Demi's POV
Never did I think I would run into her again. When I found out she had my son, our son.
I knew I had to stop anything before it happened. He wasn't supposed to know. He wasn't supposed to meet her. Never. But now he has and it's just a matter of hours until he started to second guess everything.
How could she not notice he's exactly like her. The nose, eyes, ears, mouth, lips, smile, personality. He's a mini her, literally.
She wasn't supposed to meet him, she can't just show up out of no where and mess up my little world outside of hers.
I left the fame for Noah. He will not live in the spot light all his life. He will not become her.
"Mama!" I heard quietly next to me. I held my five year ago son tightly to my chest while he was having some type of nightmare.
Never in my life has he said mama to me. It's always been mommy.
Then it hit me...
He was talking about her.
Sighing deeply I pulled the cover over my body and laid closer to him. When feeling warm body heat he snuggled in closer.
Before I knew it. My eyes became heavy and I drifted away into deep sleep. Not hearing or feeling anything around me.

A few hours later I woke up in a different place I did not know of. Then I remembered last night events. I whipped the sleep off my eyes, I slowly started to get a smell of chocolate chip pancakes. I smiled knowing they were Noah's favorite not just his but hers as well.
Wait. Noah!
I quickly jumped out of bed, running into the dinning room. I noticed him siting down shirtless with pancakes right in front of him. I smiled and noticed Stephanie doing the same right next to him. They were in a deep conversation about something I couldn't pick up on.
"I'm guessing that's your doing" I said point to Noah's chest. She shook her head with food in her mouth.
"It hot!" Noah yelled before giving Stephanie a high five. They both faced me and starting laughing together most likely noticing my angry face.
"Mama, mommy mad" Noah said between giggles. Both Stephanie and I were shocked by it and turned to each other.
I noticed a discomfort on her face but also the small smile on her lips. I smiled at the thought of them being that close. If only things were different.
"Would you like some pancakes?" I heard her say. I looked at her, while she stared deeply into my eyes.
"Yes thank you" she nodded before standing up making me a plate. I sat on the other side of Noah and cleaned off the pancake syrup on he's chin. He giggled before holding up a piece of pancake for me.
"Why thank you Noah" I took the piece into my mouth while he waited for my reaction. I couldn't help but let out a satisfying moan. Stephanie walked back into the room with a smirk on her face as Noah cheered.
"What" I glared at steph.
"Nothing" she sat the plate in front of me before sitting down, "it's just amazing to know I still have that affect on you"
"You wish Bell"
"It's a fact Lovato"
I rolled my eyes, turning to look at Noah who was now gone. Where'd he go? I turned to face Stephanie. She had the same expression on her face as well.
"Noah?" She called out only to hear a piano go off.
"Noah! No!" I yelled standing up running to my son.
"Mommy look!" I completely stopped and listened. The melody was familiar but I can't pin point it. Until...
"Hey you got it down buddy!" Stephanie yelled joining him on the piano chair. She starting humming and playing her own kinds of notes that mixed very well together.
I couldn't help but smile. They were so much alike to the point I wondered why they didn't realize it.
"Mommy! STEPHANIE SHOWED ME!!" I smiled at my sons enthusiasm. His eyes glow in the most beautiful way. Their were full happiness. Happiness I haven't seen in a while.
"That's great bub"
I watched my son and Stephanie play piano for a few more minutes before walking back to the dinning table and finishing up the pancakes.
I observed the two from the distance, smiled every time they smiled, laughed every time they did and teared up through it all.
It had been ten full minutes until I felt a hand on my shoulder. Placing my fork down, I cleaned the syrup of my lips before looking up.
"Is everything okay?" Stephanie whispered.
I nodded, "Everything is fine"
She sent me a concerned smile before nodding and picking up my plate. She then disappeared into the kitchen.
In that moment I let the tears I had been holding back fall. Noah was now humming while Stephanie was cheering him on. I was a crying mess.
Silently crying.

Halsey's POV
I ended the call before it hit voicemail, it had been the 12 time and she hadn't pick up. I'm considered something might have happened while I was gone. She wasn't back home yet. She was still here in Texas.
I got to her hotel room and knocked on the door. I could hear the piano playing, I smiled thinking it was my fiancé playing but when the piano didn't stop playing and the door opened. I know it wasn't.
And I never thought it would be her.
"Demi?"
AN: hey guys. Sorry I haven't posted. I was supposed to put up three chapters up but after the event with dems. I thought it would be best to hold off. I'm so hurt by what happened and coming from a person who is/ was in the same shoes I can honestly say it's f***ing hard. Demi is strong and a fighter. She has and will recover from this. It just takes time.
