Demi's POV

It feels strange going through another pregnancy 18 years after Gabi's. When I was pregnant with Gabi, I hid away and didn't see Joe more than 2 or 3 times for the entire 9 months. Although being pregnant is a good experience, I'm really just looking forward to meeting the baby for the first time.

Today, I am 3 months pregnant, or 12 weeks, and I have a small bump that isn't noticeable unless I'm wearing a tight-fitting shirt. Joe and I have decided that we need to announce it, especially since most celebrity gossip sites say that we have broken up.

I play with the ring on my finger and smile. I'm so glad that Joe forgave me. I guess I wasn't really thinking when I tried to run away with Gabi. I just hope that we can get beyond those problems now that there's a baby coming in 6 months.

Gabi has been working a lot and it seems as if she's trying to distract herself from reality. I know that she has a lot of decisions to make but I just hope she knows that Joe and I aren't pressuring her to leave anytime soon. I think we would both miss her too much.

That afternoon, I have a doctor's appointment to make sure that the baby is healthy and all that. We still have to wait a while to find out the gender, but I'm not even sure if I want to.

Joe makes it home from work before Gabi and he drives us to the doctor's clinic.

"The baby seems to be healthy," the doctor says.

Slowly, the paced sound of the heartbeat fills the room and I can't help but smile widely. How can I have so much love for this baby that I've never even met?

I notice that Joe is smiling too and I am so glad that he came around. I don't know what I would have done if I had to endure this pregnancy without him.
