Surprise!

6. The Simple Days

Demi makes her way back into her home after her workout at the gym, plus pilates. She is practically starving as she makes her way to the front door, only being powered by an RX bar to calm her nausea.

Pregnancy is unpredictable, yet beautiful and humbling. 

Trey happens to be in his studio recording a demo for Chris Brown when his wife comes in. Being the lovesick man that he is, he stops what he is doing to go meet his wife.

He finds her in the kitchen standing in the fridge, ready to devour everything in sight. He chuckles and wraps his arms around her waist and kisses her cheek as she warms up to his embrace. 

"What are we eating for breakfast?"

"Your daughter wants ice cream, bananas, pickles, and jambalaya." Trey lets Demi go and becomes concerned about this new craving. Watching Demi eat for two alarms Trey sometimes.

She begins to prepare breakfast for herself offering some to Trey who obliges but settles for the jambalaya. 

Moments later, she has prepared a meal that consists of a bowl of ice cream with sliced bananas on one side and a few slices of spicy pickles on the other side. She tops the ice cream with chocolate granola, excited about the combination that makes her husband gag. She also has a small bowl of jambalaya on the side to eat with her ice cream.

The mother-to-be eats her food, not waiting a second for her husband to eat with her.

Once she is finished eating her meal, she takes a moment to sit, not wanting to ruin a perfectly delicious meal and get sick. Morning sickness does not just apply to mornings, whatsoever.

Trey offers to wash the dishes and joins his wife back at the dining room table and watches her face change as she reads the news. "You've got to be kidding me." She scoffs, nearly throwing her phone.

She passes her phone to Trey and he reads the headline aloud. "Demi Lovato and Trey Songz divorced after three years." He furrows his eyebrows and puts Demi's phone down.

"I'm going to take a bath." Demi states, pushing the frustration to the back of her mind and leaves Trey trailing right behind her.

"Do you want to take a bath with me?" She asks him as she fills the tub and takes off her sports bra and leggings. "Sure." Trey says to her and kisses her forehead before removing his clothes. Demi turns around and hugs Trey, not caring that her big bump is in the way. 

The baby kicks harder, sensing her father is near, making the couple laugh. Trey climbs into the hot bath first and Demi climbs in second, resting her back on Trey's chest as he presses a kiss to her temple.

"A divorce, huh?" Demi asks, playing with her wedding ring.

"That's news to me." Trey huffs as he plays with Demi's hands and relaxes.

Demi takes a deep breath and then laughs as Trey innocently asks, "I wonder who released that article."

"The woman who doesn't want me carrying her son's baby."

After their long bath, Trey and Demi decided to binge-watch Hit The Floor until Demi eventually fell asleep. Trey stayed up watching the show and eventually falls asleep too.

Demi stirs as she and Trey are woken up from the loud thunder outside. She whimpers, slightly afraid of thunder, and buries her head into Trey's chest. Flashbacks replay in her mind about the time she was in a bad car accident during the rain and she grips Trey for dear life.

"Hey, in through your nose and out through your mouth, babe." Trey says before doing the breathing exercises with Demi to calm her down. The thunder still goes, making Demi more anxious.
