Lauren continued dancing with her friends, but was keeping an eye on joey, he had yet noticed she was in the club. She saw joey head back into the office and decided to go to the bar where the brunette was
"nice to look at aint he" lauren said to the brunette
"yeah he is, knows his charm" the brunette smiled
"he's like it with everyone" lauren replied
"oh right, well he seems to know what he's doing" the brunette spoke again
"yeah he does" lauren replied before walking off again.
She went back and joined her friends at the table, lucy and whitney were pretty drunk by now but lauren had been sticking to orange juice because she was breastfeeding. Joey had come back out of the office and was back to working the bar, the brunette was still sitting there and joey kept talking and flirting with her. She saw the brunette touch joeys hand when he passed her, her drink, and that done it for lauren. She said goodbye to her friends and began to walk out of the club, as she walked past the bar she heard her name called, she turned to see joey
"how long you been here?" he asked
"about 2 hours, but you've been preoccupied" lauren replied looking towards the brunette sat at the bar
"why didn't you text me?" joey asked
"because you were busy" lauren said getting angry
"well I didn't think we were gonna be busy" joey said
"whatever joey im going home" lauren said as she began to walk away but joey grabbed her arm stopping her
"whats wrong?" he asked
"you were in the office a long time with that girl, she giving you what im not?" lauren snapped
"don't be stupid lauren im working" joey proclaimed
"yeah well im going home to our daughter" lauren shouted before finally walking out of the club.

Once lauren arrived home she headed up to bed where she saw sophia laying in her moses basket. She stood and watched her daughter for a while, thinking about all the things she wanted for her as she got older. She finally climbed into bed and started to sob into her pillow, after a while she felt someone next to her, she turned to see joey,
"im sorry" lauren cried
"its ok, its not your fault" joey sighed taking lauren in his arms
"I just saw you with her and im so insecure at the minute ive just had a baby, we're not having sex, I wouldn't blame you if you looked elsewhere" lauren said
"babe your stupid, your body needs time to heal, im not rushing to have sex, I love you, we aren't all about sex" joey laughed
"but you was in the office so long with her" lauren said wiping her eyes
"she's got a business proposal for Sharon and seeing as she wernt there I took charge" joey explained
"oh god I feel even more stupid" lauren sighed
"babe theres no one else I want" joey smiled tilting laurens head so she was looking at him, he moved towards her and gently kissed her
"do you mean that?" lauren asked
"yes I do babe, look I wasn't gonna do this yet, but now seems the right time" joey said moving from the bed and went into one of his draws to get something
"what?" lauren asked watching him
"I know we've had plenty of ups and downs, and im sure we've got many more to come, but I only want them with you, and now we've got sophia, I know its gonna be a while but I want lots of babies with you" joey said
"ok" lauren said listening
"lauren branning will you marry?" joey asked opening the box to show lauren the ring
"yes of course" lauren beamed and wrapped her arms around joeys neck and kissed him,
"lets put this on" joey said pulling away from the kiss, he took the ring and placed it on laurens finger. Both smiling contently.
