Chapter Two


Joey and Lauren sat holding each others hands like their lives depended on it, there unborn child's life on the line as the nurse looked at the screen.

The nurse turned to them a smile on her face. "Everything is okay my dear, your baby's are doing fine." They smiled in relief before frowning as her words became clear, both speaking at the same time. "Baby's?" The nurse nodded, smiling. "Your having twins, didn't you know?" Lauren looked shocked "uh no, I'm safe to say I didn't." The nursed smiled gently. "it's okay dear, one of them could of been hiding."

Lauren and Joey were in shock, they were having twins after being given the all clear, they left the hospital. They smiled arriving back on the square, Joey breaking Lauren out of her day dream. "Shall we tell the family? Or do you want to wait." Lauren smiled up at him "they're not going to be happy, dating is one thing but having a baby, um baby's is different." Joey smiled "we'll be together. That's the main thing."

She smiled kissing him softly, before she took hold of his hands there fingers twining together as they headed towards number 5 Albert Square, walking in quietly.

They both looked at each other with a worried look before walking into the living room where Tanya and Oscar were watching a DVD. Lauren smiled before clearing her throat, her mom looking into her direction, standing up following them, as Joey and Lauren left the room heading to the kitchen, putting the kettle on.

Lauren decided to make herself busy making cup of teas for them all, she placed them on the table sitting down nervously looking at Joey, he smiled softly, Tanya looking at them confused, as she decided to speak up. "So, is anyone going to tell me what's wrong." Lauren sighed looking at her mom. "Why don't you sit down." Her mom looked at her. "I'm fine standing." She raised a brow. "well, you gonna tell me or what?" Joey looked at Lauren before looking at Tanya. "Aunt Tanya, maybe you should S-" Lauren broke in , interrupting him. "I'm pregnant, Joey's the dad, I'm keeping them." Tanya sat down quickly, nearly falling in the chair before looking up quickly. "Um, them?" Joey looked at Lauren chuckling slightly as she cracked a smile at him. "She's carrying twins aunt Tanya." Lauren grinned. "Surprise."


A few days had passed since Lauren and Joey told her mom about the pregnancy, she decided to tell her dad tonight inviting him and Kirsty round for lunch knowing it would be just them in. He happily accepted.

Joey had gone out getting a takeaway placing it out on the tables just as the doorbell rang. He kissed Lauren's cheek before heading to answer the door letting them both in. Lauren sat down nervously pouring the juice into the glasses. Max walked in kissing her forehead. "Orange juice? Makes a change for you ey?" She chuckles awkwardly as they all sat down beginning to eat, silence descending on them.

They had finished there meal, Lauren clearing her throat as the took a drink. "Um, dad. I Actually invited you around for a reason." He chuckled. "I figured as much." She smiled looking at Joey, before turning to her, dad. "Look, dad. Don't get mad, alright." He nodded softly. Lauren sighed. "Dad, I'm pregnant." Max frowned before laughing."right sure , good joke. What's the real reason?" Lauren looked at Joey sighing. Joey took her hand smiling. "Uncle Max this is no joke." Max's face dropped frowning. "Pregnant? Your 19 Lauren! Your going to the hospital tomorrow and your going to abort that-that thing inside of you." Lauren glared at him. "No, no I'm not. I'm keeping them. Yes, them. We're having twins." Max looked at her before standing walking out Kirsty frowning "congratulations" she smiled lightly before following max out.

Lauren frowned falling in joeys arms crying. "I knew he wouldn't be happy but to insist I get an abortion?" She sobbed into his shoulder as he soothed her holding her on his lap.


Joey had got her settled, carrying her to bed as he helped her in some shorts and t-shirt, before stripping down to his boxers, climbing in behind her, spooning her a hand rested against her tiny stomach, where there baby's rested. A small bump forming, they both fell asleep, a smile on there faces.
