her shirt squeezing some warmed up gel on setting the probe down moving it around until he got a clear view what he needed.
"That's good, I'll see if there are any problems then you can have a look." He explained the two of them staying silent as he checked on their potential two babies. Joe leaned over pecking her lips gently before laying his head down on the side of the bed.
"Tired?" Demi questioned Joe nodding his head. He had already expressed how he was up most of the night worrying about the appointment. It was part of the reason he went to get a haircut early. Joe smiled as he felt her run her fingers through his now short hair. "I prefer it short, jokes aside."
"I do too, it's not in my way as much." Joe replied only lifting his head up again when Alex spoke, he was worried something was wrong.
"Here you go." Alex stated twisting the screen around.
"Is everything okay?" Demi inquired.
"Everything is fine with both of them." Alex replied a smile on his face as he pointed out where both babies were but they could already see quite clearly.
