Wilmer POV
After Demi sang to Gabi she went right to sleep. It amazes me that she's 12 years old and still let's Demi sing her to sleep. I thought she would've gotten over that by now but she still seems to love it.
Demi was nearly asleep as well, but she was unconsciously combing her fingers through Gabi's hair, still trying to calm her down and protect her after all of the excitement of the day. My two girls...the two most important people in my life. Marking my ex wife as one of the most important people in my life is wrong, especially since I'm married, but Demi is one of the most important people in my life. Without her, I wouldn't be who I am today. She used to give me a lot of credit for her recovery and everything, but I never told anyone what she helped me through and how she changed me, how we fought our demons together and we thought we were invincible. And then we divorced.
But I want her back. I need her back. Demi is everything to me and Eiza can't even compare. And it's not just because she's pregnant with my baby. Demi has always been it. She's all that I'll ever want and I don't know how to communicate that to her because I'm terrified of going through a divorce again. I'm terrified of how the media is gonna perceive it and how they're gonna treat Demi and how this is all gonna affect my daughter. It makes me wish we weren't famous, but then we'd need a time machine.
Seeing Demi in the hospital terrified me. Before Gabi, before we even got married, Demi had been pregnant while she was on her world tour. Her doctor told her that it was okay for her to keep touring as long as she took care of herself but the stress from touring and promoting her album and the media and everything else came weighing down on her and she lost the baby. Our first child. And we didn't tell anyone about it. It was easier that way but hard as well because we had to come up with an explanation as to why Demi was suddenly quitting her tour and going on a hiatus. That's why when Gabi called me screaming about Demi bleeding and nearly dying, I freaked out, but I had to be strong for my daughter.
My poor Gabi. We've put her through so much in her little 12 years of life, I feel like we owe her an apology for it all. But she's a little trooper. She gets it from her mother.
There was a knock on the door and I quickly answered it to avoid Demi and Gabi waking up, but I wished that I hadn't.
Gabi POV
Hospital beds are not comfortable at all. People come to hospitals to get better but how are they supposed to get better when they have to sleep on these lumpy mattresses? And the pillows are so cheap and the covers are so thin. I can't believe they take care of people here. If I was a patient here I'd complain about it but I guess some people have different priorities.
I wish I could've stayed asleep but I wasn't comfortable so my little nap was only about fifteen minutes. Mom was still asleep though. I checked her heart monitor and it was still steadily going which meant that she wasn't gonna die anytime soon, thank God. But dad wasn't in the room anymore. Maybe he want to get something to eat.
I heard voices in the hallway so I stood up to close the door. I didn't want them to wake my mom up. She really deserved some rest since the baby was obviously exhausting her. My little brother or sister isn't even here yet and they're already causing issues!
"Wilmer, you've been gone for days and ignoring my phone calls! I had to find out from the damn paparazzi that you're holed up at the hospital with your ex wife! Are you fucking serious?" Oh that was Eiza. She must've been talking to my dad. Mom always told me it's rude to eavesdrop but I think I have a right to in this situation.
"Eiza, Demi is in the hospital. We still have a daughter to take care of, I couldn't just leave her alone," dad said. Oh yeah, he totally came for me. Not. We all know the real reason why you came dad, no need to use me as a cover up.
