I Figured It Out | Jemi

Thirty Five

Joe cracked a small smile when he entered Demi's house again seeing her holding her arms open for him, he wrapped his arms around her Demi hugging him back laying her head down on his chest. She knew how intense these sessions could be for Joe, they spent an hour together the three of them. Harvey managed to speak to Joey for a little bit but it wasn't the environment for him to stay long. They were wondering if there would be anymore personalities.

"Are you okay?" Demi questioned Joe nodding his head pulling away from her kissing her gently pulling back before she could kiss him back.

"Getting there," He admitted turning to Emily as she came through the door after locking the car behind them both. "I think I will contact Nick, thanks."

"You're welcome, I think it will be good for you to have some family back into your life," Emily stated kissing his cheek gently. "How was El?"

"He was an angel, he's playing with Kean in the living room," Demi begun. "I like having a baby around again."

"Won't be long until you'll wish our baby was Kean's age." Joe joked making Demi giggle pecking his lips gently before they wondered into the living room Elliot reaching out for his parents as soon as he saw them Joe picking him up kissing the side of his head as he begun to play with the bandages on his arms a little bit confused on why they were there.

"Kean I think we need to talk about something about Joey," Demi breathed sitting on the couch with her son Joe sitting down too Elliot now on his lap happy to continue playing with his bandages. He wasn't hurting him so he didn't mind but he soon reached out for his mom when she sat down next to him Emily taking him. "If you ever see Joey not quite himself it's not because he's play alright? He's not himself and doesn't have any way to control what he is doing. If you see Joey not acting himself leave the room and come find me or Emily if she's here, don't speak to him."

"Why?" Kean asked.

"Because Joey doesn't want to hurt you and he doesn't know what he's doing, just leave the room and you'll be safe. It's not Joey's fault it happens, it may be a little scary but you're a big boy now." Demi encouraged Kean nodding his head looking up at Joey.

"I still love you." Joe smiled kissing his head gently as he wrapped his arm around the young boy hugging him.

"I love you too Kean." Demi smiled too rubbing Kean's leg gently.

Joe was staying over at Demi's house that night Elliot leaving with Emily, he wanted to spend some time with his girlfriend. Kean was in bed and so were Joe and Demi but they had a film on keeping warm under the covers.

"Don't you work anymore? I only just realised." Demi giggled slightly shaking her head keeping her eyes on the screen.

"I quit a while back, Willa was right when she said it was holding me back from trying to find another job but now you're not well I haven't had much time to think about looking for a job never mind finding one." Demi breathed, she was beyond worried about Joe and it was stopping her from doing day to day jobs even if he wasn't around.

"What do you want to do?" Joe questioned.

"I've always liked drawing or creating music." Demi admitted, Joe didn't say anything but he was thinking Demi watching his face a small smile on hers. He was a little distant but not the same expression he had when an alter was going to come.

"What about a sketch artist at the station?" Joe suggested after a while. "I'm sure I've seen something advertised."

"I'll have a look, thanks." She kissed his cheek gently making him smile.
