AN: I don't exactly know what Joey's mums called, i don't think it's ever been said.. so it's made up, sorry it's not that long...
Lauren had 2 weeks left, till her due date, everything was going great, they had found a house, that was pretty cheap. Joey's mom still didn't know about the pregnancy they kept putting it off, afraid she wouldn't accept them with them being cousins, but they finally gained up there courage inviting her to Walford. There new home.
There was a knock on the door, Joey walking to answer it, smiling slightly at Lauren. "It'll be okay, babe." He kissed her lightly before heading to the door.
"Hey, Mum." He smiled hugging her before inviting her in. "I've got something to tell you, and someone to introduce you too."
She smiled gently. "Of course."
Joey smiled leading her to the living room where Lauren was sitting a hand stroking her big bump. Joey smiled at her before turning to his Mum. "Mum, this is Lauren. Lauren this is my mum, Karen. Mum, She's pregnant, due any day. I'm so sorry i didn't tell you but there is something more to this, that you might not accept and i was scared. We both were."
Karen frowned gently "What's more to it that i wouldn't accept? You clearly love each other, and your gonna be a dad Joe, your gonna be a great dad."
Joey smiled lightly and turned to Lauren helping her stand. "Um, w-we're cousins. Lauren is Derek's niece. Her dad and Derek are brothers."
Karen sighed. "Oh, Joey. It's perfectly legal, i don't care as long as your happy that's all that matters."
Joey smiled "Thanks, Mum. I'm really happy, we both are."
Karen turned to Lauren hugging her gently, as she whispered to her. "I'm thankful for you making him happy."
Lauren smiled. "You're welcome."
They pulled away, smiling gently. "We're having twins, i have 2 weeks left, we wanted to tell you sooner, but we were scared. My father accepted us dating, but when he found out I was pregnant that all changed.. He hasn't spoken to me since." She shrugged sadly.
Karen looked at her sadly. "But your mums there, right?"
Lauren nodded. "Yeah, i don't know what i'd do without my mum."
A few days had passed since Karen had visited, Lauren kept feeling pains but not sure if it was just braxton hicks or real contractions, her waters hadn't broken so she had hid it from Joey, who was currently working, Peter was round keeping her company.
"So how you doing, Lo?"
She chuckled softly "I'm fine, considering being big fat and jolly."
He rolled his eyes. "You're not fat, it's a baby bump, difference to fat and having a bump you've got twins growing inside of you."
She smirked. "Yeah, i have. It's crazy how they fit in there, ey?"
He laughed softly before frowning as she winced in pain gripping her stomach. "Lo?"
She smiled lightly. "I-I'm fine, just kicking is all." She lied.
He frowned lightly knowing she's lying. "Lo, don't lie to me, what's wrong?"
She sighed "I think it's time. But i'm early, I've been having pains all day, but i thought it could of been braxton hicks.. but i guess not." She groaned in pain, and looked embarrassed as she felt her waters break her grey pants showing the wetness. "Call Joey.."
He nodded jumping up grabbing the phone from the hook, waiting for him to answer. "Joey. Come home, Lauren's waters have broken."
