'You okay, baby?' Joe asks as he makes his way into the living room.

'I'm fine. My back's killing me though.' Demi replies moving into a sitting position on the sofa.

'Want me to rub it and see if that helps?' He asks and she shakes her head.

'No, I'm okay... Could you make me a hot chocolate though?' She asks.

'Of course.' He replies. He leaves the room and she grabs her phone quickly taking a picture of her stomach and uploading it to Instagram.

Where are you, little one? Mommy and daddy are so ready to meet you! #pinkorblue #fourdaysoverdue

'Hot chocolate for my lady.' Joe says as he makes his way out of the kitchen carrying a mug.

'Thank you. Come cuddle?' She asks and he nods his head. Sitting down beside her he smiles as she curls into his side.

'I was hoping we'd have a baby by now.' She admits and he nods his head.

'I know but hopefully he or she will come soon.' He says.

'What do you think it is?' She asks as his hand brushes against her bare stomach.

'Boy, definitely a little boy.' He replies smiling.

'You think? I'm really not sure. Dallas is convinced it's a girl but it would be nice to have a little boy, wouldn't it?' She asks.

'It would. My parents would be over the moon, their first grandson.' He replies and she nods her head.

'I can't wait to go shopping for pink or blue.' She admits smiling as she rests her head against his chest.

12:25am.

'You okay?' Joe asks running his hand across Demi's lower back as she leans against the kitchen counter.

'Mm... I don't want to jinx it but I think that was another contraction.' She replies glancing back at him.

'Did it hurt?' He asks and she shakes her head.

'Not really. It was just more uncomfortable and strange.' She replies leaning back as he wraps his arms around her waist.

'What do you want to do? We can phone the hospital or your parents?' He asks and she shakes her head.

'No. We don't phone anyone yet. Let's go out for a bit? I read online that walking can speed things up so let's go to BuyBuyBaby and see if there is any last minute things we need to buy?' She suggests glancing up at him.
