Chapter Twelve
DEMI'S POV
So today while Naya and Lea are away shopping or something Dianna and I are going to out at ours today. A couple of days ago it came to our attentions that the two of us never really spend any time together just the two of us we always have our half's with us so we decided that was what we are going to do today. I'm lounging on the couch wearing sweat and a thin strapped vest top when there was knock on the door followed by it opening Di shouting it was just her but I was expecting it to be her. Smiling she walked over kissing my check before going to the kitchen putting the ice-cream in the fridge we ran out and a pregnant woman should never be without ice-cream, ever.
"What was the aim here?" She asked sitting beside me looking at the coffee table looking at the various colours of nail varnish.
"Uh paint my toes." I pouted.
"How'd that work for you, honey?" She asked with a smirk.
"I can't fucking reach." I huffed making her laugh. Still grinning like an idiot Di got up and turned on some music before picking up the colours one at a time till we came to one that I like. Silently she picked my feet up placing them on her lap before she started painting my nails.
I don't how long it's been since I've done this with anyone sometimes I kinda miss doing these things but I wouldn't trade a thing in my life, but then I've never known any different really I was seven when I got my first acting gig and the was barney. Even though being in the spot light got me into some pretty crazy things and for a while fucked with my head there still isn't anything in this world I would change my life for.
One thing I am going to do today is getting to know Dianna better sure we see each other every week and we are like best friends we still don't know all that much about each other apart from what the magazines say. I'm more interested in the part she doesn't let the whole world see. Like the other day I did this video called The Real Me. All it is really is me saying despite what people see I don't just wake up looking perfect I still have to put up with hair and make-up, I still get nervous before doing shows the way I see it if you don't get nervous you don't care and if you don't care then you don't deserve to be doing this job. Oh yeah I said like despite what you see I'm still a person I still struggle with things and cry movies and is scared of things like needles and spiders god I hate those little things.
"So tell me Dianna I've got Lea's side of the story of you two getting together and falling in love but I want to know your side." I asked grinning, although the base line of the story is the same every person always has something different to add on how they feel in love after all a couple is two different people.
"Well I think it all started for me is when we were living together as roommates. Okay no that's a lie when we first meet we did nothing but flirt. Then we become roommates and one night I came home after dinner with my little brother Jason and there was a first audition of my favourite book 'Alice through the looking glass' on my bed and from then well I've been a little like a love sick puppy." She said with this sparkle in her eyes that I have notice is reserved just for Lea. "What about you Lea and I obviously watched you both on Ellen so we know that story but when did you know you were in love with Nay?"
"When we went home to my parent's house everyone was out I think Naya was in bed I was up for a glass of juice and mom decided to confront me on the whole Nay thing cause the night before I may or may not have got caught staring at her boobs in my own little world. Anyway the next day momma and I were alone and well she called me on it and she said to me and quote 'Baby if you think you love Naya then you never really were in love with Wilmer in the first place.' Then we went to our rooms well I did and I was leaning against the door frame watching her sleep she was cuddled up looking so cute and momma came up behind me to say night and I turned to her and said 'Momma I don't think I know I love her'."
Telling Dianna about that night is making me smile standing there watching her cuddled up and I looked at her and I knew I don't know how I did but I did. Leaning against the door frame and she was doing this thing in her sleep that's just so cute she rubs her cheek on the pillow the one I had replaced my body with and she pulled it closer, tighter and rubbed her nose against it. That was the moment I knew right then I thought out of now where 'I fucking love her' surprising myself so I took a moment to think about it just as mamma came up and kissed my check and that's when I said to her 'Momma I don't think I know I love her'.
Smiling Dianna looked at me after placing the varnish on the table now that she is finished.
"We have pretty amazing women don't we." Dianna said like she was boasting about them to the world.
"Fucking amazing women." I replied. "You know I went to my lawyer the other week just updating a few things and I realized her name can't legally go on the birth certificate and Wilmer's sure as hell isn't going on it he's signed his rights away so I got adoption papers drawn up, I talked it over with my lawyer and everything first and he thought it was a good idea. If Nay signs them then we will both be the twin's legal parents. If anything every happens to me I want them to stay with her because she is there mommy and I don't want anything or anyone to have any chance to take them away from her."
