"So, this is it" I stated, looking around the packed pub before looking back at joey seeing him smiling like a Cheshire Cat.

"This is bloody amazing babe but who is running it at the moment?" He asked , I don't think that he even expected it to be open!

"Well at the moment it's hopes grandparents but don't worry they knew we ewe coming and made sure everyone was here to welcome us. Including hope." I said, sighing happily, I couldn't wait to see hope and by the look on joeys face, neither could he!

"Well shall we make our presence known then" he stated, I grinned and started laughing, "What?" He asked, I told him not to worry. We started walking towards the bar battling through the tough crowds but joeys hands never left my stomach, I started butting my lip as we got closer to the bar but joey looked so exited. I loved it. I love him.

"Oi Oi, here they are!" The man behind the bar bellowed making us both start giggling, he walked up to joey and shook his hand. "You got yourself a good one there mate" he stated obviously talking about me, joey nodded his head and took my hand.

"Ain't I just" he preened, making my blush.

"Right so let's get this show on the road" I screeched, making everyone look at me in confusion, the pub now silent, I think I was a bit louder than needed be.

"Alright so the moment you've all been waiting for, please welcome the new owners of the royal Albert pub! Joey and lauren" he shouted everyone cheering when they saw us. The men started ogling me but joey obviously saw because he put his hands around my waist and drummed his fingers against my belly. When he did that you could see I was pregnant but before you couldn't.

"Right so, wheres hope then?" I asked looking around before hearing soft murmurs from up stairs. "Oh shes up stairs, I'm going up" I stated looking at joey noticing that hopes grandparents had left and it was just me and joey now. "Oh and everyone, next drinks are on the house!" I shouted kissing joey on the cheek and headed up stairs hearing people wolf whistle as I walked away but joey soon told them off.

"Hiya baby" I giggled looking down at hope who was sat up in her cot. She gurgled something i couldn't make out but she also put her arms up in aid for me to pick her up. I held her in my arms as I sat down, she started to dose off to sleep on my chest so I decided to take her downstairs to meet joey and more than that to see how he was getting on. I decided though to get changed first so I put a body-con dress on to show of my bump. When I was changed I noticed that Hope had woken up and had sat up, she was looking at me and giggling softly. She was so cute. I walked down the stairs and peeked around the corner to see joey bantering with the customers. I smiled widely and walked through the door, hope in my arms, towards joey but he was still yet to notice me. I put my finger to my mouth as if to tell the people that were looking at me to not say anything, I walked up behind him and wrapped my free arm around his waist, everyone started laughing when he jumped including me and hope. He spun around and kissed my pouty lips, he then looked at Hope and saw that she was looking at him, I passed her into his waiting arms and saw her snuggle into his chest in an instant. Ok, this is really weird, shes always reluctant to go to anyone other than to the people she knows well, but she had never met joey yet it looked like she had known him all, her life. I saw joeys eyes fill up with tears as he stared at her and stroked her hair and kissed the top of her head. I felt my heart racing, I knew I had made the right decision saying yes, I loved them both so much! I felt the tears running freely down my cheeks and so did joey because he pulled me into a hug, hope too, and kissed the rope if my head.

"We're where we belong now baby" he said, I nodded and smiled against his chest hearing everyone in the pub oohhhhh and arrrrrr. Life was bloody perfect!
