A/N: Sorry it's taken so long! Things have been... tough. But I'm still here in the background! There's a song duet later in the chapter. The italic text is the female singer, the bold text is the male singer and when it's bold and italic, it's both together.
CW: Some insecurities and anxieties between some characters, a little bit of anger and upset from others, but honestly, mostly fluffy and sweet throughout!
Oli had managed to keep himself busy and after showering and cooking for himself, he soon heard the sound of Josh's car pulling up outside. The horn sounded and Oli shuffled out the door, wedging himself in the back seat next to James who was fast asleep in the baby carrier. Oli leaned over to give him a gentle kiss on his head.
"Don't even think about waking him up!" Lisa huffed from the passenger seat. "He's been really unsettled today."
"Okay, okay!" Oli raised his hands defensively and stifled a giggle as Lisa shot Josh a pissed-off look. "Uh, congratulations by the way - on the engagement and the baby."
Lisa's face softened immediately and she instinctively began fiddling with the ring adorning her left hand, her cheeks flushing a little as Josh sat up proudly in his seat and began to drive away.
"Thanks, it was a bit of a shock, on both counts!"
Oli chuckled softly and the car fell into comfortable silence as they drove the short journey to the venue. They pulled into a quiet car park and Oli offered to carry James' carrier as they were let in through a side door and of the venue security escorted the four of them through the venue and up to their safe space in the box.
"Oh my god, what's that?!" Oli laughed, suddenly noticing the tiny replica football kit James was dressed in as Josh unclipped him from his carrier.
Lisa rolled her eyes with a chuckle, taking their son from her fiancé and jiggling him a little as he began to whimper.
"Arsenal know their fans apparently," she mused. "It turned up last week and Josh couldn't wait to dress him in it."
"Well, of course! Do you blame me?" Josh puffed his chest out proudly and kissed the top of James' head before looking at his fiancée lovingly. "He was a right kicker while he was inside and we're gonna have a whole squad soon!"
"Erm, I fucking think not!" Lisa scoffed and shot Josh a look. "I'm getting sewn up after this one!"
Josh giggled cheekily, ducking away as Lisa went to playfully slap his shoulder and Oli smirked at their banter.
"God, I leave you lot for a few hours and you're already fighting one another!" The sweet, familiar voice snapped Oli's attention away and the friends looked up towards the sound too.
"What are you doing here?" Oli's face lit up, spinning and embracing his wife as she entered the box.
Mia grinned and kissed Oli sweetly before giving a wave to their friends.
"Surprise! Max has given me an extra night off tonight," she shrugged, leaning into Oli's touch. "I figured I'd come and watch the show with you guys too."
"I'm so happy to see you," Oli gushed as if he hadn't just seen her a few hours ago.
"Me too," Mia replied before turning to her friends too. "Are you all coming to the after party too?"
Lisa and Josh shared a look and Josh shrugged. The couple mumbled between themselves for a few minutes with Mia and Oli looking on. The discussion appeared to get mildly heated but eventually Lisa looked back at Mia.
