Ever since they had began dating over 8 years ago now, joe had noticed that dianne always had a tendency to tease him for the concentration that he always displayed on his face whenever he tried to park the car. Without a doubt, she would always giggle as she lovingly watched him stress about whether he had managed to get the car in between the lines, if he would beable to open the door without bumping into the car next to him and even worry about whether he'd beable to get the car back out of the parking space.
Today however joe, for probably the first time in their whole relationship, had managed to park the car in silence, dianne having being preoccupied already.
He turned off the engine and noticed out the corner of his eye that she was looking into the rear view mirror, tucking her red tresses into the hood of the thick black winter coat she was wearing. Once she was happy with her look, and all the red was hidden, she reached for the large bottle of water that was sat in her lap and took a big gulp.
"Oh sorry!"
She jumped slightly a few seconds later, noticing that joe was sat next to her now patiently waiting.
"Was just...you know...trying to make it so I don't look like me"
She told him, looking up into the rearview mirror again to check that all her hair was hidden.
"I told you, you don't need to worry about this. We haven't been papped in a public space for years. I feel like you're going all incognito on me, as if we're I'm the first few weeks again and you're trying to sneak into my flat without being seen"
The redhead giggled slightly as she was suddenly transported back to when her and joes relationship was still a secret that was only being kept between the two of them. There had been many nights, when she had done exactly this, and tried to hide herself from being photographed sneaking into his apartment, with an overnight bag.
"I'm not nervous about being papped. We just don't know who's out there, do we? What if somebody in there, knows who we are, and plasters all over social media that were here?"
Joe had noticed dianne had been slightly stressed over this all morning. She had dressed in all black, which wasn't like her, and had even left with her sun glasses on, despite it being a very grey, rainy day in the middle of January.
"Its 9am on a Monday morning dot! I highly doubt there will be any people in there and even if there is, I don't think it's really the place where somebody would open their twitter and shout from the roof tops that they've seen us"
Dianne sighed heavily. She knew joe was right and she was over thinking.
"Sorry...I'm being abit dramatic, again"
She looked down, almost a little bit embarrassed.
"Its ok. You're not being dramatic. You're just over thinking a little which is understandable"
He reassured her.
"I'm just so...."
Dianne paused for a moment, trying to think of the right word. She was feeling so many emotions right now.
"Nervous-excited. Yeah, I think that's the right way to put it. I'm nervous-excited"
She nodded her head confidently, happy with the way she had put it.
"You're going to be. I think I am too. I mean...we're literally getting go see our baby for the first time. It's so exciting"
He said, making dianne smile and his hand subconsciously moved over the centre console and onto her lower abdomen.
Dianne was currently pregnant with their first child and was roughly somewhere between 10 and 11 weeks.
So far they had only had one appointment where a midwife came out to their house to ask them lots of questions about the pregnancy so far and spoke to them about how to stay safe in the first trimester. Today though, was their very first ultrasound, a day they had both been desperate for.
