I stepped out of the recording booth and smiled as Peyton threw himself at me.
"That was incredible, Dems. What do you think of mommy, Peyton? She's a good singer, right?" Peyton nodded, his head resting on my shoulder.
"Thank you, Baby Boy."
"So, you're looking at September for a new single?" I nodded over at Oak as I lowered myself down onto the couch, settling Peyton on my lap. "You have a single in mind?" I chewed on my lip and shook my head.
"I really haven't a clue."
"Well, you have time. Just let me know when you have one and I'll get working on it and make sure it's perfect, even though your work really doesn't require much doing to it" I found my cheeks blushing as Oak chuckled. "You hit it perfectly every time."
"Thank you" he gave me a smirk before turning to his computer, playing with the new record.
"What you got planned for the rest of the day?"
"Not much. I'm thinking about maybe treating this one to some ice cream because he's been such a good boy for mommy while she's been busy working" Peyton glanced up at me with a wide smile. "You want some ice cream, Baby?" he nodded without even thinking about it. I pressed a kiss to his forehead and lightly laughed.
"Ice cream sounds good. What's your favourite, Peyton?"
"You like chocolate chip, don't you, Baby?"
"Yep" I grabbed my phone from the side of the couch as it alerted with a message.
Nick💍❤️: I'm finished! Didn't take as long as expected! Are you still at the studio? xx
Me: Yep! Thinking I may treat Peyton to some ice cream on the way home if you want to join?? 😜😘
"You're free to go whenever you're ready anyway, Dems" I smiled up at Oak, keeping my arms locked around Peyton as he remained cuddled into me and continued to play with my necklace.
Nick💍❤️: I'll meet you at the studio 😝
"Daddy's coming with us to get ice cream, Handsome" I laughed loudly as he cheered his excitement.
"How's married life treating you then, Dems?" I blushed, smiley widely as I glanced up at Oak's smirk.
"It's going good. I still can't believe it to be fair. We've been married for 3 months now and it's still incredible."
"Is there gonna be any big baby news anytime soon?" I shrugged my shoulders, smiling down at Peyton.
"We're trying. We've been trying since the wedding, but we haven't had any luck yet" I ran my fingers through Peyton's hair as he sighed against me. I haven't been quiet about my want for another baby so near enough everyone knows.
"I'm sure it'll happen soon."
"I hope so" it fell silent around us, Oak focusing on my music as I cuddled up with Peyton.

"Baby, you're getting ice cream everywhere" Peyton giggled, squealing as I attempted to wipe at his chin.
"No, Mommy" he swatted away my hand.
"Demi, leave him to finish his ice cream" I rolled my eyes and grimaced slightly at the state that Peyton was in. I sighed, glancing to meet Nick's gaze as he smirked at me. "You enjoy that ice cream, Buddy" Peyton nodded and focused all of his attention on his chocolate chip ice cream.
"So, what happened at the meeting?"
"I-So, I've been offered the lead role in a movie" a proud smile suddenly spread across my face.
"Oh my god, that's amazing. I'm so happy for you" he smiled and nodded, keeping his eyes from mine. "What?"
"Filming starts at the end of September" I still wasn't fully understanding the issue. "In New York" and now it clicked. I tried to remain stoic but I could feel myself starting to panic. We've only been married for 3 months and already Nick's going to get taken away from us.
"So..." I couldn't find the words.
"The deadline for the film is the beginning of next year so filming will be pretty intense" I nodded but I wasn't sure I was taking everything in.
"We may as well put making a baby on hold then" I spoke casually as I scooped another spoonful of my cookie dough ice cream into my mouth.
"Why?"
"Because you're gonna be in New York and we aren't gonna see each other for god knows how many weeks. We can't exactly make a baby if we aren't seeing each other, can we?" a look of shock formed on Nick's face.
"Maybe we'll have made a baby by then, or you and Peyton could come to New York with me" I shook my head.
"I'm not moving Peyton to New York for a couple of weeks" he nodded in understanding. "So, you're fine with leaving me at home alone in the early stages of pregnancy and with a toddler? I don't think that's fair, Nick."
"This is my career, Demi. What do you expect me to do? Do you expect me to say no? Because new flash for you, that isn't going to happen" his voice was slightly raised which caught the attention of the elderly couple that were sat on the table behind us. I sent them a small smile before turning my attention to Nick.
"Can you keep your voice down, and can we not do this here?" I leant over and hissed under my breath.
"Mommy?" I turned to Peyton who was shovelling a spoonful of ice cream into his mouth.
"Yes, Handsome" he lifted his hand and pointed across the street. Mine and Nick's eyes followed his finger and we both sighed at the sight of the paparazzi. "Don't point, Baby, it's rude" I gently lowered his hand and pressed a kiss to his temple. "How's that ice cream?" he giggled and smiled up at me with ice cream literally everywhere. "We're talking about this when we get home" Nick nodded, focusing his attention on the ice cream in front of him as I kept my eyes on Peyton, all while trying to act like we were a very happy little family.
