Chapter 14

"What do you mean you bought a house?" Demi shouted in Simon's face.
"I bought us a house, why are you screaming at me I thought you'd be happy!" Simon asked confused with his hands-on Demi's shoulders trying to calm his wife down.
"You can't just buy a fucking house without talking to me first! We're married Simon we do things TOGETHER now" Demi hissed and moved out of his grip. "Jesus Christ, you don't just go buy a bloody house like that!"
"Demi stop! It's just a house!" Simon said calmly.
"Just a house? How much did it cost?" She sneered, removing his hands from her again. She really didn't want his touch at that moment.
"$13,000,000" Simon muttered not looking at his wife, he knew she wouldn't be impressed with the price.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" She spat and looked up at him with wide eyes. "You can buy a whole bloody country for that money!"
"Please don't shout at me Dem! I did it for you, for our family! I said I'd spoil you!" Simon was starting to get frustrated now. He thought she'd be happy that he'd bought her a house!

"Exactly, we're a family now and we should be making these kinds of decisions together! Especially when it involves such big amounts of money Simon" Demi threw her hands out, she really was upset with her husband.
"Please Demi" Simon snorted "You know that $13M is nothing in my world" It was true, he had money, tons of money, and if he wanted to buy his wife a house he would. He'd buy her the world if he could.
"In YOUR world? Well I'm a part of that world now! Or I thought I was" Demi shouted. "And I don't WANT you to buy a fucking house without asking me!" Demi felt a sharp pain in her lower stomach as she screamed at him and she grabbed a hold of the kitchen island to steady herself a little, ignoring the pain.
"Well it's just money, I have lots of it and I can buy you anything if I want. Isn't that what you want? It's what everyone wants!" Simon was shouting too.

Demi couldn't believe that he just said that, had she not managed to make it clear to him that money was the last thing she was thinking about? She didn't want him for his money. She couldn't care less about it. It hurt her knowing that Simon thought that she was just like everyone else. They only wanted his money, but she didn't, she only wanted him.
"I can't believe you just said that. I'm not everyone else and you know that! I don't care about your fucking money! I have more than enough on my own! I only care about you! Don't you see that? This is not about your fucking money. It's about being a family and trusting each other. And not just going off buying a bloody..." Demi's shouting was interrupted by the sharp pain in her stomach again. "I- I ahhh" Demi moaned and rubbed her belly.
Simon rushed to her side and grabbed her shoulders making her look at him. "What is wrong love?" Simon asked worried.
"It's- I don't know- my belly... ahhhhh" She cried and sat down on a chair clutching her stomach.
Simon was right next to her kneeling on the floor, caressing her belly with one hand and grabbing his phone with the other to call her doctor.

"Shhhh it's going to be okay love" He whispered and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as he waited for someone to pick up. "Oh, just pick up for heaven's sake" he groaned into the phone. His wife was in pain and he was worried that something was wrong with the baby. Why did they take so long to pick up?
"What I-if something is wrong with the b-baby?" Demi sobbed and hugged her bump tighter, praying to God that her baby was fine.
"Calm down love it's going to be okay" Simon hushed her and wrapped his arms around her.
"I can't it h-hurts" she cried and clung to him.

Dr. Jennings finally picked up the phone and told them to hurry up and come in to the clinic so she could have a look at Demi and the baby.
Simon helped Demi get into the car and they speeded off, probably breaking every traffic law possible on their way there.
Demi was crying hard when they arrived, her stomach was still cramping, she was in pain and she was scared. Simon helped her into a room where Dr Jennings greeted them.
"Come lay down her Demi and tell me what happened" She said and helped Demi lay down on the bed.
"We- we were arguing and then it-it started to hurt really bad. M-my belly" Demi sobbed.
"Right, now just try to calm down, take deep breaths." Dr Jennings rubbed Demi's shoulder trying to help her relax. "I'm going to have a look at your baby. I can almost promise you that everything is fine!" She said in a calm voice. She had seen this before. Women who got bad cramps when they were upset, but as soon as they calmed down the cramps slowly went away.
"See, your baby is fine" Dr Jennings said a moment later as she moved the device over Demi's belly. "Mommy and daddy can calm down now" She smiled and looked up at the couple.
Simon was sitting next to Demi on the bed holding both her hands, she was still crying but her breathing was slowly getting back to normal.
"The baby is fine, it's growing and it's happy and healthy." Dr Jennings said.
"Our baby!" Demi smiled through her tears as she looked at the screen that showed her cantaloupe melon sized little baby. "Simon look" She smiled up at her husband.
Simon also had a big grin on his face, there it was, their baby.

