Note: This is my interpretation of what happened. Hope you enjoy! I'll be posting more Overgron One Shots here :)
It was a normal Thursday noon when Dianna decided to give Chord a call. She hasn't told anyone much about the good news yet and she thought, Chord would be one of the firsts to know.
"Dianna?" He asked the other line.
"Hey, Chord. How are you?" She replied.
"Nothing. Nothing much. Just hanging here at home. How bout you? Haven't seen you in a while." He said, as he jumped out of bed. He went to the kitchen to make some protein shake.
"I'm good. I actually have something to tell you. But you have to guess first." She giggled.
"Well... Apparently, I have no clue. Just tell me."
"I got a new pup! It's a bulldog." She said, with excitement.
"Really? That's good! I can't wait to see it!"
"Are you just gonna stay home for the day? I can go there, if it's okay." She said, hoping he doesn't have any plans for the day.
"I have to rehearse for tonight though. I have a show on the 20th."
"Wow! That's amazing!" She was proud of him with her tone of voice. There was like a quick moment of silence until Chord asked her.
"You are coming though, right?"
"Yeah. Of course. I'll give Jenna a call so we can meet each other there. Who else is gonna be there?" She asked.
"Uh, no. I meant, today?" He giggled, thinking he was too obvious that he wanted to see her.
"Oh... Yeah. I mean, if I can fit in to your schedule."
"Yeah. Sure. It's only 12:30. I won't have to leave till 5 so..."
"Okay, cool. I'll be there in a while. I'll just bring something so we can have lunch there."
"Alright. See you." Then, she hung up.

The moment the doorbell rang, he was on his feet and opened the door. He was really excited to see Dianna but when he opened the door, it wasn't her that caught his eye. Usually, it was but this time was different.
"Oh my God." It was all he said and his eyes were locked on this cute little bulldog carried by this extremely gorgeous girl. He grabbed the puppy and hugged it tight. "He's so adorable!"
"So, the puppy gets more attention now. It's fine." She joked and went inside.
"He looks so cute, Di. I can't help it!" He laughed while carrying the puppy like a baby. "What's his name?" He asked.
"Freddie. His name is Freddie."She said and tried to pet her little pup while Chord carries him.
"Looks like momma's back with her love for dogs." He smiled, not trying to make a joke about it.
"It was a tough decision but...it was about time to get myself a new one." She smiled back.
"Well, I'm happy you did. At least, you have some entertainment at home now." He said as he put Freddie down on the floor. "What'd you bring for lunch?" He asked.
"You hungry? I just made a quick salad. I didn't have much time to make something special." She laughed. She placed the salad on the table and got both of them plates and utensils.
"Don't worry. I'd eat anything." He laughed. "Seen any paps that followed you?"
"Luckily, none. I drove as fast as I could and I don't think anyone saw me." She sat down. "Come on, let's eat."
Chord sat beside her as they both ate their lunch. "So, how are you?" He asked.
"I'm fine. I mean, nothings really going on. I just got back and had a photoshoot yesterday. Just that and preparing for the premiere." She said, as she took a bite.
"How's the boyfriend?" He said, with a teasing tone.
She laughed. "I don't know. Long distance but we're still holding onto it."
"Maybe you should leave him and go for another C guy." He joked and winked at her. She just laughed. "Just kidding." He added.
"How about you? I didn't know you were having a concert." She started a new topic.
"I just announced it last month. It was a dream come true. I mean, I love playing on shows with my dad but to do this on my own is just amazing."
"I'm excited for you. Can't wait to see it." She smiled and felt Freddie move in between her feet. "Hey, buddy. You want to eat?" Dianna got up and went to Freddie's bag to get him something to munch on.
"Are you finish? I'm gonna put these in the sink now." He asked while she was busy with her pup.
"Yeah. Thank you." She said. She was now on his couch trying to play with Freddie. After a while, Chord got back with something in his hand. He sat beside her.
"Hey. I got you something." He handed it over to her and she checked what it was.
"No, no, no, Chord. Keep it. I'll pay for my ticket. I promise, I'll be there." She gave it back.
"It's not that I'm forcing or making sure you'll to be there. I have special VIP tickets and I want you to have one." He gave it back.
"Keep it okay? This is your show. I will pay for my ticket." She gave it back again.
"No. It's yours. Take it. Please? I don't want you to spend anymore."
"But it's my way of support okay? I'll pay it like others do."
"You don't have to pay, Di. Come on. Take it. Just be there..." He stopped and grabbed her hand. He placed the ticket in her hand. "...and it's the biggest support I'll ever get." He smiled.
No one could say no to that smile of Chord Overstreet. Everyone knows it. She just smiled back and took the tickets. "Freddie, go to Chord." She said as the dog followed her orders. "So, is that your rockstar look? Long hair... Bandana... and a beard?" She joked and they both laughed. His hair was getting in the way of his face so she fixed it the way Quinn did when Sam got slushied in the face.
"Do I look good with it?" He asked.
"It looks pretty badass..." She said and they both laughed.
"Then I guess I know what to wear on the 20th." He said and winked at her. "Freddie. Can you stay with me and leave your mom?" He talked to the dog.
"Shut up. He's mine." Dianna said and giggled.
"He looks so adorable. I might just rob this from you so you better watch your back." He joked as he embraced the dog.
"Well, I think the dog became more adorable when he found out I was the owner." She joked back.
"I can agree with that." He said and they both laughed. It was quite a long pause until he looked at her. "We miss you on set, you know."
She just smiled. "Of course, I miss you guys too but... Things have changed and I think I'm better off this way."
"You like movies more than tv shows?" He asked.
"For a change. I mean, I like exploring new things and being on the big screen is exciting too."
"How about the cast?"
"You guys are my family but eventually, the French and the crew have grown to be my family too."
"I can try and make a Tommy Lee Jones impression for you everyday if you come back on set." His face was almost begging. It's really been different since most of the cast have changed. He missed the good old buddies.
"You know it's not up to me, right? I'd be happy to be back but right now... I don't think now is the time."
His face felt like he just got rejected from something when he heard her response. She didn't want to see that but she couldn't do anything. She tried to think of something to keep his mind off the previous conversation. "How about a photo with Freddie?" She said.
He just giggled. "Yeah, sure." His face remained sad.
"Come on, Chordy. Don't be like that."
"What do you mean?" He tried to smile.
"I don't want us to think or talk about work. Just...it's our time to hang out with Freddie. I don't think he likes taking pictures with someone sad." She said.
He just smiled and tried to forget about it. She was right. He stood up and carried the dog. "Here..." He handed her his phone. "Take our photo."
She stood up and took their photo and she thought it was the most adorable thing in the world.
"Aww. Look at the boy." He said, looking at the picture.
"I know... He looks cute." Dianna said and smiled.
"I was talking about me." He joked and laughed hard.
"I know. We are talking about the same boy." She smiled at him and laughed. They spent the rest of the afternoon together with Freddie until it was time to go. When she left, Chord posted on his instagram before leaving for rehearsals.
