A/N thank you so much for the reviews! this chapter is in lauren's POV

What had I just done or said the room was getting smaller and smaller tons of people coming over to congratulate us I needed to see Joey and explain.

An hour later people had stopped congratulating us and me,Jake,and Whitney were all huddled in a booth, Jake on his phone 'arranging a surprise' Mackelmore came on which was one of mine and Whit's favorite song so we just had to dance to it plus some guys had been eyeing her up and she really needed to move on from Tyler.

'Whit dance with me?'

'Thought you'd never ask!"

'Oi Mrs Stone make sure everyone knows your mine!" Jake playfully yelled at me to which I smiled and pecked him on the cheek.

As we made our way to the dance floor Whit announced she needed to go to the toilet she was pretty drunk as she left I felt a tight grip on my wrist dragging me towards the office I looked up and it was Joey, I wasn't ready to explain yet and what if Jake saw us he'd put two and two together and come up with 5. As we reached the office he opened the door,practically threw me inside slammed the door and locked it

'What you think your playing at Lo eh? I thought you was going to tell him I thought we was back on track, I guess not eh? He spat at me I just looked down at the floor trying to find the words, Joey was the person I could say everything and anything to him, but all of a sudden I couldn't say anything 'Say something, Lauren are you enjoying breaking my heart eh? you getting of on it you and your little husband,was this your plan?.Rage took over and I finally found the words to say

'What like you and Lucy Beale did, like you and Derek did or the stellar performance you did on your own in the Vic? You know Joey the night I caught you and Lucy in here, I came to tell you I was pregnant with Gracie and that I wanted to try again I'd just come back from the doctors, feeling positive that this was a new start for us finally we could be happy but yet again you shattered that, and Jake was there for me he offered to take me to Manchester and look after me like a real man should, Like you should've' Tears was rolling down my face, I knew I needed to get this out 'Me and Jake we never got together straight away, we lived in a one bedroom apartment he slept on the couch and me in the bed, one night I was on the phone with Whit and she mentioned you and Lucy had been spending a lot of time together and it sent me over the edge I turned to vodka, Jake didn't judge me like you would've or people round hear he just looked after me, took me to the hospital and made sure Gracie was alright, thats when we found out I was having a girl, she was fine a little small but was a fighter, that night Jake asked if he could look after me and Gracie he was so sweet and sensitive so I agreed, we went from strength to strength, started the company and became engaged then we took a trip to New York and decided to get married that day, it was perfect I was happy.

'Lo your telling me your happy with another man, he can make you feel the same way I can eh? Because I'm not buying it'

'No I wasn't as happy with him as I was with him, but he made me feel safe and secure that he would provide for me and baby, that we'd be set for life and we are, so yeah Joey I would love to get back with you and for me you and Gracie to be a family, but I can't, if I leave Jake I loose everything and you've got to remember its not just me I've got to think of I need to put my Daughters needs first and thats means staying with Jake'

'If thats all your worried about babe I can provide for you' He said softly

'You don't understand Joey, your not a parent' I said without thinking of the consequences I saw tears filling his eyes

'Who's faults that Lauren eh?' He snapped at me 'My breaks over and you should get back to your husband don't you?'
