Together.

Four.

'I read that breastfeeding fucks with your body... You've probably got nothing to be worried about.' Dallas says as she sits across from her little sister.

'Maybe not but there is still a very good chance that I'm pregnant and I can't deal with that. Willow is only six months old; I'm not ready for another baby.' Demi replies.

'Look, you don't even know if you're pregnant yet. Take the test, Demi. It's the only way to find out.' Dallas says handing her the box.

'What if it's positive?' Demi asks.

'Go take the goddamn test, Demi.' Marissa says pointing to the bathroom.

'All you have to do is pee on the-' Dallas begins and Demi laughs slightly.

'I've taken a pregnancy test before Dallas, more than once actually.' Demi replies. Biting her bottom lip she stands up with the test in her hands and makes her way to the bathroom.

'She's going to flip if this test is positive.' Dallas says and Marissa sighs.

'What's going on?' John asks as Nick sits with his phone in his hand.

'I've been trying to get hold of Demi all morning and most of last night. I'm really worried about her and I don't know what to do.' Nick replies glancing back down at his phone.

'I'm sure everything is fine, her phone has probably ran out of battery or something... Why don't you try her sister or Marissa?' John asks and Nick nods his head.

'Yeah. I think I'll try Dallas, they might be out or something.' Nick replies quietly.

____

'Well?' Marissa asks as Demi makes her way out of the bathroom.

'Need to wait... Who's Dal on the phone to?' Demi asks glancing at her sister.

'Your man... He's worried about you, apparently you've been avoiding his calls.' Marissa replies causing Demi to sigh. Tapping her sister's shoulder, she gestures for the phone before holding it to her ear.

'Nick?' She says and hears him let out a sigh of relief.

'I was so worried about you. Why haven't you been answering your phone?' He asks.

'I freaked out last night. I realised something and it kinda sent me into complete shut down mode... I wasn't avoiding you, I promise.' She replies.

'Okay, that didn't make me any less worried. What the hell is going on, Demi?' He asks and she feels tears fill her eyes.

'I-I...' She mumbles, tears beginning to stream down her cheeks as she glances at Willow in her jumperoo.

'Dems, talk to me baby... I can't help you if I don't know what's going on, can I?' He says.

'I think I'm pregnant.' She replies quietly.

'Is that it?' He asks.

'What do you mean is that it?' She says.

'I thought something awful had happened... We've spoke about having more kids and okay, this is sooner than either of us imagined but what's the worse that could happen?' He asks.

'I'm not ready for another baby, Nick. I'm just getting my career back on track, I'm just getting myself back on track.' She replies and he takes a deep breath.

'Okay. Have you taken a test?' He asks.

'Yeah... Waiting on the results.' She replies.

'Whatever that test says you need to stay calm; remember I'm always gonna be here and I love you.' He says causing her to smile slightly.

'I love you too.' She replies.

'How long for the results?' He asks and she glances at the clock.

'Should be ready now.' She replies quietly.

'Go check... I'll stay on the phone.' He says. She turns and smiles slightly at Marissa before making her way into the bathroom.

'She'll be alright if it's positive... Nick knows all the right things to say to keep her calm.' Marissa says and Dallas nods her head. They sit in silence for a few minutes just staring at the bathroom door until they hear Demi giggle.

'What did she mean when she said this wasn't the first time she'd taken a test?' Dallas asks and Marissa sighs.

'She had a scare with Wilmer, just before they split up actually. He freaked and told her he wasn't ready for kids and didn't know if he ever would be... The test was negative obviously but it really hurt her.' Marissa replies.

'I had no idea.' Dallas says and Marissa shakes her head.

'She didn't tell anyone but that's when she started realising that they both wanted different things in life.' Marissa replies.

'Oh wow.' Dallas says quietly.

'So you're glad Willow isn't going to be a big sister then...' Marissa says as Demi bounces the little girl on her knee.

'So glad. Don't get me wrong I want her to be in the future but not for a few years.' Demi replies smiling.

'What did Nick say?' Dallas asks.

'Not much. I mean he said that he wouldn't have minded if the test was positive but I'm pretty sure he was as relived as I am.' Demi replies lifting Willow above her head causing the little girl to giggle.

'She's so like you it's unbelievable.' Dallas says smiling as she watches them.

'Do you think so? All I see is Nick when I look at her.' Demi replies smiling.

'Well I mean she is very like her daddy, always has been but just her little personality; it's so you.' Dallas says smiling.

_____

'What's got you so happy?' John asks.

'Demi's not pregnant.' Nick replies.

'I didn't know that was a possibility but great?' John says and Nick laughs.

'Sorry... Demi thought she was pregnant and freaked out hence the reason she wasn't answering her phone but she took a test and she's not.' Nick explains.

'Ah I see... Well congrats on not having another kid.' John says patting Nick's shoulder.
