" Joseph? She's mine?" Joey asked me. He was shaking. I'm not sure if it was from fear of finding out of fear of her not being his.

Joey's P.O.V

I was terrified of her answer. What if she wasn't mine. I would never get my Lauren back now.

" I think we should talk. privately" Lauren replied, looking towards the vic. I turned round to see what she was looking at and that's when I saw Abi, Sarah and Alice walking over to us.

" Shit" I muttered under my breath. I jsut hoped Lauren didn't hear me

" Joey why did you run off like that?" Sarah asked me. She walked over to me and linked her arm through mine.

End of Joey's P.O.V

.

I saw a blonde walking behind Abi and Alice. I wasn't sure who she was until she linked arms with Joey; of course, that's his girlfriend. Abi had told me about a week ago that Joey had a new girlfriend; that's why I decided to come back.

" Sorry. I needed some air and then I saw Lauren" I heard Joey reply.

" Who is she?" The blonde asked. Jelousy was written all over her face.

" She's my co-"

I instantly cut Joey off. I knew he was about to say cousin but we were much more than that.

" Actually, I'm the mother of his daughter"

" I thought you said she had a miscarriage, Joe." Alice chipped in

" I thought she did but obviously not. Can we please not talk about this in the middle of the square?"

" Come in to our's. We can talk there" Abi said, opening the door to number five.

" Abs could you take Sophie, please. I need bring in my suitcase" I asked

" I'll take her" Joey said, walking up to me and taking Sophie out of my embrace.

" Sarah, I'll call you tomorrow. I need to talk with my family" Joey said, turning to his girlfriend.

Sarah left and Alice, Abi, Joey, Sophie and I were in the livingroom.

" Abi, Alice could you give me and Joey some privacy please"

" Sure" They replied in unison, heading into the kitchen.

I clocked eyes with Joey. His eyes full of lust and hurt.

" Did you lie when you said you miscarried?" Joey hesitantly asked

" No. The doctor rold me I had but then he phoned me three days later and told me that he mixed up my notes with someone elses."

" I'm so sorry, Lauren. You shouldn't have had to go through that yourself. You know I would have helped you, right?"

" I was in a bad place when I left, Joe. I didn't know if you still wanted a baby and my insecurities got the better of me so I decided to stay in Cyprus"

" Oh babe. I would have stuck by you. The first time I saw you I knew I wanted kids." Joey leaned over and tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear.

He really is breaking my heart right now.

" Don't, Joey"

" Why?"

" because you're happy with your girlfriend, Joe"

" No I'm not. You are the only one that can make me happy"

" I miss you, Joey. But for now I need to be single. Maybe we can be more that that in the distant future but definately not now."

" I miss you too, babe. And I totally agree." Joey smiled and hugged me tightly whilst I silently cried in his arms.

The next chapter will have Abi and Alice talking in the kitchen. Hope you like :)
