I finished work and I went to pick up Josephine. Today was my date with John and his first time meeting Josephine. I must admit I am absolutely terrified. That's why I haven't told her that he's also coming.

"Joe", I knocked on the door to see her and George playing her favourite game snap.

"Mummy come sit. Come sit!", she flagged me over still playing, "mummy I know what's daddy middle name is now"

"Really? What is it?",

"Joshua", she answered, "Jack Joshua Dawson. He still has the name initials as me. J.J.D", she informed me. She's very smart.

"Yes. Yes it does"

"You want to play?", George asked.

"Oh no. Me and Joe must be going. I have a date tonight", they then both just looked at me.

"A date? Who with mummy?", Josephine asked.

"A nice man named John Calvert. You're gonna meet him tonight. He wants to meet you",

"He does?"

"Who wouldn't", I ducked down and kissed her head, "come on. We need to have showers and get all ready. So then he can't take his eyes off the both of us", she cheekily giggled. I then picked her up and we said goodbye to George.

"JOSEPHINE!", I called out to her standing in the bath tub, "hop in", she came running in naked from our bedroom. She happily down in front of me splashing playing with the water, "lay back", I said so she could get her hair wet. I then started to brush it while she scrubbed her arms making 'waterfalls' with the cup I used to drench her hair.

"What's he like?", she asked wondering.

"Who?", I finished one side of her hair and let it rest on her shoulder.

"The guy you're dating", she played around with the water.

"John? He's a very nice man. He has dark brown hair and green/blue eyes like me", I tried to describe him to her as I played with her hair.

"What about daddy?", she choose someone else.

"Well let me think. He has blonde hair", I curled up her curls, "but not curly, Straight. He had the prettiest bluest eyes I've ever seen in my life. He had tanned skin like Great papa George from working. And he was the most extraordinary artist that you'll ever see", I tried to brush through the rest of her hair that was the toughest part. But she didn't flinch or complain.

"So he looked like me?", her head bobbed up and back from the stroke of the brush.

"Well not exactly", I poured water on side that I am trying to brush, "you don't have straight hair, you have curly hair like mine", she then turned round to face me, "and let me see. You have my light white skin, my eyebrows, but are a bit bigger cause of your fathers. You have a couple of freckles in some places like we both do. You have his nose and smile. But my ears, poor you", I joked, "but mostly importantly you're our little girl", I wiped bubbles off her face, "nothing is ever going change that. You're always gonna be my number one girl", she smiled before I wrapped my arms around her as we both just sat with the water lapping over us.

"I love you mummy", she said before kissing my wet neck.

"I love you too Josephine Jacklyn Dawson", I began to kiss her all her face before we slipped from the back of the tub. "AH!", we both screamed as I held her tightly.

"Mummy!", Josephine splashed water on me as I laid down laughing.

"Oh come on Josie", I wanted her to lighten up, "tickle tickle, tickle tickle", I tickled her all the way to the other end of the tub as she just splashed me as I tried to get a kiss to her face.

"Mummy! Stop", she jumped running out of the tub cheekily grabbing her towel.

I then pulled the plug and grabbed my towel wrapping it around my body, "JOSIE!", I called to her as she game running into me, "right", I dried her, "time to get changed for our date", I saw a bright smile hidden in the shadow of the brown towel. We then got changed and walked out to meet John.
