CHAPTER 41- Divorce

Wilmer's POV

"I want a divorce."

I felt my heart stop. Literally I felt like I couldn't breath, my entire heart had been ripped out of my chest at that sentence.

"No. Please baby don't do this I can explain everything."

Demi shook her head and turned on her heel, walking out of the police station while I followed her like a lost puppy.

"Demi don't do this-"

Demi got into a waiting black car and I slid in next to her.

"Baby-"

"WILMER JUST STOP. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT."

I shook my head, "Well you have to. Because we are not getting a divorce Demi I can explain everything if you'd just give me a chance."

Demi looked up at me, "Wilmer I can't keep doing this. It's too much. I think it's best if we distance ourselves from each other."

I shook my head, and all of a sudden the tears were flowing down my face as I broke down in the car. Demi inhaled sharply, and her hand touched my back.

"Demi she's not my daughter."

My wife's eyes widened, "What?"

I nodded eagerly now as she listened, "Maria is a con artist. She was trying to get money from me to pay ten thousand dollars for her 'daughter's' tuition. The cops came in and arrested her as I was about to write the check. I'm not the father baby."

Demi blinked, "YOU WERE ABOUT TO GIVE THEM TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!"

I looked at her incrediously, "That's all you got from what I said?! Demi I'm not the father. We're fine."

She shook her head and buried her head into her hands, "Wilmer we're not fine at all. I think you and I both know that."

I grabbed her hand, "Don't say that Demi. I'll do anything. I'll sleep on the couch, I'll cook you breakfast every morning and kiss you and tell you how beautiful you are. I'll pick up my dirty socks off of the floor but just please don't do this I don't want to get a divorce."

Demi sighed, her breath ragged. "Wilmer it's not healthy for me. We have major deep rooted issues. I don't know if I can get past it."

I glanced at her wrists and slowly rolled her sleeves up, there were nail marks, deep and red. Evidence that she was stuggling a lot.

"Baby... I'm so sorry. Just pleast don't do this. Let me help you."

Demi took a deep breath, "I think we need a break... from marriage. We're hovering over each other too much I think we need to just take a step back and breath. We can still live at the house together, but we need to work things out. I need to talk to my therapist and figure out when it's best to do a couples session."

I nodded, "Anything. Baby I'm so sorry."

She smiled, but I could tell it was a little forced. "It's okay."

I sighed, "Since we're gonna go back home andpretend like we're not married do you think we could act like we are for a couple more minutes?"

Demi raised an eyebrow, "Do you really think that's smart?"

I moved closer to her and cupped her face in my hand, looking deep into her eyes.

"Then just give me one."

Our lips crashed together and she let out a soft moan. I pulled her over to straddle my lap and she wrapped her arms around my neck, kissing me passionately. I smiled into the kiss, knowing that she missed me a fraction of how much I missed her was gratifying. I felt her nibble on my bottom lip, then drag it out with her teeth. She always liked to do that, ever since we first started dating. My hands wandered down to her ass and kneaded it gently before gently rubbing her stomach as our passion slowed, leaning our foreheads together and trying to catch our breath.

"How's my baby doing." I murmured, kissing her neck and inhaling her scent of her skin.

"Good, I'm definitely pregnant too, I'm eight weeks along." Demi had a small smile on her face as she placed her hands over mine.

I kissed her softly again, "We're gonna have a baby sweetheart."

She sighed and nodded, "We gotta get our shit together."

Izzy was shocked to see me walk through the door with Demi when we got home.

"Baby it was all a mistake he doesn't have another daughter." Demi explained, and Izzy's face broke out in relief, walking over to hug me.

"Thank God." I kissed her forehead and she smiled nervously.

"Uhm this is bad timing... but Jake just asked me to hang out is it okay if I go?" I looked to Demi who nodded and smiled as Izzy walked out of the door.

"So, what did you do while I was gone?"

Demi shrugged, "Sat on the couch, stared out the window, cried alot. The usual."

I stared at her and she gave me a small smile as she sat on the couch, patting the spot next to her.

"I think we need to establish some ground rules."

I sat next to her and nodded, "Okay. Shoot."

Demi took a deep breath, "No kissing except for cheeks until I think we're there. Hugging is fine."

I could feel my heart splintering, but nodded anyway.

"No sleeping in the same bed." I opened my mouth to argue but she gave me a look. "No sex." I rolled my eyes, but nodded. I would do anything to keep Demi by my side.

"And, no one can know about this. In public we're polite and cordinal. We act like we're in love."

I smiled and touched her cheek, "I wouldn't be acting."

Demi's POV

I turned over in my bed with a huff. It was almost two in the morning and I couldn't sleep. The bed felt too big and empty. I looked over at Wilmer's side of the bed and felt tears running down my face. I missed him so much, and now I was being a total bitch. It was necessary, but I still didn't like it. With a sigh I got out of bed and walked into the spare bedroom across the hall where Wilmer was sleeping. I stood there for a moment, debating whether or not it was wise to curl up in his arms when all of a sudden Wilmer opened his eyes, squinting up at me.

"Demi? Are you okay?"

I looked at my feet, "I couldn't sleep... Can I stay here?"

Wilmer nodded without hesitation and opened his arms. I got under the covers and snuggled into his chest.

"You know since you're breaking the ground rules I think it's only fair I get to break one too." He murmured.

"I don't think that's how it works baby." I whispered back with a smile on my lips, but I scooted up and cupped his face in my hands, kissing him gently.

"That's all you're gonna get."
