Without You

'You are a bad influence on me, Mr Valderrama...' Demi says adjusting her dress as she watches Wilmer lean against the wall.

'I'm a bad influence? I think you'll find you're the one who practically dragged me into the bathroom.' He replies causing her to laugh.

'Come here.' She says grabbing his hand and pulling him closer to her. She straightens out his tie before pressing her lips against his.

'I love you.' She adds as he rests his hands on her hips.

'I love you too, both of you.' He replies smiling as his thumb brushes against her stomach.

'When do you want to tell people?' She asks as his lips softly brush against her forehead.

'Whenever you want to, nena... I'm quite happy to keep this as our little secret for now if that's what you want.' He replies and she nods her head.

'I like having it as our little secret.' She says smiling. Wrapping her arms around him she rests her head against his chest as he tightens his arms around her.

'Thirty weeks and we'll have our little ones in our arms; we'll be a family.' He whispers smiling.

Tears stream down Wilmer's cheeks as he stares down at the sonogram in his hand; the miscarriage absolutely destroyed them. They'd discovered she was pregnant shortly after returning from their honeymoon and to say they were excited would be an understatement. They hadn't told anyone they were expecting and that was the one thing Wilmer knew Demi regretted; she needed someone to be there for her when she miscarried, someone who wasn't him. The miscarriage broke her in a way that he could never repair. His finger brushes across the sonogram and sighs; they only made it to 11 weeks last time so to have made it to twelve weeks this time is a big relief.

'You look like you're in a world of your own.' Jennifer says making her way over to Wilmer.

'Uh I-It's been a rough few weeks.' He replies as she sits down beside him.

'Do you want to talk about it?' She asks.

'I don't know what to do about the divorce... I thought I was doing the right thing but I just don't know anymore.' He replies.

'Do you love her?' She asks and he nods his head.

'More than anything.' He replies.

'Do you love her enough to fight for her?' She asks.

'I always have done.' He replies.

'Then fight for her, Wilmer. Divorce should be a last resort and from what I've seen you two are far from the position where your relationship isn't fixable. If there's even the slightest chance that you two could work this out then don't let her go.' She says.

'If I say I don't want a divorce now she's going to think it's because of the baby.' He replies.

'Baby?' She asks and he nods his head.

'We had our twelve week scan yesterday. I've really hurt her; she literally couldn't bare to even look at me half the time.' He admits causing her to sigh.

'It won't be easy Wilmer but you need to prove to her that you want to be with her because you love her and not just because she's pregnant; prove that you want her.' She says.

Just a short chapter because I wanted to give a bit of an insight into how Wilmer is dealing with everything and a bit of a look at their past; I hope you don't mind the lack of Demi in this chapter but she will be in the next one.
