meeting at the right time

chapter 16

Norman's pov

We spend a couple of days in NY and then we left to atlanta. I couldnt wait for my girl and emily to meet my second family. I took eye with me this time and we just drove the truck there. We got our luggage to my house and i told her we would meet greg at the restaurant. She was nervous and i could tell. "Hey buddy whats up?" Demi smiled at him. "Hey you must be demi. Nice to meet you." She hugged him and then he looked at emily. "And who is this little princess?" "This is emily, my daughter." He waved at the girl and she was shy. "I hear congrats are in order." We nodded. "Wow another little reedus." She chuckled. "Two is enough." I stomped her. "Hey. I'm not that bad and ming isnt either." She laughed  "i'm just kidding lighten up. I would like it to be a girl tho." I could hear someone approach us. "Is this your lovely woman norm?" Andy stood beside us. "Yes this is her. Demi meet andy." She smiled. "Nice to meet you andrew." He smiled at her. "Norm's girl can call me andy and who is this lovely princess?" He looked down to emily. She waved to andy.

I took my girl to see the set and she was amazed how awesome everything looked. We didnt start shooting till tomorrow so we all had dinner at nic and normans and then we went home. Emily went to bed and demi was checking her phone. "What the fuck norman?" I frowned and walked over. She turned her phone and it was an article saying that diane was pregnant with my kid. What the hell was going on. "Babe she isnt. That is a lie. You are having my baby. I dont know what the fuck is going on there." What was diane upto? I mean yeah we fucked but demi was my girl and i wasnt gonna let anyone take her from me. I dialed diane's number. 'Hey norman what's up?' 'Cut the crap diane. What the fuck are you doing? You're not pregnant.' She chuckled. 'Ofcourse i'm not. Why do you say that?' 'Its all over the fucking tabloids again. Did you pump up your publicity again. Its not funny diane and you cant use me anymore. Demi and i have a family now and you're sturring shit up.' 'Norman,..' 'stop! make shit right or i will.' I hung up the phone. I was mad as hell. "Sweetie relax. Its okay. I know she likes the attention. I'm not going anywhere." I sighed. "I just dont want anyone to mess up what we have." She smiled. "I love you and i trust you. You dont have to worry about that." I kissed her. "I dont know what i would do without you. God i love you." I hugged her thightly.

The next few months passed and i had a great time with the twd family. They were as thight as they always say and it was nice to be a part of it. My attacks werent frequent but when i had one it was severe. I had to go back and i didnt want to but i couldnt deliver the baby in atlanta. I said my goodbyes to everyone and i cried my eyes out when i had to leave.  Norman went with me to be there for the baby. It was a painful labor and i was so happy that i didnt have to go through it alone. The doc laid the baby in my arms and i smiled. "Hi rosie marianne reedus. I'm your mom." Norman had tears in his eyes. "Nice work babygirl. She's beautiful. Just like you." He kissed my forehead. He took a picture and posted it on his instagram. 'Welcome to the family kiddo. Rosie marianne reedus. 😍.' he got comments right away to congrats us. Jeffrey and hilarie were one of the firsts. My friends came to see me at the hospital. Norman had to go home after a couple of days. I was sad to see him go but i understood this was a part of him. People accepted me and it was nice that i didnt have to be scared what his fans would do to me or my kids.

Today was rosie's second birthday. Norman was flying out to visit us. I had invited my friends and family. There was cake for everyone. It was a sunny day and we sat outside. I wasnt feeling well and i had to go inside for a moment. I leaned against my kitchen table. Recently my attacks came more frequently and they werent good. I felt myself drift away and before everything went black i called out to charlie.

I was getting ready to fly out to my girls. My rosie was turning two and i couldnt miss this. My phone buzzed and i noticed it was charlie. 'Hey buddy what's up?' 'Norman you need to get here now.' He sounded worried. 'What's wrong what happened?' 'Its demi. We're in the hospital. She collapsed and she's not doing well. The doc asked me to call you.' This wasnt good. 'I'm getting to the airport now.' 'Please hurry man.' I hung up and rushed to the airport. I needed an earlier flight. Luckally someone cancelled and i could take its place. I was scared and hoping my girl was okay.
