Everything Happens for a Reason- A Jemi Love Story

Episode 8

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joe hangs up the phone climbing off the bed. He makes his way to the door and through the hall shouting Scarlett's name. She soon appears at the bottom of the stairs wondering what's going on with him. He goes down the stairs 2 steps at a time Scarlett moving  so he can reach the bottom. He kisses her passionately catching her off guard briefly before kissing back moving her hands up to his cheeks not wanting him to pull away.

"Come with me." He mumbles against her lips before bringing her closer to him but pulling his head back so they can talk.

"What do you mean?" She questions.

"I called Demi, she said that there is room for you and Sadie to come on the tour. I really want this job, please?" He begs and she can't help but smile nodding her head.

"I'd love to come and see the country." She says and Joe smiles wide picking her up spinning her around. She bursts into fits of giggles laughing harder as he puts her back down on the ground but soon muffled by a kiss. She carries on laughing even though her lips are pressed against his making Joe groan.

"I'm trying to kiss my beautiful fiancé." He says and she laughs harder, he just shakes his laugh loving hearing the sound of her laugh. Now when he looks back he's kind of glad he wasn't there when she was giving birth, he doesn't know if he could sit there and see the girl he loves being in so much pain but at the same time he won't be able to witness that again, the moment has gone. Sure he'll be able to hopefully see any future children be born but that's not Sadie, his first child and first daughter. They finish having their moment before Joe wonders through into the living room where he hears whimpering, he looks down in the crib seeing Sadie still asleep but looking as if she's having a nightmare. Joe leans down taking her up in his arms so she knows that her mom or dad are close by before sitting down on the couch. The whimpers soon die down and Joe smiles leaning down kissing her head. He can't wait for her to grow older, be able to take her to her first ballet class and kick any guys asses if they ever hurt her. He's already decided she's not getting married until she's at least thirty if not a little bit older but he can see her protesting when she's a grumpy teenager. He's always seen himself with a house full of kids even before he met Scarlett. He's looking forward to Monday but not looking forward to the early mornings, with being a football player he never really had to get up for work early but that dream is over, he's just happy he got to live it even if it is for a couple of years rather than his whole career like he wished. Joe gets knocked out of his thoughts when he hears his daughter crying in his arms, before he could do anything else Scarlett comes rushing in.

"She'll need feeding." She states taking her from him.

"I wish I could help more." He pouts sighing, the only thing he can really do is change her diaper and wake up when Scarlet does in the night.

"I know Joey but it's best for her." She says allowing her daughter to start feeding of her.

"How do you know how much she is drinking though?" Joe questions already knowing the answer.

"We don't so maybe it would be a good idea to buy some formula and switch her between them." She states and Joe nods.

"We'll buy some when we go shopping," He states. "I can't believe I have to wait a whole 52 days until I can make love to you again." He states again and she smiles knowing it's not just sex to him, she knows how much he loves him and luckily she loves him just the same amount.

"You'll live, I have to wait too." She says and he groans.

"It's torture!" He exclaims and she can't help but laugh. "I love you." He tells her.

"I love you too," She replies pecking his lips moving Sadie once she pulls away from her. She hands her to Joe again. "I'm gonna start dinner." She says kissing both their head before making her way into the kitchen.

"Your momma is flawless." Joe whispers watching as Sadie slowly drifts off happy with her meal.
