Once In A Lifetime | Jemi

Forty Five

"I made an appointment for a month's time when I'm a little further along than we can see squish for the first time." Demi grinned as she held onto Joe's hand who pushed the stroller with his other hand. Mason was wide awake babbling to himself as he stared up at the sky watching the clouds as they passed by him.

"Squish?" Joe questioned squeezing her hand gently.

"Yeah I thought we'd give him or her a nickname so we don't have to say it all the time, I don't like the word it." Demi stated Joe smiling kissing her head gently as they continued to stroll. They were taking their time as they set off in plenty of time. They hadn't got a call from the school so they knew Zack had settled down. Joe was eager to know how he had done, whether he had surprised them all and had done extremely well but he'd love the boy either way.

"You do know now we're going to be tied to one another for the rest of our lives?" Joe questioned a smile on his face as Demi smiled too.

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Demi teased.

"Oh definitely a good thing, have you seen my sexy body?" Joe teased back as Demi rolled her eyes Joe laughing at her.

"I wouldn't mind seeing you most days for the rest of our lives." Demi stated looking up at him smiling as he leaned down kissing her gently.

"I love you." He whispered Demi only smiling more at his words.

"I love you too Joe." Demi answered leaning her head on his arms as they continued to walk slowly towards the school.

Joe and Demi were the first parents to arrive so they sat down on the bench Joe bringing Mason out so he had some more freedom. Parents weren't too far behind missing their children as they went to school for the first time. Some mothers have already cooed over Mason who enjoyed the attention as much as the enjoyed fussing him.

"Mason will only be a year old when we have our baby." Demi stated.

"Well he'll be about one and a half when squish comes." Joe corrected her Mason still on his knee facing Demi as his fingers fiddled with a toy.

"Do you think you'll adopt them when your asked?" Demi inquire realising that at the moment Zack and Mason wouldn't be around all the time. They'd have a review in a year the if they were doing well they'd be going for adoption. Joe had other plans.

"I think so, I couldn't imagine neither of them not being around, they're my sons." Demi smiled leaning her head on his shoulder pulling faces at Mason who squealed slightly giggling as she watched him.

"I can't wait to have my little girl back, it's so quiet without here." Demi stated as she sat back up straight feeling Joe kiss her head.

"Could you imagine how quiet it would be if we didn't have this little monkey," Joe stated jigging his knee up and down making Mason laugh more. The other parents were smiling at the laugher, Demi kissed Mason's cheek as Joe lifted him up. "Let's put you away before your big brother comes with Nevaeh shall we." Joe set him down in the stroller making sure he was strapped in just in time for the school bell to ring, it made him whine a little bit not used to the sound or how loud it was to his tiny ears.

"Aw do you not like the school bell, most other kids don't either." Demi cooed lifting his pacifier into his mouth which made him calm down a little bit.

"Look Mason it's Zack." Joe encouraged smiling as Zack ran over with Nevaeh.

"Daddy!" He exclaimed jumping onto his lap hugging him tightly.
