Did you forget?

Chapter Seventeen

Demi's POV

---

Looking at Wilmer, his face was soaked with sorrow and he took the car keys from his pocket and walked slowly towards the door. "I'll see you at home." 

Tears cascaded down my face, I felt so ashamed for everything that has happened, it was all my fault. "Nick...I don't under-" 

"Of course you don't, you were fucked up on some shit and took advantage of me while I was drunk." 

"Sorry..." I whispered. 

"Sorry doesn't cut it Demi, because of it you have a child that has half of my genes and has all this time been raised by some other man." 

"Wilmer has been treating her right."

"Don't give me that bullshit, she has told me things that you don't want her to expose about your marriage." Nick spat, he rarely gets mad and when he does, it's serious. 

I kept silent, panic was setting in my mind, and I was at a loss, I had no idea what to do. 

"I don't think you understand how serious this is Demi." 

"I do Nick." 

"No you don't, this affects my relationship with Olivia, this affects the way Luna will see me and Wilmer, how she will see you, how your family will see her!" 

"Shut up Nick, let me breathe for a second." I seethed. 

After several moments of silence I opened my mouth. "Luna is not to know about any of this." 

"Wha-why?" Nick's eyes widened. 

"Because she is six years old, we'll sit her down and talk to her about it when she's eight." 

"So in two years time? what difference does it make between now and then." 

"It gives me time to think of a way to slowly intro-" 

"Oh so yeah, its all about you Demi isn't it, you're being absolutely selfish." 

Nick was right, I begged Wilmer to marry me before anything got suspicious, I drugged myself to forget everything and now Wilmer has been raising a child that was not his own, I love him so much, I couldn't think to lose him. I can't.

"We should just keep living our lives like how it is now." I mumbled, still confused as what to do. 

"Are you out of your mind? It seems to me that the DNA results and your pregnancy announcement has completely left your mind. No I'm going to tell you what's going to happen, I'm going to propose Olivia and tell her about Luna, as her biological father, I want to start seeing her more often."

I carried a sleeping Luna out from the back seat with me and thanked Nick and Olivia for driving me home, not that she really had a choice. 

"Remember what I said Dems, I mean it." 

I nodded and they drove off. 

As soon as I entered the house, Wilmer was sitting on the couch and his head snapped up when he heard my footsteps and he began to walk towards. 

Involuntarily, tears began to accumulate and eventually fall down my face, he embraces me and strokes my hair as I sob hysterically. "I'm really sorry, so sorry Wilmer, I never meant for any of this to happen." 

"It's okay baby." 

Shocked by his unpredictable reaction, I questioned him stupidity, "Yes, it is. What's done is done, our family is expanding but we will finally have a child together." He kisses my head. 

I chuckled and smiled like an idiot, despite my selfishness and self-gained motives in the past, my husband still loves me and continues to do so. Am I naive to think the way I do? I want him by my side forever.

Wilmer's POV

---

I stared at my wife's sleeping face, away from all the drama. Despite being upset about discovering Luna's biological father, a baby is on the way, Demi and I; I couldn't care less about anything else. 

Demi's eyes begin to open and when our eyes met, she leaned forward and pecked my lips then immediately began to sit up. 

"Whoa whoa mi amor where are you going?" I gently placed my hand on her arm, indicating for her to lie back down. 

"I need to wake Luna up." she makes her way down the hall and in seconds comes back with a tired Luna who was rubbing the sleep from her eyes. 

When Demi settles herself back on the bed and pats the space next to her, Luna instinctively jumps onto her, roughly landing on Demi's stomach. 

"Don't do that!" I quickly shouted and Luna turned to look at me confused and upset, I quickly loosened up. 

"It's okay Wilmer." she gives me a small smile. 

"What's wrong mama, are you hurt?" 

"No, Daddy and I have to tell you something." 

"Okay..." she replies slowly. 

Demi looks at me, waiting for my approval to tell her about the news and I nod. 

"Well monkey, you're going to be a big sister soon." 

Demi's smile was a nervous one, and we both did not know how Luna is taking the news. 

Luna frowns and gets off Demi's lap and looks at her stomach, "where's the baby?" 

"In here silly." she points to her stomach. 

"Oh..."

"Are you excited?" 

"Yeah mama...but I will always be your favourite!" 

"Yes Luna."
