I Figured It Out | Jemi

Fifty One

Joe came back around when Matt had realised what he had done. Joe looked around at what was happening seeing his mother holding her hand to her nose as it was bleeding seeing people staring and whispering to one another. He let the tears fall down his cheeks again not liking all the eyes which were on him.

"Mom," Joe whimpered Denise shushing him bringing him into a hug. "I-I'm sorry." Denise had to hold back her own tears.

"It's okay Joe, it's not your fault," Denise assured him pulling away from him kissing his cheek gently. "Let's sit back down." She led him back over to their seats Joe crying gently as he sat back down, he still had eyes on him wondering what was wrong with him. Denise strapped him in before she covered his body with a blanket then taking her seat again holding a bit of tissue to her nose once she was strapped in.

"I-I'm sorry." Joe muttered Denise laying her hand on his leg rubbing it gently.

"Don't worry about it Joe, it's not serious. Get some rest, it's going to be a long flight," Denise breathed letting him lean his head on her shoulder. She begun to run her fingers through his hair to sooth him a little bit. Joe enjoyed the comfort, he hadn't had his mother's comfort since he was a young child. He was desperate for it. "I'll always love you Joe no matter what."

"I love you too." Joe muttered before drifting off to sleep.

"Is he okay?" The woman asked Denise nodding her head.

"I think the pilot is safe to take off, I'll try and keep him asleep for as long as I can." Denise stated the woman nodding her head before wondering away but she was even concerned for Joe. The plane soon settled down once they had taken off but they didn't understand what Joe was going through, that is wasn't under his control that he punched his mom. Denise just admired her son as he slept continuing to run her fingers through his hair, he seemed to enjoy it. She just wanted everything to be okay for her son and his family.

Demi wasn't waiting around to phone Willa to come and look after Kean while she went to the hospital. Colton joined her not wanting to be alone. She was scared that her baby was hurt or worse wouldn't make it through this. She knew she had been stressing a lot over the months because of Joe but she would never blame him for this.

"Willa is pregnant." Colton announced.

"She is?" Colton smiled nodding his head.

"Carter is at a age now we could start thinking about having another." Colton explained.

"I thought I was ready to have this baby but clearly not, Joe is just so ill and now I'm stressing our baby out." Colton grabbed her hand squeezing it gently.

"It will be okay, you'll still have your baby after this." Colton promised her kissing her hand gently. Demi sighed leaning back on the bed a little bit. They had managed to stop the bleeding but they were running tests now or had ran them waiting on the results.

"I hope so, I think this baby is one of the reasons Joe wants to go to London to get better and not wait for the treatment centre here to help him." Demi answered.

"He has plenty of reasons why and he'll come back whenever he is ready a changed man. This is for the best and clearly we all agree otherwise someone would have spoke up." Colton stated Demi nodding her head. Colton was one of her best friends, she was glad he could be here.

"It's no wonder Willa wants to marry you, your an amazing man." Demi praised.

"You're not so bad yourself Lovato." Colton joked making her laugh, they looked up again when the doctor came back.

"Your baby is healthy again but we will need you to take it easy for a couple of days, you've been stressing her out a little too much." He explained Demi choking slightly.

"S-She?" Demi stammered.

"Oh I'm sorry! It just slipped out!" He exclaimed but Demi shook her head as the tears fell from her eyes.
