I Figured It Out | Jemi

Sixty Three

It had been about three weeks since Demi gave birth to Thalia and Oliver, Joe was now required to fly back to America and finish his treatment off. It was a sad time but again they all knew it was for the best, a bonus was Elliot was now one and Joe got to spend the day with him on his son's first birthday. Demi would be flying with Joe this time, he needed someone there in case anything kicked off, they had seen the new personalities while he was here but also the old ones. Matt seemed calmer to them which was giving them hope that Joe wouldn't be away for much longer.

"Are you sure your okay to fly?" Joe questioned Demi nodding her head.

"I'm sure Joe, the doctor said I can and that's all that matters. Thalia and Oliver have plenty of milk. We'll all be fine." Demi assured him leaning up kissing his lips gently Joe kissing her back as they smiled through the kiss.

"I love you." Joe mumbled as he pulled away slightly but they were still close Demi able to feel his breath on her lips. It was tempting.

"I love you too." Demi whispered pecking his lips before she pulled away beginning to pack her bag again but she wouldn't be long. She'd be saying goodbye to Joe, spending the night in a hotel flying back early morning.

"Marry me." Joe spoke quickly Demi stopping what she was doing turning around.

"What?" Demi questioned taken aback slightly.

"I know we haven't been long together but we love each other and I don't need to wait a couple of years to marry you. I want to do it now, well not now but when I get out of treatment. It will be something to look forward to." Joe explained.

"Joe..." Demi begun but Joe cut her off again.

"Let me speak, I haven't got a ring but," Joe begun getting down on one knee. "Will you marry me when I get out of treatment however long it takes?" Demi laughed slightly as she wiped away the tears that fell from her eyes.

"Of course Joe, you didn't need to babble on. I was with you when you asked the first time," Joe laughed with her allowing her to help him up the two of them sharing a kiss Joe wrapping his arms around her in an embrace. "But only when you can control these personalities, I don't want to be marrying Joey." Joe laughed again kissing the top of her head.

"We should go get you a ring before the flight." Joe stated.

"Let's do it in England, they've always looked amazing over there." Demi stated closing her eyes enjoying the feeling of his arms around her.

"Daddy!" Elliot whined Joe shushing him as he lifted him back up in his arms kissing the side of his head gently. It was a happy day for him when he heard his son say his name for the first time. It was his first word. Emily had been encouraging him to say it while he was in England.

"I'll be home soon then we can go snatch some ladies up." Joe joked laughing as he got a glare from both Demi and Emily.

"Don't tell him that! He's not leaving me yet," Emily demanded kissing his forehead then Joe's cheek. "Just take care of yourself alright?" Joe nodded his head handing Elliot to her.

"Of course, I have a family to get back to." Joe spoke wrapping his arm around Demi kissing the side of her head gently. He had already said goodbye to Thalia and Oliver the two of them well enough for Joe to hold them before he would have to leave.

"We should go so we don't miss this flight." Demi breathed Joe nodding his head sharing one last hug with Emily before they both left the house hand in hand climbing into the taxi which was waiting for them. Emily stood in the doorway waving them off. They tried not to get emotional but it was hard when Joe was leaving for an uncertain amount of time.
