Sundays are the best days, both of them off together relaxing being a couple, before the week kicks off. Joe was about to go into his last week of waitress and for dianne it was blackpool week. After their performance last night dianne was surprised they were still in the competition but it wasn't that, that was putting her on edge. She had yet to feel comfortable with her partner and she didn't understand why. Obviously unlike a normal job dancing is very intimate so trusting your partner is key, but she just couldn't settle near him she always felt on guard.
Joe had loved his time on waitress, even though it was coming to an end in time for him to sort stuff out for his and Dianne's tour before they went to Australia for Christmas. Dianne came to see him on opening night, press night and she was coming on the Friday before closing night. He couldn't wait to be able to be home when she got home and massage her aching feet and run her baths. No matter how much he had loved the experience of the West end he missed the home life he had got used to before Jogie came about. The domestic lifestyle he had always hoped for.
Seeing each other very little hadn't had much of an effect on Joe and Dianne's relationship they were still pranking each other at every given moment and sharing their evenings cuddled up in bed talking about their days.
It was now the sunday, their only day off a week. Dianne had left Blackpool early that morning after not such a good night, she hadn't gone to the after party after just wanting to cuddle up in bed on facetime with her joey. Joe had quickly worked out his red-headed girlfriend wasn't her usual self, although he didn't want to question it over the phone he placed it at the back of his mind ready to ask her the next day.
Shuffling through the door, suitcase being slowly dragged behind her, Dianne ditched her bag and suitcase at the bottom of the stairs and headed in to the kitchen to be greeted with a stack of pancakes and a fresh coffee. Joe stood on the other side of the island smiling like a Cheshire cat at his girlfriend.
"Welcome home how was blackpool?" Joe started as he walked over and enveloped the red-head into a tight hug. "good....um yeah stressful and tiring, I think its going to be our last week, I'm surprised we are still in now. Not that i'd mind if we weren't"
Sitting down together on the barstools eating the freshly made pancakes and enjoying each others company was one of the simple things both of them missed. Although the cuddles and kisses were amazing they had spent nearly 4 months in each other's pockets to be split by tours and various other things. Both looking forward to Christmas when things settled down before their own tour.
When they were alone in moments like this Joe couldn't help but picture the future of the two, lay in bed with a toddler at their feet and a newborn between them, at the peak of life. When they will be happiest. together!
Dianne couldn't help but wonder when the first child she dreamed of so much would appear, she knew that she couldn't hold off much longer. She was halfway through her 30th year on the planet and her biological clock was ticking faster and faster each day. Although they had talked about it she couldn't help but feel like she wanted the more domestic life, the school run, the dog walks, cooking family dinners more than Joe.
"What you thinking of little one?" Joe asked his red-headed girlfriend
"Everything, us, our future" dianne suddenly couldn't talk, she couldn't get out what she wanted to say but she knew she needed to know where Joe's head was at. "Joe when do you want kids? Im not getting any younger and I honestly hoped I would have a little baba by now or at least be somewhere near that".
She hadn't expected it all just to come out, she cursed her self the minute it had happened. Joe didn't need to know this yet they had only just been together a year.
"Di calm down, I promise I want that too in the next year or so maybe but I promise I want this, I want the domestic family life with you and nobody else"
