Joanne ~ Back in time

Chapter 31~Advice

{Joe's POV}

The rest of the week was a blur because I spent it stressing about Friday. Dianne kept on ensuring me we would be fine but I couldn't help thinking the worse, for example, what if I was to drop Dianne, or Dianne landed funny, or one of us forgot the dance it would probably be me because-.

E-"Daddy we need to go"
M-"Mums putting all of our bags in the car"
J-"Macklynn did you just call Dianne mum"
M-"Urm yeah sorry"
J-"No there's no need to be sorry I just thought I had heard wrong"
E-"Come on you two mummy's shouting us"
D-"Come on we're gonna be late"
J-"Let's go"

We dropped Macklynn off first then Eponiné. I think we might actually be on time.

D-"We're on schedule"
J-"For once"
D-"I know we're doing well"
J-"Did you hear Macklynn call you mum this morning"
D-"What no... she called me mum"
J-"Yeah"
D-"I thought, even though Eponiné calls us mum and dad, she was still going to call us Joe and Dianne"
J-"Yeah same, she's only called you mum though she'll probably keep calling me Joe"
D-"I don't know you know"
J-"I think we need to see Adisha"
D-"Yeah we need to keep her in the loop and we have questions so we definitely do"
J-"I'll call her now"

Dianne continued to drive to school as I called Adisha.

J-"She's agreed to meet us at school"
D-"What time"
J-"9:00"
D-"Yes we miss Science"
J-"Oh yes, get in"
D-"That's pretty much as soon as we get there"
J-"Yeah so we'll just go to registration then meet her"
D-"Yeah"

We parked up at school then quickly went to registration. On our way out of registration, Ambar walked towards our friendship group clearly trying to get to Dianne. When she reached us she simply said "Your car is cr*p and absolute garbage"

J-"What"
D-"Wait What"
A-"You heard me"
E-"Yeah we did but it doesn't make any sense you stupid b*tch"

Ambar walked off.

M-"Emily calm down"
D-"What the hell was that"
J-"That literally doesn't make any sense"
C-"What do your cars look like"

Ambars car:

Dianne's car:

Mi-"But Dianne's car is better"
E-"Exactly"
B-"I mean they're both nice cars but I would definitely prefer Dianne's car"
E-"Again exactly"
J-"That's why it doesn't make sense"
M-"Mean bullies like her don't use their brain"
Ja-"Clearly"

We all laughed. Dianne looked at me, we needed to go see Adisha.

J-"Dianne and I need to go"
T-"Where are you going"
D-"We've got a meeting"

Before anyone could ask any more questions Dianne and I walked away.

{Dianne's POV}

J-"Are you ok"
D-"Just nervous"
J-"Why"
D-"I don't know"
J-"Come here"

Joe reached his arms out and hugged me tightly. Joe kissed the top of my head gently. Adisha saw us and walked over two us. She led us into a room. Dianne and I sat on the sofa and Adisha sat on the one opposite.

A-"So why did you want to see me"
D-"We need advice"
A-"Ooo that reminds me I do actually need to talk to you about something"
J-"Ok"
D-"What about"
A-"So the girls foster parents can have them back on Saturday next week"
D-"That's good"
J-"Yeah"
A-"So what did you want advice about"
D-"So Eponiné started calling Joe dad just to keep you in the loop"
J-"And Macklynn called Dianne mum this morning"
D-"We need advice on the second bit"
A-"Okay"
D-"Macklynn said she wasn't going to call me Mum yet she did this morning"
A-"Did she say it intentionally"
J-"I don't think so because she said it quite quickly"
A-"What did she say"
J-"Mums putting all of our bags in the car or something like that"
A-"Okay maybe she thinks if she starts calling you Mum and dad it would be awkward"
J-"Oh she won't call me dad"
A-"I wouldn't be too sure about that"
J-"Why"
D-"You came into the girls' lives and showed them more love, support and care than their biological father ever has"
A-"Anyone can be a father but it takes someone really special to be a dad and to them your that special someone"
D-"Joe they love you, I wouldn't be surprised if Macklynn calls you dad"
J-"But that still doesn't explain why Macklynn called you Mum I know she probably thought it would be awkward"
A-"Because she wants to call you Mum and Dad because that's who you are to her but she thinks it would be awkward so this morning she subconsciously called Dianne Mum"
D-"What do we do about that"
A-"Well the likelihood is she will realize that it wouldn't be awkward if she called you Mum and Dad and she will just start calling you it or she'll keep on trying not to call you it but will keep on calling you it by accident"
D-"So either way she'll call us mum and dad"
A-"Pretty much"
J-"It's crazy to think that over two weeks ago I was single and didn't have a family"
D-"And now you have an amazing girlfriend and two beautiful little girls"

Joe and Adisha laughed at the fact that I called myself amazing.

D-"What I am amazing"
J-"We know"
A-"It's just funny that you said that"
D-"Part of my amazingness is that I'm also really funny"

Joe and Adisha laughed again.

D-"Told you"

Even I couldn't help but laugh his time. After we all had stopped laughing Adisha said that she should probably get going. We all stood up, I wrapped my arms around Joe's waist and hugged him, he hugged me back.

A-"But before I go, Joe, I just wanted to say thank you for being great with the girls and being an amazing boyfriend to Dianne and also you better treat them right if you don't you'll have me to answer to"
J-"Don't worry I will"
D-"He will he's incredible"

I looked up at Joe and he looked down and placed a soft kiss on my lips. Adisha smiled at us then left.

D-"I love you"
J-"I love you too"
D-"What lesson do we have now"
J-"Music where we get to perform our duet"
D-"Yes let's go, I'm so excited"
J-"Come on you"

I went to grab my bag then ran back to Joe and held his hand as we walked to music.
