Forty Seven

"Are you ready for kindergarten again?" Joe questioned the next morning as he helped him get dressed the next morning. He could do most of it by himself but he needed help with buttons and doing his jeans up. Zack nodded his head as he watched Joe button up his shirt, he hadn't said much more then what he had yesterday but that didn't both Joe as long as he was happy. "Come on then, let's go and we'll go in the car since it's raining." Zack he'd Joe's hand as they exited the room, Joe gave him his back lifting Mason up from the play mat. They were all in the car and heading towards Kindergarten but saw Demi walking with Nevaeh in the rain, he pulled over winding the window down. "Get in!"

"I like the rain though." Nevaeh pouted as Demi lifted her into the car.

"Yes but I don't want a soggy little girl while she's at school." Demi stated strapping her in before she climbed in next to her Joe pulling off when everyone was in.

"Hi Mason!" Nevaeh cooed Mason looking over at her giggling slightly.

Joe and Demi dropped Zack and Nevaeh off at school before they climbed back into the car. They were spending as much time with one another before they would start school and work when they could only spend Joe's day's off together and whenever he wasn't working nights. Mason was sat on the play mat with Demi playing as Joe entered with a coffee in his hands for himself and a glass of water for Demi setting them down.

"I'll tell my family about the baby when you're a bit further on." He stated sitting down with both of them handing Mason a toy.

"Do you think they'll be excited?" Demi questioned.

"Yeah I think so, dad is still a little shaky from the heart attack and what's everything to be done before he goes. I think having a baby will put him at rest a bit, he may even want us to get married." Demi laughed as Joe rolled his eyes.

"You don't want to marry me?" Demi inquired.

"Well not now but maybe one day." Joe answered.

"Right answer." Joe laughed shaking his head gently. He was excited about having a baby of his own, seeing the whole pregnancy and meeting his child which was half of him and half of the women he loved. This baby would never take away the love he felt for the children which weren't biologically his. He loved all three of them.

"Mom will definitely be happy about a grandchild; it will be their first though." Demi smiled as Joe took hold of her hand.

"Let's hope for a girl then for your mom, I feel bad for her." Demi teased.

"Well it isn't as if we could pick our own genders," Joe defended himself Demi laughing. Mason looked up at them both squealing wanting attention. "We're sorry Mason, are we ignoring you?" Joe took him from the floor siting him on his lap. Demi leaned over tickling him making him laugh out loud kicking his legs slightly.

"Nothing cuter than a laughing baby," Demi cooed tickling more making him laugh more Joe smiling as he watched. Demi stopped smiling as Mason acted tired snuggling into Joe's arm a little more. "He's adorable."

"Yeah he is," Joe agreed smoothing out his hair slightly looking over at Demi seeing a look of panic on her face. "What's wrong?"

"I-I think I'm bleeding." Demi feared.

"Think?" Joe questioned.

"Alright I am bleeding." Demi answered standing up quickly as Joe did too bringing Mason with him quickly putting his shoes on.

"Let's get to the hospital." Joe demanded.