"You know for a 21 year old you are a very wise person. Honestly I think she will love it. If ain't talking about you then it's the twins if not the four of you. I've never seen her like this before, you know when she speaks about you she has this smile and a look in her eyes that only ever appears when she I speaking about you or the twins. You do the same."
"I do?" I asked smiling only for Dianna to nod yes. "You know you and Lea do the same thing."
"Bloody hell we're all whipped." She commented making us laugh.
Anyway it was like half eleven in the morning when Dianna arrive so it was pretty near lunch and none of us really want to cook so she has nipped down to the little place about ten minutes away to go and get the four of us lunch since our better halves should be here soon. When she came back she had grabbed the mail for me but you know pregnant and hungry mail could wait I shall open it once I've feed us. We ate in silence but it was a comfortable one then after while Di nipped to the bathroom I opened the mail when I came across one from my doctor, some DVD and a note.
"What's that?" Dianna asked sitting down beside me again.
"A DVD and a note from my doctor it just says I have to watch to prepare myself since she knows I've never seen it before but she isn't telling me what because she know that I won't watch it then,"
Shrugging Dianna tells me we should watch since the doctor obviously thinks that its important so struggled a little to get up but she took pity on me and popped it in the DVD player for me. At first it was like a home movie of this couple who were having a baby, just things like them getting the nursery ready and shopping and craving and her the lady describing each stage of the pregnancy. Then it happed and she went into labour and you know there is a damn good reason I've never watched anyone give birth even on the telly because it makes me feel sick and it scares me.
We got to the part just before the baby comes out and I was hoping the camera would stay at head height since I don't ever need to see this. I'm already gagging then the baby appears and we get to see the whole fucking thing but as soon as the baby pops out that's enough for me I have to all but run to the bathroom. Dianna an awesome friend that she is was there in seconds holding my hair back for me while rubbing circles on me. I never even heard the door open but the next thing I know I hear Naya's voice just as I flush and lean my head on the could surface of the cupboards under the sink as Nay crouches down in front of me Di holding Lea against her side.
"Are you okay darling?" She asked reaching out tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.
"That's disgusting you know I like the Dumbo version of how babies come into the world I never ever want to see that again. We just watched some lady give birth my doctor sent me a DVD to prepare since she knew wouldn't watch it so we did. Nay it was horrible and gross and now I'm traumatized." I said wide eyed. I will never ever un-see that ever.
Naya just leans in and kisses my check and pulls me into a cuddle laugh if you like but you ain't the one who has to do that. My momma should get a medal, she did that three times. Once I had gathered myself together I cleaned my teeth I joined everyone in the living room sitting next to my girl. Naya smiled at me before leaning and a kissing me smiling against my lips before I whispered hi against hers to which she whispered hi back against mine.
By the time that I had come back through from the bathroom someone had turned the TV so the DVD was no longer playing thankfully. Lea and Dianna stayed till about eight where we did as many girly things as possible like doing each other's hair and facemasks things like. Once they left Naya and I lay on the couch for a while and cuddled before we headed to bed and snuggled up there.
(A FEW DAYS LATER SUNDAY NIGHT)
So tonight is the results for the finals of the x-factor to which I get to perform a song on stage and normally I would sing one of my own songs but tonight I want to do something more special for Naya so I am singing a cover of a song that already means so much to me. As usual before the show before we are already we are all hanging in the green area including Naya, I gotta say though my girl looks more nervous than I do.
"Hey guys there is a blank space here I thought there was going to be a guest performance so why isn't is on the schedule?" I asked looking though said schedule so that I could double check what time I was performing at and right after where there should be another it's a smiley face.
"There is." Simon adds simply not even bothering looking up from his cell phone.
"Well can someone tell me?" I asked them looking at them all to see the other three judges with smiles on their faces and Naya looks like she is about to get caught with her hands in the cookie jar. Which brings me to the question what in the hell is going on here.
"What are you guys up to?" I asked but I was interrupted by someone telling me that my family had arrive they always come to see my finale show and this time since I ain't coming back it is my final show.
Smiling I got up with the help of Naya, I got six weeks left and I'm carrying twins so I don't have the smallest of bumps. As soon as I was on my feet Maddie tried her hardest to give Naya and I a cuddle at the same time so we sandwiched her in the middle of us then when she let go we said hi to everyone else before I introduced them to everyone. Then I noticed while Kelly, Paulina and I were playing with Mads that My Momma, Eddie and Dallas were talking quietly with Naya.