"Now Demi" Dr Jennings started. "It is normal to experience what you just did, when you get upset and angry it's very common to get cramps in your belly, but as soon as you start to calm down, the cramps slowly go away. Just like now." She smiled. "Do you still feel pain?"
"Oh... no…not more than I usually do. I feel fine now" Demi said relieved. She had completely forgotten about the pain when her baby had showed up on the screen in front of her. And now the pain was almost gone.
"Having said that though, it is not good if it starts happening often. You need to calm down and try not to get yourself too worked up about things." Dr Jennings looked over at Simon. "And you need to help her with that Mr. Cowell."

Simon nodded and wrapped his arm around Demi, pulling her back against his chest. "I'm so sorry love" He whispered in her hair. "I'm sorry that I upset you, and I promise I will take better care of you"
Demi turned her head and looked up at him, placing a soft kiss on his lips. "It's okay. And I'm sorry too" She whispered with her forehead pressed against his.
Simon smiled a little and kissed her nose. "We'll talk about the house more when we get home, okay?" He asked. Demi nodded in response. They'd talk about it, and go and look at the house. Maybe it wasn't so bad after all?

"Now since you're already here." Dr Jennings interrupted them "Maybe you want to know the gender of your baby?"
"Oh, my God yes!" Demi exclaimed. She was already 20 weeks pregnant and she couldn't wait to find out.
"Yes please!" Simon added grabbing Demi's hands again. He didn't know why but he was so nervous!
The doctor once again put the ultrasound device on Demi's belly and the picture of the baby appeared on the screen.
"Well, there is a perfectly healthy baby girl growing in your belly. A baby girl" Dr Jennings announced.
"We're having a girl Simon!" Demi smiled and kissed her husband.
"Yes, we do my love" Simon smiled. He was so happy. He really couldn't wait for his daughter to come out now. He would protect her with his life and spoil her rotten, just like he did for her momma.
"Can we have a picture of the ultra sound scan please?" Demi asked. "I want to frame it".
"Of course, you can" Dr Jennings smiled. "Now everything looks fine, both mommy and baby are healthy. You just need to calm down and not stress so much Demi, it's not good for either of you!"
"I will, I promise." Demi stood up and pulled her shirt down to cover her bump.
"Good now that is all for now." Dr Jennings showed them out and they said their goodbyes.

Once they got in the car they just sat there for a couple of minutes, holding each other. Trying to calm down and take in everything that had happened in the past hour. They had both gotten really scared and worried. Demi was sensitive and they both had to work on handling her anger outbursts and breakdowns. But for now, they couldn't be happier that Demi and their daughter were fine.

Together they agreed that it was stupid of Simon to just go and buy them a 13 million house like that, he said that he was sorry and from now on they would make all big decisions together. It was a big change for Simon, he was used to being on his own and making his own decisions without having to consult anyone. But he was more than happy to change that for Demi.
He suggested that they drive over to the house straight away and have a look at it, Demi didn't want to admit it but she was actually a little excited. If the house what that expensive it had to be amazing!
"If I like it, we'll keep it. And if I don't, you'll sell it. Deal?" Demi said and looked up at her husband.
"Deal" Simon smiled and kissed her lips. Right now, he'd agree on pretty much anything, as long as Demi was happy and healthy.

Demi gasped as they pulled up in front of the big white house in Beverly Hills. "Oh, my god Simon this is huge!" She said as she stepped out of the car.
They walked in through the front door and were greeted by a big entrance hall. They continued to look through the house, it was big and light and airy but still had kind of a homey feel to it. The kitchen was amazing, and Demi thought that she'd definitely have to learn to cook now.
When they reached the master bedroom Demi was already in love, it was perfect and she could see herself and Simon waking up there for many years to come. She continued the tour of the house, trying to keep a straight face for Simon. She didn't want him to know that she loved it just yet.
They reached the garden, it was big enough for children to play in it, it had beautiful roses and fruit trees and a big swimming pool and a bit further down in the garden there was a Jacuzzi under the open sky. It was perfect, absolutely perfect.
"Simon" Demi said and turned around to look at her husband.
"Yes love?" Simon asked with a small smile on his face. He could already sense what she was going to say. She had been trying to hide it but her little gasps and squeals had given her away. He knew she liked it.
"I love it!" She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "When can we move in?" She whispered and pressed her lips against his.
Simon smiled into the kiss and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer, as close as her baby bump would let him. "Whenever you want babe, it ours" He murmured against her lips. Dads
