Forbidden | A Jemi Love Story

Nineteen

It was about a week later that Demi had an appointment at the hospital able to see how the baby was doing and whether he or she was progressing well. She was only about five weeks along but this was a check to ensure the new parents that everything was running smoothly up to now before the twelve week scan. Demi wandered downstairs with Joe and Nick that morning a little nervous about it all and she could see Joe was too even though he wouldn't admit it. They entered the kitchen seeing Denise had laid out some food for them and they soon joined her eating with her.

"Do you want me to come to the appointment sweetie?" Denise inquired but she should her head gently.

"I'm fine thank you, Nick is going to be there." Demi replied a small smile on her face.

"That's fine, I could drop you off on my way to the shops if you wanted?"

"Joe already offered." Nick stated.

"I'm meeting up with Ryan and Jake." Joe explained and Denise nodded her head gently.

"That's fine too, I'll be back in time to hear how my grand baby is doing and see the pictures." She grinned.

"You do know mom, most kids parents our age would freak out at becoming a grandparent." Nick stated.

"Yes but I'm already a granny so I have the name already, like I said, being angry at you both isn't going to make the baby go away. I'm just surprised you got in there before Joe."

"Rude." Joe spoke quickly making them laugh.

"Well, I know what you're like with girls as much as I hate it," Denise stated. "But you haven't been out in a while."

"Haven't felt the need to." Joe shrugged his shoulders.

Joe Nick and Demi all managed to get to the hospital without it seeming suspicious. Nick didn't mind hanging around the hospital for a bit whilst they had their appointment. It just meant that he would be first to hear about his niece or nephew. It was all exciting to him even though they were pretending for now that it was his baby. Demi signed herself in before sitting with the two boys. She could see the looks people were giving her but she couldn't decide whether it was because she was so young or whether it was because Joe and Nick were with her.

"Nervous?" Nick questioned laughing slightly as they nodded their heads at the same time. "I'm sure everything is okay."

"Doesn't make it any easier." Joe sighed slightly playing with Demi's fingers to help calm himself down a bit.

"I don't think they can pick up much at this point." Nick stated.

"And that's why we're gonna be nervous wrecks for the twelve week scan too." Demi stated but they both stood up when Demi's name was called and they headed to where the voice came from greeting the midwife as they entered.

"Hello, my name is Brenda and I'll be your midwife up until the baby is here," She introduced herself and they both greeted her again. "Before you lay down, let me take your weight." Demi stood on the scales doing as she was told throughout the routine checks until she was laid up on the bed her hand in Joe's.

"Will my age cause any problems?" Demi questioned.

"It shouldn't do, sometimes the younger you are, the better it is but obviously problems will always occur," She answered. "Shall we have a look?"

"Yes." They both said eagerly and she laughed. Some gel was squirted on Demi's flat stomach and the probe was set down on her stomach. They both stayed silent as she looked over the scan, making sure that everything was okay for how far Demi was.

"Oh." She stated.

"What?" Demi questioned not helping but be concerned.

"I believe I can see two babies here, congratulations, you're having twins." She revealed tilting the screen so they could see.
