"So what do you actually want now? It was boys than girls than boys again, are you back to girls?" Joe questioned Demi not helping but laugh as she leaned off him looking up at him shrugging her shoulders gently. She knew what she wanted but she wouldn't tell him, she didn't want to ruin anything for him. She was determined to make this work.
"I'm not gonna tell you cause my reaction might give it away." Demi stated leaning up pecking his lips gently, Joe smiled too.
"Do you have a feeling what it is? I know some women do." Joe questioned again Demi shaking her head gently.
"No I don't but I'm glad, I think it will be better this way." Demi admitted.
"Demi Lovato." They heard looking up seeing Alex, they both stood up keeping their hands together as they followed him into his room.
Demi had her weight taken and blood pressure before Joe helped her lay back on the hospital bed. She raised her hospital gown up then taking hold of Joe's hand. He would be leaving the room while Alex revealed to Joe what gender they were having, then it was up to her to make sure that nobody told him what they were having. It would be hard but she'd do it for Joe, she'd do anything for him to keep a smile on his face. He had been through too much and deserved it. It was a couple of minutes later when Alex turned the screen for them to see.
"Baby A, Baby B," He stated pointing at them. "I don't see any problems, they are healthy size but let's just check their heartbeats to see if we have any problems there."
"I love this bit." Demi grinned a smile on her face as Joe squeezed her hand. He could see how excited she was about having these babies, even if they were a little young. Alex allowed the sound of their children's heartbeats to fill up the room, it was a beautiful sound to them both. It showed how they were and whether Demi was providing the right environment for them both.
"I'm proud of you by the way." Demi stated looking over at Joe.
"Why?" He inquired confused.
"It's been a week since you last smoked." Joe grinned leaning down pecking her lips gently. He had been trying to quit all together and it had been working, it was hard but it had been a whole week since he last had one. Working helped not able to go out for one as often as he used to but what gave him the most motivation was knowing he didn't want to have his sons or daughters around the smoke all the time even if he smoked outside most of the time. It would still be on his breath and on his clothes, he didn't want that for his children.
"Thanks, I'm trying really hard." Joe admitted.
"I know you are which is why I'm really proud, keep it up," She squeezed his hand gently. "Do the heartbeats sound good?"
"Yes they sound great, I'm really happy with how things are progressing but be prepared to start getting bigger. Most women start getting really big after twenty weeks." Demi groaned making the two men laugh Joe kissing her temple gently.
"Joe will have to start tying my shoe laces."
"Anything for you or you." Joe stated.
"This is the part where Joe needs to leave the room." Alex spoke to them both.
"Are you sure your sure?" Demi inquired Joe nodding his head standing up.
"I'm positive, I hope your happy with the result." Joe kissed her one last time before he left the room shutting the door behind him. He made his way back to the waiting room where he took a seat. He knew it was going to be really hard not knowing what gender his own children were but the people around him did but it was what he wanted and he trusted Demi to respect his decision and not let it slip out. He only looked up again when Demi exited the room, he could tell she had been crying a little bit, she booked her next appointment before she made her way over.
"Hi." She breathed but smile when he wrapped his arms around her, she couldn't help but let a tear slip from her eyes.
"Happy?" He questioned Demi wrapping her arms around him.
"Yes." She answered.
