Demi Lovato's Maternal Instints

Stop The World

Elizabeth's POV

Demi has been acting so weird lately. She was always smilling to herself, and being really happy... happier than ussual. I didn't mind, It's really funny seeing act that way. I was happy for her. She told me that we were going to meet a special friend of hers today for lunch. She dressed me up in a peach colored dress with white shoes. She was wearing a dark blue T-shirt and some tight jeans with boots.

She also had a cap that said"L.A. Lovers" in the front. We went to our favorite diner for lunch. We got to the back of the restaurant where we sat with a funny lady. She said"Hey Demi, how's it going?" while giving her a hug.

Demi's POV

"Hey Demi, how's it going?" I awnsered with a smile"Great....perfect" Ellen kneeled down to Eli and said"Hi, I'm Ellen.... what's your name, squirt?" Eli shook Ellen's hand and said"Elizabeth" shilly. I laughed at her cuteness. Ellen asked"Demi are you sure she's not your biological daughter? She looks exactly like you" I laughed"No... I can assure you she is my adopted daughter.... but I love her like my own." I loooed down at Elizabeth and she smiled at me.

During lunch Ellen told us how the show was going to roll, and we explained to Elizabeth everything. After lunch we said goodbye to Ellen and drove home. I asked Eli"Hey babe? Do you wanns go visit Selena?" She cheered"Yes m-mommy!""Great" I replied ad we drove over to Selena's aparment. I knocked on the door carrying Elli. Selena answered it and shouted"Dems! Ellie! Come in" We walked in and I placed Eli on the floor.

Eli ran to Selena and Sel carried her, giving Eli a hug. I stood there watching the adorable moment. I even snaped a picture and saved it, capturing the moment. Selena took me and Eli to the kitchen and offered us fresh baked cookies. Eli sat eaten her cookies and milk in the dinning table while me and Sel sat over at the counter. "So... I hear that Demi has a boyfriend" Sel said in a cheerfull tone. I blushed just thinking about Joseph. "Maybe..... Yes!" I replied. Selena obviously got curious and asked"When is your next date?""I don't know... I, just need to figure things out, I can't leave Eli like that" I said looking back at Elizabeth. "I can babysit anytime" Sel said ecxited. "No Sel.. I can't let you babysit everytime we wanna go out" I replied worried. "Oh come on Dems, Elizabeth is no trouble, plus I am her aunt... ofcourse I can, I can watch her anytime... now that tour is over I have plenty of time." Sel replied cheerfully. I gave her a hug and said"Thanks... you're the best" "I know..."Sel giggled. After we talked a while it was time for me to go.

Sel agreed to watch Elizabeth for the night. I got home and took a quick shower. Once I got out I put on a black and blue tank top and some hing waisted shorts with high black boots studded with spikes in the front and back. As I finish getting ready, Joe knocked. I ran downstairs and answered it. "Hey beautiful" he smiled walking in. "Hey handsome... so what are we gonna do tonight?" I asked as I pecked his lips. "Uhm... well... I ready didn't plan for tonight... How about if you pick?" He said as he grabbed my waist and pulled me close. I smiled"Ok.... can we go grab some dinner? Then maybe we can come back here and hang?" "Sure... I know a great pizza place, if you're into it?" He answered as he grabbed my hand and we walked out the door. "Yeah I'm in" We got in the car and drove to our location. When we got there my eyes watered.

This was the pizza parlor where we had kissed for the first time back when we were just a couple of teens... practicly kids or at least I acted like one.

"Joe you are so sweet" I said as he led me to a booth. I realized it was our old booth, the one we carved our initials to in the wooddened table. "Aww... Joe" I said almost in tears. He leaned over and pecked my lips then said "I knew you'd love it". My smile fadded a little as I saw a small mark at the edge of the table.

I made that mark five years ago, when I was sixteen. I went on a date with Joe after a photoshoot he had. I wasn't on my best mood that day for eating pizza, but I went with him anyways. When Joe excused himself to use the restroom, I felt an urge. I knew I couldn't do it on a date with Joe, so while no one was around I grabbed my fork. I started bending it a bit, on the edge of the table, then I pressed it on my skin slightly. I left the mark on my arm.... and on the edged of the table.

I was brought out of my thoughts when Joe asked "Dems... you ok?" I smiled and nodded in response, brushing off the thoughts. After we finished dinner Joe ordered ice cream for dessert. While he fed me a spoonfull, I giggled uncontrolably. He was just so adorable. We finished feeding eachother ice cream so we headed to my house for a while.

Once we got there we sat on the couch next to eachother, cuddling. I rested my head in the crook of his neck while he held my hands. I sat up straight facing him looking into his big brown eyes. He stared into mine, slowly leaning in, he kissed my lips. Our lips moved in perfect harmony as I placed my arms around the back of his neck, and he pulled me by the waist. Without breaking the kiss I tugged on his hair.

Our kiss turned into a heated make out, which I didn't mind at all. We broke apart to catch our breaths only to crash our lips back together. She licked my bottom lips, his tongue asking for entrance, which I happily granted. I pulled away getting up from the couch, saying "I'm sorry Joe..." I sat back down and said"Look.... I am completly in love with you.... but, I am sort of going on tour after tomorow's interview with Ellen..." I felt ashamed I didn't tell him sooner.

Joe's POV

I was surprised about our make out session. But not as surprised as this. I can't believe she's leaving again. "Wait so when were you planning on telling me that?" I said trying to sound calm. "I'm sorry Joe... I was just so cought up on what was happening between you and me... I forgot" Demi replied saddened. "You forgot?... So what do I do now? I can't bare to think of being without you Dems... I-I love you" I said shocked yet still angry.

Demi's POV

"I-I love you"... I was suprised to hear him say those words. I haven't heard those words from a guy in a long time. I felt like crying, how could I have been so stupid to leave him? "I'm sorry" I whipered looking down. "So am I" he said grabbing his jacket and walking past me. I heard the door slam behind me. I felt tears rum down my cheeks. I grabbed my keys and purse and walked out of the house into the car to get Eli.
