ddlovato : peek-a-boo with mommy! Nothing better than lazy days with this little princess... Words cannot describe how much this girl has changed my life.

'Oh my goodness... Someone's at the gates, Pearl.' Demi says placing her phone on the bedside table and climbing out of bed. She lifts Pearl and balances the little girl on her hip before making her downstairs towards the buzzer.

'Hello?' She says pressing the button and glancing at the screen.

'Delivery for Miss Lovato.' A voice says holding his badge up to the camera.

'Come on through.' She replies pressing the button to open the gates. Keeping Pearl balanced on her hip she makes her way over to the front door and watches as the courier van drives up the path. The driver gets out with a large parcel and makes his way over to the front door.

'Can I just have you sign here?' He asks holding out the little machine.

'Sure.' She replies smiling. She signs and he passes her the parcel.

'Thank you. The gates should open as you drive up to them.' She says.

'Okay. Have a nice day.' He says causing her to smile.

'You too.' She replies. Making her way back into the house she closes the door and goes through to the living room where she drops the parcel onto the sofa.

'I think this might be the stuff that mommy ordered for your birthday party.' Demi says smiling as she places Pearl down on the floor and kneels down beside the coffee table to begin opening the parcel.

'Hey! How you doing?' Danielle asks smiling as Demi makes her way into the gym with Pearl propped on her hip and the diaper bag slung over her shoulder.

'I'm good. Do you have time to talk?' Demi asks and Danielle nods her head.

'Of course.' Danielle replies. Smiling slightly Demi follows Danielle over to a private side room.

'Everything okay? Things with you and Wilmer good?' Danielle asks as they both sit down and Demi keeps Pearl sitting on her knee.

'Yeah. I need to change my work out schedule and the type of exercises I do.' Demi replies biting her bottom lip.

'You do? How come?' Danielle asks.

'I'm pregnant.' Demi admits.

'Oh my goodness! Congratulations! How far along around you? When did you find out?' Danielle asks instantly moving to hug Demi.

'Thank you. I'm only around five or six weeks. I found out like two weeks ago after we got back from Paris.' Demi replies smiling.

'That's amazing. I'm so happy for you. Pearl's going to be a big sister then?' Danielle says and Demi nods her head.

'Yep. I've been given the all clear by the doctor to continue working out but I just- I need to cut it down a bit and make it not as intense, you know?' Demi explains.

'Of course. I will work something out for you so you can continue working out. How are you feeling anyway? You look amazing!' Danielle says and Demi smiles.

'I feel great. A lot better than I did when I was pregnant with this one.' Demi replies gently bouncing Pearl on her knee.

'That's good. Who else knows?' Danielle asks.

'Just Kelsey and Wilmer. We haven't told any of our families yet.' Demi replies smiling as Pearl reaches towards Danielle.

'Oh hey, cutie! You've gotten so big since I last properly saw you!' Danielle says instantly taking the girl into her arms.

'Wilmer thinks she's going to be walking soon although I strongly disagree with that.' Demi says causing Danielle to smile.

'Well if she's got half her mommy's determination I wouldn't put it past it.' Danielle replies smiling.

'Look at you in your big girl pyjamas! You look so grown up.' Demi says smiling as she fixes Pearl's unicorn print pyjama set before lifting her into her arms. Keeping Pearl balanced on her hip, Demi makes her way downstairs and into the living room where Kelsey, Sirah and Matthew are waiting.

'We got the movie ready and the snacks.' Matthew says gesturing to the large selection of snacks on the coffee table.

'Oh good. I just need to feed her, do you guys mind if I?' Demi asks and they all shake their heads.

'Of course not.' They reply smiling. Sitting down on the sofa Demi drapes a blanket over her lower body before adjusting her shirt so that Pearl can latch on.

'Doesn't that hurt like hell now that she's got some teeth?' Sirah asks.

'Only if she decides to bite.' Demi replies causing them all to wince slightly. Suddenly her phone rings causing her to glance down at it and see Wilmer's name flash up on the screen. Picking the phone up she hits the accept button and holds it against her ear.

'Hey, babe.' She says smiling slightly. Sirah, Kelsey and Matthew watch on as her face pales and tears instantly fill her eyes. Reaching over Kelsey places her hand on Demi's knee as the brunette bites her bottom lip while tears stream down her cheeks.

'Okay...' She says quietly.
