Chapter 13

Okay, you guys are on in 2 minutes!" One of the producers on the Ellen Show said and nodded in Demi and Simons direction.
"You ready baby?" Simon whispered in Demi's ear as he gave her a small hug.
"Yes, let's do this!" She smiled up at him.
"You look amazing Demi" Simon said and looked her up and down. Demi was wearing a black bodycon dress that showed off her cute little baby bump. She wanted it to show, she wanted to show the world she was pregnant, and this time on her own terms.

"And now we welcome Simon Cowell and his fiancée Demi Lovato" Ellen announced making the audience go mad as the couple walked in hand in hand.
They both hugged Ellen before sitting down on the couch opposite of here.
"Now Ellen before we start this, I would like to make a little correction if that's okay?" Simon said and looked over at Ellen.
"Sure, go ahead!" Ellen said and nodded her head, wondering what he had to correct.
"Well" Simon cleared his throat before smiling secretively.
"Just tell them" Demi giggled and nudged him in the side with her elbow.
"This beautiful woman sitting next to me is not my fiancée" He started, the audience holding their breath waiting for him to continue. "She is my wife, Demetria Lovato-Cowell!" Simon announced making Ellen drop her mouth wide open and the audience to stand up clapping and cheering like crazy people.

Simon wrapped his arm around Demi who held up her hand to show her engagement ring and her golden wedding ring on the same finger. Simon looked at her and chuckled before holding up his hand too.
"Wow!" Ellen said looking at the happy couple. "Now when did all of this happen?"
"Two weeks ago, in the Bahamas" Demi replied with a smile.
"Just the two of you?" Ellen asked
"Yes, just the two of us. Just like we wanted" Demi said and moved a little closer to Simon. It felt so good to be able to show their love to the world. No more secrets and hiding now. She was with the man she loved, everyone finally knew about them and she couldn't be more proud of her marriage.
"But what happened to the big white wedding that we could read about in your Peoples Magazine interview?" Ellen continued.
"We realized that a big wedding wasn't what we wanted. We wanted it to be just us on the beach in the sunset. And that's what we did, it was perfect." Simon placed a kiss on Demi's cheek making her blush and bite her lip.
"Awwwwwwnn" The audience said and clapped again.

"That really sounds beautiful!" Ellen said and looked over at Demi. "So, you made the decision together, to cancel the wedding and elope?"
"Well" Demi started. "I wanted the big wedding at first, but then I realized how much work it would be and how much stress it would put on me and…" She hesitated a little. "…and the baby" The audience broke out in cheers again making Demi place her hands on her belly and look up at them with a smile. Simon put his hand on top of hers with a big proud smile on his face. He was a very proud daddy to be.
"Yes! We have to talk about that!" Ellen said "Demi you're pregnant! How did that happen?"
"Yes, I sure am! And I think we all know how that happened…" Demi said and giggle, making Ellen and Simon laugh too.
"Yes, I don't think we need to investigate that any further." Simon added and winked at Ellen.

"So how far along are you Demi?" Ellen asked
"Tomorrow I will be exactly 18 weeks pregnant" Demi replied caressing her bump.
"Oh wow! Congratulations! Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?" Ellen asked.
"No not yet, but I think we'll find out at our next doctor's appointment, right babe?" Simon said looking at Demi.
"Well we haven't really discussed that, but I think we will?" Demi asked him.
"Yes, yes we will. "Simon said looking up at Ellen.
"Well now we got that sorted, on live TV" Ellen joked.
"Well we do lead a very public life!" Simon chuckled.
"Yes, and about that. Demi, you were spotted by paparazzi at the grocery store at 5am on Monday morning. Do you want to talk about that?" Ellen asked her.
"Hmm... I was going out to get some food. Cravings you know! All you pregnant ladies out there know what I mean right?" Demi said and looked out at the audience that had a couple of pregnant women who nodded in agreement. "And unfortunately, the paparazzi decided to show up, take pictures and spread our secret to the world before we had the chance to." Demi felt her eyes tear up a little as she talked about it. She was still upset that she wasn't the one breaking the news about her baby to the world.
Simon saw her tears and wrapped his arm tighter around her, rubbing her side with his thumb.
Demi quickly wiped her eyes and looked up at Ellen "Sorry, it's the hormones" She giggled as a small tear trickled down her cheek. "Again, I know all you pregnant women out there know what I'm talking about!"
"And all the husbands and partners to those pregnant ladies!" Simon added, making the audience and Ellen laugh. Demi giggled and poked her tongue out at her husband who mirrored her actions.
"Very mature!" Ellen said making the couple burst into a fit of giggles.

