Surviving Parenthood [Book Two]

Twelve

Demi

I woke up this morning engaged. I'm eventually going to be Mrs Demi Lovato-Ehrich. I've dreamt of this moment since I was a child. I've always dreamt of someday being a wife and a mother, and I have proof of that on Twitter. I woke up naturally and smiled as my eyes landed on my ring as they fluttered open, the ring shining as the sun hit the diamond perfectly. I turned to Max to find that he was still asleep. I rolled over on the bed and grabbed my phone off the nightstand. I rolled back to face Max and as I did, his eyes fluttered open.

"Don't move" his eyebrows furrowed slightly but I just giggled as I placed my hand on his chest and snapped a photo which I posted to Instagram.

"What did you put?" he turned to me as I glanced up from my phone with a wide smile.

"Omg, am I dreaming?" he chuckled and I giggled, rolling over to lower my phone down onto the nightstand before rolling my way on top of Max. He ran his hands along my thighs as I smiled down at him, running my fingers through his hair. "I'm not dreaming, right?"

"You're not dreaming, Baby" I leant down towards him and brushed my lips delicately against his, giggling against his lips as he cupped my ass.

"I love you, and I can't wait to be your wife."

"I can't wait to be your husband" I chewed down on my lower lip as we stared into each other's eyes, smiles spread across our faces until our lips connected and the room was filled with our moans.

"Baby Girl" I was pulled into a hug by my mom the moment that she pulled open the front door. I giggled as I was knocked slightly off balance but Max standing behind me, prevented me from falling backwards. "Let me see the ring" I giggled, smiling widely as she pulled away and I held out my hand which she took. "It's gorgeous" I glanced back at Max who leant to press a kiss to my cheek as I beamed.

"Right? He did good."

"You managed to choose this out yourself?"

"It was custom made" the smile on mom's face just widened.

"I am so happy for you both" she glanced between Max and I, her eyes locking with mine as she continued, her eyes welling up with tears which ultimately made me emotional. "You deserve this so much, Baby Girl. I'm so happy and I'm so proud of you" I playfully rolled my eyes at her tears causing her to lightly hit me on the arm.

"Thanks Mom" she leant to press a kiss to my cheek. "Now, where's my little peanut?" I wiped my fallen tears from my cheeks.

"She's fast asleep on your dad" mom stepped out of the way allowing Max and I to step into the house. I was instantly greeted by an excited Batman and Ella.

"Hi, Babies" I sunk down to the floor and was instantly attacked with licks and kisses. "Oh, I missed you both so much too" I ran my fingers through Batman's fur. "Where's your baby sister, Guys?" Batman and Ella darted into the living room as if they knew exactly what I was asking. I giggled lightly and stood, Max's hand on my lower back as I began into the living room, the smile on my face widened as my eyes landed on dad who had Ayla fast asleep on his chest. "How long has she been asleep?"

"About 20 minutes. Congratulations, Princess" I lowered myself down onto the couch beside my dad and cuddled myself into him, stroking the back of my finger along Ayla's cheek.

"Thanks Dad" he pressed a kiss to the top of my head. It was no longer than 5 minutes later that Ayla stirred awake. "Hi, Peanut" I took her from dad and cradled her against my chest, my lips pressing against the top of her head. "I missed you so much, Baby Girl. Were you a good girl for nana and papi?" I ran my fingers gently along her hair.

"She was a perfect little angel" Ayla wrapped her hand around the tip of my finger and cooed.

"DEMI?" Maddie's voice filtered into the house as the front door closed.

"Yeah, Mads?" I smiled down at Ayla who was staring up at me, trying to suck on my finger. "Does my finger taste good, Baby Girl?" a smile formed on her face and my heart did a flip. "She just smiled, like a proper gummy smile" Max lowered himself down onto the couch beside me as I adjusted how I had a hold of Ayla so she was laying along my thighs, her head resting in my hands.

"You're growing up too fast, Peanut" he leant to press a kiss to her forehead causing her to coo.

"CONGRATULATIONS" Max and I jumped as we glanced to the living room door as Maddie and Dallas stepped through, carrying about a dozen balloons that all had 'congratulations' written across them. I couldn't help but to giggle, the smile widening on my face.

"I need to see that ring" I rolled my eyes but gently handed Ayla over to Max so that my sisters could get a look at my ring.

"Oh my gosh, its huge" I couldn't help but to chuckle at their wide eyes.

"It's gorgeous."

"No way in hell did you pick this out" I glanced to Max who playfully rolled his eyes.

"He did an amazing job, right?"

"He did an incredible job" I leant to press a kiss to Max's cheek.

"Congratulations" Dallas and Maddie attacked me in a hug and I giggled as I locked my arms around them both, unable to feel anything but ecstatic.
