Joe slumped down on a bench cracking a small smile as he looked at the picture he had taken on his phone seeing Demi holding Eloise for the first time. He was a proud father of not just two boys now but a little girl. He scrolled through his contacts until he came across his mother's name. He phoned her it not taking long for her to answer.
"Is everything okay?" She questioned Joe laughing slightly.
"Hi daddy!" He heard knowing that his boys were there too Denise putting it on speaker so they could hear the good news too.
"Yeah everything is fine mom, Demi gave birth." Joe stated wanting to be the one who gave his mother the good news.
"Stop holding it back, do I have another Grandson or a Granddaughter?" Denise inquired Joe laughing again even if he did feel a little down.
"We have a girl, we called her Eloise and she's a healthy little girl." Joe revealed smiling when he heard his mother squeal over the phone as well as his boys who had expressed before they wanted a little sister.
"I bet she is beautiful." Denise cooed.
"She is, looks like her mom." Joe sighed slightly.
"What's wrong Joe?" Denise inquired taking the phone off speaker hearing her leave the room so his sons didn't hear what's going on.
"Demi's mom came and she wanted her there while she gave birth which I understand but I didn't really feel a part of the birth. While she was in labour she was speaking to her mom and basically blocking me out, it was only when Eloise was here that I was even noticed. She didn't even curse at me for causing her pain!" Joe exclaimed sighing at the end as he ran his fingers through her hair.
"I presume you're not with them now then?" Joe shook his head even though she couldn't see over the phone. He felt a mixture of emotions.
"I came to tell you and the boys the good news." Joe stated.
"You need to go be with her Joe, a woman that has been through what Demi has over the past ten hours deserves her partner to be there with her baby." Denise encouraged.
"I know and I'm out here, I'll talk you soon." They said their goodbyes before they hung up. Joe entered the hospital once again.
Joe entered Demi's hospital room after greeting everyone outside, his eyes landed on Demi who was nursing Eloise for the first time. Demi watched as he wondered over taking his seat back on the chair next to her bed.
"Are you okay?" Joe questioned.
"I am but are you?"Demi inquired Joe nodding his head gently. "Then where did you go?" Joe looked down at her knowing he probably should have told her at least where he was going, he only went to call his mother to tell her the good news.
"I went to call my mom to tell her the news." Joe answered kissing her forehead.
"Without holding your daughter for the first time?" Demi questioned Joe only realising then that he hadn't held her yet.
"I hadn't realised, how is she?"
"She's at least feeding, hopefully she'll have a nap afterwards and we can get some rest, I think we both need it," Demi breathed Joe nodding his head in agreement. "Are you sure there isn't something you want to talk to me about?"
"Yeah but not at this moment, like you said we need rest and Eloise comes first at the moment," Demi nodded her head. "The boys are excited they have a little sister though." They both smiled, they couldn't wait for their sons to meet their little sister for the first time. It was going to be a very special moment for them.
