"Come on Gemma it's time for bed," Matt, Gemma's husband spoke as she watched her run around the living room her uncle chasing her."Joseph she's meant to be settling down." Joe couldn't help but grin as he lifted Gemma up into his arms once he had caught up with her. Gemma squealed squirming in his arms trying to get out.
"I'll get her into bed," Joe stated before disappearing upstairs with Gemma who was still squirming trying to get out of his arms. He entered her bedroom setting her down on the floor. "It's time for bed Gemma, we'll play again tomorrow when I get home from school."
"Story?" Gemma questioned Joe nodding his head as he pulled her shirt over her head.
"Sure but let's get you changed first," Joe helped Gemma change into her pyjamas before she climbed up into her bed Joe tucking her in but sat back against her cabinet which was next to her bed so he could tell her a story, she was still able to see him but he hoped she'd be asleep soon. "Once upon a time there was a princess called Gemma and a prince called Jackson."
"That's lying!" Joe laughed.
"It's a story Gemma, I can make it what I want and there's a princess called Gemma and a prince called Jackson." Joe demanded Gemma giggling before Joe continued the story as he looked down at the ground, Gemma had fallen asleep but Joe continued until he fell asleep himself after a long day. It was about half an hour later that Jenna had found him when Jackson had started to demand for his parents attention. She woke him up and he went straight to bed himself.
Joe woke up in the guest bedroom the next morning, he took a shower before he headed downstairs seeing that Matt had just left for work leaving Jenna alone with the children. Gemma was having her breakfast and Jackson was whimpering in his mother's arms, Joe took him from her rocking him gently until he settled down then laying him down on the couch two cushions by his side.
"Thank you." Jenna told him as he entered the kitchen again kissing her forehead, he was taller even though he was eleven years younger.
"It's okay." Joe got himself his own breakfast before sitting down next to Gemma who was colouring as she ate her cereal.
"Joey play?" Gemma questioned.
"Uncle Joey has school soon, he'll be home to play with you this afternoon." Jenna answered sitting down herself now that Jackson was calmed.
"Can me go to school with Joey?" They couldn't help but laugh.
"I'd love for you to come to school with me but it's not for three year old girls," Joe stated kissing the top of her head. "It's barely suitable for me." Joe mumbled under his breath making Jenna laugh at her younger brother.
"You don't have long left now then you'll be free." Jenna answered.
"I'll be lucky," Joe muttered. "Um my girlfriend is pregnant." Jenna looked at her younger brother seeing now signs that he was joking like he would usually. He had always been a jokester but she couldn't see anything.
"Really?" Joe nodded his head gently.
"I wore protection the one time we took it to that step but it must have broke or whatever. I don't actually know how far along she is, yesterday was a bit hectic." Joe explained.
"And you're not happy about it?" Jenna questioned Joe shrugging his shoulders.
"I want to be but with everything that is going on with Gary I don't know if I can, my baby wouldn't be safe if he knew that he or she existed." Joe admitted.
"What is the deal with Gary? He seems like a decent enough guy to me."
"I-I can't talk about it yet, it was hard enough to tell the police yesterday which was useless," Joe muttered. "I'm going to school, I'll be home around four." Joe got up and left without another word.
