#there's no way to explain
all the pleasure is worth all the pain#

Laurens POV

"What the hell do you mean you and joey have been seeing each other?" dad shouted slamming his knife and fork on the table

"Well we're together" I whispered, not liking his raised voice

"Did you know?" dad asked staring at mum

"I spoke to joey today and told them they needed to tell you, that's why we're here" mum said to dad

"Your cousins, it's not right, it's disgusting" dad proclaimed looking straight at me

"We know it doesn't seem right, but it's not illegal" joey said saving me

"It's not illegal? I don't care if it aint illegal. Its sick, that's what it is" dad shouted getting up from his seat and walking out of the lounge

"Abi, take Oscar upstairs please" mum said, before going to find dad

"Hey its ok, at least he knows now" joey said moving next to me, he held me in his arms

"I wasn't expecting him to be ok straight away, but I didn't think he'd take it this bad" I sobbed as joey held me.

Max's POV

I was stood in the kitchen having a drink when Tanya came into see me

"Max, I know it's hard to get your head round, but they love each other" she tried to reason

"Tan its sick. They're family, same blood" I proclaimed

"They're right though, it's not illegal max, you can't stop them. Ive never seen lauren so happy these last couple of weeks, and you've even got joey working with you" she sighed

"I know, but what are people going to say?" I asked her

"It shouldn't matter what people say, it's your daughters happiness that matters, come with me" she said taking my hand and leading me out of the kitchen, I stopped outside the lounge door where I saw joey comforting my daughter

"Look babe, he'll come round eventually, it's just a shock" joey said to Lauren

"I know, I just thought he'd be better about it" Lauren sobbed into joeys chest, I saw him rubbing her back in a comforting way.

"I'd like a moment with my daughter please" I said walking into the lounge

"That ok?" I saw joey ask Lauren who nodded yes in response, joey then left us alone

"I'm sorry for shouting the way I did" I apologised

"It's ok, I know you were shocked" Lauren sighed

"Are you happy with him?" I asked her

"Yes, I can't explain it dad, but its right with us" she explained

"Look Lauren, your my daughter, all I want is for you to be happy, and well if joey makes you happy, then I'm not gonna stand in your way" I explained

"Are you serious?" she asked sniffing

"Yes lauren, I love you" I smiled, moving to hug her

"I love you too dad" she smiled returning the hug.

Joeys POV

Lauren and max had spent a while talking, whilst me and Tanya were in the kitchen washing up, they both walked into the kitchen and smiled at us

"Everything ok now?" Tanya asked them

"Yeah it is, you hurt her, I'll hurt you" uncle max said shaking my hand

"I wouldn't dream of it" I smiled

"We're gonna go upstairs for a bit" Lauren told her parents taking my hand to follow her

"No funny business" uncle max joked as we walked away.

We walked into Laurens room, she shut the door behind us, as she turned around I pinned her against the door and began kissing her, both of us fighting for dominance of the kiss.

"Your dad said no funny business" I laughed pulling away

"You started it" she laughed back

"I can't stop myself" I said grinning at her.

Laurens POV

After a while of no funny business joey left, I was so pleased with how well dad had taken me and joey. I was lying in bed when abi came into our room, she come and lay on the bed next to me

"Do you really love joey?" she asked me

"Yeah I do why?" I asked confused by her question

"Ive just never seen you this happy" she smiled

"He makes me happy abs" I smiled back at her.

Abi climbed off my bed and made her way over to hers, I'd turned the light off ready to sleep, when my phone went off
