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]
'What do you mean cramping?' Marissa asks as Demi makes her way over to the stroller and places Willow in it.
'Just sore and crampy.' Demi replies.
'You need to go to the hospital and get checked out.' Marissa says and Demi shakes her head.
'I can't. I told Nick I'd be here to watch the show.' Demi replies.
'Nick won't care. You and that little baby's health comes first to him.' Marissa says.
'Marissa, I-' Demi begins and Marissa shakes her head.
'No. You're going to the hospital and you're going now.' Marissa replies.
'Why are you going to the hospital?' A voice asks and they turn around coming face to face with Nick and Joe.
'Demi's cramping.' Marissa replies.
'She's what?' Joe asks.
'It's nothing. I'm just having slight pains.' Demi replies shrugging her shoulders.
'I'll come with you.' Nick says and Demi shakes her head.
'You're doing your show. I'll be fine and the baby will be fine.' Demi replies.
'Baby? What the fuck? Can someone fill me in?' Joe asks and Nick sighs.
'Demi's pregnant, again. We only found out so we weren't telling anyone.' Nick replies instantly moving towards Demi who bites her bottom lip.
'I'm okay... You still need to perform, Nick. You can't let the fans down.' She says.
'Who's going to go with you?' He asks.
'We'll just have to take Willow to the hospital with us so Marissa can come.' She replies.
'I'll keep Willow. You and Marissa go to the hospital and I'll keep Willow here.' Joe says glancing at the stroller.
'Are you sure? I thought you wanted to watch the show?' Demi says and Joe shakes his head.
'I'd much rather help you both out. You need to get yourself checked out.' He replies and she smiles slightly.
'Thank you, Joe.' She says. Leaning down Nick presses his lips against her head and sighs.
'Text as soon as you know anything and if... If it's bad news I'll come straight to the hospital, okay?' He says and she nods her head.
'Okay. I love you.' She whispers.
'I love you too.' He replies.

'You okay?' Marissa asks and Demi sighs.
'I'm terrified.' Demi admits.
'Everything is gonna be just fine.' Marissa says smiling as the nurse enters the room.
'Hello, Miss Lovato... Do you know how far along you are?' The nurse asks and Demi shakes her head.
'I literally just found out.' Demi replies as someone else enters the room pulling a machine behind her.
'Okay. Well we're going to do a sonogram just to check on baby.' The nurse says smiling slightly. Demi nods her head and rolls her top up to reveal her stomach. Reaching to the side of her Demi grabs onto Marissa's hand and bites her bottom lip as the nurse squirts some gel onto her stomach.
'Okay... Let's have a look.' The nurse says as Demi turns to look at Marissa. The nurse places the probe on Demi's stomach and slowly begins to move it around. Suddenly a soft thudding sound fills the room causing Demi to gasp.
'Is that?' She asks and the nurse nods her head.
'That's your baby's heartbeat. From what I can see everything looks fine. I'd say you're around 11 weeks.' The nurse replies smiling.
'Oh my god...' Demi mumbles glancing up at the screen.
'I told you everything would be okay.' Marissa replies.

'Have you heard from Demi?' Nick asks as he rushes into the dressing room. He's supposed to be doing a quick wardrobe change but ever since he got on stage he's not been able to concentrate.
'No, but you've got a text from her.' Joe replies passing Nick his phone. He opens his text and smiles as he begins to read it.
From Demi : Hi, daddy! Everything's absolutely fine, on our way back now. See you soon ❤ x

'Good news then?' Joe asks as he watches Nick smile down at his phone.
'Meet your new niece or nephew.' Nick replies holding his phone out.
'Wow... Congratulations.' Joe says smiling up at his brother.
'Thanks. They're on their way here.' Nick replies.
'I'm so happy for you both. What does this mean for the wedding?' Joe asks.
'Demi wants to get married before the next one comes so we need to plan a wedding in like less than six months.' Nick replies.

'She is whatever she wants to be, she is a little of everything, mixed up, so tough in a beautiful way. She's got the world at her fingertips, she makes beauty look effortless and I want everything she is...'
Nick smiles as the music fades out and he glances at Demi who's standing by the side of the stage; she arrived twenty minutes or so ago and has been watching the show ever since.
'Once again I'd like to dedicate that song to my amazing fiancée... This tour hasn't been easy; I love performing for you guys and being on the roads gives me such a buzz but I can't even describe how much I miss my girls when I'm not at home.' He says glancing back out at the crowd.
'Dems, you have brought me so much joy and I don't know what I would do without you. You've made this tour so much easier with your constant updates and the phonecalls. Thank you for everything... I love you.' He adds causing her to smile.
