A/N: MY FIRST 9 to 5 Fic! Although I've been writing stuff involving this show on Livejournal for sometime but not an actual fic with characters from it!
I'm working on a Joe/Violet fic right now (because Andy Karl and Allison Janney are cute together) and but I wrote this to start out with.
It's from Josh's POV about his feelings about his mom (Violet) and her new boyfriend.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN 9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL Or it's characters that belongs to Pat Resnick and Dolly Parton...I'm just playing with Joe/Violet and Josh because they are all so awesome.
RIP 9 to 5

We Hardly Knew 'Ye
Okay it's not that I don't like Joe, I mean I like him just fine. He's good to her. He really is, he's someone I feel I could trust to take good care of my mom. But, he just. It's weird.
Dad died four years ago, I remember it well. I was 13, and I remember my mom just had such a hard time telling me what had happened. It was like she lost part of herself, of course, she lost her husband of almost 15 years! I couldn't blame her. And she never really was herself again, she just pushed against the grain and kept on moving. I had to admit I was kinda trying to get her laid, as weird as that is for a 16 year old trying to push his mom to do. But I thought that would bring my old mom back, the one that was married to my dad. And then Joe came along.
That's the weird part. Joe Rieff, her new boyfriend, he moved in with us a few months. And I'm scared to say, I'm afraid of forgetting my dad. I mean, here's Joe, he was there when I was being sent off to my Junior prom, and my mom cried over how handsome I looked in my rented tux standing next to my date. And Joe was there when I broke my leg skate boarding. In fact he was just about as worried as she was. It's like he's doing everything dad would be doing, and I don't know if he's trying to help my mom by being there to support her with everything or if he's trying to fill in for my dad. The latter is was I'm afraid of. What if he does, then I forget about everything my dad did with me.
No I don't mind Joe. I don't mind him at all. I'm just scared that he and my dad won't be able to co-exist in my memories.
