Tour life is never easy but it most definitely isn't easy when you've left your girlfriend and daughter at home. [This is a sequel to Stop The World so you'll probably want to read that first]
'Is she okay?' Nick asks as Willow screams while Demi paces around the room with her.
'She's teething again.' Demi replies repeating pressing kisses against the little girl's head in an attempt to calm her down.
'Did you bring any of that gel stuff we used last time?' He asks and she shakes her head.
'I forgot to buy some... We can't leave her with Joe like this, it's not fair on him or her.' She replies.
'Okay. I'll pop out and get some gel, I'll let Joe know that we're not going out and I'll bring us in pizza.' He says.
'I'm sorry we can't go out.' She replies quietly.
'Don't... Willow comes first and she clearly needs her mommy tonight so we'll watch a movie.' He says and she smiles slightly.
'Thank you.' She replies tilting her head back as Willow continues to scream.
'I'll be back soon.' He says kissing the top of her head. He leaves the hotel room and she pats Willow's back.
'Come on, baby girl... Settle down so mommy can find Sophie for you.' She says using her free hand to rummage through the diaper bag in an attempt to find the teething toy.

'They didn't have the one we usually get but I've got this one... Says it's from six months so she's old enough.' Nick says making his way into the hotel room carrying a Target bag.
'Thanks.' Demi replies gently rocking the stroller with her foot. Willow's lying in the stroller and her screams have settled down to small whimpers.
'How did you manage that?' He asks gesturing to the stroller.
'I gave her Sophie and that sort of pacified her for a while.' She replies causing him to smile. He pulls the teething gel out of the bag and makes his way over to the stroller to quickly apply it to Willow's gums causing the little girl to fuss.
'If you start her off again you're dealing with her.' She says.
'It's fine... You're fine, aren't you sweetheart?' He replies gently rocking the stroller. The little girl stares up at him before babbling as the gel combined with the teething toy seems to soothe her.
'So I ordered pizza and I bought the entire X-Men collection...' Nick says holding up the target bag as he makes his way over to Demi.
'You're pretty amazing.' She replies smiling up at him.
'So shall we start the movies while we wait for the pizza?' He asks and she nods her head.
'Yeah... Just pop the stroller up beside the bed so we can keep an eye on her.' She replies smiling as she slides up the bed to rest against the headboard.
'Okay.' He says.

'She's finally asleep...' Demi whispers as she creeps away from the travel crib and leans on the back of the sofa.
'Let's take a picture.' He says pulling his phone out. She smiles as he holds it out in front of her and quickly takes a picture of them before uploading it to Instagram.
When you have to cancel date night because the baby's teething... Love this one ❤️

'We need to start thinking about Christmas soon.' Nick says as Demi sits down beside him and curls into his side.
'What about it?' She asks.
'Well are we going to your parents or my parents?' He asks and she sighs.
'I was hoping we wouldn't do either... It's Willow's first Christmas and I'd like to spend that in our own home.' She replies causing him to nod his head.
'Okay. We can do that, I just thought you'd want to go see your family. Is Dallas going home?' He asks and she shakes her head.
'She'll be too pregnant she says... I don't know though. She might go back for a few days.' She replies.
'Well we can go visit our families either before or after Christmas so we can see them and they can see Willow but we can have Christmas at our place.' He says causing her to smile.
'You're bloody amazing, Jonas.' She replies kicking her leg over so she's straddling him before pressing kisses against his jaw line.
'Don't start something you can't finish, Lovato...' He moans causing her to smiles.
'Oh I intend to finish what I started... I need a shower.' She says winking at him.

'I don't think I'll make it to the bed...' Demi mumbles as she leans heavily on Nick's shoulders.
'Jump...' He says placing his hands on her hip and effortlessly lifting her off her feet. Smiling she wraps her legs around his waist and buries her head in his shoulder.
'That was...' He begins as he drops her onto the bed.
'Very much needed.' She replies causing him to smile.
'Mmhmmm... And little miss stayed fast asleep throughout the entire thing.' He says and she laughs.
'I'm exhausted.' She almost whispers.
'Go to sleep then.' He says and she pats the space beside her.
'Come cuddle.' She replies. He climbs onto the bed beside her and instantly wraps his arms around her.
'I love you.' He says kissing the top of her head.
