Without You

six.

'Hey, you...' Dallas says as Demi rolls onto her back and blinks a few times.

'Hi.' Demi replies quietly.

'I'd ask how you're doing but I feel like that's a pretty stupid question.' Dallas says.

'I don't want to live without him, Dallas. I don't know how to live without him.' Demi admits.

'It'll be hard but you'll get through this, Dems. You need to focus on this little one in here. He or she needs to be your priority now.' Dallas says.

'I know... I told him earlier.' Demi replies and Dallas smiles.

'Maddie told me.' Dallas says.

'I didn't meant to tell him like that I was just so pissed off with him that he's using the excuse that this is for me when this isn't what I want.' Demi replies.

'Well at least he knows now.' Dallas says and Demi nods her head.

'He's been phoning.' Demi replies glancing down at her phone which reads twelve missed calls and four unread texts.

'He's on the phone to dad.' Dallas says causing Demi to instantly sit up. She climbs out of bed and makes her way downstairs.

'You have to understand that you've hurt her, Wilmer. Regardless of whether or not you think you're doing what's best for her this isn't what she wants so she's hurt.' Eddie says holding the phone to his ear. Moving closer to him Demi gestures for the phone and takes a deep breath.

'Wilmer?' She says holding the phone to her ear.

'Demi...' He replies softly.

'I wasn't ignoring your calls and texts; I was sleeping.'

'So you're pregnant.'

'I didn't mean to tell you like that.'

'How far along are you? Do you know yet?'

'Just under nine weeks. I had an emergency scan today because I was bleeding quite heavily.'

'Is everything okay?'

'They believe I was pregnant with twins and miscarried one; beside the sac containing the baby was an empty sac so they think that was why I'm bleeding.'

'I'm sorry... Are you okay?'

'Don't quite know if that's how I'd describe how I'm feeling right now.'

'I really don't want to hurt you, Demi.'

'I can't do this right now, Wilmer. It's already been a stressful day and I don't want to argue anymore. I will keep you updated with everything that's going on with the baby but I stand by what I said earlier; I'm not going to announce something that I never wanted so you'll need to do that on your own.'

'We don't have to announce anything just yet. If you need anything all you have to do is call.'

Shaking her head she hands the phone back to Eddie and makes her way out to the living room where Dianna is sitting on the sofa.

'Who's got the dogs, Demi?' Dianna asks.

'Nick's looking after them.' Demi replies sitting down beside her. Sighing Dianna wraps her arm around Demi and pulls her closer to her.

'This is a pretty awful situation, isn't it?' Dianna says and Demi nods her head.

'Not at all how I imagined having my first baby.' She replies quietly.

'So what's your plans?' Dallas asks sitting beside Demi who shrugs her shoulders.

'I don't know. Nick said he'll look after the dogs for as long as I need him to so I might stay here for a few weeks.' Demi replies glancing into the kitchen where Eddie and Dianna are making dinner.

'Have you not got any work on?' Dallas asks and Demi shakes her head.

'Nope; I was just planning on working in the studio but I don't have to do that.' Demi replies.

'I can't believe you're having a baby.' Dallas says smiling as Demi's hand rests on her stomach.

'I can't quite believe it either.' Demi admits as her phone vibrates.

From Nick :
You had a scan? How is everything?

To Nick :
I was bleeding so it was an emergency scan but everything looks okay. I think I'm going to stay here for a couple of weeks xx

From Nick :
You take as long as you need, Dems. I can take care of things at the label so don't you even worry about that, okay? Just focus on yourself and your baby x

'Do you think Wilmer will want to be involved in the baby's life?' Dallas asks and Demi nods her head.

'Yeah. He's not a bad person, Dallas. He wouldn't abandon his baby.' Demi replies and Dallas smiles slightly.

'Maybe you two will be able to work things out?' Dallas suggests and Demi shakes her head.

'I don't want him to be with me just because of the baby.' Demi replies.

'I do think he loves you, Demi. I don't think he'd be with you just for the sake of the baby.' Dallas says and Demi shakes her head.

'I don't doubt for a minute that he loves me; he just doesn't love me enough to fight for us.' Demi replies.

So I only intended for this story to be around 10 chapters long, I have however got the next 5 chapters written and it doesn't appear to be ending anytime soon so this may become a full story.
