"So, why didn't she just come here since she got out last night?" Kylie questioned as she watched her mother bustle around the spacious gourmet kitchen trying to put away all of the new items that had just been delivered to the house.
"You make it sound like she just got out of jail," Khloe chuckled as Kylie lightly shrugged her shoulders.
"Well she was only allowed to use her phone on the weekends, it might as well be," Kylie mumbled as Kris huffed.
"You know, you guys could help. She's supposed to be here any-"
"GUYS. LOOK WHO'S HERE!" Kim exclaimed as she walked into the kitchen with a nervous Demi trailing behind. All six sisters immediately engulfed Demi in a huge hug, causing her to giggle as they bombarded her with questions and "I missed you's" and a few kisses here and there.
"Okay, guys, let her breathe," Kris chuckled, and once they let her go Kris wrapped her arms around her and kissed her forehead. Demi felt herself relax into her touch and smiled and Kris squeezed her before letting her go. "I thought you weren't going to be here until later?"
"I was stalling...this place is beautiful. Thank you for doing this for me," Demi said, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear as Kris rubbed her back.
"It's no problem, sweetie. This is the only thing you asked for and you know I love doing stuff like this," Kris said as Demi nodded in appreciation.
"Um, we can take you around and give you the grand tour, just to make sure you like everything," Kim suggested once she noticed how teary-eyed Kris was. Demi nodded and then she was whisked away to tour the house as Kris used a spare tissue to dab at her eyes.
Six months ago, Demi had been rushed to the hospital at 2:40 in the morning, cramping and bleeding like she was on her period. Six months ago, they had all sat in the room when Demi woke up and had to listen to Dr. Crane explain to her that her body just couldn't handle the pregnancy and that's why she had miscarried. Six months ago, Kris had watched Demi break down until there was only a shell of herself left, blaming herself for the loss of her baby. At first, they had tried to tiptoe around her. They tried to give her time and space. They tried to make her as comfortable as possible. But Demi slipped deeper into depression every day until she attempted to down a bottle of pills and was rushed to the hospital again. Then, when they were at the hospital the nurse who was attending to her left the pills near her, and that's when she downed the rest of them then spat "you fucking bitch, if I just tried to kill myself why would you give me pills?" and that's when Kris knew that something much more serious was going on besides her just being upset about the miscarriage.
She stayed in the hospital while everyone tried to work out what was best for her. And she didn't want to go. Who actually wanted to go to treatment? Kris was going to give up until one night, after a visit from Dianna, she broke down in Trey's arms about how guilty she felt for basically killing their child and how it was all her fault and she didn't want to be like this anymore. Kris didn't know what Dianna had said to her that triggered Demi's breakdown but a few days later she was checking into CAST Recovery Center in Malibu and saying her goodbyes to everyone. And now, here she was, five months later, back at home and Kris had no idea how to handle the situation. There was so much that she did know how to handle, so much she did know to do, but dealing with someone who had just gotten out of rehab? Kris really felt lost.
