A/N: enjoy! just a drabble really! Please review! thank u!
Mel walked into the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of water and yelled upstairs, "Joe! Get your ass down here, stat!"
Seconds later, Joe came skidding into the kitchen at lightning speed, looking worried. "Yeah?" He asked, "Everything okay?"
"Relax, Mr Speedy, everything's fine. Just this is the last day before you leave for your book tour and I wanted to make sure we made the most of it!" Mel replied whilst laughing.
"Aw, baby that's so sweet! Are you sure you will be okay for four months on your own?"
"Yes, I'll be fine! Babies aren't due for another seven months, it'll be okay! I was thinking we could go down to the park today for a walk and a picnic?"
They agree to leave in a couple of hours to give Joe time to prepare the food.
Lennox flopped onto her bed, next to Zander. "We didn't find an apartment that we both liked, that we could afford!" She complained.
"I know!" Zander whined, "Who knew that big, spacey apartments would cost so much?"
Lennox sat up and carefully said, "Maybe we should wait until we have both finished college, have stable jobs so we can afford a place of our own? Until then we can continue living here, Mel and Joe won't mind I don't think. It makes more sense."
"Yeah. Sure, honey, whatever you say!" Was Zander's prompt response that made Lennox smile.
"I can't believe it's Joe's last day today! I can't believe he's going for four months and I also can't believe that Aunt Mel is running for congress and that she's pregnant with twins! It's so much to take in!" Lennox sighed happily and leant against Zander, who put his arm around her.
"Yeah, I know. "
Mel laced her fingers through Joe's as they set off around the park. "Will there be more book tours after this one?" She asked
"I don't know. All I know is that you will always come first, whatever happens, I will always be by your side." Joe replied seriously, a softness in his voice and eyes. She turned to face him, now holding both of his hands and whispered, "God you're amazing. I love you."
"I love you too."
Then they kissed passionately. It was long kiss, like a goodbye kiss. It definitely wasn't their last though.
A/N: sorry, i didn't see before that somehow the format got messed up! I've fixed it now i think! thanks for reading and please review!
