It had been a few weeks since Freddie and Lindsey had gotten engaged and they were closer than ever. Lindsey made her way through the village, linked arms with Mercedes as they headed to the Dog.

"So, have you made any wedding plans yet?" Mercedes asked as the two of them took a seat at one of the tables outside.

"We've only been engaged three weeks, we haven't even thought about planning!" Lindsey replied, letting out a chuckle.

"Aw, but I'm dying to wear a dress and look beautiful as your maid of honour!" Mercedes shrugged, smirking as she took a sip of her white wine that Darren had brought over.

"Too bad this isn't your wedding, it's mine!"

"Fine, anyways, how is everything at home? Time's gone so quickly and it feels like I haven't seen you in years!"

"It's okay. Joe's got his trial coming up next week so I'm just nervous that he might get out and then something might happen or he'll take JJ again."

"Linds, that isn't going to happen, he's going to go down for what he did to you and for what he did to JJ, you Freddie and the kids aren't safe if he's around and the courts should know this."

"I just can't help but worry, not for myself but for JJ and Daisy, Joe is capable of anything and I just want the kids to be safe.."

"They will be, just you wait and see, Joe is going to be out of your life for good."

Freddie stepped into the prison, the prison where Joe was being kept. He nodded to thank the prison guard as they let him in. He walked over to where Joe was sitting, pulling out the chair and sitting opposite his elder brother.

"What are you doing here?" Joe asked, looking up.

"Wow, prison really isn't doing you any justice hey?" Freddie said, smiling smugly as he crossed his arms.

"Why are you here?" He asked again, sighing heavily.

"It's your trial next week and I just thought I'd come and see you before you got sent down for life."

"I'm not going down."

"Um, yes you are? When I tell the police everything, you're going down."

"There isn't anything left to tell them."

"You abused Lindsey, you stabbed me and you abducted your 'son'. They're going to find out about the abuse that's for sure. I'm not going to say anything about the stabbing because I know the abuse will get you sent down for a very very long time."

"It's old news, they're not going to do anything!"

"Old news? You still abused your girlfriend, that's not something that'll be let go lightly."

"Fred, I'm your brother and you can't do this!"

"Yes, yes I can. I'm doing this to protect Lindsey, JJ and Daisy and you deserve to be locked away for life."

"JJ is still my son."

"Biologically, yeah but he is never going to know that. I've got the legal rights now, Joe, you've got nothing. Anyway, I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you. I just wanted to come and tell you that me and Linds are engaged so."

"And you expect me to say congratulations?"

"Not atall, you just deserved to know." He shrugged again before standing back up. "I'll see you in the court next week."

"Congratulations." Joe mumbled under his breath, turning away from Freddie.

Freddie nodded reluctantly as he shoved his hands into his pockets, turning around and leaving the prison.

A/N: One, I'm so sorry for the delay in updating. My laptop had to be repaired and I've been far too caught up in other things to worry about fanfic! (Not to mention I'm starting to move away from Frindsey:( ) and two, sorry for such a lame chapter! The trial will be coming up in the next couple of chapters so that'll add some drama and there'll be a few other twists and turns before I finish part two!
