Lauren woke the next day to an empty bed, she looked over and saw JJ wasn't in his cot, she wrapped her dressing gown round her and walked into the kitchen
"morning hows JJ?" lauren asked
"hes ok, hes washed, dressed and fed" joey told her
"see you two don't need me" lauren said sitting down at the table
"don't say that lauren" joey said
"its true though joey" lauren said sulking
"don't start again lauren ok, ive gotta get to work" joey said
"what why? Its only early" lauren declared
"sharons taken on a new girl and wants me to show her the ropes" joey informed her
"oh ok" lauren sighed.
Joey left for work and lauren decided to take JJ shopping, she got herself and him ready and left the flat. Lauren and JJ headed up west for the morning, lauren decided she wanted to buy joey a present, she went into a watch shop and spent some time looking around before settling on a nice silver watch. After finishing shopping lauren headed back to the square, she decided to surprise joey so she and JJ headed to R&R. she walked down the stairs and saw joey talking and laughing with a pretty brown haired girl
"working hard?" lauren asked
"of course" joey said turning around to see lauren and JJ
"hows my little man doing?" joey said to JJ taking him from lauren
"we've been shopping today" lauren said talking to JJ but for joey to hear
"did you get much?" joey asked looking up at lauren
"yeah a few things, got you a present" lauren smiled
"ok, anyway I better get back to work" joey said
"you not gonna introduce us?" lauren asked looking at the girl she saw joey with
"Natasha this is lauren, lauren, Natasha" joey said pointing between the girls
"hi, aww whose this little fella?" Natasha asked cooing over JJ
"his names JJ, hes our son" lauren proclaimed
"oh joey I didn't know you had a son" Natasha said
"he didn't tell you about JJ?" lauren asked feeling shocked
"ive only just met her lauren, she doesn't need to know my business" joey declared
"ok well I need to get him home for his nap" lauren said
"ok well I'll come home in a bit" joey said before turning back to get on with his work.
Laurens POV
I cant believe that joey hasn't told Natasha about JJ, he tells everyone hes got a son. Another thing when I walked in he was really smiling at Natasha like he smiles at me. I don't feel comfortable with him working with her. God knows how im gonna tell him, I just know hes gonna get annoyed at me
Lauren had cooked her and joeys tea, she set the table and laid his present next to his plate ready for him to open,
"alright wheres Jay?" joey asked
"hes having his nap. I cooked us dinner" lauren said pointing towards the table
"thanks" joey said sitting down at the table
"you gonna open your present?" lauren smiled to him
"its nice thanks" joey said having opened his watch
"you don't like it do you" lauren asked
"yeah its fine" joey replied, getting from the table and giving lauren a peck on the cheek
Lauren pushed her plate away from her and got up from the table leaving joey stunned, she walked into the kitchen and sighed, she poured herself a glass of wine, when she felt joey behind her
"times get tough and out comes the alcohol" joey sighed,
"whatever joey, just go back to work, you spend more time there than you do with me" lauren proclaimed
"oh here we go again, lauren im with you aren't i? what does that tell you" joey asked
"joey when was the last time we had time together, or you touched me or even kissed me properly" lauren declared
"oh lauren I don't have time for this im going back to work" joey sighed
"go on runaway, its what you do best" lauren spat
"yeah and you get wrecked and make an idiot of yourself" joey replied angrily
Joey was stung by laurens hand, he held his cheek and looked at her shocked, he nodded his head and walked out, leaving lauren alone.
