Demi's POV

It had been 5minutes since Wilmer eventually made it up the stairs in a daze he was not like the man I first met this man was upset and not afraid to show his emotions.

It was nine in the morning, so I decided to give the kids a call to see how their night had gone. "Hi Demi, how are you both?" "Wilmer is upstairs with his family now so I thought I would ring to see how you all were." "Wasn't the best nights sleep I will admit to that." "Why what is up with the children?" I started to become anxious because of me being so far away if anything was to happen to the kids I wouldn't be able to get to them quick enough. "They are fine just Oscar had a nightmare last night waking up Olivia and they both ended up sleeping in my bed, it was the only way I could get them to go back to sleep." "Oh do you know what his nightmare was about?" "No he won't speak today, it's like he has become mute. We are off into town today to pick up some bits for the house so hopefully he may speak up then." "Ok Shannon well I won't push them to speak to me I will give them a ring either later or tomorrow depending on the time. Have fun." I hung up the phone and turned sharply as I heard footsteps behind me.

All I saw was 4 lost people, their faces drained of energy and my heart sunk. "What's happened?" I ask eager to know why their presence was downstairs. "Nothing has happened Demi, dad wants to speak to you on his own." Wilmer spoke to me as a tear rolled down his cheek. "Me, on my own, why?" "I'm not sure but please go and see him." Wilmer's mum spoke up as she tries to give out a little smile. "Sure I will go up there straight away." As I finished my sentence I wandered up the stairs, I now felt lost this wasn't suppose to be happening right now but I had to give him what he wanted he was slowly fading and this could be my last chance to speak to him.

"Bino, how are you doing?" I asked as I walked through the bedroom door to see a frail old man trying to sit up to greet me whilst coughing. I rushed to his assistance. "No please stay led down, stay comfortable it is only me." I say as I try to restrain him from sitting up any more. "Demitria you have been the best thing to ever happen to my Wilmer, he has matured so much whilst being with you. I have seen you as one of my own daughters, all your issues you have faced has made you the strong woman you are today and I am so proud of you for it." My eyes start to fill with tears, Balbino has been like a second father to me, I didn't get to see him much but when I did he always meant well and always made me smile and feel loved. "That is the sweetest thing someone has ever said to me." "I'm sure Wilmer has said sweeter things, if you know what I mean." He told me with a little cheesy grin on his face which made me smile although tears were still streaming from my eyes. "Demitria." I stopped him, "please call me Demi you always called me Demitria but today please call me Demi." "Demi, you will always be part of me and hopefully when you and Wilmer have children of your own in the future you can tell them all about me." "No you can tell them all about yourself, you are a fighter I know you can beat this." Tears running uncontrollably down my cheeks as I try to wipe them away ruining my makeup. "Believe me sweetheart I wish I could say the same, but this illness is just too much for me I have been struggling for so long now and I think it is finally time to let go." "But I can't let go." He started to become breathless, I placed my hand on his cheek as my thumb soothed him, "calm down, I am here. I have something to say and it would mean a lot knowing that you will be the first to know about this, but you have to promise not to tell anyone about it." "I promise Demi, I would never dare to spill other people's secrets, they aren't mine to tell." "I am..." I froze trying to get the words out, it was just to daunting to know once I had told someone the truth it would feel real. "I am... Pregnant with Wilmer's baby." I say as a little smile came through on my face. "Oh my, I can't believe it I am so proud of you two, if I'm not here to see him or her please give it all my love because I wouldn't want it to grow up knowing that its grandfather didn't know them." He slowly says as he placed his hand on my stomach to where the baby would be laying. I placed my hand on his and smiled to which I saw him slowly disappear, "I promise to tell them tonight and you will be their nightingale. Bino, please stay with me." I started saying to him hysterically. "Bino don't leave me, don't leave your family behind." With that he took one last breath and spoke, "goodbye my loved ones." He was gone, he never spent his last breathes with his wife or kids, he spent them with me did he know he was loosing the battle and wanted to speak to me before it was too late.

I sat for around five minutes with my heads resting on his chest sobbing, he was actually gone it didn't feel right, how was I going to tell Wilmer and the rest of his family.

I slowly picked myself up off the chair and rubbed my eyes dry although that was impossible, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and rubbed my stomach, he had died whilst holding my stomach in his hand keeping our baby safe. I walked back towards his bed and placed a gently kiss on his forehead whilst telling him "sleep tight Bino I will look out for them for you, my hero in disguise." More tears fell down my cheeks surely I must be nearly empty of tears by now but they never seemed to end.

I moved towards the top of the stairs I could hear them talking down stairs. "It's very quiet up there I hope they're both ok." My heart stopped, they were still unaware that their husband and dad had passed away, I hurried myself down the stairs and just stood blankly in front of them with all my energy drained from my face. "Dems, what is up." Wilmer asks standing up and walking towards me. "He has left us." "What no don't be silly, he is fine." Wilmer tries telling me, but I could tell he knew, the way he spoke was as if he was trying to make the truth disappear. "Wilmer, I am being serious, I hate to break it to you guys but Bino has passed away." "What was his last words Demi?" Wilmers mum asked me whilst tears fell freely down her face. "He said 'goodbye my loved ones' I have never been in this situation before, I don't know how to react." They all broke down into tears, "mum I know this isn't the nicest thing ever but I actually placed a video camera in dads room so we could get see his last few days with us, I only placed it in there when I arrived this morning. I expected it would be so much longer." Before I had chance to say anything Wilmer ran up the stairs to collect the camer, I think he may of forgotten that his dead father was still led in his bed peacefully.

Ten minutes later...

Wilmer walked slowly down the stairs, his face was white I ran to comfort him whilst gently removing the camera from his hand. I didn't want him to find out through a video that he was going to become a dad. "Could you all sit down a minute I promised myself I would do this and I also promised Bino, I can't break it." They all sat down on the couch looking at me blankly and confused. "What is it babe?" Wilmer asks confused as to what I have to say. "I'm pregnant Wilmer, we are going to have a baby." They all started crying as soon as I mentioned the word pregnant. "Like they say one leaves to let another enter the world." Wilmers mum says whilst crying and running to give me a hug, I hope this would give people happier thoughts that their dad and husband left to let our little bundle of joy join the world. "He would be so proud of you two." "I think he would of been too. I had to tell you before you watched the video, I told him before he passed, I just didn't want you to find out through the video footage." I say as I have Wilmer a hug, it felt strange as if my old Wilmer was back his warmth and comfort had returned, I felt at ease.
