Joes pov

The boys came round to my apartment to celebrate my channel reaching 1 billion views. It's crazy to think that so many people watch my videos and support me through this amazing journey.
"Where are your drinks Joe?" Mikey asked
"Shit. I forgot to go get some" oops...
"Me, Jack and Conor will go get some from the shop."
"Will we now Mikey?"
"Yes, whats a celebration without having any beer in the house?"
"Fine but Josh is coming too." Conor whined
Mikey, Jack, Conor and Josh went out the shop to get some drinks for us
"How many pizzas Caspar?"
"3 for me" I ordered 9 pizzas for us all and it said it would only be 15 minutes.

"Joe can you get the door" Oli shouted through from the spare room
"Hi, 9 pizzas for Joe?" the delivery woman says
"Yep, thats me"
"Here you go" i know that voice from somewhere...
"Thank you Emma."
"Thats £70 please" i give her the money
"Bye, enjoy" she giggles, that giggle could always brighten up my day
"You too. Fuck, i mean enjoy your night." she just laughs at my mistake and turns away
"Hey, Emma?"
"Yes Joe?" she remembers me!
"So, its been 2 years since you left huh?"
"I left for a reason Joe."
"And i believe you. I just wanted say I thought you were a chef at the restaurant down the street, not a pizza deliverer."
"I still work there Joe. I had to get another job."
"Why?"
"Because Joe, working 8 hours a day isn't enough. I have to work 14 hours a day, 6 days a week to have enough to provide for me and our child."
"W-what? Our child?" She doesn't answer, Emma just pulls me down the corridor and unlocks what i think is her apartment.
"Susie?"
"Im through here." Emma pulls me through the front room and into a childs room.
"This is Olivia, your daughter." She hands me Olivia, we talk for another 5 minutes or so until Susie pipes up
"Emma, i need to go home sorry, maybe finish your shift early?"
"Yeah okay, thank for babysitting again today." She sighs
"She always does that! Leaves me with Olivia when she knows i have work."
"I can look after her if you want? I mean, she is my child and i should get to know her a bit."
"Joe, shes 1 and a half she won't say say very much. But thanks" she smiles, god that smile.
"Bedore you go, why did you leave?"
"When i found out i was pregnant, i was 22 and you were 23. We could barely look after ourselves never mind a child and i thought you woukd leave me so i left before you had a chance to." Emma says before walking out the door, the same way she left 2 years ago. I go back to my apartment with Olivia and go through to the sofa soon after Oli comes through.
"Where were- Whos this?"
"Olivia." then Caspar comes through vlogging
"So guys, Joe has came back finally! He probably went to some girls house." he sniggers while turning the camera round to me, i just death stare him wanting the camera out my face and soon he gets the message. "So then Joe, wheres the piz- Where did you fund that?" he says pointing to Olivia
"I didn't find her, Caspar. And she 'that' shes Olivia."
"Well put her back where you got this 'Olivia' from unless you have a good excuse not to."
"Shes my daughter." I mutter
"Yeah right, and i bet its Emmas too is that why she left you because she didn't want your child?" my eyes start filling up
"Shut up Caspar!" Oli says a little too loudly and Olivia starts crying
"Shhh, its okay. Daddys here." i whisper pulling her into my chest.
"We've just got back from the shop and it sounds like Caspars crying." Josh laughs into his camera
"Josh shut up, its not Caspar." Jack says snatching the camera off him
"Well who is it th-" Conor walks over to me and points to Olivia
"It Joes daughter, Olivia. Just shut up" Oli says as i walk into my room and lay Olivia down on my bed. I turn the light off and grab a blanket from my wardrobe and wrap it around her. Until she fell asleep i lay with her cuddled into me. I then texted Emma
J- Ill look after Olivia tonight and tomorrow until you get in from work so you wont have that shitty babysitter there. x
E- Thank you Joe, you've got a key so just go get anything you like from there x
J- Will do x
Once Olivias asleep i walk back through to the boys
"Can we do this tomorrow?"
"Of course Buddy"
"Sure"
"Yep"

*The next day*

Emma text me saying she's finished her shift so i went round to hers to drop Olivia off
"Emma, over these past 2 years we've been apart ive realised just how much i love you and need you in my life. When i found out i was a dad i realised i dont want Olivia growing up without a fatherly figure in her life. Will you be my girlfriend?"
