Together.

Six.

'Thank you everyone and goodnight!' Nick shouts grinning as he turns and begins to make his way off stage.

'I need to phone Demi.' He says handing his mic to John who shakes his head.

'You can't.' John replies.

'What? Why? I told you to make sure I had time to phone her.' Nick says.

'You can't phone me because I'm right here.' Demi says walking up behind him.

'Demi? Oh my god... I thought you were sick.' He says instantly wrapping his arms around her tightly.

'I lied.' She replies quietly.

'God I missed you.' He says as she cuddles into him.

'Where's Willow?' He asks.

'With Joe in your dressing room... She's sleeping and it would've been too noisy for her so he offered to watch her so I could come watch you... You were great up there.' She replies smiling up at him.

'Thank you... How much did you get to see?' He asks.

'Most of the second half... I think I got here just after you went back on stage but I seen you talking about me and Willow.' She replies smiling.

'I meant every word of it.' He says as he sways them slightly from side to side.

'Do you want to go see our daughter? She's missed you...' She replies.

'Yes, of course.' He says grinning.

'Look at you cutie!' Nick says grinning as he takes Willow from Joe. He instantly lifts the little girl above his head causing her to giggle.

'Oh I've missed you so much.' He mumbles as Demi leans against the doorframe unable to keep the smile off her face.

'Well I'm gonna go say hi to everyone and let you three have some time together.' Joe says placing his hand on Nick's shoulder and smiling.

'Thanks, Joe.' Demi replies quietly. She watches him leave before making her way over to Nick and Willow.

'You have no idea just how happy I am to see you.' She says causing him to smile. He lowers Willow and balances her on his hip before wrapping his free arm around Demi.

'If it's even half as happy as I am to see you then I've got a pretty good idea. How are you feeling?' He asks.

'Fine. I've not been ill, Nick. I just wanted to surprise you.' She replies.

'And surprise me you did...' He mumbles as she rests her head on his shoulder.

'You should get changed.' She says quietly.

'Why? I can just come back to the hotel like this.' He replies and she shakes her head.

'You've got the after party, Nick... You can't miss it.' She says.

'But I want to spend time with you two.' He replies causing her to smile.

'Willow and I will be in your hotel room when you get back... Go have fun with your friends, Nick.' She says.

'Demi, I-' He begins and she shakes her head.

'Have fun... I've got a car waiting outside to take me to your hotel. We'll be waiting.' She says leaning up and kissing his cheek.

'Oh and I will sing with you, Nick.' She adds causing him to grin at her.

'Really?' He asks.

'Mmhmmm... I've missed being on stage with your handsome face.' She replies smiling.

_____

'Singer Demi Lovato was pictured entering the Prudential Centre where her boyfriend Nick Jonas was performing with their daughter clutched to her chest. Lovato was dressed casually in some black leggings with a baggy cream sweater while the six month old appeared to be wearing a mint sleepsuit.

Demi turns the tv off and glances down at the little girl curled up in her arms.

'I know this is going to seem crazy as you grow up, Willow... All these people sticking cameras into your face can't be easy for little people but I promise daddy and I will do everything to protect you.' She says quietly as she runs her finger down the little girl's cheek. For the most part they've kept Willow off social media; they'll occasionally post a picture on Instagram and a few times she's featured on their snapchats but they made a conscious decision to shield her from the public eye.

'What's that cheeky face for, little duck?' Demi asks smiling down as Willow gurgles up at her.

'Hey, I'm back...' Nick says quietly as he makes his way back into the hotel room; his jacket is slung over his shoulder and he's carrying a brown paper bag.

'Hey... Did you have fun?' Demi asks smiling.

'Yeah, it was good. I brought you pancakes... Passed a little shop on the way back and thought you might be hungry.' He replies placing the bag on the bedside table as he drapes his jacket over the chair.

'Mmm... I am hungry, thank you.' She says smiling as he leans down to kiss her.

'I've missed this.' Demi says curling into Nick's side as Willow sleeps peacefully on his chest.

'Me too... I felt so guilty when you were freaking out about possibly being pregnant and I wasn't there. All I wanted to do was wrap my arms around you and hold you tight.' He replies causing her to smile.

'You've got nothing to feel guilty about; I shouldn't have freaked out before I took a test and hey, maybe it wouldn't have been such a bad thing if that test was positive.' She says shrugging her shoulders.

'What do you mean?' He asks.

'I don't know. I was just thinking about it and maybe I freaked out for nothing. Yeah, it would've been a lot earlier than either of us planned but what would I have done? I'd never have got rid of our baby... Willow was unexpected and we've done alright with her, haven't we?' She says.

'We have.' He replies kissing the top of her head.

'Don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean I want another one anytime soon.' She says.

'Of course not.' He replies smiling.
