Joe's POV:

As we walk hand in hand through Heathrow's terminal, I can feel Dianne tense up against me as we get closer to check in and I know this is where she will need me the most. "Mum, Do you and Dad want to go and get checked in and the luggage sorted? I'll stay here with Joseph, I want to chat to him about our plans for today anyway, then we can say goodbye and get you on your way home." she suggests, nudging her mum in the direction of the machines to our left and then winking up at me. Spinning herself into my chest and nuzzling close to my neck, her breath causes me to shiver as she leans up to whisper in my ear, " Can you keep them distracted darl? I'm going to head over to the desk and see if I can upgrade mum and dad to business at least, they have never flown like that and it is a very long journey for them and as soon as they land, they are going straight to Mia's football match." kissing me, she wanders off to sort her good deed; one of my favourite things about Dianne is her eternal selflessness. That girl will honestly go above and beyond for those she loves, through little gifts, encouraging words and optimism and her famous little notes, which she places in random places when big things are happening. Seeing her excitement in her plan makes my heart swell with pride.

She's mine.

She's really mine.

"Joseph? Are you in there?" Rina teases lightly, waving her hand infront of my face and laughing loudly, " Where has our dot gone? As much as I don't want to, we need to be heading through shortly because Mark wants a mooch in the shops I think and I need to buy a little something for Billy."

Alright Joe, you got this. You can lie to your future mother-in-law easily...right? Taking a deep breath, I force a smile. " Oh she has just nipped to the loo, I think she is taking off her mascara of something so she doesn't look like a panda. I know this is hard on you all, you are incredible...I can't imagine what you all go through. I found it hard saying goodbye to Dot for 10days over Christmas!"i ramble, trying my best to keep their attention on me and not their daughter, who is approaching behind, grinning like the Cheshire cat (for now.) "i'm back mum! I guess it's time for farewell? I know what dad is like with his duty free shopping." she laughs tearfully before wrapping her mum in a tight hug. Mark, admiring the scene briefly, then takes both his girls in his arms and holds them tight as tears are shed and loving words exchanged before looking over to me, " Joseph, get over here mate, you're family too and we will miss you! I know you'll take care of her, you're a good lad. Give us a cuddle!" And with that we share a family hug before I gently peel Dianne off her mother, who she is still clinging to for dear life.

Before they walk away, Dianne holds her mums hand and explains the upgrade for the first leg of the flight, as well as handing her a card with the money for the upgrade of the second leg of the flight and more tears fall, Rina being unable to comprehend her daughters true kindness in every situations. Watching her parents walk away, she grips my hand tightly and wipes a few stray tears as I film a quick segment for my vlog, walking back towards Zoe's car. " You alright Dotty? I know you miss them already but we are going to have a good day, I promise."

Operation keep Dianne distracted...is a go.

Dianne's POV:

After a weepy goodbye this morning, Joseph bless him, has done everything in his power to keep me distracted and happy whilst trying to film some content for his channel. " Hey Di, you're really nicely lit back there, you look good!" he smiles, turning round to film me in the back of Zoe's car as we travel down to Wiltshire to visit Joe's family for a while. I'm currently curled up in the back of the car, with Nala keeping me company, listening to Joe and Zoe winding each other up about everything and anything, as well as reminiscing of their childhood. "So you two...how are things between you? It has been a long time since we have had a couplely chat...I miss your frantic phone calls Joe" Zoe presses lightly, sticking her tongue out at Joe and making me giggle whilst Joe blushes furiously, turning to give me a sheepish smile. In the moments like this, I can't believe how cute and nervous he used to be and how confident he is becoming, how secure he is with our relationship and the things he does. Offering him a smile, I turn back to Zoe, " Yeah, I think we are pretty good, unless you disagree Joe? It's nice to be able to just spend time together, embrace the little domestic things that we haven't been able to enjoy recently. Well I am anyway, Joe will be begging me to go back on tour if I leave the fridge open one more time..." This statement causes us all to chuckle.

Being father's day in the UK, I have sorted a few little bits and a card for my Joseph; He really is my everything, the best plant father and will hopefully be the best dad to our kids. Crawling into bed, I hide the little present bag beside me and wait for Joe to appear. Flopping against the massive pillows, I let myself rest for a minute, enjoying the brief moment of relaxation after a long week of shows and travelling, my eyes closing and the exhaustion slowly catching up. Feeling to bed dip, I force myself to open my eyes and see Joseph shuffling into our bed, clearly trying his hardest not to wake me up...(Bless him! The little cutie...) "Hey Joseph, you alright? I'm not asleep you know, i'm just resting my eyes. I've got you a little something to celebrate father's day, Do you want it now?" I smile up at him, wriggling closer until I'm lying across his chest, his heartbeat beating steadily and hands lazily tracing over my skin. " Number one... i'm not a dad...yet...unless you're trying to tell me something..." he starts, raising an eyebrow questioningly.

"God no!" I chuckle, " Whats number two?"

"Number two is, you didn't have to get me anything at all, you know that! Spending time with you is the best gift ever, it's all I need." he mumbles into my hair, burying his face to try and hide the blush creeping up his neck. Placing a kiss above his heart, I sit up and reach over to retrieve the carefully placed present and hand it over to him, along with the card.

"To the best plant and sloth dad in the world,

Happy father's day! Hope Mum remembers to buy the gifts.

Lots of love from,

Americano, Stan, Alera and Ferguson. XX"

"Dianne you big weirdo, I love you! This is amazing! You are...you planned all this? When did you have time with your parents and everything? I love you so much redo." the shock in his face is evident, his eyes sparkling and smile wide, while he begins to dig through the gift bag, pulling out the t-shirt, scented candle and small, framed picture that my mum had taken, of me sat with our plant children while I cuddle with Americano, with the caption underneath "All my love." "Happy not-so-father's day Joseph!" I giggle, curling closer to him once again as he wraps me in his arms and peppers me with kisses. " Speaking of fathers, are you ever going to tell me what my dad said to you this morning?" Suddenly Joe seems nervous, tugging gently at the knots in my hair and fiddling with the covers before taking a deep breath. " He uh...he was giving me his blessing I guess. Sort of. Welcoming me to the Buswell family and saying I could stick around if you get me, asking me about my intentions." He mutters, blushing once again. I don't say anything, just watch him, nodding slightly almost to encourage him to continue, " I...I told him that I want to stay around, to look after you I suppose, keep you safe and happy when your family aren't around. Di...I told him I wanted it all with you. Marriage, kids, the whole shebang. Obviously not right now, we are in no rush or anything and both are happy and settled with our careers but eventually want to marry you, see you carry our children if you will. I admitted that i'm no good at this entire relationship thing but I promise this to Mark and i'll promise it to you now so look at me," he rambles, placing his hand under my chin and lifting my face so it's level with his before concluding his declaration, " I love you Dianne Buswell. More than I will ever be able to put into words,or effectively show you because I'm an awkward sod. But I promise you this, I will never, ever deliberately hurt you. I might unintentionally, but please please tell me if that happens, let me make it up to you. I'll always respect you and your choices because it is so important to me, if you don't want to take part in whatever ive suggested, don't want me to film you or something we've done, please tell me. You are what matters to me now okay?" He leans in and presses a searing kiss to my lips and I can't help but reciprocate after that emotional break-through from my little one.

"Joseph Sugg, those are the words every girl dreams of hearing! You are literally perfect, please don't ever worry, I really can't imagine you ever hurting me, I trust you endlessly. Now come here you big softy, I have one final present for you..." smirking up at him, with a familiar glint in my eye as my hands trace down his abs...

God I love that man.
