Demi's POV
I stood unsettled, what was steph about to say. There's no way she knew did she? No, no she didn't. Or did she?
It seemed like everyone held their breath as if they hoped she didn't say anything. Anything that would make everything more serious. But nothing could be more serious then what I thought.
What was she about to say?
"It's not going to happen" I let out air I didn't know I had held in. I couldn't say the same for everyone else. She didn't know. A small part of me wanting her to know in this moment. I could tell she was fighting back her emotions. I mean it was Wilmer in front of her right now. I couldn't imagine the horrible memories that might have ran though her mind.
"Yeah right! He's my son and I can definitely take him," That poor excuse of a man yelled. I noticed Stephanie hold onto Noah tighter. She didn't want to let him go.
"He's not your son! He's mine! Get it through your head I haven't seen you-" I argued.
"Stop there! Your lying! He's mine and now hand him over Bell!"he yelled once again. He tried to reach for Noah in which I moved in front of him and Stephanie pushed back.
"I'm sorry Miss Lovato but you must hand over his son." The ignorant lawyer announced.
"HE'S NOT YOUR SON!" I shouted, waking Noah up. Stephanie came closer behind me and held onto my hip. I looked up at her as she give me a look that said 'tell them'. Was it her or was it just my conscience.
I should have told her.
Told both of them.
Now what.
"Okay this is going on too long. He's my son and all she's done is keep him away from me this whole time. So hand him over before I take full custody and you never see him again." Wilmer foolishly said.
Without anyone realizing it. Mia came in with a lawyer behind her. I smiled towards Mia but then looked to Stephanie who nodded to Mia. How did she know?
"Hello I am Miss Lovato and Bell's lawyer, Now all of you must leave their home now. I'm sure none of you have a warrant or any legal documentation that would sustain in court. This is private property and we are asking you to leave before we involve the law." Everyone looked worried, fuck even I didn't expect that. Stephanie had her arm around my hip now and was pressed against me. Noah had his head laid on her shoulder completely unaware of the scene in front of him.
"Now if you can't provide any form of documents that tell me other wise you may please leave now." We watched the officers be the first to leave. Followed closely behind by Wilmers lawyer leaving nothing but him behind. Stephanie set Noah down as Mia took him to his room.
Good call.
"You don't win this one Bell" Wilmer yelled making Stephanie chuckle and come behind me once again. I felt her arms go around my body stronger then I last felt them, she came as close as she could.
And held me.
It was the amazing feeling I had painfully missed. It was a feeling I could feel from my head to my toes, the kind of warmth you feel when drinking the first sip of coffee on a Sunday morning. The same warmth I use to have when she kissed me or simply smiled at me. God am I alive right now. Or dreaming...
"Listen small dick, you have worked up all my nerves for too long. Get out my house now! And just so your aware of it, it was never a game when you didn't stand a chance" she yelled loudly. Wilmer reaction was price less, he was so mad that he left angry and slammed the door behind him.
