Fifty Five

"Is he asleep?" Demi inquired as they entered the apartment. They had looked for a house for themselves and would be having a look around this weekend when they were both free and Denise and Paul would look after the kids again while they did. It would be easier for them to look around without having to push a stroller and make sure Nevaeh and Zack were still with him.

"I think so; I'll go lay him down for a little bit. He may have a little headache." Joe stated making his way straight in Zack's SpongeBob room laying him down on the bed. He tucked the boy in before exiting the room making sure the door was closed behind him so Nevaeh or Zack would disturb him. That was another reason a house would be better, the bedrooms would be upstairs. "Hey." Joe lifted Nevaeh up in his arms as she bounded over.

"Zack needs to rest baby girl so be a little quieter." Demi lectured slightly as she changed Mason's diaper before he got too fussy.

"Zack fell and got plaster, if I fall will I get plaster?" Nevaeh asked.

"It depends how badly your ouchy is." Joe stated sitting her down on the couch switching the TV on for her to watch.

"And now we a clean little Mason." Demi cooed as she lifted him back up Mason babbling as he looked around reaching out for Joe who took him.

"I'm going to take him into the kitchen for a bit before he gets too loud." Joe stated pecking her lips as she stood up before making his way into the kitchen.

Demi woke Zack up an hour before dinner was ready so he had chance to wake up before he would have to eat. Demi took Mason back so Joe could cook dinner which was just a quick pasta dish that he knew everyone liked. They all sat at the table and ate Mason having what they were eating in a tiny portion Joe feeding him in between having his own.

"Mason like pasta!" Nevaeh exclaimed as Mason was clapping his hands.

"Yes but he's also messy with it!" Demi answered wiping his mouth gently with a tissue giggling as he pushed her hands away.

"Mason George what are you doing?" Joe demanded making him giggle. "It's a good job you're cute otherwise you'd be in loads of trouble.

"They are so fun at this age." Demi stated.

"I know; it will be us soon." Joe whispered making Demi smile at the thought of having her baby here. She'd have to wait but she knew it would be worth it. Joe fed Mason the last little bit of pasta he had before beginning to feed him a yogurt which he liked as his desert. Nevaeh and Zack often had a little piece of fruit.

"What can I have for desert mommy?" Nevaeh inquired.

"Nothing until you finish your dinner." Demi stated grabbing her fork scooping the pasta up into a pile so it was easier for her to eat.

"I don't want anymore." She demanded whining.

"You need to eat princess so you won't be hungry later." Joe stated.

"If you eat this then me and Joey will tell you some good news." Demi compromised laughing as she picked up her fork and finished her dinner with a couple of mouthful. Joe got up grabbing a little slice of cake for Nevaeh as a treat keeping Zack's aside until he finished.

"What?" Nevaeh demanded to know.

"Well mommy is having a baby and we're all going to move in together." Demi revealed smiling as Nevaeh got excited.

"Really?!" Nevaeh inquired looking over at Joe who smiled too nodding his head.

"Really," He answered looking down at Zack who was next to him. "What do you think about it?" Zack ignored him finishing his pasta before he got up wondering into the living room.
