Forbidden | A Jemi Love Story

Twenty Nine

Joe rushed down the stairs seeing Denise was stood by the door waiting for him to come down. He didn't say anything to her as he past but he heard the door close and keys jangle as she locked the door but it wasn't long until they both got to the car and Joe couldn't help but notice the relief on Demi's face that he was coming. He climbed into the back with her and Nick as Denise got in the passenger side. Paul drove off almost instantly and Joe took hold of her hand as Nick had the other. She felt comforted but restless too. They were all scared that this was just too early for the two girls.

They reached the hospital and they were seen to straight away, Denise had called Demi's midwife on the way and also Demi's parents who were on their way too. Joe and Paul were shut off in a relatives room. They were there so suddenly before Joe could say anything and now he felt shut away from everything. Nick being his role on everything. He tried not to let it show in front of his father but he was finding it hard. His head shot up when the door opened and he saw Denise step in with Eddie.

"What's going on." He questioned.

"One of the babies is in a little bit of distress." She explained to them both as she sat down next to him Joe being the one sat in the middle between his parents. He sighed slightly.

"What are they doing about it?" Paul inquired.

"They're just keeping an eye on her for now to see if she settles and the moment she deteriorates in anyway they are rushing her for an emergency c-section." She explained.

"And they will let us know here?" Joe questioned again and she nodded her head gently Denise taking hold of his hand.

"Are you okay Joseph?" She questioned him and he nodded his head gently.

"I'm fine, just scared for my family." He admitted and Paul rubbed his back gently. Joe looked from his mother to the floor not baring to look at her. He knew she knew that something was going on.

"Is there something you need to tell me?" She whispered slightly as Eddie and Paul got into a conversation of their own. Joe hesitated but shook his head.

"No." He replied getting his phone out of his pocket to try and distract himself from what was going on.

"Come on Demi, this lie has gone on long enough. I'm sure you'd rather have Joe here than me." Nick stated as soon as Dianna had left the room to go to the bathroom. But Demi shook her head.

"I can't deal with that now. One of my daughters could be in danger and it's out of my hands." Demi replied running her fingers through her hair. But she was trying to stay as calm as she could knowing that if she got worked up, so would her daughter.

"This isn't fair on Joe, Demi," Nick urged. "These are his daughters too and he's not going to know anything about what's going on until word gets back there."

"I don't want to think about this now Nick." Demi urged back and Nick shook his head. He gulped slightly when a beeping suddenly started happening and Demi whimpered slightly. A midwife rushed inside looking at the machine.

"She's deteriorating, we've got theatre ready for you." She stated her voice quick and before Nick knew it they were both rushed off. Demi to get ready for theatre and he was told to put some scrubs on. He picked them up shaking his head again before he rushed out of the room and towards the relatives room bursting in.

"Nick? You need to be with Demi." Denise demanded quickly shooing him out of the room but Nick put his hand up looking at Demi.

"She's going to theatre." He breathed and Joe stood up instantly.

"Where are you going?" Paul demanded.

"To be with Demi and our daughters. Nick isn't the father, I am." He replied but he didn't stick around to hear what they had to say. His focus was on Demi and their two little girls.
