Unlikely Pair

Opening up to him...

(Joe's Pov)

I knocked on the door to see Dianne cradling a small baby. Next thing I know she broke into tears. I quickly grabbed the child out of her arms and layed her into the bouncer before picking the sobbing Dianne off of the floor. I hushed , rocking her in my arms. I was very confused but I knew she didn't need questions. I'd come to drop her some work to do and now I'm sat in her living room holding her shaking body in my arms.

I cried, not sure wether it was in shock, embarrassment but it was definitely in guilt. If no one knew about her I was fine about Lying about Ellie but she was right there. When she needed the most I lied about her being my daughter. Joe's arms felt safe and warm.

Now I had to tell him...
"she-she's my daughter..." I smiled at the baby, still sobbing.

I was shocked. A baby? Dianne? I held her tighter. No wonder she's always tired. She's pretty amazing! I lifted her up and sat her on the sofa, wiping away her tears with my sleeve.

I sat and explained everything, how I didn't know her father and how I didn't want to stay with my father in Australia because of how he reacted. How my mom works 3 jobs to pay for us because she wants me to stay in school. He sat there dumbfounded.

He said he had to leave so I walked him to the door.
Oh and Joe...."
"Yeah?"
"Don't tell anyone"
He winked and smiled before walking off and I felt my cheeks burning up.
