CHAPTER 24- Girl
Nicko's POV
"NICKO!" I groaned and lifted my head off of the pillow. Demi wasn't laying beside me so that meant I was either being summoned to get yelled at or to help her with something. I sighed, and let my head rest against the pillow again. My door suddenly flung open but I was overcome with my exhaustion and didn't even turn my head, pretending to be asleep. I heard her footsteps lightly pad across the floor and the bed shifted on my right. A few seconds later her fingertips gently touched my bare back, trailing across my skin as she examined me. I didn't speak as she sighed.
"I love you so much baby." I sensed her move and peaked through my lashes to see her checking to see if I was still asleep and quickly immobilized my body, curious as to what she wanted to say. Her fingertips resumed on my back, "You're gonna be the best daddy ever, and one day the best husband ever... I know you're scared to marry me, and I'm scared too, but I'll be patient with you. I'll love you until the end of my life and farther. I just need you to let me. I'm gonna yell and scream and some days you're gonna want to strangle me but it'll all be worth it I promise." She paused and I felt her lips at my neck, close to my ear, "You can pretend to wake up now."
My eyes opened in shock, "How did you know I was awake?!"
She chuckled as ran her hands through my bedhead, "I know your breathing. I've slept with you enough times to know the difference between when you're fake sleeping and when you're actually in deep sleep."
I wrinkled my nose, "Oh." She gently squished my cheeks and giggled.
"Yeah, now get dressed, we have a doctor's appointment in like half an hour."
I smiled and spread my hand over her growing stomach, "What's it for this time?"
Demi place her tiny hands on top of my huge one, "We get to find out if we're having a girl or a boy, if you want to."
I looked up, shock and excitement clear on my face, "Really?" Demi nodded and I pulled her down to me, kissing her passionately and letting back hand trail down her back as it arched under me. "I love you so much." I whispered, once she'd pulled away.
"I love you too baby." She breathed, and hit my cheek lightly, "Now let's go, We're gonna be late!"

I stared at the screen that showed our baby on the ultrasound. No matter how many time I saw it I was still overcome with emotion. Demi gripped my hand and I kiss the back of her palm, not able to rip my eyes from my baby.
"Would you like to know the sex?" We both nodded eagerly and the picture shifted as the Doctor moved the wand around, "Well, I'm pleased to let you know that you two are going to be parents to a little girl."
Demi gasped and I felt a strange warmth flood through me as I kissed Demi passionately. "A girl." I whispered in her ear, "We're gonna have a daughter." Demi pulled back and nodded with a huge smile on her face. Suddenly, I frowned, "She better look like you."

I laid next to Demi that night and she snuggled into my arms, sighing in content. Twitter was going crazy as we'd just posted a picture of Demi's stomach with the caption "it's a girl!!" And now everyone knew of her pregnancy.
"Are you scared?" Demi asked me, looking up with a worried expression.
I smiled down at her and kissed the tip of her nose, "Absolutely terrified. You?"
She nodded, "But you're gonna be an amazing daddy."
I chuckled, "I don't know, I'm so protective over you it's gonna be hard to let her out of my sight."
Demi smiled and rubbed my chest, "Don't worry, she's gonna be such a daddy's girl. And, with our looks together she's gonna need a little bit of protectiveness to keep her away from all of the boys."
My expression darkened, "She's not allowed to date. Ever."
Demi rolled her eyes slightly, "I guess we'll have to cross that road when we get there... We have a couple years to figure that out."
I encircled my arms around her waist and pressed my face into the crook of her neck, "Oh my God she's not even born and I don't want her growing up."
She gently ran her nails through my hair, "Don't worry about that, just enjoy the moment. She's gonna be here soon and then it's like we blinked and she's in high school, then college, then she'll be married and have kids of her own."
I pulled back slightly and ran the pad of my thumb over her lower lip, "I love you, and I promise to be the best dad I possibly can."
Demi smiled and kissed me softly, "I know you will, and I love you too."
