Afterglow (Book Three)

Fourteen

Nick

Demi Lovato, 27, seen in public for the first time since postponing the rest of her tour due to 'illness.'

The Heart Attack singer was spotted arriving at LAX airport, keeping herself covered by a large hoodie. She was closely followed by her fiancé Nick Jonas, also 27, and their 19 month old son, Peyton. She announced on Instagram on Thursday that her tour was postponed until the foreseeable future. It is unsure as to why the tour was postponed but we wish Lovato a speeding recovery.

"I sometimes really hate being famous" I wrapped my arm around Demi and pressed a kiss to the top of her head as she cuddled herself into me. I took her phone from her hand and locked it. I wrapped my arms around her, my fingers running along her side as she sighed.

"I know, Babe."

"Has Phil sorted out dates yet for the new shows?"

"He's looking to do it around November, it'll be just after the European leg?" she nodded into my chest. "Only if that's okay with you though? He wants you to go in for a meeting when you feel better" Demi pushed herself away from me, a small smile on her face as she turned to me.

"That's fine" I stroked a strand of hair behind Demi's ear as she glanced down at her hands that lay in her lap.

We got back from New York yesterday afternoon. It all went smoothly until we hit LA. We were bombarded by paparazzi as we touched down in the airport, the paparazzi was that bad that Peyton had a meltdown. Max drove us home and everything was fine until Demi found the ultrasound scan that I had stuck to the fridge. She completely broke down.

"How are you feeling, Baby?" I watched as she chewed down on her lip.

"I wish things would have been different" I began to play with the ends of her hair, remaining silent so she could talk. "How can I love them and want them so much now, but I didn't when I was pregnant?"

"They always say you want something you can no longer have" she sniffled, lifting her hand to wipe at her cheeks.

"I wonder if they would have been a boy or a girl?"

"I think a little girl" I dropped back against the couch, continuing to play with Demi's hair even as she turned her head to look at me. "And she would have looked just like her mommy" I could feel myself growing emotional at the mere thought of having a daughter identical to Demi.

"Daddy's little girl" I pressed my lips to her forehead as the tears continued their journey down her cheeks. "We'll try again, after we're married. I-I'd rather not be pregnant for our wedding. I want to be able to walk down the aisle and not wobble" Demi lightly chuckled and the sound made my heart swell. It's good to hear her laugh. I haven't heard it in a while.

"Honeymoon baby?"

"That sounds like a perfect idea" she ran her hand along my neck, the pad of her thumb wiping the odd tear from my cheek. She leant up to brush her lips against mine, my lips curling into a smile.

"Hi, Baby" Peyton darted instantly towards Demi as I lowered him down onto the floor. He clambered onto her lap and curled into her. "Did you have a good nap, Handsome?" she pressed a kiss to the top of Peyton's head as she locked her arms around him. The smile on my face was enormous as I watched them silently interact. Peyton was twiddling with the engagement ring on Demi's finger as he remained cuddled into her. I went to speak but was cut off by my phone vibrating in my pocket. I pulled it out and the smile on my face only widened at the message in our family group chat. "Who is that?" I pulled my eyes from my phone and smiled over at Demi.

"Sophie's had the baby" I watched as a smile formed on Demi's face, my heart broke ever so slightly as her smile faulted a little, obviously remembering the baby we just lost.

"Is there a photo?" I nodded, moving to lower myself down onto the couch beside Demi who I could see was trying so hard to hold back her emotions. I ran my hand along her back as I handed her the phone. "Oh my gosh, she's gorgeous."

Joe: Our little Brynlee Dee. Born yesterday, 12th July at 17:18, weighing 8lb 2oz and measuring 18inches long. She's absolutely perfect and she can't wait to meet her family.

"Brynlee suits her so much" I pressed a kiss to just below Demi's ear as she stared down at the photo of our newborn niece. "Oh, I can't wait to have cuddles."

"She looks so much like Sophie, don't you think?"

"She's gorgeous" Demi leant her head against my shoulder and released a breath.

"How do you feel?" I ran my fingers into Demi's hair and pressed a kiss to the top of her head.

"It hurts, but I'm so happy for them both. They're gonna be amazing parents. She's gonna have Joe wrapped around her little finger for sure" I chuckled lightly as Demi smiled through her tears. "Baby, you've got a new little cousin" Peyton stared down at my phone.

"Baby" she nodded, pressing a kiss to the top of his head.

"Yeah, it's baby Brynlee. She's uncle Joey's and auntie Sophie's baby" he nuzzled himself into Demi and grumbled. "You can't be tired, Handsome. Are we getting hungry?" he nodded in reply. "If we ask daddy nicely, I'm sure he'll make you a sandwich" Peyton and Demi both turned to face me, an identical pout forming on both their faces. I softly laughed.

"I'm sure I could accommodate to that" I tapped Peyton lightly on the tip of his nose causing him to giggle. "You want anything, Baby?" Demi gave me a small smile.

"No, I'm okay."

"You sure?" she nodded in reply. We shared a smile as I cupped her chin in my hand, bringing her lips up to meet mine. The kiss was brief but it was still sweet and full of love. The smile on my face widened as I left the room, Peyton babbling away to Demi, chatting a load of nonsense.
