Demi

I sleepily unlocked the house Nicko and I had bought in New York, quietly shutting it behind me as I put Mia down in her crib. She was already asleep, so it was good there wouldn't be fussing. I tip-toed past his mom's room, then sneaked into the bedroom where Nicko was, cuddling a pillow adorably in his sleep. I smiled to myself, changed into pajamas, then climbed up next to him, pulling the pillow away which caused him to wake with a start.

"What's going on?"

I giggled and snuggled into his embrace, kissing his confused mouth, "Happy Father's Day baby."

His eyes popped open and all of a sudden his lips were hard against mine, kissing me longingly, "You're actually here."

I smiled, "I wouldn't miss it for the world."

His arms came around my waist and he crushed me against his chest, kissing every part of me he could reach, "God I love you.  I love you more than anything in the world. I haven't seen you in so long."

I ran my fingers through his thick black hair, "I've missed you."

Nicko smirked, "I've missed you too Dems."

I pressed my lips against his hungrily and when his arms locked around me, he didn't let go until the early house of the morning.

I woke up wrapped in Nicko's arms, with a huge smile on my face. Gently, I turned over and kissed his jawline, moving my way up to his lips.

"Good morning baby." I giggled.

He opened his eyes blearily and smiled down at me, squinting slightly, "Am I still dreaming?"

I propped myself on my elbow and ran my fingertips over his cheek, "Not unless I am too and I'm perfectly fine with not waking up for awhile."

He hummed as we kissed again, "Me too... But our daughter will be waking up soon. And as much as I'm enjoying loving you, I can't wait to see her again."

I smiled, "She's gonna be so happy when she sees you. She's gotten so big."

Nicko groaned and leaned his head back, "I hate that we're almost worlds apart. How's it going with labrinth?"

"Tim's good. We work really well together."

He raised an eyebrow, "Just make sure it's not going too well."

I mimicked his expression, "My my, Mr. Baker and you jealous?"

He chuckled and cupped my cheek, "I have nothing to be jealous for. You're already mine. It's him who's jealous. I'm just protecting my girl."

I leaned into his hand, "Believe me, you have nothing to worry about. You are the only one I think about when I sing that song. We should do a cover of it and post it. I bet you would sound sexier on it anyway."

Nicko shrugged, "We could do that. I just want Tim to understand that I could care less how much his face is worth, I'll still break it if he tries anything."

I rolled my eyes a bit, "Even if he does, you won't. I don't need you to get in trouble for his actions. Promise me that you won't hit him."

"I can't promise that. But I'll do my best. Besides, I thought I didn't have anything to worry about."

I nodded, "You don't. All you have to think about the next time you get worried is this moment, just you and me, loving each other and know that you are the love of my life, and the only one I want to fall asleep and wake up next to."

He smiled, "I adore you."

I leaned in, kissing him slowly, "And I, you."

Just as Nicko went to pull me closer a low whine went through the baby monitor, and I chuckled, "Looks like someone's hungry. Do you want me to get her and bring her in here?"

Nicko shook his head, "I'll get her. You stay here lookin' gorgeous."

He got up and went to the nursery, while I checked my phone. My email was flooded with messages from my team, a link prominent in each one of them. I closed my eyes and clicked it, groaning when I opened them to see the title, "DEMI LOVATO AND LABRINTH SECRET ROMANCE?"

"What's up?"

I looked up at Nicko who was walking in with Mia, "Nothing, just another rumor."

He sat on the bed, "What is it?"

I read the headline to him, "His team wants us to not make a statement to build up the hype for the single. That's idiotic though considering me and you are being photographed here all the time."

Nicko frowned, "They want you to lie?"

I sighed and tossed my phone on the bed, leaning over to kiss him, "It doesn't matter what they want me to do. I'm not going to do anything that will affect us."

He smiled and leaned down to kiss Mia's head, "I know you won't, I trust you. If you want, you can go along with the label's plan. As long as you and I know we're okay it'll be fine."

I sighed, "Are you sure?"

Mia squealed suddenly and crawled over to me, giggling as she hit my hands with hers. Nicko watched with a huge smile, "Absolutely. No rumor is going to take this away from me."

I smiled at him under my lashes and picked Mia up, turning her around to face Nicko, "This is a picture, huh?"

He grabbed his phone and I smiled at the camera, then kissed Mia's forehead, "She's so beautiful. She's got her daddy's eyes."

Nicko took Mia and tossed her into the air, making her squeal with laughter, "How's my girl doing?" He laughed, "Do you like to fly?"

"Dada!" She screamed with laughter as he tossed her into the air again.

Nicko caught her and nuzzled her face with his nose, "She's so cute. How did I get so lucky?"

I smiled, "I think it's us who's lucky. She has the best daddy in the world. People are going to think twice about coming after her."

He chuckled, swiping his finger down her nose, "Her daddy will kill anyone who hurts her. Or her mommy."

I smiled, "Now that we're all here, are you ready for your Father's Day present?"

Nicko raised one eyebrow, "Babe you didn't have to get me anything. She won't even remember this."

I shook my head and took a small, wrapped box out from the bedside table, "You deserve the world Nik. Of course I had to get you something."

Nicko gave me a look as he ripped off the paper and groaned at the sight of the Harry Winston box, "Demi... How much did you spend?"

"Babe, just open it." I said with a warning smile.

He rolled his eyes playfully, then opened the box, revealing the beautiful diamond encrusted watch I had picked out the other day.

"Wow." He murmured, taking it out to examine it. "It's amazing."

I put Mia on her back so she could play with her toes, then moved behind him, putting my head on his shoulder as I turned it over in his hands, "There's an inscription." I whispered, kissing the nape of his neck.

Nicko cleared his throat to read it aloud, "Love is the most powerful of all passions." He nodded, "Voltaire was a smart man."

I kiss his neck, "Our love, is the most powerful and passionate of all loves."

He blinked a few times, then turned his head so his lips met mine, "Thank you. I love you you Dems, so much."

I smiled and brushed a piece of his hair back, trailing my fingers along his jawline, "I love you too Nicko. More than anything."
