Chapter 5: Lilly Anne Jonas
(8 months later. Jocelyn is 8 months old)
It was September 7th and I was watching TV when suddenly the house phone rang. I picked it up and spoke. "Hello?" I said. "Demi! Come down to the hospital! Selena's pushing and she wants you here." Nick said. I smiled. It was time to become an aunt. I told Joe, we hopped in the car and headed to the hospital. When we got to Selena's room I peeked my head in and could tell that she was still going to have to wait awhile before she met her daughter. Nick waved from the side of Selena's bed. Joe left with Jocelyn and I looked at Nick again. "Can I come in?" I asked. Nick nodded and I walked in, kneeling by Selena's bedside. She smiled at me. "Push, she'll be born on this next one." The doctor said. Seconds later, a baby was lifted onto her chest.
I snuck out quietly and went to the family waiting room to tell Joe. He was reading a story to Jocelyn. She smiled and I picked her up. "Hey sweet girl!" I said. "Auntie Lena just had her baby. " I proclaimed, walking with Joe to Selena's room. When we got there, she was holding my new niece. "Hi guys!" she greeted. We walked in and I set Jocelyn down. "What's my new niece's name?" I asked. Selena smiled. "Lilly Anne Jonas." She replied. I sat down in a chair by Selena. Nick smiled. "I know we're not married yet, but we both agreed that Jonas fit better." He explained. Selena looked at me. "Thank you for being here while I pushed." She said.
