It had been a few weeks after Joe had been found guilty of abduction. Lindsey was relieved but also, inside she was crumbling and she knew she had to see Joe. She'd gotten herself ready and made herself look acceptable to go to Marsh Hill where Joe had been transferred to.

"Why are you so dressed up?" Freddie asked, walking out of the kitchen and over to Lindsey.

"I have to go and see Joe, it must be horrible being stuck in there and he thinks we hate him." Lindsey replied, putting on her black jacket before winding her arms around his neck. "But tonight we're spending the night together and Joe is being put to the back of our minds."

"Do you want me to come with you?" He checked, wrapping his arms around her waist. "What have you got planned for tonight?"

"No it's fine, this is something I have to do on my own." She sighed, looking up at him. "Well, the last time we had a date night was before I got pregnant with Dais and we haven't properly celebrated our engagement so, I've booked us a hotel just outside of Chester and Ziggy and Leela have offered to have the kids for the night."

"You know where I am if you need me. Sounds perfect to me, you always have the best ideas for things like this." He chuckled. "Don't be back late, yeah?"

"I promise I won't be back late but I gotta go. I love you." She spoke, leaning up and kissing him softly before heading out.

Lindsey stepped into the visiting room of Marsh Hill prison, spotting Joe at the very back of the room. She took a deep breath walking over to where he was sat, taking a seat opposite him.

"Joe" She said softly, looking at him.

"If you're here just to tell me how much you hate me, you can save it. I don't want to know." Joe snapped.

"I don't hate you Joe." She added.

"You should do, after everything I've done." He sighed heavily, glancing up at her.

"I've come here because I know you must be going through hell. I thought I'd never be able to forgive you but I don't hate you, not atall. Neither does Freddie. I'm sorry for everything I did, taking JJ from you and taking the chance of being a father away from you"

"I deserved it, Lindsey. What I did was stupid and the worst move I have ever made. JJ deserves better than me as a father and now he's got Freddie, he'll never know who I am."

"Don't say that." She said quietly, placing her hand over his. "JJ will know about you, all the good things you done and how the poor kid is named after you." She joked, chuckling slightly.

"You shouldn't, he doesn't need to know about the mistakes I made but I need you to promise me one thing Linds."

"What would that be?"

"I need you to promise me that you make sure that Freddie looks after JJ, that when he grows up he can teach him all the right things, teach him to be the man that I never turned out to be. Fred always wanted to grow up and be a dad with a little boy that he could teach his token football move to and now he has that chance, I know he'll look after my boy."

Lindsey listened to Joe, her eyes beginning to blur from tears that were gathering. She quickly wiped her eyes and held Joe's hand ever so slightly tighter.

"I promise." She whispered sadly.

Joe nodded before moving his hand from hers and standing up, being escorted away by the police.

"Joe wait!" Lindsey shouted, jumping up from her seat as he turned around. "I forgive you." She said quietly, smiling faintly at him.

Arriving in the hotel carpark that Lindsey had booked, Freddie and Lindsey climbed out of the car and grabbed their cases from the back of the car, entwining hands as they made their way into the hotel.

"I'm proud of you for seeing Joe today; he needed to know that we forgive him." Freddie said, glancing over at Lindsey.

"Atleast he knows that now but look, tonight I just want to forget about Joe. It's our first night without the kids and we have to make the most of it." Lindsey replied, getting the keycard from the front desk.

"What do you have in mind, exactly?" He spoke as the pair made their way upstairs to the allocated hotel room.

"Come on, I think you know exactly what I'm thinking because you're thinking about it too." She glanced over at him and smirked slightly.

"Never thought you'd be the first one to suggest that, it's usually me." He winked, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close to him as they got to their room.

"Well, I'm just saying what we're both thinking so." She shrugged, her arms wrapping themselves around his waist.

"We better not waste any time then." He added, leaning down and kissing her gently yet passionately, her responding immediately.

Lindsey grabbed the keycard from his hand, somehow managing to scan it behind her, basically kicking the door open as the two of them stay in a long lingering kiss. They broke apart momentarily, chucking their suitcases into the room before Lindsey grabbed his hand, pulling him into the hotel room quickly and kicking the door back shut.

Later on that evening, Lindsey was curled up in bed beside Freddie, her head resting against his chest as she traced the letters of his 'Imaginari' tattoo with her finger.

"I can't believe we're going to be getting married soon." She said quietly and sleepily.

"I know, it's pretty surreal but I can't wait." Freddie replied quietly, placing a kiss on her head.

"I love you so much." She added, looking up at him.

"I love you too." He responded, leaning down and kissing her gently before the pair of them switched off the lights and went to sleep.
