Blessings to Never Let You Go (Book 2 of the Mercy Forever Series)

Chapter 12 - Welcome a New Jonas

~July 7, 2015 - Joe and Demi's house - their bedroom

Demi: *calls Dianna*

Dianna: Hi sweetheart, how's it going?

Demi: It's going good. I'm here at the house. I have a quick question.

Dianna: What is it?

Demi: How am I supposed to tell when it's almost time? I feel like it is, but nothing's happened yet.

Dianna: It just takes time, Demi. No matter how fast you want to get over it, you just have to wait. Where's Joe?

Demi: He's meeting with his dad right now.

Dianna: Alright. Have you felt any contractions lately?

Demi: No. But I thought I did earlier.

Dianna: Well, make sure you're prepared to go the hospital in case your water breaks.

Demi: I know, Mom. I just hope Joe can still make it when it's time.

Dianna: Why is that?

Demi: His meeting is on the farthest side of LA and I'm scared he might get stuck in traffic.

Dianna: Don't worry so much, Demi. I'm sure he'll make it on time.

Demi: Okay. Thanks, Mom.

Dianna: You're welcome. Remember to call us when it does happen. I want to meet my grandson.

Demi: Of course, Mom. I wouldn't ever want to leave you out this.

Dianna: Alright. Call me later. *hangs up*

Demi: *phone rings, caller ID: Joe* Hey babe.

Joe: Hey Demi, I have some news.

Demi: *irritated* What?

Joe: I might be late coming home tonight. My dad is making me do a publicity event and I have to work late.

Demi: Are you serious? Joe, what if I go into labor today? How are you going to get out of it?

Joe: I'm not sure, Demi. I'll try whatever I can if that does happen. Just call me. I have to go. Call you later. *hangs up*

Demi: Great. *calls Selena*

Selena: Hey Dem.

Demi: Girl, I have a problem.

Selena: Does it involve Joe?

Demi: Yes. Apparently he's working late and I have a big feeling I might into labor today.

Selena: Well, don't push it. If it happens, it's obviously going to happen. Did he tell you if he might get out of whatever he's doing?

Demi: He said he'll try. I swear, if he misses his son's birth, I'm going to slap him.

Selena: Dem, calm down. I'm sure he'll be there. He wouldn't want to miss his son's birth for anything.

Demi: I hope so.

Selena: I hope yours won't be as emotional as mine was. Remember?

Demi: That was so upsetting what Nick did.

Selena: I know. Please don't remind me.

Demi: I know Joe really wants to meet his son, but sometimes it's hard to believe he will commit to this relationship.

Selena: Have you been questioning it again?

Demi: Yea. I know I shouldn't, but it's been bothering me again and I'm not sure what to do anymore.
