Without You

twenty-seven.

Bit of a time jump in this chapter; it's only a few weeks and nothing major has happened so I hope you don't mind. It's also a pretty short chapter but I'm hoping to get another chapter up tomorrow and the gender of the baby may or may not be revealed in it.

'What on earth are you doing?' Wilmer asks making his way into the kitchen.

'Just sorting through the baby's bits.' Demi replies glancing up at him as she folds a little white onesie.

'Come back to bed, nena... It's 5am.' He says and she shakes her head.

'I'm not tired plus we have so much to do before the baby gets here.' She replies as he sits down beside her.

'We still have ten weeks, Dems. We'll get everything sorted by the time you give birth.' He says.

'Not if you keep disappearing off to New York.' She mumbles.

'What?' He asks.

'Nothing.' She replies grabbing another onesie and beginning to fold it.

'Remember what Anna said? We have to talk about things or this will never work out.' He says causing her to sigh.

'You promised me you'd spend more time at home but I feel like I've seen you less these past few weeks than ever before.' She admits.

'I'm sorry. I know I've been working a lot but I just wanted to get as much done as I could so I can take more time off to be with you and the baby. I've finished filming everything that needed filmed so I'm home with you from now on.' He says.

'Y-You're home?' She asks, tears filling her eyes as her hand rests on her stomach.

'Yes. I'm home and I'll be here until well after you've had our little one, okay?' He replies moving to stand beside her.

'Thank you...' She says quietly.

'Come back to bed?' He asks and she shakes her head.

'I'm really not tired. I went to bed pretty early last night... You can go back to bed though.' She replies causing him to sigh.

'I'll stay up.' He says sitting on the chair next to her. She quickly folds a few more onesies before glancing over at Wilmer who looks absolutely exhausted.

'Let's go to bed.' She suggests standing up.

'I thought you weren't tired.' He says.

'I could do with a lie down.' She replies putting her hand out to him. Taking hold of her hand he follows her upstairs and they both get into bed.

'You feeling okay?' Wilmer asks as Demi moves so her back is against his chest.

'Mmhmmm... Baby's kicking like crazy this morning.' She replies grabbing his hand and pressing it against her stomach.

'That never fails to amaze me.' He says softly.

'We're going out for lunch with Kelsey.' Demi says as she glances over at Wilmer; it's now a little after 10am and she managed to get back to sleep earlier.

'Are we?' Wilmer asks and she nods her head.

'You don't have anything else on, do you?' She asks.

'Nope.' He replies causing her to smile.

'Good. I don't know where we're going; Kelsey's going to pick us up at half one.' She says.

'Oh okay. Why don't we finish sorting through those baby clothes you started this morning? We could maybe start packing the emergency hospital bag as well?' He suggests and she nods her head.

'Yeah, okay.' She says smiling. She settles down beside him and smiles as he grabs a little outfit and begins to fold it.
