Hold me tight| Joe & Dianne oneshot series

this is happening

A lot of you requested and suggested me writing a part two to the previous one shot, I hope you enjoy!

"I think I might be pregnant..." Dianne whispered softly so she couldn't be heard by their crazy five year old who was currently taking her carrot and cucumber sticks and not eating them but putting them into faces and sticking them up her nose. However, Joe and Dianne had bigger things to think about.

"What, really!" Joe asked, slightly taken back by the statement she just gave.

"Yes, it all clicked before. The headaches, the constant feeling of nausea and now I think about it, i've been super tired recently too." Dianne rushed out, unsure on how to feel.

"Joe, I need to check. Today."

"Right, erm ok. I'll have to go to the shops in a little bit though because the masks and gloves that I ordered for when we go out aren't arriving until about three."

The couple just sat on the couch staring at the television which was playing however, both of them not taking in what was going on. They were taking in the fact that they could be having another child when it definitely wasn't planned for anytime now.

"I finished my lunch now, pwease can I play in my room?" Aoife asked, breaking Joe out of his transe.

"Yes, of course my love." Joe replied, Dianne still getting her head around the whole situation.

"How?" Dianne suddenly asked, snapping back into reality.

"Huh?"

"Like how? When could this have happened?" She said, trying to think deeply back into the past.

"I don't know. Well, erm, I don't know Dotty. I think you should take a test before we jump to any conclusions." Joe said subtly placing his hand on her stomach.

"Joe, i'm like eighty percent sure. I just had a feeling in the pit of my stomach."

"Alright, for now we will stay and chill. I'll pop out to the shops with Aoife in a little bit and grab some bits."

"Dotty dear. Aoife and I are heading out to the shops ok, you stay here and have a sleepy." Joe said stroking her hair as she was close to falling asleep.

It was now around 4:30 pm, the face masks and gloves had arrived so, Joe wanted to head to the shops to get the essentials. And a pregnancy test. He took Aoife with him just for a little trip out although, he would be leaving her in the car because he didn't want her getting poorly from this horrible virus. Leaving his daughter on face time to her Nanny Tracy with the spare phone they have, Joe got out of the car and locked it, heading inside.

Aoife and Joe retuned home and Dianne was awake, waiting to take the test she believed would come out as positive.

"We're home." Joe said as they walked through the door.

"Hiya, did you get it?" Dianne asked Joe giving him that certain look of, keep it hush.

"Get what?" Aoife asked, looking up at Joe.

"Oh- em. Just some vegetables we need for the week." Joe said, thinking quickly on his feet.

"Right then munchkin, can you go and play for a little bit? Me and mummy just need to do something ok?"

And just like that the little five year old skipped off into her bedroom and closed the door to, so she could play with her doll in peace.
