'No, no, no...' Demi mumbles as she sits on the edge of the toilet, tears streaming down her cheeks at the sight of blood staining her underwear. Grabbing her phone she instantly dials her husband's number and holds the phone to her ear. It rings for what feels like forever before going to his answer machine causing her to sigh.
'Okay; don't panic, it might be nothing.' She says softly to herself as she grabs a pad before making her way to the bedroom to get some clean underwear. She gets changed and drives herself to the hospital because Wilmer's not answering his phone and he's not even in the country but no one else knows she's pregnant so she has no choice. They had a scan at nine weeks where everything looked absolutely perfect.
Rolling onto her side Demi sighs as she brushes her thumb against her stomach; she knows the miscarriage was the start of all their problems. The past three and a half years haven't been a complete disaster. She's always known that Wilmer feels an incredible amount of guilt that he wasn't in the country when she lost their baby and she knows deep down there is a part of her that will always resent the fact that she had to go through it on her own even if it wasn't Wilmer's fault but she would never have let that ruin what they had.
'No matter what happens, regardless of whether you stay with momma during the week and daddy at the weekend you need to know you are so loved, little one. Nothing will ever change how much we both love you.' Demi says resting her hands against her stomach.
'Right, you... Get dressed we're going out.' Kelsey says making her way into the bedroom.
'What? No, I'm comfy here, thanks.' Demi replies shaking her head.
'It wasn't a question. I know yesterday was tough but I'm not letting you mope about in bed all day.' Kelsey says.
'I'm not moping.' Demi replies and Kelsey shrugs her shoulders.
'I don't care if we go for a walk or we go shopping; you just need to get out the house for a bit.' Kelsey says and Demi sighs.
'Fine; let's go shopping. I suppose I could use a few new bits for Bora Bora.' Demi replies climbing out of bed.

'This is cute!' Kelsey says gesturing to a playmat and causing Demi to smile.

'It is, isn't it?' Demi replies running her hand down the mat.
'Have you done any shopping for the little one?' Kelsey asks and Demi shakes her head.
'Nope; I don't want people to put two and two together and I didn't want to jinx anything.' Demi replies.
'Why don't you get something today? You're over twelve weeks now.' Kelsey says and Demi sighs.
'I just don't want people to find out just yet.' Demi admits and Kelsey shrugs the shoulders.
'If you really like it then I'll take it to the checkout and they'll assume it's mine?' Kelsey replies causing Demi to smile.
'That would be good.' Demi says.
'So what's going to happen? Will Wilmer be in the room when you give birth?' Kelsey asks.
'If he wants to be. I think I want a home birth.' Demi replies.
'Really? Why?' Kelsey asks and Demi shrugs her shoulders.
'I just feel like I'd be more comfortable in my own home and I'd be able to get into my own bed afterwards.' Demi replies causing the blonde to smile.
'Have you told Wilmer this?' Kelsey asks.
'I've not really told Wilmer anything. I know we really need to sit down and talk I just- It hurts, Kelsey. Seeing him yesterday and sitting in that car was absolutely awful.' Demi admits and Kelsey sighs.
'Do you think it would easier if someone else was there?' Kelsey asks and Demi shrugs her shoulders.
'I don't know.' Demi replies.

'How's she doing?' Wilmer asks as he sits across from Joe.
'Honestly? She spends more time with Nick than me but from what I've heard she is struggling. That day we went over to her house was awful, Wilmer. She had completely trashed the bedroom; there was glass everywhere and Nick had to clean it up.' Joe replies causing Wilmer to sigh.
'Did she?' He asks and Joe shakes his head.
'No... I think if it wasn't for the baby she might have; I'm not saying this to make you feel bad Wilmer, you've got to do what you've got to do but this has destroyed her. If she didn't have the baby I don't know how she'd make it back from this; she's living for that baby right now.' Joe replies.
'I know everyone thinks I'm an awful person for this but I genuinely thought I was doing why was best for her. People just don't understand how hard it's been.' Wilmer admits.
'I think because you two have been so private for everyone else this seems to have come a bit out of the blue, you know? We all thought you were happy and then suddenly divorce.' Joe says and Wilmer nods his head.
'I get that but it wasn't like I woke up one morning and decided to go see my lawyer; this was the hardest decision of my life.' Wilmer replies.
'I don't doubt that for a second, Wilmer.' Joe says quietly.