"So, we asked people to post their questions for you on twitter, do you mid answering some of them?" Ellen asked
"Sure, go ahead!" Simon smiled.
"Right, the first one is for you Demi: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"
"Well, I hope to have released a couple of more albums, still working on my music and touring, I'm never giving up music! And this little one" She said and pointed at her belly "Will be an energetic five-year-old and maybe I'll have a toddler on my hip and another baby on the way" She giggled. "Oh, and my husband by my side of course!" She leaned her head against Simons shoulder.
"So you want a big family?" Ellen asked.
"Yes, yes I do. I've always wanted to be a wife and a mother. And now my dreams are coming true!" Tears started to form in her eyes as she spoke.
"And now the waterworks are on again" Simon chuckled and kissed Demi's forehead.
"Sorry!" Demi mouthed and buried her face in his chest for a quick second before looking up with a smile on her face again. "Hormones" she said.

"We know." Ellen winked at her. "Well this leads me to the next question, it's for you Simon: We didn't even think you wanted children Simon, when did you change your mind?"
"Right, no I wasn't sure if I wanted children. But all of that changed when I fell in love with this one" He looked over at Demi. "And I can honestly say that the day she told me she was pregnant was one of the best days of my life" He was the one getting a little teary eyed now.
"One of the best days?" Ellen asked.
"Well t's up there with the day she said yes to my proposal and the day we got married!" Simon smiled.
"Aww" Demi said and the audience aww wed together with her.

"Okay, that's sweet" Ellen said. "Moving on. Next question, oh wow this is pretty straight forward: Demi did you marry Simon because he got you knocked up?"
"I knew this question would come" Simon mumble.
"Oh, no, no. That's not the reason at all. We actually got engaged before I found out I was pregnant." Demi said. "I married Simon because I love him." She smiled putting her hand on Simon's leg, rubbing it lightly.
"And the same goes for me!" Simon said and kissed her nose. This couple wasn't afraid to show a lot of affection on TV that's for sure Ellen thought, or maybe they were just so in love that they couldn't keep their hands off each other.

"That's what I thought, now over to the last question, this one is for Simon: Simon, don't you think you're a little too old to become a dad at 53?"
Simon felt his throat tighten, oh no not that question. Please! He closed his eyes, thinking for a second. This had been on his mind for quite some time now, what if he was too old to be a good father? What if he wouldn't be able to play with his children the way a dad was supposed to? What if they would be ashamed of him when they got older? He would get older too. He would get old and die before they had a chance to grow up and start their own families. He would die and leave Demi and their children behind! Demi's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"No, he's not too old. He's perfect. And He is going to be and amazing dad, not only to this baby but to the rest of the children we will have together too!" Demi said in a confidence voice. She knew that this subject was sensitive for Simon. But she really was convinced he would be an amazing father. She just wished that he wouldn't worry so much about it.
Simon looked up at Demi who gave him a small nod as if to say that she was telling the truth, and Simon knew she was right. He wasn't too old. He would do his very best to be a great dad for their child. He would do his best for their baby and for Demi.
"Demi is right, I'm not too old. I am a man in my best years and I couldn't be more ready to become a dad!" Simon smiled, first at Ellen, then at the audience before finally smiling at Demi. He leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her lips making the audience go `aww' for the millionth time that day.
"And that's where we have to end this interview!" Ellen said and stood up. "Thank you so much for coming on my show Demi and Simon!" She said and hugged them both.
"Thank you so much for having us Ellen!" Demi smiled.
"Thank you!" Simon said.
"One more time, give it up for Mr. and Mrs. Cowell!" Ellen said as they walked out.
