Lauren's POV:

I turned sharply as I heard my name, I thought it was my imagination but no beacause as I turned I saw the worst person who could have possibly saw me It was Joey!

Joey's POV:

As I sat in the Vic I suddenly felt I needed some air, i turned to Lucy and told her I needed some air. She just casually nodded her head as if no one other than her mattered so I just stood up and walked out. As I got outside I heard a baby crying, this confused me as everyone knew everyone around here and as far as I knew no one had had a baby around here recently so cautiously I mad my way towards the sound. I was about to turn the corner towards the park when I heard her voice, no it couldn't be I thought to myself. Only one way to find out. I turned the corner towards the little park just outside the Square and saw the person I never thought I would ever see again. It was Lauren but she wasn't alone !

"Lauren?!"

Lauren's POV:

Why was this happening to me, it couldn't be him could it ? It was impossible.

"Joey" I inhaled a deep breath as I said this as I hoped them words would never leave my mouth again.

Joey cautiously made his way towards me whilst staring at me and sometimes flicking his intense state towards the prm that was next to me.

"Oh my god, Lauren what are u doing here, where have you been" Joey rushed, tears coming to his eyes as he said this.

" Joey, slow down will you and can you be quiet I've only just got this one to sleep!" I exclaimed, slowly rocking the push chair and noticed his once again intence stare at my hand and at the buggy.

"Lauren who's that?" Joey asked as he looked me in the eyes, I hoped I would at least have a couple of days to think up my speach but no, he just had to see me tonight didn't he.

"She's not a that Joey her name is Jessica and she's my daughter if you don't mind!" I explained, silently cursing myself for letting those words slip from my mouth.

Joey's eyes widened and suddenly he asked a question that I knew he already knew the answer.

"Is she mine, how old is she, what's her full name?" Joey asked, knocking me back to the real world.

"Can you please be quiet please and I will answer your questions!"

"Sorry" Joey mumbled.

"Right ok, her full name is Jessica Marie Joseph Branning, she is nearly one and yes she is yours, does that answer all your questions?"

"Yes it does but Lauren, why didn't you tell me, surely I had a right to know I was a father?" Joey shouted angrily at me making me make a shock decision.

"You know what joey, when I left I didn't know I was pregnant but even if i did would you have expected me to tell you because if you did then you must be blind. Why would I tell the man that believed his vile ex girlfriend over his current one anything to do with my life so don't you dare start having a go at me you idiot. You know what the only person that actually believed me and stood by me was fatboy and that's why he is the only single person that has known where I was this past year and he even had the heart to ring me every single day to check up on me. I changed my number and smashed up my phone so no one could contact me but I gave him my new number and he swore down that he wouldn't tell anyone and he didn't lie unlike some people do. To be honest with you, he was the one that told me to leave because I was pregnant and I took him up on that and left. I'll tell you something it was the best decision of my life.

Joey looked quite taken back by my rant and stepped back cautiously.

"Baby girl I knew it, I had a feeling you were back baby girl, oh Joey ?!"
