Joe's POV:

Narcus had left so I decided to film an apology video to my channel. Just to say sorry for not uploading and to say that I might not for a while. Zoe had gone to bed and so I just sat there, alone. I still can't get over how stupid I was. I decided to sleep. I edited the video and sent out a tweet before sliding into bed. Why did I do it? It just haunts me.

*The Next Morning*

I woke to the smell of bacon coming from the kitchen so I got up and dressed. I went through to the kitchen to see Zoe, Tanya and Jim. "How are you Joe?" Tanya asked as she came to hug me. "Okay I guess. You?" "I'm great." She nodded. "Hey Joe." Jim said as he put his phone down to engage in the conversation. "Hey Jim. How are you?" I asked as I sat on the stool beside him at the breakfast bar. "I'm good thanks." He smiled. We talked for a while over breakfast before deciding to head out to town so the girls could shop and Zoe still wanted stuff for the baby. "Oh I have an appointment later Joe. I had completely forgotten!" Zoe said excitedly. "Okay what time?" I asked. Not really that interested. "4."

This conversation continued for another hour until we finally left. "Tan can you come later?" Zoe asked Tanya and she nodded excitedly. "Of course Zoe!" She squealed. "How about we just hang out until then? Then head back to Joe's, you two go and then i'll stay with Joe? If that's okay Joe?" Jim suggested and Zoe and Tanya agreed. "Erm yeah, sure." I nodded.

We arrived at the shopping centre and headed for the shops. The girls went straight for the baby stores and me and Jim just trailed behind. "So how have you been?" Jim asked me, trying to start a conversation. "Okay, I guess. Been better. I saw Marcus yesterday. I told him everything and then he just walked out." I explained. "Oh." He commented. "So how about you?" I asked. "I'm good, I have a lot on my mind. I'm actually happy Tan's going with Zoe, because I have somewhere I have to be and I would have had to make up an excuse." He spoke. "What do you mean?" I asked worried. They tell each other everything so what would he be hiding? "I have to go to an appointment and Tanya already has a lot to worry about so I don't want to worry her." I understood what he meant and just put the matter to rest as we caught up with the girls in mothercare. "I know I'm meant to be with you so you're not alone and can do something, but I'm trusting you so please don't because it'll end up bad for both of us." He tried to lighten the mood a little.

We shopped for a while and had to take a few trips back to the car with all the bags. Jim had to keep leaving us to take calls and things and seemed really distracted so I pulled him to the side. "Jim what's up? You seem... distracted." He sighed and spoke. "It's nothing. Just work and everything. It's fine honestly. I'm gonna turn my phone off though. It's just annoying me now." I nodded and watched as he did what he said. We took a lunch break and went to Pret. "I just need to grab some shoes if that's okay before we leave." Jim spoke. "Yeah of course. As long as we get back to Joe's for about 3:30 for the appointment." Zoe said excitedly.

We all nodded and ate our meals. We sat and talked for a little while before continuing shopping and heading towards the apartment at around 3. Once again we sat and talked for a while before Jim's phone began to go crazy and the girls had to leave. "We'll be about an hour or so. Do you want us to bring food back?" The girls asked and Jim and I nodded. "Wagamama's?" Zoe asked and we all nodded so they went out Zoe's mini.

"Joe. I have to go. I will be back around 5-5:30 just text me when they're on the way back please?" Jim asked looking desperate and I nodded. He thanked me and left after checking the girls had left.

Jim's POV:

My phone had been going crazy all day. Work, family and the doctors. Nobody knew about the doctors though. Not even Tan. I'd recently been informed about my dad. He'd never spoke to our family since I was born. He abused my Mom. Put the family in danger so we shut him out. Until he got in contact to tell my Mom he was positive for prostate cancer. This meant he was dying. They'd found it at an incurable stage. This also meant me and my brother needed to be tested. And I was so nervous. I didn't want to drop this on Tan. Not yet. So this is why my family keep calling, and why the doctors keep calling too.

I was going to pick up John and head for the doctors. We needed to take some tests. See if we have it too. I found him at the station and he hopped in. He looked just as nervous as me. "How are you?" I asked as we drove towards the doctors. "Nervous, other than that good, I guess. You?" "Same really. I just can't believe it." I said slightly shocked. "Me neither."
