"Joe are you sure we shou-"
"She will be fine, Lo. It's for a few hours."
"But we have never left her with a babysitter, Wox! I'm scared." Lauren admitted looking up at Joe, tears forming in her eyes.
Joe sighed and embraced his wife. "Hey don't cry." He pressed his lips to her forehead gently. "She is two years old and can deal with our neighbor for the two hours while we are gone. Alright?" Joe took his thumb, brushing the tears away gently. "Besides we never go out. Wouldn't Mommy be a happier Mommy if she got to relax for one night?"
"Yeah I guess so..."
"Exactly. Now you go get ready and I'll get Megan all situated, alright?"
"Okay. I love you."
"Love ya too." He said before running out of the room quickly to go handle their daughter.
In Megan's Room
"Hi princess!" Joe exclaimed as he walked into his daughter's room as she awoke from her nap.
The two year old giggled and mumbled something in gibberish. Joe just smiled and picked her up, carrying her downstairs to make her some food to eat. He placed her in her high chair, gently putting a bib on her that read, "I Love My Mommy." Joe figured Lauren would get a kick out of it if she saw it. He placed some pasta, which had just cooled, in front of Megan. She was in the stage where she wanted to do everything herself, including feeding herself. Sure it led to a mess but it gave the parents some extra time to do quick things like loading the dish washer as they watched her.
"Hey babe do you know where my heels are? The black ones I like to wear?"
"Yeah I think they are in the foyer. But hey! Look at this little model's bib." He smirked pointing to their baby girl.
A large smile formed on Lauren's face. "I love it!" She grabbed her phone, taking a picture of the cute girl in front of her. "And Mommy loves you too." She gave her daughter a quick kiss before running off to finish getting ready.
A Half Hour Later
"Lo, it's time to go! Regina's here!" Regina was the teenage girl who would be babysitting Megan that night. As he waited for her he started explaining the routine for the two year old. As he was talking he felt a small tap on his leg. He turned around and smiled at his daughter. "Hi there, sweetie." He picked her up, placing her on his hip. "Regina's gonna watch you, right?" Megan nodded smiling and Joe have her a quick kiss before hearing his wife start talking.
"Hey save some kisses for me."
Joe looked up and saw how stunning she was. Her hair pinned back while wearing a pretty black dress on. "Wow, Lo. You're absolutely gorgeous."
A small blush creeped upon her cheeks. "Thank you. You don't look to bad yourself." She had a small smile on her face before leaning down, kissing Megan. "Now you be good okay."
Joe handed the girl to Regina before placing his hand on the small of Lauren's back, helping her out the door. As they left the cries of Megan could be heard.
"Maybe we should go back in ther-"
"Lauren, she will be fine. In a few minutes she'll forget we are even gone. Just try to enjoy the night, okay?"
"Fine." She sighed lightly and got in the car.
Overall, the dinner was amazing. The two got to relax and had a fun night. When they got back they found out that Megan was fine and fell asleep with ease. After they paid Regina the two went up to their bedroom. Lauren grabbed one of Joe's shirts, which was like a nightgown
to her, putting it on. Joe took off his own shirt, leaving him in just his boxers. The couple laid down in bed, cuddling up with each other.
"Thank you, Wox."
"For what?"
"For bringing me out tonight."
"Oh, Lo. You don't have to thank me for that." He placed a kiss on the top of her head.
"Yeah but I almost didn't go, so thank you for making me." She felt Joe chuckle into her hair. They leaned in and shared a kiss.
"No problem. Now let's get to bed. It's getting late."
"Alright, dad." She joked resulting in her getting a playful judge from Joe.
"Love you."
"Love you more, Wox."
