Richpez- Can You Feel the Love Tonight?

Dedicated to im_gryffindor because we came up with this idea over a three hour GH yesterday! Thanks for always hanging with me!

"Can you feel the love tonight?" Joey sang dramatically as he exited their daughter's room to his wife, who was trying out a new recipe at eleven pm.

Lauren warned in an annoyed tone, "Shut up."

"The peace the evening brings," Joey kept singing.

Lauren kept ignoring him.

"The world for once in perfect harmony..."

The brunette looked up and glared at Joey, "Keep singing and I'll slap you."

He approached the kitchen bench, sitting on it beside the mixer, trying to look seductive, "Baby, you and I both know you would never do that."

"Oh yeah? Try me."

"With all its living things."

Lauren was silent and she kept reading through the recipe carefully.

Joey looked triumphant, "Told you, you would never do that.
So many things to tell her,
but how to make her see..."

Just as Joey started singing, Lauren pushed Joey's face away with her flour covered hand. Now, a hand print identical to Lauren's palm was imprinted in flour on Joey's face.

"Keep singing and I'll actually slap you," Lauren warned, preparing the batch of cookies to be put in the oven.

"The truth about my past, impossible.
She'd turn away from me."

Joey could suddenly feel his cheek stinging. Lauren really did slap him, but as hard as she was trying to keep a straight face, he could see her suppressing a smirk.

"Lo, you know you love me singing our song," he teased, raising an eyebrow at her, "Come on, I know you wanna sing."

Lauren ignored him as she was trying not to laugh, but when she finished shoving the cookies in the oven, a huge grin spread across her face. She rolled her eyes, but continued the song.

"He's holding back, he's hiding
But what I can't decide.
Why won't he be the king I know he is,
The king I see inside."

And Joey joined her in the chorus, leaping off the kitchen bench and taking her hand, twirling her around in the kitchen.

"Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things..."

Joey pulled Lauren in close after the last line of the chorus, both of them still slowly swaying. Lauren pressed her cheek against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat. Joey kissed the top of her head lightly, suddenly feeling lucky that he had time alone with his wife.

"Let's have another baby," he mumbled without thinking.

Lauren suddenly pulled away, looking at him as if he was crazy, "What? No! No, we are not having another baby."

"Why not?"

"Because three chihuahuas and a toddler is hard enough!" Lauren protested, "You're not gonna convince me."

"Lo..."

She rolled her eyes and checked on the cookies, "Besides, Hanna is too young to cope with the idea of another sibling."

"She's two! By the time the baby gets here she'll be three..."

Lauren cut her husband off, "I'll consider having another puppy."

"Well we can wait," Joey steered her away from the topic, and put on I See The Light from Tangled on his phone, pulling Lauren close once again, "Let's just enjoy living in the moment, we have more time to think about more kids."

Three months later...

"Ugh Joey, I hate you so much!" Lauren groaned as she walked out of the bathroom. Joey was sitting on the couch, on his laptop editing another Tin Can Brothers sketch, oblivious to what was going on.

"Joey," she called, crossing her arms.

He looked up, "What?"

"I'll hate you forever and ever."

"What did I do now?!" Joey asked nervously, "What did I do to piss you off?"

Lauren threw a plastic stick at Joey, when he saw it, his jaw dropped and she swore he had the happiest smile on his face.

"You knocked me up."

He ran up, took Lauren's waist and kissed her passionately. Even though she was intimidated by the idea of another baby, Lauren couldn't deny that she was beyond excited.

"Are you still mad at me?" Joey asked, chuckling and tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

Lauren laughed, wrapping her arms around his neck, "Maybe...? But I am excited, we'll have another child to spoil rotten, the Starkids would have another monster to chase around and Hanna will literally have a best friend."

Joey looked at Lauren hopefully, "You're really not mad?"

"Unless you promise that two's our number."

"Deal," he smiled warmly and pulled her into a slow kiss.