"Can someone please tell me what in the hell is going on here?" I asked getting annoyed, my little outburst causing everyone to turn and look at me.
"Stop being so nosy Demetria and watch your language around your sister." My momma scolded me, you ain't ever too old to get a telling off from your Momma.
"You all are annoying me." I huffed as Naya came over and sat beside me kissing my check.
"Aww come on baby don't be like that." She said after kissing my cheek.
"Nope I'm mad at you all." I said unimpressed.
"I haven't done anything." Maddie said pouting so I leaned over the best I could and kissed her cheek tapping the tip of her nose. "Everyone bar you." I added. "But to make it up to me one of you can baby sit while I teach Naya how to surf I miss surfing."
Unfortunately we never got to finish out conversation because it was time for us to go and for Naya and my family to go and take their seats. Whatever the hell they are planning if they embarrass me well there shall be trouble. When it was time for me to go back stage and get ready Naya was already there waiting for me leaning against something.
"Hey baby what are you doing here?" I asked looping my earpieces over my ears so I could pop them in.
"I wanted to say good luck and give you a good luck kiss before you went on." She said smiling wrapping her arms around my waist as I wrapped mine around her neck being careful not to smack her on the head with the microphone. "You'll be amazing, we will meet you in your dressing room after the show…Love you darling." Naya added before pulling me into a chaste passionate kiss.
"I love you too." I replied before we let go of each other so she could sit down before I started.
A couple of minutes later I was in position to go onto stage then when the called my name announcing me I carefully walked in to the stage that was covered in smoke from dry ice and lit candles with a background of a sunset. Smiling I waved as I headed straight for the mic on the stand in the front and centre of the stage and smiled at Naya when our eyes caught, then I was asked how I was feeling and a little talk before I was asked what I was singing and if it was a cover.
"Yeah it's a cover of a song that means a lot to me, well it's a special song it was just something I wanted to do a special song for a special person since it's my last show tonight." I said grinning my hand running over my bump.
"Who might I ask is this special person, it's not Simon is it?" the presenter asks.
"As much as I love Simon no this song is for my beautiful girlfriend Naya Rivera, who is here tonight with my family." I replied then he finally announced that I was going to be singing Gravity by Sara Bareilles, Naya and I's song in away apart from here comes the sun.
Finally the music started so I took a deep breath and found Naya in the crowed locking our eyes together as I began to sing.
"Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here
'till the moment I'm gone.
You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown
In your love and not feel your reign.
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall
Another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm
Supposed to be.
But you're onto me and all over me.
You love me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my
Fragile strength is gone
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall
Another moment into you're gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm
Supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.
I live here on my knees as I try to make you see
That you're everything I think I need here on the ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't
Seem to let you go
The one thing that I still know is that you're
Keeping me down
You're keeping me down, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're onto me, on to me and all over…
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long."
When I finish singing everyone is standing and clapping when I notice Naya smiling dapping tears away from under her eyes with a tissue Kelly had given her. That's when I notice momma, Eddie, Kelly, Paulina are crying even Simon has a tear rolling down his cheek. The presenter goes over and asks Simon what he thinks and he says I look beautiful and that was the best performance and version of that song he has ever seen.
We go to a break next which gives me time to go give Naya a quick kiss before joining the others at the judges table where they all give me a cuddle telling me how well I did. What happened next well it was the second best surprise of my life, the twins were a surprise and as a mom I have to say they are the best surprise. I never even noticed that Naya had left her seat to you can imagine the surprise on my face when she came on the stage singing Here Comes The Sun with Lean and Dianna as back-up singers.
That ain't even the best part no the best part was when they started singing Jason Derulo 'Marry me'. Just at the last verse Lea and Dianna came around helping me standing bringing be to stand behind my chair as Naya began to make her way over to me. Then before I knew what was happening on the third last line Simon handed Naya a box which she opened then on the last line got down on one knee holding the ring out. Gasping I covering my mouth with my hands my eyes watering and then she asked me and I swear to god you could hear a pin drop in this place.
"Demetria Devonne Lovato will you marry me?" She asked.
"Yes!" I said happily as she stood up and slid the ring on my finger before pulling me into a cuddle.
So after they show I discovered that everyone knew but me Naya had even asked Eddie for permission and my mom and well all my sisters.
Fucking Hell I'm getting married to the girl of my dreams and I couldn't be happier.
