Demi finds herself offering to be a surrogate for her best friend, Matthew and his new husband, Damien.
Is this the best thing she's ever done, or was offering just a huge mistake?
I pulled my leggings up and over my stomach, smiling to myself as I turned to the side, my hand running along my stomach as I stared at myself in the bathroom mirror.
"I cannot get over how fast you're growing, Little One" I grabbed my phone off the bathroom counter and quickly snapped a photo. "I wonder if you're daddies have decided whether they're going to find out whether you're a little boy or girl today?" the smile on my face widened as tiny flutters erupted in my stomach. I first felt the baby, or the little flutters, a couple days ago and it's an incredible feeling. I cried the first time I felt them. "I can't wait for you to kick a little harder so your daddies can feel you" I spoke down to my stomach as the flutters continued. "Let's send this photo to your daddies."
Me: You guys finding out the gender today or what?🤰🏻

Matthew: Our little baby's growing good❤️ And maybe😉🤣
I rolled my eyes and lightly chuckled.
"Are you even going to let your daddies find out what you are?" I smiled at the flutters I received as if in reply. "I hope you're a little girl, but I suppose my opinion doesn't really matter, huh?" my smile faltered slightly at the realisation. "I-I need to just enjoy you while I have you, right?" my attention was pulled from my stomach as my phone vibrated on the counter. I picked it up to see that Dallas had tagged me in a post on Instagram.

I met up with Matthew and Damien in the waiting area of the doctor's office. There were a couple papz hanging around outside but I was wearing an oversized sweater to help hide my bump. We're going to have to announce that I'm carrying a baby for Matthew and Damien soon because I can't keep wearing sweaters in this heat. Matthew wrapped his arms around me, his lips pressing gently against my temple as I stepped into the waiting area.
"Did you get here okay?"
"Yeah, Max dropped me off at the entrance" I pulled Damien into a hug once Matthew released me. "I'm going to go and sign in" they nodded and sat back down as I wondered towards the reception desk. "I have an appointment at 11:20, Demi Lovato" the elderly lady behind the desk gave me a smile.
"You're all booked in. You want to take a seat in room 2, you can go and wait in there."
"Thanks" she shook her head, turning her attention back to the computer as I turned back around. I glanced towards Matthew and Damien and indicated for them to follow. I took a seat on the bed as I entered the room, Matthew and Damien taking their seats opposite me. "So, are you finding out the gender today or not?" they shared a smirk before glancing at me with a nod.
"As long as baby allows us too" I squealed in excitement.
"Team boy or girl?"
"Boy."
"Girl."
"High-Five" Matthew rolled his eyes as I squealed, leaning forward slightly to share a high-five with Damien who chuckled. "I think you're having a little girl too."
"I don't really care though, as long as they're healthy" I gave them both a smile, glancing down at my hands as I twiddled with my fingers. It wasn't long later that the doctor stepped into the room, a warm smile spread across his face. He did the usual checks of my weight and blood pressure, the boring stuff as I call it. A nervous fluttering, or it could have been the baby, began in my stomach as I lowered myself back against the bed. Matt and Damien stood themselves beside me, Matthew sliding his hand into mine.
"So, are we finding out baby's gender today?"
"We are, so long as baby wants us to know" Dr James lightly chuckled as he helped me to lift up my shirt so he had access to my stomach. A lump formed in my throat as Dr James began the ultrasound. Tears welled up in my eyes as the baby's galloping heartbeat filled the room. I tried to keep my eyes away from the monitor, but I just obviously wasn't strong enough because they locked on the still image of the baby.
"I can see the gender perfectly, if you still want to know?"
"We want to know."
"Congratulations, you're having a little girl" I cheered in victory. I glanced to Matt and Damien, tears falling down both their cheeks as they hugged. I couldn't hold my tears back anymore and they slowly began their journey down my cheeks. I swallowed the lump from my throat and glanced back to the monitor, the tears unwillingly falling harder. I'm carrying a little girl. I'm carrying a baby girl. I wish I didn't know I was having a baby girl because now my heart hurts, it fucking kills.
"We're having a little girl" I glanced to them as Dr James removed the probe from my stomach.
"Congratulations. She's one very lucky little girl" Matthew locked his arms around me, chuckling into my ear as Damien locked his arms around us both, pressing a kiss to the top of my head. I chewed down on my lower lip to try and hold back the tears that were threatening to roll down my cheeks.
