Author's Notes: It's short, but better then nothing. OH and before I forget, go look at me new JOA site. It's a site for the pairing of CBG and Joan. And has anyone else noticed that I always have God leaving after something important has happened, me too, I don't know why...

Joan turned back to her parents. "I'm really sorry, this "us" thing just kinda started."

"Just get in the car." Will said.

As they headed home, Helen turned her head and asked where they had met.

"At the bookstore. He needed help looking for a book and we started talking and things led from there."

"When?" Will asked. He was feeling "Big Protective Dad" just jump out of him and couldn't help it; she was after all, his little girl. If this guy hurt her, he was a dead, dead, DEAD man.

"A little under two months ago." Joan replied, inwardly wincing at the lies she was telling her parents. "Sorry. I know I shouldn't lie but this is kind of necessary." She thought, knowing he'd hear.

"And you were gonna tell us when?" Will continued.

"Soon, just didn't know when the time would be right." Joan was beginning to feel like she was being interrogated.

"So you've known this guy for two months, began seeing him, and didn't know when you were gonna tell us?"

"Will, stop." Helen said.

"Helen, she's been seeing a guy who looks older then her and probably is, and didn't tell us-"

"Will! Stop right now. You remember what it was like being a teenager right? So just stop with the twenty questions."

Will sighed and nodded, the three continued home in silence.

Joan stared out the window, mentally apologizing again for the lies and adding on her father's behavior to the list as well. God was walking down the street when he heard her and grinned to himself. "It's alright Joan." He thought "He's busy being a dad and you are his only daughter, so he's entitled to a little freak out."

Joan smiled to herself and knew her was okay with things.

I'll just say one more thing and then shut up. I want to meet this guy, I wanna know what his intentions are with you."

"Next time I see him, I'll let him know."

Helen smiled, which Will saw. "Just think it's funny is all."

"What?"

"How you're getting all protective about her. It's cute."
