I Figured It Out | Jemi

Forty Seven

They all got ready to go out and search for Joe but just as they were about to leave the house Joe entered. Harvey was behind him and so was Emily with Elliot in her arms, she didn't know what was going on and was just as scared to learn what Joe wanted from this talk, it scared them that Harvey was here more than anything.

"C-Can we talk?" Joe stammered. "All of us?"

"Of course." Demi breathed taking his hand leading him into the living room everyone else following sitting down scattered around the seating area. Demi leaned up wiping away his tears when she noticed he had started crying. She thought she'd be a little scared around him after what she had experienced just a couple of hours ago. But she knew that it wasn't Joe nor was it his fault. She just felt sorry for her boyfriend and best friend.

"Joe explained to me what happened today and begged for me to help him, the only way he can get any form of help is to go into a residential home. The waiting list for the one patients from the hospital are sent to has a waiting list of twenty people on top of Joe." Harvey explained knowing Joe couldn't. He had his head buried into Demi's shoulder Demi running her fingers through his hair.

"But that is ridiculous, these personalities have caused him serious harm and now someone else!" Willa exclaimed but nobody blamed Joe for any of this.

"That is why I've signed him up to another place." Harvey explained.

"Great, where is it?" Emily questioned as Elliot slept against her chest.

"England," Harvey revealed Demi shushing Joe as he sobbed slightly into her shoulder, she wanted to cry herself but she wouldn't. They didn't know how long he was going to be gone for. He could miss everything, Elliot's milestones or even his first birthday, Demi's twenty week scan when they would find out when they were going to have a boy or a girl and again even the birth of his second child. He would miss it all but still they knew it was going to be for the best. "You all need to talk about it without my opinion, Joe will let me know in a couple of days what his decision will be then we'll go from there. See you all soon." Harvey got up and left without another word.

Demi led Joe away from everyone upstairs into her bedroom, Joe sniffled slightly as they laid down on the bed Demi holding him in his arms.

"I will be for the best Joe." Demi breathed smiling as she felt him lay his hands on her bump, for comfort more than anything. It was hard for her to try and convince her boyfriend to leave to England when they were welcoming a baby into the world but she'd rather have him better and around their son or daughter in a safe manner then him not being well enough to be left alone with them.

"I-I just don't want to miss anything." Joe stammered kissing her bare skin.

"I know and we want you here too but it is for the best Joe, you can get better then be around your children without having to worry about you not being safe enough." Demi explained.

"I-I know it is," Joe spoke threatening to cry again. "I just wish it could wait until after the scan." Demi ran her fingers through his hair again to sooth him.

"We'll see about hooking a web cam up so you can still see everything," Demi suggested Joe cracking a small smile. "You'd have to be awake pretty late though."

"I don't care, I want to know if I'm having a son or daughter at the same time you do." Joe answered kissing her bump again.

"I'll speak to the midwife, the sooner you go the sooner you'll get better and can come home." Demi praised but Joe shook his head letting the tears fall.

"R-Recovery can take years Demi." Joe stuttered Demi letting the tears fall from her eyes hoping he wouldn't notice. She didn't want to scare him out of going. He was a danger to himself and other people, it was for the best he went to England and got better in his own time, not to rush it, for it to be done properly.
